Chapter 607: Sniper S.H.I.E.L.D

In the Huaxia sea, on a desolate, uninhabited island reef.

"Ten minutes left, I hope you don't disappoint me!" Esdeath gazed at the calm sea surface, a glimmer of excitement flashing in her eyes.

The reef, which originally only had rocks, was now covered in frost, and there were over a dozen shattered ice sculptures on the ground.

In the depths of the profound ocean, a black phantom was silently sneaking forward.

"Haoke, where have we reached now?" a man holding a wine glass, about fifty or sixty years old, asked the person beside him.

"Ten minutes more, and we will reach the next contact point. The people at that contact point will lead us into Huaxia," said a man with graying hair but a quite youthful face.

"I don't know why, but I always have an ominous premonition," the man said, shaking the wine glass in his hand and frowning.

"I say, Mile, you are really too suspicious. We have already snuck into the depths of the Huaxia sea, yet they are still completely unaware of our current whereabouts. The defensive net that the Dragon Group talks about is simply a joke to the technology of our S. H. I. E. L. D.," Haoke said, waving his hand. "Besides, when has that unreliable intuition of yours ever worked?"

Suddenly, a violent booming sound came, and the people in the submarine felt the entire vessel shake, as if it had hit something.

"What happened?" Haoke asked loudly.

"Sir, according to the information fed back by the sonar, it seems we have hit an iceberg!" a voice full of disbelief came.

"An iceberg? What kind of joke are you telling? How could an iceberg appear in this place? And even if there were an iceberg, why didn't the sonar detect it before?"

"Oh no, sir, it seems we are in trouble. The submarine is surrounded by icebergs!" At this moment, the submarine captain's voice already carried a trace of fear. "And these icebergs are crashing toward our submarine at a very high speed."

"Boom—"

Amidst a violent roar, the entire submarine shook fiercely, followed by the frantic ringing of alarms.

"What exactly happened?" Mile stood up with a 'swoosh' and asked loudly.

"The hardness of these icebergs is simply too high. The submarine has suffered a violent impact and is severely damaged; the entire vessel has started taking on water!" the captain's voice carried a trace of fear. "Now, the entire submarine is being pushed toward the surface of the sea under the crushing force of the icebergs."

"Tsk, this iron lump is really sturdy!"

Esdeath, on the reef, muttered to herself, then lifted her hand, and a massive Ice Spear dozens of meters long appeared in mid-air, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it stabbed down toward the black shadow gradually emerging from the seawater.

"Bang—"

Huge waves surged into the sky, and the submarine let out a shrill wail; even though it was the pinnacle of S. H. I. E. L. D.'s technology, it still appeared so fragile under Esdeath's Ice Spear. The Ice Spear pierced directly through the entire submarine, and terrifying cold air spread from the spear, instantly covering the submarine's hull in a layer of frost.

"Ice Burial!"

A massive iceberg appeared in mid-air, whistling as it smashed toward the submarine that had been pushed up from the water by the icebergs.

"Creeak—"

A teeth-gritting sound of metal grinding came, and the entire submarine was sealed within the iceberg. The submarine was severely deformed, and explosions began to occur in many places. The thick layer of ice blocked the power of the explosions, but still caused many cracks to appear on the inner ice surface.

"Tsk, as expected, there isn't a single one who can fight!" Esdeath said with a look of disdain.

Suddenly, a large bulge suddenly swelled up on one part of the severely deformed submarine. Following that, an incomparably powerful force directly pierced through the submarine's hull and simultaneously penetrated the entire iceberg.

"Hmm, there are still people?" Esdeath raised her eyebrows slightly. "It seems that not everyone on this transport tool called a submarine is weak."

"Damn it, what exactly is the situation?" Haoke, having broken through the iceberg, let out a roar.

His physique had expanded several times over, and apart from the different skin color, he was still somewhat similar to the Hulk from Marvel.

After Haoke broke through the iceberg, dozens of figures rushed out from the submarine, simultaneously passing through the passage Haoke had blasted open with brute force and arriving outside the iceberg.

"It's very obvious we have been attacked. The other party knew long ago that someone would be meeting us here. And it is highly likely they discovered us the moment we entered Huaxia's territorial waters," Mile said in a deep voice.

"Then why did they wait until we arrived here to make a move?" Weiersun asked.

"Of course, it's to prevent you from slipping away!" Just at this moment, a cold voice came.

The few people present looked up and couldn't help but be shocked; they hadn't even noticed that a woman was still standing on the reef in front of them.

"This person is very dangerous!" Mile's pupils constricted as he looked at Esdeath, and he warned loudly. "She is highly likely the one who attacked us!"

"Attacking us, just this one person, and a woman at that?" Haoke roared. "Watch me punch her into a meat patty!"

After Haoke finished speaking, his figure rushed out like lightning, his massive fist carrying the sound of tearing wind, smashing straight toward Esdeath's head.

"Haoke, don't be careless!" Seeing Haoke make a move directly, Mile shouted loudly.

"Uninteresting brute!"

Esdeath opened her hand, and countless frost instantly appeared on Haoke, who was rushing toward her. In just a few breaths' time, Haoke was sealed inside a massive block of ice and smashed onto the sea surface.

"Such a powerful ice-type Esper, let's attack together!" Weiersun's pupils constricted as he watched Haoke being instantly frozen.

"There are six people in total, and some small fry too?" Watching the crowd rushing toward her, Esdeath sneered and gripped the Long sword in her hand. "Binglanzhajiangjun!"

Vast cold air spread wildly from her body to the surroundings, and in just a few breaths, she created a massive ice domain on the sea surface.

"Crack, crack—"

One by one, massive figures suddenly broke through the ice and landed on the ice surface. These figures were all condensed from ice crystals, wearing ice armor, holding massive Ice Spears in their hands, and sitting beneath them were ferocious-looking ice beasts. There were not many Ice Knights, but every single one of them exuded a fierce aura.

"Form ranks, charge!"

Esdeath waved the Long sword in her hand, and the ice beasts beneath the Ice Knights let out silent roars, their four hooves kicking the ground as they charged forward like arrows released from a bow.

"Get out of my way!" Mile let out a roar, the ice surface continuously exploded, and a powerful shockwave blasted all the Ice Knights charging at the front away.

However, the Ice Knights did not launch an attack on them, but instead bypassed the six of them and surrounded the other S. H. I. E. L. D. Espers in the rear.

"Now those small fry can't get in the way. Next, it's our battlefield!" Esdeath pointed her sword at the six of them, a bloodthirsty smile appearing on her face.
