Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 967 - 965: Peril at Every Turn

Luo Xue’s gaze fell on the crowd, and beneath his eyes was still full of gratitude.At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky, and a man in a blue robe stood slowly in mid-air. He glanced coldly at Luo Xue and the others, then spoke indifferently, "I know what you are planning in your hearts."

"Simply put, you want to leave here unscathed, right?"

"I need to advise you that I have already laid down a heaven and earth net here, and the four Great Protectors have all arrived, so leaving here would be as hard as ascending to the sky. I suggest you think about some realistic things and surrender obediently, which would be beneficial to everyone."

"After all, we are not here to kill you; we just want to control you and draw someone here, that person is our true target..."

During the battle that just ended, the man in front never said a word, but now after suddenly stepping forward to say so much, Luo Xue immediately understood.

Next, Luo Xue directly raised his head, glanced at the man in mid-air, and then bit his teeth and said slowly, "I understand, it seems your target is Brother Wang, right?"

The man said indifferently, "Naturally, it is him. I have received information that he and Li Du entered the ruins and took the Divine Heart. Since the Divine Heart is not on Li Du, it proves that it must be in the hands of the master of Sky Pavilion."

"I never expected that people from Tianyin Gate would meet you here, which is truly laughable. It seems Heaven has arranged everything, and we just need to follow it. By blocking you all here, I believe your master of Tian Pavilion won’t watch you perish here."

"Before long, he should be heading here, then..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion behind him.

Luo Xue and the others looked toward the sound one after another.

Could it be that Brother Wang has arrived?

Luo Xue clenched his fists instantly, full of worry, and spoke to himself, "Now they’ve set up a heaven and earth net. If Brother Wang arrives here, wouldn’t it be just falling into their trap? Then leaving would be very difficult."

Thinking about this, Luo Xue couldn’t help but worry.

Li Du, standing nearby, frowned slightly, "The situation is still unclear, but we must coordinate with those outside and break through together. Now we don’t need anyone to cover the rear, since someone outside has come to assist us. We just need to seize the time and find a way to leave."

"Everyone, muster your last courage and charge out with me!"

As the words fell, everyone began to shout and follow Li Du, heading in one direction.

At this point, although Luo Xue was a bit worried about Wang Zhan, he didn’t dare hesitate too much. He had many people around him, and he must consider everyone around him, because they all followed him here, and he couldn’t abandon them now!

The man in mid-air narrowed his eyes slightly, ignoring Luo Xue and others; his gaze remained locked on Li Du, as he could sense that among the crowd, Li Du was the most powerful. If Li Du could be kept here, things would be much easier.

In an instant, the man charged swiftly toward Li Du.

Li Du sensed the intense pressure from behind, pushed Luo Xue aside, and soared into the sky, engaging with the man.

After such a fierce battle, Li Du’s cultivation was damaged, and now his strength was far inferior to the man in front of him.

But he knew that if the man joined the battlefield, it would create an obstacle for everyone, so even if he had to sacrifice his life, he must desperately hold the man.

Now, although he doesn’t know if the person breaking in from outside is Wang Zhan, since someone has come to help, he can fight freely, and maybe escape this dangerous place.

Luo Xue frowned toward Li Du and shouted, "Don’t get entangled with him! This man’s power is far beyond ours. We should focus on breaking through now and maybe leave safely!"

But, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Li Du’s mouth.

One has to say, Luo Xue is really quite naive.

Now that they’ve already targeted us, even if we don’t want to engage in battle, what can we do?

In an instant, there was a loud bang in mid-air, evidently Li Du and that man had exchanged blows.

A man standing nearby looked at Luo Xue, then frowned and said, "I’ve heard about matters in Tianyin Gate, their four Great Protectors are extremely formidable, and the man in front is one of them. I wonder if Li Du can stand up to it?"

"But what identity does Li Du hold? I remember he isn’t part of Sky Pavilion, right? Why is he risking himself with us now?"

A few hours ago, Luo Xue and the others were preparing to return to Sky Pavilion. They never expected to encounter these powerful adversaries on the way and begin a fight where they naturally fell at a disadvantage.

If Li Du hadn’t appeared timely, their situation might have been far more difficult, and the number of people here would naturally be reduced...

Although everyone wasn’t familiar with Li Du, Luo Xue had met Li Du once before. He hesitated for a moment before speaking lightly, "Actually, we only met outside the ruins, and later he seemed to have become friends with Brother Wang. Plus, their strengths were similar, so they entered the ruins together."

"He must have parted ways with Brother Wang, and encountering us in trouble, he wouldn’t stand by idly, hence stepping in..."

The man next to him nodded. One has to say, this gesture indeed moved them a lot.

In such circumstances, everyone thinks about self-preservation, yet who among them can act like Li Du?

But since Li Du has already blocked the strongest man, they didn’t waste time and rushed towards the perimeter.

Before long, those who should have surrounded them scattered, and Xuan Yu led the crowd in immediately.

Four eyes met, Luo Xue was taken aback and wondered aloud, "Why are you here? Where’s Brother Wang?"

Instantly, worry emerged on Luo Xue’s face.

Since Wang Zhan hadn’t appeared yet, and Xuan Yu showed up here, it proved people at Sky Pavilion might already know they encountered danger, and Wang Zhan might have been held up by something, otherwise, he would’ve come to meet them immediately.

Thinking of this, Luo Xue frowned and said, "Could Brother Wang have run into trouble?"

"Things aren’t as bad as you think."

Xuan Yu patted Luo Xue’s shoulder and continued, "After Mr. Wang learned of your situation here, he went to the back mountain to ask Feng Tianci for assistance, but Feng Tianci is still in seclusion, so it may take some time. Mr. Wang let us meet you first."

Luo Xue finally let out a relieved sigh, smiling as he said, "As long as Brother Wang is fine, nothing else matters..."

"Next, let’s leave quickly to avoid unforeseen changes."

Xuan Yu nodded alongside.

"The people guarding outside don’t seem to be experts at all; they can’t even pressure us a bit. We needn’t worry. We’ll charge straight out."

One of them spoke directly.

But hearing this, Luo Xue showed a hint of reluctance and frowned, "How could that be? The ones outside are all elites here, they won’t give up easily nor let you take us away lightly. They came for the Divine Heart and are waiting for Brother Wang."

"So he didn’t kill us but chose to control us, but what’s happening now?"

Xuan Yu frowned slightly, suddenly understanding, and said, "If that’s the case, they’ve let us in intentionally to control us here, aren’t we in a dangerous spot now?"

As soon as the words fell, they saw many people standing at the newly torn opening, among them a man in a green robe. Luo Xue’s mind suddenly recalled Li Du’s words...

The four Great Protectors of Tianyin Gate all wear strange clothing, isn’t that man one of the four Great Protectors too?
