Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Inside the passage, the air seemed to be sucked dry by the force of their punches and palm strikes.

Each collision produced a dull, thunderous boom that made people's eardrums ache.

Jiang Nian pushed his movement technique to its limit, leaving afterimages in the narrow space, narrowly avoiding the silent yet deadly palm strike from the man in black.

The opponent's moves were unpredictable and cunning, with ruthless angles.

Each time, it pointed directly to the key points of his internal energy circulation and the location of his old injuries, as if he knew him inside and out!

"boom!"

Another hard impact sent Jiang Nian reeling, his blood churning and his arms going numb.

The black-clad man's chilling internal energy, like a persistent, invasive infection, kept trying to invade his meridians.

If it weren't for his profound foundation and pure inner strength, he would have been defeated long ago.

“I have already seen through your methods.”

The man in black spoke coldly, with a hint of cat-and-mouse mockery, "Resisting will only increase your suffering."

He crossed his palms, and the force of his palm strikes suddenly became unpredictable.

It enveloped Jiang Nian's major acupoints like a ghost!
Jiang Nian's pupils contracted sharply, realizing he could no longer hold back.

He took a deep breath, and the surging internal energy within his body instantly contracted and condensed!

A far more concentrated aura than before suddenly erupted!

"boom!"

He stopped dodging and his right fist, like a cannonball, went straight for his center!
Wherever the fist passed, the air made a sharp tearing sound!

"Hmm?" The man in black let out a soft exclamation for the first time, seemingly not expecting Jiang Nian to be able to unleash such formidable power.

He changed his palm technique, turning a slap into a press.

With five fingers like hooks, it precisely gripped Jiang Nian's wrist, attempting to overcome his strength with skill.

However, Jiang Nian's punch contained all the power he could muster at that moment, so it was not something that could be easily neutralized.
"Crack!"

Fist and palm collided again, but this time the sound was so loud it made your teeth ache with the cracking of bones!

The five fingers of the man in black that were gripping Jiang Nian's wrist were forcefully shaken open, and even felt a slight pain!
He swayed slightly, took a half-step back, and for the first time, a genuine seriousness appeared in his eyes.

Jiang Nian, once in power, was ruthless.

Despite the tearing pain emanating from his meridians, he slashed at the man in black's neck with lightning speed!

The man in black reacted extremely quickly, jerking his head back and simultaneously kicking Jiang Nian's groin silently!

Jiang Nian seemed to have anticipated this.

The slashing motion changes direction midway; press down to block.

At the same time, he used the momentum to do a backflip, creating distance between himself and the man in black.

The two faced off again, their breathing slightly rapid.

Dense and heavy footsteps rapidly approached from both ends of the passage.

Accompanied by the click of weapons being loaded and shouts.

"over there!"

"Surround him!"

The organization's guards have arrived!

A formidable enemy lies ahead, and pursuers are closing in from behind!
Jiang Nian is in a desperate situation!

The man in black looked at Jiang Nian, a cold smile seemingly curving his lips beneath the mask:

"The game is over. Surrendering might save you some suffering."

Jiang Nian's gaze swept across the front and back passages, and then he glanced at the ventilation duct entrance above his head.

The sound of climbing could also be heard from there.

Their escape route was almost completely blocked.

He slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, tinged with the smell of blood, but his eyes grew increasingly calm.

"The end?" Jiang Nian repeated in a low voice, then suddenly laughed.

"It's not over yet."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly reached into his bag, pulled out a ball the size of a fist, and slammed it hard onto the metal floor beneath his feet!
"Be careful! It's a smoke bomb!"

A guard exclaimed in surprise.

"boom!"

The black ball exploded, and smoke instantly filled the air.

Not only did it block the line of sight, but it also severely interfered with infrared and thermal sensing signals!
The entire passage was plunged into complete darkness and chaos!
"Don't panic! Hold your position! He can't escape!"

The man in black's voice remained calm through the smoke, carrying an unquestionable command.

However, at the moment the smoke burst open, Jiang Nian did not attempt to rush towards any of the exits.

Instead, he clung to the ceiling of the passage like a gecko, channeling his inner strength into his limbs, and crawled rapidly forward along the ceiling in a way that almost defied the laws of physics!
The target is clear.

Direction of the docking compartment!
He recalled that the docking compartment had an underwater exit that led directly to the outside of the ship!
"He's up there!"

A guard with keen senses seemed to notice the strange noise above him and raised his gun to fire!

"Da da da!"

The pulse beam tore through the smoke and struck the top of the passage where Jiang Nian had just been, melting several charred craters!

Jiang Nian narrowly avoided the danger, and then moved even faster!

Under the cover of smoke and chaos, it swept past the heads of the guards who were waiting in ambush below in an instant!

"Stop him!"

The man in black's senses were clearly more terrifying; he locked onto Jiang Nian's location almost the instant Jiang Nian moved.

His figure moved like lightning, piercing through the smoke and giving chase!

With a single palm strike, a chilling wind enveloped Jiang Nian's heart!
Jiang Nian felt a gust of wind coming from behind him. Without turning his head, he threw the last few throwing knives in his bag behind him!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The throwing knife made a piercing sound as it whistled through the air!

The man in black snorted coldly and continued his pursuit, accurately deflecting all the flying knives that were shot at him!

But this brief obstruction has bought Jiang Nian a precious moment!
He suddenly lunged forward, his body sliding into the side path.

That's the path leading to the docking module!
"He's going to the docking bay! Stop him!"

The man in black shouted angrily!
At the docking bay door, the two elite guards had already heard the commotion and were on high alert.

Upon seeing a dark figure emerge from the smoke like a ghost, he immediately raised his vortex gun!

"call out--!"

Two twisted, transparent energy vortexes shot out, blocking the passage!

Jiang Nian's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He knew how terrifying this weapon was and that he absolutely could not take it head-on!
In the nick of time, he slammed his feet against the side wall, his body twisting and spinning in mid-air in an almost impossible motion.

They squeezed right through the narrow gap between the two energy vortexes!
The vortex swept past his combat uniform.

The high-frequency oscillating energy instantly tore the specially made material apart, leaving two charred marks, and a burning stinging sensation came from the skin!

"boom!"

Jiang Nian landed, rolled over to dissipate the force, and rushed towards the heavy alloy door of the docking compartment without stopping!

The door is locked; you need authorization to open it!
"You can't escape!"

The figure in black had already chased to the fork in the road. Seeing Jiang Nian blocked outside the door, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he pressed down with a palm strike from a distance!
An invisible yet immense pressure, like a mountain, pressed down on Jiang Nian!
Jiang Nian turned around abruptly, his eyes bloodshot. He knew this was a matter of life and death!
He disregarded his injuries and frantically poured his remaining internal energy into his fists, meeting the palm strike from a distance with both fists!

"Boom!!!"

It was as if a thunderclap had suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
A violent shockwave swept outwards from the two of them, and the walls of the passage emitted a piercing metallic creaking sound.

The two armed guards were thrown back by the shockwave!

Jiang Nian coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the alloy door of the docking compartment! "Crack..."

A clear cracking sound came from his body; it was unclear whether it was from his ribs or arm bones.

The man in black was also shaken by this desperate attack, and his pursuit was interrupted.

Just then, the alloy door was slammed shut by Jiang Nian.

Because the force of his impact triggered the emergency switch, it made a hissing sound as it released pressure and slid open a gap inward!
opportunity!

A ruthless glint flashed in Jiang Nian's eyes.

Completely disregarding the injuries, they used the reaction force from the impact.

He squeezed in the instant the door opened!
"Stop him!"

The man in black roared and shot forward like lightning!
The two guards also realized what was happening and tried to rush over to close the door or shoot.

But it's too late!
Jiang Nian barged into the docking compartment and slapped the internal access control panel with his bare hand!

"boom!"

Sparks flew everywhere, and the controller was instantly destroyed!
The heavy alloy door lost its power, and its sliding speed decreased sharply, but it did not stop completely.

Jiang Nian's gaze quickly swept across the cabin, where he saw Dr. Chen hiding in fear behind a control panel.

The docking platform has lit up more indicator lights, seemingly making final preparations.

Without the slightest hesitation, he headed straight for the deep-sea pressure suits hanging on the side of the docking platform!
We absolutely have to grab one!
Otherwise, even if they jumped into the sea, they would surely die under the pressure of the deep sea!

"presumptuous!"

The man in black had already chased to the door. Seeing Jiang Nian's intention, he flicked a finger out of the air!
A condensed, almost tangible finger gust of wind emitted a piercing shriek, shooting straight at Jiang Hou's heart!
This finger strike was more concentrated and faster than the previous palm strike!

Jiang Nian sensed a deadly danger behind him, but he was only one step away from the deep-sea suit!
He gritted his teeth and neither dodged nor avoided the attack.

He used all his mind and remaining internal energy to accelerate forward, while reaching out to grab the nearest deep-sea suit!

"Pfft!"

The wind accurately struck Jiang Hou's back!
His specially made combat suit was pierced as easily as paper, and a bloody hole instantly appeared on his back, with blood spurting out!

Jiang Nian's body trembled violently, her vision went black, and she almost collapsed.

But with his strong willpower, he held on and finally managed to hook his fingers onto the straps of the deep-sea suit!

"Get down here!"

The man in black had already rushed into the cabin. Seeing that Jiang Nian was still able to move after receiving the middle finger, his eyes blazed with murderous intent.

With another movement, his five fingers, like hooks, grabbed at Jiang Nian's head with an aura that seemed to tear everything apart!

If he grabs firmly, Jiang Nian's head will explode like a watermelon!

At the critical moment!
“Buzz——!!!”

The entire Poseidon suddenly shook violently!
It felt like I was hit hard by something underwater!
The violent shaking made everyone in the cabin lose their balance, and the man in black's determined grab also deviated for a moment!

Taking advantage of the sudden sway, Jiang Nian yanked the deep-sea suit off the hook and pushed off with his feet at the same time.

It crashed head-on into the underwater exit valve on the side of the docking platform, which was used for emergency escape!
"He's trying to escape underwater! Activate the defenses! Don't let him touch the seawater!"

Dr. Chen screamed from behind the control panel.

The man in black steadied himself, his face grim, and lunged again!

But Jiang Nian acted even faster!

He didn't even have time to put on the heavy deep-sea suit; he just hugged it tightly to his chest and then, with his last bit of strength, slammed it hard against the red emergency valve!

"Clang!!"

He forcefully slammed the valve open!

The icy, high-pressure seawater sprayed in like a high-pressure water gun, instantly submerging half of the docking compartment!

"Cough cough!"

Caught off guard, Dr. Chen choked on the seawater and retreated in terror.

The two guards and the other organization members who rushed in were also swept away by the violent current.

The man in black stood rooted to the spot like a rock, and the seawater seemed to be parted by an invisible wall of energy in front of him.

He stared intently at the outlet where seawater kept pouring in, his eyes icy cold.

The moment Jiang Nian broke open the valve, he was swept out of the ship by the huge current and disappeared into the dark depths of the sea.

Only a streak of blood spread rapidly in the seawater.

"Chase him! He's badly injured; he can't have gone far!"

"Activate all underwater units! Find him alive or dead!"

The man in black's icy voice echoed through the chaotic docking bay, carrying an undeniable killing intent.

Pfft!
Unparalleled pressure suddenly pressed in from all directions!

Jiang Nian felt as if she had been thrown into a hydraulic press.

Every bone and every muscle was groaning in pain.

The wound on my back was throbbing with excruciating pain as it was soaked in seawater.

Fresh blood kept gushing out.

He struggled desperately, enduring the pain and suffocation that threatened to make him faint.

He tried to put on the life-saving deep-sea suit he was holding.

In this terrifying sea area with an average depth of over several thousand meters, without professional pressure-resistant equipment, the water pressure alone would be enough to completely crush him within seconds.

Not to mention the organized pursuers.

The seawater filled my mouth and nose, carrying a salty, fishy, ​​and rusty taste.

Consciousness began to blur due to blood loss and lack of oxygen.

"I can't... die here..."

A strong thought sustained him.

He bit his tongue hard, and the intense pain jolted him awake.

The instinct for survival spurred the nearly depleted internal energy within his body to slowly circulate again, barely forming a thin layer of protection on his skin.

They were battling against the terrifying water pressure that could crush a tank into a pancake.

Using both his hands and feet, he finally managed to squeeze one arm into the sleeve of his diving suit amidst the turbulent water.

Then there's another one...

Just then, he keenly sensed that several high-speed objects were breaking through the water flow above and rushing toward his location!

The organization's deep-diving or underwater equipment!
They caught up with them!

We must dive as soon as possible!

The complex terrain of the deep sea was his only way to survive!
He no longer tried to put the deep-sea suit on completely, but only put the main part on and barely zipped up the sealed zipper.

Then, with a sudden kick, he grabbed the heavy equipment and plunged into the deeper abyss!
"Whizzing!"

Several intense pulse beams grazed his body and shot into the darkness below.

It illuminated a small patch of sea for a moment, revealing the pitch-black expanse below, like a monstrous beast that devours men.

Jiang Nian kept changing direction, using the natural ocean currents and suspended matter in the deep sea as cover to avoid attacks from above.

Although the deep-sea suit was not fully put on.

However, it still provided some buoyancy and protection, which greatly increased his descent speed.

The pressure was mounting, and the deep-sea suit began to groan and creak, while the pressure readings on the mask jumped wildly.

His eardrums stung, and black spots began to appear in his vision.

But he dared not stop, for the pursuers behind him were hot on his heels. (End of Chapter)
