Chapter 574

"Kill!"

Facing the twelve incoming Ninja, the many Golden Core experts on the cruise ship also struck out in unison, with various different techniques simultaneously轰隆ing toward those people.

Shuitian Hai and some of the Golden Core experts were distributed around the cruise ship to prevent any fish that slipped through the net from taking the opportunity to damage the ship.

"These people have bombs strapped to their bodies, everyone please be careful when engaging them!" Just at this moment, Lingyun's voice rang out abruptly.

"Bombs? These guys intend to perish together with us!" Hearing this from Lingyun, the Golden Core experts present all felt an extra layer of caution in their hearts.

The Golden Core experts able to participate in this International Exchange Conference were naturally no ordinary people. Being able to break through their strength to the Xiantian Ultimate or even Golden Core before the shackles of heaven and earth were undone, every one of them could be considered a heaven-gifted talent. Facing a group of expendable-like Golden Cores, it was naturally impossible for them to fall into a disadvantage. Rather, from the very beginning, these twelve Golden Core-ranked Ninja were firmly suppressed. Even though they used a completely offensive style of trading their lives for others, it had no effect.

The younger generation on the cruise ship who had not reached the Golden Core realm gathered one after another on the deck, gazing at the battle on the sea with fascination. A battle of Golden Core rank on such a large scale was a rare sight; if they could gain something from this, it would truly be a great joy.

As for the situation where those Ninja might want to take the opportunity to attack these people, it was even more thoroughly prevented. The battlefield between these Ninja and the various Golden Core experts was on the sea at a considerable distance from the cruise ship, and the aftermath of their attacks could not even reach the ship. Even if they shook off the experts they were fighting and pushed toward the cruise ship, they would still have to face the defensive line formed by the Golden Core experts guarding the ship. Finally, the remaining Golden Core experts all surrounded those people, forming a third line of defense.

Most importantly, Chen Jing and Su Wanyue were also mixed in with those people; the two of them were now bona fide Golden Core experts, not to mention that they had the secret support of Lingyun and others. It could be said that the safest place on the cruise ship right now was where these young people were.

Lingyun stood at the bow of the cruise ship. On the sea surface in front of him, twenty Ninja were locked in combat with several water dragons. Although these water dragons were condensed from pure seawater, under the augmentation of Lingyun's Source Power, the combat effectiveness of these water dragons was completely not inferior to experts at the Golden Core Mid-stage. At the same time, these water dragons also possessed powerful regenerative abilities; even if these Ninja joined forces to destroy a part of a water dragon, the water dragon would regenerate by borrowing the seawater from the ocean.

"Damn it, if this continues, we will all be dragged to our deaths!" one of the Ninja said furiously.

"Captain Xiaodao must already know about the situation here, don't they have any reaction?" another Ninja asked through gritted teeth, blocking a dragon claw of a water dragon with the Samurai Sword in his hand.

Just as this Ninja's voice fell, a violent booming sound was heard from afar. Looking up, a mushroom cloud was slowly rising on the distant sea surface.

"Th-this, what is the situation?" The Ninja who saw this scene were all greatly shocked.

They knew that that direction was the location of their temporary base; they had even prepared a powerful Missile at the military base on that island, but looking at it now, it was clear that this matter had been discovered by someone. Now, the people on the island were nine times out of ten completely wiped out. Thinking of this, the expressions of the Ninja present could not help but become even uglier.

This violent explosion was noticed not only by the Ninja attacking the cruise ship, but also by the other Golden Core experts. With their eyesight, they could naturally estimate the distance of the explosion site and the power of this explosion.

After carefully calculating the power of this explosion, all the Golden Core experts had cold sweat trickling down their foreheads. If this explosion had occurred near them, it would definitely have been able to severely injure them. If this batch of Ninja had rushed out at that time, they would inevitably have been like fish on a chopping block, left to be slaughtered by others.

"Sorry, that base of yours has already been wiped out by us!" Lingyun's tone was very casual, but it made the Ninja present feel a chill in their hearts.

For this operation to attack the cruise ship, the forces behind them did not know how much of a price they had paid; the personnel lost in this were countless, and even those dark pawns hidden for over a decade had been activated by several. Moreover, to cover this operation, they had even abandoned a series of plans within Huaxia, pulling over many experts to come here, all to completely bury these dozens of experts and the younger generation they were protecting, so as to curb the future development of Huaxia.

All these actions seemed seamless, but the cruise ship they happened to choose was exactly the one Lingyun was riding on. In the face of Lingyun's absolute strength, all conspiracies were ground into ashes. Moreover, once this kind of thing was exposed, they could not imagine what kind of retaliation the forces behind them would have to face next.

"Kill! Even if we die, we must drag someone down with us!" one of the Ninja let out a roar, and actually ignored the water dragons summoned by Lingyun, charging directly toward Lingyun's direction.

Facing the Samurai Sword slashing toward him, Lingyun formed a seal with one hand and pressed it against the Void. Pale blue light gathered in front of him, forming a huge ice shield.

"Ice Armor Profound Art!"

The Samurai Sword slashed onto the ice shield, emitting a violent booming sound. But that Ninja's expression changed drastically; under his full-force slash, the seemingly fragile ice shield did not even show a single crack, and the cold energy on the ice shield instead spread along the Samurai Sword toward his body.

While shocked, the Ninja did not hesitate at all; he used the ice shield to slightly borrow force with his Samurai Sword, and his figure retreated rapidly.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

Lingyun waved his hand, and the ice shield in front of him shattered abruptly, turning into countless ice shards that pounced toward that Ninja. The Ninja could not dodge in time and was instantly riddled with holes.

The death of the first Ninja was like lighting a fuse; under the pursuit of the water dragons, the twenty Ninja were one by one stained with blood by the sea. Their counterattacks did not even make Lingyun move a single step.

As the battle on Lingyun's side drew to a close, the battle on the sea around the cruise ship had also entered its final stages. A few of the twelve Golden Core-ranked Ninja chose to self-detonate at the subsequent critical moments, wanting to drag one or two people down with them. But this behavior had long been seen through by those Golden Core experts. Under their intentional guidance, the three self-detonation attempts did not actually hurt a single person.

As the last Ninja was killed by the joint efforts of multiple Golden Core experts amidst wails, this battle on the sea finally drew to a terminal end.
