Chapter 1147 - 1145: The Coming Battle

Wang Zhan had already sensed something was wrong long ago, which was why he was able to rush over here at the very first moment.

The demonic beasts before him glanced at Wang Zhan, and the expressions on all their faces turned much uglier. They could all feel that intense intimidation coming off Wang Zhan. Even if everyone present joined forces, they still wouldn’t be a match for Wang Zhan.

After a brief silence, one of the demonic beasts stepped forward. He walked up to Wang Zhan, then frowned slightly and spoke slowly: "Gotta admit, your strength is really terrifying. At the very least, none of us here is your match. But we’ve never offended you, so you shouldn’t bully others just because you’re strong, right?"

A cold smile tugged at Wang Zhan’s lips. He slowly raised the Absolute Heaven’s Sword in his hand, pointing it straight at the demonic beast in front of him, and said coldly, "It’s true you haven’t offended me. But what exactly happened in the fifth war zone? Where did the people who used to live here go? Why has this place turned into a patch of ruins?"

One should know, Wang Zhan had once lived in the fifth war zone for a period of time, so he was extremely familiar with everything here. He remembered that back then he wanted to take the people of the fifth war zone away with him, because there were most demonic beasts here. Even if the people of the fifth war zone kept building up their defenses, they still weren’t a match for this herd of demonic beasts, and every day they had to live in difficult times.

This was what worried Wang Zhan the most.

That only proved that the people of the fifth war zone had deep feelings for this land. Yet now, there wasn’t a single human shadow to be seen here, which meant something earth-shaking had definitely happened, resulting in the current situation.

And now, of course Wang Zhan needed to learn the ins and outs from the mouths of these demonic beasts. If someone really had made a move against the people of the fifth war zone, then even if every last one of them was already dead, Wang Zhan still had to avenge them.

After all, Xiang Tian’s matter had already left Wang Zhan feeling uncomfortable, and he carried a deep sense of guilt toward the people of the fifth war zone. So no matter what, he naturally would not just stand by and watch when it came to the fifth war zone.

The demonic beasts exchanged looks with each other. The demonic beast standing before Wang Zhan gritted his teeth, then spoke slowly: "The rules on the Star War Battlefield are like this. I’m sure you should be very clear on that too. No matter where you go, it’s always a weak-are-meat-for-the-strong situation. We only made a move against the people of the fifth war zone so we could survive. Even if we hadn’t attacked them, they wouldn’t have lasted long here anyway. The result would have been the same."

The other demonic beasts standing behind him all nodded in succession as well. Clearly, they all shared the same attitude.

Wang Zhan frowned slightly. After hearing this, his rage was already burning. He clenched his fists furiously, and the Absolute Heaven’s Sword in his hand blazed with light. Clearly, Wang Zhan was already preparing to make a move on the demonic beasts before him. One should know, how could these demonic beasts possibly be a match for Wang Zhan?

Even if they really started fighting, the ones who’d suffer would definitely be them.

The faces of those demonic beasts turned as ugly as they could possibly get. They wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible and escape Wang Zhan’s clutches, but when they tried to move they discovered that Wang Zhan had already set up a barrier in the area nearby. With their level of cultivation, they simply couldn’t break through that barrier, which meant that right now they could only lie there and wait to be slaughtered...

The moment they thought of this, the demonic beasts went completely crazy, howling non-stop. They had lingered in the fifth war zone for many years. After all, the demonic beasts here weren’t considered that powerful. Even if they entered a higher-level plane, they basically wouldn’t be able to survive, so they could only swallow their pride and stay here.

It hadn’t been easy to wipe out all the people of the fifth war zone. They hadn’t even enjoyed peace for long before a powerhouse like Wang Zhan descended upon them. This was clearly coming for their lives...

Wang Zhan paid them no mind. Just as he was about to make his move, Luo Xue, who had always been standing behind him, suddenly grabbed his hand. She clenched her teeth tightly, then spoke firmly, word by word: "Brother Wang, leave this matter to me. After all, I also had family and friends in the fifth war zone. Now that something like this has suddenly happened here, I can’t just stand by. Even if everyone is already dead, I still have to avenge them. Let this be the last thing I do for them..."

Thinking of what she had on her mind, Luo Xue almost wanted to cry. The people of the fifth war zone had already been wiped out by the demonic beasts, yet when she rushed back, she was still thinking that the people of the fifth war zone might force her to stay. If time could rewind, she would rather hurry back to the fifth war zone. If someone as strong as her had been sitting in town there, Wang Zhan believe these demonic beasts definitely wouldn’t have been able to run wild over those people, and they wouldn’t have faced such a desperate predicament...

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. This really was Luo Xue’s own business. Wang Zhan was indeed quite worried about Luo Xue, but since she had brought it up, he couldn’t say much more. He would leave what came next for Luo Xue to handle. Plus, the demonic beasts before them weren’t that powerful, so even if Luo Xue couldn’t beat them, Wang Zhan could still step in at the very first moment to save Luo Xue from difficult times.

Luo Xue shot Wang Zhan a grateful look, then shifted her gaze onto the demonic beasts in front of her. She spoke slowly: "I think you can all see it. Brother Wang behind me treats me very well, so he’ll agree to all my requests unconditionally. If you want to walk away from here safe and sound, then join forces and defeat me. I really want to see just what kind of strength you losers actually have."

The faces of those demonic beasts changed once again as their gazes locked onto Luo Xue. They were somewhat afraid of Wang Zhan, but deep down they knew that Luo Xue and Wang Zhan couldn’t be mentioned in the same breath. Luo Xue’s strength wasn’t that great either, so they actually stood a chance of taking her down. However...

One of the demonic beasts turned his gaze to Wang Zhan and asked slowly, "Does his word count? If we really join forces and defeat her, will you really let us go?"

The gazes of the other demonic beasts also fell on Wang Zhan. Clearly, they were all waiting for his reply.

Wang Zhan nodded and said, "Relax. If you can really defeat Luo Xue, I’ll follow Luo Xue’s intentions and let you leave, and I absolutely won’t go back on my word."

Excited flames instantly blazed up in the eyes of the demonic beasts. They all surged toward Luo Xue at full speed. This was their only way out, so they had only one thought now—to take down Luo Xue as fast as possible. Only then could they leave here safe and sound!

Wang Zhan stood to the side, holding the Absolute Heaven’s Sword, his gaze fixed firmly on Luo Xue. Even though the demonic beasts in front of him couldn’t be compared to him at all, their combined strength still wasn’t something to be underestimated. On top of that, there was a large distance between Luo Xue and him, so Wang Zhan was genuinely worried whether she could deal with everyone in front of her. But he also knew clearly that Luo Xue was in a state of extreme fury right now, and he believe her strength would definitely rise further.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Xue had already drawn out every bit of her aura, then tangled together with the demonic beasts before her. Amid thunderous explosions, Luo Xue sent several nearby demonic beasts flying. But Wang Zhan knew very well that this alone wasn’t enough, because the true strongest ones among the demonic beasts had been hiding in the back all along. He believe they were waiting for a chance to unleash a lightning strike on Luo Xue. Only by taking her out quickly could they stabilize the battlefield.

Right now Wang Zhan was also caught in a dilemma. If those few really attacked together, he was worried that Luo Xue wouldn’t be their match. If Luo Xue suffered any mishap, he would truly have no face to answer to the people of the fifth war zone.

So no matter what, if Luo Xue really fell into danger, he would still disregard the agreement and rush in at the very first moment.

Within the battle circle, Luo Xue was fighting fiercely with the group, her eyes already blood-red. She had completely grasped the cultivation method passed down to her by the Black Tortoise Venerable, and even the power belonging to the Black Tortoise Venerable had gathered onto her body. This was the most terrifying part.

Coupled with Luo Xue’s astonishing strength, the demonic beasts before her so far hadn’t managed to pose any real threat. The few demonic beasts in the rear were already growing restless, and now they had locked their sights onto Luo Xue, clearly preparing to launch an attack at this moment.

Wang Zhan might not have spoken or rushed in yet, but in his heart he was sweating for Luo Xue. If she got ambushed now, even if she didn’t die she’d be heavily injured. With so many demonic beasts eyeing her like tigers on all sides, Wang Zhan naturally couldn’t help worrying.

Seeing one powerful demonic beast finally make a move, a cold smile appeared at Luo Xue’s lips. She quickly raised her finger and jabbed straight at the beast’s glabella!

She killed that demonic beast with a single strike!
