Seeing that Xiao Tian was not only unharmed but also directly shot down two helicopters, the faces of the high-ranking Japanese military officials and the prime minister changed drastically. Their hearts grew increasingly restless, never expecting that even armed helicopters could do nothing against Xiao Tian!

This Huaxia man named Xiao Tian was nothing short of a massive shock to them, an ongoing wave of turmoil! One problem had barely been solved before another one began!

Yamazaki Ryuzo started trembling all over. If this continues, wouldn’t their entire helicopter unit get wiped out at the hands of Xiao Tian?

After Xiao Tian used such fierce tactics to take down two helicopters, the previously imposing squad of aircraft shrank back immediately, like mice seeing a cat. Hesitating mid-air for less than a second, they decisively retreated to higher altitudes. After all, they didn’t want to end up at the bottom of the sea like the personnel on those two helicopters.

Seeing that the situation had come to a halt, Xiao Tian’s body shook with determination. He knew now was the best time to escape!

Without delay, Xiao Tian began to move swiftly, inclining his body and sprinting rapidly towards the sea. His stamina was rapidly depleting, and if he continued facing the helicopter squad’s bombardment, who knows what mishaps might occur.

"Stop him!!!" The prime minister in front of the big screen stood up abruptly, using all his strength to command loudly, his tone frantic and desperate.

The entire nation aimed to obstruct a single Xiao Tian; if he managed to escape, where would Japan’s face be in the international arena?

Responding to the command, groups of Japanese soldiers and samurai surrounded Xiao Tian to stop him, forming a human wall to trap him within.

"Get out of my way!"

Xiao Tian roared furiously, mercilessly pulling out a dagger and charging into the crowd. Immediately, several beams of blade light spread out, leaving trails of blood wherever they touched.

During this process, Xiao Tian suffered varying degrees of injuries to his chest and back. But his eyes saw only the road home, bloodshot and ragingly fierce.

Anyone standing in his way—death!

Amid cries of agony, Xiao Tian finally carved a path of blood, with the vast blue sea ahead, symbolizing the direction of freedom!

"Splash!"

Xiao Tian darted to the shore and, with a splash, dived into the sea. Quickly, Xiao Tian’s figure vanished into the ocean.

Meanwhile, the Huaxia military high command was tensely watching the scene unfold.

Especially Elder Zhu, responsible for commanding this operation, his heart nearly in his throat, afraid to even breathe as he watched the screen showing countless planes attacking Xiao Tian.

In those tense moments, he wished he could dash in to rescue Xiao Tian himself.

Yet, upon witnessing the various tactics and abilities of Xiao Tian, who even killed Fujino Katsuyuki and downed helicopters to survive a sea of fire, Elder Zhu couldn’t help but tremble slightly with excitement.

Previously, after Xiao Tian experienced those events, he had been downcast, even relinquishing his position as director. As his most admired and proud protégé, Elder Zhu had been deeply regretful.

But seeing Xiao Tian this moment, Elder Zhu’s heart leaped with joy, filled with a single thought.

The Hunter had returned!

"Report to the commander, we are near the high seas now and have eliminated the personnel sent by Japan to stop us."

"Good!" Elder Zhu exclaimed joyously, "Advance at full speed to greet our hero!"

-----

After diving into the sea, Xiao Tian felt an unusual sense of familiarity.

Last time he plunged into the ocean, it was filled with despair, but this time, it symbolized rebirth!

Xiao Tian’s arms flew rapidly as he sped through the water, leaving a white trail in his wake.

From the moment Xiao Tian shot down the helicopter to carving his bloody path and jumping into the sea, the entire process took less than a minute.

By the time the Japanese reacted, Xiao Tian was already gone without a trace!

"Baka, baka!! Baka!!!"

The prime minister shouted "Baka" three times, his face flushed red, neck blue with rage. A bit of froth appeared at the corner of his mouth, his voice nearing a frenzied roar. Nearly fainting.

He knew clearly that the Huaxia had long been ready in the high seas. This time Xiao Tian’s dive into the sea meant he had successfully returned to Huaxia!

Bang bang bang!

In the military command room, a self-defense force officer immediately drew a pistol and shot at the big screen, his bloodshot eyes staring. Sitting in the chair, fists clenched, his body trembling uncontrollably.

After a long while, the officer’s cold and harsh words echoed throughout the entire command hall.

"All the responsible parties here must be executed by firing squad!"

But it was all to no avail. The one who wreaked havoc on the Shinto Shrine, killed countless Japanese spies and agents, and ruined Japan’s numerous weapons and equipment, turning Japan upside down, Xiao Tian—had he escaped just like that?

Clearly, a massive upheaval had occurred within the Japanese military!

----

Xiao Tian swam swiftly in the ocean, clearly feeling the presence of a school of fish and sharks ahead!

Immediately, a fierce killing aura erupted from Xiao Tian, causing waves of sound to ripple through the water. The initially calm schools of fish and marine creatures suddenly acted as if startled by an external stimulus, quickly fleeing.

Moving at this speed, Xiao Tian couldn’t tell how much time had passed when he finally heard the engine roars in the sea.

Speeding up, Xiao Tian finally broke the surface. On the calm water, a black submarine had already emerged, lying stationary.

In the distance, a few Huaxia soldiers were desperately rowing a lifeboat towards Xiao Tian, their gazes filled with fervor and admiration.

They had clearly seen Xiao Tian’s recent feats.

"Sir, you’ve worked hard!"

A few soldiers reached Xiao Tian, who gave a faint smile and jumped directly onto the lifeboat.

The soldiers’ expressions turned serious as they saluted and bowed, their voices filled with unrestrained fanaticism.

To them, Xiao Tian was practically a divine figure!

Xiao Tian, however, felt somewhat out of place due to their attitude. Waving his hand, he said, "Just be casual."

Saying this, Xiao Tian glanced back at the distant Japan, where black smoke was still visible. Reflecting carefully, this journey to Japan had indeed been filled with peril, with confrontation after confrontation. Fortunately, in the end, not only did he survive, but he also achieved a miracle through genetic reformation, gaining new powers.

Clenching his fist and feeling the strength in his hands, Xiao Tian shouted, "Huaxia, I have returned!"

The navy officers nearby, seeing Xiao Tian covered in wounds, could deeply understand Xiao Tian’s perilous journey, nearly facing death for his homeland in a foreign land. Their eyes reddened instantly.

"Yes, sir, you have returned!"

Finally, led by a few naval officers, Xiao Tian entered the submarine, which charged forward at full speed, heading towards Huaxia.
