The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 552 [The Mysterious Base in the Mountains]

A cold gleam shot out, seemingly bringing a sky-shattering hurricane, striking fearfully at the Emperor of Night.

Caught between enemies, the Emperor of Night was likely to be bisected at the waist!

"Boom!"

A booming sound erupted, and a regal aura burst forth, an immense, ocean-like invisible current ceaselessly surged from within the Emperor of Night, enveloping him securely.

"Bang bang!"

The tall and short experts flew backward instantly the moment their blades touched the invisible aura, spewing trails of fresh blood from their mouths.

Chi Lian was completely stunned; the Emperor of Night was too powerful!

She felt a fear no less than what Ye Chenfeng gave her!

"Don’t think about escaping!"

At that moment, the people from Holy Knight Hall appeared again, they weren’t the Emperor of Night, who had the ability to keep up with Chi Lian, and now after a long search, they had finally found her.

"Here comes another bunch seeking death!"

The Emperor of Night scoffed coldly, then pressed something tiny in his hand, seemingly sending out some signal.

The next second, the momentum drastically changed.

"Rumble..."

A deafening, thunderous noise came, as if a bomb had exploded right next to their ears.

Suddenly, four armed helicopters appeared above the deck of the cruise ship!

"Dada dada..."

Without a second word, the machine guns mounted on the helicopters unleashed a furious barrage at the people from Holy Knight Hall. Moreover, the helicopter doors opened, revealing ropes. Soldiers dressed in black combat suits, equipped like the Emperor of Night, abseiled down. They were well-trained and immediately formed a triangular attack formation to start a fierce assault on Holy Knight Hall’s people.

The incident happened so suddenly that the masters of Holy Knight Hall didn’t even have time to prepare their moves before being hit by bullets.

"Retreat!"

Leaving behind several bodies, a few led by Dragon Knights hastily escaped, jumping into the sea.

"This time I’d like to see who can protect you!"

The Emperor of Night’s demeanor abruptly changed, exuding a domineering aura. A sky-high murderous intent filled the cramped space rapidly, making everyone feel as if the air was being sucked out, causing a momentary breathlessness.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, Chi Lian took the initiative. With a flick of her wrist, a Red Serpent Sword fell, bringing with her a sky-high murderous aura, rolling in like a tsunami, seemingly compressing the space!

"Pfft!"

The Emperor of Night had no time to dodge; the usually proud and arrogant man was caught off guard by Chi Lian’s unexpected attack.

The Red Serpent Sword pierced through the Emperor of Night’s shoulder, a burst of blood bloomed.

"Ahh..."

But in an instant, Chi Lian’s facial expression drastically changed. Close at hand, the Emperor of Night’s mouth suddenly curved into a cold smile, his eyes flashing brightly. With a fierce slap, Chi Lian’s body was flung away in an instant.

"Black Sun God? It seems I underestimated him, his followers were actually able to harm me!" The Emperor of Night scoffed continuously.

Approaching Chi Lian, the Emperor of Night began searching her body. Chi Lian could only watch helplessly, knowing that any resistance on her part would surely lead to her death.

"Huh? Why is it a deck of playing cards?" When the Emperor of Night pulled a deck of playing cards from Chi Lian, both of them were stunned.

"We’ve all been fooled, someone switched them!" Chi Lian suddenly realized.

The Emperor of Night’s face turned cold, and he exploded with a curse, "Damn it!"

"Chi Lian, right? I won’t kill you today. Go back and tell the Black Sun God that we have a score to settle, and I will find him sooner or later!" Having said that, the Emperor of Night kicked Chi Lian away.

"What should we do now, Second God?" a soldier asked.

The Emperor of Night glanced back and said coldly, "Retreat! The Holy Grail must have been taken by someone!"

Right after that, the Second God’s armed organization and the Emperor of Night disappeared, and four armed helicopters soon took off.

By then, the cruise ship auction hall had already been controlled by Interpol, and the forces of the Nanyang Soul Hiding family and others were nowhere to be seen.

"Dad, this Holy Grail actually attracted so many people to fight over it! It must be a miraculous item. If they hadn’t come to snatch it, it could have been ours!" inside a speedboat, Li Tianyuan couldn’t help but say.

Li Qiuming just smiled, "Even if those outsiders hadn’t come to snatch it, it wouldn’t have ended up in my hands."

Li Tianyuan’s eyes lit up, "Dad, do you mean it was one of our competitors bidding against us?"

"Exactly, you’re quite smart!" said Li Qiuming.

"Then who could it be? Could it be that the organizer, Nine Dragons Society, sent someone to bid against us?" asked Li Tianyuan curiously.

Li Qiuming shook his head, "Definitely not, everyone here has an extraordinary identity, and if they found out the Nine Dragons Society was faking, the consequences would be unbearable for them. Besides, in recent years, the Nine Dragons Society has been making money from stolen antiques from various museums and things from tombs, so if it wants to continue to survive, it certainly cannot be fraudulent. The one who bid against me must be someone else, and I guess it’s probably not a force from Divine Land or Macau, but likely from abroad!"

As Li Qiuming said this, a deep look flickered in his eyes.

Li Tianyuan nodded, "This auction is really complicated, even Interpol showed up. And that Demon King’s Kiss actually fetched such a price, it’s truly baffling."

"Tianyuan, at our level, we encounter things completely unlike ordinary people, even far beyond their understanding, you must be cautious in the future!" Li Qiuming advised.

"Yes, I will heed your teachings, Dad!" said Li Tianyuan.

...

On the armed helicopter, the Emperor of Night had removed his mask, revealing a flawless face akin to an Ancient Greek statue, seemingly radiating a unique glow.

As long as a man like him appeared, he was bound to be madly pursued by women.

"Who exactly took the Holy Grail?"

The Emperor of Night continuously replayed the scene from the auction in his mind, over and over.

Was it him?

Finally, in the replayed footage, he locked onto the figure of Leptoson Thompson.

In the recent melee, Leptoson Thompson was essentially the weakest character, barely managing to protect himself.

Such characters tend to be overlooked, and although the Emperor of Night was fighting, he was actually observing others, and Leptoson Thompson was the first one he overlooked.

"Who exactly are you?" the Emperor of Night murmured to himself.

"The great Second God has already landed, should we return to the temporary base?" the lead helicopter pilot requested.

"Return!"

said the Emperor of Night.

The four helicopters swiftly crossed, and half an hour later, they arrived at an unknown forest.

Landing in front of a cave in a clearing, surrounded by overgrown weeds and towering ancient trees that blocked the sun, it looked like a typical cave from the outside, but inside, it was drastically different, with a variety of modern machines standing and numerous large screens displaying waveform charts and real-time footage, leaving one astonished.
