Chapter 998: Chapter 998: Scared Sikureijeman
The elite unit of Sky Net took a brief rest at their original location. About half an hour later, they set out again and reached the continent’s edge without any issues, boarding the medium-sized ship.
"Strange!" Long Qie muttered as he walked.
Xiao Zheng asked with a smile, "What’s strange?"
Long Qie replied, "Beside the headquarters of the Demon Shield Bureau, there must be a stationed army. We caused such a commotion at their headquarters, they must have heard the news. Yet, along the way, I didn’t see a trace of them. Could there be some conspiracy?"
Xiao Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Of course, there is no conspiracy."
Long Qie respectfully said, "Please enlighten me, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Zheng said, "In the underground space of that headquarters, I have wiped out all the top brass of the Demon Shield Bureau. At this moment, the bureau must be in a leaderless state. In such a state, various chaos is bound to occur, naturally leaving no one interested in chasing us."
Long Qie suddenly realized.
A spark flashed in his mind, and he suddenly understood something, looking at Xiao Zheng in amazement, "Mr. Xiao, you had already anticipated this, hadn’t you? The reason you dared to devise such a bold plan is because you knew that if it succeeded, we could retreat smoothly!"
Xiao Zheng smiled silently.
Long Qie looked at Xiao Zheng with fervor. The Evil God truly had unparalleled schemes!
After the elite unit of Sky Net boarded the ship, Xiao Zheng ordered the ship to set sail and return to Sky Net’s camp at maximum speed.
However, shortly after the ship set out, a large warship suddenly appeared on the distant sea, speeding towards them swiftly.
A flag fluttered on that warship, bearing the insignia of the Demon Shield Bureau.
Long Qie was taken aback when he saw this scene and shouted, "The people from the Demon Shield Bureau are here!"
Xiao Zheng squinted his eyes and calmly said, "It should be that Sikureijeman and his people got the news and pursued us regardless."
Long Qie asked worriedly, "Mr. Xiao, what should we do? Our warriors have suffered heavy casualties."
Xiao Zheng’s gaze turned sharp, "Kill!"
Long Qie shivered and instantly felt his blood boiling, knowing what needed to be done. He then commanded the ship to charge towards the Demon Shield Bureau’s warship.
In no time, the two ships were only about a hundred or two hundred meters apart.
For the warriors on both sides, one or two hundred meters was already a short distance. With just one acceleration, the ships could collide, and by that time, they would storm onto the enemy’s ship and unleash a fierce battle.
However, both sides tacitly stopped at this distance.
Xiao Zheng coldly looked at the deck of the opposite warship, where a few people from the Demon Shield Bureau stood, led by Sikureijeman, the Red Giant, and Black Ji.
Besides them, the ship held countless bio-warriors, each with blood-red patterns on their bodies, signifying that they had consumed Demon Blood, significantly increasing their combat effectiveness.
Xiao Zheng smiled, realizing that Sikureijeman was also a decisive person, bringing his trump cards without hesitation.
"Evil God!"
Opposite, Sikureijeman’s voice was cold as he barked, "What did you do to our Demon Shield Bureau’s headquarters?"
Xiao Zheng blandly smiled and said, "Didn’t do much, just killed a few people. If I remember correctly, they should be the leaders of the Demon Shield Bureau."
"You killed all our leadership?" The expressions of Sikureijeman and others drastically changed, exclaiming in disbelief.
Their eyes revealed an incredulous look, as if shocked by a bolt from the blue.
"Hmph!" The Red Giant pointed at Xiao Zheng and shouted, "Evil God, don’t think such lies can deceive us. The defenses of our Demon Shield Bureau headquarters are impenetrable, how could a mere few thousand of you get in!"
"Believe what you want." Xiao Zheng showed no intention to explain, calmly saying, "You can find out everything once you return to the headquarters. Haha, I won’t stop you."
The Red Giant sneered, "You want to trick us into rushing back to the headquarters, letting you escape? Haha, Evil God, being the leader of Sky Net, how could you use such childish tactics? Do you take us for three-year-olds?"
Long Qie coldly said, "Watch your words!"
The Red Giant roared menacingly, "Watch what? Did I say anything wrong? Hmph, Evil God, come, let’s fight it out! I must keep you here today!"
Once the Red Giant entered combat mode, his personality would become extremely violent, and his power would increase when angry, making him extremely terrifying.
Xiao Zheng just smiled without speaking.
He was waiting for Sikureijeman to speak.
At this moment, Sikureijeman’s gaze flickered as he pondered how much truth there was in Xiao Zheng’s words.
He naturally wished to believe that Xiao Zheng was lying, but rationality reminded him that what Xiao Zheng said might be true.
Not for any other reason, but due to his respect and fear of Xiao Zheng.
Sikureijeman had confronted Xiao Zheng many times and deeply understood his terror. Not only did he possess earth-shattering strength, but he also had frighteningly high intelligence, and these two monstrous abilities fully integrated into one person, creating a frightening monster.
The Red Giant saw Sikureijeman’s indecision and became anxious, shouting, "Officer, what are you hesitating for? Give the order to attack!"
Sikureijeman coldly shouted, "Shut up!"
The Red Giant was unwilling but still closed his mouth.
Across the water, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Mr. Sikureijeman, have you made up your mind? If you really want to start a war, come on, Sky Net is not afraid of you."
Sikureijeman looked deeply at Xiao Zheng, finally saying, "We retreat! Head straight back to headquarters, do not engage with the Evil God."
The Red Giant’s eyes widened in astonishment, shouting, "Officer!"
Sikureijeman stared at the Red Giant, his expression gloomy, and coldly said, "What, do you intend to disobey orders?"
The Red Giant, unwilling as he was, stepped back and quietly said, "I wouldn’t dare."
"Bypass the Sky Net ship and head to headquarters." Sikureijeman commanded.
Immediately, the warship of the Demon Shield Bureau started moving again, cautiously taking a wide detour towards the northern Ice and Snow Continent.
Xiao Zheng did not stop them.
Long Qie breathed a sigh of relief.
Their warriors had been greatly depleted in the previous skirmish with the Demon Shield Bureau. If they had fought again now, it would have been extremely difficult.
However, just as the Demon Shield Bureau’s ship passed by in parallel with Sky Net’s ship, a blade-like icy glare flickered through Xiao Zheng’s eyes.
A killing intent surged skyward.
Xiao Zheng’s body flickered, appearing above the sea, lightly stepping forward, and with several strides, reached the deck of the Demon Shield Bureau’s warship.
