The rain did not weaken in the slightest, but the aircraft carrying the soldiers from the Qinling Mountains had no choice but to take off for Xiamen amid the fierce wind and heavy rain. The aircraft almost lost its balance while it was lifting off into the sky and heading for the stratosphere.

The military aircraft was capable of flying at a higher altitude, around fifteen thousand meters. However, one of the reasons why these tropical storms were so terrifying was because they could reach an altitude of almost ten thousand meters, which was pretty rare for a storm.

The black stormy clouds were currently around three thousand meters below the aircraft. It was absolutely terrifying to look down from the plane. Fear immediately arose from one’s deepest heart, sending chills down their spines and then their whole body.

The clouds resembled a bottomless black ocean, a great hole that was spinning slowly. Even though the aircraft and the storm were almost five thousand meters apart, the people still had a feeling that the tiny aircraft was being dragged into the storm. The slashing wind, roaring thunder, and ferocious rain had combined into the darkest and scariest nest of devils, and this thing was currently looming over a city along the shore!

Zhang Xiaohou went up to Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan and said with a stern face, “The plane won’t be able to land, we’ll have to jump!”

“You’re kidding me, we are fifteen thousand meters up!…” The expression on Bai Hongfei’s face, who happened to be tagging along, stiffened.

“The city is right below us, dropping from the sky is our only way to enter Xiamen,” Zhang Xiaohou went on.

The aircraft had no chance of descending through the storm; it would obviously be destroyed. It could only fly over Xiamen and drop them from a height the storm could not reach.

Everyone on the aircraft was prepared for a tough drop. There was no other choice!

“Someone might die if we are dropping from here,” Mo Fan glanced at the rest of the Battlemages in their military outfits.

Their cultivations were not particularly outstanding. If they happened to be caught by a fierce wind during the fall, they might not even land in one piece, let alone being able to land safely on the ground!

“There’s no other choice. It’s an order from the high command. I’ll jump first, the rest of you will follow me!” Zhang Xiaohou said. He was referring to the elite Mages he had brought with him.

“Affirmative!”

There were two troops on the plane. One was from the Qinling Division led by Zhang Xiaohou, and the other was from the Hongling Division, which was much larger in terms of men and material. They were also summoned to Xiamen, but their captain was someone different this time.

“Jump!”

“Jump!”

Zhang Xiaohou stood at the exit. He put on a pair of goggles and dove towards the sea of black clouds.

Mo Fan, Mu Bai, Bai Hongfei, Jiang Shaoxu, and Lingling jumped at the same time as Zhang Xiaohou, followed by the hundred elite Mages from the Qinling Division.

The soldiers of the Hongling Division dropped rapidly out the other side too. Over two hundred tiny dots were now scattered across the sky, diving rapidly into the sea of black clouds below.

Lingling was with Mo Fan, hugging Mo Fan tightly like a little octopus. It was obvious that she had never fallen from an altitude of ten thousand meters before. Many Mages would not be able to endure the pressure!

Fortunately, Mo Fan had the Earth Element. He cast a spell and summoned a layer of rock attached to himself and Lingling, reducing the pain caused by air resistance.

The raindrops were dense. Mo Fan and his crew were falling through a curtain of rain while surrounded by darkness. Their vision was extremely limited. For some reason, they had a feeling they were going to smash into the ground soon, as they were unable to maintain their balance while falling rapidly from the sky. They were worried that they might fall to their deaths in the next second!

To their relief, the clouds were not thick enough to cover all the way to the land below. Mo Fan noticed a tall building soaked in water when he was around a thousand meters from the ground. He had to look very closely to see the ground under the water from his current height!

“Has the whole city been flooded? Unbelievable!” Mo Fan blurted out in surprise.

He had been to Xiamen before. He remembered what the city looked like in the past, yet the storm seemed to have merged the city and the ocean. The streets were covered in water, either from the rain or the seawater that was now pouring into the city. The pavements, plazas, parks, and bridges were all submerged… even Venice was not this shocking!

“Pull the chute!” Lingling yelled above the strong wind.

Mo Fan finally realized he was supposed to pull the parachute, but he was a little too slow.

The speed he was falling at was already faster than the wind. He was only a thousand meters above the ground when he saw the city. He could easily cover the distance in the blink of an eye. He was only around four hundred meters above the ground when he collected his thoughts!

The chute opened. Mo Fan immediately felt a strong force almost snap his body in half.

The chute was falling quickly too. It obviously could not overcome the speed that Mo Fan was falling at…

Mo Fan had a bad feeling about it. He decisively used the Shadow Element to adjust his fall.

He went into the shadows, but was forced to reappear. He tried again, but the same thing happened because he was falling too quickly. Mo Fan hugged Lingling and dived into the water when he noticed he was almost at the ground.

Mo Fan climbed out of the water and carried Lingling onto the roof of a house, sneezing loudly.

The water just reached the window on the second floor, and looked like it was still going to rise further.

“Idiot!” Lingling glanced at her wet shirt and hair and snapped.

“It was a mistake, we were falling too quickly.” Mo Fan dried his shirt off with his flames before taking out a huge raincoat and wrapping it around Lingling’s petite figure.

“Where are the others?” Lingling hid inside the raincoat and put on a huge helmet. It felt like the huge raindrops beating down were going to crush her.

“They should have landed too, but they might land quite far from us, considering the height we jumped from,” Mo Fan said.

Lingling looked around them and noticed they were in a residential area. It was more like a village inside a city. The houses were only ten meters high on average, but water was flowing rapidly everywhere. The second floors were half submerged, only the balconies were still above the water. Many houses that had been built in a simpler manner had turned into debris floating on the water. Lingling also saw dead bodies and people calling for help. The dead bodies floating on the water had become their last straws to clutch at.

“It all happened too quickly,” Lingling murmured after observing everything around her.
