Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 668 - 666: The Danger of Tianxiong City_1
"You..."
Luo Xue's eyes widened. She grabbed Han Xue and pulled her onto the bed, shouting, "I'll teach you to gossip!"
Han Xue pleaded for mercy, but her cries fell on deaf ears as Wang Zhan and Xiang Tian had already gone downstairs.
Downstairs, Wang Zhan yawned lazily, then shook his head in frustration. I don't know what Luo Xue is thinking. Can't she see that all I want is to focus on improving my cultivation and not be bothered by anything else?
"Brother Wang, you may not know this, but from a girl's perspective, she might still like you even if you don't reciprocate her feelings. That's why she's always by your side."
Xiang Tian chuckled, covering his mouth. "That said, it's actually a good thing; not everyone gets to have their own little follower."
"Then I'll give her to you," Wang Zhan stated bluntly.
Xiang Tian, however, waved his hands repeatedly, looking as if he'd seen something terrifying. He quickly said, "You can give me anything else, but if it's Luo Xue, then forget it. Please, I beg you, show mercy. It's better for you to keep her by your side."
"Fine, then I'll go back and tell Luo Xue right now."
As he spoke, Wang Zhan turned to head back.
Xiang Tian's face turned pale with fear. He quickly grabbed Wang Zhan and pleaded, "Brother Wang, are you trying to watch her beat me to death?"
Wang Zhan simply shook his head without speaking.
He only intended to scare Xiang Tian a little. After all, they were brothers; how could he truly put Xiang Tian in danger?
If Luo Xue found out what Xiang Tian had said, it would be far more terrifying than encountering a beast.
However, they had only taken a few steps when they saw warriors on the street rushing towards the city wall.
Around them, exclamations of alarm filled the air.
"It's over, it's over! I heard the beasts are preparing to attack the city, and there are so many of them!"
"Everyone, hurry back and pack your things! I'm afraid Tianxiong City won't be able to hold out this time."
"At this critical moment, will the City Lord lead us to abandon the city and escape?"
"I wonder if those beasts want Tianxiong City, or if they want to eliminate us."
Everyone's faces were grim. With their homes about to be lost and the prospect of becoming homeless, how could they not be worried?
Wang Zhan's expression changed, and he quickly ran back towards the hotel.
Once the battle starts, the whole of Tianxiong City might descend into chaos. Presumably, no one will be maintaining order then, and finding Luo Xue and Han Xue would become difficult. That's why we all must stay together.
Xiang Tian also wiped the playful smile from his face, no longer daring to joke.
Soon, Wang Zhan and Xiang Tian were back in the hotel room.
Luo Xue and Han Xue, who had just been fooling around, quickly came over to them.
Luo Xue hurriedly asked, "What's happening downstairs? I saw all those warriors mobilizing. Is it because beasts have suddenly launched an attack on Tianxiong City?"
In their view, that was the only possibility that could cause all the warriors to mobilize.
Wang Zhan nodded gravely and said, "It's hard to say what Tianxiong City will become in a while, and it's also unclear if the warriors can hold them off. So, you two, along with Han Xue, should stay here. I'll go out and see what's happening. I'll come back to reunite with you once things outside are resolved."
"Brother Wang, you aren't planning to secretly go and improve your strength again, are you?"
Xiang Tian, at the side, gave a helpless laugh. "I follow you to continuously improve my own cultivation, but every time there's a major battle, you always protect Luo Xue and me. How are we supposed to grow like that?"
"Exactly, Brother Wang! I also want to go with you to the battlefield. After all, you know Tianxiong City is short-handed. Even if Xiang Tian's and my strength isn't great, compared to those warriors, we should be much stronger, right? On the battlefield, we can naturally provide considerable assistance."
Luo Xue blinked, looking at Wang Zhan. She had waited for this moment for too long.
Wang Zhan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I think you both understand the situation outside. This is absolutely not a joke. You should stay quietly in the hotel. Although the warriors' strength might not compare to yours, they fight with coordination, not as individuals. If you two enter the battlefield, I'll also need to protect you. Wouldn't that just be creating more trouble for me?"
"I don't need your protection," Xiang Tian quickly interjected, looking as if he absolutely had to go to the battlefield.
However, Wang Zhan's attitude was very firm. He glanced at Xiang Tian and then said, "Alright, just stay here quietly. This time, listen to me. After all, this isn't an ordinary battle. Once it starts, casualties on both sides will naturally be countless. Besides, Tianxiong City will be full of powerless people then. If any situation arises, by staying in Tianxiong City, you might still be able to offer them some help."
"But..."
Xiang Tian wanted to continue, but Wang Zhan's expression suddenly darkened, and he dared not say more.
Luo Xue, at the side, lowered her head. Anyone could see that Wang Zhan's stance was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan had left the hotel and disappeared from their sight.
Han Xue, at the side, looked at the two of them before cautiously asking, "Brother Wang... he won't run into trouble, will he?"
Hearing Han Xue's question, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue exchanged a smile.
Then, Xiang Tian said, "I can tell you this: even if all the warriors outside are wiped out by the beasts, and even if Tianxiong City is occupied by beasts, Wang Zhan will be fine."
"So, you should worry about yourself first. If it weren't for you, you little burden, Luo Xue and I would have already rushed to the battlefield. We'd probably be fighting alongside Wang Zhan by now."
Hearing this, Luo Xue looked aggrieved; opportunities to fight alongside Wang Zhan were rare.
Moreover, it would also allow them to improve their cultivation. But she couldn't understand why Wang Zhan wouldn't let them go to the battlefield.
Perhaps he had always seen us as younger siblings. Yet, the age difference between us wasn't even that great!
"That's good then. I don't need to worry about Brother Wang," Han Xue said with a smile, then walked towards the bed.
Xiang Tian, however, remained standing by the window, quietly observing the situation downstairs.
People in twos and threes were shuttling back and forth on the streets.
Moreover, most people were holding large bundles; clearly, everyone was preparing to leave Tianxiong City. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Of course, this was only human nature. After all, Tianxiong City had now become a city in peril, and no one knew when it might be invaded by beasts. The number of beasts was simply too great. And though Xiang Tian believed in Wang Zhan's strength, how could one man possibly hold off so many beasts alone?
And most importantly, it was rumored that among the beasts were level 7 Beasts—powerhouses they had never seen before.
Now, they didn't even know if Wang Zhan truly had the capability to deal with them.
Meanwhile, Wang Zhan stood atop the city wall. By this time, the warriors were too preoccupied to concern themselves with who else joined them, for many ordinary people had also armed themselves and taken to the city wall, hoping to protect their homes and families.
Wang Zhan's gaze remained fixed on the beasts below the city wall. The number of beasts attacking Tianxiong City this time was truly vast; as far as the eye could see, they were a dense, uncountable mass.
Moreover, Wang Zhan had just overheard some warriors talking: Tianxiong City had four gates, and now, all four gates were besieged by countless beasts. These beasts, as if unafraid of death, continuously charged towards Tianxiong City's main gate, looking as though they would not rest until they were dead or victorious.
However, Wang Zhan did not intervene in Tianxiong City's affairs.
The charging beasts in front of him were merely small fry. If he wanted to deal with them, Wang Zhan could eliminate them all with a mere flick of his hand. But Wang Zhan's attention was on the demonic beasts following this horde of beasts; those were the truly terrifying entities.
Looking out, level 2 beasts constituted a large portion, and the other demonic beasts were even more formidable. However, Wang Zhan still hadn't spotted the presence of any level 7 Beasts.
Although the difference in levels among demonic beasts might seem small, only Wang Zhan himself truly understood how terrifying the gap between their ranks could be.
It could be said that level 6 beasts and level 7 Beasts were in completely different leagues. Even if several level 6 beasts besieged a single level 7 Beast, victory would be extremely difficult; the best outcome would merely be mutual destruction.
In the blink of an eye, some beasts had already charged onto the city wall. However, the warriors fought desperately, and soon managed to temporarily beat this group of demonic beasts back below the city wall. But everyone knew this was merely a delaying tactic.
After all, the number of beasts was simply too immense, but how many warriors were there?
If all those beasts were to attack the city wall simultaneously, even if the warriors fought without food or sleep, they probably couldn't hold them off.
