Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

In the darkness, three Night Bat attack aircraft hovered in a triangular formation, firmly locking onto Jiang Nian as he soared into the sky!
They are the organization's most advanced technological aircraft, possessing the organization's highest level of technological expertise.

In this situation, Jiang Nian not only did not flee, but dared to take the initiative to fight back.

Several drivers experienced momentary hesitation.

I have absolutely no idea what Jiang Nian is planning to do.

But it's just that tiny gap of a fraction of a second!
Jiang Nian's powerful internal energy circulated in an unprecedented way, his blood and qi resonated throughout his body, and an invisible yet solid aura naturally spread out.

Facing enemies high in the sky, he no longer relied solely on his agility to dodge, but instead channeled his inner strength into his feet and stomped powerfully through the air!

"boom!"

A deafening roar filled the air, and cracks appeared in the concrete floor!

Using the recoil force, his speed increased again, and he rushed straight towards the Nightbat on the left!
Fortunately, they were suppressing the attack from the air, which allowed them to make a perfect contact.

If only they had reached a little higher.

Jiang Nian might not be able to touch it.

"Fire! Shoot him down!"

The pilot of the middle Nightbat roared into the communications channel.

Everyone noticed Jiang Nian's unusual behavior.

At that moment, three intense pulse beams shot out in a crisscross pattern, blocking all of Jiang Nian's angles of movement.

This weapon is extremely fast, far exceeding the speed of conventional ammunition, making it almost impossible to avoid!

Even tanks couldn't withstand its attacks.

However, Jiang Nian seemed to have already predicted their firing trajectory.

Just before the beam hit his body, his body twisted and spun strangely in the air, narrowly passing through the gap in the pulse!

The pulse grazed past his protective aura, causing a violent disturbance, but it failed to break through it!

"How can it be?!"

The drivers gasped.

How did he manage to dodge it?

Is that human being!
With this slight delay, Jiang Nian had already approached the Night Bat on the left!
He clenched his right fist and threw a simple punch.

There was no flashy brilliance.

Only terrifying power compressed to the extreme!
Before the fist even arrived, the condensed pressure of the fist had already caused the air in front of it to emit a shriek of unbearable strain!
"boom!"

A dull, thunderous impact resounded!

The punch landed squarely on the armor below the Nightbat's cockpit!
The special alloy armor, capable of withstanding machine gun fire, instantly caved in and cracked!
Spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly!

The internal circuitry and components emitted blinding sparks, and the entire fuselage let out a groan of unbearable strain as it plummeted toward the dock below!

Solve one problem!
"Boom!"

The falling night bat crashed through the roof of an abandoned warehouse, causing a violent explosion that sent flames soaring into the sky!

The power of one punch is so terrifying!
The remaining two Nightbat pilots were terrified!
This is no longer human!
How could a normal person possibly kill a modified airplane with a single punch!
This is even more terrifying than their special forces!
"Spread out! Maintain distance! Use machine gun fire for saturation!"

The commander shouted at the top of his lungs.

The two Nightbats quickly spread out to the sides, attempting to use their superior maneuverability and firepower to strangle Jiang Nian in a crossfire net.

The pulse cannon under the fuselage switched to a high-speed rotating electromagnetic cannon, unleashing a torrential downpour of specially designed armor-piercing rounds.

Faced with this terrifying firepower that could flatten a small hill, Jiang Nian's eyes turned icy cold.

Instead of charging headlong into the air, he unleashed his full potential, leaving behind trails of afterimages in the air.

His divine sense was like the most sophisticated radar, accurately capturing the trajectory of every bullet.

Dodge, block.

He dodged most of the bullets, and the few he couldn't avoid were precisely cleaved or knocked away!
Moreover, Jiang Nian's movements did not stop; he faced the hail of bullets.

They approached the Night Bat on the right step by step!

As the driver watched Jiang Nian getting closer and closer on the surveillance footage, his mental defenses completely collapsed.

They frantically increased the altitude.

At the same time, unleash maximum machine gun firepower!
The problem is that Jiang Nian has now reached the Grandmaster level.

He's no longer human!
Jiang Nian lightly touched the iron arm of a dismantled crane with his toes below!
"Crack!"

The iron arm that required several people to encircle was bent by his slightest force!
Using this tremendous recoil, he soared into the sky again, even faster than before!
The target was the Nightbat that was climbing!
This time, he pointed his fingers like knives, and his internal energy surged wildly towards his fingertips like a boiling river!
Those fingers instantly turned like red-hot irons, radiating a scorching heat, and the surrounding air seemed to distort slightly!

"die!"

Jiang Nian shouted sharply, his hand slashing through the air, easily piercing the most vulnerable part of the Night Bat's tail—the engine nozzle.

The engine instantly overloaded and exploded!
Violent flames and shockwaves erupted from the tail, instantly engulfing the entire rear fuselage!
The Night Bat, like a torch that had been set ablaze, crashed into the distant sea.

It exploded into a huge fireball on the sea surface!

The only remaining commander's vehicle had completely lost its will to fight.

This person is no longer human!
too frightening.

Even airplanes are no match for Jiang Nian.

The pilot frantically turned the plane around, pushing the power output to the limit, in an attempt to escape this airspace.

Escape that devilish figure!

"Want to leave now? It's too late!"

Jiang Nian snorted coldly.

His face was slightly pale, but his eyes remained as sharp as a hawk's.

He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his surging blood and qi.

With his hands clasped loosely in front of his chest, the remaining internal energy within his body was frantically compressed and condensed!
The air between his palms seemed to be sucked out, emitting a low hum, and a heart-palpitating sense of oppression spread out!
go with!
An invisible yet immense palm force surged forward like a tidal wave!
Wherever it passed, the air was forcibly pushed aside, forming a visible white wave of air that shot through the sky!

The Nightbat pilot saw the invisible palm strike coming towards him and the distorted air passage behind it, and let out a desperate roar!

All in vain!
An explosion far more violent than the one before rang out!

The Nightbat's fuselage was as if it had been slammed into the air by an invisible giant hand, instantly disintegrating.

The night sky finally returned to silence.

Jiang Nian slowly descended from the sky and stood on the wrecked open space of the dock.

The continuous high-intensity bursts of energy are also a considerable burden for him.

But he dared not linger.

While the group was still in the area, he scanned the surroundings and, after confirming there were no new threats, immediately chased after Hai Dongqing and his men in the direction they had retreated.

A few minutes later, he arrived at the designated rendezvous point.

A secluded little rocky bay.

Hai Dongqing and two agents had already started their speedboat and were waiting anxiously.

"Advisor Jiang!"

Seeing Jiang Nian return safely, Hai Dongqing and the other two breathed a long sigh of relief.

They had only caught glimpses of the aerial battle from afar, and their hearts were already pounding with fear.

I simply can't imagine how Jiang Nian did it!
This is too terrible.

No wonder the base specifically invited him over; he truly is worth an entire army!
"Go! Return immediately, the intelligence is crucial!"

Jiang Nian jumped onto the speedboat and said in a deep voice.

The speedboat's engine roared as it cut through the dark sea and sped away from the coastline.

On the boat, Jiang Nian immediately handed the hacking device, which contained 70% of the data, to Hai Dongqing.

"Immediately transmit the data back to base via the highest encryption channel!"

"The key points are Project Tide, Operation Surging Waves, Deep Divers, and the 72-hour operation timeline!"

"understand!"

Hai Dongqing dared not delay and immediately began operating the encrypted communication equipment. Seventy-two hours—their time was running out!

The speedboat sped along in the night.

Several hours later, as dawn broke, they finally met up with a support vessel disguised as a fishing boat.

After a swift transfer, the fishing boat changed direction and headed towards an inland river.

Meanwhile, at the Xuanwu Base command center.

Bai Yongxu and General Zhao stayed up all night, their eyes glued to the big screen.

When the encrypted data packet sent back by the gyrfalcon was received and its contents were initially deciphered, the atmosphere in the entire command center instantly plummeted to freezing point!
"Tsunami... three cities... seventy-two hours..."

General Zhao stared at the shocking words on the screen, his fists clenching so tightly they cracked.

"These lunatics! How dare they?!"

Bai Yongxu's face was ashen, but his eyes remained unusually calm.

"Report this intelligence to the highest levels immediately! Activate the highest level of emergency response!"

"Notify the cities of Haizhou, Linyuan, and Wanghai to immediately begin the secret evacuation of coastal residents. The action must be swift, but absolutely no panic must be caused, lest we alert the enemy!"

"Order all surrounding mobile forces to assemble in the target area! We don't have much time left; we must find and destroy that device before they activate it!"

Orders were issued swiftly.

The entire laboratory sprang into action.

However, everyone knows that finding that specific trench and generator in the vast ocean within 72 hours and successfully destroying it is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack!
Moreover, the organization must have deployed a large number of troops to defend that place!

"Old Bai, how's Jiang Nian doing?"

General Zhao looked at Bai Yongxu.

"It was very taxing, but nothing serious. We are on our way back."

Bai Yongxu looked at the dot on the screen representing Jiang Nian's position and said in a deep voice.

"He is our most crucial trump card in this operation. His strength is essential to its success!"

……

That afternoon, Jiang Nian successfully returned to the Xuanwu base.

"Jiang Nian, the intelligence you brought back saved countless lives!"

Bai Yongxu came up to him, patted his shoulder hard, and spoke with a heavy and grateful tone.

“How bad is it?”

Jiang Nian asked directly.

"Very bad."

General Zhao pointed to the huge nautical chart, "Based on the data you provided and our previous reconnaissance, we have basically pinpointed the area where that device might be deployed. It is located in a deep trench in the high seas, with an average depth of more than five thousand meters."

"Five thousand meters..."

Jiang Nian frowned.

At this depth, even conventional submarines would have difficulty reaching.

Not to mention precision warfare!

"Our latest Jiaolong-class deep-sea submersible can reach it, but the number is limited and its troop transport capacity is insufficient."

Bai Yongxu interjected, "The organization's Deep Ones are clearly designed specifically for this kind of environment."

"Our reconnaissance units have discovered traces of their activities near the trench, and their defenses are very tight."

"The most important thing is time!"

General Zhao pointed to the countdown screen.

"There are less than 65 hours left!"

"Large-scale fleet mobilization takes time, and a forced attack could force them to launch an attack ahead of schedule, or even detonate the device, causing unpredictable consequences."

Silence fell over the command center.

The pressure is huge!

Looking at the nautical chart, Jiang Nian slowly said, "So, the best way is to organize a small elite force to dive into the seabed and carry out targeted elimination?"

"That's right!"

Bai Yongxu nodded, "But this team must have the ability to operate in extremely deep waters."

"It is capable of breaking through the Deep Ones' defenses and destroying that massive device."

“Our existing special forces have almost never received combat training in such extreme environments!”

This is also where they are most desperate right now.

The ocean floor is not their area of ​​expertise.

All eyes were once again focused on Jiang Nian.

He has just demonstrated his terrifying ability to destroy high-tech fighter jets in mid-air.

So, diving to a depth of 5,000 meters is something for him.

Is it possible?

Jiang Nian felt everyone's gaze and slowly exhaled.

"I need the Jiaolong deep-sea submersible to take me down. As for underwater combat..."

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"I can try."

He didn't make his statement definitively, but the confidence in his tone reassured Bai Yongxu and General Zhao.

"Okay! I'll arrange for you to be adapted to the Jiaolong submersible immediately and undergo emergency deep-sea training!"

Bai Yongxu made a decisive decision.

"In addition, we will draw upon all the ancient martial arts masters within the base who have cultivated water-based internal energy or are skilled in breath control to assist you in your operation!"

"The Dark Blade team will also be equipped with the latest underwater combat gear!"

Time passes minute by minute.

The base has entered an unprecedented state of combat readiness.

Jiang Nian raced against time to familiarize himself with the operation of the Jiaolong submersible, while also making the most of his time to recover and adjust his condition.

He tried to adjust the way his internal energy circulated to adapt to the high pressure and environment of the deep sea.

The mastery of one's own power at the Grandmaster level played a crucial role at this moment.

At the same time, intelligence regarding Operation Tide and Zero was also highly valued by the top leadership.

In response to potential coordinated attacks by the organization within the country, a silent purge and precautionary measures are also being secretly implemented.

Lin Wanxing seemed to have sensed something was amiss and became even more discreet, almost disappearing from the crew's sight. Jiang Nian had no time to spare and could only instruct Bai Yongxu to send more people to keep a close watch on her.

Finally, with less than forty hours left in the countdown, everything was ready.

Operation codenamed Dinghai is about to begin!
The Jiaolong submersible silently slid into the dark seawater.

Inside the deep-sea submersible, the space is small but full of technological sense.

Jiang Nian sat next to the main control unit with her eyes closed.

He was wearing a specially made black deep-sea combat suit, and his demeanor was calm and composed.

The members of the Dark Blade team, along with several other carefully selected experts in water-based internal energy, are serving as the team members.

He solemnly inspected his equipment and underwater propulsion system.

Bai Yongxu and General Zhao maintained contact with the deep-sea submersible via encrypted communication in the dock control room.

"Jiang Nian, comrades, the safety of our motherland is entrusted to you!"

Bai Yongxu's voice came through the communicator, heavy yet full of expectation.

"Mission accomplished!" (End of Chapter)
