Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 661 - 659: The Village Bathed inBlood_1

"But wasn't Han Xue just saying that the city lord of Tianxiong City is incredibly powerful? I'm worried that Brother Wang might not be his match."

Luo Xue began to worry again, squatting down to one side and raising his head to look around. However, under the sparse starlight, he didn't see anything.

I really don't know when Brother Wang will be back. This feeling is really uncomfortable. I don't feel safe at all without Brother Wang by my side.

Meanwhile, Xiang Tian sidled up to him and said with a laugh, "What? It seems like you've fallen for Brother Wang. How about I play matchmaker for you two when Brother Wang returns?"

Instantly, Luo Xue's face turned quite red. He lowered his head and said in a soft voice, "If you can really do that for me, I'll be grateful to you for the rest of my life."

"You're not serious, are you? I thought you were joking!"

Xiang Tian looked extremely embarrassed. He had only said it casually and hadn't expected Luo Xue to take it so seriously. He had always assumed Luo Xue felt the same way he did—that Wang Zhan was just a friend. He never imagined Luo Xue had other feelings for Wang Zhan.

Xiang Tian shook his head helplessly and said no more; the atmosphere had indeed become too awkward.

Han Xue, on the other hand, chimed in, "I also think Brother Wang is very charming. It would be wonderful if he could be with Sister Xue."

Luo Xue lightly patted her head and laughed, "Little sister, I didn't expect you to have such good insight."

Xiang Tian helplessly shook his head. Wang Zhan is of such standing, and his skills are incredibly formidable. How could he possibly be with Luo Xue? After all, Luo Xue seems like a child and is quite immature. On the Star War Battlefield, it's natural for two people of similar strength to be together; otherwise, the weaker one would only hold the stronger one back.

Perhaps, their relationship would fade over time.

Suddenly, a figure descended swiftly from the darkness, catching everyone's attention.

Upon seeing the familiar figure of Wang Zhan standing in front of them, everyone sighed with relief. Xiang Tian walked quickly to Wang Zhan's side and asked immediately, "Brother Wang, how's the situation over there? Can you take us with you into Tianxiong City?"

"I don't want to stay here anymore. I feel like there are always a pair of eyes watching us from the shadows. It's extremely uncomfortable."

Xiang Tian wasn't joking; he had been paying close attention to their surroundings. After all, with Wang Zhan gone, the mission to protect these two would naturally fall to him. So he was constantly scrutinizing their surroundings. Though it was pitch black, he could still sense a terrifying aura.

It felt as if something was watching them.

At this thought, Xiang Tian's face turned considerably paler.

Wang Zhan frowned slightly and shook his head. "I don't have a good solution for now. The city walls are heavily guarded, and entering won't be easy. The most troublesome part is that I still don't know the true strength of Tianxiong City's lord. I'm worried that breaking in rashly could bring us significant trouble."

"We can't just stay here forever, how about this..."

Luo Xue glanced at Han Xue beside him and said with a smile, "Just after you left, Han Xue mentioned there are several other villages near hers. We could go there temporarily, try to find a local map, and then we'd be able to leave this area more quickly, right?"

"I also feel that there are many powerful demonic beasts near Tianxiong City."

Wang Zhan nodded. He understood why they felt that way. Tianxiong City was the largest city in the vicinity and the most populous. It was natural that demonic beasts would be scheming to enter it. Although a powerful city lord guarded Tianxiong City, there were undoubtedly terrifying entities among the demonic beasts as well. Once the demonic beasts launched an assault, even that city lord would likely struggle to defend it.

After all, few could resist many.

Furthermore, Wang Zhan had already been on the city wall and had even interacted with the warriors there. A quick glance was enough for him to gauge their strength. These warriors wouldn't even be a match for a level 2 beast, let alone more formidable demonic beasts.

"But there is one thing I need to make clear to you all," Han Xue interjected. "Not only our village but also the villages nearby are very exclusive. With demonic beasts everywhere, people are naturally worried. So even if I enter those villages with you, they may not give us refuge. We need to consider this carefully."

Wang Zhan understood, of course. It had been the same when he first entered the fifth war zone. People there had even treated him as an enemy. Fortunately, Wang Zhan's cultivation was considerable back then, and he helped the fifth war zone resolve many issues. As a result, many in that war zone became his friends, and he was eventually honored as a God of War.

If we suddenly go to other villages now, those people will naturally be wary and resistant.

At this thought, Wang Zhan's expression changed slightly. He glanced at the city wall behind them and said in a deep voice, "But we don't have any better options right now. Let's head to those villages Han Xue mentioned and see. If it works out, it would be best to stay there and recuperate for a while. Of course, if they don't let us stay, we'll find a place nearby to rest and gather our strength, then continue our journey."

Xiang Tian and Luo Xue nodded firmly, clearly agreeing with Wang Zhan's plan.

However, Han Xue looked at Wang Zhan curiously and asked, "Brother Wang, what exactly are you all searching for on the Star War Battlefield? You seem to be wandering like headless chickens. You aren't like those people my father mentioned, are you—the ones who've just arrived on the Star War Battlefield?"

Wang Zhan smiled and shook his head. He himself was indeed such a person, but Xiang Tian and Luo Xue were not.

Han Xue continued to wait expectantly for an answer.

Wang Zhan explained with a smile, "We travel across the Star War Battlefield to enhance our cultivation and, of course, to find powerful demonic beasts and ancient ruins. That's the only way we can continuously increase our combat strength to face our enemies."

"Are there people that even Brother Wang can't handle?"

Han Xue blinked her large eyes and asked curiously, "If it's not a demonic beast, then that person must be utterly vicious. Otherwise, how could someone as good as Brother Wang have enemies?"

Wang Zhan didn't say anything. The image of Luo Tianhong appeared in his mind. No doubt, Luo Tianhong was an extremely evil person and a terrifying demonic beast. If Luo Tianhong were allowed to grow stronger, the entire Star War Battlefield, and even the people in this plane, would be affected. He naturally needed to improve his cultivation as soon as possible so that when he encountered Luo Tianhong again, he could kill him with a single strike.

"Alright," Luo Xue said, walking over to Han Xue and pulling her to his side. "Don't keep pestering Brother Wang. We need him to carefully observe our surroundings so he isn't distracted. Otherwise, our safety won't be guaranteed." He could tell that Wang Zhan didn't seem to like answering such questions.

Han Xue was, of course, very obedient and didn't ask any more questions.

Soon after they walked some distance, they saw several villages not far away.

However, to everyone's shock, the villages before them were already a sea of corpses. A quick scan revealed not a single living person.

Wang Zhan's expression gradually darkened. He quickly examined the bodies on the ground and asked, "Did this place also suffer a massacre by demonic beasts?"

Xiang Tian's and the others' expressions also turned grim. Han Xue, especially, kept her eyes tightly shut, clutching Luo Xue's arm. She was clearly terrified, having never witnessed such a scene.

"Looking at these brutal means, it was most likely the work of demonic beasts," Wang Zhan said, clenching his fist and slamming it onto the ground. He saw that even children, some only a few years old, were among the dead. The demonic beasts hadn't spared even them. It was utterly cruel.

Xiang Tian walked over to him and asked, "Brother Wang, what do we do now?"

"I have a feeling that these demonic beasts wouldn't have gone far," Xiang Tian continued. "These bodies are still warm. We'd better leave here as soon as possible."

Wang Zhan grinned. "Leave?"

"Yes, isn't that right?" Xiang Tian urged. "If we don't leave, we could become targets for these creatures. It would be difficult for us to get away."

Luo Xue and Han Xue also nodded vigorously.

However, a grim expression settled on Wang Zhan's face. He clenched his fists slightly and said coldly, "These beasts are so utterly ruthless. Since we've stumbled upon them, we can't just let them go. Besides, don't you two also want to improve your cultivation? We've found them now; use them to advance."
