Chapter 1411: She Can’t Lick Him, So She Decided to Hide

Si Kongchen was so fast that Lin Qiao couldn’t even see his movements clearly. Just now, it was her instinct that told her to dodge. Thankfully, she could still sense his scent, or she wouldn’t know how to locate him, because she could no longer detect his vibe.

She confirmed that Si Kongchen was already at level-nine and realized that her mission would end up as a failure. She couldn’t defeat him, not even if she exposed her zombie nature and fought him with all her power. Anyhow, it was not yet time for her to disclose her zombie nature. To avoid that, she could only bring half of her power into play.

Knowing that she couldn’t possibly win, Lin Qiao didn’t waste any time talking to him. She dodged his attack and then entered her space. Inside her house in the space, she sat down on the couch with her brows furrowed.

She hadn’t expected that instead of killing Si Kongchen, she would break his disguise and find out that he was already at level-nine. She wondered if he had broken into that level naturally or used some kind of drug. Anyhow, neither she nor Wu Chengyue had the power to kill Si Kongchen at the moment.

Also, Si Kongchen had exhibited his level-nine power in front of so many people. Clearly, he didn’t intend to keep hiding it. Lin Qiao believed that others would hear about it soon. She didn’t even need to bother to send the message back home.

Sitting on the couch, she folded her arms, thinking about how to deal with him.

Si Kongchen had been acting very aggressively recently. Lin Qiao now figured out why. However, after learning about the truth, she didn’t know what to do.

Si Kongchen didn’t seem to take her seriously, and he was strong enough to not care about the others either. Lin Qiao wondered why he bothered to make so many complicated plans before. As a level-nine being, he could have done whatever he wanted.

Lin Qiao had destroyed his secret research base, stolen and ruined his plan, and blown up his arsenals. He probably hated her guts by now. In such a scenario, she found him rather tolerant actually. She had done so many bad things to him, but he hadn’t been reacting much.

So, Lin Qiao guessed that he would try to destroy her base personally to vent his anger and hatred.

Lu Tianyi came in to find Lin Qiao sitting on the couch motionlessly with a deep frown, thinking about something. “What happened?” The look on Lin Qiao’s face told him that something bad had happened.

“I just blew up a few arsenals of Huaxia Base,” Lin Qiao glanced at him and said.

“What? Really?” Lu Tianyi looked at her as he paused briefly with surprise and then said.

Lin Qiao nodded in response.

“How come you don’t look happy?” Lu Tianyi asked with surprise. Blowing up a few arsenals of the enemy should be a happy thing. Si Kongchen was probably infuriated again.

“Another thing… Si Kongchen has just shown his level-nine power. I can’t defeat him, not even if I fought him with all my power,” said Lin Qiao to him with a bitter face.

“How is that possible?” Lu Tianyi changed countenance, looking at her with shock.

Lin Qiao hadn’t been expecting that Si Kongchen was already at level-nine when she decided to piss him off. Now, the man was infuriated, and she would be facing his vengeance. She had no idea what to do.

Maybe her decision to provoke Si Kongchen wasn’t a good one, but even if she didn’t do that, he would soon attack Sea City Base. Things would be even worse if she and the people from Sea City Base didn’t know about his real power until then.

It was a good thing that she knew about Si Kongchen’s real power. However, she had irritated that man, and that was a huge problem!

“No wonder he’s been so confident the whole time, thinking about controlling the other bases. It turns out that he is the strongest one indeed,” Lu Tianyi wore a bitter look as well. His facial expression was exactly the same as Lin Qiao’s. They were both thinking with their brows knitted.

“That’s not the only reason,” Lin Qiao nodded and said, “A part of his confidence is from his advanced weapons and medicine. He thinks we can’t resist those either.”

Lu Tianyi thought for a moment and asked, “Why are you here now? Are you hiding from him?”

Lin Qiao shrugged and said, “Yeah, I couldn’t win. What else could I do but run? He’s at level-nine now. Both his speed and power have risen dramatically, and he’s much stronger than I am. I can even barely run away from him, so I’m hiding here. Thankfully, he can’t detect me while I’m in here.”

“I wonder what you’d do if you didn’t have this space,” said Lu Tianyi.

Lin Qiao stayed silent. She had, indeed, made a mistake.

On the outside, Si Kongchen floated in the air, looking around to search for Lin Qiao. As not even a trace of hers was found, he suddenly wielded an arm with an angry look and released an immense stream of purple fire.

He sent the fire into the sky. Clearly, he hadn’t forgotten that he was still in his base. He couldn’t find Lin Qiao, so he released his power toward the sky to channel his anger.

He had foreseen that the woman would hide into her space, but he still felt annoyed when it really happened.

Si Kongchen cleaned out the dark fire in the sky and then landed back on the ground. At that time, Wei Haichao looked at him with surprise, saying, “Have you broken into level-nine? When did that happen?”

Si Kongchen still looked angry. On hearing Wei Haichao’s question, he responded with a frosty voice, “Do I need to report to you about that?”

Wei Haichao was shocked by Si Kongchen’s vibe. He gave a start and then shook his head, said, “Oh, no, of course not!”

“So cut the crap! Go and clean that woman’s mess!” Si Kongchen glared at him and then disappeared from where he was. He didn’t go far away, though. He left merely to find somewhere to hide.

He was waiting for Lin Qiao to come out of her space. He believed that he would seize her this time, even though she had invisibility. As a level-nine being, he was able to detect any living creature which possessed superpower energies near him, as long as he paid attention to the surrounding area.

Earlier, when Lin Qiao was fighting Si Kongchen, Yun Meng, who had been sent outside Huaxia Base, had sensed the energies of both of them. She got a bad feeling, and because of that, she moved further away from Huaxia Base. She knew that the capable and smart Lin Qiao would be fine, but she was still a little worried.
