Chapter 1594 - 1595: The Rescue Begins
The next day, Yuan Tiangang and Lin Chen gathered their forces.
The Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance and Yuan Tiangang's team were all present.
On this side, Huaxia Martial Arts had assembled powerful figures like Zhang Sanfeng and Li Chunfeng, while Yuan Tiangang also brought three powerful individuals, making this lineup include more than half of Earth's powerful figures.
If nothing unexpected happens in this operation, Lin Chen is more than half confident of rescuing his father from Xu Fu's hands.
However, since the action is set, there can be no delays. They need to launch a surprise attack on Xu Fu and snatch the father away.
If the opponent becomes aware and prepares, it will be difficult to transfer the father.
The group boarded a plane and directly got onto a submarine.
Lin Chen looked at the distant sea, with a cold glint in his eyes.
Father, your son finally has news of you. To rescue you, I've been continuously improving my strength. Today, finally, is the day to bring you back.
The submarine descended into the depths, heading towards Bermuda.
Lin Chen and the others quietly entered the sea.
Since Bermuda is an American sea region, they submerged into the ocean while still in international waters.
In the darkness, several figures moved like phantoms, swimming quickly towards Bermuda.
The speed of the group was incredibly fast, almost like torpedoes.
Bermuda is known for inexplicable phenomena that defy current scientific methods, or normal logical thinking and reasoning.
Nowadays, it has even become synonymous with mysterious, unexplainable disappearances.
Lin Chen now understood that Bermuda's mystery stems from Xu Fu.
Bermuda, known as the ship graveyard, has claimed countless vessels over the centuries.
Lin Chen and his team, after a few days of almost non-stop journeying, reached the Bermuda sea area at midnight.
"We're close!"
Lin Chen peered through the pitch-black sea surface, discovering a powerful energy emanating from the surroundings.
"Everyone be careful, we're very close to Bermuda now." Lin Chen halted and spoke to those following him.
The group exhaled deeply. Over the past few days, they hadn't stopped at all under the sea, consuming a lot of spiritual energy.
Especially the few at the peak of the Demigod Realm, who were nearly exhausted.
Lin Chen took out some pills from his pocket and distributed them.
The martial artists accepted the pills and put them in their mouths, instantly feeling a wave of comfort spreading through their bodies.
Even the fatigue from days of traveling disappeared without a trace.
"Lin Chen, what kind of pill is this? It's incredible," Zhang Sanfeng commented, somewhat astonished.
Lin Chen gave a faint smile, "Once this is successful, I'll give each of you a bag."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, everyone was delighted. This was a precious item indeed.
If two people were fighting, both exhausted, and one took a pill and recovered while the other was still draining energy, what would the result be?
One could say, Lin Chen's pills are invaluable treasures.
"Have you found the entrance?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.
"Not yet, but it should be within those hidden reefs," Lin Chen responded gravely.
"Then what? Should we charge through?" Li Chunfeng inquired.
"No, there are many sharks swimming nearby. I'm certain Xu Fu placed them intentionally. Additionally, there are noticeable spiritual energy fluctuations, suggesting a formation nearby. If we rashly charge in, we could easily be discovered," Lin Chen analyzed.
Now that Lin Chen was the strongest among them, and his spiritual power was astonishing, no one doubted his analysis.
"We can dive into that trench, approach the hidden fortress, and then find an opportunity to break through," Lin Chen suggested.
"Alright, let's take that route," Zhang Sanfeng agreed with a nod.
After resting for over an hour, everyone regrouped.
The gravity of the situation was evident in everyone's eyes.
After all, Xu Fu was a superpower, with subordinates each stronger than the last. Although Lin Chen had already killed a few, the remaining ones were undoubtedly even more formidable.
Without mention of others, just A Shi alone was someone Lin Chen had never fully understood.
Hopefully, they wouldn't encounter A Shi this time.
Lin Chen took a deep breath, knowing A Shi was the last opponent he wanted to face.
After all, they had strong feelings for each other, and A Shi had saved him multiple times.
This battle allowed no room for failure. If they failed, there might not be a second chance, so success was imperative.
Lin Chen took a deep breath and said to the group: "Let's go."
In the trench, it was bottomless.
In such an environment, even searchlights could only reach less than a meter.
So the group had to rely on their perception to proceed.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
The only sound was the slight splashing of water as the group moved.
Several figures cautiously advanced along the trench towards the hidden reef.
However, as they neared the reef, problems soon followed.
The entire sea surface near the reef was pitch black, and rocks were scattered everywhere, making it hard to find a path forward.
Finally, Lin Chen understood why there were no defenses within the trench— there was simply no road to defend.
As they cautiously explored their way forward inside the trench, despite being only a few hundred meters, progress was slow.
Especially in the darkness, the unknown stirred an incredible tension among them.
Damn, this speed won't do.
Lin Chen couldn't help but furrow his brow.
They were already very close to the reef, thus extremely vulnerable to discovery.
Then, things took a turn for the worse.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Not far away, the sound of water splashing suddenly emerged.
Lin Chen and the others were startled and looked towards the depths of the sea.
When Lin Chen used his piercing vision to glance ahead,
he saw a dense swarm of fish facing them.
What shocked Lin Chen most was that although these fish weren't large, they weren't ordinary but rather the legendary killer fish.
"Everyone be careful, killer fish," Lin Chen quickly warned.
"Killer fish?" Everyone was shocked upon hearing Lin Chen's words.
Killer fish are freshwater creatures and shouldn't be in the sea at all.
But now, this impossibility had turned into reality.
A single killer fish isn't terrifying, but a swarm of them is as dreadful as termites.
Once surrounded by these killer fish, one could turn into a skeleton in moments.
Moreover, these killer fish will go berserk tearing into any meat, encountering them in water is a certain death scenario.
Lin Chen never dreamed he would encounter such a terrifying school of fish in the Deep Sea Trench.
Now Lin Chen understood that this Deep Sea Trench was essentially a trap.
"Retreat, don't engage these killer fish," Zhang Sanfeng instructed through the communicator.
"You go ahead, just give me a moment," Lin Chen's voice came through.
To everyone's disbelief, Lin Chen charged swiftly toward the killer fish swarm.
"Lin Chen!" Everyone was stunned by this sight.
