Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 953 - 951: Fanning the Flames

Wang Zhan did not waste any time. He immediately raised his hand, and his sword had already pierced through the man’s chest.In an instant.

Wang Zhan looked at Li Du by his side and said indifferently, "Everything has been dealt with, so let’s not continue wasting time. We have to hurry and catch up with them."

Li Du nodded and took the lead in heading toward the distance.

Xiang Tian, who was following beside Wang Zhan and Li Du, also quickened his pace, trying his best not to fall behind them.

After all, his strength was much weaker than the two, so he had to work harder lest he end up dragging them down...

Soon, they had entered deep into the ruins.

What Wang Zhan did not expect was that everyone was trapped together, unable to proceed further.

Wang Zhan and his team also joined the crowd. After taking a glance at the door blocking everyone, his gaze fell on Li Du, "What is this bronze door? Is there something behind it?"

In front of them was a large bronze door, emitting a mysterious aura. No one knew what exactly lay inside.

Li Du squinted his eyes slightly at Wang Zhan before speaking calmly, "I have been here multiple times before and have discovered secrets about the bronze door, but have never been able to open it, so I naturally don’t know what’s hidden inside..."

"Looking at it now, it seems everyone thinks alike, treating this bronze door as a dangerous place. Maybe there’s really something secretive about it."

Xiang Tian crossed his arms and said, "If that’s the case, should we find a way to enter the bronze door now? Even if I can’t open it, won’t the group following us also enter? If anything is inside, we’ll probably end up in carnage..."

Thinking about this couldn’t help but be troubling.

Li Du’s face turned much worse.

Right now, he didn’t know what to do.

Wang Zhan frowned slightly. After staring at the bronze door for a while, he finally said, "Let’s not worry about it, act according to the situation. If they all decide to act, we can’t just stand by and watch."

Thinking of this, Li Du nodded.

No one should stand out now, otherwise, it would surely bring trouble to everyone.

Not only do they need to act this way, but everyone present must do the same.

In a blink of an eye, everyone’s gaze focused on Wang Zhan’s team.

Suddenly, a flurry of discussion broke out.

"Didn’t expect them to arrive too. Seems those guys didn’t stop them at all, truly laughable."

"How did these youths manage to get here? Was it pure luck?"

"But I remember those people’s strength is quite formidable. Even we couldn’t retreat unharmed if stopped by them, how could Wang Zhan have such skills?"

For a moment, everyone was filled with confusion.

After all, they couldn’t fathom Wang Zhan’s team’s strength, which indeed was troublesome.

Wang Zhan paid no heed to their words, keeping his gaze on the bronze door.

Li Du coughed lightly twice and spoke calmly, "I assume everyone knows why we’re here. Everyone is here for the Divine Heart. Given that, let’s not make things difficult for each other. Instead, let’s find a way to open this bronze door together and explore its secrets."

"I believe once we open the bronze door, we’ll know exactly what’s inside, or perhaps directly see the Divine Heart. I think everyone shares my thoughts."

Given the unified purpose, no one spoke up.

Li Du stepped to the forefront. After touching the bronze door twice and seeing it didn’t react, he turned back to look at the people behind him and calmly said, "Isn’t there an expert in mechanisms here?"

"At this point, are they still planning to hide until the end?"

When hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, evidently not knowing whom Li Du referred to.

Li Du’s gaze fell on a middle-aged man. He then spoke calmly, "Master Li, are you planning to just watch the spectacle? If you don’t act, no one can open the bronze door, and we’ll all be trapped here. Then, no one will obtain the Divine Heart..."

Everyone’s gaze fell on the middle-aged man.

Li Xiao squinted his eyes slightly, frowned, and said, "What nonsense is this? Is this your business? Also, who told you I’m proficient in mechanisms?"

Li Du chuckled, "Whether you’re proficient or not, no one in this world knows better than me, so I’d advise against pretending before me. I think many are aware of your capabilities, right?"

"You, the Mechanism Gate’s master, playing such games with us—don’t you find it laughable?"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up; they had indeed forgotten Li Xiao’s identity!

Discussions erupted immediately.

"Master Li, what’s the point? Are you planning to just watch until no one can open the mechanism and then secretly act to seize the advantage? Isn’t this a bit unfair?"

The onlookers nodded in agreement.

Li Xiao frowned slightly; he wished he could kill Li Du on-sight.

This damn bastard was clearly scheming against him. Even though he’s proficient in mechanisms, using them would drain him. If the Divine Heart is within, he’s no match for them, leaving only one outcome...

Making wedding clothes for others.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao’s face turned even darker, his eyes burned as he looked at Li Du next to him, then spoke indifferently, "I indeed have a way to unlock the bronze door, but I have a condition. If you want me to unlock it, first help me kill someone, that is..."

Then he raised his hand, pointing at Li Du.

The implication was obviously clear.

Everyone’s lips curled into cold smiles.

The otherworld already began gearing up, clearly ready to act.

Li Du instinctively retreated two steps and quickly approached Wang Zhan, his breath already more rushed, gritting his teeth, "Even now, that bastard’s still plotting against me?"

"This crowd is like a pack of wolves, likely their only goal is to quickly kill me and gain entry to the bronze door. What now?"

"If they all join forces against me, I’m truly not their match..."

"You won’t just stand by, would you?"

Wang Zhan’s lips curved into a slight smile, patting Li Du as he spoke with a bright grin, "If it were anyone else, I might ignore it, but if it’s you, how could I just stand aside?"

"Rest assured, even if they want to act, they’ll need to use their brains. Though we may not defeat everyone together, paving a bloody path isn’t hard. Surely, you know this better than I?"

Li Du simply nodded, a satisfied smile on his lips.

After all, he still needed Wang Zhan’s help. Without it, he truly didn’t know what to do.

If he became a thorn in their sides, he’d lose his chance at the Divine Heart, obtaining it wouldn’t be easy...

Thinking of this, Li Du’s lips curled into a smile as he spoke directly, "I knew following you meant no worry. Even if the sky falls, you’d unconditionally stand before me. No wonder so many stand by you; it’s because of your Charm..."

Ha...

Hearing this, Wang Zhan shook his head, "You’ve started learning to flatter now?"

Li Du just chuckled, saying nothing more.

Xiang Tian stepped before the duo, speaking calmly, "Given this, let’s not waste more time. I followed Brother Wang here to strengthen myself. For me, this is the best chance—to battle experts stronger than me, indeed improving my skills."

Wang Zhan ignored his words, instead stepping forward to face the crowd.
