As the battle erupted, magic blasted scores of government soldiers off their feet, while Leng Mu and the others rapidly approached the cruise ship.
"Cover them! Hold off the government troops!"
Ai Jiangtu immediately gave the order, and the National Team members formed Star Maps to engage the government troops blocking their way.
Numerous members of the Red Ornament Guild leaped out as well. A San and the Island Country's National Team members also formed Star Maps, exchanging fierce attacks with the government troops and the Red Ornament Guild.
"Looks like you've had enough too."
Seeing Ai Jiangtu order them into battle without hesitation, Nan Jue smiled and teased him. Their captain had always favored caution before, so it was a rare sight to see him take the initiative.
"Since the local government troops have chosen to cooperate with bandits, they deserve to be put in their place. The ordinary people are innocent."
Ai Jiangtu's reasoning was simple: beat some sense into these people and make them realize just who they were cooperating with.
Meanwhile, aboard the ship, Mo Fan immediately merged with Little Flame Fairy and hurled a Heavenly Flame Funeral.
Rumble!
Hundreds of fireballs slammed into the cruise ship, instantly sinking it and crushing countless Red Ornament Guild members to death. Kaso, the guild's leader, rode a Wind Track up from the sinking vessel.
"A bunch of brats who don't know their limits! Do you really think shouting about bonds and friendship will let you beat me? Petrification!"
Kaso opened with advanced Earth Element magic. Petrifying light resembling yellow sand spread toward them, turning every spell in its path to stone.
Mo Fan and Xu Zhaoting retreated repeatedly, but Leng Mu showed no fear. He raised his right fist, wrapped in intensely compressed wind, and smashed it forward.
