Getting Stronger By Fighting

Wang Zhan and his companion exchanged a glance, then quickly headed towards the entrance. They knew that once the barrier was activated, leaving here would naturally become much more difficult.

But since things had already reached this point, they had no other plans. Leaving here was their only option.

They couldn’t just die here for nothing.

Standing aside, the Water Demon showed no intention of letting them go. He quickly appeared behind Wang Zhan and his companion, and continued, "You’re already planning to leave? When you came here just now, you seemed full of ambition, but now it seems quite laughable..."

"With this strength today, I really don’t know where you get your confidence from. I don’t want to waste words with you. Next, I’ll show you what real world-destroying power is."

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the sky, and a giant water dragon crashed down towards the two of them.

"The same old trick?"

Wang Zhan muttered to himself and then gritted his teeth, saying, "That damn bastard!"

Suddenly, with a loud bang, Wang Zhan was slammed heavily to the ground, without the strength to get up. Clearly, he needed to recover a bit first. The Sword Spirit quickly stood in front of Wang Zhan, looking intently at the Water Demon before them.

No matter the circumstances, he could not easily give up on Wang Zhan.

After all, the reason he was alive was entirely due to Wang Zhan, and he had to show gratitude.

The Water Demon stepped closer to the two of them, full of disdain, saying, "I see your strength is not bad, while this man is much weaker than you. So, I’ll give you a chance. If you’re willing to turn to my side, I might spare you. But if you persist in your foolishness, I’ll send you both on your way to the Western Heaven."

The Sword Spirit gritted his teeth, showing no emotion in the face of the Water Demon’s threat, instead speaking with determination, "Wang Zhan and I are comrades in arms. Even if it means death, we will die together. Who are you to threaten me? If you’ve got what it takes, go ahead and make your move..."

The Sword Spirit braced himself, ready to strike at any moment.

He glanced back at Wang Zhan and quickly said, "I’ll try to hold him off for you. Use this time to recover your strength. If you can regain your peak power, we might escape from here unharmed, and that bastard won’t be able to do anything to us."

Wang Zhan nodded and began to meditate. Having been ambushed by the Water Demon, he was injured, and it was impossible to fully recover in such a short time. But as long as he felt better, he could continue to stall the Water Demon.

"Then die."

The Water Demon had lost all patience. Just as he was about to strike, his gaze fell upon the Demon-suppressing Stone in midair, and his eyes suddenly gleamed.

In an instant, the corners of the Water Demon’s mouth twitched, and he ignored Wang Zhan and his companion. He quickly headed towards the Demon-suppressing Stone, reaching it instantly.

"Wonderful, the energy has been completely activated during our battle. Now, the heavens have given me a chance to get out of here. Neither of you can stop me this time!"

With a thunderous roar, the ground shook, and beams of white light converged rapidly onto the Water Demon’s body.

"What’s he doing?"

Wang Zhan glanced at the Sword Spirit, having regained much of his strength after a brief recovery, though not back to peak form, making him no match for the Water Demon.

Wang Zhan’s face darkened, not knowing what scheme the Water Demon was up to, but feeling the oppressive force from above.

The Sword Spirit slightly frowned and continued, "I think he’s trying to use the Demon-suppressing Stone to break the barrier and make his escape!"

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Wang Zhan’s lips, and he said, "That means he won’t focus on us. If we hold out here, he’ll break open the barrier, so we won’t be trapped in this struggle anymore."

Ha...

The Sword Spirit gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and said, "Things aren’t as simple as you think. If he breaks the barrier, the entire Dragon Clan will be in deep trouble, and we definitely can’t let him succeed that easily!"

"At the very least, we need to stop him here and delay him as much as possible."

Wang Zhan paused, considering his ties with the Dragon Clan and the Azure Dragon Venerable. He didn’t want to see the Dragon Clan suffer, so after a moment of hesitation, he nodded and said, "In that case, let’s strike together and see if we can find his weak spot for a lethal blow."

The two exchanged looks and nodded.

Suddenly, Wang Zhan soared into the sky, ready to attack, and the Sword Spirit quickly followed.

But just as they were about to strike, a massive white light screen appeared in front of them, blocking their way without giving them a chance to advance.

As the light screen appeared, Wang Zhan and his companion immediately tried to shatter it, but after some attempts, the light screen remained unchanged, and they failed to break through it.

Seeing this, the Sword Spirit slightly frowned and calmly said, "It seems this light screen isn’t as simple as we thought. It must be the work of the Demon-suppressing Stone. You’ve likely lost your connection with it by now."

Initially, with the Azure Dragon Venerable’s help, the Demon-suppressing Stone was Wang Zhan’s possession and even a treasure of his. But now the Water Demon had taken control of it, severing Wang Zhan’s connection. How could he maintain a link with it?

Wang Zhan hesitated, attempted to recite the incantation, but received no response. He looked at the Sword Spirit, troubled, and said, "As you suspected, there’s a rift between me and the Stone, and I can’t reclaim it fully. It seems the Water Demon has cut off our link, making it his own. What now?"

The Demon-suppressing Stone, meant to suppress demonic creatures, could become a tool for evil if tainted by Demonic Qi. Wang Zhan was at a clear disadvantage compared to the Water Demon, so reclaiming it wasn’t easy.

Wang Zhan’s face darkened, understanding the dire consequences if the Water Demon fully possessed the Stone.

But they were powerless and unsure of their next move.

The Sword Spirit glanced at Wang Zhan and instructed, "Given the situation, we should quietly meditate and recover our strength. When the barrier breaks, there will be another battle."

With this in mind, Wang Zhan nodded in agreement, realizing the wisdom in the Sword Spirit’s perspective. When the barrier breaks, they might have allies, as the Dragon Clan wouldn’t stand by idly.

If they allied with the Dragon Clan members, dealing with the Water Demon wouldn’t be an insurmountable challenge.

But it was just his thought, as the Water Demon might have other trump cards.

Meanwhile, outside the barrier.

Led by the Black Dragon Clan Leader, all the Dragon Clan members stood by, feeling the tremors beneath them, the Leader gritted his teeth, "Could those two have really stopped the Water Demon?"

The others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with excitement.

During this time, they had always been under the Water Demon’s threat, never knowing when he might emerge. If the Water Demon broke through the barrier, their situation would become dire.

If Wang Zhan could truly resolve the Water Demon issue, it would be a significant aid to them.

Unfortunately, as everyone was filled with excitement, a loud noise echoed in their ears, making all their faces turn grim.
