Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 643 - 641: Appearance of a Level 4 Demonic Beast_Part 1

Wang Zhan nodded. Since both of them had already made their decision, although Luo Xue was somewhat scared, she had no choice but to follow them.

Of course, with Wang Zhan actually by her side, Luo Xue wasn't that worried.

After all, no matter the moment or the dangers they encountered, having Wang Zhan with them meant he could help them withstand everything.

"Okay, the three of us will split up and search carefully. Let's see if there are any traces in the camp."

Xiang Tian and Luo Xue both nodded, and then the two of them headed outside, while Wang Zhan began to carefully examine the corpse in front of him.

Although the bite marks indicated that this person had indeed been harmed by some ferocious beasts, he could not yet determine this for certain.

Time ticked by, second by second, minute by minute, but there was still no sound from outside the door. Wang Zhan finished examining the corpse and found nothing unusual about it, other than it had clearly been bitten on the neck by something—that was the fatal wound.

There were no signs of a fight here, so naturally, there was no need to investigate any further.

But then Wang Zhan remembered Xiang Tian and Luo Xue, who had just gone out to investigate. They seemed to have been silent all this time. Finally, he stepped out of the military tent and called out, "Xiang Tian! Luo Xue! What are you two doing?"

But despite shouting for a long time, there was still no response.

"Alright, stop fooling around! The situation is critical, come here quickly!"

However, even after saying that, he still heard no answer from Xiang Tian or Luo Xue. Wang Zhan's expression instantly turned grave. After all, this camp was indeed somewhat bizarre, and naturally, he was worried.

Moreover, Xiang Tian was currently injured, and his movements weren't very agile. As for Luo Xue, her cultivation was even lower. Even at my peak state, I would have difficulty dealing with a single beast, let alone on the Star War Battlefield, which is infested with demonic beasts!

Wang Zhan quickly moved towards the left; after all, this camp wasn't very large.

After walking just a few steps, Wang Zhan noticed Xiang Tian lying on the ground. He quickly rushed to Xiang Tian's side, grabbed his shoulders, shook him vigorously, and said, "Wake up!"

Xiang Tian slowly opened his eyes. He rubbed his somewhat dizzy head, glanced at Wang Zhan beside him, and then asked, "Brother Wang, where am I?"

"I say, kid, did you oversleep or something? Just a moment ago, I sent you two to scout the surroundings. But by the time I came out, you were already lying here on the ground. I haven't even asked you yet—where is Luo Xue?"

Hearing Luo Xue's name, Xiang Tian's expression instantly turned grave. He quickly got up, pointed into the distance, and said, "Brother Wang, hurry! Luo Xue must have run into trouble! Just after we came out, we encountered a terrifying dog with red eyes. It was extremely horrifying, and it didn't look like any dog we've seen before; it seemed to be under someone's control."

"Later, just as we were about to contact you, the dog pounced on me. Suddenly, my mind went blank. But in the instant I fainted, I saw Luo Xue also fall to the ground, and then she was dragged away by that dog."

Wang Zhan's gaze flickered. He clenched his fists, then took Xiang Tian and quickly headed into the distance.

"Damn it! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have sent you two out. It would have been better for you to stay quietly by my side. I can't believe you couldn't even handle a simple investigation!"

Wang Zhan wasn't actually blaming Xiang Tian; he was just worried about Luo Xue. After all, among the three of them, Luo Xue was not only a girl but also had extremely low cultivation. If she encountered any sudden situation, she likely wouldn't have any way to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhan's expression changed again, while Xiang Tian, beside him, kept his head hung low. Xiang Tian thought, Indeed, Luo Xue and I have always been dragging Brother Wang down. Although he's never mentioned it, we both understand it clearly.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the distant location.

Upon seeing the scene before them, Wang Zhan's expression instantly turned considerably graver. Luo Xue was tied to a tree. Not far away were several dogs with blood-red eyes, and in the middle of this group of dogs stood a figure in a black robe—it was impossible to tell if it was human or ghost.

The moment he saw the figure, Wang Zhan's expression instantly turned considerably graver. Within a few strides, he was already rushing towards the black-robed figure.

However, just as he approached, the figure seemed to sense Wang Zhan's presence. In an instant, it turned its head. To Wang Zhan and Xiang Tian's shock, beneath the black robe was a giant skeleton head.

"A level 4 Demonic Beast, Skeleton Ghost?"

Wang Zhan recognized its identity with just one glance, as he had some impression of the Skeleton Ghost. After all, other beasts all looked ferocious and menacing, but the Skeleton Ghost before him was different—it was purely, utterly hideous.

Of course, ugliness alone doesn't explain everything, but this shambolic look indeed left an unforgettable impression.

Within a few strides, Wang Zhan rapidly closed in on the Skeleton Ghost. He promptly lifted his hand, and the Deep Fire Blade instantly appeared at his fingertips. Simultaneously, Wang Zhan brandished the Deep Fire Blade, confronting the Skeleton Ghost head-on.

With a loud bang, the Skeleton Ghost was forced back several steps. Xiang Tian, standing by, was filled with shock. Although Wang Zhan had said he could contend with level 4 Demonic Beasts, Xiang Tian had never expected him to actually overpower a Skeleton Ghost so easily; after all, this single exchange had already defeated it.

"Damn human! It's infuriating that you managed to find this place! However, with such feeble power, you could only overpower me through a sneak attack like that. In a real fight, I'll show you the terror of a level 4 Demonic Beast!"

As it spoke, the Skeleton Ghost glanced at the few hounds with blood-red eyes standing beside it.

At its mere glance, those hounds charged at Wang Zhan as if frenzied, their speed truly astonishing. Wang Zhan merely smirked and swiftly raised his Deep Fire Blade. A gigantic wall of fire erupted before the hounds, and dragon roars echoed from the sky. Instantly, a series of Fire Dragons rapidly descended. The hounds didn't even have a chance to react before they were burned to charred cinders.

The Skeleton Ghost was also taken aback by this scene and subconsciously retreated a few steps. After scrutinizing Wang Zhan with narrowed eyes for a good while, it gritted its teeth and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect to encounter a Martial Saint here. How very interesting."

"Hmph..."

Wang Zhan sneered, then said dismissively, "A mere level 4 Demonic Beast dares to posture before me?"

"You truly are arrogant."

The Skeleton Ghost gave Wang Zhan a sinister look. It quickly rose, and eerie blue flames began to form around it. The next moment, those flames converged into a sharp sword, instantly hurtling toward Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan pushed Xiang Tian aside and released the Deep Fire Blade from his grasp.

"Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation!"

As Wang Zhan shouted, bursts of Fire Light erupted around the Deep Fire Blade. Before the flaming sword could touch Wang Zhan, it was engulfed by the Fire Light. The Skeleton Ghost was also trapped within, clearly showing the significant difference in their power.

After all, Wang Zhan had no intention of holding back. With Luo Xue's life hanging in the balance, he had to eliminate the Skeleton Ghost immediately. There was no time to waste with it.

The Skeleton Ghost also hadn't expected Wang Zhan's strength to be so formidable. It subconsciously retreated a few steps, the flames around its body growing even more dazzling.

Wang Zhan's expression shifted. Evidently, the Skeleton Ghost had used its trump card. However, this alone wouldn't be enough to overpower Wang Zhan easily.

Wang Zhan didn't close his eyes; his gaze was filled with disdain. Then, with a flick of two fingers, a gigantic Fire Dragon roared and hurtled madly towards the Skeleton Ghost.

At that moment, the Skeleton Ghost finally realized Wang Zhan's terrifying power, but it was already too late for it to retreat.

As the immense Fire Light descended, the Skeleton Ghost could only forcibly resist. With a deafening blast, a deep pit even appeared in the ground where the Skeleton Ghost had been, and its figure vanished.

"I didn't expect your strength to have become so formidable! Even a level 4 Demonic Beast has no power to retaliate against you?"

Xiang Tian quickly walked to Wang Zhan's side and gave him a thumbs-up.

Wang Zhan slightly narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the deep pit. Something feels off. After all, a level 4 Demonic Beast has its own strengths; how could it be defeated so easily?

"Alright, since we've dealt with the demonic beast, don't waste any more time. Hurry and check on Luo Xue."

As he spoke, Xiang Tian quickly headed towards Luo Xue. However, he had barely taken two steps when Wang Zhan suddenly yelled, "Watch out!"

Xiang Tian froze for a moment. Before he could react, a bright blue Fire Light erupted from the deep pit and shot towards him, striking him directly. The next second, Xiang Tian felt as if his body had been hit by a speeding train, and he was sent flying backward.

Simultaneously, Wang Zhan shot to his feet, once again firmly gripping the Deep Fire Blade.

"Despicable creature!"
