BOOM!
With a world-shaking roar, the already damaged Flying Boat was caught in a pillar of light shooting toward the sky. It exploded in a brilliant flash, utterly annihilated.
In its wake, several figures leaped from the seabed, chasing after the fleeting flash of Chu Mu's blade.
"Wangcai."
Chu Mu called out in a low voice. As he released the power restraining Wangcai, his right hand made a grasping motion, and a Flaming Blade formed in an instant. Mid-flight, he abruptly spun around and stopped short.
"ROAR!"
Wangcai let out a roar, the gentleness in its eyes vanishing instantly. Its metallic sheen gleamed brightly under the blazing sun. With perfect coordination, it stopped on the sea's surface not far from Chu Mu, its savage demon eyes locked onto the several approaching figures.
"An inland Cultivator?"
The leader seemed somewhat surprised. As he spoke, the two men behind him moved to flank Chu Mu, tacitly cutting off his escape route.
