Chapter 1234 - 1232: Unforeseen Turmoil

"I don’t have time to listen to your flirtations here!"

The recent encounter with Wang Zhan had clearly infuriated the Soul-Calming Beast.

At this moment, the Soul-Calming Beast glared with its wide eyes, and after taking a cold glance at Wang Zhan, it continued to speak: "Originally, I did not intend to have a life-and-death fight with you, but if you’re so obstinate, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

"Next, I’ll send you on your way first, and then deal with that useless loser!"

Ling Ruo was so angry that his face turned blue. Even if his strength was lacking and the Soul-Calming Beast didn’t pay attention to him, it shouldn’t be verbally insulting him like this.

This truly was humiliating!

What’s more hateful is that this guy even claimed that he was flirting with Wang Zhan.

This was clearly an international joke...

However, Wang Zhan paid no attention to this. He was gravely staring at the Soul-Calming Beast in front of him. As soon as the Soul-Calming Beast made a move, Wang Zhan quickly activated the formation techniques, simultaneously shouting out, "Ten Thousand Lightning Formation!"

The sky was suddenly filled with flashes of lightning and peals of thunder, quickly enveloping the Soul-Calming Beast, and as the bolts of Thunder Power descended, not only did the Soul-Calming Beast widen its eyes, but Ling Ruo was also full of disbelief.

He quietly watched Wang Zhan for a while, then finally spoke: "You actually know how to set up formation techniques? And the power of your formation is so formidable, even surpassing many of my attack formations? Where did you learn this formation technique?"

A thought arose in Ling Ruo’s mind, which was to quickly find a master to learn from.

He had been relying on his own Talent, exploring bit by bit how to set up formation techniques, hoping to become a Formation Master one day!

But without anyone else’s guidance, his progress was very slow, and he hadn’t achieved any significant breakthroughs. But seeing Wang Zhan’s formation techniques so skillfully executed and their power, if they were self-taught, Wang Zhan’s Talent would certainly surpass his. And if not self-taught, it would prove that there’s an expert behind Wang Zhan with abilities far beyond his imagination!

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth as he calmly said: "In terms of formation techniques, you are far superior to me, as I only know this one formation technique. Being that my power is far above yours, the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation naturally exhibits great power. If given some time in the future, I believe you will also achieve significant success on the path of formation techniques!"

Ling Ruo didn’t expect that, despite Wang Zhan’s young age and facing praise, he wasn’t complacent and even encouraged him. Indeed, comparing people can be infuriating; Wang Zhan not only possesses such formidable strength but also a magnanimity beyond ordinary people. What kind of demon-like character is this?

Can it be because there’s a powerful Grandmaster behind him?

Or is Wang Zhan from the upper plane, here merely to experience life?

There are not only experts in the upper plane but also many Families, and in these Families, not everyone is extremely powerful. After all, some are not very strong, but with their Family’s support and protection, they can still have whatever they want!

In his view, Wang Zhan is likely such a person.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth again, then he calmly said: "Alright, don’t worry about my matters here for now. I’m temporally using the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation to stall him. Either quickly leave from here or heal yourself and recover quickly, otherwise, it won’t benefit you at all!"

"Leave? How could that be possible? That would be equivalent to letting you take everything effortlessly that we’ve been fighting for! I won’t do that!"

Ling Ruo gritted his teeth and spoke directly: "Although you just saved my life, we have to count everything separately. We agreed when we first came in that nothing here should be taken solely by you, so I must stay here, even if it means sacrificing my life! In the end, I must defend my rights!"

Since the Soul-Calming Beast is so renowned and a well-known Spirit Beast on the Star War Battlefield, that proves the cave must hide excellent treasures, and if they were to take hold of these, it would be an advantage for them!

Wang Zhan shook his head with a smile, thinking Ling Ruo in front of him is quite amusing, doesn’t he understand the point that as long as one stays alive, there are endless opportunities, and no one knows what might happen in the future?

It’s truly laughable!

Using one’s life as a gamble, what kind of mad man behavior is this?

But Wang Zhan did not bother to argue with him; the priority was to handle the present situation promptly.

Wang Zhan’s gaze fell back on the Soul-Calming Beast, and he slowly began to speak: "Stop struggling, the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation is my signature technique, and this Thunder Power is comparable to a Heavenly Tribulation. Your power should have gone through several Heavenly Tribulations, right? You should know how formidable the thunder from Heavenly Tribulation is, and now you will experience it once more!"

"But I don’t actually want to take your life. If you decide to submit, perhaps I can grant you a chance, and we can both cease and leave directly. What are your intentions?"

"But there is one condition, and that is I must take whatever is in the cave, or you can directly tell me what is inside and why you are so fascinated by it? If it serves no purpose to us, we won’t waste any more time here!"

Similarly, even though Wang Zhan and his ally wanted to enter the cave to see what treasures were inside, they were unclear about what exactly was there, making the situation truly troubling.

The Soul-Calming Beast chuckled disdainfully, speaking with full contempt: "The thing inside is not something you can touch, and given your combined power, neither of you is qualified to possess it!"

"Moreover, I won’t give you the chance to enter there. Do you think this mere formation can really stop me? Since I had already broken all the formation techniques you set up earlier, your formation won’t pose any threat. The time has come for me to show you my real power!"

Boom!

With a massive boom echoing from the sky, a huge beam of light emerged around the Soul-Calming Beast, piercing through the clouds. Simultaneously, the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation that Wang Zhan set up exploded suddenly!

Wang Zhan, who had been observing the Soul-Calming Beast all along, was actually just looking for an opportunity. He wanted to use the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation only to tire the Soul-Calming Beast out, then seize the opportunity to employ the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower. It was impossible to completely annihilate the Soul-Calming Beast.

If the Soul-Calming Beast truly intended to face him head-on, even someone with Wang Zhan’s level of strength couldn’t take him on; they’d definitely both end up injured!

But now, the situation was different. If the Soul-Calming Beast were trapped in the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, Wang Zhan would have more opportunities, perhaps even to trap the Soul-Calming Beast completely. That’s what Wang Zhan hoped for!

But as it appeared, his plans had clearly crumbled, not posing any threat to the Soul-Calming Beast, which was indeed very infuriating.

Yet Wang Zhan was not discouraged, for things weren’t as bad as they seemed. If he were given a bit more time, perhaps he could still maneuver against the Soul-Calming Beast, and if necessary, clash head-on using the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower!

Ling Ruo was equally tense, glancing at the gleaming light in the Sky, gritting his teeth, he said word by word: "Damn it, this guy has already broken the barrier, and this commotion has probably drawn attention. Everyone knows now there’s a fight going on here, and they’ll likely come!"

"It’s truly troublesome. Unless you can quickly handle it and enter the cave to obtain certain items, both of us might find it hard to escape unscathed. We’ll have to explain this to the people from Elixir Valley!"

This is, after all, Elixir Valley’s territory, so no matter what’s in the cave, it’s ultimately owned by Elixir Valley.

Wang Zhan’s expression turned much more serious, furrowing his cheeks, biting his words: "You think the Soul-Calming Beast in front of us is so easy to deal with? This creature’s power is far beyond my imaginations, and I’m not its match!"

"If we continue this standoff, ultimately, neither of us will escape here, so it’d be better to leave now, then inform the people from Elixir Valley about this situation. By then, perhaps we can unite and return, increasing our chances of obtaining whatever’s inside the cave!"

Despite Ling Ruo’s reluctance, he ultimately nodded and quickly said: "Let’s do it according to your intentions, we must leave this zone quickly to avoid things spiraling out of control!"

"Oh, but let me remind you, Elixir Valley also has a lot of experts. If we truly join forces with them, no matter what’s inside here, it’ll be hard for it to end up in our hands, so you should prepare for that possibility quickly."

Wang Zhan slightly furrowed his brow; this was a matter worthy of consideration.

It truly was a dilemma!
