Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 956 - 954: The Demon Saber That Controls Minds

Li Du nodded and then did not continue speaking.Actually, even if Wang Zhan didn’t remind him, he had already seen the peculiarity of the knife and naturally wouldn’t keep staring at it.

He could also sense that there was indeed something strange about the knife.

Especially those blood-red engravings, which made one shudder slightly.

Meanwhile, Xiang Tian had already turned his face aside, standing behind Wang Zhan.

After all, among the three of them, his strength was the weakest, and even when looking at the people in the scene, he couldn’t match them.

In other words, he naturally lacked the resolve to withstand the knife before him; otherwise, he might be directly controlled by it.

However, although the three were fully prepared, the others present were not like this; everyone’s eyes were entirely on the knife, and in an instant, they had all started vying to possess it.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhan quickly pulled the two beside him to the side, maintaining a distance from everyone else.

He remained quietly observing the battle.

After all, these matters were of no relation to him; such internal strife did have some advantage, allowing them to reap the benefits.

Amidst a series of loud crashes, several experts were already lying in bloody puddles. In such a chaotic battle, they did not hold back, everyone wanting to seize the knife as soon as possible, which undoubtedly increased the resistance.

Wang Zhan slightly narrowed his eyes, his face growing increasingly grim as he watched the Great Hall shaking. He glanced at Li Du beside him and then said through gritted teeth, "If they continue fighting, this place might not hold much longer. We need to be prepared to leave here early."

Li Du nodded slightly beside him and said calmly, "But if we want to enter, we must pass through here, and we still don’t know where the Divine Heart is. If they destroy this place, we might lose our chance with the Divine Heart forever."

Evidently, although these people were here for the Divine Heart, they were now controlled by the demonic creature in front of them.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment.

If it weren’t for the powerful people present, he would naturally intervene, but it seems that this is simply impossible now.

If he interferes, he might become the target of public criticism.

In an instant, one person had already gripped the Demon Saber, coldly glancing at the people beside him, his pupils turned blood-red, causing chills.

"Not good, retreat quickly!"

Wang Zhan hastily instructed his companions, and three figures rapidly headed outside the Great Hall.

The person holding the Demon Saber coldly scanned the crowd and slowly lifted the knife, suddenly swinging it at them. A massive sword light descended on the group, rendering them unable to react, and several people fell again into bloody puddles.

In an instant, the Great Hall’s numbers had notably decreased.

Fortunately, Wang Zhan and his companions had already retreated outside, distancing themselves from the crowd.

But as Wang Zhan raised his head, he noticed that the person holding the Demon Saber had already turned his gaze toward them.

Previously, everyone was focused on snatching the Demon Saber, so nobody paid attention to Wang Zhan’s group, who stood by watching without any intention of intervening. Now, however, the situation had changed somewhat.

The saber had fallen into someone’s hands, and that person was like a mad dog, killing anyone he saw.

"Have you noticed? This person seems to be controlled by the Demon Saber; his power is constantly rising. If we confront him head-on, it won’t benefit us."

"He’s now aware of us. Let’s retreat first and revisit the Divine Heart matter later."

The priority is to preserve our strength.

The ruins are extremely strange; who knows what will happen if we proceed.

Thus, Wang Zhan was extremely concerned and had to be fully prepared.

Li Du nodded heavily beside him, clearly agreeing with Wang Zhan.

Just as Wang Zhan’s group was about to leave, they found the man already in front of them, raising the Demon Saber and coldly saying, "You all must die!"

As he spoke, the man wielded the Demon Saber, charging swiftly at Wang Zhan’s group.

Since the opponent is already blocking the way, they cannot continue to retreat.

Very soon, Wang Zhan engaged in combat with that person.

Li Du patted Xiang Tian on the shoulder and calmly said, "You don’t need to take action, just stay here quietly. But be careful because it seems that the people around us have also been controlled by the Demon Saber, and I worry they might suddenly attack you."

Xiang Tian nodded heavily, understanding that Li Du meant well.

Therefore, he didn’t argue further with Li Du.

Soon, Wang Zhan and the other were seen engaging with that person.

A massive shadow of a blade appeared in mid-air, fiercely smashing toward Wang Zhan and his companion.

As Wang Zhan and the other tried to dodge, it was already too late. The next second, Wang Zhan raised his Great Void Divine Sword, immediately clashing with the Demon Saber.

In the brief moment of contact, a crisp sound echoed in their ears. Immediately, the Demon Saber began to vibrate, and before Wang Zhan could react, the knife in the person’s hand had already flown out, embedding itself in the ground nearby.

At that moment, the crowd standing behind them rushed madly toward the Demon Saber.

It was clear that the purpose of this group was singular: to seize the Demon Saber as quickly as possible.

The man who previously held the Demon Saber turned crazily, immediately reaching for the Demon Saber again. In the next second, a black light flashed, and before Wang Zhan and the others could react, the man near the Demon Saber was split in two, becoming a corpse.

Seeing this scene, Wang Zhan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

How could there be another expert present?

Li Du’s voice immediately echoed in his ears, "No, there shouldn’t be an expert present. It’s likely the Demon Saber is controlled by another soul, which is causing this situation!"

Wang Zhan was not quite sure what he meant.

In his mind, the Sword Spirit’s voice came again, followed by the Sword Spirit slowly speaking, "He’s right. This Demon Saber doesn’t have much power itself; it’s more about the demonic creature attached to it. I can feel that the creature is extremely terrifying, so you better be cautious."

Wang Zhan was slightly taken aback, instinctively clenching his fists and looking warily at the Demon Saber.

Everything is caused by this Demon Saber, and it absolutely cannot be allowed to leave the ruins. Otherwise, it might bring carnage to the Star War Battlefield...

Wang Zhan is not someone driven by great virtue, but he doesn’t want the Star War Battlefield to change because of this Demon Saber.

After all, if this Demon Saber appears in the world, it could alter the entire layout of the Star War Battlefield, and even their Sky Pavilion might suffer some impact.

Thinking of all this, Wang Zhan was the first to act, directly charging toward the Demon Saber.

Just as he got closer, Wang Zhan slowly raised his Great Void Divine Sword and slashed at the Demon Saber in front of him.

The stance was clearly meant to split the Demon Saber in half.

No matter if there were any souls on this Demon Saber, he intended to destroy it completely here.

However, what Wang Zhan never expected was just as his Great Void Divine Sword was about to strike the Demon Saber, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, using their body to shield the Demon Saber.

A flash of sword light passed, and the person instantly became a corpse.

Wang Zhan’s eyes widened, and now he truly understood that these people had all gone mad...

Immediately, more people had already gathered around the Demon Saber, looking ready to coexist with it.

Wang Zhan slightly furrowed his brow and started communicating with the Sword Spirit in his mind, "These people are all top experts, they’re not fools. How could they willingly become slaves to a sword?"

After all, these people’s abilities seemed not too different from Wang Zhan’s. Since Wang Zhan could see the oddities of this sword, how could these people not?

This was indeed peculiar.

The Sword Spirit calmly said, "They were seized by greed, so no one is at fault. After all, once greed sets in, no matter how strong the person is, they can be controlled by their Inner Demon, and the sword uses this to control the people here..."

Wang Zhan immediately understood, nodding and then calmly saying, "So what do we do next? Are we just going to let this sword go?"

If the sword isn’t destroyed, it will become even more troublesome in the future.
