Getting Stronger By Fighting

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan was already in front of the Sword Spirit, speaking coldly, "If I operate the Demon-suppressing Stone, it will affect my speed of attack, thus reducing my combat effectiveness..."

"So, I have decided to temporarily abandon the Demon-suppressing Stone. Then, with you and me joining forces, perhaps we can still contend with this guy in front of us."

The Sword Spirit glanced at the Demon-suppressing Stone floating in mid-air, his face involuntarily turned a few shades darker, and immediately frowned as he said, "But, you no longer have the Great Void Divine Sword. Your overall strength is rapidly declining, and without the Demon-suppressing Stone to help fight, you have no ability to contend with the Water Demon..."

"It’s even hard to protect yourself."

In an instant, the Sword Spirit’s face also became much darker. He quickly said, "Go ahead and continue operating the Demon-suppressing Stone. Even if you cannot exert the full power of the Demon-suppressing Stone, you must use it to suppress the Water Demon in front of us."

"His strength far exceeds what we imagined. Without the help of the Demon-suppressing Stone, you and I cannot stop him. All hopes are pinned on you now. You absolutely cannot let anything happen."

Though the Sword Spirit’s strength far surpasses Wang Zhan’s, the Azure Dragon Venerable helped them obliterate the consciousness on the Demon-suppressing Stone, linking Wang Zhan to the Stone. In other words, the Demon-suppressing Stone now regards Wang Zhan as its master.

Hence, even if the Sword Spirit wanted to intervene, there would be no effect...

Wang Zhan, standing aside, gritted his teeth, his face extremely tense. He tightly clenched his fist and said word by word, "If I don’t step forward to help, how could you possibly withstand him?"

Recently, Wang Zhan had been watching the two in the combat zone. The Water Demon’s strength far exceeded his expectations. Even the Sword Spirit couldn’t contend with the Water Demon, yet the Sword Spirit still delayed the Water Demon here. Continuing to drag on would certainly impact the Sword Spirit, and a slight mistake could damage his body.

The Sword Spirit hasn’t fully activated the Glaze Crystal Body and Divine Heart power yet. His strength is somewhat hindered, so Wang Zhan naturally worries about the Sword Spirit’s condition.

Thinking of all this, Wang Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "In such a short time, I can’t fully activate the power of the Demon-suppressing Stone. So stop wasting time with me. Let’s join forces, use every means we have, and maybe we can contend with the Water Demon in front of us. If we keep delaying, both of us will be doomed."

"Have you now made up your minds yet?"

The Water Demon in mid-air glanced impatiently at the two, sneering, "Just two useless losers who think they can wield the power of the Demon-suppressing Stone. Do you really think you are invincible?"

"To be honest, even if you manage to use the power of the Demon-suppressing Stone, you still won’t stop my advance because you two are too weak, almost like ants in my eyes!"

Wang Zhan slightly frowned, never having been underestimated like this before.

"You damn bastard!"

With a roar, Wang Zhan shot skyward, charging at the Water Demon.

Now he couldn’t afford to hesitate. He must fight alongside the Sword Spirit to ensure his safety.

The Sword Spirit hesitated for a moment, wanting to speak but recognizing Wang Zhan seems resolved.

In no time, the Sword Spirit was already at Wang Zhan’s side, battling shoulder to shoulder with him.

The Water Demon looked on with a chill in his eyes, sneering, "And what of your joint effort? You still think you stand a chance against me?"

In the next second, the Water Demon leaped upward, conjuring water dragons that appeared out of thin air, fiercely striking at Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit.

Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit retreated swiftly, their faces unconsciously growing dark.

"I never expected the Water Demon’s strength to exceed what we imagined, there’s still such a great gap between us, truly terrifying..."

"But merely depending on this means, you can’t take us down!"

Wang Zhan’s lips curled into a smile, raising his fists in defense. With a loud bang, he was knocked backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Momentarily, Wang Zhan’s face grew darker. He clutched his chest while rising from the ground, glancing at the Sword Spirit standing aside. He then frowned and said, "It’s truly frustrating, this guy is far more troublesome than we imagined, even I’m not necessarily his match..."

The Sword Spirit’s lips curved into a faint smile, despite the battle looming. He managed to keep his composure and said, "He’s certainly not as simple as you think, and even our combined strength can’t be his match. I sense he’s been suppressed somewhat, having been trapped here so long, but it’s his main Battlefield, giving him certain advantages."

"Even with us joining forces, we’re naturally not his match!"

"But I have thought of a way to deal with him, which is..."

Suddenly, the Sword Spirit flashed a devious grin, immediately saying, "Use your Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation against him. His power hasn’t fully recovered, and his abilities are all water-based, which you’re definitely able to suppress. You could completely crush him!"

Wang Zhan nodded heavily, hesitated no longer, clasping his hands together as fiery longswords rained down from the Sky, surrounding the Water Demon tightly.

The Water Demon slightly frowned, his face markedly darkened, and suddenly roared, "You’re both smarter than I thought, even using formation techniques to stall me. Though it affects me slightly, such ways won’t kill me—that’s just ridiculous."

As the Water Demon spoke, a loud explosion interrupted him, fiery longswords shattering across the sky, losing their previous stance.

The recent sword formation appeared able to suppress the Water Demon, yet the sudden change shocked Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit, none expecting such an outcome...

In an instant, Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit regrouped, and the Sword Spirit’s gaze fell on Wang Zhan, frowning, "It seems my method wasn’t effective..."

"If we only use brute force, there’s still a significant gap between our strengths, clearly not his match. We need a better strategy..."

"But I’m not skilled in fire-based methods. Dragging this out may lead us to be exhausted to death..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan’s face also turned darker, glancing instinctively at the Sword Spirit, asking anxiously, "What’s your plan now?"

Now all hopes rest with the Sword Spirit; otherwise, they could barely escape intact.

The Sword Spirit slightly squinted his eyes, hesitating for a while, then resolutely said, "Since we’re here, we must stay calm. Let’s not waste any more time, burst out of this formation, and find a way to defeat the enemy?"

Wang Zhan hesitated briefly, lips curling into a helpless smile, quickly saying, "Trying to leave now is near impossible, plus you’ve already seen the surrounding sealed. Getting out isn’t easy, so let’s seek other solutions, leaving us vulnerable if followed by him during escape..."

Momentarily, Wang Zhan was plunged into hesitation.

Meanwhile, the Water Demon showed no mercy, instantly shot skyward, audaciously standing before Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit. The Water Demon raised his finger gradually, sending an energy beam that struck them severely. Before Wang Zhan could react, a heavy blow had landed, and both retreated several steps, crashing hard to the ground.

With only one move, Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit were gravely injured.

The Sword Spirit crawled up from the ground, gritting his teeth, "We didn’t expect to be caught off guard like this. We’ve underestimated things. Let’s not delay further; we must leave quickly!"

Dragging things further means neither can leave here safely.

Wang Zhan realized this too, nodding firmly, promptly saying, "Actually, I have similar thoughts. Continuing here gains us nothing."
