CHAPTER 1083: CHAPTER 1083: SEARCHING FOR ALPHONSO

Now, the power that Alphonso holds has significantly weakened, virtually losing all force.

So Xiao Zheng did not make a huge commotion.

Relying on just the three of them was enough.

Plus, this allowed for a stealthy operation.

The current Demon Shield Bureau has become a frightened bird; if they learn Sky Net is coming, the first thing they’ll do is flee.

Defeating them is not difficult, but if they manage to escape, that poses a bit of a problem.

Of course, Kun Gu Ni’er was brought along, just in case Alphonso had some terrifying technological weapons.

Soon, they arrived before that rainforest.

Gazing out, endless primeval trees filled their field of vision, stretching to the horizon, vast and majestic.

These ancient towering trees stood very tall, stretching out massive canopies, each seeming to occupy the entire sky.

"Even though we’ve seen such natural scenery many times, it still leaves one deeply awed," Long Qie remarked.

He was a Martial Artist, and Eastern Martial Artists emphasize the Unity of Heaven and Man, harmony with the environment, so he had a deeper understanding of the natural sights between heaven and earth.

Xiao Zheng and Titan both nodded in agreement, as the vast and magnificent natural scenery contained such overwhelming power that even the mere thought was exhilarating.

This was formed over tens or hundreds of thousands of years, through the cycles of time and shifting of space.

The three did not linger much outside; after a glance, they entered the rainforest.

Instantly, the surroundings dimmed.

The dense foliage blocked out the sunlight, making the forest canopy dark.

Moreover, the rainforest’s climate was exceedingly humid, enveloped everywhere by mist.

Occasionally, a rushing main river could be seen.

And some large canyons.

The terrain was extremely complex.

An ordinary person would definitely be hindered by such complex geography, but for Xiao Zheng and the others, it posed no difficulty.

Soon, they reached the depths.

"Heh, seems like there are people," Xiao Zheng suddenly raised his head, looking into the depths of the rainforest.

Swish swish!

Suddenly, several figures emerged from the depths of the rainforest, their bodies ghostly as they appeared before Xiao Zheng and the others.

Their eyes were icy, like those of venomous snakes, cold and emotionless.

"Leave here immediately, or you’ll all die," one person said menacingly.

Xiao Zheng looked at Long Qie and smiled, "You handle them."

"Alright." Long Qie laughed heartily, stepping forward.

"Hmm?" The figures showed signs of surprise and uncertainty, not expecting that these people weren’t afraid at all.

Immediately, one of them said coldly, "Since you wish to court death, then so be it."

With that, he drew a gun, pulled the trigger, but the expected gunshot never sounded; the gun was malfunctioning!

The man looked shocked; this gun was a premium item from the Demon Shield Bureau, with power comparable to some grenades, so how did it malfunction?

By this time, Long Qie was already like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, swiftly reaching the man, and lightly extending a hand to grab his neck.

"Die."

Long Qie softly uttered these words, and his fingers clamped down like pliers. Instantly, a sound of bones breaking was heard, and the man was lifeless.

Seeing this, the other two were terrified, fumbling to pick up their guns to aim at Long Qie, yet their guns remained inoperative.

They had no time to think much, exchanged glances, and showed a hint of ferocity in their eyes.

They were super bio-warriors trained by the Demon Shield Bureau, with strength reaching B-grade, comparable to Innate Masters, whom ordinary people couldn’t confront.

In that instant, they each drew a dagger and charged at Long Qie, the daggers trailing cold glints through the air, targeting Long Qie’s vital areas.

However, how could they be a match for a Grandmaster?

Both felt a blur before their eyes as two large hands grasped their necks respectively, a slight force, and they were dead.

Xiao Zheng said, "Since the Demon Shield Bureau’s scouts are already here, it means Alphonso’s location is not far off. Let’s move quickly and catch him off guard."

"Got it."

The two generals nodded.

At this, the three transformed into afterimages, sweeping towards the depths of the rainforest, killing several more of the Demon Shield Bureau’s scouts along the way, before arriving at a fortress.

This fortress was built within the rainforest, with only half protruding above ground, all exuding a cold steel sheen.

Evidently, it was constructed of steel, with such defensive power that even a glance was enough to strike fear.

Xiao Zheng and the others didn’t conceal themselves, so upon arriving, they were discovered.

Many people rushed over.

These people had no more experts, the strongest being merely B-grade. It seemed, after the previous battle, the Demon Shield Bureau’s power had diminished unimaginably.

"You take care of these people while I go find Alphonso," Xiao Zheng instructed.

With that, he strode towards the steel fortress.

The bio-warriors from the Demon Shield Bureau saw Xiao Zheng walking so openly towards it and angrily charged him.

However, Long Qie and Titan sneered and went forward. The two sides clashed immediately, but in front of two Grandmaster-level experts, they had no power to resist.

They came from both sides with tight formations to intercept Long Qie and Titan, some wielding daggers, some holding battle knives, flashing cold glints as they aimed for the two.

Yet Long Qie and Titan merely flickered their bodies, evading the attacks, and then launched their counterattack.

Each B-grade expert was no more than a child before them, easily brought down, screaming miserably.

Meanwhile, Xiao Zheng, without any hindrance, arrived before the steel fortress’s gate.

The gate was tightly shut.

Xiao Zheng merely smiled faintly, punching, and a tsunami-like energy surged out, crashing into the gate.

Boom!

With a loud crash, the immensely heavy steel gate fell down, revealing a deep passage.

The passage led downwards.

Evidently, Alphonso should be deep inside.

Xiao Zheng didn’t pause, heading deeper inside.
