"But I have to say, that little girl is indeed petite and cute, just far too young. Wow, you don't have *that* kind of preference, do you?"
As she spoke, Luo Tianhong burst into laughter.
"So you were the one who sneaked into Tianxiong City and took Han Xue away without anyone noticing?"
At this mont, everything was explained. After all, Luo Tianhong did have the power to do so. Even Ju Tian'en wouldn't be her match, so entering Tianxiong City and leaving with a person was far from a challenging feat for her.
"Even if you know all this, what difference does it make? Unless I speak, you will never find Han Xue."
Luo Tianhong crossed her arms, still swaggering.
Wang Zhan clenched his teeth tightly. He swiftly lunged at Luo Tianhong, pressing the Deep Fire Blade to her throat. "If you don't start talking, do you believe I'll kill you right now?"
"Don't try to scare . Never mind whether you have the ability; just the fact that I know Han Xue's whereabouts ans you wouldn't dare to harm , right?"
Although Luo Tianhong seed quite young, she was remarkably cunning. Even so adults were no match for her in terms of scheming.
With this in mind, Wang Zhan clenched his fists, swiftly approached Luo Tianhong, and asked, "And why are you tornting Han Xue? I presu you two have never t, correct?"
"Of course, it's because of you. If she weren't with you, I would never have known who she is. Besides, whether she lives or dies is of no concern to ."
Hearing this, Wang Zhan's eyes widened. Apparently, Luo Tianhong had been following him all along and knew their every move.
This was indeed sowhat terrifying.
Of course, he wasn't worried that Luo Tianhong was constantly behind him, but rather that after such a long ti, he hadn't detected Luo Tianhong's presence at all. This indicated that Luo Tianhong's cultivation had undoubtedly improved once more.
"Moreover, I can see you care a great deal about her. But I also know you well. Your capabilities might not be great, but you still want to protect everyone around you. Unfortunately, I'm here to tell you, you simply can't do that. I will make you recognize, little by little, the reality of your own helplessness."
Luo Tianhong looked down on Wang Zhan. Her condescending deanor was repulsive.
Wang Zhan clenched his fists tightly, stepping gradually towards Luo Tianhong, before rapidly brandishing the Deep Fire Blade in his hand.
A Fire Dragon suddenly appeared before Luo Tianhong, who quickly conjured a light screen to block it.
Luo Tianhong instinctively retreated a few steps. She squinted, glanced at Wang Zhan, and then said, "With your ager abilities, you still want to kill ?"
As she spoke, Luo Tianhong raised her hand again. It paused for but an instant before suddenly striking down towards Wang Zhan's position.
Just as the light screen was about to reach him, Wang Zhan quickly raised the Deep Fire Blade in his hand.
One after another, Fire Dragons appeared in the Sky, instantly colliding with the descending light screen.
Both retreated a few steps, yet neither was injured.
Wang Zhan, narrowing his eyes, stared at Luo Tianhong for a good while before frowning and saying, "So you're deceiving ? Your strength has already recovered, hasn't it?"
Luo Tianhong just smiled and said, "Why do you care so much? Regardless, I don't wish to be your enemy at this mont. As long as you don't attack , I won't make things difficult for you."
Wang Zhan glared at her, asking word by word, "If you don't want to be my enemy, then why did you take Han Xue away?"
"The main reason I took her is because she has sothing I want. If you can help
get it, then perhaps I'll release her."
Luo Tianhong squinted her eyes slightly, looking at Wang Zhan with a playful smile.
Ultimately, this was still just a transaction.
Wang Zhan clenched his fists. He knew Luo Tianhong approaching him never ant anything good.
"Speak. What do you want? Which ruins are you planning to drag
to this ti?"
Clearly, Wang Zhan had already figured out her intention.
Luo Tianhong smiled, walked briskly up to him, patted his shoulder, and then said, "Do you know of the Fire Dragon Bead?"
"I've heard Han Xue ntion the Fire Dragon Bead before. So, you abducted her for the Fire Dragon Bead, correct?"
Wang Zhan instantly understood her objective.
Indeed, it seed wherever treasures were involved, Luo Tianhong would be present.
Luo Tianhong, at her side, narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a laugh, "Who else could it be? My purpose in coming to this region was precisely for the Fire Dragon Bead. However, I never expected to encounter you here. That truly is sowhat surprising to ."
Wang Zhan stated directly, "Fine. I don't care where the Fire Dragon Bead is, nor how you plan to obtain it. But I have one condition: you must release Han Xue as soon as possible. As long as I can see Han Xue, I will definitely accompany you to get the Fire Dragon Bead."
Luo Tianhong, however, shook her head. "I'm afraid that won't work. If I release her and you take her into Tianxiong City, although you are not my match, if you and Ju Tian'en team up, I would be the one at a disadvantage."
Wang Zhan retorted calmly, "If Ju Tian'en were here now, wouldn't you still be at a disadvantage?"
Luo Tianhong's face revealed no worry. Instead, she chuckled and responded, "With the external threat to Tianxiong City, I imagine he currently has neither the ti nor the energy to deal with . So, I don't need to worry about these things."
"But I must still advise you, even if you two join forces, killing
would not be an easy task. While I might not be able to defeat both of you, if you two try to kill , be careful you don't lose your own lives. In the end, it would only result in mutual destruction."
"So, you'd better think it over carefully. Besides, since I dared to co here, I naturally have no worries. Even if you want to kill , I will not tell you Han Xue's location unless you help
obtain the Fire Dragon Bead."
Wang Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly. He was very clear about Luo Tianhong's personality, so he didn't believe she was joking. That likely ant Luo Tianhong did indeed know Han Xue's whereabouts. However, considering her sly and ruthless personality, retrieving Han Xue from her grasp would be no easy feat.
"Why must it be ?" Wang Zhan asked, his brow slightly furrowed, the Deep Fire Blade still in his hand. "Besides, our cultivation levels are comparable. Anything I can reach, surely you can too, right?"
"How can I know that after you obtain the Fire Dragon Bead, you will actually hand Han Xue over to ?" Wang Zhan's gaze on Luo Tianhong grew much colder. "After all, I don't trust your character. And after all this ti, you should be well aware of your own conduct."
After all, Luo Tianhong had plotted against him more than once.
Luo Tianhong crossed her arms, squinting and smiling as she looked at Wang Zhan, then shook her head and said, "Indeed, you don't have to trust . You can also question my character. But let
give you a piece of advice: Han Xue is currently in my hands. Believe it or not, it's up to you. You can return to Tianxiong City and conduct an exhaustive search. See if you can find her."
"Don't bla
for not reminding you, the ti left for you is not much. After all, I am not a patient person. If I find other partners for cooperation, perhaps I will just dispose of her directly. I really don't want her to continue wasting my ti, nor do I have the energy to look after a little girl."
Wang Zhan nearly ground his teeth to dust. He had never imagined Luo Tianhong could be so despicable. But he had to admit, there was so truth to what Luo Tianhong said. Luo Tianhong was a demonic beast, her thods extrely brutal; she had even nearly killed him in the past.
At these thoughts, Wang Zhan's expression beca even uglier.
He dared not gamble.
"Have you made up your mind?" Luo Tianhong narrowed her eyes at Wang Zhan. "If so, decide quickly. After all, obtaining the Fire Dragon Bead is no easy task. Fortunately, I suddenly recalled the process by which you obtained the Deep Fire Blade. It seems you can withstand high heat, correct?"
However, Wang Zhan only furrowed his eyebrows slightly and explained, "I think you should know that I had the Heavenly Dragon Armor protecting
back then. But when you attacked
last ti, the Heavenly Dragon Armor was shattered by you. So how could I possibly withstand such intense heat?"
"So it was all because of the Heavenly Dragon Armor?" Luo Tianhong mused, slightly narrowing her eyes. She had never imagined the Heavenly Dragon Armor possessed such an effect! In that case, Wang Zhan's ability to co back from the dead back then—wasn't that also thanks to the Heavenly Dragon Armor?
"Otherwise, why do you think I am standing here?" Wang Zhan said nonchalantly. "It was because the Heavenly Dragon Armor saved my life back then."
"I didn't expect you to be so useless. In that case, Han Xue has no more value."
As she spoke, Luo Tianhong turned around, waved to Wang Zhan, and said, "After I kill her, I will tell you her location, so you can collect her body."
"You're courting death!" Wang Zhan bellowed, instantly leaping up and swinging the Deep Fire Blade in his hand. "If you don't tell
Han Xue's location, don't even think about leaving today!"
