Chapter 718 Waving Goodbye

At that moment, An Dongye and Qiuchanyi were also baffled. The luxury cruise ship was sailing at full speed, but it was far slower than the small yachts. Consequently, while the 1,000 yachts were already engaging the aircraft carrier strike group, those on the cruise ship were too far away to see the action, only able to hear the distant commotion.

"They turned back because they realized the aircraft carrier strike group had no weapons or ammunition," Ye Xiu said with a smile.

Everyone was stunned.

"How did you know the aircraft carrier strike group was out of weapons and ammunition?" Oleg asked. Everyone else, including An Dongye and Qiuchanyi, was also intensely curious.

Because I was the one who had its weapons and ammunition stolen!

Ye Xiu did not answer. Instead, he turned to An Dongye and said, "Tell the captain to bypass the aircraft carrier strike group and head for Biluo Island. We won’t participate in this war, but we can watch the show from a distance."

"Okay!" An Dongye, who had already guessed this was all Ye Xiu’s handiwork, immediately called the captain.

Gradually, Oleg and the others were able to see the battlefield. They saw 1,000 yachts stationary on the water while brutal Cold Weapons combat raged aboard the strike group’s cruisers, destroyers, escort ships, and supply ships. The surface of the sea was already littered with countless floating corpses.

"The yachts haven’t been attacked. It seems the aircraft carrier strike group really is out of ammunition," Oleg remarked.

At once, everyone’s gaze fell upon Ye Xiu. When he hadn’t answered Oleg’s question earlier, they had assumed he was spouting nonsense. Now, they knew he had been telling the truth. In their minds, Ye Xiu’s image suddenly became shrouded in mystery.

"Where’s the aircraft carrier? Why is the aircraft carrier missing?" Oleg asked.

Everyone was startled. It was then that they noticed something odd. Although the cruisers and other ships from the aircraft carrier strike group were there, the aircraft carrier itself was gone. Ye Xiu did not respond.

Meanwhile, the fleeing aircraft carrier hadn’t been pursued. Instead, it ran right into the main army from Biluo Island, a sight that nearly made Kristina vomit blood. If she had initially ordered her entire force to set out together instead of letting the strike group advance alone, the army of Biluo Island could have easily annihilated the 1,000 yachts with its superior numbers and strength. It was too late for regrets. Kristina immediately ordered all ships to return to Biluo Island at full speed. At the same time, she ordered the aircraft carrier to take a detour. The island’s army was using hand-rowed boats that were not only slow but also numerous, completely blocking its path.

"Princess, look! It’s that large cruise ship," the Great Marshal of the Biluo Island military said, pointing into the distance.

Kristina and Ming Yue followed his gaze and saw the luxury cruise ship was not far off.

Kristina commanded, "Move the aircraft carrier closer and kill everyone on board."

"What if the people on the cruise ship have guns and cannons?" Ming Yue asked.

Kristina considered this. "After we get close to the cruise ship, have all uninjured Martial Artists on the aircraft carrier jump into the sea. They are to swim over and climb aboard for close combat."

"As you command!" The Great Marshal acknowledged the order and departed.

At that moment, Ye Xiu and the others on the deck of the luxury cruise ship also spotted the aircraft carrier. Seeing it turn and head straight for them, Oleg and the other wealthy heirs, daughters, reporters, and bodyguards instantly panicked.

"The aircraft carrier is coming for us! What do we do?" Oleg cried out.

"When it gets closer, just announce who you are. You’ll scare them to death," Ye Xiu teased.

Oleg’s face darkened. How could he still be making fun of him at a time like this?

Soon, the aircraft carrier was only a few hundred meters from the luxury cruise ship. Over 2,000 uninjured Martial Artists leaped into the sea like dumplings being dropped into a pot. They managed to sprint across the water’s surface for a hundred meters before they had to dive in and swim the rest of the way. They wished they could have run on the water all the way to the cruise ship, but they didn’t have Ye Xiu’s ability. After the 2,000-plus Martial Artists had jumped into the sea, the aircraft carrier turned and resumed its course toward Biluo Island.

"Here they come! They’re coming!"

"Look at how many of them there are! They must be powerful Martial Artists! What do we do?"

"With so many of them, they could probably kill us all in a minute, right?"

Aboard the luxury cruise ship, Oleg and his companions were paralyzed with fear at the sight of over 2,000 Martial Artists charging toward them. Qiuchanyi was also in a panic, but when she saw how composed Ye Xiu and An Dongye were, she forced herself to feign calmness as well.

"I wanted to avoid this battle, but it seems some people are just eager to die," Ye Xiu sighed. He walked to the edge of the deck facing the approaching swimmers and casually waved his hand.

An explosive wave of Dao Mang shot out across the water. In an instant, the bodies of the 2,000-plus advancing Martial Artists were all floating on the surface, their blood staining the sea crimson.

Seeing this, Qiuchanyi, Oleg, and the others gasped, looking at Ye Xiu in utter astonishment.

Oh my god! Is this bandit really that powerful?

An Dongye had just finished assembling her sniper rifle, but by the time she was done, Ye Xiu had already killed everyone. Annoyed, she complained, "What is wrong with you, kiddo? Couldn’t you have left a few for me? Now that you’ve killed them all, what am I supposed to do with this sniper rifle, shoot at birds?"

With that, she fired a shot. Hundreds of meters away on the aircraft carrier, a wounded Martial Artist who had been watching the show suddenly had a massive hole blown through his chest.

Qiuchanyi, Oleg, and the others gasped once again, staring at An Dongye in shock.

"You... you... you’re a sniper?" Oleg stammered in disbelief.

The others were equally stunned. They had always assumed An Dongye was an ordinary girl whose formidability came from her Martial Artist bodyguard. It turned out she was a powerhouse in her own right.

"Oh no, they’re experts!"

From several hundred meters away, Kristina and Ming Yue had been watching the spectacle, unable to make out the faces of the people on the cruise ship’s deck. They had only vaguely seen someone wave their hand, followed by a burst of countless bright lights. Then, the 2,000-plus Martial Artists swimming toward the luxury cruise ship were all floating dead on the water.

"To kill over 2,000 Second Realm War Gods with a single long-range attack... that person must be incredibly strong," Kristina said, her face pale. "Ming Yue, quick! Tell the captain to steer the aircraft carrier away from the cruise ship! If that person swims over, we’ll..."

She didn’t get to finish. Not far from them, a cloud of Blood Mist erupted from the chest of a heavily wounded First Realm War God.

"A sniper! Everyone get down!" Kristina roared, being the first to drop to the deck. Immediately, everyone else did the same. As she went down, Kristina pulled the high-powered binoculars next to her down as well. Lying flat, she tried to use them to identify the expert who had annihilated over 2,000 Martial Artists in a single move.

"Ye Xiu?"

When she saw his face, she shrieked in terror and immediately began screaming, "Quick! Everyone jump into the sea! Scatter and run for your lives!"

With that, she grabbed Ming Yue, who was lying next to her, and leaped off the aircraft carrier. She knew all too well how formidable Ye Xiu was. If he boarded the carrier, no one would survive. Their only chance was to jump into the sea and scatter in all directions. With so many people, Ye Xiu wouldn’t be able to find her and Ming Yue right away.

I wasn’t even planning on coming over! Just how scared of me is Kristina to react like this?
