The dusty sky obscured the sun, and after some time, the smoke cleared. As they approached, they suddenly discovered Sky Shadow.

Fortunately, Sky Shadow's situation was far better than last time, which was three years ago after the Fate Starburst was unleashed. The aftereffects were not as evident as they were back then, despite the fact that Sky Shadow's aura was still somewhat chaotic.

"Did we get rid of that creature..."

The words were spoken by Zhang Xiaobo. As their eyes exchanged, no one responded, for everyone's heart was filled with unease. The painful failure from three years ago was still vivid in their minds. Back then, they all thought Bizarre had been eliminated. Even the reborn Feng Yi had said he could not sense Bizarre's presence. But just when everyone believed they had succeeded, they were suddenly ambushed by Bizarre. They could never forget this lesson.

Bizarre's growth rate was astonishing, and even more terrifying was its incredible learning ability. No matter what skill you used, it could potentially learn it, including the ability to cloak its aura as Sky Shadow did. That was precisely why they failed to detect Bizarre lurking in hiding.

"Let's search for it and at least determine whether it's dead or alive," suggested Blade Warrior. Although fearful, she seemed to have grown somewhat after the experiences they went through.

"Yes, we can, but I suggest we act together. If we find that thing, we can support each other."

Zhang Xiaobo hadn't finished speaking when Sky Shadow quietly said, "It's not dead yet."

His calm voice was like a bomb, instantly making the others' scalps tingle. Everyone had failed to notice Bizarre, so how did Sky Shadow discover it? Blade Warrior skeptically asked, "Are you sure that thing isn't dead? How did you discover it?"

Sky Shadow replied, "I'm not certain. According to my calculations, the recent attack wasn't sufficient to take it out."

"How could that be?"

"I just discovered it too," Sky Shadow explained. In the instant of unleashing the Fate Starburst, even though Bizarre couldn't avoid the attack, it could use its unique red energy shield to neutralize some energy. Although the extent was not high, compared to three years ago, the damage it suffered was not much more than that time.

In other words, even if Sky Shadow unleashed nearly one hundred million in damage, the shield could neutralize 20-30% of it. The energy that actually struck Bizarre would be reduced from the original amount. Moreover, Sky Shadow's attacks didn't reach a hundred million in energy. Coupled with Bizarre's own growth, he could conclude they hadn't eliminated Bizarre.

For now, the reason Bizarre hasn't shown itself could be due to many possibilities.

Perhaps it was in a stunned phase, or it might be lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike. After all, none of them had forgotten the scene from three years ago. At that time, Bizarre struck from the shadows, injuring Zhang Xiaobo and the young Feng Yi, as well as Blade Warrior and even himself.

Judging from the circumstances then, Sky Shadow should have been able to dodge that surprise attack. Due to the dual depletion of physical and mental energy, only three people managed to evade the attack: Feng Yi, Roland, and Mengdie.

Based on the above deductions, Sky Shadow reached a conclusion: not only had Bizarre not died, but the damage dealt to it might have been negligible. Perhaps in another one or two minutes, or maybe even less time, it might launch a counterattack on them. In this situation, their best option now was to retreat immediately. There's no need to verify whether Bizarre is dead or not, for now is the golden opportunity to leave. Once Bizarre rallies and begins its counterattack, it's unlikely that the fat man could even retrieve the Interference Transmitter in time.

"Activate that, let's leave now."

"But..." Blade Warrior had something to say. She wanted to mention that it was hard to come this way, and the cruiser was parked at a distance. Although the cruiser wasn't expensive, money wasn't something they could just conjure up. Running here for nothing and leaving made her feel somewhat regretful.

"Hesitate, and you're dead here, is that what you want?"

Sky Shadow's cold voice spoke. Regardless, his reminder was already given.

The fat man acted with incredible speed, instantly showcasing his special ability as Red Cloak. A series of swift hand movements resulted in the Interference Transmitter being caught in his hand. He prompted Blade Warrior, "Let's go, don't delay."

"Alright, let's leave now," Blade Warrior responded, instructing Yita to retrieve the Interference Transmitter and the light transmission. Before she could press the button, another long-range attack came shooting towards their position from afar.

"Ah!?" Blade Warrior exclaimed in shock, her mouth wide enough to fit a...

"Ah!?" Zhang Xiaobo exclaimed in shock, his mouth wide enough to fit two...

"Eh?" Iman was surprised, her small cherry mouth forming an O shape.

Everyone was shocked, the twins were shocked, and the whole world was shocked. No one expected Bizarre to launch a deadly sneak attack at this critical moment. Perhaps it was due to its unique existence that it could clearly sense everyone's conversation, and thus launched this attack just as they were about to leave.

It was too sudden for them to dodge.

"Hup!"

Who knew that at this moment, with a bellow, Sky Shadow charged forward, intercepting, his head veins bulging as he raised his hand to resist. Instantly, sounds of thunder reverberated continuously, and as Sky Shadow exerted more strength, the sound gradually faded... He managed to intercept the entire attack with just one hand.
