Chapter 659 A Clever Plan
The impact created a nearly one-meter deep crater in the ground, raising clouds of dust and scattering rocks.
The red-cloaked envoy stood at the bottom of the crater, unharmed, and ascended calmly without showing any agitation.
Chi Long and Lucifer, however, weren\'t as strong.
After being sent flying by Wang Chao, they tumbled through the air and tried to disperse the force. But it was futile.
Wang Chao\'s strike had been too powerful, and they couldn\'t dissipate the force, resulting in them crashing into the ground. They rolled over ten times, covered in dirt and sporting cuts and bruises.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
They struggled to their feet, coughing heavily and occasionally spitting out blood. At this moment, they felt like they\'d been disassembled; their bodies were aching, and they had no idea how many bones were broken.
"Damn, who is this Wang Chao?"
"His strength is incredible, surpassing all our expectations."
"This is infuriating. How can someone so young be this powerful?"
They exchanged glances, seeing each other\'s astonishment in their eyes. These were people accustomed to the life and death struggles; they had seen many Great King-level experts. But someone like Wang Chao, they had never witnessed before.
"Lord Envoy, what should we do now?" Chi Long clenched his teeth, enduring the severe pain in his body as he got up and looked at the red-cloaked envoy.
The red-cloaked envoy had summoned them here, serving as their leader and pillar. Today\'s battle with Wang Chao was a battle to the death, and they needed to hear the red-cloaked envoy\'s plans, regardless of whether it was a battle to the death or something else.
The red-cloaked envoy gazed towards the direction of Shen Feng\'s hospital room with a sinister expression. After a moment of silence, he said, "Judging by the current situation, we won\'t be able to obtain that thing today. Retreat!"
Wang Chao\'s strength was formidable and unfathomable. If they continued to fight, it wouldn\'t be easy to subdue him. They might even die here. To ensure their safety, they had to retreat and save their strength for another encounter with Wang Chao.
Moreover, both he and Wang Chao had emerged from the same place. He needed to learn more about Wang Chao\'s background. After all, those from that place weren\'t ordinary people.
With that said, he swung his fiery-red robe.
Instantly, a cloud of red smoke materialized around him, concealing his body.
A gentle breeze swept by, dissipating the smoke.
The mysterious envoy had vanished without a trace.
"Deliver the orders, retreat!"
Chi Long, Lucifer, Smith, and Yama immediately understood the situation after seeing the mysterious red-cloaked figure disappear. They too quickly retreated and vanished without a trace.
Their subordinates, who had been hiding in the shadows with the intent to act alongside their leaders against Wang Chao, saw their leaders disappear and were equally terrified. They scattered and disappeared.
In no time, aside from the mercenaries who had been acupunctured, all the hostile experts targeting Wang Chao had vanished from the scene.
As Wang Chao walked out of the room, many parts of the villa had been emptied of people.
Wang Chao activated his "Divine Sight" skill and scanned his surroundings. Many people were fleeing, causing him to slightly furrow his brow.
The red-cloaked envoy had disappeared, and Chi Long and his group had fled swiftly.
With Wang Chao\'s speed, he could easily catch up to them. However, there was no need to chase them. Wang Chao understood the saying "do not chase a desperate enemy." If he pursued these Great King-level experts, they might resort to anything.
Furthermore, chasing them might just be playing into the red-cloaked envoy\'s strategy of luring the tiger from its mountain.
"It\'s good that you all ran quickly."
Wang Chao shook his head as he surveyed the area.
He had just decided to give it his all and confront the red-cloaked envoy, ending the threat once and for all. However, the envoy and his followers had fled so rapidly, disappearing in mere seconds.
He returned to the corridor, sweeping his hand to collect the silver needles that had pierced the acupoints of those warriors. He reprimanded them, "Your leader has escaped. Get lost!"
The warriors exchanged glances but ultimately didn\'t dare to oppose Wang Chao. They quickly left.
Athri, wiping a trace of blood from his mouth, approached from a distance, looking at Wang Chao with a complex expression. "Brother Wang, that envoy is very mysterious, his methods are bizarre. Be careful."
He had originally believed Wang Chao\'s strength was only a level higher than his, but after witnessing Wang Chao\'s formidable power, he couldn\'t help but feel a sense of trepidation.
It seemed Wang Chao\'s level was at least two grades higher than his own, shrouded in mystery.
Wang Chao regarded him with a complicated look and said, "If you continue to stay with the Crimson Flame Legion, your fate will not be good."
The Crimson Flame Legion was not a good place, and its leader was unpredictable and irritable.
Now, Chi Long had become an underling of the mysterious red-cloaked envoy. Athri, a young man loyal and honorable like him, didn\'t belong in such a place and under such a leader.
"I know," Athri nodded.
Wang Chao stared at Athri\'s face for a minute.
"Brother Wang, why are you looking at me like that?"
Athri felt a bit embarrassed under Wang Chao\'s intense gaze and quickly changed the subject. "If there\'s nothing else, I\'ll be on my way."
"Wait a moment."
Wang Chao grabbed Athri and spoke in a low voice. "Stay here and wait for me."
He returned to his room, took a piece of paper and a pen, wrote a line of English letters, then came out and folded the paper neatly, handing it to Athri with a serious expression. "This is a piece of advice for you; make sure to keep it safe and well concealed."
"What is it?" Athri took the paper and was very curious, wanting to open it immediately.
Wang Chao stopped him, saying, "This is my advice to you. Get a waterproof bag to store it. Only open it when your life is in grave danger; it could save your life!"
