CHAPTER 1036: CHAPTER 1036: FOLLOW YOU IN THE NEXT LIFE

The Titan stood at the mouth of the valley, covered in blood. Facing an oncoming biochemical warrior, he suddenly swung a saber he had snatched from the Magic Shield Bureau. With a flash of cold light, the saber cleaved the biochemical warrior in half, causing all its blood and innards to gush out wildly.

Although only a dozen people remained under the command of Titan and the remnants of Sky Net, the terrifying combat prowess of these individuals instilled fear in the biochemical warriors, making them hesitate to charge forward. Instead, they merely shook their heads from a distance and shouted, with cries of battle echoing in the air.

Seeing this scene, the Titan laughed heartily, eyes showing a trace of disdain, and shouted, "Magic Shield Bureau, is there not a single hero among you? Who dares to claim this great head of mine?"

On the expansive battlefield, not a single person responded to the Titan’s words; everyone remained silent.

The power of Titan alone was enough to intimidate tens of thousands of troops into silence. As the commander of the Magic Shield Bureau, Sikureijeman was infuriated, his face so dark it seemed about to drip with water.

"What are you all doing standing there? Charge and kill Titan for me!" Sikureijeman ordered harshly.

Many biochemical warriors did not dare to disobey Sikureijeman’s command, forcibly mustering their courage and charging at the Titan.

The Titan laughed heartily, standing like a lofty Divine Mountain at the mouth of the valley. Facing the tidal wave of assault from the Magic Shield Bureau, he swung his saber continuously, cutting down everyone who charged at him.

The remaining Sky Net remnants beside the Titan all roared and fought, each one falling under the assault of the Magic Shield Bureau’s biochemical warriors, but every drop of their blood took with them tenfold, a hundredfold of the enemy.

But in the end, the number of biochemical warriors from the Magic Shield Bureau was simply too great. Gradually, only the Titan was left at the mouth of the valley.

All the Sky Net remnants were sacrificed.

The Titan himself had dozens of wounds, and his entire body was dyed red with blood, a sight even Sikureijeman found somewhat moving.

At the Titan’s feet, a mountain of corpses had formed, all of them the bodies of biochemical warriors. One by one, they charged forward, and one by one, they fell at Titan’s feet, eventually forming a mountain of bodies.

The Titan stood at the top of this mountain, holding his saber, akin to a Divine, radiating awe-inspiring might.

This kind of spirit, this demeanor, was even more formidable than Xiang Yu at the Wujiang River’s edge who made the Han Army tremble. Sikureijeman was shaken. If such a fierce general could surrender and join their Magic Shield Bureau, it would be better than the likes of Steel Man. However, Sikureijeman knew this was impossible, and a sharp killing intent erupted in his eyes.

"He’s just one person left, charge and kill him!" Sikureijeman commanded his subordinates to attack.

A multitude of biochemical warriors roared wildly, trying to bolster their courage, launching suicide charges at the Titan again and again.

Yet each time, they were repelled by the Titan.

However, as time passed, the Titan’s counterattacks grew weaker and weaker, and the time it took to drive back the biochemical warriors increased with each attempt.

After slicing off a biochemical warrior’s head, the Titan turned his gaze to the back of the valley, where Long Qie had already led Xiao Zheng to safety.

The Titan’s lips curled into a satisfied smile, and then a surge of unstoppable momentum erupted from his eyes.

"King, I will follow you in the next life."

With this earth-shattering shout, the Gang Qi within Titan’s body blazed fiercely, and he became a crimson meteor, skyrocketing and crashing into the mouth of the valley.

Boom!

With a stone-shattering, earth-shattering sound echoing through the sky, the valley mouth shook violently. Then the cliffs on either side completely collapsed, crashing down to block the valley entrance.

With the valley blocked, the Magic Shield Bureau’s army was forced to clear the rubble if they wished to continue pursuing Xiao Zheng, a process that would take considerable time, causing Sikureijeman to rage.

"Damn Titan, even in death you still trip me up once!"

Yet, secretly, he sighed with relief. Titan’s earlier display had indeed frightened him.

His fighting spirit seemed never to wane, indefatigable and unnerving; fighting such a person was incredibly daunting.

Then, Sikureijeman ordered the remaining biochemical soldiers to clear a path through the valley mouth and pursue Xiao Zheng.

...

At this time, Long Qie led Xiao Zheng south, crossing the mountainous region to the area of the Great River of America.

Upon arrival, Long Qie instructed everyone to find a somewhat hidden place to rest temporarily while checking on Xiao Zheng’s condition.

At this moment, Xiao Zheng was exhausted, his face pale, unconscious, with a weak breath, appearing lifeless and devoid of vitality.

Long Qie, extremely anxious, asked Gongsun Wuliang, "Do you have any method to wake Mr. Xiao?"

Gongsun Wuliang, a figure in Sky Net knowledgeable in intelligence, knew a little about various fields. Although not as proficient as those who specialized in them for long periods, he was capable of making basic assessments and treatments.

After checking Xiao Zheng’s body, he sighed, "Mr. Xiao fought too hard before! He battled the Red Giant, charged through the Magic Shield Bureau’s biochemical army, single-handedly facing the Bureau’s five S-Class warriors. Even as a Martial Saint, he couldn’t withstand that. At this moment, the Gang Qi within him is utterly depleted..."

Long Qie said, "Are you saying Mr. Xiao can’t be saved?"

Gongsun Wuliang replied, "I’m not sure. The realm of a Martial Saint is mysterious and unexplained, involving too many factors. My level isn’t sufficient to provide an accurate assessment. I can only roughly understand Mr. Xiao’s current condition."

Long Qie was deeply worried.

But at this moment, there was nothing more to be done, only to wait and see if Xiao Zheng could awaken using his own strength.

Suddenly, in Xiao Zheng’s Dantian area, a golden luminous stream, like a golden flood dragon, coiled in his abdomen.

Long Qie widened his eyes, hurriedly observing, scarcely daring to breathe, fearing to disturb Xiao Zheng’s current transformation. Gongsun Wuliang also watched intently.

Buzz.

Accompanied by a faint sound of Gang Qi vibrating, that golden stream of light rose up, surging into Xiao Zheng’s meridians.

Then, it circulated through Xiao Zheng’s body’s meridians, continuously operating, ultimately forming a complete Grand Circulation.

"This feels so familiar, could it be... the Muscle Strengthening Scripture?" Long Qie wondered.
