Bang!

At the moment Vivian and Liu Ma were knocked back by Tiandao's Shui Mo barrier.

The visual style of the drama has undergone a huge change in an instant.

With Tiandao as the center of the circle, the camera of the drama began to rotate around Tiandao as if being pulled by an invisible thread.

This passionate battle of Protagonist Group was forcibly shaped into a wonderful atmosphere similar to a "stage play".

In the picture, Chen Kong and three others formed a triangle, surrounding each other.

Liu Ma's golden fists are wrapped in the strong wind that tears the air, and each punch has a heavy feeling that shakes the earth.

Vivian's silver-white rapier turned into a stream of light, and the sharp sound of the sword tip cutting through the air almost solidified.

The pitch-black bullets of Chen Kong broke the sound barrier, trailing a faint white smoke, and hit Tiandao's vitals one by one.

It was obviously the first time for the three of them to join forces, but they showed a tacit understanding between each other like precision gears, perfectly covering all the trajectories that Tiandao could dodge.

But in the face of such an attack, Tiandao's figure seemed to be performing an elegant solo dance.

He didn't even move much. He turned his wrist lightly, and the Shattered Star Sword wrapped in ink drew smooth sword lights.

Soon, Liu Ma's golden fist was easily deflected by the ink-colored sword.

Vivian Silver-white rapier brushed against Tiandao's moon-white captain's uniform every time, without any damage.

As for Chen Kong's bullets, they were always shot away accurately by his sword.

In addition, there was the crisp sound of weapons clashing, the muffled sound of fists falling, and the soft sound of bullets falling to the ground.

They all accurately followed the beat of the background piano music.

Just when the piano music in the background music of the drama ended on a high note.

The background music that originally belonged to Protagonist Group seems to have become the exclusive music to set off 'Shui Mo'.

Became depressed and oppressive.

At the same time, the sword of 'Shui Mo' not only became faster and faster, but also became heavier and heavier.

So much so that Liu Ma and Vivian, who could barely withstand the attack of Tiandao before, are now unable to withstand it.

Perhaps it is to reflect the situation of Protagonist Group at this time.

The original low background piano music slowly came to the finale amidst a low reverberation.

Bang!

When the last piano note disappears.

Tiandao in the screen finally stopped defending.

The Shattered Star in his hand dragged out a long Shui Mo colored trail.

Yu Bi moved among the dragons and snakes, and successively killed Liu Ma, Vivian, and Chen Kong in the distance.

Liu Ma's body was like a kite with its string broken, and it crashed through the wall.

And in the crash of gravel and dust, he was completely engulfed.

'Minute Hand Longsword', which Vivian had already switched to, plunged deeply into the ground.

After plowing a long ravine in the ground with her body, she finally got stuck between the broken steel bars and stopped.

Chen Kong, after being swept away by the black air wave, stumbled and fell into a mountain of debris, unable to get up for a long time.

Look at Protagonist Group being wiped out with just one strike.

The barrage was silent.

They thought that the unity of Protagonist Group could defeat the big devil 'Shui Mo' and swallow the bitter fruit of failure, just like what was shown in countless dramas.

But the reality is as cold as ice.

Because Chen Kong and others can't even say they defeated 'Shui Mo'.

Their struggle only delayed the inevitable despair for a few minutes, nothing more.

Looking at the few people who were unable to make a comeback, Tiandao didn't have the arrogance of victory on his face, but only calm recognition.

"Your strength is indeed good. If the person here today is not me, but another captain Branch, then you still have a good chance of winning."

Tiandao paused, put away Shattered Star, and said calmly, "After all, there is also a big gap between the team captains."

"Although I am the captain of Fifth Squad, in terms of true strength, I should be among the top three among all the captains of Steam Capital. It is not a shame to lose to me."

Tiandao's words were not showing off at all, just like stating an established fact.

After finishing speaking, he walked to Vivian, raised his hand and threw out several Shui Mo ropes, and tied him up.

Under such circumstances, Vivian, who was already injured and had new injuries, naturally no longer had the ability to resist, and could only let the other party carry him on his shoulders.

Tiandao looked at Liu Ma and Chen Kong in the corner who were looking at him unhappily.

After sighing, he said, "According to the Association's rules, those who dare to take action against Star Envoy can be regarded as a provocation to the Association's authority, regardless of life or death."

"But rules are dead and people are alive. I understand your determination to save your companions and recognize your efforts for this."

"So I'll just ignore today's offense, Danika."

"Arrived!"

Danika jumped down from the chair like a nimble little beast, quickly ran to Tiandao and stood upright, with seriousness written all over his little face.

"Change part of today's mission record, leaving only the words "I took away the wanted criminal Vivian".

"Yes!"

Danika took out a notepad with starlight patterns from his schoolbag and whispered a few words into the notebook.

Soon, all the words on the notebook page came to life, and in the end only that concise record remained.

"Mr. Shui Mo, I'm done!"

"Well, good job. I'll reward you with a few packs of snacks later."

"Hey hey hey"

After comforting Little Danika, Tiandao turned to look at Chen Kong and others and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to restore your companion's innocence within the scope of my ability, but it's hard to say what the outcome will be."

"Because of this storm sweeping Steam Capital, even I, the squad leader, can't guarantee that I can survive alone."

As soon as he finished speaking, he carried Vivian on his shoulders and turned around to leave with the bouncing Danika.

During this process, Liu Ma and Chen Kong struggled to get up several times.

But the severe pain in their bodies made them unable to move their fingers, and they could only watch the gentle figure disappear at the end of their field of vision.

A strong sense of powerlessness instantly overwhelmed the two of them like a tide.

At the same time, this powerlessness also made them put away their original arrogance as Starborn.

After all, before today, the two Starborn relied on the advantages brought by 'Dual Star'.

Not only did they effortlessly crush Star Envoy who was the same age as them, but they also defeated many enemies who were higher level than them by leapfrogging multiple levels many times.

So that they gradually developed arrogance.

I feel that only other people who are also Starborn are qualified to be their opponents.

But today, Captain Shui Mo, Fifth Squad, told them with cold reality.

Starborn does have great potential and is very special.

But not everyone can fully unleash their potential as Starborn like Tiandao and Chen Xing, and perfectly integrate the powers of 'Star Core' and 'Star Source'.

"You brat, you didn't listen when I asked you to practice hard in the club. Now you know it hurts, right?"
