Seeing Costa walk out of the cabin with his people, Chu Nan finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he easily controlled that war fortress and relied on the powerful energy shield of the war fortress to forcefully endure the enemy’s fierce firepower attack and rush out of the encirclement, persisting until the reinforcements arrived, he was always unable to be completely at ease without truly letting Dong Fang escape.
Now that Costa had arrived with the reinforcements of the Seres Security Company, Chu Nan dared to say that Dong Fang had finally obtained safety.
“Alright, Uncle Costa, I’ll leave Dong Fang and the others to you.” Chu Nan pushed Dong Fang beside him and paused for a moment before leaning towards Costa and whispering, “Don’t believe these locals. The guy who caused this might be related to them.”
Costa glanced at the representatives of the local forces behind Dong Fang and Chu Nan who were still a little confused. He nodded lightly and invited Dong Fang into the low-altitude shuttle behind him before gesturing for the other representatives to board another low-altitude shuttle.
After arranging these people, Costa also heaved a sigh of relief. He patted Chu Nan and said, “Kid, I heard from that guy called Bruce from the Silisus Chamber of Commerce that you actually rushed into the enemy’s fleet alone. Now, you actually hijacked a war fortress and brought Dong Fang and the others back safely. It’s simply unbelievable. Tell me, how did you do it?”
Chu Nan grinned and shook his head. “Now is not the time to say this. Uncle Costa, bring Dong Fang and the others back first. I still have to go back.”
Costa was stunned. “Where are you going?”
Chu Nan turned to look in the direction where he had flown over and his expression sank again.
“Dong Fang said that Uncle Mu Luo has also been captured by those guys. I have to go back and save him.”
“You’re crazy!” Costa glared and grabbed Chu Nan’s arm, “It was not easy for you to escape with Dong Fang. Do you still want to go back and court death? Our main mission now is to send Dong Fang and the others back safely. As for Mu Luo…”
A pained expression flashed across Costa’s face.
“He’s an employee of our company. He still has this awareness.”
Chu Nan shook his head. “I’m not an employee of your company. I’m sorry, I don’t have the awareness to abandon Uncle Mu Luo.”
After saying that, Costa suddenly felt an irresistible Internal Breath vibration on Chu Nan’s arm and shook off his hand. Then, before he could react, Chu Nan’s figure flashed and he disappeared in front of him.
When Costa reacted and turned around, he discovered that Chu Nan had already flown more than a thousand meters away and had turned into a small black dot in the distant sky.
“Damn, why has this kid become so strong now?” Costa was immediately shocked.
The last time he and Mu Luo brought their subordinates to the Purple Cloud Planet to protect his family because of the attack on Chu Nan’s family was only half a year ago.
At that time, Chu Nan had only just become an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist.
Now, not only had he broken through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate, he was even powerful to this extent. It was simply unbelievable!
Costa was stunned for a long time before he turned around and discovered that Dong Fang was standing behind him. He could not help but panic, “Dong Fang, isn’t Chu Nan your friend? You actually didn’t stop him?”
“Why should we stop him?” Dong Fang shrugged and smiled casually, “Apart from him, I dare say that no one else can save Mu Luo and the others safely.”
“How is this possible?! He’s only one person. He…”
Dong Fang raised his hand and pressed it on Costa’s shoulder, holding back the second half of his sentence.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already seriously discussed it with Chu Nan on the way here. This plan is indeed the most suitable now. With Chu Nan’s current ability, even if he can’t successfully save Mu Luo and the others, it’s not a problem for him to protect himself.”
“That’s impossible!” Costa immediately shook his head, “Even if his strength grows too quickly, he’s only a Void Break Martial Artist now. How can he save people under the noses of so many enemies?”
“Then how do you think he saved me and such a large group of people?” Dong Fang asked with a smile.
“This…” Costa was immediately speechless.
Dong Fang was now standing in front of him intact, fully indicating that Chu Nan had indeed done something unbelievable and proved that he had an extremely powerful ability.
However… Costa still could not believe it.
After pondering for a moment, he said to Dong Fang, “How about this? Take those people from the caravan and a large group to leave first. The Sky Fleet should have already sent the landing ship down at this moment. You can directly bring them back to the Space Fleet. No one here can threaten you. That way, it’ll be completely over.”
“What about you?”
“I’ll bring the remaining two brigades to chase after Chu Nan. No matter what, I can’t watch him die like this.”
Dong Fang smiled and did not refute Costa’s opinion. He only waved at him.
“Then go quickly. If you’re late, you might not have anything to do.”
Costa frowned deeply and looked at Dong Fang in confusion.
He could not understand at all. Dong Fang had mentioned many times that Chu Nan was his best friend. Now that this best friend had done something that was no different from courting death in Costa’s opinion, it was really strange that Dong Fang did not show any anxiety.
However, he also knew that this was not the time to investigate this. He quickly issued a series of orders and assigned the three low-altitude shuttle brigades he had brought. Then, he bade farewell to Dong Fang and divided them into two groups before leading the two brigades to fly in the direction Chu Nan had left.
Seeing that they had flown far away, Dong Fang smiled and shook his head. He took out the personal terminal that was like a strand of hair that he had taken out in front of Chu Nan and opened the virtual screen. He glanced at the still bright light dot and revealed a puzzled expression.
“This kid… why does he seem to have changed into a different person after going to the Holy Mountain of the Rand Clan?”
…
He activated Life Explosion with all his might and a dazzling white light surrounded Chu Nan, allowing his body to fly quickly in the clouds at a terrifying speed that exceeded the speed of sound. He brought about a straight trajectory in the clouds and flew in the direction he had just escaped.
With the super-flying speed added by the Life Explosion, it took the war fortress two hours to fly 200 kilometers. He only used ten minutes to easily fly over.
Seeing that a huge black ball could already be vaguely seen in the sky ahead, Chu Nan slowed down and stopped burning his life. At the same time, he retracted his aura and carefully hid his body in the clouds without revealing any traces.
When he hijacked that war fortress and fled with Dong Fang and the others just now, although the enemy also pursued him, they had to leave at least half of their forces to protect the remaining war fortress. In the end, they could only split half to pursue him.
In the process of pursuit, Chu Nan had continuously left the war fortress to attack and destroyed more than half of the low-altitude shuttles sent by the enemy. In the end, only more than 30 low-altitude shuttles remained and chased all the way to the fleet of the Seres Security Company led by Costa before being easily eliminated.
The remaining batch of enemies and the remaining war fortress slowly advanced in this direction. It seemed that they did not plan to give up on chasing after him, which made Chu Nan feel a little strange.
Before he caught up to the enemy, Chu Nan originally thought that since the other party could suppress Dong Fang and the others who were protected by a Void Break Martial Artist like Uncle Mu Luo, his strength should be extremely powerful.
However, from the beginning of the battle until now, although Chu Nan had already fought with several enemy Void Break Martial Artists, they were only low-level Void Break Martial Artists. Up until now, he had never encountered an enemy expert who made him feel troubled like Dakota and Kansas.
Since these guys dared to do such a bold thing, they should not only have such mediocre strength.
Otherwise, not to mention the help of Chu Nan and the Earth Federation, they could not even deal with the local forces of Nightclub City, including the Silisus Chamber of Commerce.
He did not have enough strength, but he still wanted to cause trouble. Wasn’t this courting death?
