Chapter 1407: Retreat!
"You..." Rob III’s eyes flickered with shock. Although Xiao Zheng’s attack just now didn’t cause him any harm, the thing it represented was truly terrifying.
To unleash such a ferocious attack, one must possess vast amounts of Gang Qi. If it were a master at the Martial Arts Peak, this wouldn’t be difficult. But Xiao Zheng was only at the Early Stage Martial Saint!
"How did you do it?" Amidst the smoke and thunderous explosions, Rob III stared intently at Xiao Zheng. This king of the Wolf Clan could no longer maintain his composure; what Xiao Zheng had done was beyond his understanding.
"Retreat!"
Xiao Zheng didn’t answer Rob III’s question. He shouted sharply, suddenly darting to the entrance they had come from, and Long Qie and the others quickly followed.
Through the recent confrontation, Xiao Zheng had roughly gauged Rob III’s strength, and there was no need to stay any longer.
"Stop!"
Rob III couldn’t have imagined that Xiao Zheng would flee so abruptly. He shouted hastily and pursued Xiao Zheng.
Crack!
However, Xiao Zheng’s speed was swift. After everyone jumped down to the entrance, a button was pressed, closing the door.
Boom!
Rob III’s face turned extremely dark as he punched out violently, all his power striking the door, which trembled violently but surprisingly did not break.
After all, this was a secret passage of the Werewolf Clan built to the highest specifications, so even Rob III couldn’t penetrate it for the time being. By the time he broke in, Xiao Zheng and the others would already be long gone!
"Seal off the entire valley!"
Rob III said coldly.
Even though Xiao Zheng and the others could escape the castle, there was only one exit in the Werewolf Valley. By sealing the exit, they wouldn’t be able to escape.
"Yes."
The guards who had been stationed outside all along promptly agreed, then hurriedly ran off to execute Rob III’s order.
Anyone with a smidge of sense could see that Rob III had plunged into a rage. If things went awry, the consequences would be dire.
"Evil God..."
After everyone left, Rob III stood amidst the ruins, regaining his calm, muttering the words "Evil God."
Tonight, Xiao Zheng had shocked him too much. First by appearing in his chamber through the Wolf Clan’s secret passage, and then by countering his Peak Martial Saint assault with Early Stage Martial Saint power!
Even though he hadn’t unleashed his full force at the time, being able to counter him was extraordinary!
What stunned Rob III more was Xiao Zheng’s decisiveness. He never expected Xiao Zheng would leave so abruptly.
"This is a terrifying opponent," Rob III mused inwardly.
...
...
Xiao Zheng led Long Qie and the others out the other end of the secret passage and said, "Rob III will surely mount a massive hunt for us and seal off the valley. We must leave quickly."
"Yes."
Long Qie and the others nodded.
The strategic objective of this mission had been achieved; Xiao Zheng had determined Rob III’s strength, and it was time to withdraw.
They hurriedly left the area, heading towards the valley entrance. The entire Werewolf Valley remained in chaos, flames raging everywhere. Some who had escaped from the Blood Prison, not wanting to flee, sought revenge, sparking huge chaos in the werewolf settlements within the valley.
In this chaotic situation, Xiao Zheng and his companions smoothly reached the valley entrance.
However, just as they were about to charge out, Xiao Zheng’s expression changed. He saw a squad of sleek werewolf soldiers standing at the valley entrance. The leader, clad in armor, had a cold gaze and emanated an extremely powerful aura. He was unmistakably a Martial Saint!
Xiao Zheng frowned deeply.
A Martial Saint wasn’t terrifying, but being delayed by this Martial Saint and then caught by Rob III would be troublesome.
"Quick battle, quick decision!"
Xiao Zheng shouted coldly, his wrist shaking as his violent Gang Qi surged wildly, coalescing into a golden giant sword. With a flash of golden light, it slashed down at that Martial Saint!
Long Qie and the others charged at the werewolf soldiers behind the Martial Saint. These werewolf soldiers were each highly skilled, possessing Grandmaster Realm strength, clearly the elite among the werewolves!
A skirmish erupted just like that.
The werewolf Martial Saint’s eyes glinted coldly. Whoever had broken the Blood Prison and released the criminals; as long as he was here, no one could leave!
Seeing the golden sword light slashing down and sensing its terrifying power, the werewolf Martial Saint dared not be careless. He drew a heavy machete from his waist, placing it in front of him, and entangled it with Gang Qi, causing it to emit a black glow.
Clang!
The golden giant sword clashed with the machete. The latter didn’t last a second before being directly cut apart. The werewolf Martial Saint was shocked, retreating quickly. Yet, Xiao Zheng pressed forward, the golden giant sword slashing down again.
Swish, swish, swish!
In an instant, he unleashed an incredibly terrifying power. The sword light shone brilliantly in the air, containing immense terror!
The werewolf Martial Saint was no match for Xiao Zheng, forced to retreat, barely countering. With a final strike, Xiao Zheng severed one of his legs!
"Ah..."
The werewolf Martial Saint screamed, collapsing to the ground.
Meanwhile, Long Qie and the others had almost dealt with all the Grandmasters.
"Charge out,"
Xiao Zheng commanded in a low voice. They all used their rapid movement techniques, swiftly dashing out from there. The werewolf Martial Saint wanted to block, but at this point, he could no longer do so, only able to watch as Xiao Zheng and his companions vanished into the night sky.
In no time, Rob III’s guards hurried over to the valley entrance, and upon seeing the situation, their hearts sank. The chief guard quickly shouted, "What happened?"
After the werewolf Martial Saint recounted the events, the Great Commander among the guards punched the stone wall.
"Damn it, they escaped!"
Now, Xiao Zheng and the others had left the valley, leaping into the forest. With Xiao Zheng’s skills, the werewolves couldn’t stop them, no matter how they pursued and intercepted.
...
...
After leaving the valley, Xiao Zheng and his group returned directly to Zhonghai. This trip to the Werewolf Territory might seem fruitless, but the gains were immense. Xiao Zheng now knew Rob III’s approximate level.
As the saying goes, "Know your enemy, know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat." In the upcoming intense battles, knowing Rob III gave him a bit more confidence.
