Clearly, Wang Zhan's tactics had thoroughly shocked the Lion-Tiger Beast. Therefore, it wasn't prepared to waste any more ti.
In a blink, the Lion-Tiger Beast transford into a streak of light, charging at Wang Zhan at high speed. After all, Wang Zhan also had the protection of the Fire Deity Armor, so if it couldn't break through Wang Zhan's defenses, its attacks would naturally be ineffective. Moreover, the Lion-Tiger Beast had been actively surveying its surroundings but hadn't detected Hu Xianfeng's presence anywhere. It was clear to it, however, that there must be a connection between Wang Zhan and Hu Xianfeng. If Hu Xianfeng joined the battlefield, the consequences would surely be dire, as it was no match for him. So, the most urgent task was to end the fight quickly.
In an instant, the Lion-Tiger Beast was already in front of Wang Zhan, who swiftly lifted his Deep Fire Blade and held it before his chest, clashing with the Lion-Tiger Beast.
The Lion-Tiger Beast's expression suddenly changed. Imdiately, an energy ripple spread across the sky, and the spectators watching from behind were blown away by this potent force.
In a short ti, Heaven and Earth changed color, and most of the trees in the entire forest had fallen.
The spectators struggled to their feet, and a clamor arose among them.
"How strong are these two? Such a brief clash has already reached this level of intensity."
"It seems there is a significant gap between them and us. Getting a piece of the pie won't be easy."
"There's no place left for us to hide now. We should leave quickly, lest we get caught in a difficult situation if things escalate."
Even though they all coveted the Deep Fire Blade and the Fire Deity Armor in Wang Zhan's possession, they knew that life was paramount. If they couldn't even preserve their own lives, what was the point of discussing anything else? So, the most pressing matter was to find a way to escape the battlefield.
In the crowd, soone abruptly said, "We've waited this long to snatch the equipnt from his hands. We can't leave now, can we? Wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted?"
Instantly, all eyes focused on Wang Zhan. Clearly, they wanted to assess his condition; if an opportunity arose, they naturally hoped to easily snatch the two pieces of equipnt.
However, Wang Zhan was nowhere to be seen on the battlefield. Not only had he vanished, but even the Lion-Tiger Beast had disappeared.
"What happened? Where are they?"
Everyone was bewildered. They had just seen Wang Zhan and the Lion-Tiger Beast on the battlefield, yet in the blink of an eye, both had vanished. How could this be possible?
One person pointed at a deep pit not too far away and said, "Look here."
Everyone gathered around the edge of the deep pit.
"It seems those two must have fallen in there."
"So what should we do now? Are we going to stay here?"
"Don't forget why we ca here—for his weapons! If we return empty-handed now, wouldn't we have wasted a lot of ti?"
Everyone nodded in agreent.
They all shared similar thoughts; after all, they were Bounty Hunters. If there was no money to be made, why would they waste their ti? Now that Wang Zhan had fallen into the deep pit, his fate unknown, if they went in, they might actually find the Fire Deity Armor and the Deep Fire Blade. Even obtaining one of them would greatly boost their strength.
With this thought, one of them steeled himself, stood up, glanced at the deep pit, and then said through gritted teeth, "I'm going for it! I absolutely must get that equipnt. Besides, I want to improve my own strength too!"
"If any of you want to go down, follow . But if you want to stay here, I won't stop you."
As he spoke, the man plunged directly into the deep pit.
The few people nearby exchanged glances and imdiately began to discuss.
"What should we do? Should we follow him down or continue to stay here?"
"Isn't that nonsense? We can't just waste our ti here for nothing. Besides, we've waited so long precisely to see this kid killed by the Lion-Tiger Beast. The opportunity is here now, and the Lion-Tiger Beast's corpse should also be down there. If we can also get so treasures from the Lion-Tiger Beast, then this trip will have been very profitable."
"Okay, let's go with that plan."
Everyone's eyes lit up. After all, 'humans die for wealth, birds die for food.' Even if there were dangers below, they had to take the risk. Especially if they could obtain Wang Zhan's equipnt, their strength would see a substantial boost. Such benefits far exceeded their imagination.
In no ti, several of them were prepared and ready to enter the deep pit.
But before they could move, a beam of light shot up from below the pit.
And riding that beam of light, the Bounty Hunter who had just descended was violently thrown out.
Everyone's expression turned grim, and they quickly backed away.
The next mont, the man slamd onto the ground, his condition unknown.
Everyone quickly gathered, forming a circle around him.
"What's going on down there? What did you encounter? Why did you suddenly co rushing out?"
"Those two couldn't have both survived, could they?"
"Hurry up and speak, what the hell is going on?"
All eyes were focused on the man lying on the ground.
But the man no longer had the strength to speak.
After several violent coughs that brought up blood, he clutched his chest and managed to utter with great difficulty, "Below... below... below..."
After saying "below" a few tis, he suddenly choked, his breath cut off, and he spoke no more.
Everyone's expression beca even grimr. At this point, no one dared to venture near the deep pit again.
Their strengths were all comparable, yet the man before them had been killed instantly. How could any of them muster the courage to approach the deep pit now?
For a mont, everyone's face was etched with an even deeper gloom.
Just then, a column of light erupted from the deep pit. Soon after, the faint, illusory figures of a man and a demonic beast appeared before them.
"That is..."
All eyes converged on them.
None of them had expected that after such a ferocious clash, Wang Zhan and the Lion-Tiger Beast would erge apparently unscathed. However, they could also see that both the man and the demonic beast appeared to be at the end of their strength.
anwhile, Wang Zhan observed the Lion-Tiger Beast before him, his eyes filled with a cold light. After studying the demonic beast for a long mont, he finally spoke slowly, "Alright, I don't plan to waste any more ti with you. Are you going to end your own life, or do you need
to do it? If I have to act, you'll surely suffer greater pain. So, I advise you to end it yourself. It would be better for everyone that way."
Wang Zhan continued, his eyes narrowed. He certainly wouldn't let the Lion-Tiger Beast off easily. After all, the Lion-Tiger Beast had already entered the ranks of level 9 beasts, and he still needed to temper his System and continuously elevate his cultivation. How could he possibly let such an opportunity go?
The Lion-Tiger Beast's expression grew uglier. It clenched its massive fists and ground its teeth. After glaring at Wang Zhan for a long mont, it snarled, "You despicable human, how dare you be so insolent to ?"
"You want
to kill myself? You must be joking!"
"Besides, it's not yet certain who will erge victorious!"
As it spoke, the Lion-Tiger Beast raised its fist once more. However, a cold smile touched the corners of Wang Zhan's lips. He had already discerned the Lion-Tiger Beast's weakness and had shattered the Golden Armor protecting its chest. Therefore, the Lion-Tiger Beast before him was no longer a threat.
He raised his Deep Fire Blade and then brought it down fiercely. Instantly, several Fire Dragons coiled and rose. The next mont, those Fire Dragons wrapped around the Lion-Tiger Beast. Before it could even react, with a final, desperate roar, the Lion-Tiger Beast gently knelt to the ground and then ceased to breathe.
However, what surprised Wang Zhan was that the System did not relay any ssage, nor was there any fluctuation on the control panel.
Could it be that even a level 9 beast isn't enough to advance my cultivation further?
Wang Zhan frowned slightly. If that's really the case, then it might take so more ti. Naturally, this would require constantly seeking out and clashing with powerful demonic beasts. Only in this way could his cultivation be further enhanced.
However, this clash had also left Wang Zhan considerably injured, and the Fire Deity Kai had vanished. But Wang Zhan understood clearly: this was because his cultivation consumption had been too great, causing the Fire Deity Armor to re-fuse with his body. When he needed it, it would naturally reappear.
The next mont, the eyes of the crowd standing behind Wang Zhan lit up.
One of them exclaid, "It looks like this fellow is also at the end of his tether!"
"Should we seize this chance to finish him off? This is a golden opportunity for us!"
"I think that's an excellent idea."
