"But have you considered, Sister, what if Brother Wang truly does so?"
Upon hearing Han Xue's words, Luo Xue's expression imdiately turned grim. After patting Han Xue on the head, she said, "What on earth are you thinking? Stop scaring yourself. Maybe Brother Wang has already forgotten about this matter after returning."
Han Xue lowered her gaze, obviously doubting that things could be resolved so easily. Even if Wang Zhan didn't send them back to the fifth war zone, he probably wouldn't let them off easy either.
Han Xue sighed and then hastily followed Luo Xue. They couldn't afford to waste any more ti lingering there; if Wang Zhan discovered them, matters would beco even more difficult.
「Soon, the three of them had returned to the hotel.」
Now, with Wang Zhan and Ju Tian'en joining the battlefield, the beasts could no longer make their defense line waver, and they were retreating step by step. If this situation continued, humans would soon dominate the battlefield.
Just as Wang Zhan and Ju Tian'en were about to wipe out all the beasts, Ju Tian'en's expression suddenly turned grim. He narrowed his eyes, scanned in the direction of Tianxiong City, and then quickly darted toward it.
Within a few steps, he was on the city wall of Tianxiong City.
Wang Zhan also noticed his unusual behavior. In a flash, he kicked away several beasts around him and quickly joined Ju Tian'en, anxiously asking, "Has sothing happened in Tianxiong City?"
Wang Zhan recalled the image of the level 7 Beast in his mind, as well as its words.
"It's not that so powerful creature has appeared," Ju Tian'en said, "but rather, I sense that soone has tampered with the city-guarding treasure."
Over the years, Ju Tian'en had always been in Tianxiong City and had co into contact with the city-guarding treasure nurous tis. His connection to the treasure far exceeded what others could imagine, so he knew there was a problem with it the mont he felt sothing was amiss.
"Soone is targeting the city-guarding treasure?" Wang Zhan's expression changed. Luo Tianhong's image flashed in his mind. Could it be her?
Ju Tian'en didn't have ti to dwell on it; his sole focus was protecting the city-guarding treasure. After all, Tianxiong City had stood proudly on the Star War Battlefield for so long solely because of the city-guarding treasure. If it were taken, Tianxiong City would lose its final level barrier. Should a powerful demonic beast then attack the city walls, he might not even be able to protect the people within Tianxiong City. What purpose would he serve as City Lord then?
With this in mind, Ju Tian'en quickened his pace and soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
Wang Zhan followed closely. The two of them quickly ascended to the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion, where Wang Zhan discovered a mysterious barrier.
"Be very careful," Ju Tian'en warned. "I can definitely feel soone trying to touch the city-guarding treasure. That person possesses formidable strength. As soon as we pass this barrier, we will encounter them. So, we must be fully alert."
Wang Zhan nodded gravely. He knew he had to proceed with caution. He now understood the intentions of the level 7 Beast. There had to be an existence on the Star War Battlefield even more terrifying than the level 7 Beast, and that terrifying entity was now targeting the city-guarding treasure. An answer ford in his mind: it was likely Luo Tianhong, who had yet to reveal herself. She was extrely cunning and sinister. It was highly probable that Luo Tianhong had exploited their conflict with the beasts to sneak in and attempt to steal the city-guarding treasure. That way, she could obtain it without any effort. One had to admit, Luo Tianhong was truly devious.
Wang Zhan clenched his fists, looked at the barrier before him, and then rushed in first.
Ju Tian'en was about to speak, but Wang Zhan had already vanished before him. Without hesitation, Ju Tian'en quickly followed.
Soon, they both entered the barrier. Energy ripples perated the air. This place was indeed well-constructed, Wang Zhan thought, but he could tell at a glance that extrely formidable formation techniques were deployed here. Of course, this formation was likely Tianxiong City's protective formation—the City Protection Formation.
After scanning his surroundings within the barrier, his gaze imdiately fell upon a longsword not far away.
"Is that the city-guarding treasure?" Wang Zhan was surprised; Tianxiong City's city-guarding treasure was actually a treasure sword!
Ju Tian'en nodded firmly, but disbelief filled his eyes. "My senses can't be wrong. Just now, I clearly sensed soone entering this barrier, intending to touch the city-guarding treasure. They might have even made contact with it. But there's no one here now. How is that possible?"
Of course, Wang Zhan also believed Ju Tian'en. Ju Tian'en's abilities, although not as great as his own, were still quite formidable. Coupled with his close connection to the city-guarding treasure, his senses would absolutely not be mistaken.
But if they couldn't see anyone here, there was only one possibility: the person had likely hidden.
Wang Zhan instantly drew his Deep Fire Blade and swung it in all directions.
Instantly, Fire Dragons filled the entire barrier. For a mont, it seed as if Heaven and Earth were dyed red by the Fire Light.
Standing nearby, Ju Tian'en looked at Wang Zhan in shock and blurted out, "Brother Wang, what are you doing?"
Wang Zhan squinted, surveying the surroundings, then turned his gaze to a patch of darkness not far away. He imdiately gripped the Deep Fire Blade, slashing it through the air. A blaze of Fire Light descended, smashing violently into that darkness.
BOOM!
Following the loud noise, Wang Zhan swiftly rose and leaped aside, the Deep Fire Blade in his hand trembling uncontrollably.
More Fire Dragons appeared out of thin air, rampaging through the space.
However, Wang Zhan noticed sothing. Within that darkness, there seed to be another hidden barrier.
Ju Tian'en also looked in the direction of the Fire Dragons, his gaze gradually turning colder. "Damn it, what is going on?"
He squinted towards that spot not far away, then ground his teeth. Could there actually be soone there? Otherwise, how could this barrier exist?
As he spoke, he clenched his fists and charged towards the darkness.
In the blink of an eye, he reached the dark area. He quickly raised his hand and, gathering all his strength, smashed it against that hidden barrier.
The next second, the barrier shattered instantly, and to his surprise, there was indeed soone inside!
"Who are you? Why are you here? And how did you know where I hid Tianxiong City's city-guarding treasure?" Ju Tian'en fired off several questions, his eyes blazing with killing intent. After all, the city-guarding treasure was critically important and could not afford to be lost.
Wang Zhan's pupils contracted. Seeing the person standing before him, his expression changed slightly. He frowned and said, "I didn't expect you to be so difficult to get rid of, showing up here of all places."
Indeed, the person standing before them was none other than Luo Tianhong, who had remained hidden until now.
Clearly, Luo Tianhong's sole objective was Tianxiong City's city-guarding treasure; she showed no interest in anything else.
She walked up to Wang Zhan, a smile on her face, and shrugged. "I told you long ago that I wanted the city-guarding treasure. Since you weren't prepared to hand it over directly, I naturally had to resort to this thod. Otherwise, I would never obtain the city-guarding treasure in my lifeti."
"This doesn't belong to you in the first place. What right do you have to touch it?" Wang Zhan gave Luo Tianhong a cold glare.
Any previous camaraderie between them had clearly vanished. Now, he and Luo Tianhong were mortal enemies. After all, when they were within the boundary earlier, Luo Tianhong had nearly killed him. At this thought, Wang Zhan's expression darkened considerably. Against such a vicious person, there was no longer any need to hold back.
Luo Tianhong smiled. "Alright, stop spouting your useless nonsense at . Don't I know you? You definitely want to join forces with Ju Tian'en to deal with , right?"
"After all, I'm a thorn in your side."
Wang Zhan didn't deny it, rely nodding. "Since you know, then stop your futile resistance. The two of us are serious, and we definitely won't let you off easily."
"Heh..." Luo Tianhong shook her head. "No, no, no. We shouldn't be considered enemies, should we? After all, didn't you also benefit from misfortune? When we were together, wasn't it mutually beneficial? When have I not ensured you gained so advantage?"
"So, generally speaking, we could still be considered pretty good partners."
Wang Zhan sneered. "Partners? Are you joking? You, want to be partners with ? Don't you know that humans and demonic beasts cannot coexist?"
"We are natural enemies. Moreover, you are such a brutal beast, so it's only natural that I should eliminate you at the first opportunity."
After speaking, Wang Zhan imdiately turned to Ju Tian'en beside him and said, "City Lord, how about we join forces and take care of this person first?"
