914 Everything Is Ready
Chu Nan hid in the clouds and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the thick clouds rolling wildly in the sky.
In places that could not be seen with the naked eye, the spatial energy in the space around him was even more terrifying. The situation was not much inferior to the alternate space.
Under such circumstances, Chu Nan’s expression did not change at all. Be it the terrifying spatial energy surging around him or the hundreds of ferocious and equally terrifying A-rank ferocious beasts that filled the entire cloud, they could not make his eyelids twitch.
The only thing he was concerned about was the intense battle in the clouds ahead.
It was Chu Nan’s previous plan to lure the two Heaven Control experts, Rowe and Ankelu, into the planet’s atmosphere and let them fight fiercely with the ferocious beasts that were mobilized at night.
Now that he saw that Ankelu, who had flown down with him, was being surrounded by dozens of A-rank ferocious beasts that were different in the description but had equally terrifying auras, Chu Nan could not help but smile.
“Heh, play with these monsters first.”
The corners of Chu Nan’s mouth curled into a smile. Then, his figure flashed and he quietly fell from the clouds.
Although some ferocious beasts wanted to block his path along the way, they were all used by Chu Nan to use his extremely fast speed and powerful flexibility. Most importantly, through his powerful data ability, he cleverly avoided them and circled the completely dark sky a few times. Before long, he quietly broke through the layers of encirclement of the ferocious beasts and landed on the island again.
This time, no one else came up to welcome him. Chu Nan rushed into the cave where Tiago and the others were hiding.
“Heh, Chu Nan, you’re finally back!” When Okiya saw Chu Nan appear, she was the first to jump up. She asked nervously and excitedly, “How is it? How is it? What’s the situation now?”
Chu Nan looked around and saw that the others were staring at him. Many of them had serious expressions and there was a trace of nervousness in their eyes, so they revealed confident smiles.
“Don’t worry, everything is going according to plan for the time being.”
He raised the personal terminal in his hand and opened the virtual screen. A star map that was not especially detailed appeared.
In the star map, a small dot of light was drawing an arc in the sea of stars and moving at high speed towards the planet they were on.
This dot of light was the small spaceship that Chu Nan had obtained from Captain Norman.
Previously, he had set this small spaceship to be automatic and its destination was this planet. Or to be more precise, it was with his personal terminal as the destination.
Chu Nan made a setting on his personal terminal and took it off to hand to Tiago.
“Here, Tiago. The spaceship will arrive on this planet in about two hours and fly over according to the location provided by this personal terminal. At that time, you can board the spaceship with the others and leave this planet as quickly as possible.”
At this point, Chu Nan smiled.
“I’ve already destroyed those guys’ spaceships. As long as you can fly out of the atmosphere and enter space, they won’t have many methods to catch up to you and you’ll be safe. Next, you only need to follow the setup of the star map left behind on the spaceship and jump through the stargate to Planet Eton of the Kasha Kingdom. Someone will receive you there.”
Hearing that Chu Nan had already made arrangements and really had hope of escaping the dilemma, everyone immediately became excited and many people revealed happy expressions.
However, Tiago glanced at the personal terminal in his hand and frowned.
“What about you? Aren’t you coming with us?”
Hearing this question, everyone was stunned before they instantly reacted.
Earlier, Chu Nan had been talking about “you” and “you guys” for a long time, but he did not mention him.
Could it be that… he did not plan to leave?
“Me?” Chu Nan smiled, “It takes time for the spaceship to enter the atmosphere, land, take off, and leave. This period of time is very dangerous. If the two Heaven Control Martial Artists attack, you might not be able to leave. In order to ensure that you can leave, I have to block those two fellows.”
Chu Nan spoke casually, but the others widened their eyes in shock.
“Oh, my god! How can that do?!” Okiya was originally staring at the star map on the personal terminal in Tiago’s hand to observe. When she heard Chu Nan’s answer, she immediately raised her head and looked at him in surprise, “Chu Nan, are you crazy? Those are two Heaven Control experts! You actually want to stop them alone?”
Tiago also frowned deeply, “Chu Nan, this is too dangerous. Although I admit that you’re very strong, you’re only an initial-stage Heaven Control Martial Artist who has successfully condensed a star cloud. According to your description, those two enemies are at least third-stage Heaven Control experts. It’s impossible for you to stop them.”
“Apart from me, there’s no other suitable candidate.” Chu Nan shook his head.
Chu Nan did not say the reason, but everyone knew very well.
The reason why only Chu Nan was suitable was very simple. Among so many people, he was the only one who had successfully condensed a star cloud and broken through to the Heaven Control Realm. He had the ability to fight the two Heaven Control experts in space.
Otherwise, even if the other party could not find them on the surface, they only needed to guard outside the atmosphere. When the spaceship flew out of the atmosphere, they could discover it immediately. At that time, the two Heaven Control experts of the other party would intercept them in space with their powerful personal strength. It was impossible for Void Break Martial Artists like them to resist.
Everyone was silent for a moment before Tiago sighed and suddenly stretched out his hand.
“Chu Nan, I have to apologize to you.”
“Apologize?” Chu Nan was a little strange, “Why apologize?”
“Do you remember the first time we met?” Tiago asked.
Chu Nan rolled his eyes and recalled the first time he saw Tiago in the passageway of Planet Tomrelle’s space station. He could not help but laugh.
At that time, there was no friendly atmosphere between him and Tiago. They even secretly competed.
“To be honest, I did not take you seriously at that time and thought that you were only a guy from a small country like the Earth Federation. Even if you were praised by the media of your Earth Federation, you could not be much stronger. I could completely defeat you easily.” Tiago looked at Chu Nan with a serious expression, “But now, you’ve already used facts to prove your strength.”
Hearing Tiago’s praise, Chu Nan only smiled and did not feel anything special. Instead, he felt strange.
Why did Tiago suddenly say this at this moment?
Tiago took a deep breath and his expression became even more serious, “Therefore, I have to apologize to you for my contempt for you at that time and for the fact that I can’t help you now. I’m not a wishy-washy woman, and I won’t be so pretentious as to reject your help. However… Chu Nan… I’ll remember what you did for us this time.”
Chu Nan laughed and patted Tiago’s shoulder.
“You still say that you’re not a wishy-washy woman? Let’s save these words for when you really escape. In addition, why do you say such things at this moment? Why do you give me the feeling that I’m already dead?”
Seeing that Tiago was still frowning and that Okiya and the others had serious expressions, Chu Nan shrugged and could not be bothered to say anything.
In any case, these guys had no choice now. In the end, they still had to listen to his arrangements. It was useless to say anything else.
As for the danger he was worried about…
“Heh, don’t worry, I definitely won’t die.”
Chu Nan shook Tiago’s outstretched hand and glanced at the personal terminal in his hand before slapping his hands.
“Alright, there’s no time to be pretentious. Everyone, get ready. When the spaceship arrives at the synchronous orbit, it’ll be time for us to start moving.”
Everyone’s expressions instantly became serious.
It was all thanks to Chu Nan that they had such a chance to escape their predicament. If they wasted it, they could not guarantee their fate.
