Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 867: Chapter 865: Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation

"Who would have thought that this little guy actually saved our lives?"

Xuan Bing crossed his arms, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

However, Wang Zhan shook his head, "It’s still uncertain whether he can suppress this Ice Divine Beast."

"After all, the Ice Divine Beast has lived for millions of years, its power long surpassing Star System level."

"But this Fire Qilin is merely a cub; how could it possibly contend with an adult Ice Divine Beast?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Bing’s face was covered with a layer of gray veil.

The Sword Spirit chimed in, "Things might not be that bad yet; we should first see how it plays out."

In the blink of an eye, the Fire Qilin and Ice Divine Beast were entangled in battle.

Although the Fire Qilin was a cub, it still possessed extremely formidable strength.

Moreover, the fire attribute inherently restrained the ice attribute, and in an instant, the Ice Divine Beast was already at a disadvantage.

After hundreds of rounds, the Fire Qilin had completely suppressed the Ice Divine Beast.

Wang Zhan watched the dispirited Ice Divine Beast, a nearly perfect arc forming at the corner of his mouth, then suddenly soared into the sky, casually grabbing the Great Void Divine Sword and thrusting it toward the chest of the Ice Divine Beast.

All of the Ice Divine Beast’s attention was focused on the Fire Qilin, with no notice of Wang Zhan’s sneak attack.

In a mere instant, Wang Zhan’s sword had already pierced through the Ice Divine Beast’s chest.

Standing by, Xuan Bing clenched his fist and gritted his teeth as he spoke, "Who would’ve thought, you brat actually have so many trump cards, even the Domain Master isn’t a match for the Ice Divine Beast, yet you managed to destroy it?"

Wang Zhan ignored him, quickly retrieving the Demon Core from the Ice Divine Beast’s body before smiling at the Sword Spirit.

The Sword Spirit swiftly approached his side, full of gratitude.

The reason Wang Zhan did this was simply for her.

He nearly lost his life this time.

After glancing at the Sword Spirit, Wang Zhan spoke, "Don’t waste any time, hurry and absorb the Demon Core, recover to peak condition quickly. With you here, even if encountering Huo Yuan, I won’t have the slightest worry. You’re one of my hidden trump cards."

Although the Ice Divine Beast’s Demon Core is a good thing, beneficial to anyone and even capable of forging divine weapons and tools, Wang Zhan showed no hesitation in his eyes and cheerfully handed it to the Sword Spirit.

The Sword Spirit didn’t hesitate either and promptly began refining the Ice Divine Beast’s Demon Core.

She’s now fused with Wang Zhan; her strength increases, proving Wang Zhan’s overall combat power would also rise.

Standing by, Xuan Bing swiftly walked to Wang Zhan’s side and asked, "The Demon Core?"

Wang Zhan laughed and said, "It’s already been absorbed by me."

"So quickly?"

Xuan Bing’s eyes widened.

Even the Domain Master couldn’t achieve this, right?

Wang Zhan pointed to the Great Void Divine Sword in his hand and said, "This sword can absorb Genius Earth Treasures, and when your weapon broke, didn’t it automatically absorb them?"

"So, at the moment the Demon Core appeared, it was absorbed completely."

Recalling the scene just witnessed, Xuan Bing nodded without the slightest doubt.

Furthermore, without Wang Zhan, he couldn’t stand here unharmed right now; hence, such spoils of war naturally ought to go to Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan lazily stretched and smiled while looking at the vanished corpse of the Ice Divine Beast, "Since everything is resolved, let’s not waste more time here; it’s better to leave first."

The Eight Directions Mysterious Ice Tower is full of oddities, and Wang Zhan was somewhat worried.

Just as he was about to leave, the sound of the Sword Spirit suddenly came to his ear.

"Don’t go; I can sense there’s something better here."

Wang Zhan was taken aback and quickly communicated with the Sword Spirit, "What?"

"That feeling is extremely vague, probably hidden by someone’s spell to conceal its aura, but trust me, my feelings are definitely correct."

The Sword Spirit spoke firmly.

Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit had long been of one mind, and he naturally understood that whatever she did, the Sword Spirit is certainly on his side.

Thinking of these things, Wang Zhan directly said, "Alright, then let’s go back inside and take another look, but..."

His tone shifted, eyes growing serious.

"There wouldn’t be another troublesome creature like the Ice Divine Beast in there, would there?"

Remembering the previous battle, even Wang Zhan was somewhat concerned.

And having gone through the recent battle, the experience of killing the Ice Divine Beast didn’t fall on him, nor did the system prompt an increase in cultivation; most frustratingly, he almost lost his life...

Yet luckily, at least the Sword Spirit recovered substantially, making the trip worthwhile.

The Sword Spirit hesitated for a moment. She slightly closed her eyes, and after carefully sensing for a while, she shook her head and said, "The most powerful here is the Ice Divine Beast. I suppose that over the years, the Ice Divine Beast has likely extinguished all life within the Eight Directions Mysterious Ice Tower, which actually provides us with convenience."

"So, as long as we can find the thing I’m sensing, and then break the barrier, we should be able to obtain it directly."

However, the barrier set by the opponent is excessively formidable. Even the Sword Spirit can’t ascertain the outline of that object.

Wang Zhan smiled wryly, seeking wealth amid danger, and he certainly wouldn’t retreat in the slightest.

Xuan Bing saw Wang Zhan stop and immediately asked, "Brother Wang, are you planning to cultivate here for a while?"

There’s no denying that the Spiritual Energy here is much more abundant than outside, but Wang Zhan didn’t have the leisure for this.

Wang Zhan glanced at Xuan Bing and then walked to his side, patting his shoulder as he laughed and said, "Indeed, I want to go in and enhance my cultivation. So, you should leave here first."

"Just as well, when you go out, take Xiang Tian and the others and withdraw from here together."

Xuan Bing nodded without much thought.

In the blink of an eye, the two had parted ways, heading in opposite directions.

Wang Zhan moved with extreme speed, and now unobstructed, he could traverse unhindered.

Wang Zhan took out the Fire Qilin from his bosom, and then smiled as he said, "Didn’t expect that you’d save my life this time, little one. Tell me, what reward do you want, little one?"

The Fire Qilin seemed to understand Wang Zhan’s words, licking Wang Zhan’s palm with its tongue, then rubbed its head against Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan looked at the Sword Spirit with a face full of confusion, clearly uncertain about how to communicate with the Fire Qilin.

The Sword Spirit smiled and said, "This little guy means that just being by your side is enough; there’s no need for a reward."

Wang Zhan helplessly shook his head; he truly was fortunate... freewebnσvel.cѳm

The Sword Spirit once again spoke up, "I can feel that we are getting closer to that object, but something here seems to be hindering my sensing ability..."

"You mean there’s an expert here?"

Wang Zhan’s gaze gradually turned cold.

His expression was full of alertness.

The Sword Spirit said solemnly, "Even if there are experts, we aren’t afraid. After all, my strength has been restored, and with you by my side, I don’t need to worry about anything."

"But once you use that sword formation, you’ll fall into a period of weakness. What should I do then?"

Thinking of these things gave Wang Zhan a bit of a headache.

Although the sword formation is extraordinarily powerful, its side effects are excessively strong.

The Sword Spirit laughed and shook her head, saying, "Last time, it was only because my Soul Power hadn’t recovered, and coupled with the excessive expenditure of Soul Power over this period, I couldn’t wholeheartedly use the Ten Thousand Spirit Sword Formation."

"And once the Ten Thousand Spirit Sword Formation is utilized, it depletes the foundations. But through the Demon Core of the Ice Divine Beast, I have fully recovered. This situation won’t happen again."

"But..."

Speaking while displaying a faint smile, the Sword Spirit said, "I could also teach you the Ten Thousand Spirit Sword Formation."

"This way, you won’t need to expend my mental energy, and you can freely use the Ten Thousand Spirit Sword Formation."

"Moreover, I think you can improve the Ten Thousand Spirit Sword Formation and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation together; if the two can integrate, their power would become even more terrifying."

Wang Zhan nodded heavily, then squinted and smiled, "Really?"

"How could I deceive you?"

The Sword Spirit continued, "Now slowly close your eyes; I’ll impart the essence of the Ten Thousand Spirit Sword Formation to you. Integrating the formations entirely depends on your own Talent."

Wang Zhan nodded; he was exceptionally Talented in this regard, so he wasn’t worried about this.

As time ticked by, Wang Zhan quickly grasped the essence of the Ten Thousand Spirit Sword Formation.

Then Wang Zhan was seen sitting cross-legged, a faint smile on his lips, already starting to integrate the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation with the Ten Thousand Spirit Sword Formation in his mind.

The Fire Qilin did not enter into a slumber but continuously paced around Wang Zhan.

Clearly providing protection for Wang Zhan.

As for the Sword Spirit, she naturally helped to stabilize the situation for Wang Zhan.

With such a person and beast present, Wang Zhan could rest easy.

An hour, two hours...

...

Unsure how much time passed before Wang Zhan slowly opened his eyes. As he swiftly raised the Great Void Divine Sword in his hand, he quietly roared, "Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation!"

In the next second, a series of longswords glowing red fell from the sky.

Grand and majestic!
