584: Chapter 579: Boarding the Boat, Releasing the Toad!
“Fight!”
With a fierce shout, a massive brawl erupted.
Gao Yang and his reinforcements arrived first, and after setting up their formation, they waited for over twenty minutes before the British arrived.
Then, without knowing who yelled first, Gao Yang and his team on four speedboats charged forward without exchanging insults or testing the waters—no words, just straight into the fight.
There were just over two hundred people aboard the Sicilian Prince, excluding those escorting outside, leaving around a hundred.
However, the Sicilian Prince had only four speedboats for transporting people.
Although all were deployed, the cramped boats limited their maneuverability.
The British monopolized the escort businesses in the Gulf of Aden.
They were an alliance with naturally larger numbers and more transport speedboats—seven in total—with about 140 to 150 men.
Both sides were well-prepared, primarily wielding sticks—long, short, police-issue, or even crude steel pipes.
Nearly all were retired elite soldiers, who began to fight in a full-blown street brawl style.
As the speedboats of both sides drew close, instead of jumping to assist, everyone stayed at the edge of their boats and swung their sticks amidst a cacophony of crashing sounds and shouting.
What a spectacle!
Blocking someone’s livelihood is like killing their parents; the people here were fighting not just out of spite but for their own interests.
Without needing encouragement, everyone wielded sticks with all their might in a scene rare to see even on land, let alone at sea.
In this situation, with everyone swinging sticks randomly, there was nowhere to hide or escape, and although both sides consisted mainly of veterans with combat skills, there was no room to utilize them.
Gao Yang was no exception, unable to perform his Groin Kick.
On the modern battlefield, Lee Jinfang’s fighting skills had limited scope to be utilized.
No matter how skilled he was, a single bullet could end his life.
But in this chaotic melee with sticks, Lee Jinfang finally got a chance to show what true fighting was all about!
One man overpowering everyone!
Lee Jinfang wielded a nunchuck in each hand and with a ferocious shout and a kick that sent an opponent flying, the nunchucks whirled—blocking left, striking right, smashing high, and striking low.
Accompanied by the sounds of impacts on bodies, he swept through the opponents, invincible wherever he went.
Lee Jinfang might have been just a Fire Assault Specialist among the rank and file soldiers, but had he been born a few centuries earlier, he would have surely been a great general—a fierce one at that!
Lee Jinfang quickly cleared an area; those he struck down stood no chance of getting back up because Eileen, spotting an opportunity, followed closely behind him.
Every opponent Lee Jinfang knocked down, Eileen followed up with a ruthless hit.
Eileen’s violent genes were fully on display, frighteningly aggressive; she didn’t just fight—her opponents either ended up with broken arms or legs, twisted, stamped on, or kicked with bone-crunching intensity.
All of them were retired veterans with decent resilience, but under the onslaught of Lee Jinfang and Eileen, none could withstand a second strike.
Lee Jinfang fought with a red-hot ferocity, having initially taken several hits himself.
However, once he cleared some space on a speedboat, no one could get close to him anymore.
Watching Lee Jinfang roar continuously as he quickly cleared the people from a speedboat, Gao Yang and his crew stopped moving, dumbstruck as they watched Lee Jinfang single-handedly dominate the scene.
A dozen men stood still, watching as Lee Jinfang kicked the last man into the sea.
However, as the kicked man screamed while falling into the water, Lee Jinfang, seething with killing intent, turned his head towards the motionless group, wiped the blood sprayed onto his face with his sleeve, and pointed fiercely towards the two intensely fighting boats, shouting, “Charge!
Charge!
Kill them!
Kill them!”
The British had more ships and men; thus, once the fighting began, Gao Yang’s side was at a disadvantage.
However, Gao’s boat was an exception.
Less than three minutes into the fight, their opponents had all fallen into the water, so they were free to assist others.
As if waking from a dream, the speedboat driver steered the boat into a small battlefield where two British boats were fiercely attacking one of Gao Yang’s boats.
After driving the speedboat up alongside the British ship, without waiting to secure it with an iron hook, Lee Jinfang roared and leaped onto the enemy’s boat.
The British, having the upper hand and enjoying the fight on one side of the speedboat, didn’t notice anyone approaching from behind.
By the time two men were knocked down and thrown into the sea, they realized something was amiss.
Eileen followed closely and also jumped onto the ship, while others were considering jumping to assist when Gao Yang shouted, “Don’t go over!
Let’s create space for them; just watching is enough!”
A strange scene unfolded as Lee Jinfang and Eileen wreaked havoc on the enemy’s ship, while almost twenty men on their own boat cheered for them.
Meanwhile, Glolov and Cui Bo, although not raising their guns, closely monitored the surroundings.
They were ready to shoot but couldn’t raise their guns, everyone worried that the other side might open fire.
Once the guns were raised, it would trigger a chain reaction, turning the brawl into a gunfight.
Black Will watched, trembling all over, not from fear but from exhilaration, screaming himself hoarse in fervent support.
Like a tiger among sheep, he quickly toppled everyone on board.
Amidst the cheers, Li Jinfang crossed over from his own ship to another.
After enduring several blows, he successfully made it to another boat and then, everything continued.
Gao Yang had seen many skilled fighters, but he had never seen anyone who could fight like Li Jinfang, except for Li Jinfang himself.
Each speedboat was its own battlefield.
The changes brought by Li Jinfang quickly caught the attention of those on other nearby battlegrounds.
Wherever Li Jinfang went, he quickly turned the brawls into one-sided beatdowns within a short period.
The British were finally beginning to panic.
Numerous British had already fallen into the sea.
Although Li Jinfang had personally knocked only a few overboard, after he opened up the field, it was easy for others to send their opponents into the water.
Gao Yang simply sat back leisurely and watched as Li Jinfang and Eileen cleared another boat.
Gao shouted, “Come here, this way, that ship, go fight them!”
After directing the speedboat to pick up Li Jinfang and Eileen, Gao pointed to the most fiercely contested ship and said, “Over there, board them!
Release the Toad!”
The speedboat charged forward, brushing by a British ship.
Gao and his crew ecstatically used hooks to latch onto the opposing vessel.
This time, the British did not use poles with hooks to board but instead desperately tried to push Gao’s ship away.
The British were scared.
It was clear to anyone with eyes that they couldn’t let Li Jinfang get close to them.
However, if you asked them who they feared the most, it might not necessarily be Li Jinfang, but Eileen.
Whereas Li Jinfang would knock people down, Eileen would often find the time to break opponents’ legs in addition to fighting.
“F**k, that b**** broke my arm!”
“My leg, my leg is broken!
Help me!”
The British floating in the sea were not mute; they screamed in agony and cursed loudly.
As the screams of pain began to drown out the shouts of combat, anyone with ears needed to seriously consider the consequences of continuing the fight.
So, when Li Jinfang had endured several hits and finally jumped onto an enemy ship, before he even started fighting properly, a shout from someone on that ship followed by the sound of splashing was all that could be heard.
When the first smart person jumped into the sea before Li Jinfang could kick or break their limbs, others followed suit, jumping into the water.
Thus, even before Li Jinfang could throw a punch, the ship was already deserted.
Li Jinfang was a bit taken aback.
At that moment, Gao laughed loudly and shouted, “Come back, switch places and keep fighting!”
Li Jinfang flipped back onto his own ship, followed by Eileen.
The situation had reversed, with their opponents’ ships now aiding their own.
In terms of numbers of people and ships, Gao’s group had the upper hand.
Gao, holding a shield in his left hand and a T-shaped crutch he had snatched in his right, pointed with the crutch to a ship now being overwhelmed by his men and said with a dragged tone, “Over there, release the Toad!”
But as their speedboat moved closer, Gao stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs, “Throw all of them into the sea, chase the Brits if they run, I don’t want to see a single Brit left on their boat!”
Watching Gao’s ship draw near, the British didn’t even know how to describe their own feelings.
Finally, before Gao’s group arrived, the ship that Li Jinfang had approached was already empty.
Only two ships with people remained, and at that point, they finally decided to flee.
One speedboat fired up its engine, increased its power, and darted out between two other boats.
But just as it was escaping the pincer, Gao’s speedboat crashed head-on into it.
Both boats rocked violently, but with their bow smashing into the opponent’s side, Gao’s ship fared slightly better.
At that moment, Gao banged his T-shaped crutch on his shield, his face ferocious as he said, “You know what to do if you’re smart, right?”
With despairing looks exchanged among them, the crew very consciously jumped into the water and immediately started swimming away.
Finally, the last Briton on that ship also jumped into the sea in despair.
With that, Gao fulfilled his promise; not a single Briton was left on the speedboat.
A cheer erupted from the ship, with everyone shouting at the top of their lungs.
Even while celebrating their victory, they did not forget to ridicule the losers in the water.
Finally, as the volume of the cheering slightly lowered, Gao shouted across the sea of heads, “Remember this!
This is what happens when you provoke us, if you’re not convinced, we can keep fighting!”
After Gao finished speaking, another round of cheering occurred, and as sporadic applause started, soon everyone, including Gao, was applauding Li Jinfang.
Their applause was for Li Jinfang.
In this grand melee, Li Jinfang shone brilliantly, perfectly encapsulating what it means to be a master, a true master!
