Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 851 - 849: Skyfire Mountain

In the blink of an eye, the group had already set off.Since the Sword Spirit’s memory of this place was also extremely vague, she didn’t provide Wang Zhan’s team with a direction.

After all, the path ahead needed to be walked by Wang Zhan and the others themselves.

Only in this way could Wang Zhan’s team gradually become top-tier experts.

After several days, Wang Zhan and his team arrived at an extremely hot space, where each step felt even hotter. If not for Wang Zhan’s fire attribute skills and the Fire Deity Armor, he might not have been able to withstand it.

Wang Zhan glanced at the two beside him, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue, then asked, "How are you holding up? Can you manage?"

They both nodded.

Yet, it was clear that they were under significant pressure.

Wang Zhan patted the Great Void Divine Sword on his back, and the Sword Spirit slowly emerged.

"Why is it so hot?"

The Sword Spirit slightly frowned and then said, "Could it be that you’ve arrived at that place?"

"What?"

Wang Zhan looked at her curiously.

"Skyfire Mountain."

The Sword Spirit stared at a distant red mountain range and said, "This is Skyfire Mountain. It’s said that there’s a Star Domain here, and the master of that domain is extremely powerful, far beyond Stellar-level. However, since he cultivates fire attribute skills, he’s incredibly irritable, and over the years has accumulated a lot of fire poison in his body, turning the surrounding land into this state."

"It’s to deter others from approaching easily."

"Damn it, although I didn’t show you a clear path, how did you end up here by accident?"

"Isn’t this seeking your own doom?"

Wang Zhan slightly furrowed his brow and then said, "Is that guy really that strong?"

Just having arrived on the Star War Battlefield and encountering such a strong opponent indeed surprised Wang Zhan.

However, it also stirred his competitive spirit.

The Sword Spirit seemed to see what he was thinking and then said, "I urge you not to have any crooked ideas. It’s said that the expert in Skyfire Mountain has a divine weapon in hand, and with his unfathomable strength, few have dared to provoke him over the years. After all, once you reach the level above Stellar-level experts, you’re considered a top-tier power. If you anger them, they might self-destruct."

"Such self-destruction would be enough to destroy heaven and earth."

Wang Zhan nodded and sighed before saying, "If that’s the case, then we shouldn’t waste time here. We’d better go elsewhere, so as not to really provoke that hot-tempered old guy. I bet he really wouldn’t let us leave, and it would be a loss not worth the gain."

"Bastard!"

Just as he finished speaking, a fiery figure quickly approached them.

In a few steps, the person appeared before Wang Zhan and his team.

That person gave Wang Zhan a cold glance and then said solemnly, "Who gave you the courage to slander our ancestor in Skyfire Mountain?"

"Who did I slander?"

Wang Zhan asked irritably.

"Do you think I didn’t hear you?"

That person said coldly, "You all have been whispering about Skyfire Mountain. Seeing that your strength isn’t weak, here’s the deal: if you kill these two beside you, I’ll give you a chance to join Skyfire Mountain. What do you think?"

Ha...

Upon hearing this, a cold smirk appeared on Wang Zhan’s lips.

And beside him, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue kept shaking their heads.

In this world, how could there be such a foolish person?

As Wang Zhan remained silent, the man continued, "I am the young master of Skyfire Mountain, Huo Xuan Yi."

"Therefore, within Skyfire Mountain, I have absolute authority. You wouldn’t be foolish enough to throw away your life just to protect these losers, would you?"

"To be honest, if not for my love of money, I would have dealt with you three long ago; you wouldn’t have the chance to speak here."

The team of Wang Zhan and two others ignored him completely.

Huo Xuan Yi frowned and said, "Didn’t you hear me?"

"Don’t pretend to be honorable here; everyone knows on the Star War Battlefield, people live for themselves. Are you really hesitating for these two losers? Truly laughable."

Beside him, Xiang Tian had finally lost his patience.

Previously, he had always been respected, but now he was repeatedly called a loser. How could he take it?

Xiang Tian’s expression changed, and he clenched his fist, swiftly charging towards Huo Xuan Yi. In an instant, he was already in front of Huo Xuan Yi.

However, Huo Xuan Yi slightly waved his hand, and a wall of fire appeared in front of Xiang Tian, blocking his path.

Xiang Tian directly made contact with that fiery curtain, and in an instant, he was sent flying backward.

This method is somewhat similar to Wang Zhan’s.

Xiang Tian’s face looked grim as he clutched his chest, struggling to get up, glaring fiercely at the man in front of him, Huo Xuan Yi.

Beside him, Luo Xue quickly ran to his side, hurriedly supporting him, and frowned as she said, "This is their territory, we shouldn’t be impulsive."

Xiang Tian clenched his fists but said nothing.

Huo Xuan Yi’s eyes fell again on Wang Zhan, and then he slowly spoke, "What do you think? Still haven’t thought it through? If so, then I’ll help you by killing these two losers."

Huo Xuan Yi was clearly not on the same level as Xiang Tian, and Xiang Tian couldn’t even withstand a single move from him.

With just a simple gesture, he could easily kill Xiang Tian in an instant.

Wang Zhan, standing nearby, slightly frowned. Seeing that Huo Xuan Yi was about to make a move, Wang Zhan’s expression changed, and he quickly stepped in front of Xiang Tian and Luo Xue while raising his hand. A deafening sound erupted, and both Wang Zhan and Huo Xuan Yi simultaneously retreated two steps.

Huo Xuan Yi squinted his eyes slightly, glanced at Wang Zhan, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then smiled contentedly, "Seems like I haven’t misjudged you; you really are an expert, actually able to spar with me?"

"That would mean you’ve stepped into the Stellar-level stage, right?"

"Just so happens that Skyfire Mountain needs someone like you."

"How about this..."

As he spoke, Huo Xuan Yi glanced at Xiang Tian and Luo Xue and said, "I know you value them greatly, and I imagine you don’t want to be separated from them. In that case, I’ll do you a favor and let you bring them into Skyfire Mountain with you. What do you say?"

"Moreover, I’ll make you an official under me, and by then, no one will trouble you."

On the Star War Battlefield, everyone is extremely realistic.

Everyone looks out for themselves.

Not only that, but this place is where martial prowess is held in the highest regard.

Those with strong powers naturally get certain privileges here, whereas those with weaker powers are at the mercy of others.

Seeing Wang Zhan still silent, Huo Xuan Yi frowned and shouted, "Didn’t you hear what I said?"

"Or are you just a deaf or mute bastard?"

As Wang Zhan prepared to make a move again, the Sword Spirit, standing nearby, stopped him and then whispered quietly, "Since he’s already revealed his identity, there’s no need to tangle with him here. This place still belongs to Skyfire Mountain, and once we start, I’m sure reinforcements for him will arrive quickly. By then, perhaps you and I could escape unscathed, but Xiang Tian and Luo Xue would be in danger."

"Given their strength, they’d find it impossible to escape."

"And once all of Skyfire Mountain’s forces arrive, it would be difficult for you to leave with those two."

Hearing this, Wang Zhan nodded.

He glanced at Xiang Tian and Luo Xue behind him, then said, "Let’s go."

"Go?"

As the three were about to leave, Huo Xuan Yi shouted again, "Where do you think you’re going?"

As he spoke, Huo Xuan Yi leapt directly in front of Wang Zhan and the others, extending his hand with a cold sneer, "There are only two paths in front of you: either join us at Skyfire Mountain or die."

His attitude was extremely tough.

Wang Zhan looked sideways at the Sword Spirit beside him, then shook his head helplessly and said, "Do you see this? I didn’t want to cause trouble, but this guy is pressing me relentlessly, so you can’t blame me."

"Since that’s the case..."

As he spoke, Wang Zhan directly revealed the Great Void Divine Sword on his back and suddenly slashed towards Huo Xuan Yi.

A flash of sword light shot into the sky.

Huo Xuan Yi took a few steps back and then clasped his hands together, revealing a Red Tassel Spear in his hands. Vaguely, one could see flames swirling around the spear, making it extremely imposing.

Wang Zhan proudly soared into the sky without a trace of fear.

In an instant, the two had already clashed.

Though Huo Xuan Yi was arrogant, his strength was quite formidable, clearly having also reached the level of a Stellar-level expert.

He engaged with Wang Zhan for hundreds of moves without falling behind.

Xiang Tian clenching his fist, continued to shout, "Brother Wang, quickly finish this guy off! This bastard deserves to die!"

"Let this arrogant fool know that there is always someone stronger out there; it’s a good lesson for him!"

Beside them, the Sword Spirit slightly frowned, glanced at the direction behind her, then suddenly transformed into a stream of light and quickly entered the Great Void Divine Sword, using consciousness to communicate with Wang Zhan.

"Do not get caught up in battle."

"Skyfire Mountain’s reinforcements are flying rapidly towards us and they should appear here soon."

"If you continue to engage with him, then all three of you won’t be able to get away."

"Thinking of a way to leave quickly is the best plan!"
