Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 868: Chapter 866: Turning Against Each Other

Above the sky, there came the sound of rumbling.

Soon after, a multitude of fireballs quickly fell into the entire space.

In just an instant, they exploded with a loud bang.

Beside him, the Sword Spirit slightly squinted its eyes and smiled, looking at Wang Zhan who had already awakened, and then gave Wang Zhan a thumbs up and said directly, "I didn’t expect that in such a short time, you’ve already merged both sets of formation techniques."

"Surely, at this moment, you should be able to feel your combat power rising rapidly, right?"

Wang Zhan nodded.

Although his cultivation hadn’t changed much, with the support of the Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation, his combat power indeed doubled.

If he encountered Huo Yuan again, he might even have the power to fight.

After all, Wang Zhan has always fought beyond his rank, he’s long used to it.

Moreover, only by doing so can he continually enhance his cultivation.

Wang Zhan walked to the Sword Spirit’s side, saying, "If it weren’t for your help, how could I master this sword formation? In the end, you really are my lucky star."

"No."

The Sword Spirit quickly shook its head and said, "That’s a wrong statement."

"If it weren’t for the master, I’m afraid I’d still be within the Great Void Divine Sword, never to be awakened by anyone, and never have the chance to see this world again."

While speaking, the Sword Spirit’s gaze fell onto the Fire Qilin Cub, pointing at the Fire Qilin and smiling as it said, "The master should take more care of this Fire Qilin. If it weren’t for him, we might have been killed by the Ice Divine Beast, so he provided us with significant assistance."

"This little guy should take the top credit."

Upon hearing this, the Fire Qilin Cub immediately began bouncing around, obviously extremely happy.

Seeing its demeanor, Wang Zhan helplessly shook his head, walked to its side, touched its small head, and then smiled, "Even though you are a Divine Beast, don’t you have some basic cultivation as a Divine Beast?"

"With just a couple of compliments, have you already lost yourself?"

"If you get proud so easily, I’m really worried you might be abducted by someone else."

"After all, I’m not very good at sweet-talking, but those guys out there are all very eloquent."

Upon hearing this, the Fire Qilin Cub threw itself into Wang Zhan’s embrace, rubbing against his chest.

Seeing its demeanor, the Sword Spirit beside them smiled and shook its head, saying, "This little guy is showing loyalty to you."

Wang Zhan shook his head.

He glanced into the distance, then smiled and said, "Now that the matters here are resolved and I’ve mastered the Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation, let’s leave this place."

The Sword Spirit nodded.

She smiled and said, "Surely those two guys outside must be getting anxious by now."

How could Wang Zhan not understand this?

After all, he knows Xiang Tian and Xuan Yu better than anyone else.

This time, Xuan Yu left first again, and he was even worried that Xiang Tian and Xuan Yu might clash severely again...

In such a back-and-forth situation, he wouldn’t feel comfortable staying in the Profound Ice Pavilion.

Besides, Wang Zhan only considered this place a temporary refuge and wasn’t planning to stay in the Profound Ice Pavilion forever.

If he hadn’t been at odds with the people from Skyfire Mountain upon arriving here, how could he possibly be seeking shelter under others?

But it’s also a good thing, as it allowed him to gain knowledge and provide some experience for establishing his own Star Domain.

In a blink, Wang Zhan placed the Fire Qilin Cub in his embrace and then headed outside with the Sword Spirit.

However, upon stepping out of the Eight Directions Mysterious Ice Tower, he didn’t see Xiang Tian and Xuan Yu.

For a moment, Wang Zhan’s expression showed doubt.

After all, he understands Xiang Tian and Xuan Yu’s personalities well; how could they leave easily before seeing him?

Could it be...

In an instant, Wang Zhan’s face turned much graver. freёwebnovel.com

He glanced at the Sword Spirit beside him, then spoke slowly, "Could it be that something has happened to them?"

If the two of them are too stubborn, Xuan Yu will surely find it challenging to cope.

Moreover, Wang Zhan is well aware of one thing: Qiu Yinshan protects him because he values his strength, but it’s unrelated to Xiang Tian and his partner.

If Xiang Tian and his partner threaten the existence of Profound Ice Pavilion or cause a disturbance, Qiu Yinshan certainly won’t ignore them.

Thinking about this, Wang Zhan’s expression unconsciously turned much gloomier.

In an instant, several figures walked toward Wang Zhan.

Standing at the forefront was Qiu Yinshan; he slightly squinted his eyes, smiling as he approached Wang Zhan and said, "I didn’t expect your ability to be so formidable. Even Ice Divine Beast couldn’t be your match."

"I’m sure Xuan Yu already told you, even the Domain Lord failed to kill Ice Divine Beast at once. Unexpectedly, you secured victory swiftly, which is indeed surprising."

However, Xuan Yu standing aside remained silent throughout.

Wang Zhan turned his gaze, glanced at Xuan Yu, then approached Qiu Yinshan, and straightforwardly said, "Do you know where my two friends are?"

"Your friends have already been settled by me; you need not worry about that."

Qiu Yinshan’s lips continually held a faint smile.

"Now, let’s discuss some important matters. Once everything is resolved satisfactorily, I’ll let you meet your two friends, and believe me, you won’t be disappointed."

Wang Zhan frowned slightly, suddenly sensing an ominous foreboding.

"I don’t fancy beating around the bush; just get to the point."

Wang Zhan straightforwardly inquired.

Qiu Yinshan, with a smile, replied, "Since you’re straightforward, I won’t play games. Actually, it’s quite simple..."

"Since you’ve resolved Ice Divine Beast, its Demon Core should have fallen into your hands, which is greatly beneficial to us in Profound Ice Pavilion. So, if you could return it, that would be best."

"Of course, we won’t let you battle Ice Divine Beast for nothing. In our Profound Ice Pavilion, there’s a great place filled with countless treasures and divine weapons, and various magical techniques. If you’re willing to hand over the Demon Core, you can freely choose from them."

At this moment, Wang Zhan suddenly comprehended that Qiu Yinshan’s only aim was Ice Divine Beast’s Demon Core.

However, the item had already been absorbed by Sword Spirit, and even if Sword Spirit hadn’t taken it, he certainly wouldn’t hand it over to those present.

After all, Wang Zhan least liked being threatened, and Qiu Yinshan is indeed threatening him.

Seeing Wang Zhan remain silent, Xuan Yu on the side frowned slightly and noticed the killing intent in Qiu Yinshan’s eyes. He quickly moved to Wang Zhan’s side and whispered, "Brother Wang."

"We’ve experienced many life-and-death battles, and I’ve long regarded you as my comrade; so, at any moment, I’ll surely think of you."

"You’re not a match for Qiu Yinshan; therefore, it’s better if you hand over the Demon Core."

"This benefits us all, and you’ll be able to access Treasure Pavilion as well, where you’ll find whatever you desire; why not?"

"Believe me, within Treasure Pavilion, there are many unexpected things, far more valuable than Ice Divine Beast’s Demon Core."

Ha...

Wang Zhan’s lips curled into a cold smile; he ignored Xuan Yu’s words and instead grabbed Xuan Yu’s collar, glaring as he shouted, "I just want to know one thing, are Xiang Tian and his partner okay?"

Xuan Yu hastily gestured, saying, "This you can completely trust me on. I pledge on my life they are safe, and as long as you hand over the Demon Core, Qiu Yinshan definitely won’t harm them, and you can continue to stay in Profound Ice Pavilion."

"Moreover, you could enter Treasure Pavilion..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan shoved Xuan Yu aside, walked to Qiu Yinshan, shrugged, and shook his head, saying, "I’m truly sorry, while inside, I completely absorbed the Demon Core, so even if I wanted to give it to you, it’s impossible."

"As for your Treasure Pavilion, I’m not very interested; if Profound Ice Pavilion won’t accommodate us brothers, we’ll leave now, but you need to return my two friends."

Qiu Yinshan’s lips twitched slightly.

The Demon Core of Ice Divine Beast not only helps enhance cultivation but also forges divine weapons. But who would’ve thought Wang Zhan absorbed it?

Thinking about this, Qiu Yinshan’s eyes turned blood-red instantly; he abruptly raised his hand, gripping Wang Zhan’s shoulder, and coldly said, "You damned bastard..."

"Do you realize the significance of the Demon Core to us?"

"Although you’ve refined it, do you think I’m helpless?"

"Just by killing and refining you, I suppose I can retrieve the Demon Core from your body again."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yu’s face turned gloomy; he hurriedly moved to Qiu Yinshan’s side, and urgently said, "We can’t act that way."

"If it weren’t for Wang Zhan’s help, we wouldn’t have been able to kill Skyfire Venerable!"
