Above him was the narrow roof of a mini spaceship. When he looked up, he could only see metal plates.
However, Chu Nan could clearly sense that the spatial energy in a large space above his head was undergoing an extremely crazy change.
This energy change was much more terrifying than the spatial energy change brought about by any opponent Chu Nan had encountered in the past. It was only inferior to the few Star-Grade Martial Artists he had encountered.
Heaven Control expert!
Chu Nan instantly made a judgment and determined the identity of this Heaven Control expert.
Grek!
Apart from this leader of the Sand Eagle, it was impossible for another Heaven Control expert to appear here at this moment and suddenly attack him.
In the next moment, various thoughts flashed through Chu Nan’s mind and he instantly made a decision.
“Dong Fang, escape quickly! Don’t worry about me!”
Chu Nan roared at the puzzled Dong Fang on the virtual screen as he activated the super mini spaceship with all his might. He did not even have the time to choose a direction and instantly increased his speed to the limit before flying towards the vast starry sky.
In the space behind him, Grek’s figure floated above the place where Chu Nan was earlier. He was maintaining his palm posture with a slightly stunned expression.
This kid’s reaction was actually so fast. Just as he planned to attack, he had actually fled in advance.
“You want to run?” Grek looked at the super-miniature spaceship that had already turned into a small dot of light in the distance. His expression sank and his eyes danced with anger, “Kid, you forced me to kill you.”
At this moment, Grek’s heart was burning with endless anger.
Ever since this kid called Chu Nan appeared, Sand Eagle’s plans became extremely unsuccessful.
First, this kid helped the Rand Clan’s Holy Mountain block two consecutive attacks from the Sand Eagle, causing it to suffer heavy losses and not complete the mission.
After that, this kid even used a Star-Grade Martial Artist as his backing to force Grek to change his strategy against the Rand Clansmen and be forced to talk to the other trash he had completely looked down on about their so-called “cooperation”.
However, it was also because of the appearance of this Star-Grade Martial Artist that Grek successfully invited Supremacy Lahir out.
He originally thought that Supremacy Lahir could deal with that Star-Grade Martial Artist from the Earth Federation, but he did not expect that seven days had passed and there was still no news from the two of them. He did not know who would win at all.
Under such unknown circumstances, Grek did not dare to directly kill Angie Prairie and Chu Nan. Moreover, there was no need.
He originally wanted to try his best to recruit Chu Nan and nurture him into his capable assistant even if Supremacy Lahir returned victorious. However, he did not expect that after leaving Chu Nan in the Sand Eagle headquarters for a few days, this kid would heavily injure almost all the high-level martial artists in the Sand Eagle, causing their high-level combat strength to be greatly damaged and their other operations to be unsuccessful.
Today’s operation against the Earth Federation’s caravan involved a huge plan. In Grek’s opinion, there should be no mistakes.
However, because of Chu Nan’s appearance, those Earthlings had actually relied on more than ten battleships to repel more than a hundred battleships of the cosmic pirates!
Grek could not understand how Chu Nan did this, but the truth was very clear in front of him, causing him to believe it.
If it was said that Grek still cherished Chu Nan’s talent and really wanted to recruit him, then now that he had received the news that the huge cosmic pirate fleet had actually retreated in defeat because of a single person and had clearly seen Chu Nan on the real-time monitoring video sent back from ahead, there was only intense anger and killing intent left in his heart.
He could not let this kid live.
If he could not kill him now, he would definitely be a huge problem in the future.
With this kid’s shocking talent, he believed that in less than ten years… no, even less than five years, he would have hope of breaking through to the Heaven Control Realm and standing on equal footing with him.
If he was given more time, Grek believed that he could even become a Star-Grade Martial Artist!
At that time, it might be Grek’s death.
“I have to kill him!”
While this thought appeared in Grek’s mind, his figure had already moved and he chased after the mini spaceship Chu Nan was piloting.
Unlike Chu Nan who forcefully tempered his body to the Heaven Control level and obtained the ability to fly in space, Grek was a true Heaven Control expert. Not only had his body reached the strength of the Heaven Control level, but his Internal Breath had also reached this level. Therefore, in terms of flying speed, he was countless times faster than Chu Nan and could even surpass the speed of most cosmic battleships.
Compared to the super mini spaceship that Chu Nan was driving that was reputed to be the fastest in true space, he was not inferior.
When he flew with all his might, he actually closed the distance between the two sides bit by bit.
Chu Nan did not have the time to care how close Grek was chasing after him. He did not even dare to control the mini spaceship to turn because this would only shorten the distance between the two sides.
In terms of flexibility, no matter how much he controlled this super mini spaceship, it was impossible for it to compare to the control of his body by a Heaven Control expert.
He set the super mini spaceship to the highest speed and avoided the orbit of Planet Leppler. He flew in a straight line into the deep space of the universe and looked down at the virtual screen in front of him.
“Don’t worry about me. Dong Fang, you and Angie Prairie should quickly retreat. You’ll be safe after jumping through the stargate.”
On the other side of the virtual screen, Dong Fang gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.
Seeing that they had finally obtained victory and everyone could successfully retreat safely, they did not expect the other party’s Heaven Control expert to suddenly appear.
He wanted to order everyone to support Chu Nan, but he knew very well that their fleet had just experienced a huge battle and did not have much strength left.
Moreover, even if they were in their peak state, they would definitely not be able to do anything to a powerful Heaven Control expert. If they supported him like this, not only would they not be able to save Chu Nan, they might even lose themselves.
“Alright, quickly retreat. You’ll only be a burden to me if you stay here. If you safely retreat, I can still find a way to escape.” Chu Nan deliberately made a relaxed tone and smiled, “So quickly leave and don’t drag me down here.”
Dong Fang was silent for a moment before taking a deep breath. He raised his head and looked into Chu Nan’s eyes.
“I won’t say anything unlucky. We’ll wait for you at the stargate.”
After saying that, Dong Fang took the initiative to turn off the communication and turned to order the worried Mu Li.
“Pass down the order to advance towards the stargate at full speed and jump through it in the shortest time.”
On the other hand, Chu Nan looked at the virtual screen that had turned black and grinned before turning to look behind him.
In the distant sky, although he could not see anything or sense any aura, he knew that Grek must still be following closely.
“Then come, let’s play hide and seek.”
