Getting Stronger By Fighting

Standing to one side and remaining silent all along, Li Du slowly stepped forward.

He glanced at Luo Junce with his arms crossed, then spoke calmly: "Count me in."

"You people from Tianyin Gate almost pushed me to a dead end. If it hadn’t been for Wang Zhan’s timely appearance, I wouldn’t even know how to make a safe retreat. Since that’s the case, this account needs to be settled."

Suddenly, an imposing aura burst forth from Li Du.

Among everyone present, the most powerful were naturally Feng Tianci and Luo Junce. Although Li Du was not their equal, he followed closely behind, being relatively strong compared to the others inside the Sky Pavilion.

Everyone exchanged glances, and all eyes fell on Li Du.

Luo Junce’s lips curled into a cold smile. He squinted slightly, then spoke coolly: "I remember you, bastard. Wasn’t it you and Wang Zhan who entered the ruins together? I suppose you’ve seen the Divine Heart too, right?"

"My purpose here is very simple. If you are willing to hand over the Divine Heart, perhaps I will leave, sparing us all from bloodshed. But if you don’t prepare to hand it over, I’ll level the Sky Pavilion and then seize the Divine Heart from both of you."

Li Du snorted through his nose and stepped forward, not bothering with Luo Junce’s words. Instead, he turned to Feng Tianci and said directly: "I’ll help you hold off that big python in a while."

"As for Luo Junce, you can handle him yourself. Shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

Though the Sky-suppressing Python is merely a Spirit Beast, its strength is incredibly formidable. If it charges into the Sky Pavilion’s ranks, it would be as if there were no one there to stop it.

Even Li Du might not be able to crush the Sky-suppressing Python completely, since his injuries have yet to fully heal. Although he has been trying to regulate his body during this time,

and has even absorbed all the elixirs he found in the ruins, his strength hasn’t returned to its peak, showing how severe his injuries are.

On the side, Feng Tianci nodded. In fact, he had just been contemplating how to separate Luo Junce from the Sky-suppressing Python and the Guards Battalion. If the three could be isolated, Luo Junce’s strength could swiftly decline.

This would definitely benefit him.

Without the help of the Sky-suppressing Python and the Guards Battalion, Feng Tianci was absolutely confident in slaying Luo Junce. Once he quickly dealt with him, he could then defeat the Sky-suppressing Python and the Guards Battalion one by one. As for the other members of Tianyin Gate, they posed little obstacle.

He didn’t even bother considering them.

"Just you?"

Luo Junce’s lips formed a cold smile. He waved at the others and said lightly: "I’ll go meet them first, and you all stay put."

"If their people decide to intervene, you’ll have time to react."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Although they all wanted to fight the people in the Sky Pavilion, keeping the overall situation in mind was more important now.

All of them understood Luo Junce’s intentions; the previous battle had already cost the Tianyin Gate a significant loss of manpower, so they needed to preserve their strength now.

After all, even if they obtained the Divine Heart, they needed to return to the Tianyin Gate quickly, not knowing what dangers could lie on the path, or who might be hiding in the shadows. If someone suddenly blocked their way, they might not even have the strength to fight.

So, concealing strength was necessary now.

Meanwhile, Feng Tianci also smiled faintly, clearly they were already in unspoken agreement.

Turning back to look at the crowd, Feng Tianci said in the same manner: "Since their people are not preparing to act, then everyone hold your positions, and don’t advance rashly."

"Let Li Du and me test the strength of Luo Junce, the Sky-suppressing Python, and the Guards Battalion first. As for other matters, we’ll address them later."

Inwardly, everyone was filled with emotion.

They all knew that whoever took the lead at that moment was undoubtedly risking their life, though Feng Tianci and Li Du were extremely formidable. Yet, confronting all three was no easy task.

Xiang Tian, standing to the side, was the first to step forward, frowning as he spoke, "There are so many hands in your Guards Battalion. Since the battalion is already prepared to battle, we can’t let Li Du and Feng Tianci fight alone."

"I’ll lend a hand too."

The members within the Guards Battalion, though individually not very strong, when combined, their strength far exceeds imagination. Even Feng Tianci finds dealing with them somewhat troublesome.

Hearing this, Luo Junce’s mouth curled into a faint smile, then he broke his silence, saying, "Since you’re seeking death, I’ll naturally oblige."

Luo Xue, who was nearby, quickly walked to Xiang Tian’s side and urgently said, "Are you joking? Do you not know the formidable strength of the Guards Battalion? Feng Tianci is already preparing to deal with Luo Junce, and Li Du needs to focus on the Sky-suppressing Python. As for the battalion, it’s beyond your capability to handle."

"Then what can be done?"

A resolute look appeared in Xiang Tian’s eyes. Clenching his fist, he frowned and spoke, "We’re originally part of the Sky Pavilion, and Feng Tianci and Li Du are only here to help us. Although Brother Wang is not here, we can’t just watch others sacrifice for us in vain."

"The Guards Battalion stands by, always a scourge for the two of them. If they suddenly act, they may sway the battlefield’s situation. If I can help hold them off temporarily, perhaps we can turn the tide."

The next moment, Feng Tianci came to Xiang Tian’s side, looking at him with gratitude before patting Xiang Tian’s shoulder and saying, "I know you also want to share some of the responsibility, but the strength of the Guards Battalion is far beyond what you imagine, so best avoid engaging them lightly."

"Don’t worry, Li Du and I should be able to withstand it. As long as I can kill Luo Junce shortly, they’ll be scattered like sand and collapse even without attacking."

Nearby, Li Du nodded. He took out another elixir from his pocket, swallowed it, and then said casually, "My strength has recovered to eighty to ninety percent, so facing them shouldn’t easily put me at a disadvantage. Plus, with Feng Tianci by my side, there shouldn’t be any major issues."

"I know you’re all well-intentioned, but better stand quietly by and stabilize the situation for us."

Xiang Tian wanted to say something else, but Feng Tianci interrupted with a smile, "Alright, that’s the decision then."

Xiang Tian sighed helplessly and turned his face aside.

Luo Junce, on the other hand, impatiently spoke, "What are you all muttering about over there? Are you going to act or not? If not, stop wasting my time."

Li Du coldly replied, "I’m not afraid you won’t fight, useless losers, prepare to die!"

The next second, Luo Junce suddenly leaped into the air, rapidly rushing towards Feng Tianci, clearly intending to kill him with a single blow.

Unfortunately, although his strength was on par with Feng Tianci’s, Feng Tianci hadn’t used his hidden trump card. Having his own plans, Feng Tianci knows that if he wants revenge, he must first address the immediate situation.

Soon the two were intertwined.

Just as the Sky-suppressing Python prepared to act, Li Du swiftly moved to its side, giving it a condescending look before coldly saying, "Useless big guy, your opponent is right here!"

The Sky-suppressing Python, proficient in understanding human nature, couldn’t speak but understood Li Du’s intentions. In the next second, it charged swiftly towards Li Du.

Soon, the four were engaged in battle.

Meanwhile, everyone present stood quietly, waiting for an outcome.

But the Guards Battalion remained unmoved.

Seeing this, Luo Xue slightly squinted, glanced at Dong Tianlei beside her, and inquired, "By logic, the Guards Battalion should act immediately, holding the advantage in numbers. Everyone desires a swift victory in battle. Why aren’t they making a move?"

Dong Tianlei crossed his arms, his face turning cold. After scrutinizing the battle for a while, he frowned and said, "In my view, the Guards Battalion isn’t reluctant to act, but they await an opportunity. Not knowing who is stronger, any move might turn the battlefield’s situation."

"They’re waiting for a chance, possibly to act as soon as someone falters."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xue instantly understood.

Xiang Tian, standing nearby, said with arms folded, "In any case, I don’t want to meddle too much now. If he insists on acting, I’ll immediately help out, ensuring Li Du and Feng Tianci aren’t disadvantaged."

Everyone nodded in agreement.
