Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 671 - 669 Ju Tian’en’s Thoughts_1

As they were talking, several beasts rushed towards them at high speed. Fortunately, Xiang Tian's reflexes were extremely quick. After promptly taking out a few beasts, he grabbed Luo Xue's arm and pulled her to his side. "You must have seen how dangerous it is here, right? So stop wasting time! Women like you should just hide in Tianxiong City. There's no need for you to be on the battlefield!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I'll kill you right now!"

Luo Xue glared at him angrily; she most detested people looking down on women.

But Xiang Tian was doing just that, discriminating based on gender.

Xiang Tian sighed. "Everything I'm doing is for your own good. If you're going to be ungrateful, then I won't say any more. Anyway, if you run into danger later, I won't step in to save you again. After all, I'm not some savior."

"You think I need your help?" Luo Xue retorted defiantly, then drew her longsword and quickly engaged the surrounding beasts.

Xiang Tian didn't hesitate either. If I want to improve my cultivation, I have to keep killing these beasts. Equipment and skills are important, but right now, I haven't even raised my most basic cultivation level. Even with powerful weapons and skills, what good would they be? With this in mind, Xiang Tian fought with increasing valor, quickly dispatching several more beasts.

In mid-air, Ju Tian'en constantly observed the situation on the battlefield.

Although most of his attention was focused on Wang Zhan, he soon also noticed Xiang Tian and Luo Xue.

Admittedly, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue were formidable. They had taken out dozens of beasts in almost no time, displaying skills far superior to those of ordinary warriors.

From atop Tianxiong City's wall, Ju Tian'en squinted at the two figures. He signaled a nearby soldier and asked, "Who are those two?"

The soldier looked in the direction Ju Tian'en indicated and replied hastily, "If I'm not mistaken, they should be refugees who arrived with that powerful expert from the sky."

"Refugees?" Ju Tian'en chuckled and shook his head. If they're refugees, then what does that make the people of Tianxiong City? With their strength, they could probably even run rampant on the Star War Battlefield.

"Absolutely, sir. I recall they came with several villagers from the neighboring village. I remember you were the one who led them into the city."

The soldier explained quickly.

Ju Tian'en narrowed his eyes. Indeed, he had led a group of villagers into Tianxiong City back then. At the time, the city was already facing the threat of a beast siege. So even if he hadn't helped, they likely would have all faced the same fate. Once Tianxiong City was breached, its inhabitants wouldn't have fared any better than the people in the surrounding villages.

But what Ju Tian'en hadn't expected was that among the refugees he had brought back, there were individuals of such skill.

However, this realization made Ju Tian'en's expression turn grim, and a sense of unease grew within him. These individuals possess formidable strength, yet they chose to mingle with mere villagers. That must mean they likely have ulterior motives. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Nevertheless, Tianxiong City was on the verge of being breached. If Wang Zhan hadn't intercepted the level 7 Beast in time, Ju Tian'en himself would likely be a corpse by now. Xiang Tian and Luo Xue, fighting desperately below the city wall, were clearly not putting on an act either; their battle was genuine. This turn of events left Ju Tian'en perplexed. For a moment, he couldn't fathom their true intentions.

"Tell all the warriors to launch the main assault!" Ju Tian'en decided not to dwell on it further. After giving the order, he himself swiftly charged towards the battlefield.

He had actually been ready for some time but hadn't made a move. It wasn't because he was trying to shirk his duties; rather, he had been observing Wang Zhan in the sky. Even now, he wasn't sure if Wang Zhan was a match for the level 7 Beast. After all, if Wang Zhan were defeated, and the level 7 Beast stormed the battlefield, it wouldn't just be the warriors outside who would be impacted; everyone within Tianxiong City would face a grim fate. Furthermore, he knew how terrifying a level 7 Beast was, so he naturally needed to wait until Wang Zhan had fully engaged it before he could act.

But now, it seemed Wang Zhan had the upper hand. Although Wang Zhan couldn't easily dispatch the level 7 Beast in a short time, with him tying down the creature, I could swiftly enter the battlefield and sway the course of the battle. After all, Ju Tian'en's strength was also extremely formidable; he was a top-tier expert.

As Ju Tian'en entered the battlefield, he quickly dispatched several beasts. A glance revealed that all the creatures he eliminated were level 5 demonic beasts or higher.

Soon, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue also noticed Ju Tian'en on the battlefield.

"That guy must be the City Lord of Tianxiong City, right?" Xiang Tian's gaze fell on Ju Tian'en. An expert's caliber is clear from their first action. The few moves Ju Tian'en used to instantly dispatch several level 5 demonic beasts were ample proof of his strength.

"What's wrong with your memory? Have you forgotten he was the one who brought us into Tianxiong City?" Luo Xue said impatiently, swatting away a beast with a palm strike before continuing, "Although that man is powerful, he's still a far cry from Brother Wang."

"That's obvious. Brother Wang's strength has skyrocketed recently. He has now entered the Martial Saint Stage; how could ordinary people possibly be his match?" Xiang Tian crossed his arms, ignoring the beasts that were menacingly eyeing him, and continued, "Didn't you see? Even that level 7 Beast is no match for Brother Wang. Its defeat is just a matter of time."

Luo Xue nodded emphatically.

The only topic on which the two could find common ground was Wang Zhan.

Quickly, the two once again joined the battle with the surrounding beasts. Suddenly, a thunderclap echoed across the sky, and everyone instinctively looked up.

Then, they saw the level 7 Beast plummeting rapidly into the crowd below.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhan stood proudly in mid-air, Deep Fire Blade in hand, looking utterly composed.

"Useless trash! Is this all the strength you possess?" Wang Zhan shouted disdainfully in the direction where the level 7 Beast had fallen.

However, the level 7 Beast did not respond. In fact, it was already out of sight, having presumably fled for its life.

Wang Zhan's expression changed slightly. He frowned and muttered, "I didn't expect a level 7 Beast to be so cowardly."

With the departure of the level 7 Beast, the other beasts on the battlefield retreated like a receding tide. After all, their leader had fled; where would they find the courage to continue fighting? Compared to the level 7 Beast, these lesser beasts were insignificant.

The warriors of Tianxiong City pursued them for a while before returning, elated. No one had expected the battle to proceed so smoothly, and everyone knew it was all thanks to Wang Zhan. If Wang Zhan hadn't blocked the level 7 Beast in time, Ju Tian'en would likely be dead by now, and Tianxiong City would have become a den for beasts. Everyone would have been left homeless, or worse, become food for the beasts.

Everyone gathered respectfully around Wang Zhan. All the warriors knelt on one knee and said in solemn unison, "Thank you, hero, for saving us!"

Wang Zhan simply waved his hand at them and said with a smile, "You're all too kind."

Not far away, Ju Tian'en slowly approached. The surrounding warriors respectfully parted to either side, clearing a path for him.

Soon, Ju Tian'en reached Wang Zhan's side. He looked at Wang Zhan, clasped his fist, and said with a smile, "Who would have thought that among the villagers I casually brought into the city, there would be such a formidable individual?"

Wang Zhan just smiled and shook his head. "City Lord, there's no need to be suspicious of my identity. I was merely passing through when I saw that the surrounding villages had all been burned to the ground. I wanted to help these villagers find a new home. It was only after hearing about Tianxiong City's rules that I found myself in a difficult position, so I had everyone temporarily stay in the mountain forest."

At the mention of this, Ju Tian'en's expression turned somber. He sighed and said, "Actually, I am well aware of the principle that with great power comes great responsibility. It's just that Tianxiong City cannot accommodate so many people. Besides, as you've seen, even I can barely protect Tianxiong City. If you hadn't appeared in time this instance, Tianxiong City would likely no longer exist, and I would have perished long ago."

Wang Zhan just smiled and waved his hand, then said, "The strength you and I possess is far beyond that of ordinary people. With such high cultivation, we couldn't just stand idly by, could we?"

"Alright, let's stop with the mutual praise for now." Ju Tian'en gazed into the distance, his eyes narrowing slightly. After a moment, he continued, "Those beasts will undoubtedly regroup and attack again. We must devise a new strategy."

"We'll follow your arrangements," Wang Zhan replied calmly.
