Getting Stronger By Fighting

As the Demon-suppressing Stone appeared, the expressions on everyone’s faces turned much grimmer.

Although Wang Zhan could feel the intimidation the Demon-suppressing Stone exerted on people, he was not clear on what exactly the stone was.

His gaze fell on the Sword Spirit beside him, and then he slowly asked, "What is this Demon-suppressing Stone? Is it very powerful?"

The Sword Spirit nodded, his face already a picture of extreme ugliness, and he spoke with a frown, "The Demon-suppressing Stone was originally something that subjugated those demons, considered a sacred object. Neither demonic beasts nor beasts dared to touch it lightly."

"But now that Luo Junce holds it in his hands, it proves that the Demon-suppressing Stone has been demonized, or even completely tainted by Demonic Qi, losing its original function..."

"In this case, this Demon-suppressing Stone has lost its effect too."

"However, I can sense that the Demon-suppressing Stone can even enhance Luo Junce’s cultivation. Didn’t you notice that his power has surged since the Demon-suppressing Stone emerged?"

"It has even changed significantly..."

In an instant, Wang Zhan’s face turned much grimmer. Even he himself could feel the terrifying intimidation emanating from the Demon-suppressing Stone.

"Do you have a way to counter this thing?"

Now, Wang Zhan’s Great Void Divine Sword has been shattered, and his strength has been diminished to a certain extent, so he didn’t have the capability to confront the man before him head-on.

If Luo Junce truly utilized the Demon-suppressing Stone, their situation would become particularly dire.

Wang Zhan frowned slightly, and his expression had also become much more serious.

Although they had already controlled the battlefield, if they couldn’t eliminate Luo Junce, they would remain in an extremely dangerous position...

Time ticked away second by second.

Meanwhile, the Sword Spirit standing beside him gritted his teeth hard, his face involuntarily becoming a few shades uglier.

The Sword Spirit stared at the Demon-suppressing Stone for quite a while before gritting his teeth and saying, "Now his body has already suffered a certain impact, and his strength has improved greatly. Presumably at this moment, he cannot fully unleash the power within the Demon-suppressing Stone. We might still be able to fight him taking advantage of this opportunity."

A hint of worry appeared on Wang Zhan’s face.

But since things had come to this, and they were ready to confront Luo Junce head-on, there was no need to dwell too much on anything else.

In any case, they absolutely could not retreat even half a step easily.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan suddenly shot into the sky and immediately charged toward Luo Junce.

Upon seeing this scene, the Sword Spirit’s face changed dramatically, and he quickly asked, "What are you messing around with?"

His strength was far superior to Wang Zhan’s, so naturally, he should take the lead in such a situation to minimize casualties on their side.

Yet he never expected that Wang Zhan would take the initiative to attack at this moment.

However, the Sword Spirit understood that Wang Zhan was only considering his well-being. At this point, anyone confronting Luo Junce head-on would suffer a certain degree of damage. With Wang Zhan’s strength, how could he be Luo Junce’s match?

The Sword Spirit dared not waste any more time; he suddenly ascended into the air and cooperated with Wang Zhan.

Evidently, only by working together would they potentially change the current situation.

In the blink of an eye, the Sword Spirit had already positioned himself in front of Wang Zhan and, together with Wang Zhan, launched an attack on Luo Junce.

Luo Junce coldly glanced at the two, his teeth grinding almost to dust, and he spoke in a deep voice, "You two damned bastards, I’ve already used the Demon-suppressing Stone. Can’t you see the gap between us?"

"Even now, you dare to fight me! It seems you won’t shed tears until you see a coffin?"

"In that case, let me send you on your way!"

The next second, Luo Junce raised his hands, and the Demon-suppressing Stone floated in midair, rapidly spinning at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, a beam of light appeared on the Demon-suppressing Stone and scattered in all directions.

Even Luo Junce couldn’t escape the effects.

"What is that thing?"

Wang Zhan asked, full of shock, for he could feel the terrifying power contained in those scattered beams of light.

The Sword Spirit quickly shielded him and spoke directly, "He’s already using the power of the Demon-suppressing Stone! But I think you can also see that even by utilizing its power, he might encounter backlash from the Demon-suppressing Stone!"

Wang Zhan frowned slightly, "So he’s planning to drag both of us down with him?"

At this point, Luo Junce had already used his trump card; he certainly wouldn’t be easily killed by Wang Zhan and his ally.

However, trying to escape unscathed remained a remarkably difficult task.

Moreover, with the slightest misstep, both sides could end up injured.

Even having just now used the Demon-suppressing Stone, his body was already overburdened.

As expected, layers of blood mist started to appear over Luo Junce’s body.

It looked extremely terrifying.

Wang Zhan’s breathing gradually became much more rapid because he could sense that the energy contained within the Demon-suppressing Stone was simply beyond the two of them to withstand.

The next second, Wang Zhan shot up into the sky and simultaneously manipulated his own power to the extreme.

He absolutely couldn’t let the Sword Spirit stand alone in front of him right now. After all, he was a man, how could he let a woman do this?

Immediately after, there was a loud boom in his ear.

A ripple of energy suddenly rippled outward.

And the light on the Demon-suppressing Stone grew stronger and stronger.

"All of you, go to hell!"

Luo Junce shouted grimly.

Wang Zhan turned to look at everyone behind him. Trying to stop the energy ripple produced by the Demon-suppressing Stone with the combined power of himself and the Sword Spirit was likely an impossible task.

Then, he heard Wang Zhan shout to everyone, "Everyone, stop staying where you are! Quickly retreat!"

Everyone nodded and scattered in all directions.

Even the people from Tianyin Gate did the same.

In an instant, the ground around them kept collapsing, and the buildings crumbled with a crash at that moment.

Seeing this scene, everyone widened their eyes in shock.

No one had expected the Demon-suppressing Stone to have such great power...

"Damn it, didn’t you say the Demon-suppressing Stone couldn’t fully unleash its power?"

Wang Zhan quickly glanced at the Sword Spirit beside him.

He and the Sword Spirit were both at the epicenter of the Demon-suppressing Stone’s explosion, so the pressure they bore was far greater than everyone else’s.

The Sword Spirit gave a slightly bitter smile and, frowning, said, "I didn’t lie to you. He simply doesn’t have the ability to use all the power within the Demon-suppressing Stone. It’s precisely because of this that we were able to stay here and entangle him."

This...

In an instant, Wang Zhan’s eyes widened.

The power of the Demon-suppressing Stone hadn’t fully unleashed, and it was already at this level.

If the power of the Demon-suppressing Stone were fully unleashed, what level would it reach?

At that moment, Wang Zhan suddenly felt unsure.

"If things really don’t work out, maybe we should temporarily leave?"

Wang Zhan looked at the Sword Spirit and spoke again, "After all, we have so many people behind us who also need our protection. If we don’t leave quickly, it won’t be a good thing for them either..."

"Most importantly, we definitely need some time now to cover everyone’s retreat and ensure we don’t cause any more heavy casualties to those around us."

This situation was akin to a thunderous blow.

Wang Zhan never imagined that Luo Junce had such a trump card left.

It was completely beyond his imagination.

The Sword Spirit slightly frowned and shook his head, then slowly said, "If possible, of course, I’d like to take everyone away from here as quickly as possible, but have you considered that we no longer have that opportunity now..."

"Moreover, the most important thing is, Luo Junce has already regarded us as deadly enemies. Even if we wanted to leave, I estimate he would expend all his strength to fight a life-and-death battle with us."

Wang Zhan’s teeth were almost chattering.

Since the Sword Spirit had already said this, he naturally couldn’t say much more.

In an instant, Wang Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, let’s go head-to-head! At worst, we’ll fight to the death with them!"

"After all, we’ve already come this far. We can’t just retreat like this, can we?"

The Sword Spirit also nodded.

Soon, the two of them charged toward Luo Junce again.

At this moment, although Luo Junce was heavily injured, thanks to the reinforcement of the Demon-suppressing Stone, his strength had increased to a certain extent. Immediately, he charged toward the two once more, and said coldly, "I already gave you a chance before, but you didn’t treasure it at all!"

"Since you’re hell-bent on seeking death, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

As he spoke, Luo Junce raised his hands again, and the Demon-suppressing Stone spun rapidly.

Immediately, those rays of light converged and formed into a longsword emitting a silver glow.

Before Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit could react, the sword appeared before them.

With a loud bang, the place where Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit stood exploded.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the distance turned pale.

Xiang Tian covered his eyes, doing his best to block out the dust, and said with a frown, "How is Brother Wang?"
