Li Chen began targeting the ordinary Black Shark Bandits. In less than an hour, two had been slain, and several others suffered grievous wounds under the Puppet Legion's encirclement. The rest scattered in all directions, their will to fight gone.
Yet just as Li Chen resolved to take action himself and catch them all in one net, the Black Shark Flying Boat far out in the outer region cast down divine light like a heavenly pillar. Intense golden radiance gathered into a beam, resembling a passage for ascending to immortality.
"Catch him! Don't let him get away!"
The Shaman Folk warrior Wu Xiong was piloting "Yaksha," leading a group of Wildman Mechas in hot pursuit of a lone Black Shark Bandit. But then the Foundation Establishment martial artist they had chased all over the desert was enveloped in golden light. Gangstone Bullets and Crimson Flame Divine Light shot toward him, only to pass straight through as though striking a phantom.
The man was plainly still standing there, his footprints and shadow clearly visible on the sand, yet he could no longer be touched-as though the ends of the world lay within arm's reach.
About three breaths later, he transformed into a beam of light and shot back to the Flying Boat.
"They can return like that? Before disembarking, they must have designated tokens such as waymarkers, allowing the Flying Boat to pinpoint their locations and recall them!"
"These Cosmic Dao void techniques far surpass mine. They can achieve high-precision void transit for multiple targets!"
Li Chen happened to notice the scene, and a hint of astonishment crossed his face.
"Li Chen, we'll be back!" The Black Shark Flying Boat sent out a spirit wave that spread in every direction, then turned and flew toward the boundless Star Sea.
