Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 526 - 524: Fierce Battle with the Demonic Rising Wolf
Wang Zhan watched Huang Pufeng's departing figure in contemplation for a moment.
It was rare for brothers to meet, and now they must part in haste.
These days, with beasts rampaging everywhere, who could predict when the large-scale outbreak would finally occur?
At this moment, Wang Zhan could only strive to enhance his own strength to better protect his family.
After battling beasts outside for the entire day, Wang Zhan finally returned to his residence in the evening.
Having stayed at his residence for so long, Wang Zhan was stunned to find the corpses of two royal-level high-grade beasts at the entrance.
The Old Man often acts like a pig to eat tigers, Wang Zhan and Huang Pufeng had killed so many beasts over these days.
Finally, they had provoked the anger of that beast with strength surpassing the Martial Emperor, who ordered a large-scale search around Quan State City.
Beasts typically acted independently, especially powerful ones who disdained acting together.
To see two royal-level high-grade beasts act together, Wang Zhan didn't need to guess to know it was that beast surpassing the royal level.
"Old Man!" Wang Zhan called out loudly.
Suddenly, a large hand patted Wang Zhan on the shoulder from behind, giving him quite a scare.
Wang Zhan dodged and prepared to attack, only stopping when he saw it was the Old Man.
"Old Man, are you trying to get yourself killed?"
The Old Man looked at Wang Zhan and chuckled.
"Kid, you're still not up to it! If it were someone else, you'd have lost your life here by now."
Wang Zhan pursed his lips; if he weren't concerned for the Old Man's safety, there's no way he would've let him succeed with the sneak attack.
This is what Wang Zhan thought to himself, but he wouldn't say it aloud.
"If I didn't know it was you, I would've slashed you with my blade long ago."
Wang Zhan indeed was careless just now, but asking him to admit it in these few days would surely make him a laughingstock to the Old Man.
The Old Man wouldn't believe Wang Zhan's words, but internally, he was quite pleased with Wang Zhan's reaction speed.
Wang Zhan looked at the two beast corpses, frowned, and turned to the Old Man, asking:
"Have we been discovered?"
The Old Man looked unconcerned, "So what if we were discovered? With so many beasts in Quan State City, what can they possibly do to us?"
Wang Zhan was not concerned about the royal and sub-royal level beasts, but that beast above the royal level, even the Old Man had no confidence against. If they were besieged, Wang Zhan didn't want to be the one to tuck his tail between his legs and run.
Wang Zhan snapped back to his senses to find the Old Man had already turned and started leaving, so he hurried to catch up.
"Hey! Old Man, where are you going! Wait for me."
The Old Man didn't turn back, just saying, "Changing places, getting old, can't stay up all night. I don't want the beasts disturbing my sleep at night."
Wang Zhan wanted to mock the Old Man, but remembering he's Qin Ying's elder, he swallowed his words.
Following the Old Man to a new residence, and within a month, Quan State City had become a paradise for beasts.
After a brief setup, Wang Zhan noticed the Old Man staring at him, making his heart turn cold.
"Old Man, why are you staring at me like that?"
Wang Zhan couldn't stand the Old Man's strange gaze.
The Old Man chuckled and said, "You've almost completed the cultivation of your Sky Profound Battle Armor, how about we go together tomorrow to deal with that beast beyond the royal level!"
The Old Man was filled with shock in his heart, staying with Wang Zhan for so long, and becoming more astonished by Wang Zhan's secrets.
Wang Zhan immediately nodded in agreement; he had originally wanted to learn the Sky Profound Battle Armor and had promised the Old Man.
Promises must be kept, not to mention it's a matter of slaying beasts.
The Old Man always concealed his strength, and Wang Zhan also wanted to see how powerful the beast beyond the royal level was, to see how big the gap with himself was.
The next day, early in the morning, Wang Zhan followed the Old Man toward the center of Quan State City.
These days, Wang Zhan and Huang Fu had been searching for beasts to kill on the outskirts, neither was arrogant enough to venture deep into the center.
As they hurried toward the city center, Wang Zhan and the Old Man increasingly felt something was off; so many beasts had vanished overnight.
Could it be that the Federation managed to spare some efforts, or had the beasts retreated?
There was no time for Wang Zhan to ponder, as he and the Old Man were getting closer to the center, with an ever-increasing terror-inducing intimidation coming from ahead.
The deeper they went, the more pressure Wang Zhan felt, while the Old Man seemed unfazed.
Ten minutes later, enduring the intimidation, Wang Zhan and the Old Man concealed their presence and approached the back of that beast.
It was a Demonic Rising Wolf, murderous by nature, enjoying feasting on humans, its massive body like a moving small mountain.
Feeling the intimidation of the beast up close, Wang Zhan couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Old Man, are you confident? I don't want to die just yet!"
The Old Man snapped, "Stop talking, let's deal it a fatal blow from behind."
Wang Zhan disdainfully thought of the Old Man, clearly a super expert surpassing the Martial Emperor Realm, yet still planning a sneak attack.
"Human ants, still thinking of ambushing the Beast King, you're asking for death."
The voice of the Demonic Rising Wolf suddenly echoed in the air, startling Wang Zhan and the Old Man.
When Wang Zhan and the Old Man arrived, it had already noticed them.
The Demonic Rising Wolf didn't care about human ants, but hearing the Old Man planning a sneak attack was something it couldn't ignore.
The Old Man gave Wang Zhan a smack on the head, cursing, "Told you not to speak, now we have a tough battle ahead of us today."
Wang Zhan looked aggrieved, rubbing the back of his head; this Old Man hit really hard.
Wang Zhan dared not curse the Old Man, so he turned to look at the Demonic Rising Wolf, realizing the beast beyond the royal level was no joke.
Who knows how long it's been since the Demonic Rising Wolf last brushed its teeth; Wang Zhan was hit by an incredibly rancid stench.
The Old Man looked at Wang Zhan and said, "Kid, it's time to test your strength."
Wang Zhan gave the Old Man a disdainful look, brandished his Liyun Blade, and charged at the Demonic Rising Wolf.
In the eyes of the Demonic Rising Wolf, Wang Zhan was so weak; an ant was always just an ant.
The enormous wolf leaped aside, dodging Wang Zhan's slash, and swung its claws at him.
At a critical moment, Wang Zhan sensed the fierce wind from the claws and summoned the Sky Profound Battle Armor.
The wolf's claws still left a shallow scratch on him, even with the armor protecting him. This gave an idea of the beast's immense strength.
"Dark Energy +20"
Wang Zhan was not one to suffer losses easily. Even knowing he couldn't win against the beast today, he was determined to tear a chunk of flesh from it.
Mobilizing all his Essence Energy, Wang Zhan felt the abundant power within him and swung his blade at the Demonic Rising Wolf.
This slash was done with all of Wang Zhan's might. At such close range, the Demonic Rising Wolf felt the keen blade energy and leapt.
Yet, it was still struck by Wang Zhan's blade, leaving a wound on its body.
The Demonic Rising Wolf howled in pain, unable to tolerate being hurt by an ant.
"An ant, ah! How could I be harmed by an ant? I will see you dead."
Feeling the overwhelming anger of the Demonic Rising Wolf, Wang Zhan quickly dodged out of its attack range.
"Old Man, help!"
Wang Zhan already sensed that the beast's power surpassed royal-level beasts; landing that hit just now was sheer luck.
Recognizing his own strength, Wang Zhan understood that facing beasts above the royal level meant only one thing: run.
The Old Man squinted when he saw Wang Zhan actually injure the Demonic Rising Wolf, realizing how much Wang Zhan had improved in just a month's time.
The Old Man didn't plan on helping Wang Zhan; he wanted to see how many trump cards Wang Zhan hadn't yet played.
Seeing the Old Man remain unmoved, Wang Zhan sighed internally, accepting that he had to face all of this alone.
Before Wang Zhan could react, the immense figure of the Demonic Rising Wolf came pouncing over.
The Black Sky Battle Armor protected him, as he stepped back and braced against the wolf's mighty claw attack.
Wang Zhan was slammed into the ground behind, stirring up a cloud of dust, his whole body aching as though it was falling apart.
Cough, cough!
Wang Zhan climbed back up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and coldly stared at the Demonic Rising Wolf.
The Demonic Rising Wolf was shocked to see that Wang Zhan seemed unharmed.
Wang Zhan spat on the ground.
"Boss Wang is furious; prepare to face my wrath!"
Wang Zhan took out a bottle of Essence Restoring Pills, poured them into his mouth, and charged at the Demonic Rising Wolf with his blade.
Bang bang bang!
Wang Zhan and the Demonic Rising Wolf engaged in fierce combat; soon enough, Wang Zhan bore several claw marks on his body.
Thanks to the Black Sky Battle Armor protecting him, Wang Zhan dared to fight the Demonic Rising Wolf.
The Demonic Rising Wolf was terrified; Wang Zhan fought with increasing bravery, and the wolf could feel the ant's growing strength.
The speed at which the Essence Restoring Pills replenished couldn't keep up with Wang Zhan's consumption rate, each blow from the Demonic Rising Wolf draining his energy significantly.
Clenching his teeth, Wang Zhan endured. The attributes provided by the Demonic Rising Wolf were truly abundant.
Feeling pain and joy simultaneously, Wang Zhan seethed, having not anticipated the Old Man setting him up like this.
"When you can't win, just ask for help. The Old Man won't laugh at you," the Old Man taunted him.
Seeing the Old Man mocking instead of helping, Wang Zhan wanted to grab the Old Man and give him a beating.
"Old Man, Boss Wang won't let you look down on me!"
The two of them had the leisure to chat, provoking the Demonic Rising Wolf even more.
The Demonic Rising Wolf enraged, lunged at Wang Zhan.
Lacking strength, unable to match the Demonic Rising Wolf's speed, Wang Zhan could only take hits passively.
Wang Zhan fumed internally!
The Old Man saw Wang Zhan being pinned down yet refraining from using his trump cards, and grew impatient.
"Kid, fly into the sky already!"
Cursing himself for being so foolish, Wang Zhan realized his advantage yet had failed to utilize it, getting chased by the Demonic Rising Wolf instead.
Wang Zhan sneered, rapidly shifting his position, constantly provoking the Demonic Rising Wolf, and managed to land a few more wounds on it.
The Demonic Rising Wolf became enraged, played with by an ant-like Wang Zhan, and seethed.
"Kid, I'll tear you apart!"
Feeling a surge of unease as the Demonic Rising Wolf grew furious, Wang Zhan's heart filled with anxiety.
Just as Wang Zhan was about to fly higher into the sky, the Demonic Rising Wolf's massive claw lunged at him, a force of intimidation locking onto him, slowing his movements.
Grabbed by the Demonic Rising Wolf's massive claw, Wang Zhan felt as if he were about to suffocate.
"Old Man, if you don't make a move, I'm dead!"
