Getting Stronger By Fighting

Xuan Yu might not know what the four Great Protectors of the Tianyin Gate represent, but Luo Xue surely has not forgotten.

The strength of each of these protectors is extremely formidable. Even if Li Du were to fight them, he wouldn’t be able to gain an absolute advantage, let alone the rest of the people present?

In the next moment, Xuan Yu and his people were surrounded.

They had attempted a few times, but they still couldn’t break through the encirclement.

As a figure landed beside them, all their gazes focused on him.

It was Li Du, who should have been fighting a protector in the sky, who had slammed heavily to the ground, his face visibly grim.

Seeing this scene, Luo Xue hurried to Li Du’s side, helping him up, and quickly asked, "How are you holding up?"

"Not very well..."

At this point, Li Du didn’t need to hide anything anymore. He straightforwardly said, "That man’s strength far exceeds my imagination, and now that I’m already seriously injured, I’m no match for him. Since I can’t deal with him, I’m afraid none of you here can easily get rid of him either."

"It seems our situation has become much more difficult. But hasn’t Wang Zhan arrived yet?"

Luo Xue glanced at Xuan Yu beside her and then said calmly, "I suppose Brother Wang already knows about the situation with Tianyin Gate, so he must be on his way to locate experts. He should be here soon to join us, but for now, we need to hold out for a while longer. What I’m more worried about is..."

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Xue continued, "We’re gaining more manpower on our side, and there are more experts among us. I’m worried they’ll get desperate and attack us directly, so we should prepare ourselves in advance."

Li Du nodded firmly, echoing his own thoughts.

After all, the people in Tianyin Gate are very cunning. They would never allow our numbers to grow unchecked. If someone dares to come, an inside-outside pincer would surely break through, making things even more difficult.

Yet, Li Du couldn’t think of any good solutions.

At the same time, more figures appeared in the air.

Li Du slowly raised his head. After glancing at the man wearing purple, red, green, and blue robes, he gritted his teeth and said, "I never expected Tianyin Gate to really go all out this time, with the four Great Protectors coming out together?"

In Tianyin Gate, aside from the unfathomable leader, these four Great Protectors are the most powerful. Now that all four are here, it proves they’re not going to let us go easily...

Li Du struggled to stand up, took a handful of elixirs from his arms, and handed them to those around him, saying, "These are items Wang Zhan and I obtained from the ruins. Take them for now; they might temporarily suppress your injuries."

"But I don’t know if these elixirs have side effects, though. We can’t be concerned about that now. We need to muster all our mental power to seek a sliver of hope for survival. You must have heard Luo Xue’s words just now; Wang Zhan is on his way, and he should reach us soon for our reinforcements."

"As long as we can hold out a bit longer, and once Wang Zhan and his people join us, we can break out of the siege!"

Normally, Li Du seems like a hedonistic wastrel and is never very measured in his words. But now he demonstrates such a big-picture view and cohesion.

As his words fell, everyone gathered around him. Each took an elixir and began to shout in unison.

"Since things have come to this, we have nowhere to retreat. Why not go all out in a battle against them? After all, we are all elite experts from Sky Pavilion, the best of the best. This is a good opportunity for us. Do you remember what Wang Zhan once said?"

"To improve our strength, we need endless battle. Only by battling can we enhance our power. What do you all think?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, clearly ready to face death with valor.

A man in a purple robe in the air coldly looked at them with disdain, sniffing contemptuously, and said dismissively, "A bunch of useless losers even dares to challenge us?"

"If it weren’t for the fact that you still have some value, you wouldn’t even have a chance to live. What a group of foolish idiots..."

After hearing this, the faces of everyone became even gloomier.

But there was no trace of worry on their faces.

Because in their hearts, they held onto the belief that Wang Zhan would soon arrive to join them, at which point they’d break through, and Wang Zhan would help them avenge their blood feud!

"I advise you not to continue your futile resistance, as you’re simply too weak..."

As he spoke, the man in the purple robe slowly raised his hand, and with a light squeeze, even the air began to ripple.

The onlookers covered their mouths in shock, exclaiming, "Crushing the void? Has this man’s strength reached the Star Domain level?"

Crushing the void is something only a Star Domain level expert can do.

If so, he could obliterate them all...

Li Du’s expression became much more grave, "It seems our intelligence was flawed. Over the years, the four Great Protectors rarely appeared, but breaking through isn’t easy. I never thought that they were only Star River level experts before. Only together could they reach the Star Domain realm."

"But now their strength has greatly improved. With just us, there’s no way to gain any advantage..."

"Then what should we do?"

Xuan Yu gritted his teeth. Though he knew Luo Xue and others were surrounded, he didn’t realize their plight. Had he known, he would’ve brought more people.

Yet even if more people came, what could be done?

Without Wang Zhan and Feng Tianci, no one could handle the four Great Protectors. They could dispatch them effortlessly while dealing with us, leaving only increased casualties...

The protector in the air slowly raised both hands and said, "Indeed, I need some hostages, but not so many. So, you all go to your deaths..."

A black beam of light suddenly descended upon them.

Li Du, standing at the forefront, immediately stepped forward, raising his arms to block his chest. A golden shield appeared beside him, blocking the black beam.

The protector above smirked, "Didn’t expect you to have such a magic artifact that could withstand my attack? But this alone is of little use, as you’re nothing but child’s play to me!"

"In that case, let me send you off!"

The next moment, the man soared into the sky, increasing the force in his hands. With a crisp shatter, the shield in front of Li Du broke apart, and he stumbled back, his face paling.

In an instant, his aura weakened significantly.

Clearly, the attack dealt a fatal blow to him.

Had it been anyone else, they would’ve been knocked down.

Xuan Yu and Luo Xue rushed to Li Du’s side, and Luo Xue urgently asked, "How are you holding up? Can you still stand?"

Li Du patted his chest and smiled faintly, confidently saying, "Don’t worry. Even if I’m slightly injured, he can’t harm me."

"Even so, he can’t do anything to me. I can hold on..."

However, Xuan Yu and Luo Xue exchanged glances without speaking, understanding that Li Du had reached his limit. If Li Du continued to clash with the man, there’d be only a dead end...

The protector in the air spoke again, "Is this all you’ve got? And you still wish to protect your people? It’s truly laughable, as if you see yourself as a savior?"

"I’ll wipe them all out right in front of you, showing you that your useless bunch is nothing but ants to me—ridiculous and ignorant!"
