Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 957 - 955: Weapon Spirit

The Sword Spirit was also hesitating for a moment, "If it’s really impossible, we should leave first. Even if the Demon Saber appears, it won’t have a big impact on us.""Moreover, it’s very difficult for the people here to walk out of the ruins unscathed. After all, they have all been controlled by the Inner Demon and will soon become complete slaves to the Demon Saber."

"I can sense that this Demon Saber doesn’t seem to have any intention of leaving and is attached to the ruins."

Wang Zhan slightly frowned. To be honest, he really didn’t want to give up the Demon Saber just like that.

In his heart, he still had the plan to directly destroy the Demon Saber.

But considering it now, to destroy the Demon Saber, they would first have to deal with these people in front of them. Since these people have been controlled, they would be fearless. In a confrontation, they wouldn’t care about their own situation and would use all their trump cards. It’s fine to deal with a few people, but there are too many in front...

Once they engage, it’s likely that all three of them would remain here forever.

After considering the pros and cons, Wang Zhan didn’t waste any more time. He glanced at Li Du and the others beside him and immediately instructed, "I guess we can’t continue to move inward now. Anyway, the ruins have already opened, and these people have gone mad. We don’t need to worry too much."

"Wait until later to come in and search for the Divine Heart. What do you think?"

Of course, Wang Zhan was seeking Li Du’s opinion.

Indeed, no matter the decision Wang Zhan makes, Xiang Tian wouldn’t refuse.

Li Du, standing nearby, also frowned slightly. They had gone through great hardships to reach this point. If they were to leave now, it would be somewhat unsatisfactory. But the situation is as it is, what else can be done?

After hesitating for a moment, Li Du nodded heavily and, gritting his teeth, said, "Since the situation has reached this point, there’s really no need for us to stay here any longer. Let’s leave immediately."

After reaching a consensus, Wang Zhan nodded heavily and grabbed Xiang Tian’s arm, quickly preparing to head outside the ruins.

But to Wang Zhan’s utmost surprise, the Demon Saber suddenly rose slowly from the ground and arrogantly stood in mid-air.

Upon seeing this scene, Wang Zhan was full of doubt. He had no idea what was going on.

How could a saber have its own subjective actions?

"Not good."

The voice of the Sword Spirit rang out again in Wang Zhan’s mind, and he quickly said, "There’s a Soul Body on the Demon Saber. I can sense that its power is extremely terrifying. Although it’s currently insufficient, at only one-tenth of its physical form’s strength, it should still be beyond your combined abilities."

"Moreover, it seems he’s already set his sights on you, intending to kill. He definitely won’t let you leave easily."

"In that case, we might as well head in the opposite direction, deeper into the ruins. We might find the Divine Heart, and if that happens, it could turn the tide."

Wang Zhan also hesitated, having always unconditionally trusted the Sword Spirit’s advice. Naturally, he had no misgivings.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and finally said, "Then retreat!"

Wang Zhan pulled Li Du and Xiang Tian along and quickly headed deeper into the ruins, fleeing like defeated dogs, racing for their lives.

Just at that moment, a blood-red figure appeared behind the Demon Saber. Though extremely ethereal, it was clearly just a Soul Body.

The people standing beside the Demon Saber, upon seeing the figure, unanimously knelt on the ground, their eyes full of reverence.

The Soul Body slowly ascended, raising its hands, absorbing the aura of everyone present. In an instant, they became corpses.

The light from the Soul Body became even brighter, quickly taking up the Demon Saber from the ground, glancing in Wang Zhan’s direction with a cold smirk.

"Trying to escape, kid? But I don’t intend to let you go!"

He now needs endless human spirit to break the barrier of the ruins and re-emerge!

Once he’s out, he can regain a physical form, dominating the Star War Battlefield once more.

The next second, that figure dashed toward Wang Zhan and his companions.

"Not good, that guy seems relentless in pursuing us. What should we do?"

Li Du’s face turned considerably grim.

The earlier ease had completely vanished.

Since the strange figure remains enigmatic, none of them dared to act rashly.

If they truly engaged the figure, they might fall into an irrevocable position.

Naturally, Wang Zhan understood this well, biting his teeth and saying in a deep voice, "Let’s not worry too much for now. The most urgent task is to find a place to hide inside and, if possible, locate the Divine Heart to possibly reverse the current situation."

"But if the Divine Heart cannot be found, then perhaps..."

For a moment, Wang Zhan didn’t even know what to do.

If there is no way out in the ruins, then they have no choice but to confront the shadow behind them.

The final outcome will not change.

Xiang Tian spoke calmly, "If there’s no alternative, we can fight him head-on. I don’t believe this fellow is truly invincible. The two of you are strong, and with me aiding you, surely we three can handle a mere Soul Body?"

Heh...

Upon hearing this, Li Du’s mouth curled into a cold smile, and he shook his head while saying, "Did you notice earlier that many experts were present, and yet none could rival this Soul Body creator? Can we really gain the upper hand even if we combine forces?"

This...

Xiang Tian hesitated, admitting that Li Du made some valid points.

But given the situation, what’s there to do?

If there’s truly no way to retreat, they have no choice but to engage the Soul Body behind them.

In an instant, the Soul Body appeared before them, directly blocking their path.

The blood-red figure slowly raised the Demon Saber in his hand, and after coldly glancing at Wang Zhan and the others, he spoke with satisfaction, "I never expected that you insignificant humans could possess divine weapons and tools. It’s truly interesting!"

"If I could merge these divine weapons and tools, my strength would further increase."

As he spoke, the figure remained fixated on Xiang Tian and Li Du’s weapons, clearly showing signs of greed.

Wang Zhan merely furrowed his brows slightly; he clenched his fist and then swiftly charged at the blood-red figure.

"Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation!"

Wang Zhan immediately unveiled his killing move.

In an instant, in mid-air, numerous crimson shadows emerged, transforming into sharp longswords, and swiftly targeting the Demon Saber.

The man wielding the Demon Saber responded disdainfully, "I am the Sword Spirit. How can you possibly restrain me with such formation techniques?"

The next moment, the Sword Spirit raised the Demon Saber and chopped down on the Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation.

With a resounding crash, the Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation shattered, and the fireballs fell scattered around.

Witnessing this, Wang Zhan’s breathing became significantly heavier.

Throughout the years, he had relied on this formation technique to face opponents, battling many with few, and overcoming the strong with the weak, never once failing.

Despite not being able to kill others with this technique, it could at least delay them temporarily.

Yet unexpectedly, the Sword Spirit effortlessly broke the Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation.

The strength is indeed terrifying.

Standing beside, Li Du’s face was also filled with seriousness; he slowly raised the staff in his hand and summoned a black shadow before him. With a swift motion, the shadow lunged at the Sword Spirit.

"Not bad..."

The Sword Spirit’s mouth formed a faint smile, seemingly not concerned.

In his view, Wang Zhan and Li Du’s attacks were merely superficial, unable to affect him significantly.

With a loud bang, the Sword Spirit suddenly ascended, and the knife in his hand flew directly toward Li Du.

Li Du instinctively raised the staff to protect his chest.

After all, if struck by the knife, even with his formidable strength, he would face certain death.

Shortly, a crisp sound was heard, and Li Du’s staff shattered...

"It seems that compared with his sword, the weapon you wield falls far behind..."

The Sword Spirit’s face showed a wry smile; he shook his head and then refocused his gaze on Wang Zhan, motioning for him with a finger, and continued, "Now, your friend has reached his limit. If I proceed, he might die here."

"Of course, if you want me to stop, hand over your sword to me. What do you think?"
