Accompanied by a "thud," amidst the fearful and terrified gazes of all the soldiers, Xiao Tian, who had killed countless of them, fell directly from the cliff into the sea.

One of the commanders glanced around at the corpses scattered everywhere, his heart filled with lingering fear. His mouth couldn’t help but twitch slightly.

For those who didn’t know, they would think a military war had just broken out here! Who would have thought this was all done by just one person?

The commander directly took out a communicator and said coldly, "The person has fallen, go and fish him out!"

Meanwhile, the military personnel who had been prepared on the beach below the cliff saw Xiao Tian fall into the sea and immediately put on diving suits, intending to retrieve Xiao Tian’s body.

Just as a group of them was about to dive in for retrieval, an officer next to them intervened, stopping them directly, his expression grave as he looked at the seemingly calm sea ahead.

He had previously witnessed the terror of Xiao Tian, and recklessly going into the sea could lead to irreversible consequences!

"This kid is a bit strange, to be safe, fire a round first!"

"Yes!"

Following the order, countless soldiers raised their machine guns and directly aimed at the sea surface, unleashing a barrage, with bullets piercing into the sea, causing rows of splashes to burst forth.

This intense barrage continued for about ten minutes. Forget a person, even a shrimp in the water would have a hard time dodging this firing.

Shortly after, countless speedboats were deployed, divers went into the sea, and helicopters patrolled the sea surface, a full operation to hunt for Xiao Tian was entirely underway.

This time, Japan mobilized such an array to kill Xiao Tian. It showed they were already deeply resentful of him.

The moment Xiao Tian plunged into the sea, an incredibly cold sensation seeped through his entire body. The waves on the sea intertwined, forming a powerful impact that battered Xiao Tian’s already heavily wounded body.

The blood on Xiao Tian’s body stained the nearby waters red, standing out prominently against the vast blue sea.

Whoosh~ whoosh.

The sound of the sea had long since filled his ears; in Xiao Tian’s eyes, there was only boundlessness and a cold that pierced to the bone.

At this moment, the sea surface was extremely cold, and the heavy feeling underwater was suffocating Xiao Tian. His strength was already at its limit, and now, he could barely even muster the strength to swim.

Xiao Tian struggled a couple of times but to no avail. At this point, he was as weak as a cripple, and the waves seemed to have an unstoppable momentum, sweeping away everything in their path.

Under the relentless beating of the waves, Xiao Tian finally began to slowly sink into the sea, and before he fully sank, he could faintly feel a barrage of bullets coming at him.

Xiao Tian’s entire body submerged into the sea, with shimmering points refracted from the sea surface above. But in his gaze, the ocean floor was an endless darkness.

He knew that even with current human technology, reaching the deepest ocean floor was still impossible.

That place held the true unknown and terror.

Xiao Tian’s body grew heavier and heavier. He smiled with resignation, and just when he was about to give up, a giant shell appeared before him.

This shell was entwined with sea grass and algae, entirely white, clinging to a massive coral reef. Despite the washing of seawater, this shell remained motionless! It was incredibly firm and magical.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh------

A barrage of bullets pierced through the water. Xiao Tian gritted his teeth; dead or alive, he might as well gamble!

At that moment, Xiao Tian, using his last bit of strength, swam toward the shell. With both hands gripping a rock, he drew out a dagger and stabbed fiercely at the shell’s opening.

Xiao Tian gritted his teeth, his face turning flushed. With almost all his strength, he finally pried open the shell and then directly crawled inside.

The instant Xiao Tian entered, he closed his eyes to concentrate, silently reciting the Iron Chain Cross River Heart Method mantra in his heart, trying to put himself into a "slow" state to reduce oxygen consumption.

The moment Xiao Tian entered the shell, something bizarre happened. The bullets that drilled into the water left trails of bubbles behind.

The countless bullets that struck the shell were actually deflected off!

The "sea, land, and air" tri-service search continued for two hours. A large number of Japanese troops had already returned to the base, and doctors who rushed in from various hospitals in Tokyo began to clear the scene, transporting away the injured and the dead.

It was hard to imagine all this done by one person! Seeing the scene littered with bodies and the shrine directly destroyed left the medical staff shocked and horrified.

On the beach, temporary tents were set up one after another. Several high-ranking military officials sat inside, directing the final search for Xiao Tian.

However, after two hours of searching, they still hadn’t found him.

At this moment, a diver ran into the tent, saluting the district chief Yoshimoto Hiro of the self-defense forces inside, reporting, "Report, sir, our speedboats and submarines haven’t spotted Xiao Tian within a radius of dozens of nautical miles, only some traces of blood in one area, and below that is the deep water zone. The suspect is probably dead and sunk to the bottom!"

Upon hearing this, Yoshimoto Hiro pondered for a moment.

Xiao Tian was already heavily wounded, with little hope of survival, and they had been monitoring him since he fell into the sea. To ensure everything was foolproof, they had directly called in twenty small speedboats and two submarines from the navy this time.

Under such surveillance, Xiao Tian had no chance of escape. Unless he could turn invisible.

If Xiao Tian really could turn invisible, they would’ve been dead long ago, so that was an exaggerated assumption.

Yoshimoto Hiro, then, was filled with joy after such a prolonged battle, finally ridding themselves of the near-monster Xiao Tian!

Yoshimoto Hiro said coldly, "Be cautious, this kid’s spirit may linger, inform those speedboats to keep watch 24/7 for me!"

"Yes!" The diver nodded and immediately left the tent.

Just as the diver left, a courier rushed in. The courier, with a face full of urgency, directly said, "Report, sir, the prime minister has issued a bombing order. Please evacuate as soon as possible!"

"Bomb again?"

Yoshimoto Hiro’s face showed some discomfort as he complained, "Didn’t it just bomb once? Many civilians got killed then; won’t I take the blame this time?"

"Boom!!!!!"

Just as Yoshimoto Hiro spoke, a shell exploded on the surface of the sea. Instantly, a massive torrent of water rose skyward, accompanied by a loud explosion, with countless splashes spreading in all directions.

"Evacuate!!! Evacuate now!!"

Feeling the whole beach tremble slightly, Yoshimoto Hiro did not hesitate and shouted directly.
