Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Long Qie Apologizes

"Humph."

The Titan just snorted with cold laughter.

The Swift Dragon charged frenziedly, its entire being like a drill bit, even puncturing a hole in the air as it hurtled toward the Titan.

Its technique was terrifying. Once in Southeast Asia, this Swift Dragon had employed it to penetrate a thick steel plate directly!

Flesh and blood could hardly withstand it.

But the Titan stood undaunted, taking just a slight step back, inhaling deeply before suddenly bellowing and unleashing a punch that howled through the air, colliding with the Swift Dragon.

Boom!

Thunderous sound erupted like a tsunami, spreading in all directions.

With a piercing scream, the Swift Dragon’s body, still mid-air, exploded... obliterated by the Titan’s punch.

The scene resembled a giant hammer smashing down on an egg.

"Your turn,"

said the Titan, turning to the Tyrannosaurus with a smile.

"Is he even human?"

At this point, the Tyrannosaurus trembled in his soul, harboring only one thought: to flee as quickly as possible, but it was already too late.

He had charged so fiercely that he was now right above the Titan, the fragments of the Swift Dragon’s corpse pelting down on him like torrential rain.

Clenching his teeth hard, the Tyrannosaurus knew that there was no chance of escape at this point. A final stand might still hold a sliver of hope for survival.

With a mighty roar, the Tyrannosaurus’ fists, even more ferocious, barreled toward the Titan.

Boom!

The air itself burst into rumbles.

The Tyrannosaurus suddenly felt a rush of joy, as his previous attacks could never have achieved this effect. Enduring such immense pressure of life and death, he had made a breakthrough!

His strength had become stronger than before.

Excited, the Tyrannosaurus fixed his eyes on the Titan, his fists like meteorites whistling through the air.

"Titan, take my punch!"

The Titan, witnessing this, was momentarily stunned, then laughed, saying, "To break through in the midst of battle, you are quite the talent, but unfortunately, you’ve met me."

The Titan spoke swiftly but very clearly. After speaking, his gaze turned icy; a terrifying aura burst forth from his body, full to the brim with bloodlust!

In that moment, the Titan seemed to have transformed, an intense killing intent swirling around him.

"Since you’ve pushed your limits and broken through in battle, I’ll show you some respect, and use my strongest technique against you,"

the Titan bellowed.

Then, he surged forward abruptly.

In that instant, he truly resembled a colossal Titan deity, an overwhelming force gushing from his body.

The Tyrannosaurus screamed in agony as he was crushed to dust by the oncoming force of an ancient behemoth.

Boom!

His body was sent flying, exploding in mid-air.

Blood rained down from the sky.

Thud thud thud...

As the fragments of the corpses hit the ground, the secluded corner of the port fell back into tranquility.

All five dragons sent by Hozon fell in the Titan’s assault!

"Didn’t get enough,"

muttered the Titan, shaking his head and striding towards Luo Yusheng. He hoisted him onto his shoulder and walked away, signaling Futu to clean up the aftermath.

...

While the Titan and Luo Yusheng were slaying the five dragons in Zhonghai City, down in Southeast Asia, Xiao Zheng and Long Qie, along with Ten Killings and others, had already completely left Gourd Mouth.

At last, they arrived at a small outpost that Sky Net had set up in Southeast Asia to rest and recuperate.

"You all are injured, so don’t worry about anything right now and get some rest," Xiao Zheng tenderly instructed everyone.

"Yes," they replied.

Ten Killings and the others all accepted the order and left.

Inside the room, only Xiao Zheng and Long Qie remained.

"Long Qie, what’s wrong?"

Xiao Zheng, noticing that Long Qie looked a bit off, asked with a smile.

Bang!

With a loud crash, Long Qie, like pushing down a golden mountain or toppling a jade pillar, fell to his knees. The eyes of this tough man turned bloodshot, and large tear drops rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

"Mr. Xiao, I was wrong! It’s all my fault that so many brothers died at the hands of Hozon, it’s all because of me," Long Qie sobbed.

Xiao Zheng sighed upon hearing this.

The losses from the mission to Gourd Mouth were indeed too devastating!

More than a dozen brothers were lost there, and so many were injured...

"It’s good that you recognize your fault."

Afterward, looking at Long Qie who knelt on the ground, Xiao Zheng did not tell him to get up, but instead said in a cold tone, "If it weren’t for you, they would not have died."

Long Qie’s body trembled.

Hearing Xiao Zheng say this filled him with regret, guilt, and heartache. He was so overwhelmed that he wished he could die!

"But do you want them to have died in vain?"

Xiao Zheng said coldly.

"Of course not," Long Qie replied in pain.

"If that’s the case, then stand up! Stop crying here. You need to avenge them, you need to provide for their parents, you need to take care of their children and siblings!

They have indeed perished, but you must live well on their behalf!"

Xiao Zheng’s voice was icy, "If you are a man, then rally your spirits and stand up!"

Upon hearing Xiao Zheng’s words, Long Qie’s body shook, and it was as if thunder had struck his mind.

"I understand. I cannot wallow in self-pity and pointless sorrow here. I need to avenge them, take care of their parents, children, and siblings. I have done wrong, I let those brothers die in vain, and I must atone for my mistakes."

Wiping the tears from his eyes, Long Qie stood up, his gaze once again filled with determination, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Xiao, I understand."

"Hmm, since you understand, then go," Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "In the next few days, I intend to close the net. At that time, we will eliminate Hozon to avenge our brothers!"

"Yes," Long Qie nodded firmly and left the room.

"Having gone through this ordeal, this youngster should have grown up," Xiao Zheng said with a faint smile as he watched Long Qie depart.

In Sky Net, Long Qie was the one who pleased him the most, and his natural talent was indeed outstanding, a true material to be molded.

However, Long Qie’s character was somewhat arrogant, and excessive arrogance and underestimation of the enemy were his flaws and weaknesses.

Although he often turned dangers into safety with his extraordinary strength, this time, facing a formidable figure like Hozon, he finally encountered a severe setback.

And after this setback, his temperament would likely become more stable, curbing some of his impulsiveness and arrogance, and turning into a true general.

This time, the Sky Net members, apart from Ten Killings, were all from organizations that Sky Net had previously established in Southeast Asia. Ultimately, they were not the true elite members of Sky Net.

If their deaths could teach Long Qie and Ten Killings such a lesson, then their sacrifice was worthwhile!

Of course, in Xiao Zheng’s view, the so-called legendary Hozon was nothing more than a small fry. The reason he had been fighting this long with Hozon was that he had his reasons...

Because if a net is cast out, it must reel in a big fish!

Otherwise, the legends wouldn’t be enough to satisfy the appetite of the Evil God!
