Chapter 569: Courting Death

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Nan looked at the huge fleet flying past less than 500 meters away and did not know whether to laugh.

After being harassed by him a few times and injuring a few of the other party’s Void Break Martial Artists, the leader of this Sand Eagle Fleet quickly changed his strategy. When he saw him, he no longer immediately chased and intercepted him. Instead, he directly arranged for a Void Break Martial Artist to fly with the fleet in an important location.

This was clearly a desperate defense and completely gave up on the thought of chasing after him.

It had to be said that although this seemed to be very passive and even a little embarrassing, it effectively prevented Chu Nan from continuing to harass him, causing him to fail to break through after trying twice.

Looking at this huge fleet moving quickly at less than a hundred kilometers per hour, Chu Nan did not have the sense of achievement of forcing the other party into a defensive state alone. Instead, he frowned.

Although the other party’s speed was not fast, this place was only 300 kilometers away from the Holy Mountain. At this speed, he would only need four hours to reach.

According to the message that Alpha had just sent through Angie Prairie, the group of Rand Clansmen in the Holy Mountain had yet to discuss a confirmed result.

Most of the elders and priests, including the high priest, were still unwilling to give up on the Holy Mountain and the Holy Land of the Rand Clan that they had protected for thousands of years.

Chu Nan could understand their thoughts, but these guys were unwilling to accept the suggestion of surrendering if they could not hold on. It really made Chu Nan unable to understand and he even felt angry.

Supremacy Oville had clearly promised them that even if they chose to surrender, she would help them recover their losses later, but they were still so stubborn.

It was unknown what those elders and priests were thinking. Did they have to die with the Holy Mountain?

It was one thing for them to be willing to be buried with him, but did they have to capture the other 20,000 Rand Clansmen in the Holy Mountain to be buried with them?

“These old fogeys.” Chu Nan shook his head and opened his personal terminal. He asked Angie Prairie, “Angie Prairie, is there any news of Supremacy Oville? How long until she arrives?”

On the virtual screen, Angie Prairie shook her head. “I contacted her half an hour ago. There’s no communication signal, so she might be performing a spatial jump. However, when I contacted Master previously, she said that she would reach the Sapphire Star Field after another spatial jump. She’ll reach Planet Leppler tonight at the earliest and arrive tomorrow morning at the latest.”

“So, we still have to think of a way to delay this fleet for half a day?” Chu Nan frowned and looked at the huge fleet in the distance before sighing, “Alright, I’ll try again. If there’s really no other way, I can only let them pass.”

“Just try it. Don’t risk your life,” Angie Prairie instructed, “Master is about to arrive. If you lose your life now, it won’t be worth it.”

“Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid.” Chu Nan shook his head, “Since these Rand Clansmen insist on courting death, I can only do my best. It’s impossible for me to lose my life for them.”

“That’s good. Go. I’ll help you monitor them.”

After hanging up, Chu Nan took a deep breath and could not help but smile bitterly.

Thinking back, he had only come to the Holy Mountain with Angie Prairie according to the high priest of Xiu’s tribe. He had come here to seek the chance to undergo the trial and learn the higher-level Song of Life and the elemental power cultivation methods. He did not expect to be involved in such a thing.

In order to help the Rand Clansmen defend the Holy Mountain, he had already risked his life time and time again. However, in exchange, those Rand Clansmen were still stubborn and refused to let go of the tradition. It simply made his efforts completely wasted.

Up until now, other than obtaining the initial Song of Life and the elemental power cultivation methods from the high priest, he had no other benefits.

For now, he could completely ignore this fleet and let them attack the Holy Mountain.

In any case, Supremacy Oville had said that as soon as she came, she could help the Rand Clansmen snatch back what had been snatched. Those two high-level cultivation methods were no exception. At that time, Chu Nan would still have a chance to learn them.

Therefore, even if he did not do anything now, he could still achieve his initial goal.

However…

“I can’t just watch those innocent Rand Clansmen in the Holy Mountain die.”

Chu Nan shook his head and flew to the front of the fleet again.

…

“Lord, that guy is blocking the way.”

Hearing his subordinate’s report, Kansas could not help but frown.

“Damn, is this kid annoying?” He cursed and instructed his subordinate, “Send two… oh, no, send three people out to chase him away. The rest of you, continue to guard it. Don’t let that kid find a gap and rush in.”

“Yes.”

Seeing that his subordinate had given the order, three Void Break Martial Artists flew out from the fleet to welcome him, Kansas was slightly relieved.

However, he immediately felt a strong sense of defeat.

Damn it!

He was a dignified high-level Sand Eagle leader who led such a huge fleet and more than 30 powerful Void Break Martial Artists. Now, he was forced into such a passive defense by a kid who was still wet behind the ears. It was simply shameful if word got out!

However, in Chu Nan’s harassment earlier, if not for his fast reaction, they would have almost lost another war fortress.

Even so, seven small low-altitude shuttles had still been destroyed by Chu Nan. At the same time, he had heavily injured three Void Break Martial Artists. The losses were considerable.

That kid’s speed was really too fast. Once he flew, no one could catch up to him.

Every time he ran after fighting, Kansas could not do anything to him.

Although the small low-altitude shuttle should be able to keep up with his speed if it accelerated at full speed, it was far inferior in terms of flexibility. If he really used the small low-altitude shuttle to pursue, the outcome would definitely be very miserable.

After suffering a few losses, Kansas had no choice but to adopt his current passive defense.

In the end, the goal of this operation was to attack the Holy Mountain. As long as they took it down, nothing else was important.

The goal of this kid’s continuous harassment was clearly to stall for time and give those Rand Clansmen more time to prepare.

Now, he only needed to ignore him. He actually could not do anything.

In the end, he was only a low-level Void Break Martial Artist. Even if his talent was outstanding and his cultivation method was very strange, his strength was limited after all. It was impossible for him to really face them head-on.

Of course, if he was really that stupid, Kansas would welcome him very much.

“Eh?” His subordinate suddenly cried out.

“What?” Kansas thought something had happened again and looked over nervously.

“Lord… Lord…” The subordinate pointed at the monitoring screen in front of him in disbelief, “That guy… actually fought with the three lords!”

“Hmm?”

Kansas’s gaze landed on the real-time monitoring screen on the virtual screen. He was stunned for a moment before laughing.

“Ha, kid, you’re courting death!”
