Chapter 573: The True Killing Move

"Lingyun, I'm back!" A Space Array suddenly unfolded beside Lingyun, and the petite figure of Nangong Nayue appeared before him.

"How is it? Are there any other ambushes in the vicinity?" Lingyun asked.

"Not far from here, there is a small, desolate island with an abandoned military base on it. But that military base has been reactivated, and a Missile is currently aimed at this cruise ship," Nangong Nayue said.

"How powerful is the Missile?" Lingyun asked.

"The power is enough to severely injure over a dozen top-tier Golden Core experts!" Nangong Nayue said.

"Hiss—that really is a grand gesture!" Hearing this, Chen Jing could not help but gasp.

"So what now?" Lingyun looked at Na Yue with a look that was not quite a smile.

"As for now, as soon as this Missile is launched, that small island will receive a very large firework!" Nangong Nayue's tone was very flat, as if she had just done something trivial.

"It seems there will be a show to watch this time! I am quite curious to know what kind of mood the people staying under the ship will be in when that Missile is launched!" Su Wanyue said.

"Do you know when they will launch the attack?" Lingyun asked.

"It should be around four o'clock tomorrow morning!" Nangong Nayue recalled the time she saw on the missile launch pad and said slowly.

"Four in the morning; in a sense, it is also the time when a person is most relaxed!" Lingyun narrowed his eyes and said. "However, we don't have that much time to waste with them. Let's act now!"

"Act now?" Chen Jing's tone held some doubt. "Have all their people arrived?"

"If my perception is not mistaken, all of them have already arrived—a full thirty-two Golden Cores. Although most of them were artificially stimulated, they really did spend a fortune!" Lingyun's gaze rested on the seemingly calm sea, an inexplicable light surging in his eyes.

"Thirty-two Golden Cores, how is this possible?" Chen Jing's expression changed slightly. "Which force possesses such a powerful foundation?"

"No matter what force it is, this time, these guys are dead for sure!"

"Jingjing, do you feel that something is a bit off about the sea?" Su Wanyue suddenly looked at the sea and said.

"It is indeed a bit off! This sea surface seems too calm!" Chen Jing's tone was full of gravity.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

Suddenly, pillars of water erupted from the surface, and the massive waves caused the entire ship to sway.

"What's wrong? What's happening?" The sudden turn of events made everyone on the cruise ship alert.

"Bang—" Huge splashes exploded on the sea surface as black figures broke through the water and landed on the surface.

"Enemy attack!" Seeing these people appear, Shui Tianhai's expression changed, and he let out a long roar.

The cry of "Enemy attack" made the expressions of all the Golden Cores present turn ugly. They had not expected that anyone would dare to attack a ship heading to the International Exchange Conference at such a time; this was declaring war on the entire Dark World!

However, these people also felt immense shock in their hearts. One had to know that there were thirty-two people who broke through the water, and their strength was uniformly at the Golden Core stage. Although many of these Golden Cores were "watered down," being able to send so many people at once showed how vast the force behind them was.

Compared to the shock of the people on the cruise ship, the Ninjas forced out of the sea were furious. Their plan had been extremely meticulous: use the Missile to attack the cruise ship, then they would finish off the survivors. But now they had been forced out and exposed to the public. Regardless of whether they could wipe out everyone here, their operation was already exposed. Thinking of the consequences of exposure, the faces of the Ninjas behind their masks became extremely ugly.

"Hum, hum, hum—"

The sea around the cruise ship suddenly distorted, and giant dragons made purely of water revealed half their bodies above the surface.

"Condensing water into dragons, Blue Sea Dragon Sword, this is... Lingyun?" A Golden Core looked at the giant water dragons circling the cruise ship, his expression changing drastically.

"Lingyun? Lingyun is on this ship?"

The eyes of everyone present turned toward Lingyun, who was standing at the bow of the ship. Only now did they discover with surprise that they had not realized the famous Lingyun of the Dark World was on this ship.

"This, how is this possible? He has been on this ship the whole time, why did I keep ignoring him?" Someone looked at Lingyun with some terror.

One must know that the insight of a Golden Core Stage expert is very strong. But a celebrity of the Dark World like Lingyun was on the same ship as them, and they had not sensed a thing before; this situation was truly too terrifying. Just imagine, if such a person wanted to kill someone, they would probably only realize it after being attacked.

The thirty-two Ninjas surrounding the cruise ship looked at Lingyun standing at the bow, equally facing a formidable enemy. They knew that in their intelligence, Lingyun was on the same level as Long Jingtian. With such an expert present, their operation this time would likely be aborted.

"Kill!"

After exchanging glances, the thirty-two Ninjas let out a roar in unison. Twenty of them lunged toward Lingyun, while the others rushed toward other parts of the cruise ship.

"Their goal is to destroy the cruise ship, stop them!"

Seeing this, Shui Tianhai saw through their intentions. They wanted to use those twenty people to hold Lingyun back while the others destroyed the cruise ship. As long as the cruise ship was destroyed, their mission would be half-successful.

Meanwhile, at the military base on the desolate island.

"Baka, a bunch of trash! What were those people in the intelligence group doing? They didn't even investigate the information of everyone on that ship clearly!" A Pangzi shouted angrily at the man bowing before him. "Lingyun is our key target, but you didn't even figure out he was on this ship! Everyone in the intelligence group responsible for this operation must go commit seppuku!"

"Oda, now is not the time to be angry. The most important thing now is what we should do. To be honest, I don't think those thirty-two people can stop Lingyun. They are just disposable items that were catalyzed, but their opponent is an existence that even the most powerful Vampire Duke would regret facing!" The Shouzi standing beside the Pangzi said.

"What else can we do now? We can only abandon those disposable items!" Oda looked at the missile launch pad in front of him and gritted his teeth.

"You mean, launch now? But the missile's calibration isn't finished yet?" The Shouzi's expression was troubled.

"Now is not the time to hesitate! All we can do is give it one last shot!" The Pangzi gritted his teeth and slammed his fist onto the launch button.
