Chapter 1274 Black Manta Arrives

'I can't hold on much longer.'

Hai Shaoxia didn't dare to exchange glances with Yang Le, but the current situation was that he couldn't withstand the attack of so many people on his own.

The reason he was able to persist for so long was because the environmental factors were too favorable to him, and Robin and the others did not initially intend to fight him; otherwise, he might have been captured by them as soon as they met.

However, the situation is different now. After the battle just now, even if Robin and the others have good tempers, they have probably lost their temper.

This is just halftime. When the battle resumes, these guys will probably get serious.

Hai Shaoxia felt he might be unable to resist using the props Yang Le had given him, even though he really didn't want to use them at all.

Just as Hai Shaoxia was struggling with his thoughts, a sudden, violent tremor accompanied by a loud bang disrupted the balance of everyone present.

"boom!"

The rocks shattered, and a cloud of smoke instantly enveloped the entire cave. Fearing that Hai Shaoxia might take advantage of the chaos to escape, Super Boy blew a breath, sending all the sand and dust in the cave to the other side.

After the sandstorm subsided, the good news was that Hai Shaoxia hadn't taken advantage of the chaos to escape, but the bad news was that there were a few more people in the cave, and none of them were the people the Young Justice League wanted to see.

“Black Manta, King Shark, Marauders.” Robin’s face was grim. These were all supervillains he could name, and there were also quite a few of Black Manta’s crew members.

Behind these people was a huge hole, and looking out through the hole, you could see the hull of a huge submarine, which was obviously what they had come in.

How did you find this place?

However, Black Manta ignored Robin and instead walked towards Aquaman, who was standing to the side, as if no one else was there.

Black Manta opened his mask, revealing his face. As he sized up Sea Warrior, the latter was also sizing him up.

To Hai Shaoxia's surprise, the other person's features did indeed bear some resemblance to his own, and at that moment, his feelings were extremely complicated.

Black Manta, on the other side, had similar thoughts. His spy in Atlantis sent him back extremely important intelligence: Aquaman's assistant, Sea Rider, was very likely his son.

Black Manta scoffed at the news when he first saw it, until he remembered that he did have a romantic entanglement with an Atlantean many years ago.

Now Black Manta could no longer treat this news as mere amusement; after thinking about it, a thought took over his mind.

What if it's true?

Just then, he received news that Hai Shaoxia had defected from Atlantis, and his informant had also found the general location of the other party.

With the mindset of "it might happen, but I'll take it anyway," Black Manta, who also values ​​family ties, decided to take a risk.

If the other party really is his son, then everything will be fine; if not, then it will weaken the Justice League's power.

Then, after meeting Aquaman, another thought popped into Black Manta's mind: this boy might really be his son.

"Come with me," Black Manta said in a commanding tone.

Hai Shaoxia breathed a sigh of relief; the big fish had finally taken the bait. However, his heart immediately jumped again. Could Robin and the others really handle so many people?
All he can do now is trust Yang Le.

"Damn it!" Superboy spun his watch, boosting his Kryptonian abilities, preparing for a desperate fight.

However, this was not what Yang Le wanted to see. He reached out to stop everyone and snatched command from Robin's hands. "The situation is very unfavorable for us now. The Young Justice League should retreat when the opportunity arises."

"But Young Master Hai..."

"If we hesitate any longer, we might lose more than just Hai Shaoxia!" Yang Le interrupted the Martian girl.

"Did I give you permission to leave?" Black Manta turned around, putting on his helmet as he did so, his goggles gleaming crimson.

"Perfect, leaving you all here will save you from causing me trouble later."

You really are the type to refuse a polite toast only to suffer the consequences.

Yang Le chuckled in exasperation. The only person present who posed a real challenge to him was Shark King Nanawi, a demigod; the others were nothing more than chickens and dogs.

Black Manta doesn't care about martial ethics; once he has an idea, he'll immediately make it a reality.

Sure enough, the next second two crimson rays shot out from Black Manta's goggles, heading straight towards Yang Le and the others.

Superboy once again steps forward, and after deliberately improving his physical abilities, his fighting style is increasingly resembling that of a superhuman.

To reiterate, you can't say that Superman doesn't dodge attacks. With his physical strength, no one would bother dodging attacks; they'd rather take the hits and land a few more.

You can't call it a bad habit, but it has indeed brought about many bad results, like this time.

Superboy misjudged the power of Black Manta Ray's beam. Although he blocked the attack, he was still pushed away by the enormous force.

Black Manta Ray's beam acted like a starting pistol, and all the remaining enemies began to move.

Like a wild dog, Shark King stomped its legs and pounced on the remaining group. Blazing flames spewed from the back of the raider as it advanced towards them like a chariot.

The rest of the crew had their guns set up and were waiting for the right moment to fire.

Seeing this, Yang Le wrapped Robin and Lightning Boy with water bubbles again, and then removed the large water bubbles that were blocking the seawater.

The seawater instantly went out of control, surging in from all directions.

There's nothing to worry about on Yang Le's side, but Black Manta's side, apart from King Shark and the Raiders, has been affected to varying degrees.

Although the black manta rays were wearing advanced diving suits, they were just ordinary people and could hardly withstand the surging currents. Even with the help of underwater backpacks, they were still tossed about and turned.

"Now's the time to leave! I'll cover your retreat; don't worry about me."

Yang Le gave orders to Robin and the others via the Mind Channel, then handed the bubble to the Martian Girl, while he stayed behind to cover the rear.

Water King had the ability to control water flow. He manipulated the water flow to quickly send Robin and the others out of the cave. After doing this, Shark King had already swum close to them.

As a demigod, Nanawi possesses almost superhuman physical abilities, and his physical abilities are greatly enhanced in water, just like those of the Atlanteans.

Even Superman would find fighting Shark King underwater difficult, and Water King just happens to be an alien hero who isn't good at head-on combat.

Left with no other choice, Yang Le had to temporarily avoid the attack. He sprayed water from the holes in his body to act as a jet, instantly raising his body several meters higher and dodging the shark king's bite.
