Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 658 - 656 Tianxiong City_1

Xiang Tian and Luo Xue looked at each other and both nodded.

Actually, they were well aware that in a real emergency, Wang Zhan would not abandon them. Therefore, the responsibility to protect the girl in front of them would naturally fall onto Wang Zhan again.

However, having traveled together for so long, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue had grown quite familiar with Wang Zhan. As this wasn't the first time they had put him in such a spot, they weren't overly concerned.

Since the village before them had become a Sea of Fire, there was no need for them to stay. Throughout the journey, Wang Zhan spoke little, but Luo Xue and the girl had a lot to talk about.

After some discussion, Luo Xue had a good understanding of the girl in front of her. Immediately, she went over to Wang Zhan, gently pulling him to one side while smiling, "Brother Wang, I've got everything figured out. This little girl's name is Han Xue."

"She said her parents have high cultivation levels, but I reckon their level isn't much different from Xiang Tian's. After all, Han Xue doesn't have any cultivation herself, so naturally, she can't distinguish between high and low levels of cultivation."

While Wang Zhan did not speak, Luo Xue still confidently continued, "I also got some information that many demonic beasts have been coming to their village in search of something called the Fire Dragon Pill. I don't know what it is, have you heard of it before?"

"Fire Dragon Pill?"

Wang Zhan frowned slightly, carefully recalling everything about the Fire Dragon Pill, but seemed to have no idea what it was, just some faint memory of having heard it somewhere.

"I knew you would be interested in this."

Luo Xue smiled and continued, "So it looks like we didn't bring Han Xue with us for nothing. Now we know about the existence of the Fire Dragon Pill. If you truly wish to find it, should we have a chat with Han Xue to see if there's any chance of finding it?"

Wang Zhan frowned slightly. "You just believe her about the Fire Dragon Pill that easily?"

Luo Xue turned around and looked at Han Xue, who was not far away. Due to Xiang Tian's presence nearby, Han Xue could only follow them obediently, appearing quite well-behaved, as harmless as any common little girl.

"Look at her, does she look like a wicked person capable of causing harm? There is absolutely no reason for her to lie to me."

Wang Zhan rolled his eyes, and Luo Xue then said, "Don't you remember when we first met Luo Tianhong? I recall that at that time you were not by my side. However, you can ask Xiang Tian; Luo Tianhong was just like the girl we see now. I felt that he was harmless, too; but who knew he would turn out to be so fierce and powerful. Now he's even become a nightmare to us."

"This..."

Luo Xue laughed awkwardly, scratched her head and continued, "But not every person is Luo Tianhong, and not everyone has his kind of power. From what I see, Han Xue cares a lot about her family. How could she possess such power, yet hide it and disregard her own family? That's simply impossible."

Although Luo Xue was quite sure of what she said, Wang Zhan opted not to argue any further. At the moment, Luo Xue seemed to greatly trust Han Xue. Of course, he knew why. As both Luo Xue and Han Xue were girls, Luo Xue naturally was more caring towards Han Xue and chose to believe her words more readily.

However, on the Star War Battlefield, one must always think of oneself first. One should not easily believe what others say since you never know what they're thinking. If you don't fully understand a person, it's better to be cautious.

"Brother Wang..."

Luo Xue wanted to continue the conversation, but Wang Zhan had already walked away.

Xiang Tian walked up to her side, patted her shoulder and said, "I told you before; Brother Wang isn't in a good mood right now. It's better to keep your distance from him. If he gets angry, be careful that he doesn't leave you here. Then it would be difficult for you to return to the fifth war zone. So it's better for you to just listen to what Brother Wang says and speak less."

"What's it to you?"

Luo Xue retorted irritably before walking towards Han Xue.

As the two girls were together again, their conversation restarted. It was unknown what they were discussing, but even after a few hours of walking, they were still talking as if there was no end to their words.

In the meantime, Wang Zhan didn't bother to listen to them. He had walked off to one side while Xiang Tian quickly ran over. After looking back at Han Xue, he said, "Brother Wang, even though I understand your concerns, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with Han Xue. She is certainly not of the same ilk as Luo Tianhong, you don't need to worry about anything, especially with Luo Xue and me around."

Wang Zhan immediately rolled his eyes at him, speaking displeasedly, "It's because I have you two by my side that I need to be more cautious. If it weren't for you, I would've probably already broken through this interface."

"Also, if you're really so adept at reading people, you should've been able to discern Luo Tianhong's true colors from the start. Your father wouldn't have needed to place you under my protection, let alone remain so anxious."

At that, Xiang Tian fell silent. He merely sought to curry favor with Wang Zhan, but he hadn't expected such a cold response.

In the end, Xiang Tian walked off to the side, shrugged helplessly, and dared not say anything more.

Soon, after they had walked some distance, Wang Zhan's pupils suddenly contracted. He squinted, gazing into the distance.

"Is that... a city?"

Apparently, Xiang Tian and his group had noticed something up ahead as well.

However, the distance was simply too great, so they couldn't discern exactly what the silhouette ahead of them was.

"Could that be a large ruin?"

Luo Xue approached; the mere thought of ruins made her expression darken considerably. Subconsciously clenching her fists, she said, "I wonder if we'll encounter Luo Tianhong here. It seems wherever there are ruins, we might run into that guy."

Mentioning Luo Tianhong immediately raised the tension. Wang Zhan shook his head, reassuring everyone, "Don't worry. I don't think we'll encounter Luo Tianhong anytime soon. He's heavily wounded and probably hiding somewhere to heal."

After their last battle, Wang Zhan had suffered minor injuries. However, relative to him, Luo Tianhong's injuries were much more severe. Upon its death, the Ice Snake had dealt a lethal blow to Luo Tianhong, leaving him no time to recover. By then, Wang Zhan had already confronted him—Luo Tianhong quite literally had enemies on both sides.

Even though Luo Tianhong's cultivation is higher than Wang Zhan's, it's clear he's still severely injured.

Upon hearing Wang Zhan's words, Xiang Tian and the others smiled and nodded.

Luo Tianhong had consistently been a significant threat to them during this time. Everywhere they went, they couldn't escape his watchful eyes. He kept popping up out of nowhere, incessantly stealing from them. However, they all understood that these days would soon pass. During their last encounter, Wang Zhan had severely injured Luo Tianhong. When they meet again, Wang Zhan's cultivation would likely have improved. Then, even if they faced several Luo Tianhongs, they would be no match for Wang Zhan.

Of course, they kept these thoughts hidden from Wang Zhan. If Wang Zhan knew, he would undoubtedly break down.

After all, others might be unaware of how terrifying Luo Tianhong's cultivation is, but Wang Zhan is acutely conscious of it.

While they were discussing what lay ahead, Han Xue walked over, pointing into the distance and saying with a smile, "You're right. It is indeed a city, not some ruins. I've been there when I was little."

Only then did everyone remember that Han Xue, who was in front of them, was a local who lived nearby. Although this place was quite distant from her original home, she knew this place much better than them. The Star War Battlefield was simply too enormous. Should they wish to return to the fifth war zone, they would likely even have trouble finding the way.

"What is the name of that city?" Wang Zhan asked casually.

In haste, Han Xue replied, "Tianxiong City."

"When I was younger, I would hear my parents say that Tianxiong City is a peaceful place. The city's lord is rumored to possess formidable cultivation. Even though many demonic beasts loom around the city, none dare to venture into Tianxiong City.

"Unfortunately, Tianxiong City isn't very large, so it can't accommodate too many people. The powerful city lord only wishes to protect his own territory and has abstained from interfering in the affairs of surrounding areas over the years. However, it must be said that the citizens of Tianxiong City live peaceful and content lives."

Xiang Tian shook his head. "Who would've thought that a peaceful haven could exist on the Star War Battlefield?"

The region where Tianxiong City was located was much more dangerous than the Fifth Battlefield. After all, most demonic beasts they encountered here have reached the level of a level 5 demonic beast. Some were even stronger. Without formidable strength, survival here would be difficult.

Furthermore, Tianxiong City appeared vast, presumably housing many people. It would naturally become a target for demonic beasts. But the fact that a single city lord could protect the city demonstrated his capability.
