Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 969 - 967: Arriving in Time

Xuan Yu’s face was also extremely grim.He originally intended to bring everyone here to buy some time, just to wait for Wang Zhan to come and support them.

But what he never expected was that the enemy’s power was so formidable, even bringing everyone here wouldn’t turn the tide, and it also trapped his companions in a siege.

The most hateful thing now is that the enemy is slandering him here, truly hateful.

Meanwhile, Luo Xue quickly grabbed Xuan Yu’s arm and urgently said, "Don’t argue with them, we must conserve our strength and delay as much time as possible. I believe Brother Wang might be on his way. If we can buy some time, we should be able to wait for Brother Wang’s arrival."

"Once Brother Wang arrives on the battlefield, these people will have to pay the corresponding price."

The people nearby all nodded in agreement, clearly sharing the same sentiment.

After all, no one wants to risk their life.

Standing to the side, Li Du crossed his arms and chuckled, "Hearing this kid’s words, I feel much better. I’m in this predicament for you guys. If Wang Zhan stands by and does nothing, I’d be really upset..."

A few people glanced at each other and then laughed together.

Clearly, they could all tell he was just joking.

The protector hovering in midair spoke again, "I really didn’t expect, even in such a situation, you can still laugh—a bunch of optimistic losers, truly amusing!"

As he spoke, the protector raised his hand slowly, then glanced at the other three protectors and said again, "Don’t waste time; let’s act together and quickly eliminate these losers before anything changes!"

"As long as we leave a few behind, I’m sure that guy Wang Zhan will rush over, and by then we can finish him off, sending him and his companions on their way!"

Clearly, they had meticulously planned everything.

In an instant, the other protectors moved to the front protector, and the four joined forces to attack.

Though all four were Star River level experts, combined, they could contend with a Star Domain level expert.

Seeing the imminent attack, Li Du and the others’ faces darkened, and Li Du spoke first, "Looks like we can’t wait for Wang Zhan anymore; these guys are already desperate to kill us quickly, so we can’t just sit here and wait."

"I will lead the charge and guide everyone out of the encirclement. No matter how many can escape, someone must get out alive; we can’t let these bastards succeed!"

Everyone nodded in agreement and quickly followed Li Du’s lead.

But just a few steps out, Luo Xue quickly grabbed Li Du’s arm and said through gritted teeth, "You just fought the protector and are seriously injured; continuing to tussle with them isn’t beneficial for you, and I’m worried your body can’t take it."

"In that case, let Xuan Yu and I lead; although we’re not as strong as you, you’re injured now and should be on par with us."

Hearing this, Li Du was touched, clearly seeing Luo Xue’s concern, but his resolve remained firm as he said, "Don’t worry, they’re just a bunch of useless losers who poses no threat to me."

"Besides, when have women ever led the way?"

Before Luo Xue could continue, Li Du had already charged into the distance.

Meanwhile, the four protectors in midair showed no interest; though seeing their breakout attempt, their gazes remained indifferent.

Then one protector raised his finger, and a beam of Golden Light descended upon them.

With one initiating the attack, the other protectors displayed their skills.

Clearly, they did not intend to let the group leave safely.

At this moment, Li Du and the others engaged with their opponents, already at a disadvantage, and now with the protectors’ help, their situation worsened.

Seeing the protectors’ attacks approach, Luo Xue and Xuan Yu exchanged a glance and prepared to block.

After all, with Li Du already seriously injured, the two of them stood out in strength and needed to shield the group, ensuring everyone didn’t suffer along with them.

The next second, with a loud bang, the attacks of several protectors instantly turned into bubbles.

Meanwhile, Xuan Yu and another person did not take action either.

Everyone was stunned.

"What’s going on?"

Li Du also widened his eyes, clearly not understanding what was happening.

In this situation, it was obvious that someone was helping.

Standing in mid-air, several protectors looked at each other in the same way. One of them gritted his teeth and slowly said, "Could it be that an expert has arrived? Could it be that guy named Wang Zhan?"

"But even if it’s him, how could his strength be so terrifying? What we just displayed had already reached the level of Star Domain experts. With the four of us working together, even the master wouldn’t dare to easily engage us. How could anyone easily extinguish our attacks?"

Thinking about these things, their expressions worsened significantly, and they slowly lifted their heads, gazing toward the Sky.

Suddenly, several figures appeared in front of Luo Xue.

Upon seeing the man standing in front of them, Luo Xue rushed over excitedly, hugging his arm, and gritting her teeth, she said, "Brother Wang, you finally made it."

Wang Zhan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I’m still a bit late, but it’s not my fault. If it weren’t for this old fellow next to me who kept dawdling, I would have arrived a few minutes earlier."

Feng Tianci, nearby, remained silent with his arms crossed, but his gaze was fixed on the four in mid-air.

In fact, the one who intervened just now was not Wang Zhan, but Feng Tianci in front of them.

After all, at that level, even if Wang Zhan acted, he would need to use a significant amount of his trump cards. But it’s not the last moment yet, so why reveal his trump cards?

Moreover, the few people in front of them were not a match for Feng Tianci, so there was no need to go to such trouble.

Li Du, standing to the side, walked over to Wang Zhan, raised his fist, and punched Wang Zhan’s chest, a faint smile breaking on his lips as he said, "I thought I was going to die here. I didn’t expect to run into you here again. It seems heaven is on my side."

"But after this is over, you better compensate me. If it weren’t for me staying here to help, these people around you might have already died."

Luo Xue lowered her head and said nothing.

If not for his poor strength, how could he have been trapped so deeply?

But it must be said, without other help, their situation would indeed have been much more precarious, and there wouldn’t be many people left around...

Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on Li Du, then he laughed and said, "Are you already here to claim credit and rewards from me?"

"Of course, I think you should know what kind of person I am, I definitely don’t make a loss."

The people present all showed disdainful expressions.

Wang Zhan shook his head and smiled. He hadn’t interacted with Li Du much, but he had a basic understanding of him. How could the Li Du in front of him be the sort of person he claimed to be?

If he were a profit-driven person, he certainly wouldn’t be standing here now. After all, if not for Li Du’s help, everyone’s situation would be much more difficult.

Li Du indeed turned the tide, risking his life in the process.

Wang Zhan patted Li Du on the shoulder, then smiled and said, "Don’t worry, once everything is resolved, I’ll take you back to the Sky Pavilion. Not only will you receive unparalleled glory, but you’ll also get a satisfactory reward. I won’t let you help my people for nothing."

Li Du’s mouth curled into a faint smile, then he nodded. He was just joking with Wang Zhan; he didn’t really care about those things.

In an instant, Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on the four people in the Sky.

Meanwhile, Feng Tianci next to him slightly squinted his eyes, noticing Wang Zhan getting closer, he spoke again with a faint tone, "You always encounter tough opponents, these people’s strength is not simple."

"If I hadn’t arrived, you might really not be a match for them."
