After witnessing this scene, warmth swelled in Wang Zhan's heart. He knew that in critical monts, Hu Xianfeng would not just stand aside and watch.
Han Junxiong, who had been by his side all along, quickly approached Wang Zhan, his expression turning visibly distressed. He urgently asked, "How are you doing? Can you still hold on?"
After all, everyone had seen the duel between the two just now. Under such conditions, even they might not have been able to withstand it. This was what they admired most. If it hadn't been Wang Zhan, anyone else would likely have been a cold corpse by now.
Wang Zhan squinted, then smiled and said, "I'm fine."
He was very curious about where Qiu Lingdu's limit lay.
However, what he least expected was that while he himself was apparently on his last legs, Qiu Lingdu still seed to possess the strength to fight. It appeared even Hu Xianfeng was not his match.
Thinking about this, Wang Zhan's gaze once again fell on Hu Xianfeng. If they were going to continue against Qiu Lingdu, it all depended on Hu Xianfeng now. He also wanted to know how far Hu Xianfeng had progressed. Compared to Qiu Lingdu, what was the disparity between them? Of course, based on this, he could also gauge the gap between himself and Hu Xianfeng.
Wang Zhan squinted his eyes and walked step by step towards Hu Xianfeng. In a blink of an eye, he was already beside Hu Xianfeng and Qiu Lingdu.
Han Junxiong, still by his side, quickly grabbed Wang Zhan's arm and urgently said, "Move aside quickly! A big battle is about to begin. Our presence here will only restrict Hu Xianfeng."
Wang Zhan nodded faintly and moved aside.
Standing in the combat circle, Hu Xianfeng slowly rose and glanced at Qiu Lingdu not far away. He then narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I have heard so rumors about you. I have to say, you are indeed a top-tier expert. But I am curious to know just how great the gap is between us."
The next second, a longsword appeared in Hu Xianfeng's hand. Wang Zhan looked over, realizing at a glance that this longsword was anything but ordinary. Moreover, Hu Xianfeng's every move seed capable of stirring up true Heavenly and Earthly Energy, clearly indicating that this longsword was extraordinary.
Wang Zhan squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "I didn't expect the old fellow to still have a trump card up his sleeve. However, it seems he's extrely confident in his ans. As for whether he's more powerful than Qiu Lingdu, we still don't know."
In fact, Wang Zhan couldn't discern their respective strengths. However, Qiu Lingdu had already been worn down by him, and Hu Xianfeng had revealed his weapon, which was far from ordinary. So, if they fought, the outco was uncertain.
Han Junxiong, standing nearby, frowned slightly. "Let's just hope Hu Lao can handle this guy. Otherwise, we will all face an extrely difficult situation. Once Qiu Lingdu enters Kui City, he will pose a serious threat to everyone."
Wang Zhan nodded lightly; he was clearly aware of this. But this couldn't be forced. After all, they still didn't know how formidable Qiu Lingdu's ans were. He had always felt that Qiu Lingdu was enigmatic, as if he hadn't displayed all his ans. Although Qiu Lingdu had lost his Divine Sense, his battle consciousness remained. He could also sense who among them was the most powerful. Qiu Lingdu must have been on guard against Hu Xianfeng all along.
Beside him, Han Junxiong then spoke slowly, "Let's not worry too much for now. If Hu Xianfeng is defeated, should we intervene again?"
Wang Zhan smiled helplessly. "With my current strength, I won't be able to change anything even if I intervene. But I have thought of a good idea."
A slight smile touched Wang Zhan's lips as he spoke, his gaze falling on the old man. "Old fellow, if you can't hold on, you can give
so elixirs so I can regain my strength quickly. Perhaps together, we can deal with this guy. Of course, if you're absolutely confident, then just ignore what I said."
Actually, he knew very well that even if Hu Xianfeng could defeat Qiu Lingdu, he would still need to employ many ans. Even then, the victor would be uncertain.
Hu Xianfeng turned around and glared at Wang Zhan, then said annoyedly, "What ti is it for you to be thinking about such things? Are you only thinking about yourself, brat? Believe it or not, I'll take care of you first."
Wang Zhan just shrugged, showing no fear in his eyes. In fact, anyone could tell that the two of them were just joking around.
Although he had said that, Hu Xianfeng still reached into his robe and pulled out a few elixirs, which he then threw toward Wang Zhan.
Wang Zhan didn't stand on ceremony, directly catching the elixirs. He took a sniff of their elixir fragrance, a slight smile on his lips. No denying it, these things were top-notch. Although he didn't know their functions, just by sniffing them a few tis, his strength had already recovered to a certain extent. It seed Hu Xianfeng's Alchemy had reached a level of perfection. But the more this was so, the more it stirred his heart. This ti, he was determined to master this Art of Alchemy. After all, for him, this was practically a cheat! If he could concoct so elixirs to recover his strength, he would be like an indefatigable war machine, never running out of power, capable of fighting any formidable demonic beast. After all, even the most powerful demonic beasts would eventually tire, but with the replenishnt from elixirs, he could overco this.
However, there was a downside to this. If it were a case of absolute suppression by power, what good would it do, no matter how many elixirs he had to restore his cultivation? The final outco was predictable. For example, when he faced Qiu Lingdu at his peak, he couldn't even force Qiu Lingdu to use his trump card. This already illustrated the gap in their strengths. Even if he recovered to his peak state now, he still wouldn't be a match for Qiu Lingdu.
Standing to the side, Han Junxiong shook his head and frowned. "I didn't expect such good stuff. If I could have one, perhaps my cultivation could recover sowhat." He had been gravely injured; if it weren't for Wang Zhan's tily intervention, he would already be a corpse by now. Although his speed wasn't affected, he was much weaker in combat.
Wang Zhan glanced at him and was about to hand an elixir over to Han Junxiong.
Suddenly, Hu Xianfeng, hovering in mid-air, turned his head to look at the two of them and said sternly, "Those elixirs are just enough for you to restore your own cultivation. If you give one to him, it will be hard for you to return to your peak state. If I can't hold on later, you won't be able to withstand Qiu Lingdu for long either."
Hearing this, Wang Zhan frowned slightly, and his hand stopped.
Han Junxiong, on the side, rely chuckled and said, "In that case, I won't be greedy. After all, even if I return to my peak state, what use would it be? I could be defeated with one move. Better not to waste it."
As they had spent more ti together, Wang Zhan and Han Junxiong's relationship had grown closer. Even though hearing Han Junxiong's words made his heart feel a bit pained, Wang Zhan didn't hesitate and swallowed all the elixirs. After all, Hu Xianfeng's words carried weight. They needed to face the Qiu Lingdu before them, and this was no ti for ceremony.
After taking the elixirs, Wang Zhan felt his cultivation rapidly increasing. He squinted and smiled; the sensation was wonderful.
He patted Han Junxiong's shoulder beside him, then smiled and said, "Don't worry. When Hu Lao and I learn the Art of Alchemy, I'll make so elixirs for you to carry at all tis. As for now, just stay here quietly and watch the fight."
Han Junxiong nodded heavily, his face full of gratitude. eting Wang Zhan might have been the luckiest thing in his life.
The Bounty Hunters standing nearby exchanged glances, disappointnt filling their eyes. How co such good fortune hadn't fallen upon them? They seed to have conveniently forgotten their past actions. However, no one paid them any attention.
With Wang Zhan's energy restored, he swiftly drew his Deep Fire Blade and moved next to Hu Xianfeng, evidently ready to confront Qiu Lingdu once again.
Although the System hadn't completed its evolution, and even his own cultivation hadn't improved significantly, Wang Zhan still perceived one benefit: his combat awareness was constantly improving. This improvent in his combat awareness was also a good thing for him. After all, he definitely couldn't be like Xiang Tian. Although Xiang Tian possessed a certain level of cultivation, he lacked combat experience. This made it difficult for him to display his full strength on the battlefield. He would not only drag down his teammates but could even cause trouble for those around him.
Hu Xianfeng looked at him and chuckled. "I didn't think you'd actually have the guts to swallow all the elixirs, brat. Weren't you afraid I poisoned them?"
