Chapter 958: Chapter 956: Ruby
Wang Zhan found himself caught in a moment of hesitation.
Although he had only just met Li Du, he couldn’t just stand by and watch Li Du die before his eyes.
The recent clash had already left Li Du heavily injured, and he absolutely couldn’t hold on much longer...
Wang Zhan, naturally, was a bit worried as well.
After hesitating for a moment, the Sword Spirit’s voice suddenly resonated in his mind, "It seems he’s somewhat apprehensive of me, which is why he wants you to relinquish the Great Void Divine Sword first."
"But you must think clearly; the Great Void Divine Sword is one of your trump cards. If you hand over this sword now, the situation will become even more complicated."
"Moreover, I can sense that although he’s a weapon spirit, he’s not ordinary, and he has the ability to seal the Great Void Divine Sword. In that case, I would be trapped within forever and unable to offer you any help."
If Wang Zhan uses the Fire Qilin along with the Great Void Divine Sword, he would have the power to fight against anyone. But hearing what the Sword Spirit said, he became even more worried.
Furthermore, he had never regarded the Sword Spirit as merely the soul of a weapon but treated him as a friend and partner.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come this far together.
Thinking clearly about this, Wang Zhan clenched his fist, "Don’t worry, unless I die before you, I will definitely not hand you over easily, and no one can force me!"
The Sword Spirit looked at Wang Zhan with a face full of emotion, and then nodded.
In an instant, Wang Zhan reached into his chest and released the Fire Qilin.
As soon as the Fire Qilin appeared, he looked toward Wang Zhan and immediately said, "I say, kid, why do you always get into trouble? I’ve been following behind you, cleaning up your mess for a while now."
"I thought you just found some ordinary foes, but I didn’t expect you to provoke a weapon spirit this time, and most importantly, that weapon spirit’s power is on par with mine?"
"Looks like you don’t want me to live!"
Wang Zhan didn’t have the mood to continue the complaints with the Fire Qilin. He gave the Fire Qilin a cold glance and then said, "Do you want to help or not? If you don’t want to help, then stop the sarcasm, understand?"
"You..."
The Fire Qilin nearly ground his teeth, glanced at Wang Zhan with a frown, and continued, "You really scare me!"
"So annoying!"
In the next second, the Fire Qilin had already rushed towards the weapon spirit.
However, he didn’t engage the weapon spirit immediately.
After all, both of their powers had reached peak conditions, and if they fought wildly, the entire ruins might be destroyed, making the situation even more troublesome.
And Wang Zhan and the others might not even have the chance to leave.
The weapon spirit’s gaze fell on the Fire Qilin as well, seeming surprised that Wang Zhan had such a formidable presence beside him.
However, the weapon spirit wasn’t overly worried.
He looked at the Fire Qilin and then spoke lightly, "There’s nothing for you here. I advise you to leave early; provoking me will do you no good."
"In fact, you might even be controlled within the ruins forever. You, a majestic Fire Qilin, wouldn’t want to end up in such a situation, would you?"
It’s undeniable that the weapon spirit was very arrogant.
Lately, the Fire Qilin’s power had returned to its peak state, and no matter how powerful the experts he faced were, they dared not act recklessly, all because of the Fire Qilin.
Yet, the weapon spirit dared to continue provoking the Fire Qilin.
The Fire Qilin roared a few times, then rushed toward the weapon spirit first.
Soon, they were embroiled together.
In a brief encounter, both had their wins and losses.
Meanwhile, Wang Zhan looked at Li Du beside him, speaking calmly, "Have you thought about what we’d do if the Fire Qilin loses?"
Li Du crossed his arms, revealing a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and then shook his head, speaking, "If it were up to my way of doing things, I’d leave here immediately. Only by preserving my life do I have the chance for revenge or a comeback."
"But from what I understand about you, even in dire situations, you wouldn’t abandon the Fire Qilin, right?"
In daily life, Wang Zhan was always bickering with the Fire Qilin, but anyone could see their strong relationship; when facing troubles, neither would abandon the other.
Maybe that’s their friendship.
Wang Zhan smiled, nodding ambiguously, and then stated directly, "We haven’t known each other long, yet you understand me this well, which is quite interesting..."
"How about this: if you’re planning to leave, I won’t hold you back. After all, there’s no need to sacrifice yourself here. But I absolutely cannot leave here; if I go, I must take the Fire Qilin with me."
As Xiang Tian walked up to Wang Zhan’s side, he nodded heavily.
Clearly, he too was ready to live or die alongside Wang Zhan.
Nearby, Li Du crossed his arms and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, if it weren’t for the Fire Qilin, none of us would have a chance of escaping now. How could I abandon him at a time like this? If I did, I wouldn’t be human at all..."
Wang Zhan smiled satisfactorily and did not continue to banter with Li Du. His gaze returned to the Fire Qilin and the Spirit.
Right now, they just needed to quietly observe the battle, as this level of combat was completely beyond their ability to intervene.
Soon, the voice of the Sword Spirit echoed in his mind, "You need to act fast and find a way to launch a sneak attack on that Spirit. I’ve already found its weak point."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan’s eyes lit up.
"Really?"
The Sword Spirit nodded firmly, "We both belong to the realm of spirits, so naturally, I can see its weak spots. However, launching a sneak attack is not an easy task, and it could lead to a severe backlash..."
"So, you must be fully prepared. If the situation spirals out of control, it could very well..."
Wang Zhan immediately understood the implication in his words.
Wang Zhan shook his head with a smile and said, "Compared to those outside, we are much luckier. Even if we die here, at least the three of us will have each other’s company."
"It’s better than being alone."
The Sword Spirit didn’t continue to address his words; instead, it focused on the red gemstone at the center of the dagger.
Wang Zhan and the others only noticed the patterns on the dagger, not realizing the existence of the red gemstone.
After all, the blood-red patterns were so similar to the gemstone that they completely missed it.
The Sword Spirit said, "Just try to shatter that red gemstone. That way, the Demon Saber and the Spirit will completely lose their connection. Once the Demon Saber’s support is gone, the Spirit will be finished..."
Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on the red gemstone. He nodded heavily and said, "In that case, leave the rest to me!"
Suddenly, Wang Zhan shot up into the sky. Before anyone could react, they saw him raise the Great Void Divine Sword in his hand and thrust it fiercely towards the red gemstone on the dagger.
With this strike, Wang Zhan used all the strength he had.
If it hits, the gemstone will surely shatter.
Beside him, Xiang Tian was unclear about Wang Zhan’s intentions. After glancing at Li Du, he quickly asked, "What is Brother Wang planning to do? Is he going to step up and help?"
"If that’s the case, then the two of us shouldn’t just stand by and watch. Why not help Brother Wang stabilize the situation?"
However, Li Du quickly waved his hand and said, "There’s no need for now."
"He seems to be planning to ambush the Spirit, and he’s already discovered its weak spot."
It must be said, Li Du’s observation was indeed keen.
The next moment, they saw Wang Zhan’s Great Void Divine Sword already stabbed into the red gemstone.
And the Spirit’s face turned increasingly grim.
He swiftly raised the Demon Saber in his hand and positioned it behind him.
This caused Wang Zhan’s strike to miss.
"Damn it! Did this guy figure out my intentions?"
The Sword Spirit spoke, "Its reaction speed and insight far surpass your imagination, so you still need to be cautious."
Before Wang Zhan could speak, a flash of the blade suddenly came crashing down on them.
The next moment, Wang Zhan raised his Great Void Divine Sword.
With a loud crash, Wang Zhan was slammed heavily onto the ground, but he only suffered some superficial injuries.
Although he looked quite battered, he managed to stay alive.
Wang Zhan struggled to get up from the ground, biting his teeth as he slowly said, "I didn’t expect this guy’s strength to be so formidable, I can’t even withstand a single slash from him..."
Luckily, he wasn’t the one directly clashing with the Spirit right now, otherwise, he wouldn’t have lasted this long...
The Sword Spirit frowned and said, "This is the trickiest part. From here on, we need to be extra careful."
In the blink of an eye, Xiang Tian and the others were already in front of Wang Zhan.
"Brother Wang, are you okay?"
