Getting Stronger By Fighting

After Wang Zhan glanced into the distance, he finally spoke slowly, "An old friend has come from outside. I need to go say hello to him. You don’t need to inform the people around us; just let everything proceed as usual."

Zuo Linglong nodded, but just as she was about to leave, she suddenly turned her head back, looked at Wang Zhan, and bit her lip as she said, "If I didn’t sense wrong, it should be Song Tianyang who’s rushing over, right? Or maybe Luo Junce? That’s why you want to go meet him alone? Because you’re worried everyone else will be anxious?"

Wang Zhan was stunned for a moment. He took a few more glances at Zuo Linglong, then helplessly scratched his head before speaking to himself, "I originally wanted to hide it from you, but I didn’t expect you, girl, to be so sharp. You actually saw through the crux of the matter at a glance."

"But since that’s the case, I won’t hide anything from you. Although my strength has improved to a certain extent, I still don’t know what level that guy has reached now, so of course I won’t rashly lead everyone into a fight with him."

"If we can get rid of Song Tianyang, that would be good for everyone. But if we can’t, then everyone will be thrown into anxiety. So I think you understand what I’m thinking—I naturally plan to go face him by myself."

Zuo Linglong hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

She also understood Wang Zhan’s painstaking intentions very well.

But after hesitating for a long time, Zuo Linglong opened her mouth again and said, "Master, then I’ll stay in the cave the whole time and keep waiting for your news. If you can come back, I’ll follow you down the mountain to meet everyone. But if you can’t come back... then I’ll just stay here forever..."

"Because I don’t even know how to explain things to them, and I’m not good at lying. If they notice something, I’m worried it’ll affect your plan..."

"So I’ll just stay here."

Wang Zhan nodded. The corner of his mouth lifted into a faint smile as he patted Zuo Linglong’s shoulder and continued, "I know you’re worried about me too, but put that worry away. Song Tianyang’s strength has far exceeded our imagination, but it’s still within a controllable range. If we clash head-on, even if I’m not his match, I should at least be able to retreat intact."

"It’s just that I don’t know what level he’s reached, so I want to go test him."

Zuo Linglong didn’t speak. Even though Wang Zhan sounded relaxed, she still knew all too well how troublesome this matter was.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan had already headed out of the cave.

Given Wang Zhan’s strength, even though he needed to cross through the Sky Pavilion, he didn’t alarm anyone. Very soon, he had already reached outside the Sky Pavilion and was quickly heading in one direction.

Because he had already sensed Song Tianyang’s aura just now, and once one’s strength reached Wang Zhan’s level, such a sense wouldn’t be mistaken. So as long as he followed this direction, he would likely meet Song Tianyang in the shortest time.

But just as Wang Zhan had taken a few steps, he suddenly stopped. He glanced behind him and saw a phantom form in the void, and the Sword Spirit slowly walked out from within that phantom.

"Teleportation?"

Wang Zhan looked at the Sword Spirit in puzzlement, his eyes full of surprise.

The Sword Spirit, however, showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. His complexion seemed much improved; clearly, over this past month, the Sword Spirit had also recovered his strength.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhan quickly walked up to him and directly hugged the Sword Spirit, then laughed and said, "I knew it, you were never going to let me down."

"If I could bring my own state back to its peak, I figured you could too. Since that’s the case, we don’t need to analyze much. I can see your strength has improved greatly; you must have already awakened the power of the Divine Heart and the Glaze Crystal Body."

"In the time to come, you can fully become my right-hand man."

"But I didn’t expect you to actually manage teleportation already. Does that mean you can go wherever you want now? If you could take me along, that’d save us a lot of time."

The Sword Spirit only shook his head, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he continued, "Although I’ve healed my injuries, my strength hasn’t improved that much. And even with teleportation, I can only teleport to your side, because I can sense your aura. After all, I was originally the sword soul of the longsword in your hand."

"So there’s a certain connection between us, and that’s the only reason I can do this..."

After those words, Wang Zhan’s expression grew much more serious. He frowned slightly, then helplessly shook his head before continuing, "Looks like I was overthinking it..."

"I thought that with you by my side, I wouldn’t have to worry about anything else. But now it seems that since your strength hasn’t improved to a certain level, we still can’t easily go ’have a look’ at Song Tianyang..."

"You should have sensed that familiar aura too, right?"

Since Wang Zhan could sense Song Tianyang’s arrival, the Sword Spirit naturally could as well.

Sure enough, after looking in the distance, the Sword Spirit gave a faint nod and continued, "I have indeed already felt that guy’s arrival. I have to say, his speed is far beyond our imagination..."

"And I can also feel that Song Tianyang has already been completely Demonized. Although he still retains his own consciousness, most of him has been taken over by the demons inside his body, and that body of his should have already become the demons’ possession."

"That’s the most troublesome point for us..."

"If we can’t get rid of Song Tianyang as soon as possible, we’ll end up in a dilemma ourselves."

Beside him, Wang Zhan nodded and continued, "Don’t worry. With the two of us joining forces, even if we can’t completely kill Song Tianyang, we can still stand against him. In the time to come, you don’t need to worry about anything else. If things truly become desperate, you leave immediately."

"But rest assured, I’m not going to play the hero this time. I know Song Tianyang’s targets are the two of us. When it comes to that, I won’t linger; I’ll retreat at once."

"As long as the two of us leave, we can ensure the safety of everyone Inside Tian Pavilion."

After the Sword Spirit gave his assent, he followed Wang Zhan’s steps, quickly heading into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, after traversing hundreds of li, the two of them noticed a figure ahead.

The person in front of them seemed to also be hurrying along, but the moment he saw Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit, he stopped immediately, his face turning much uglier. He frowned slightly, "Didn’t expect you’d actually dare come looking for me on your own?"

"How amusing..."

Indeed, the person standing before Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit was none other than Song Tianyang.

Wang Zhan folded his arms and said indifferently, "I didn’t expect you to have completely become a puppet of the demons. You used to be a pretty renowned existence. Do you think this does right by yourself?"

"Even without relying on the demons’ power, if you were given more time, your strength would naturally have improved further. Yet you insisted on choosing this shortcut. Don’t you know the price of taking such a shortcut?"

Upon hearing this, Song Tianyang’s face twisted with ferocity. He clenched his fist tightly and shot Wang Zhan a cold look before roaring, "You bastard, you still have the nerve to say that to me? If it wasn’t for the two of you shattering my body back then, and almost crushing my Primordial Deity, how could I have possibly handed myself over to the demons?"

"The reason I ended up like this is entirely because you forced me here. The funniest thing is that you two bastards don’t even realize it!"

Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit exchanged a look, but neither spoke further.

No matter the justification, Song Tianyang had still sold himself out.

"Now, even if you want to obtain the Glaze Crystal Body and the Divine Heart, it’s already impossible..."

Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on the Sword Spirit as he continued, "You should be able to see it yourself: the Sword Spirit has completely fused the power of the Divine Heart and the Glaze Crystal Body. Even if you want to find some way to draw those two powers out, that’s impossible now. So I’ll give you a piece of advice—don’t waste your time in the days to come."

"If you insist on making a move against the two of us, then under our joint assault, I doubt you’ll gain anything good out of it. If it ends in mutual destruction, wouldn’t all your efforts have been for nothing?"

Heh...

As soon as Wang Zhan’s words fell, he heard Song Tianyang let out a cold laugh. Song Tianyang enunciated each word as he said, "I have to admit, you two really are my lucky stars. Before, maybe I could only fight you to a draw, but now I’ve not only fully Demonized this body, I’ve also absorbed Luo Junce’s cultivation and obtained the Demon-suppressing Stone."

"Only after we cross blows will you know how terrifying my strength is now, and how laughable the two of you have become!"
