Chapter 1258: There's Still a Trump Card

“Give me some time, and I’ll break the formation soon!”

Although Ling Ruo was the weakest among them, and also a woman, she was incredibly bold.

Even when facing Li Yuan Yi, there wasn’t the slightest trace of worry on her face.

It seemed that because of Wang Zhan’s presence, she suddenly felt a surge of confidence, and she also wanted to escape her previous lifestyle as soon as possible.

She felt like she had been a fool before, trapped in the Elixir Valley, without achieving anything at all.

Wang Zhan soared into the air and quickly engaged one of the Armored Men in combat, then glanced at Ling Ruo and said with a smile, “Don’t put so much pressure on yourself, no matter what happens, always ensure your safety first!”

“Once you’ve broken through the formation in front of us, I’ll let you enter the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower quickly, so you won’t have to continue taking risks!”

Ling Ruo nodded in agreement beside him.

As a loud boom echoed from the sky, Wang Zhan saw the Soul-Guardian Beast and Li Yuan Yi already engaged in battle.

This was a truly peak confrontation.

After consuming the mysterious fruit, the overall strength of the Soul-Guardian Beast improved, and even its physical strength increased, so it had its own thoughts—it could stand up to Li Yuan Yi with its body, even if it wasn’t his match!

Even if the final result was unsatisfactory, at most, it would only suffer serious injuries and wouldn’t lose its life.

With the existence of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, it could enter the tower to heal without worrying about anyone ambushing it.

The Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower was indeed a good place.

The Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin quickly arrived in front of Wang Zhan, helping to ease his burden.

After all, Wang Zhan’s strength was evident. Although compared to those around him, he had a sense of superiority, and his strength was extremely formidable, the strength of the Sword Spirit and others surpassed his, so how could they watch him risk his life?

Wang Zhan shook his head, his eyes on Fire Qilin, and said directly, “Let Sword Spirit help me tackle one of the Armored Men. As for the other, leave it to me! I’ve already faced them before; these guys, though incredibly tough, cannot kill me in a short time!”

“If two Armored Men are like this, what more one?”

“The priority is for you to use your physical advantage to team up with the Soul-Guardian Beast and suppress Li Yuan Yi as much as possible, that’s the best plan!”

Wang Zhan hurriedly suggested.

His arrangement naturally had its own reasoning.

Between Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit, their strengths were maybe about the same.

However, Fire Qilin had certain superior conditions, being of Divine Beast Constitution, making it stronger than Sword Spirit. In such a passive situation, Fire Qilin could naturally hold on longer.

So Wang Zhan didn’t want Sword Spirit taking the risk.

It was better to let Fire Qilin handle the current situation.

Fire Qilin didn’t hesitate at all. Although Li Yuan Yi was an extremely tricky existence, since Wang Zhan had arranged things this way, it didn’t plan to retreat, especially with the Soul-Guardian Beast helping, it didn’t concern itself too much.

In an instant, Fire Qilin and the Soul-Guardian Beast had teamed up, constantly pressuring Li Yuan Yi.

Actually, even the Soul-Guardian Beast alone could hold Li Yuan Yi, as Li Yuan Yi had his own trump card and unknown plans.

But the Soul-Guardian Beast fought fiercely, clashing head-on with Li Yuan Yi, not worried about getting injured.

Fire Qilin was the same.

So together, they could completely restrain Li Yuan Yi.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhan and Sword Spirit aimed to quickly deal with the Armored Men during this time.

Then cooperate with Ling Ruo to quickly crack the formation, ensuring their safe escape, and start their journey to Sky Pavilion!

As long as they could make it back Inside the Sky Pavilion, they would be considered victorious.

“Ten Thousand Lightning Formation!”

Wang Zhan roared, and lightning serpents appeared in the sky, quickly surrounded them completely.

As the lightning serpents appeared, the lightning seemed to have eyes, continuously attacking the two Armored Men!

Taking advantage of this, Sword Spirit also launched a surprise attack on the Armored Men.

“These two guys’ physical resilience far exceeds our expectations, they can even withstand my attacks!”

“And just now I relentlessly attacked them, without leaving any marks on their bodies, showing their terrifying power!”

“So you must be careful, don’t get ambushed by them, or things will get more complicated!”

If Wang Zhan were injured, no one could continue to control the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower.

Although there were ways to bring people out of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, they couldn’t enter it themselves.

But now, the most important thing is, if they can’t match Li Yuan Yi, they need to revert to their previous plan.

That is, to hide directly inside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower. Although being called a coward is unpleasant, it’s the only option at hand.

Wang Zhan tightly clenched his fist, then smiled and said, “Don’t worry, the physical strength and resilience of these two guys are much stronger than us, and they don’t feel any pain. That’s why they have always been invincible. But for us, there’s an advantage — they don’t have subjective consciousness, allowing us to use the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation to constantly deplete them!”

Though setting up the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation would greatly consume Wang Zhan’s energy, he only needed to deal with the two Armored Men in front of him. As for everything else, the Soul Guarding Beast could handle it, so he didn’t need to hold anything back.

The Sword Spirit nodded in agreement, having already noticed this point.

The two guys did have some clever means, but their lack of subjective consciousness worked in their favor.

In an instant, Wang Zhan soared into the air, quickly raising the Absolute Heaven’s Sword in his hand and fiercely slashing at the two Armored Men before him!

As a sword light descended, the two Armored Men were struck heavily once more!

But they only staggered back a few steps; nothing changed, and they even became faster.

Wang Zhan used lightning to continuously dodge their attacks, since these two Armored Men still had to contend with the lightning ahead, and once struck by it, their speed and strength would be affected!

Wang Zhan could just use this!

Simultaneously contending with the two of them.

“Break!”

Suddenly, a low shout came from beside Wang Zhan and his companion.

They saw the formation around them explode suddenly, and the scene brightened their eyes.

Now that the formation controlling them was broken, if they could temporarily repel Li Yuan Yi or find a way to block him for a moment, they could successfully escape back to the Sky Pavilion.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on his companions, and he immediately said, “Ling Ruo has broken the formation. We can leave immediately. Quickly disperse; let me deal with Li Yuan Yi!”

Wang Zhan spoke directly.

This shocked not only the two Soul Guarding Beasts but even widened Li Yuan Yi’s eyes.

But Li Yuan Yi knew in his heart that Ling Ruo had a strong talent in formations, so breaking the formation wasn’t difficult for him.

It was only a matter of time.

But what he didn’t expect was that Wang Zhan dared to stand up at this time and even wanted to contend with him.

It was simply a joke!

There was a huge gap in strength between him and Wang Zhan. Even if Wang Zhan borrowed some abilities, he wouldn’t be his match.

It was like using an egg to hit a stone.

“Do you intend to use your body to buy time for their escape?”

“Let me advise you, even if you choose to self-destruct, you won’t stop my steps!”

“The gap between you and me is far beyond what you can imagine, and that difference is terrifyingly immense!”

Li Yuan Yi spoke each word firmly.

His eyes were full of disdain.

Clearly not seeing Wang Zhan as a threat.

But Wang Zhan snorted coldly through his nose, then said, “There’s no need for such arrogance before me. Don’t think you’re invincible. The fact that I’m daring to take you on means I have my trump card!”

“Moreover, fortunes change with time. One day I’ll make you pay for today’s ignorance!”

This moment, Wang Zhan decided not to hold back any longer.

He suddenly remembered he still had a trump card — a treasure acquired once inside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower!

In his hand appeared two black beads, and in an instant, Wang Zhan quickly threw them out!

He had already alerted the Soul Guarding Beast and the Fire Qilin, who quickly moved behind him.

“Just two mere beads, do you think they can harm me?”

“This is utter nonsense!”

“Today I’ll show you that your so-called trump card is worthless to me!”

As Li Yuan Yi sneered, a loud noise suddenly erupted nearby.

Wang Zhan then shouted to his companions, “Run!”
