Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 959 - 957: Ruins

Wang Zhan slowly stood up, glanced at the two people beside him, and then showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. He shook his head and spoke softly, "Nothing serious.""But if we don’t quickly deal with this troublesome guy, we’ll probably be in trouble..."

This was indeed not a joke from Wang Zhan.

Li Du understood this very well. After biting his lip, he spoke, "I see you’re planning to attack that ruby, right? Now that the Fire Qilin is pulling him from the front, I’ll join you in striking soon. We’ll attack it from the left and right."

"I don’t believe this guy could possibly have three heads and six arms!"

"I believe it won’t be long before we can smash that ruby!"

Wang Zhan nodded heavily. If Li Du assisted him, the task would indeed become much easier.

In an instant, Wang Zhan’s expression became much more solemn, and he quickly picked up the Great Void Divine Sword in his hand again, charging towards the saber once more.

Li Du didn’t hesitate either, swiftly rushing forward.

Only Xiang Tian stood quietly on the side, biting his teeth hard, his face becoming quite unsightly.

He remained on the side all along, yet couldn’t help Wang Zhan and Li Du.

So what was the meaning of staying here?

He followed Wang Zhan to become his helper, not a burden.

After understanding these, Xiang Tian gritted his teeth hard and then circled behind the Sword Spirit, clearly ready to strike at any time.

In an instant, Wang Zhan and Li Du had reached the Sword Spirit’s side again.

But now the situation was far more troublesome than before.

After all, Wang Zhan’s initial strike missed, and the Sword Spirit had already become fully prepared.

At the moment Wang Zhan and Li Du attacked, the Sword Spirit saw through their intentions.

A flash of blade light fell, and both of them retreated in distress.

The Fire Qilin at the front didn’t place too much pressure on the Sword Spirit.

After all, there was still a gap between him and the Sword Spirit, plus the Sword Spirit’s presence here provided some advantage, so the Fire Qilin couldn’t suppress it in a short time.

Seeing that all three had retreated.

The Sword Spirit stood arrogantly in the air, raising the knife in his hand. He looked disdainfully at Wang Zhan and his group and then spoke calmly, "A bunch of useless losers, since you’re seeking death, don’t blame me!"

Before Wang Zhan and his group could react, the blade light fell again.

At this moment, everyone suddenly felt a pressure.

And just as the Sword Spirit prepared for a deadly strike against Wang Zhan and his group, a silhouette suddenly appeared behind him, rapidly reaching his front.

Only then did the Sword Spirit notice Xiang Tian behind him, whom he had never taken seriously.

After all, Xiang Tian’s strength was too weak. The Sword Spirit only needed to move his finger to kill Xiang Tian directly.

But unexpectedly, this guy he ignored had reached his side.

With a reverse swing of the blade, the Sword Spirit directly slashed at Xiang Tian’s chest.

Blood flowed from Xiang Tian’s chest slowly.

But Xiang Tian didn’t retreat. Instead, he lifted his fist with all his might and punched the ruby. In the next second, a loud bang sounded in everyone’s ears.

Then, the ruby shattered on cue.

As the ruby shattered, the patterns on the Demon Saber constantly shook, and soon, the Demon Saber exploded.

The Sword Spirit also fell to the ground, losing all his previous momentum.

Wang Zhan snorted coldly with his nose, showing a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, quickly picking up the Great Void Divine Sword. He needed to take this opportunity to kill the Sword Spirit immediately; only then could they find a way out!

The next second, Wang Zhan’s sword had pierced through the Sword Spirit’s heart.

The Sword Spirit kneeled to the ground, never expecting he would fail...

In an instant, arrogance dispersed into thin air.

And the Demon Saber had also become fragments.

Things had somewhat returned to peace.

Wang Zhan quickly went to Xiang Tian’s side, helped him up, and checked his body. Seeing Xiang Tian’s bloody wound on his chest, his face turned pale and grim.

"Damn, how could the injury be so severe?"

Xiang Tian showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, then spoke to himself, "I’ve always stood behind you, not dragging you back but always seeking your protection."

"This time, though heavily injured, I’ve finally done something for you, and my heart feels slightly better..."

Seeing his appearance, Wang Zhan couldn’t bear it.

He quickly took out a handful of elixirs from his chest and directly stuffed them into Xiang Tian’s mouth.

Xiang Tian, without any hesitation, quickly swallowed all those elixirs.

Moments later, Xiang Tian was seen closing his eyes heavily.

Looking at him in this state, Wang Zhan slightly frowned.

"What should we do?"

At this moment, Xiang Tian was already seriously injured and had no way to continue following them into the depths of the ruins.

But Wang Zhan naturally wouldn’t stay here all the time; instead of doing that, it would be better for Xiang Tian to leave directly.

Moreover, the gate of the ruins was already open, and the people who planned to compete with them for the Divine Heart were also cleared by the artifact spirit just now, which was of great benefit to them.

He and Li Du could act as if the place was unguarded and head straight to search for the Divine Heart.

If they were fortunate, they might be able to claim the Divine Heart directly.

The Fire Qilin beside them then approached Wang Zhan; after glancing at Xiang Tian who was lying on the ground, it lightly spoke, "Perhaps the two of you can go ahead to find the Divine Heart, and leave this situation to me. I will take care of this guy and wait until you come out safely."

Wang Zhan was full of gratitude. He patted the Fire Qilin on the back and said, "Then I’ll leave the next matters to you, and we’ll try to return quickly."

"If Xiang Tian’s condition worsens, then take him back to the Sky Pavilion first. After all, there are many people there, and they shouldn’t let anything happen to Xiang Tian."

The Fire Qilin nodded.

Soon, Wang Zhan had arranged everything, and in the blink of an eye, together with Li Du, he headed into the distance.

At that moment,

A voice from the Sword Spirit echoed in Wang Zhan’s mind, "Now that you’ve left the Fire Qilin outside, if it comes to competing for the Divine Heart, what will you do if this guy fights with you?"

Earlier, Wang Zhan had indeed not held back and directly acted against the artifact spirit, his exhaustion was far greater than Li Du’s.

Although Wang Zhan had taken the elixir earlier, it was impossible for him to recover to his peak state in such a short time.

So if Li Du insisted on acting, Wang Zhan and him would naturally need to fight.

This would put Wang Zhan at a disadvantage.

After all, his trump cards were already used up.

But he couldn’t just hand over the Divine Heart to others.

Wang Zhan slightly frowned, he had only wanted to quickly deal with the artifact spirit and hadn’t thought about other issues.

But hearing the Sword Spirit’s statement, his expression darkened considerably.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan began to communicate with the Sword Spirit.

"The Fire Qilin is indeed one of my trump cards, but aren’t you also one of my trump cards?"

"So there’s no need to worry too much. If it really comes to that, you and I together might still be able to fight him."

Even though Li Du had made a move, he hadn’t used his trump cards.

Moreover, the Sword Spirit had long noticed that within Li Du’s staff, there was also an enigmatic artifact spirit.

This was, to say the least, not good news for them.

What’s more important, Li Du’s power was quite terrifying; if it really came to that, even if Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit joined forces, they might not gain any advantage.

Yet, now that the two of them had already entered inside, they couldn’t think too much about it.

They had to temporarily focus on resolving the current situation.

In a flash, Wang Zhan and Li Du entered the depths of the ruins.

What they never anticipated was that the depths of these ruins weren’t a palace but a place more akin to ruins.

Li Du, unaware of Wang Zhan’s thoughts, walked beside him, crossed his arms, and said slowly, "Judging by the looks, this seemed to have been a training room, but the person who trained here must have gone berserk, causing this place to end up in such a state."

"It’s really unfathomable to imagine how powerful that person must have been to cause such destruction in this area."

As far as the eye could see, the surroundings had completely deteriorated into ruins.

But from the tiles on the ground, one could still make out the past glory of this place.

Wang Zhan spoke calmly, "Never mind that for now, this should be the deepest part of the ruins. The person who trained here was most likely the owner of these ruins, which means he likely perished here."

"Let’s search around carefully and see if we can find the Divine Heart."

"If we can find the Divine Heart, that’s best; if not, we should leave early."

Wang Zhan was still worried about Xiang Tian.

Since he brought Xiang Tian out, he naturally had to ensure his safety and take him back unharmed.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain to the people inside the Sky Pavilion.

Li Du nodded heavily, "Alright!"
