The sea was dyed red with fresh blood from the six officers!

Little White took advantage of the split-second when Ling Yun was in the air to activate her most powerful technique — the Celestial Fox Illusion!

Little White and the speedboat disappeared in front of more than twenty j.a.panese officers!

They were suddenly distraught. Guns were fired, but there was no target in sight!

The patrol boats were about eight meters high. Ling Yun's jump brought him more than ten meters above the sea. He pointed huge needles at five officers on the deck while he was hovering in the air. Ling Yun then activated the Shower of Flowers Technique!

How could non-pract.i.tioners measure up to Ling Yun? All five of them were hit. Two of them were blinded in both eyes, while the rest of them were shot in their arms and thighs. They abandoned their guns and fell to the floor, screaming in pain!

Fresh blood seeped onto the deck!

"Huaxia's sovereignty is not to be taken lightly! I'll teach you that today! Die!"

Ling Yun jumped casually onto another patrol boat with six survivors.

"Oh my G.o.d, this person knows black magic!"

"No, he is a pract.i.tioner of the ancient Huaxia martial arts!"

"Fire!"

"Dadadada…"

There was another burst of gunshots as they fired at Ling Yun. There were multiple Ling Yuns to them, as his Dragon Fish Phantom Ability created residual images. They were confused.

Ling Yun then activated the Stellar Condensation Technique, his murderous intent clearly felt by everyone present!

He didn't want to waste the Flying Needles on these people, so he stomped them one by one. Their rib cages cracked, and they were kicked into the sea.

Ling Yun was ruthless and decisive. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, his expression cold and frosty.

He savored every moment and took his time with the killing.

Having said that, he used less than two minutes to kill all thirty-four of them.

The sea was now stained with blood.

"Instructor Zhang, I heard a gunshot…"

Nine nautical miles away, three Huaxia surveillance boats floated thirty meters apart from each other, their bows facing Turtle Island.

A marine policeman named Lee was reporting to Instructor Zhang on the largest surveillance boat.

"I heard it as well, there wasn't just one shot. I think that guy must be done for…"

Another marine policeman continued, frowning as he stared in the direction of Turtle Island.

Instructor Zhang's brows were knitted tightly. He wasn't deaf. Moreover, the southeast wind was blowing tonight. The sea breeze had brought the sounds to his ears.

"It's too late even if we head there now. Besides, the higher-ups disallowed it…"

Anxiety flashed through Instructor Zhang's eyes. He pointed his finger above him, signaling the satellite on top of them!

Lee was worried. "Instructor Zhang, no matter what, that person is our Huaxia comrade. Moreover, he is a patriot. How can we just leave him like that?"

"Instructor Zhang, as the saying goes, a general in the field is not bound by the orders from his sovereign. Look, that fis.h.i.+ng boat has been quietly approaching them and is now less than five nautical miles away from Turtle Island…"

Instructor Zhang fidgeted with his head, still unable to make up his mind.

Another burst of gunfire sounded. Instructor Zhang looked up, excited. "That's not right!"

"What happened?" Lee, the young marine policeman asked.

"Think about it, eight patrol boats dealing with a small speedboat. Why do they need to use a gun on a single person?" Instructor Zhang's eyes sparkled as he a.n.a.lyzed the situation.

"Moreover, he would have been killed in three shots tops, why is there a need to fire so many shots?"

Experience counted, allowed Instructor Zhang to get to the crux of the problem immediately.

That made sense. "Instructor Zhang, what do you mean?" Lee asked further.

"Those j.a.panese must have encountered great trouble! They might even have suffered a huge loss!" Instructor Zhang deduced.

"Who dares to drive a speedboat alone to Turtle Island on a night with such turbulent waves?"

The marine policemen became animated after listening to Instructor Zhang's a.n.a.lysis. "Instructor Zhang, what should we do now then?" Lee asked.

"Charge towards Turtle Island. The j.a.panese opened fire first. We have to get to the bottom of this!"

"Yes, Sir!"

Right now, the six patrol boats became a living h.e.l.l on earth. All the males were thrown into the sea as fish food, while the women were restrained.

They might be j.a.panese, but Ling Yun didn't have the heart to kill them.

Ling Yun was in the c.o.c.kpit of Patrol Boat 472. "Which of you understands Chinese?" Ling Yun asked the two terror-stricken ladies he had restrained.

They shook their heads. Obviously, they didn't understand.

Ling Yun gave it some thought and repeated the question in English. "Do you understand English?"

Much to his surprise, both of them nodded. One of them even asked him fearfully in fluent English, "W-what do you want?"

"Nothing much, you…" He pointed at the girl to the left with the bigger chest. "Teach me how to operate this patrol boat," Ling Yun said with a das.h.i.+ng smile.

The patrol boat was too huge. It was more than sixty meters long, ten meters wide, and had a displacement of more than a thousand tons. Ling Yun had never operated anything of such size.

Then, he pointed to the taller one. "You, establish comms directly with your commander. Ask him if he wants to continue fighting or to surrender immediately!"

"I have the final say in this territory! Do you understand?" Ling Yun declared deeply.

Ling Yun secretly thanked Kong Xiuru and Long Wu. Learning English wasn't a waste! It seemed like he had to learn some j.a.panese when he returned.

Unexpectedly, the big-breasted j.a.panese woman shook her head defiantly.

Ling Yun was somewhat depressed but also secretly impressed at her guts.

How could a nation become strong? It could become strong only when everyone's hearts were united as one.

"Forget it, I wanted to learn purely for fun." Ling Yun shrugged without a care in the world.

Nozaki Yuji was on the floor of the cabin of Patrol Boat 478. Visibly shaken, his eyes were vacant and he was repeating over and over in j.a.panese, "Devil, he is a devil…"

It was the most painful and horrible ten minutes in Nozaki Yuji's life. He nearly went insane!

"Captain Nozaki, that person is currently on Patrol Boat 472 and is demanding our immediate surrender. What should we do?" an equally spooked subordinate, whose face was as white as a sheet, asked Nozaki Yuji.

"What should we do? Six patrol boats with more than a hundred outstanding naval officers have been destroyed. We must avenge them!" Nozaki Yuji muttered

"Mr. Tanaka, this is too grave a matter. Please report the situation immediately to our Maritime Self-Defense Force. Ask them to send reinforcements as soon as they can!"

Complete madness overtook Nozaki Yuji. He jumped up and shouted abruptly, saying, "We still have Patrol Boats 478 and 477. We have torpedoes and missiles, so we are going to sink Patrol Boat 472!"

"But Captain Nozaki, there are still seven or eight females on board. What about them?" Tanaka asked, stunned.

"They are soldiers of the Great j.a.panese Empire. They are loyal to our cause and our emperor. We can only sacrifice their lives to deal with the devil!" Nozaki Yuji replied with a cruel madness.

Tanaka thought of another point. He barely dared to whisper, "But I'm sure the gunshots must have been heard by the Huaxia surveillance boats. Won't we trigger a war between our countries if we were to use torpedoes and missiles?"

"I'm not belittling them, but what will they do other than condemn and protest? Don't worry!" Nozaki Yuji said indifferently.

Tanaka listened in silence. "Hai 1!"

Nozaki Yuji came to the command room, his blood-shot eyes that of a madman. There, he issued an order to launch the missiles at Patrol Boat 472!

It was a conventional missile loaded with ordinary explosives. At such a distance, only one missile would be needed to blow up the patrol boat!

Nozaki Yuji wanted to be absolutely sure that Ling Yun would perish, so he fired two missiles!

At that very moment, Ling Yun was waiting leisurely for Nozaki Yuji's reply in the c.o.c.kpit of Patrol Boat 472. All of a sudden, his heart suddenly tightened with an impending sense of danger!
