Chapter 25

Foreign Invasion?

The moment the words left his mouth, the water surface exploded.

It wasn't because of the waves, but because of the high-pressure air surge that burst forth from the water by some enormous object.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three jets of pitch-black water shot into the sky, followed by three black metallic structures resembling giant steel sharks, which, with a piercing sound of water being drained, formed a triangular shape and tightly blocked the exit of the cave.

Miniature armed submarine.

Moreover, it was a fully-covered special operations model, and the pale white skull and crossbones emblem on the hull stood out starkly in the dim underground river.

Blackwater Company.

The infamous international mercenary organizations are also the sharpest black gloves of those Western tycoons.

"Sizzle—"

Three blinding high-lumen searchlight beams, like lightsabers, instantly crossed and locked onto Jiang Han's face.

The bright light was so intense that people couldn't open their eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a strained and awkward Chinese voice, amplified by a loudspeaker, echoed through the empty cavern with an air of superior arrogance:

"Listen up, creatures in front!"

"This is international waters! We are carrying out a special recovery mission on behalf of the International Gene Bank!"

"Stop resisting immediately! Hand over all biological samples and data!"

"Otherwise, we will take coercive measures! I repeat, we will take coercive measures!"

Click click click.

Accompanied by the sound of machinery, the torpedo tube covers on both sides of the three submarines slowly opened, and the dark launch ports were directly aimed at the vital spot of the Nine Netherworld Serpent.

A murderous aura emanated from them.

The live stream chat instantly descended into chaos.

[Holy crap! They really hired mercenaries?! Even Blackwater is involved?!]

This is blatant robbery! They call this international waters, but this is an underground river!

[It's over! It's a miniature torpedo! Even if Jiang Shen is strong, he's still just a mortal!]

[Where's the national team? Where's Bureau 749? Come to the rescue!]

Jiang Han stood atop the dragon's head, squinting slightly to adjust to the blinding light.

There was no panic on his face, not even a furrow of his brow.

in contrast.

His lips were slowly curving upwards, revealing a row of gleaming white teeth.

That smile was neither mocking nor angry.

Rather, it's the kind of excitement a hunter feels when his prey comes to him...

"Coercive measures?"

Jiang Han chuckled softly, his voice not loud, but it carried a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

He raised his left hand, adorned with black and gold demonic claws, to shield his forehead from the irritating glare, then spoke calmly to the drone's camera:

"Guys, looks like someone's trying to steal our loot."

"Alright."

"This will save Bureau 749 some diplomatic expenses."

Done.

He suddenly squatted down and gently patted the cold forehead of the Nine Netherworld Python with his right hand.

The movements were as gentle as caressing a lover's skin.

"Black Fiend".

"Breakfast is here."

"Eat clean, don't embarrass Kunlun Mountain in front of those foreign devils."

boom!

It was as if it understood the word "eat".

The Nine Netherworld Python, which was already somewhat agitated by the bright light and noise, suddenly had its huge vertical pupils turn bloodshot and crimson.

An extremely violent killing intent suddenly erupted from its body.

"hold head high--!!!"

A dragon's roar that shattered eardrums.

next second.

Jiang Han gripped the scales tightly with his black and gold demon claw, leaning forward until he was almost pressed against the dragon's head.

"kill!"

This single word is like a death sentence.

The previously still water surface instantly shattered.

The enormous body of the Nine Netherworld Python actually displayed a terrifying explosive force that defied the laws of physics.

It was like a black lightning bolt, smashing through the air and water in front of it, and rushing towards the submarine in the middle!

fast!

too fast!

The mercenaries inside the submarine didn't even have time to press the launch button.

"Fuck! It's charging! Fire! Fire now!"

"My God! This speed... Ah!!!"

The terrified screams on the communication channel abruptly stopped.

"Boom—"

A sickening metallic clang echoed through the cave.

The Nine Netherworld Python's skull, as hard as iron, struck the submarine's frontal armor without any fancy moves.

That so-called special alloy was as fragile as a sheet of tin foil in the face of the monstrous strength of the prehistoric behemoth.

It deflated instantly!

Followed by.

Click!

The Nine Netherworld Python opened its massive, fang-filled maw and bit down on the submarine's command center.

A terrifying bite force erupted.

The bulletproof glass shattered into powder instantly.

Seawater overflowed.

The screams were drowned out by the gurgling sound of bubbles.

But it's not over yet.

Jiang Han stood atop the dragon's head, his black hair dancing wildly, the golden flames in his eyes burning hotter than the searchlight.

He drew his black gold ancient sword and pointed it into the air at the submarine on his left that was trying to escape.

"noob!"

"That one's yours!"

Whoosh!

The white-scaled corpse dragon, which had been lurking underwater, finally revealed its fangs.

It launched a surprise attack from underwater, its unicorn horn like a sharp scalpel, piercing directly through the bottom of the submarine and tearing the entire chassis apart!

"Sizzle sizzle—"

Sparks from a short circuit flickered in the water.

Two top-of-the-line submarines, costing tens of millions of US dollars, were reduced to two piles of scrap metal in less than ten seconds.

The last submarine panicked.

The driver's mental defenses completely collapsed when he saw the two terrifying, almost black, red signals on the radar.

"Monsters...they're all monsters!"

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

The submarine turned around frantically, its thrusters running at full power, trying to escape this hellish situation.

"Trying to run away?"

Jiang Han snorted coldly, squatted down slightly, and tightened his thigh muscles to the extreme.

"Did you ask me?"

next moment.

He kicked hard on the head of the Nine Netherworld Python.

He was launched out like a cannonball!

He drew a perfect arc in the air and landed precisely on top of the fleeing submarine.

The black and gold claws gripped the submarine's hull tightly.

"Stop right there!"

Jiang Han roared, gripped the black gold ancient sword with both hands, pointed the tip downwards, and thrust it in with all his might!

puff!

The ancient sword, capable of cutting through iron like mud, pierced directly through the submarine's top armor plate and plunged straight into the power core!

boom!

A plume of black smoke billowed from the stern of the submarine, and the propulsion system instantly shut down.

The immense inertia carried the submarine for dozens of meters on the water's surface before it finally came to a helpless halt.

silence.

A deathly silence.

All that remained were the wreckage floating on the water and a trail of crimson blood that was gradually spreading.

Jiang Han drew his ancient sword and shook off the oil stains on the blade.

He stood on the submarine wreckage, with two giant beasts tearing apart their spoils behind him.

He turned around and made a throat-slitting gesture at the camera.

His eyes were indifferent, and his tone was chilling:

"Those who violate the forbidden zones of China, no matter how far away, shall be punished."

"Whether you're human or ghost."

The live stream chat exploded.

[This is amazing! Jiang Shen is incredible!]

[This is what you call diplomatic language! This is physical exorcism!]

[Blackwater: Who am I? Where am I? Where is my submarine?]

[A god of slaughter has descended! Is this really something a human can do?]

however.

Just when everyone thought the crisis was over.

The Nine Netherworld Python (Black Fiend), which was tearing apart the submarine wreckage, suddenly stopped.

It released the scrap metal from its mouth, and its massive head suddenly turned towards the dark waters deep within the cave.

"Waaah—"

A mournful cry, filled with fear and pleading, escaped from the depths of its throat.

Its entire body was trembling with fear.

Even those eyes that had just been filled with murderous intent now revealed a human-like...despair.

It is afraid.

I'm afraid of that bottomless lake.

It was as if something there was awakening.
