CHAPTER 1737: CHAPTER 1789: HUAXIA’S STRONGEST TEAM

In fact, Satan didn’t come alone. He also had subordinates, people from the Green Hand Party, and those he’s subdued over the years, who were now gradually disembarking onto the island, both openly and covertly supporting Satan. Additionally, those Black people were obvious supporters of Satan.

At this moment, Li Yifei didn’t have many supporters; most were just here to watch the spectacle. The Koreans from East Asia couldn’t be relied on, nor could the Japanese, with only Koboto Kobayashi supporting Li Yifei. As for other countries, like Vietnam and others, it’s needless to say. On the contrary, Europe and the United States showed some goodwill towards him.

But Li Yifei wasn’t without allies. Faced with Master Jiu Shan’s undisguised hostility and killing intent, Li Yifei didn’t take it too seriously. Suddenly, his face broke into a joyful expression, baffling many who were trying to figure out what Golden Eagle found so pleasing about Master Jiu Shan.

Weren’t these two supposed to have a terrible relationship? Master Jiu Shan appearing here at this time is certainly to Li Yifei’s detriment.

Quickly, they understood what was going on. Li Yifei’s happiness wasn’t because of Jiu Shan, but because of a few people 50 meters behind Jiu Shan. These few varied in height and build, all with Eastern faces, five in total. As they walked over, the distance between each was equal, spanning a broad age range from in their forties to fifties, with one elder whose age was indiscernible, giving the impression of someone who should be very old, yet looked surprisingly youthful.

The five approached at a leisure pace, but Li Yifei was overwhelmed with excitement, running quickly towards them, soon arriving in front of them, and excitedly shouting, "Third Brother, Fifth Brother, Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother, Ninth Brother!"

Li Yifei hadn’t expected that the people Murong Yuanqing mentioned on the phone would be these five.

Over the years, Li Yifei had only met Fifth Brother, Seventh Brother, Ninth Brother, and Fourth Brother. This time, the Fourth Brother didn’t come, but the Third Brother did.

Third Brother is more than double Li Yifei’s age and was one of the earliest founders of the Flying Hawk Squad. His abilities were unfathomable, and at least back then, Li Yifei viewed the brothers above Third Brother as the most terrifying existence.

Now, with the arrival of five brothers, Li Yifei was especially thrilled and delighted.

After embracing each one, Third Brother Liu Ming patted Li Yifei’s shoulder and said, "We’re here, so just fight with peace of mind!"

No extra words were spoken, but while Third Brother spoke, his eyes swept over Master Jiu Shan, Gan Ma, and many others, his one sentence becoming a light threat.

On the way here, they already knew that many unexpected guests would likely pose threats to Li Yifei today, so upon arrival, they made their position clear: Anyone wanting to harm their Tenth Brother would need to consider their approval.

During their greetings, those nearby were already buzzing. Not many knew the five, but some recognized Third Brother Liu Ming, those who had interacted with him during the age when Third Brother dominated.

"It’s the Phantom Squad! Heavens! Why are they here?" An old man in his sixties or seventies couldn’t help but exclaim, and upon hearing the name Phantom Squad, many showed shocked expressions.

Phantom Squad is a group formed by the retired captains of Huaxia’s Flying Hawk Squad, operating with a high degree of freedom, required only in special times or events. In total, there are twenty people, excluding those with insufficient skills or who were sacrificed, now along with Li Yifei, there are ten people altogether. It’s fearfully predicted that for an extended future period only these ten will exist, referring to each other as brothers, regardless of how much older Big Brother is compared to Li Yifei, he remains Big Brother, though Li Yifei prefers to call him Boss.

Flying Hawk Squad is impressive enough, but Phantom Squad is practically a legend within the special forces profession. If judging purely by military skills and combat capabilities, if Huaxia truly dispatched Phantom Squad, other countries’ special forces might as well not bother.

The combination of ten terrifying captains erupts not with a strength of ten but possibly a hundred.

Even Mig, already deemed a legend among US special forces, was moved. His eyes widened, gawking at the few Huaxia members opposite, who may not have been conspicuous in appearance, perhaps even unremarkable, but whose abilities were unquestionably recognized by the external world. On the small Fog Island, six of them were now present, including Li Yifei.

If... purely hypothetically, a bomb were to be dropped here, many countries would cry, suffering tremendous losses, with Huaxia’s loss being the greatest. Mig shook his head, discarding such bizarre notions, wondering what nonsense he was thinking.

Master Jiu Shan and Gan Ma simultaneously opened their eyes, a cold gleam flashing within them. Their auras surged outward, menacingly towards Li Yifei, whose brow twitched, turning back to snort, his own aura flaring to counter theirs.

Third Brother Liu Ming patted Li Yifei’s shoulder, saying, "Save your strength for the fight against Satan. Leave these people to us; since your big brothers are here, there’s no way we’d let our younger brother be in danger."

Fifth Brother Zhou Boyu snorted, saying, "Go prepare for the competition, don’t bother with these old die-hards. Instead of staying comfortably at home, they insist on coming here to flaunt themselves. If they dare to show off, we won’t let them get away with it."

"Alright, thank you, brothers! I won’t let you down!" Li Yifei said, clasping his fists.

Currently, speaking of strength, Li Yifei is very powerful within Phantom Squad. Others might be difficult to determine, but from Fourth Brother to Ninth Brother, they are considerably weaker than Li Yifei. After all, Li Yifei is now an Innate Expert, capable of matching against experts like Murong Yuanqing and Elder Feng while still holding back. However, Li Yifei has never compared himself to Third Brother, let alone Second Brother or Big Brother, so he’s uncertain of the results.

"Go ahead, Old Ten, proceed boldly. Leave other matters to your brothers," exhorted Old Nine Shen Tianfang, whose nickname is Mad Hawk, notorious for being not just bold but practically insane while leading their team. He then addressed Master Jiu Shan, "Old monk, why aren’t you enjoying incense offerings in the temple, instead running here?"

Once Shen Tianfang spoke, the island fell silent, only the distant sound of waves crashing against rocks could be heard. Shen Tianfang represented Huaxia’s accountability, whereas Master Jiu Shan represented Japan’s stance.

Over the past hundred years and more between the two countries, hatred has relentlessly accumulated. As soldiers, they eternally remember that period of humiliation, thus treating Jiu Shan with little respect, considering even refraining from immediate violence as courteous.
