With over twenty mechs, each representing the highest level of technology in interstellar space, it's clear that this force called Qi must be extremely wealthy.
However, Li Ze didn't care about the money; what he cared about were these twenty-odd mechs. He had his eye on them.
Having set his sights on them, Li Ze decided to acquire them.
To seize the mechs while they are intact, the only option is to strike unexpectedly before the enemy can react, using your divine sense to kill the people inside the mechs.
Li Ze calculated the distance between himself and them and concluded that it was a bit far. If he wanted to kill them in one blow, he would need to get closer.
However, those people are very wary of me, so I'm afraid they won't get close easily.
But he wasn't in a hurry.
Li Ze continued chatting with the other party, "If you want compensation, fine, but have your leader come out and talk."
"Our boss is busy." The other party refused decisively.
"Then there's nothing more to discuss." Li Ze made a move to leave.
However, as soon as Xuan Ying moved, the enemy's twenty-odd mechs surrounded him again.
Surround but do not attack.
Now, Li Ze was completely certain of his previous guess: the purpose of these people was to stall him.
"You're not leaving today unless you pay up," the other party said menacingly.
"What if I insist on leaving?" Li Ze narrowed his eyes.
"You can't escape," the other party said confidently.
Although their leader only ordered them to hold off Li Ze, they didn't believe that their group of twenty-odd men couldn't defeat one Li Ze.
If Li Ze insists on leaving, then their intervention wouldn't be considered a violation of their boss's order to hold Li Ze off for an hour.
Maybe they can kill Li Ze in less than an hour?
At that time, the boss will not only not blame them, but will probably even reward them.
The group of twenty-odd people exchanged their innermost thoughts and felt more and more that it was worth a try.
They tacitly agreed to point their cannons at Li Ze and quietly distanced themselves.
However, their actions did not escape the notice of Li Ze, who was constantly calculating the distance. Li Ze noticed even the slightest change.
Meanwhile, the other party was still talking to Li Ze, trying to lower Li Ze's guard.
"Since you're so eager to see our boss, why don't you come with us?" the other party said.
Li Ze raised an eyebrow. "Where to?"
"Go to—hell—" the other side said softly, and more than twenty mechs launched an attack at the same time.
Almost simultaneously, Li Ze also moved, unleashing artillery fire in response to the artillery fire. The starry sea was filled with thick smoke and dust, making it impossible to see anything with the naked eye.
"Li Ze?" He Xingjue asked anxiously from the other side.
"Don't worry, I'm not dead." Li Ze said through gritted teeth. Although he was not dead, he was in a very bad mood.
First, hundreds of shells collided, and the energy from the explosion impacted his body. Then, he used his divine sense to attack the S-class sentinels inside the five mechs.
One strike, one kill!
It caused a dull ache in his mind.
However, the other side wasn't much better off; both sides fired their shells almost simultaneously, and the explosion occurred in the middle.
Excluding the five people he killed with his divine sense, there were still eighteen people left on the other side. These eighteen people were hit by the energy wave and were in so much pain that they couldn't speak.
Li Ze didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
He gritted his teeth, pushed Xuan Ying's speed to the maximum, endured the pain in his sea of consciousness, and used his divine sense to kill the remaining sentries one by one.
But soon, the sentry, having recovered, began to contact his other comrades.
"Damn, that hurts like hell. This Li Ze is really something else."
"We knew he was no ordinary man, otherwise the boss wouldn't have specifically emphasized that we should focus on stalling rather than necessarily killing him."
Where is he now?
"Are all the detectors activated?"
"Ah Shu, are you alright? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Hey, Little Twenty is quiet too. Little Twenty, make a sound."
...
There was silence; there was no response.
The remaining people felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the still-lingering smoke.
“Let’s count off,” someone suggested.
"Start with me, one!"
"two!"
"three!"
"Four!"
"Five! Damn it, I saw him! Holy crap! It hurts like hell, it's a psychological attack!"
"Create distance, quick!"
The next second, everyone dispersed.
"Eleven are still short, what a pity." Li Ze sighed. But twelve is not a small number. One should not be too greedy.
It's good that they've created some distance; Li Ze's level 8 artillery fire is now scattered and bombarding the eleven mechs.
At the same time, he began to retreat to collect the twelve mechs.
He chained the twelve mechs together, dragged them aside, and then went to chase after the remaining eleven.
The sea of stars was ablaze with gunfire, and given their proximity to Taotie Star, the garrison from Taotie Star arrived shortly. They immediately recognized Li Ze's shadowy figure and contacted him, "Mr. Li Ze, what happened?"
“He’s one of Qi’s men,” Li Ze said succinctly.
Upon hearing that it was Qi's man, the soldier immediately understood. He thought that it must be because Boss Li Ze had ruined Qi's plans time and time again, and Qi had held a grudge against him, so he sent someone to ambush the boss.
"Are you alright?" the soldier asked worriedly, looking at the obviously damaged mech.
"It's alright," Li Ze replied.
“Leave the rest to us. Why don’t you go back to Taotie Star first?” the warrior asked.
So, Li Ze returned to Taotie Star, bringing with him his newly acquired twelve mechs.
Just as Li Ze emerged from the shadowy realm, Cheng Qiao arrived with his men.
