Eight F22 fighter jets roared through the sky at high speeds, the moisture in the air condensing into a sonic boom cloud around their wings.
They never came within 50 kilometers of Lu Yao, only skirting around and launching missiles to harass.
Lu Yao was about to use his flying sword to settle these flies when he suddenly remembered—the Pipa Charm hadn't seen action for a long time. It was a good opportunity to warm up, to avoid being flustered when facing a strong enemy.
He immediately spat out the Pipa Charm, glowing with radiant light, and held it in his hand.
It was at that moment that Lu Yao sensed a threat rapidly approaching from below!
Looking down on the boundless sea below him, the missile tubes of a Burke-class destroyer opened one by one.
Billowing smoke and flames erupted as four "Standard-2" hypersonic missiles soared into the air, whistling towards Lu Yao's position.
