Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Titan Returns!

After Hozon retreated, about half an hour later, Xiao Zheng stood up and said, "Alright, we can retreat now."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Initially, their plan was to retreat right after Hozon’s first attack by the Vine Armor Soldiers was repelled by fire.

However, at that time the conditions were simply not right; they had been through too many battles and were already covered in scars, lacking the energy to do so.

Having rested for a while, their energy had somewhat recovered. By this time, even if Hozon had seen through Xiao Zheng’s strategy, they would have been able to deal with it calmly.

Long Qie whistled loudly, the sound carrying far and wide. Soon, a shadow descended from the valley above; it was one of the Ten Killings.

He was most skilled at moving stealthily in these woods.

Xiao Zheng had long anticipated that Hozon, upon coming here, would surely send troops, so he had stationed this man in the valley to wait. As soon as any of Hozon’s soldiers were spotted, they would be killed.

The reason Hozon retreated was also significantly influenced by this ploy. Hozon, being cautious and suspicious but also very confident, seeing his soldiers killed, would surely suspect that there were ambushes hidden within the valley.

This was Xiao Zheng’s strategy, intricate and flawless.

Even someone as ruthless and cunning as Hozon was played like a puppet in his hands.

Once the crowd had gathered, under Xiao Zheng’s command, they quickly built a small raft, crossed the river, found their war horses on the other side, and swiftly departed.

By this time, even if Hozon had a thousand tricks up his sleeve, he could not catch up.

...

Back at the camp, Hozon couldn’t pinpoint why, but he always felt something was off; he faintly sensed that he might have fallen into a massive trap.

"Could it be that Xiao Zheng really came alone? No, that’s impossible. The Heavenly Net Evil God, how could he be so reckless? He must have brought reinforcements!"

Though Hozon reassured himself with this thought, he still couldn’t feel at ease.

"Well then, send a few Death Soldiers to check again."

Hozon clenched his teeth fiercely.

He believed that if Xiao Zheng and his party had really brought help, they would definitely still be in the valley and wouldn’t have left. Hozon knew of Xiao Zheng’s hatred towards him; if Xiao Zheng indeed had that kind of strength, he would surely think of how to breach Gourd Mouth in the coming time.

This was also a significant reason why Hozon had retreated from outside the valley at that time.

The strength at Gourd Mouth had been greatly depleted, and Xiao Zheng’s renewed attack would be very dangerous, so he had to withdraw his troops, arrange defenses, and rely on the natural advantages for protection.

If Xiao Zheng and his party had already left, then he himself had truly been deceived!

After Hozon gave the order, those Death Soldiers went. About two hours later, these soldiers hurried back, saying:

"Sect Leader, the valley is now completely empty. We boldly went in to check and discovered on both sides of the valley, many bodies hidden; they were the Vine Armor Soldiers we lost under Xiao Zheng’s fire attack that day."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Hozon’s body swayed.

"They have all run away?"

"The sides of the valley were hiding the bodies of Vine Armor Soldiers?"

"Are you sure?"

Hozon, having regained his composure, his expression turning into one of dreadful ferocity, began to bombard the Death Soldier with questions rapid-fire.

"Positively... certain."

The Death Soldier, trembling with fear, still managed to say with certainty.

Hozon was stunned for a moment.

Then, he suddenly burst into laughter and screamed with a fierce shout, "Xiao Zheng, you tricked me!" He spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and fell straight down.

...

At that time, in the secret base of Sky Net in Zhonghai City, under the cover of night, a Sky Net intelligence officer suddenly ran in.

He found a person in charge of the secret base and said anxiously, "I urgently need to see Lord Titan."

The responsible officer furrowed his brows and said, "Lord Titan has just awakened from treatment and is still recovering. What do you need him for?"

The intelligence officer said, "We just received news that Hozon has sent his ’Five Dragons,’ each a top-notch expert, to Zhonghai to make moves against Mr. Xiao’s relatives and friends.

Currently, Mr. Xiao and Lord Long Qie, along with Ten Killings, have gone to Southeast Asia. Without their presence, Sky Net in Zhonghai City is headless, and only Lord Titan can stabilize the situation and resolve the crisis."

The responsible officer’s face slightly changed, and he said, "Okay, you wait here, I will notify Lord Titan immediately."

Having said that,

The responsible officer immediately entered a special ward within the secret base.

In this ward, a massive man lay sprawled with his upper body bare, not even covered by a blanket, revealing muscles that twirled like serpentine dragons, emanating a fierce and wild aura.

At that moment, one of his hands was hooked to an IV drip, receiving fluids, while the other hand gripped a dumbbell weighing fifty kilograms, performing rehabilitation exercises, his body slightly sweating.

"Lord Titan."

The responsible officer said respectfully.

"What is it?" Titan smiled faintly and asked.

Although Titan appeared ferocious and robust, he was actually quite gentle-natured and always very kind to those around him.

However, when dealing with enemies, it was a completely different sight. Titan was undoubtedly the Demon King from Hell, feared by all!

The responsible officer said, "We just received news that someone is coming to Zhonghai City to attack Mr. Xiao’s family and friends."

"Oh?"

The dumbbell in Titan’s hand paused, and he suddenly lifted his head, his eyes bursting forth with a frigid, terrifying glare. He asked in a cold voice, "Is it confirmed?"

The responsible officer felt as though he were being stared down by a colossal beast, sweating profusely, but he still managed to respond clearly, "Yes... it’s confirmed."

"Heh."

Titan let out a cold laugh. In an instant, with a loud bang, the dumbbell was accurately thrown onto a rack three meters away, and then he nonchalantly pulled out all the IV needles from his body, rising like a mountain from the ground, abruptly standing up.

"Take me there, I want to see who dares touch Mr. Xiao’s people!"

A sharp, terrifying aura, like that of a primordial beast, radiated from Titan’s body.

"Yes."

The responsible officer immediately led Titan to the intelligence officer.

As the intelligence officer was about to speak, Titan waved his hand to interrupt him, saying succinctly, "You should know where those people are now, right? Take me there immediately."

After speaking, Titan pondered for a moment, then said, "Luo Yusheng is recovering quite well, bring him along as well.

We’re all brothers in Sky Net; if we don’t include him, he’ll feel bad. Yun Tianlong is still seriously injured, so let him rest, and don’t disturb him."
