"Boom!!"

Facing Jian Ruyan's powerful killing move, Francis felt no urge to resist and closed his eyes, awaiting death.

However, the Ice Dragon abruptly halted just three feet above Francis's head.

Then, with a flick of its tail, it suddenly turned around and launched an attack towards the battleship beneath him.

"Boom!!"

With a deafening roar, the entire battleship was destroyed by the Ice Dragon, shattered into countless pieces, and scattered in all directions!

Several massive columns of water shot up into the sky, causing the remaining dozens of battleships to almost capsize.

"Roar!!"

With another dragon roar, the Ice Dragon, having destroyed Francis's battleship, showed no sign of collapse and charged again towards the remaining dozen battleships in succession!

"Boom boom boom!!"

"Bang bang bang..."

In an instant, a dozen battleships were consecutively destroyed by the Ice Dragon, pieces flying everywhere, and the once-sturdy battleships wavered on the water before slowly overturning and sinking!

The enormous eruptions of water continued, battering towards the coastline, almost destroying the port!

"Stop."

Mu Jinyu softly commanded, causing the Heaven and Earth Laws to respond.

Immediately, although the sea still surged, it couldn't touch the front of the port, as if blocked by an invisible wall.

"Plop!"

"Plop!!"

"Plop..."

At this moment, the tens of thousands of Crusaders standing on the decks of those battleships thought they would perish with the sinking ships, despair filling their hearts. But suddenly, they realized they could move...

So, as the battleships completely sank to the sea floor, they hurriedly jumped out, like dumplings into boiling water, making continuous splashing sounds.

However, when they tried to use their Mysterious Origin to fly up, they discovered that while they could move, their cultivation seemed to have vanished, preventing them from leaping out of the water.

Though they survived the sinking of their ships, they were soaked in the icy seawater, shivering violently.

Fortunately, although their cultivation was sealed, their strong bodies in the Divinity Transformation Realm kept them from freezing to death.

"With such limited capabilities, you dare boastfully come on an Eastern Expedition? Get lost!"

Mu Jinyu stood on the port, looking down at the soaked, miserable Francis, immersed in freezing seawater, and sneered.

Earlier, he told Francis that if he could defeat Jian Ruyan, he would let them safely return.

But if not, apologies to Reinhardt, I'll spare you this once, but don't think you can leave with dignity, leave all your battleships behind, and swim back individually.

Jian Ruyan understood his intention, so after defeating Francis with three strikes, instead of killing him, she sank all the battleships.

Let them fall into the sea to clear their minds and avoid making foolish mistakes again!

"Pfft!"

Francis struggled out from underwater, spitting out a mouthful of seawater. He tried to use True Yuan to leave the water, but was shocked to discover his cultivation was gone.

Seeing his fellow Crusaders struggling and floundering on the surface like himself, a chill crept into Francis's heart.

"What kind of technique is this, that can seal our cultivation? I'm completely finished..."

Francis thought despairingly.

"Hurry up and leave!"

Jian Ruyan hovered in mid-air, sword in hand, and commanded coldly.

"Uh..."

Francis shivered from the cold and was startled awake by Jian Ruyan's impatient shout.

He knew that Jian Ruyan and Mu Jinyu, perhaps out of consideration for Reinhardt, spared his life. If he didn't leave, they might truly kill him.

So, despite his despair over losing his cultivation, Francis, preferring life over death, began to paddle away!

The tens of thousands of Crusaders in the water saw Francis's actions and struggled to swim along!

The water was truly too cold now!

If they didn't move, even with their strong bodies in the Divinity Transformation Realm, they would soon freeze to death!

As the Eastern Expedition Crusaders' battleships sank, and Francis and the Crusaders swam back in disgrace, viewers witnessing the live stream were thrilled!

"Wow, that's awesome!"

"Even though they weren't killed, making them swim back feels just as satisfying!"

"Yes, although the massive snow disaster has passed, the sea is still cold enough to freeze ordinary people. These strong individuals might end up crippled swimming back..."

"Long live the Dragon King! Amazing Little Sister Xiang..."

"I love Sister Jian so much; she's incredible, sinking a dozen battleships with a single strike. What kind of strength is that? It doesn't seem like Divinity Transformation Realm!"

"Let me educate you, Miss Jian Ruyan's cultivation is in the Fanxu Realm, a level higher than the Divinity Transformation Realm!"

"..."

In an instant, bullet screens and comments exploded, almost crashing the website's servers.

No live stream had ever been this earth-shattering.

The mighty Eastern Expedition Crusaders, intending to oppress them, had their ships sunk before even landing, forcing them to swim back. Such an event was sure to go viral, making today's headlines!

Mu Jinyu, unaware of the live stream's impact and uninterested in it, watched Francis's group arduously swimming away, their silhouettes gradually disappearing on the sea, then sneered and shook his head, saying, "Sent them off, we can go back now."

"Mm."

Beside him, Gu Xiyan and Wen Rou both responded, still unable to suppress their laughter as they watched the last of the Crusaders' figures.

"Whew..."

Then Jian Ruyan moved gracefully, lotus steps carrying her back to their side.

Observing Jian Ruyan's slightly relaxed expression, Mu Jinyu smiled and asked, "How about it, Little Yanzi, feeling less angry now?"

"Mm..." Jian Ruyan responded softly, then hesitated, saying, "Thank you."

She knew that dealing with Francis and the Eastern Expedition Crusaders would have been easier for Mu Jinyu. His intent in letting her handle it was to teach them a lesson and vent her anger.

After sinking the dozen battleships and seeing them forced to swim back, she indeed felt much better.

The frustration in her heart dissipated considerably.

Francis and his men, all with cultivation no lower than the Divinity Transformation Realm, shouldn't be unable to escape the water after their ships sank. Jian Ruyan knew for sure, it was Mu Jinyu's doing in secret...

And such handling indeed appeased her greatly.
