CHAPTER 984: CHAPTER 984: BORROWING HUMILITY

A terrifying power, slowly accumulating, waiting for the final moment to be unleashed.

Bang!

Bang bang bang!

The next moment, countless explosive sounds echoed in the void. These biochemical warriors released their grip, and those hideous iron arrows, driven by mighty forces, sliced through the air, tracing a long arc toward the Sky Net’s mothership.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The void even erupted with this ghostly howling sound, as the speed of the long arrows was so fast that it stirred up a piercing wind.

The dense fog churned, the winds screeched, tens of thousands of iron arrows blanketed the sky like a black cloud flashing with cold light, descending from high above, targeting the Sky Net’s mothership.

This was a grand yet terrifying scene.

Sikureijeman laughed heartily.

Under such an attack, nothing could withstand it. Even a mothership-level vessel would be turned into a pincushion.

The warriors on this great ship naturally stood no chance of survival.

"Heh heh, Evil God, despite all your efforts, didn’t you expect that you’re just throwing yourself into the net at this moment?" Sikureijeman, looking at the distant mothership shrouded in fog, spoke smugly to himself, regardless of whether Xiao Zheng could hear him.

"The reason you endured for three days earlier must be to rouse a sense of humiliation among your warriors. Then tonight, with the fog spreading, you would lead this group of angry warriors to sneak attack the Demon Shield Bureau’s headquarters.

You even placed everyone on a single great ship, deploying just one vessel, to reach my Demon Shield Bureau’s headquarters faster. Seizing the advantage of timing and location, naturally, you expected to secure a great victory!"

"It’s a pity though."

"It’s a pity that you were wrong! The power of my Demon Shield Bureau is beyond your imagination. Under this Evil Dragon Bow’s cover, your plot dug yourself a grave. Everyone’s crammed on one ship, facing so many arrows, you can’t even hide!"

"Ha ha ha, after this battle, even if you manage to escape, you wouldn’t accomplish much!"

Behind Sikureijeman, Steel Man and others wore smiles at the corners of their mouths.

They fully agreed with Sikureijeman’s words.

Soon, the first round of long arrows had been completed. Looking from a distance through the fog, it seemed many aboard that great ship had been hit by arrows, and many had already fallen.

Sikureijeman hesitated not a bit and ordered his men to release another volley of arrows.

He was a very cautious person, and having found such an opportunity, naturally, he would make full use of it. If he could stack arrows to bury the Sky Net without losing a single soldier, it would be immensely worthwhile!

Arrows are nothing much, though in this environment shielded by Kun Gu Ni’er where technological weapons are unusable, they are crucial. But to the Demon Shield Bureau, this is insignificant.

As long as Sky Net can be eliminated, even if it takes exhausting all the long arrows during this period, he wouldn’t bat an eye.

Inside the Sky Net mothership, Long Qie and others were shocked by the Demon Shield Bureau’s assault and shouted angrily, ready to rush out to fend off the attack.

However, after running a few steps, they stopped, staring at the scene outside with wide eyes, showing expressions of astonishment.

Only to see those black iron arrows, like a torrential rain, tearing through the fog and falling from the sky, piercing right through those Steel Puppets.

The Steel Puppets, under this massive impact, would fall with a bang when hit by twenty to thirty arrows, a continuous crashing sound ringing, as arrow-studded puppets fell one after another.

In an instant, the deck and even the hull were densely pierced with the Demon Shield Bureau’s black iron arrows, and the number of these black iron arrows continued to grow.

Since the control room was made with extremely high-strength alloy, capable of withstanding even missile strikes, it remained completely intact.

Long Qie, staring blankly at this scene, suddenly jumped up, exclaiming,

"I understand now!"

He turned excitedly, shouting to Xiao Zheng: "The plan, Mr. Xiao, this is your real plan, isn’t it? You intend to exhaust all the Demon Shield Bureau’s long arrows without any effort, so then their bows and arrows, lacking arrow shafts, would no longer pose a threat to us."

Xiao Zheng smiled lightly and said, "You’re not entirely stupid."

Titan suddenly realized upon hearing this.

Gongsun Wuliang eyed Xiao Zheng with deep admiration.

Meanwhile, Dugu Baitian remained calm, as if already aware of Xiao Zheng’s plan.

"Ha ha ha, with this blunder, the Demon Shield Bureau is at a big loss; without those meticulously prepared arrows, their combat power would at least drop by fifty percent!"

Long Qie grew more excited the more he thought about it, feeling all of Xiao Zheng’s unusual actions and various doubts over the past few days had been explained.

"Moreover, these past three days, no matter how the Demon Shield Bureau provoked or insulted, Mr. Xiao, you didn’t act because you feared their weaponry. If you had acted rashly, you would certainly have suffered significant setbacks," Long Qie concluded.

Titan looked at Xiao Zheng with a respectful gaze and said, "Mr. Xiao, you truly are prescient and strategist! Your plan must have formed at the very beginning, but to achieve this effect, you didn’t tell anyone. Otherwise, flaws might have been exposed."

"I have another question," Long Qie urgently asked, "Mr. Xiao, how did you know there would be a fog tonight? It’s so uncanny, as if you could foresee it! A satellite survey might explain it, but here, no technological instruments can be used!"

At this moment, Dugu Baitian spoke, calmly saying, "Martial Arts masters, Unity of Heaven and Man."

Dugu Baitian was a man of few words, and after these, he said no more. However, Long Qie, Titan, and Gongsun Wuliang instantly understood that martial artists, upon reaching a high level, could perceive the world. Clearly, this was one of Xiao Zheng’s abilities after breaking into the Martial Saint Realm.

"Alright, no more talking," Xiao Zheng waved his hand and glanced outside, saying, "I see their arrows are nearly exhausted; now we can return."

Subsequently, Xiao Zheng ordered the great ship to turn around, making a distant arc, heading toward the Sky Net’s camp, increasingly farther from the Demon Shield Bureau’s fleet.

"Director, they’ve fled," Steel Man and others excitedly relayed to Sikureijeman from the watchtower.

Sikureijeman laughed heartily and said, "There’s no need to chase; we wouldn’t catch them anyway. However, they must have suffered heavy casualties, ha ha ha."
