When that fugitive appeared within the vision of Bartley, the killing intent from its core seemed extremely overflowing.
“Brothers, let the hunting begin!”
Those that had followed Bartley were all his trusted subordinates that had followed Bartley to raid various place. They knew what Bartley truly enjoyed. Bartley did not like money and would always distribute them to his subordinates after every raid. He was definitely not stingy. The only things he desired were beautiful girls and his unique fetish for killing. With a boss like this, the subordinates would obviously like it.
With money, there would always be all kinds of women. As for killing, not everyone had such a hobby like Bartley.
12 mech warriors immediately dispersed and moved in an arc with good coordination towards Wang Zheng to surround him.
Bartley was at the back. He wanted to witness the looks of the prey struggling. Obviously, the important thing was to see the standards of his prey.
Arbiter’s Conqueror Series was rather demanding. In terms of mainstream mecha used nowadays, there were few that required such level of control and stamina. However, the army of Arbiter were very used to the strength of these demands. Frankly speaking, this was a mech design that was contrary to the mainstream. In the current realm of mecha design, the demands were easy controls, strong functionality and easily marketed. Obviously, the requirements for super mecha were different.
However, the difficulty in operating Arbiter’s Conqueror α was indeed not low. Those who dared to use it were mainly showing off their strength. It was a pity that the head of the pirate section wasn’t able to withstand a few strikes from Wang Zheng.
The pirate guards unsheathed their beam saber one after another. Those who were fond of mecha would be in love with the smooth feeling when the beam saber cut through the mech. Therefore, Bartley would never allow those gang fights that would reckless waste the gift from god. Only when they faced insignificant opponents were they allowed to use volleys of rifle fire.
The 1 at the forefront was the captain of Bartley’s guards, Alma. He was from Arbiter and had committed some crimes but Bartley liked his ruthlessness and loyalty. Alma had the personalities of the people of Arbiter and wasn’t too great in interacting with others. He was not popular in the pirate crew but it couldn’t withstand Bartley’s admiration and hence he was tasked with heavy responsibilities. Alma had the intention to die for his bosom friend. With regard to the Conqueror α , Alma naturally was very familiar with it. In the past, he was using this model of mecha when he was serving in the army of Arbiter.
To be using Conqueror in front of someone from Arbiter was simply seeking his own death!
Alma’s Ability X erupted. He was a muscle-type Ability X user and could maximize the strength of the mech to the fullest. He knew clearly that Bartley liked the sound when he was tearing apart another mech.
The spear of an Overlord was fast and accurate. Wang Zheng’s Conqueror immediately followed forward. He slashed his beam saber down but… this distance was clearly not enough.
Bartley’s gaze turned cold and shouted, “Retreat!”
However, it was too late. A cold light swept past with the beam saber and the rapid and imposing momentum of the Overlord mech stopped. The other pirates responded quickly and immediately stopped.
Bartley’s mech lunged ahead explosively as the snow was scattered everywhere. In the next instance, he had arrived in the middle of the battlefield.
The other pirates had only instinctively followed Bartley’s order but didn’t know what had happened.
Overlord staggered across the front of the Conqueror α but stopped after about 3-4 steps.
The other pirates immediately switched to their section’s channel. In the screen, Alma was as pale as a frozen man. Wang Zheng turned around and knocked his beam saber with the hilt against the Overlord mech. A crack appeared on Alma’s forehead who was in the mech. Following which, he had turned into meaty pieces that were giving off some white smoke.
Bartley’s mouth revealed a bloodthirsty smile. It was ruthless and this strike was arrogant. He liked it.
An “Ice” attribute Ability user. He wasn’t at B rank but seemed to have reached a great realm in it. He was able to make use of the icy world of Aisbotan to demonstrate standards close to Earth Grade.
He could tell that he was young. This kid at the other side should be a student from Elite Academy. He had not expected him to have such a standard.
This would be interesting!
“Brothers, prepare the gun formation!”
Bartley raised his hands. After seeing the strike of the monster at the other side, they immediately took out their laser guns and aimed it at the Conqueror α .
“Kid, you are pretty good. Would you be interested in joining our group? I would make you a commanding officer and guarantee that you would eat well and have the best.”
“Can you make the decision?” asked Wang Zheng blandly.
“Kid, you are facing the commanding officer of the Blood Thirst Column. Did you think that I can make the decision?”
“Hehe, I had thought that it was the head of the DK Pirate Crew. So it was just another follower.” laughed Wang Zheng.
Bartley licked his lips. “Kid, don’t be too arrogant. I can see that you are ruthless and was similar to me when I was younger. I will give you a chance. Joine us. Whatever you want to do, you can just do it. Whichever girl you are fond of, you can just snatch her over. You would be free to do whatever you wanted and not be bounded to anything. The entire universe would be our hunting ground. Why would you want to suffer in that lousy school to be a small soldier in the end? Those with talents should be soaring!”
Bartley liked masters. The kid in front of him was rather powerful. If he could be used by him, he would have a great assistant. There were many strong powers in the pirate crew. The weight of one words would be dependent on the strength he held. As long as the kid agreed, he would have other ways to control him. Teenagers were the easiest to control. No matter if it was women or illusionary drugs, he could give him whatever he wanted.
“How was it? You should give it some thought. The issue with Ice Spear City had been settled and there are only 2 paths in front of you now. Either you can follow us or you can die with them.”
Laser guns and heavy rifles had all accumulated energy and aimed at the Conqueror α . With just an order from Bartley, they would fire on Wang Zheng. There was no way to run.
Seeing the other party had kept quiet, Bartley immediately tried to tempt him rurther.
Wang Zheng smiled. “Did your mum and dad know that you were so despicable?”
Instantly, all the faces of the pirates had changed. “Boss, this guy was just buying some time.”
Without the need for his subordinates to speak, Bartley gritted his teeth and shouted,” Kill!”
Boom…
With a large explosion, snow was scattering around and lasers fired at him. Wang Zheng’s Conqueror α had switched on its energy shield and taken 2 shots head on. He retreated at high speed while dodging to the side that was hidden by the snow that was scattered around.
At this moment, speed was the key to victory!
The Wind attribute ability was used to its maximum capacity and his mech was quicker than his enemies.
Bartley had never suffered such humiliation. Those that didn’t show him face in the underworld were either buried or just that he had not taken actions against. Yet, he was teased by this kid who hadn’t even had all his hair grown out.
The Wargod mech lunged ahead at high speed. His Metal attribute Ability X not only possessed strong and sharp pressuring force but could also affect metal at the same time. Although it wouldn’t be the same as manipulating puppets, once his enemy had entered his ability range, he could disrupt his movements. He could be considered unrivalled against mecha. If he could enter Heaven Grade, controlling his opponent wouldn’t be a difficult thing.
Wang Zheng was escaping at high speed. Facing an Earth Grade standard pirate leader and 11 rather strong pirates, Wang Zheng had no chances of victory. However, he was confident in his speed. These guys weren’t his match yet.
Bartley had also not expected that there would be someone able to operate a mech in the icefield as fast as a rabbit.
“D*mn, is this brat’s ability long distance running?”
“Boss, we can no longer give chase. This kid is clearly trying to waste our time. Should we meet up with our team? We shouldn’t stay in this place for long. ”
They had been chasing for a while but weren’t able to catch up nor hit Wang Zheng. Without any disruption, long range attacks would definitely not be able to hit a master of such standards. This had caused these pirates to feel rather bottled up and angry.
Pirates weren’t afraid of death or ruthlessness. However… they couldn’t compete in endurance. Was this kid doing a marathon in the mech?
Bartley had also calmed down. It was clear that he couldn’t catch up. He slowed down his mech and was prepared to turn around when a laser shot grazed his head and went past him. He broke into a cold sweat from the shock.
The public channel of the Blood Thirst battle group had sounded. “Bartley the old chicken. Cluck cluck cluck. Just die.”
In the world of the pirates, the chicken was the symbol of the weak and were raised for slaughtering. An old chicken…
Bartley’s face had turned black. This was because Wang Zheng was using their mech and was using the Blood Thirst Column’s communication channel. This channel was in every other mech. It was just that ordinary members could only listen and wouldn’t dare to say anything. But…
Undoubtedly, Bartley cared a lot about face. He cared about his fame among the pirates. This d*mned kid…
“Kid, if you have the guts, stop running. I guarantee I wouldn’t kill you!” Bartley piloted his mech and continue chasing. He hated snow and this d*mned place.
Wang Zheng sneered and continued using the public channel. “What did you even learn while growing up? If you had the capabilities, come over without wearing any pants. I guaranteed you have a small chicken. Oh wait, you are an old chicken and probably don’t even have…”
Childish and ludicrous. However, Bartley seemed to be able to see the scene where his others teammates hearing such things in a highly serious environment.
“Fire, hit him hard!” Bartley ordered the others. At the same time, he picked up the pace and continued chasing. Once an Earth Grade Ability user was angered, their speed was truly scary too. As for Wang Zheng, no one knew what was happening. He seemed to be tired and his speed was getting slower and slower. This made Bartley extremely excited. He wanted to see if this kid really had 3 heads and 6 arms. He wanted to execute him on the spot just like those in classical history!
The other pirates also discovered this point. Their endurance couldn’t make it. However when they see that the prey was almost in their hand, they still could erupt forth for a while.
The formation of the pirates was great and finally surrounded Wang Zheng’s Conqueror α . Bartley gritted his teeth. This pursuit had costed him more than an hour unknowingly. Besides that, he had even lost an important member. His rage was over the top.
“Kid, were you wishing for a one-on-one? Let me teach you something today. When you are in the real world, the more people you have the merrier!”
Bartley had once roamed around alone and spent his glorious days depending on his own personal strength. However, he was still beaten like a dog in the end. It was the same as two fists having difficulty going against 4 hands. The hard truth was the more people one had, the better it would be. Therefore, he had joined the pirate crew.
The time when one person was trying to play the hero was over. Strength was only for fighting for authority.
Wang Zheng smiled and said,” That’s what I thought of too.”
At this moment, Conqueror α was emanating circles and circles of cold light rays. It was gloomy blue in colour and looked extremely magical. Although it was an Ice attribute power, it was giving off an extremely warm feeling.
Rumble… Rumbling…
Large explosions erupted from the ground as giant beasts popped out from the snow one after another. Almost instantly, they pounced towards the pirates.
“Sometimes, the greater the number of beasts the better. I wondered who are the real beasts?” said Wang Zheng emotionlessly.
Bartley’s eyes contracted. F*ck. It were the ice beasts. They had encountered such things previously and they were super difficult to deal with. Yet, there were over 20 of them here. This was simply…
