Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 654 - 652 The Power of Snow_1
"As long as we join forces, we can get rid of Luo Tianhong now," the Ice Snake said. "As for whether we can get the Snow Flower in the end, that's up to fate. Besides, whoever gets it, the other party should not try to snatch it. How about it?"
Despite the Ice Snake's considerate words, Wang Zhan paid no attention because he simply didn't believe the demonic beast.
However, it was right about one thing: the urgent matter at hand was to deal with Luo Tianhong. How the Snow Flower should be divided, and all other matters, should be put aside for now. If Luo Tianhong became too strong later, he would surely kill Wang Zhan first. By then, teaming up with the Ice Snake wouldn't be an easy business.
With this in mind, Wang Zhan quickly stood up, gripping the Deep Fire Blade in his hand. The next second, he threw the blade out, then aimed at Luo Tianhong and shouted, "Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation!"
Instantly, Fire Dragons soared high, shrouding the battlefield.
Wang Zhan's gaze shifted slightly.
Apparently, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation seemed to strike a blow to the level barrier in front, as the power on the level barrier gradually faded with the appearance of the Fire Dragons.
Wang Zhan knew well that if he could not break through the level barrier now, Luo Tianhong would soon absorb the Snow Flower Power, making him unbeatable by their combined strength.
Meanwhile, the Ice Snake remained still. Seeing that the Ice Snake made no move, Wang Zhan's expression soured, and he rebuked, "What are you standing there for? Weren't we going to break this level barrier together? Or do you want me to do it alone?"
"Don't forget, if you don't use your full strength, I see no need to cooperate with you. Even if we break through the level barrier then, if I don't attack Luo Tianhong, do you really think you can defeat him alone?"
Cooperation naturally requires sincerity. But this demonic beast's actions did not match its words—it still had its eye on the Snow Flower and was unwilling to use all its strength, probably to reserve energy for snatching the Snow Flower later. But how could such a petty trick deceive Wang Zhan? He was no one's puppet and had his own plans. Once the level barrier was broken, the Ice Snake would likely go berserk and charge at Luo Tianhong. If the two of them ended up seriously injuring each other, Wang Zhan would be the one to take advantage of the situation and reap the final rewards.
Thinking this, Wang Zhan's expression softened slightly. But he didn't relax his stance, as he felt it was crucial to let the Ice Snake understand his position; otherwise, the Ice Snake would remain wary of him.
"Alright, alright! I was just recovering from the battle, so I needed a moment. Look at you, do you really think I lack sincerity?"
After a grumbling response, the Ice Snake soared into the sky and turned into a huge white shadow. With a swift swing of his tail, he struck fiercely at the level barrier before them. The level barrier rippled with waves of energy. Combined with the powerful force of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation, their two assaults tore the level barrier apart.
With deafening rumbles, the entire Ice Palace shook violently, and icicles rained down from the ceiling.
It was only when the Ice Snake exerted his full strength that Wang Zhan finally smiled with satisfaction. He immediately formed hand seals and launched the final attack at the now-fragile level barrier. The ripples on the level barrier shattered. Luo Tianhong gradually opened his eyes, his gaze fixing on Wang Zhan and the Ice Snake.
"Interesting. I didn't expect humans to team up with demonic beasts. It caught me by surprise."
At this moment, Luo Tianhong looked radiant, with no trace of exhaustion from the previous battle. The Snow Flower floating above his head had withered.
Seeing this, the Ice Snake's eyes became bloodshot, his pupils constricting in fury. He growled, "Who would have thought that he could absorb the residual cultivation from the Snow Flower in such a short time?"
Indeed, he is horrifying.
The Ice Snake knew well that Luo Tianhong was of a demonic beast constitution, yet he couldn't immediately discern what his original form was. Wang Zhan, on the other hand, was very familiar with the capabilities of the Spirit Devouring Beast, as he had learned from an elder about Luo Tianhong. Therefore, he assumed that absorbing the Snow Flower Power wouldn't be a difficult task for Luo Tianhong.
Luo Tianhong's gaze gradually shifted to Wang Zhan. He spoke slowly, "It seems we are alike, aren't we? Willing to do anything to achieve our goals, right?"
"But from now on, don't preach to me with that holier-than-thou attitude. Look at what you're doing now, even allying with a demonic beast to deal with me. Truly laughable."
As he spoke, Luo Tianhong slowly rose to his feet. Squinting at Wang Zhan, he laughed and said, "If you want to deal with me, then I won't let you off easy. However, I must say, my cultivation has once again been enhanced. You might have been able to compete with me before, but dealing with me now won't be so easy."
"But I'll repeat my previous offer: if you are willing to be my servant, perhaps I can spare you. How about it?"
Wang Zhan frowned slightly, his face gradually darkening. He could sense the murderous intention in Luo Tianhong's eyes.
With a sneer, Wang Zhan confidently grasped the Deep Fire Blade. He shrugged and shook his head dismissively at Luo Tianhong. "I advise you to dispel all those thoughts. After all, if you want to deal with me, the Ice Snake will not stand idly by. Moreover, from what I know, even though you've just absorbed the Snow Flower Power, you'll still need some time to completely digest this energy. If the Ice Snake swallows you, he can certainly seize the Snow Flower Power for himself."
Obviously, Wang Zhan was planning to stir up a war between the Ice Snake and Luo Tianhong. He knew he couldn't stay any longer and concluded he had to cooperate with the Ice Snake to counter Luo Tianhong. Otherwise, things would become extremely troublesome.
Thinking this, Wang Zhan's expression flickered. He spoke again, "Ice Snake, although our paths differ, we should join forces now to deal with Luo Tianhong. Surely you see the sense in that?"
"After all, I can't devour him and absorb the Snow Flower Power. You, however, can. So, if we team up and kill him, it would be greatly beneficial for you."
The Ice Snake squinted, observing everything. He had to admit, Wang Zhan's words were indeed very tempting. After all, he *could* do it. Even though Luo Tianhong had completely absorbed the Snow Flower Power, the Ice Snake could still devour Luo Tianhong and claim that power.
Upon considering this, the Ice Snake nodded his head and rose into the air again, glaring angrily at Luo Tianhong.
Luo Tianhong squinted, his voice cold. "This is none of your business. Get lost, or I'll make sure you stay here forever."
An overt threat.
Even though Luo Tianhong had formidable capabilities, the Ice Snake showed no fear. After waiting here for several hundred years for the Snow Flower to form, hoping to use its power to constantly enhance his own cultivation and dominate the entire realm, he never expected an abrupt interruption from someone who not only stole the Snow Flower but also absorbed its power. So how could he possibly give up so easily?
Even if he died here, he would spare no effort to fight for the Snow Flower Power.
Wang Zhan shrugged, a smile playing on his lips as he squinted. "Looks like he's still threatening you. In that case, let's not waste any more time. We should strike quickly and deal with him, then we can both go about our own business. What do you say?"
The Ice Snake nodded. His cold voice echoed through the space, "This time, neither of us should hold back. Otherwise, it may be extremely difficult for both of us to leave. So, the priority is to eliminate this guy."
Wang Zhan nodded, raising the Deep Fire Blade in his hand. He charged at Luo Tianhong. The Ice Snake, also not wasting any time, slammed his massive tail down at Luo Tianhong. Clearly, the two were prepared to work together. They planned to deal with Luo Tianhong as quickly as possible, which seemed to be the best solution. Although Luo Tianhong's cultivation had improved somewhat, his aura was still unstable. Therefore, eliminating him now would be the easiest. Further delays would bring them no benefits.
Luo Tianhong, seeing the two attacking him, showed no fear, as if he had foreseen everything. He slowly raised his hand. Energy flooded his wrist, and in the next second, a huge beam of light swiftly descended from it, striking fiercely at Wang Zhan and the Ice Snake.
Wang Zhan and the Ice Snake didn't dare to slack off. They instantly moved to resist the beam of light. This energy beam, it turned out, contained far more energy than they had anticipated. Upon making contact, Wang Zhan felt a strong pressure weighing on him. If it weren't for the Deep Fire Blade in his hand, he doubted he could have resisted it.
