Chapter 280: Chapter 279 Infiltration Operation
"You just had your tendons and bones reconnected. Don’t you need to recuperate?" Ye Fan asked.
Nangong shook his head and replied, "No need. My ridians have been fully restored. This is the perfect opportunity to train myself!"
Ye Fan nodded, consenting to Nangong’s request.
At that mont, Nangong swiftly rose from the luxury cruise ship and leaped toward the pirates. Seeing Nangong charging at him, the Pirate Leader imdiately commanded, "Fire, kill him!"
Instantly, the surrounding pirates opened fire. The bullets were fast, but the mont they neared Nangong, he deflected them, preventing them from getting any closer.
Nangong felt absolutely exhilarated. He could feel his long-lost strength finally returning. With that, he furiously charged forward, leaping among the pirates. A single wave of his hand left a swath of them dead.
The Pirate Leader was shocked by Nangong’s prowess. No wonder the man dared to invade his territory; he actually had the strength to back up his boldness. However, the leader was not afraid. He imdiately charged at Nangong while ordering the pirates in the rear to attack as well.
Ye Fan shouted, "Advance and block them!"
"Yes!" Black Fog led his n into the fight.
"Pirate Leader! Prepare to die!" After dealing with several pirate commanders, Nangong rushed toward the Pirate Leader.
Fuming with rage, the Pirate Leader unleashed his King Level strength against Nangong.
BAM!
The two exchanged a punch. The Pirate Leader was sent flying backward, crashing into the ship and shattering a decorative skull on its hull.
"Too weak!" Nangong said with disdain. In his pri, he had been a dominant Emperor Level expert who road the lands freely. How could a re King Level opponent match him, especially when the Pirate Leader was not even a high-rank King Level? Compared to Nangong, he had no advantage whatsoever.
Although Nangong usually appeared refined, at that mont, he fiercely leaped into battle with the Pirate Leader.
The Pirate Leader took another hit from Nangong and realized he was no match. They were not even in the sa league, so he had no choice but to attempt an escape.
"Where do you think you’re going!" Nangong stomped powerfully on the deck, instantly shattering it as the Pirate Leader fled in panic.
Unfortunately for him, not only was Nangong’s strength formidable, but his speed was also top-notch. In the blink of an eye, he caught up to the Pirate Leader, cornering him.
Then, Nangong declared, "I’ll give you a chance for a fair duel!"
The Pirate Leader wanted to curse up a storm. Was this a fair duel? No, it was anything but.
Nangong charged in, and the Pirate Leader could only defend passively. In the next mont, Nangong grabbed his shoulder and, with a fierce tug, tore his arm clean off.
"AH!" The Pirate Leader scread in agony, staring at Nangong.
"Exhilarating!" Nangong laughed wildly.
"Water Skimming!" Nangong bellowed. He glided forward and, with a swift movent of his hand, decapitated the Pirate Leader.
Seeing their leader’s head severed, the remaining pirates were stunned. One by one, they scrambled to escape, not daring to confront Nangong head-on. With their leader dead, the pirates scattered in a panic, powerless against Nangong’s overwhelming strength.
Nangong fought his way through the chaos with pure exhilaration. Only when he was completely covered in blood did he leap into the sea to wash it all off.
Ye Fan knew the situation was settled; the pirate domain had completely collapsed.
"Boss, the Pirate Leader is dead!" Nangong said, tossing the man’s head onto the deck.
Looking at the severed head, Ye Fan said, "You’ve done a great service by getting rid of this nace. You did very well!"
The people around stared at Nangong in shock, not expecting their boss to have found such an expert on the battered ancient ship. Black Fog, in particular, was stunned. He could have killed the Pirate Leader himself, but it would have cost him half his life. Yet Nangong had done it as effortlessly as Ye Fan would have. Such strength was truly fearso!
The group continued their journey, and two days later, they finally arrived in Japan. The sight of towering skyscrapers made Nangong feel as if he had entered an unfamiliar world. Along the way, Ye Fan had described the prosperity of modern cities and the current state of the world to him. Nangong was astonished to find that the world had changed so much. Everything was unexpected. Perhaps he truly was out of touch with this era. Thankfully, the Martial Artists from the Heavenly King Hall could teach him all about modern urban life, which touched Nangong deeply.
Before long, Ye Fan led the mbers of the Heavenly King Hall to rest in a villa that Miyaji Aoi had already prepared. Inside, everyone gathered to discuss their next move.
Ye Fan spoke first. "The Shadow Stream Master and his Musashi Sect are situated atop Musashi Mountain. Can we acquire a detailed map of the mountain? This is crucial."
At that mont, Miyaji Aoi said, "If I infiltrate the place, I might be able to get it. They still don’t know that I’ve joined the Heavenly King Hall, or even that I’m still alive. If I go back now, they’ll be in for a big surprise! They won’t suspect !"
But Ye Fan said, "It’s too risky. If you’re exposed, you might never get out."
Miyaji Aoi was touched. She hadn’t expected Ye Fan to care so much for the lives of his subordinates. She said with determination, "For the Heavenly King Hall, I am willing to risk my life to retrieve the detailed map!"
This ti, Ye Fan was determined to wipe out the Ninjutsu lineage completely. Otherwise, he could have just gone up and challenged them by himself.
He said, "I appreciate your sentint. Still, proceed with caution. If you can’t get it, then withdraw!" This was Ye Fan’s intention.
However, Nangong spoke up. "Boss, I’ll go with her. They haven’t seen , so they won’t suspect !" he volunteered.
With Nangong going along, Ye Fan felt relieved. Nangong’s strength was formidable; he could guarantee he wouldn’t be defeated even against the Shadow Stream Master. Ye Fan’s only real fear was the Nine-tailed Demon Fox that even the Shadow Stream Master worshipped—was it real or not?
Ye Fan said, "Good, that’s much more reassuring. After all, your strength is not to be underestimated!"
That sa day, Nangong and Miyaji Aoi set out. With him disguised as her subordinate, they entered the defense base at the foot of Musashi Mountain. Outside the base, they were stopped.
Miyaji Aoi said, "I have important matters to report to the higher-ups!"
"Please verify your identity!" a Japanese Martial Artist told her.
Miyaji Aoi stood on the scanner, and her identity was confird.
"Let’s go!" She started to head inside with Nangong, but he was stopped.
The Martial Artist said, "You can go in, but he cannot!"
"He is my subordinate, and this matter is critical. His presence is non-negotiable!" Miyaji Aoi stated firmly.
But the Martial Artist was adamant. After all, he had to obey the orders of the Shadow Stream Master: no one whose identity couldn’t be scanned was allowed to enter.
Therefore, the Japanese Martial Artist said, "When I say no, I an no. Are you trying to defy the orders of the Shadow Stream Master?"
