Chapter 761 - Divide and Conquer (1/2)

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

“Warning! Hull Breach! Warning! Hull Breach!” cried the system alarm.

“What happened?!” the captain of the American submarine roared.

“I don’t understand. I had made sure that there’s nothing beneath us!”

“Explain the situation!”

“The system is indicating a breach in the hull! There’s nothing on the radar so, we must have hit an underwater skerry!”

“Doesn’t matter. Seal the hull and surface to above sea level!” the captain roared.

Once the submarine had reached the surface, the captain of the submarine quickly ordered a thorough check. After having inspected the hull damage, they found the breach at the belly of the submarine. When Jiang Fei pierced into the submarine, he had only made a small opening. The immense water pressure did the rest. By the time the submarine had resurfaced, the opening had only become worse and deformed, leaving no trace of how it appeared.

“There’s no way we can continue with the mission like this. Call this in! We’re heading back, boys!” cried the captain of the submarine. The American-made submarine was built with two layers of solid titanium alloy with pressurized air in between. The damage dealt by Jiang Fei and the water pressure had only affected the outermost layer. Although the submarine could still work, there was no way they could continue diving into the sea.

When the enemy’s submarine left, Dragon 1 returned to its previous location and resurfaced. While the moon was high and bright, the night was dark enough to allow the black-colored submarine to hide its presence. The cargo hatch opened and many inflatable black boats were released.

“Is everyone here?” Jiang Fei roared.

“Yes!”

“Yes, we are!”

“Yes! All hands accounted for.”

…

Every leader of the group responded immediately.

“Proceed to land!” cried Jiang Fei.

There were more than ten small boats then and all were led by Jiang Fei in the front. Jiang Fei’s boat had a little over fifty fighters. Besides Ariel, the rest were young disciples of various sects. There were those as young as 13 years old and as old as 30 years old. Their fighting strength was as low as Level 3 Beginning stage and as high as Level 4 Intermediate stage.

There were so many of them on the boat that Jiang Fei had students from almost all sects of China besides Soaring Cloud Sect. After having learned their lesson with Shang Guanqi’s case, they did not send their best students just to have them stolen by him.

20 minutes later, all boats arrived on shore and everyone gathered together on the dark cold beach.

“Alright. We shall split up here since some of you would not go with me,” said Jiang Fei to the rest of the martial artists.

“Please understand, Brother Jiang Fei. It’s not that we do not give you face. It’s just that… guns and cannons are just too… barbaric for us to understand. It’s hard for us to cooperate…” said Bai Wanli as he laughed awkwardly. Even though deep down, he genuinely did not want to work with the normal humans, he would not want to wrong Jiang Fei.

“That’s right. Please do not misunderstand us. All we are going to do is defeat those Mutants, am I right? There’s no need for such complications. Just lure them into Japan and they will be as good as ours!” said another sect leader.

“Hm. Here. These are communicators. Please use this to stay connected at all times. You can request for assistance easily with these,” said Jiang Fei as he handed out an earpiece that was made by 0541 using Planet Namek’s technology. There was no need to fear the Americans tapping in.

“With these, there’s no way we would lose!” said Bai Wanli.

“Alright, no time to waste! Let us proceed as planned!” Ma Xuantong roared as he left with his own group of students. While everyone else was centered around Jiang Fei, he was the only sect that was left behind.

“Little Jiang Fei, I wish you the best of luck. Please remember to take care of the two little ones. This grandmother beg of you!” said Grandmother Jinghua as she nodded toward Yang Qing and Yang Po suggestively to Jiang Fei.

“Hoo… We shall take our leave as well. Zongwei, you should learn more from Brother Jiang Fei! Never let yourself shame the Snow Mountain Sect!” said Bai Wanli before leaving with his students.

Jiang Fei sighed as he watched all the sects leave by themselves. For a brief moment there, he pondered on the thought of whether this mission involved the alliance as a whole or individual sects. They were all moving on their own accord and did not show any signs of cooperation.
