CHAPTER 1031: CHAPTER 1031: I WANT TO CARVE OUT A PATH TO SURVIVAL

Xiao Zheng led his people to this small valley, looked around at the terrain, and instructed everyone to stop here for a temporary rest.

However, they hadn’t rested for long when a deafening shout came from afar, and Xiao Zheng and the others were startled and looked outside.

Outside the valley, there was a flat plain.

Unexpectedly, at some unknown time, tens of thousands of troops from the Demon Shield Bureau appeared here.

These tens of thousands of troops approached swiftly and stopped at the mouth of the valley.

A general stepped out from these tens of thousands of troops and came to the front, surprisingly it was an A-level master from the Demon Shield Bureau, second only to those S-level masters like Steel Man, named Durant.

He laughed heartily and said, "People of Sky Net, how do you like the taste of anthrax virus? Hahaha, I wonder how many of you are left now?"

Long Qie was furious and shouted sharply, "Demon Shield Bureau, don’t be arrogant. Even if there’s only one person left in Sky Net, we will thrash you to pieces!"

Durant laughed heartily and said, "You are just struggling on your deathbed, no matter how loud you scream, it makes no difference."

Durant pointed to the army behind him and said with a chuckle, "Do you see this? This is the military strength of our Demon Shield Bureau! This valley entrance is the key route to leave the Ice and Snow Jungle. Lord Sikureijeman specifically ordered us to guard here. His scheming is like a god, and you actually appeared here, hahaha, running right into our ambush. How does it feel?"

The people of Sky Net looked grim.

Some of the warriors even showed fear on their faces.

If Sky Net still had twenty to thirty thousand people, they wouldn’t be afraid; but now they only had five thousand!

How could five thousand people possibly achieve victory against tens of thousands of troops on the other side?

Moreover, behind them was the Ice and Snow Jungle, filled with anthrax virus; retreating would mean death, they could only move forward.

Whichever way you looked at it, they were now trapped in a dead end.

Long Qie looked at Xiao Zheng and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Xiao, the Demon Shield Bureau has tens of thousands of troops, and we only have five thousand people; no matter how we look at it, we are not their match. It’s better that you retreat first! We will hold them off here for you, and in the future, rebuild Sky Net and avenge us."

Titan also nodded and said, "Long Qie is right, any of us can die, but Mr. Xiao, you cannot die. If you die, Sky Net is truly finished. If you live, there’s still a chance to avenge us."

The determination to advance despite the obstacles was evident in their eyes.

In order to sacrifice themselves for Xiao Zheng, to cover for his retreat.

Xiao Zheng was moved and said, "Having brothers like you is truly my good fortune. However..." as he spoke, Xiao Zheng’s expression turned stern and cold, "I will not escape alone!"

Long Qie, Titan, Gongsun Wuliang, and others all anxiously shouted, "Mr. Xiao!"

Xiao Zheng waved his hand and said, "No need to say more, I have made my decision, and it will not change."

Xiao Zheng turned around and looked at the five thousand Sky Net soldiers, his voice saddened as he said, "This time, we came to conquer the Demon Shield Bureau, how many did we bring? A full fifty thousand! But how many are left now? Only five thousand."

"All of them were good men with parents and wives and children! And they were buried on the battlefield of the northern land, not even able to receive a proper burial." As he spoke, hot tears welled up in Xiao Zheng’s eyes.

A man does not shed tears easily, it’s only when the heart is truly broken.

Seeing his warriors bleed one after another along the way, how could Xiao Zheng not feel heartache?

How could he, for his own survival, let these remaining five thousand people stay behind?

Xiao Zheng said coldly, "Today, I will use my Martial Saint Body to carve out a path of survival for you. I will lead you, all of you, safely back to Sky Net!"

Long Qie, Titan, and many other generals, along with the five thousand Sky Net warriors, all knelt down and cried out with bloodshot eyes, "King, please retreat! You must not die!"

Durant and numerous biochemical soldiers from the Demon Shield Bureau saw this scene and were all shocked.

Such an iron army inspires fear.

Xiao Zheng laughed heartily, his heroic spirit soaring to the sky, and shouted, "Would I, the Evil God, flee in battle?" His gaze suddenly turned sharp as he looked at Durant and shouted, "Demon Shield Bureau, here I come!"

Xiao Zheng paid no attention to Long Qie and others’ attempts to stop him, wielded his Mystical Sky Battle Sword, and charged at Durant.

Durant, knowing how formidable Xiao Zheng was, didn’t engage with Xiao Zheng at all, and without a second thought, fled madly towards the rear of the army, shouting in panic, "Demon Shield Bureau army, obey my command and kill the Evil God!"

A multitude of soldiers immediately surged forward.

Xiao Zheng laughed crazily and shouted, "I will carve a path of survival."

Boom!

As soon as he finished his words, golden Gang Qi erupted from Xiao Zheng’s body like flames, and the mystical Sky Battle Sword he held was also enveloped in this dazzling flame-like golden Gang Qi, then extended into a three-meter-long golden Sword Gang.

"Perish!"

Xiao Zheng, with divine authority, roared and swung his Mystical Sky Battle Sword in a sweeping motion forward.

The biochemical soldiers from the Demon Shield Bureau rushing in were all within three meters of the Sword Gang, letting out shrill screams, and were all cut down.

Xiao Zheng continued forward without pause, cutting down everything blocking his path with a golden Sword Gang, splitting them in two.

Devastatingly powerful.

Unstoppable!

Long Qie and Titan, seeing this, could only shout, "Follow Mr. Xiao, let’s charge out."

Five thousand troops immediately charged out of the valley, following behind Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng at this moment was slaughtering like a madman, even the Mystical Sky Battle Sword in his hand, with golden Gang Qi, was stained with a layer of blood red.

No one could resist his sharpness.

Wherever he passed, there were only corpses.

The biochemical soldiers here, though numbering in the tens of thousands, were all terrified, wondering what kind of person he was, could he be a Demon God from Hell?

With the emergence of the golden Sword Gang, no one could block it. Everything standing in front of this Sword Gang was cut in two.

These biochemical soldiers parted like flowing water, creating a broad passage for Xiao Zheng to pass through.

Just as Xiao Zheng said, he truly carved out a path of survival!

Long Qie and Titan, following behind Xiao Zheng, were extremely worried.

"Manpower is ultimately limited. Using such fierce methods to kill so many enemies in a short time, even a Martial Saint might not withstand it."

"Mr. Xiao is going all out!"

Their lips trembled, wanting to say something, but in the end, it turned into a lion’s roar, as they wielded their weapons, charging at the enemy, trying to relieve some pressure off Xiao Zheng.

"Damn it! Go quickly notify Lord Sikureijeman, no, I will go notify them." Meanwhile, in the distance, Durant was terrified, scared out of his wits, and without a second thought, fled the scene, preparing to seek reinforcements from Sikureijeman and others.

At this point, Xiao Zheng simply couldn’t be stopped; staying here meant certain death.
