Chapter 245: Chapter 223: Does He Have Rockets on His Feet?

Back at the safe house, upon receiving news about Alice, Li Chen immediately called Wind Breaker and others.

Among the three envoys, Ning Wangyang came; the remaining two were responsible for continuing the integration of the old departments and thus did not come, Among the Five Commanders, apart from the brothers Matthew and Martin, who were training and integrating their Nether Army troops, the remaining four also came.

All of the Eight War Generals were present; for a moment, the real foundation of the Palace of the Nether King gathered together in the house.

"Alice is imprisoned on an island," Li Chen said indifferently, "the information is very reliable."

"Then let’s go, boss, what are we waiting for?" Zu Gu was almost restless, jumping up and down, with the others also eagerly rubbing their hands.

Li Chen nodded, gave them the address, and then they headed straight for the island.

This time, the island was in fact a small island far from the continent; it took everyone more than three hours by car to get to the seaside, where Army Breaker and others had arranged an airship that was waiting there.

Everyone boarded, the airship started, and headed straight for the island.

Aside from Army Breaker and other elites, there were also over a hundred elite members of the Nether Army; the Nether Army had actually suffered heavy losses, so these men had been drawn from various units, commanded respectively by the Five Commanders. Once the Ghost King was dealt with, the Palace of the Nether King would definitely need to be reorganized.

Mists obscured the ocean ahead. Zu Gu looked forward, pursed his lips, and said, "I wonder if the Ghost King knows about our move."

"You really have a crow’s mouth," William said beside him, "Don’t jinx it, how could the Ghost King possibly know about our move?"

However, once Zu Gu mentioned it, Li Chen frowned, considering the possibility; he was tracking the Ghost King, so how could the Ghost King possibly not monitor him?

Therefore, it was very likely that the Ghost King would intercept him; now being on the ocean, if the enemy sent large vessels like warships, it would be bad news.

They were all on the airship, though it was fast, it lacked any military equipment, whereas a warship with missiles onboard could bombard them from a distance. In that case, they could be annihilated without a fight, being bombarded into the sea where their only fate would be death.

The Nether Princess’s face was cold, "You really guessed it right."

As the Nether Princess spoke, everyone looked forward at the sea, only to see a medium-sized warship approaching their direction. The huge gun ports facing them, even from afar, weighed heavily on everyone’s mind.

"Can’t you keep quiet?" William said helplessly, and Zu Gu sheepishly rubbed his head, "I didn’t know he actually knew about our move."

Ning Wangyang stood on another airship, furrowed his brows, considering the distance, preparing to use Sword Control Technique to approach the warship when it got a bit closer. However, the warship stopped.

Dammit.

Ning Wangyang’s expression darkened; the distance was too far, and the True Qi in his body was insufficient to support such a distance using Sword Control Technique. Furthermore, gliding over the sea surface on a sword, the enemy with modern weapons would make him an easy target.

"What now?" Quentin also had strength but couldn’t make use of it, with others similarly falling into helplessness.

At that moment, the secondary cannons on either side of the warship also started moving, all aimed this way, ready to attack!

"Boom!"

"Boom boom!"

Several times in succession, the weapons on the warship fired directly at Li Chen and his people.

"Scatter!"

Army Breaker and other people shouted, and the Nether Army members piloting the airships quickly steered the steering wheels. The airships that were gathered together immediately dispersed, and the shells falling into the water exploded right beside the airships, splashing water everywhere, the huge force threatening to flip the airships.

Li Chen’s expression also darkened; this warship, merely an old and seemingly decommissioned one, would likely sink with one shot on a regular battlefield, but now, it undeniably served as a massive killing weapon.

"Quick, scatter and prepare to forcefully board the warship!" Chu Pojun commanded loudly, with Nether Wolf and Nether Princess leading their respective airships, spreading out to charge at the warship.

But only halfway there, on the deck of the warship, there suddenly appeared rows of crew members, who, upon seeing the people from the Palace of the Nether King, opened fire wildly!

Moreover, besides the warship’s own weapons, the enemy had specially prepared machine guns, grenade launchers, and rocket launchers, the firepower was exceedingly fierce.

The people from the Palace of the Nether King, lacking suitable weapons and too far away, the airships that tried to approach had no choice but to dodge away.

"Damn it, once I get on board, I’m going to fight back fiercely," a member of the Nether Army said furiously, his upper body already drenched from the splashing water from the shells.

At that moment on the deck, a middle-aged Caucasian man, with a faint smile on his face, dressed in a leather jacket, was watching the scene before him, thoroughly enjoying himself.

This man was also a subordinate of the Ghost King, named Albano.

"So-called King of the Netherworld, that’s all there is to it."

Albano shook his head, looking at the airships fleeing in panic, filled with disdain.

"That’s how you fight the Ghost King?"

"Bring me the gun."

Albano said indifferently, and immediately, someone handed him a sniper rifle. Then Albano raised the rifle and aimed at Li Chen who was standing in the distance.

Li Chen, having spotted Albano from Class A, frowned momentarily.

A smile appeared on Albano’s lips, "King of the Netherworld, you will die under my gun because there is nowhere you can escape!"

"Bang"

He pulled the trigger, and the bullet from the sniper rifle flew straight toward Li Chen.

Li Chen, with a cold expression, jumped directly into the water; after a splash, he had completely disappeared.

Albano was stunned for a moment, then sneered even more, "Even the King of the Netherworld has to dive into the water now? Where is your dignity?"

"Everyone shoot, sink one, reward fifty thousand."

Albano tossed aside the sniper rifle and said indifferently. His subordinates, upon hearing this, were even more invigorated.

It was like a windfall because, with the warship, they had already secured an invincible position.

At the Palace of the Nether King, none of their airships had been hit or flipped yet, but if this continued, total annihilation was only a matter of time.

After diving into the water, Li Chen activated his True Qi and madly swam towards the warship. If he couldn’t break through the range of the warship’s fire suppression, they would all be doomed.

Watching the airships, almost disabled from functioning, Albano shook his head. He planned to go back for a drink and then report his achievements to the Ghost King.

"Call me when you’re done." Albano said indifferently. The situation here no longer required his attention; cleaning up the enemy was just a matter of time.

But just as he was about to leave, someone screamed in panic, "C-chief!"

Albano turned around, frowning, "What’s wrong?"

"Look, look!" The man said in a panic, and others also wore expressions of panic.

Albano, puzzled, looked towards the water ahead. In an instant, he saw Li Chen, who had earlier jumped into the water, swiftly swimming toward the direction of the warship.

No, not swimming, that speed was more like flying, even faster than the airships!

Does this guy have rockets on his feet?

Albano’s expression changed, "This speed is just too freakish!"

"Shoot him!"

Albano’s face changed, and he yelled loudly. Upon hearing the order, his subordinates quickly aimed their firepower at Li Chen. Instantly, the water around Li Chen erupted with splashes, but none hit him.

"Aim with the secondary guns!"

Albano’s voice turned harsh, no longer smooth as before, and he even felt his tie tightening, prompting him to pull at it forcefully.

The warship’s secondary gun was also aimed at Li Chen and then, with a "boom," the cannon fired directly towards where Li Chen was. Li Chen, however, dove right back into the water.

The explosion erupted in flames where the cannon hit. Albano watched the spot intensely, and so did his subordinates and the rest of the people on the airship from the Palace of the Nether King. Soon after, in the forefront, Li Chen surfaced from the water and swiftly swam towards the direction of the warship!

He didn’t die?

Albano, who had somewhat relaxed, became tense again and said furiously, "Shoot him! Aim properly this time!"

His subordinates opened fire once more, but Li Chen was getting closer and closer to the warship, making Albano increasingly nervous.

As the subordinates watched Li Chen approach, they tried to open fire once again, but just saw Li Chen dive down again, disappearing from the surface.

As Li Chen disappeared, everyone felt a sense of crisis, but the water around the warship was calm.

Just as everyone was trying to locate him, a figure leaped from the rear of the warship, breaking through the water surface with a splash, and directly jumped onto the deck.

The subordinates on the deck quickly turned around and opened fire with their guns, but all shots missed. Li Chen, amidst a hail of bullets, created numerous afterimages. Then, one of the figures directly chopped a subordinate away, having already rushed up close!

"Get him!" Albano was now frantic and growing more panicked as he commanded his subordinates to attack Li Chen, but only saw his men continuously being knocked back, some even thrown out of the warship’s range into the sea.

Li Chen clapped with one hand, and with a boom of his left fist, all the subordinates trying to surround him were knocked away.
