Chapter 718: Chapter 718: You Shouldn’t Have Come

The sky was pouring down with rain, and being close to the reservoir, the area was brimming with water element qi.

Fang Bai circulated the "Water Element Art," commanding the rainwater around him to form a thin watery shield that enveloped him entirely. Thus, throughout his journey, his clothes remained dry.

Fang Bai’s divine sense covered a radius of one kilometer and quickly detected the martial artist aura of Baili Zhan and his wife on a small island less than two miles from the lake shore.

At the same time, the conversation between Baili Zhan and Yu Meiying, the sect leader of Yunnv Sect, also reached his ears.

"You expect me to be unable to return after coming? Ha... Just a Heaven Level beginner and two at Earth Level Perfection think they can take my life? That’s quite the bold claim!"

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Fang Bai’s mouth, killing intent spreading in his chest as he stepped forward, walking on the surface of the reservoir’s water.

His feet treaded on water, striding forward without sinking into it, as if walking on solid ground.

If ordinary people saw this scene, they would surely be astounded.

Although Fang Bai was walking, each step he took covered five or six meters. His figure moved with fluid grace, his speed extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, the small island where Baili Zhan and the others were located faintly came into Fang Bai’s view.

At this time, Fang Bai was still several hundred meters away from the island.

If it were any other martial artist, having approached to this distance would already be sensed by Yu Meiying. However, Fang Bai not only was stronger than her, but he could also conceal his own aura, and with layers of rain curtains as cover, Yu Meiying was completely unaware of his nearby presence.

After surveying the island with his divine sense, Fang Bai took a deep breath and quickly sank into the water, gliding toward the island like a fish.

Fang Bai, with his strength, was completely confident in his ability to kill the three people, including Yu Meiying. However, to prevent them from harming Baili Zhan and his wife in desperation, Fang Bai decided to first launch a surprise attack to rescue them. After ensuring the couple’s safety, he would then confront the three Yunnv Sect members.

Dozens of breaths later, Fang Bai neared the island. Peering upward from under the water, he could already make out the silhouettes of five people on the island and even hear their breathing and heartbeat.

Yet, the five on the island were still none the wiser.

However, Yu Meiying, after all, was a Heaven Level martial artist, with perceptive instincts far beyond ordinary martial artists, and she could sense approaching danger. When Fang Bai drew near underwater, she vaguely felt an invisible and intangible killing qi pressing towards her.

The two Yunnv Sect elders, Zhuo Lanfeng and Ren Lijun, were significantly weaker and did not have this sensation.

"Sect Leader, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Yu Meiying sitting there seemingly restless and uneasy, Zhuo Lanfeng asked in surprise.

Yu Meiying’s eyes flashed with sharpness as she swept her gaze over the waters, showing a guarded expression, and she said with furrowed brows, "It’s strange... I keep feeling like someone is spying on us..."

Zhuo Lanfeng stood up and looked around nervously, "Could it be that Fang Bai has already reached nearby?"

Ren Lijun laughed, "Sect Leader, Elder Zhuo, aren’t you worrying too much? Even if Fang Bai has come, do the three of us really need to fear him?"

Yu Meiying spoke solemnly, "That Fang Bai might very well be a Heaven Level martial artist, we cannot underestimate him! If Fang Bai arrives and we can defeat him, good, but if he is too strong for the three of us, we’ll use the lives of Baili Zhan and Jiang Yuzhi as leverage to temporarily disengage and reconsider our strategy..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a sudden jolt of pain pierced through her mind as if a needle had viciously stabbed her, and immediately after, a momentary dizziness overwhelmed her.

"This is bad!"

Sensing a strong aura of killing intent locking onto her, Yu Meiying felt her hair stand on end, guessed that it was likely Fang Bai’s arrival, and while letting out an alarmed cry, she immediately turned around, a three-foot Green Peak Sword with a sharp edge appearing in her right hand, ready to counterattack.

Not only Yu Meiying was targeted by this killing intent, but Zhuo Lanfeng and Ren Lijun were as well, both gripping their Green Peak Swords tightly in their hands, turning around in preparation to face the enemy.

Boom——

Just as they turned around, a loud sound of water burst forth from the north side of the island, unleashing a wave several zhang high, countless splashes, mixed with the force of Water Element Qi, shooting towards Yu Meiying, Zhuo Lanfeng, and Ren Lijun on the island like a barrage of flying knives.

At the same time, a figure surged out from beneath the water, like a flood dragon emerging from the sea. After making a turn in mid-air, it lunged towards the island.

That figure’s target wasn’t Yu Meiying and the others, but rather Baili Zhan and his wife.

"He’s here to rescue them!"

Although Yu Meiying quickly realized what was happening, she had to focus entirely on counteracting the whistling water splashes assaulting her and had no time to be distracted.

Ding ding ding ding——

The sky-full of water sprays, striking against the sword screens formed by the rapid movements of the Green Peak Swords in Yu Meiying and her companions’ hands, produced a series of clear, sharp sounds.

Yu Meiying was powerful, and as she wielded her Green Peak Sword, twisting and turning, the water splashes were kept outside the sword screen, leaving her unharmed.

But Zhuo Lanfeng and Ren Lijun were not so fortunate; although they blocked most of the water splashes, some still pierced through the sword screen they had created with their swords, hitting their bodies.

The water splashes, sharp as knives, directly shattered their Protective True Essence, leaving wounds deep and shallow on their bodies.

In no time, the two Great Elders of the Yunnv Sect were covered in bloody wounds.

Although the knife-like water splashes didn’t claim their lives, they still suffered heavy injuries, greatly reducing their combat strength.

Without even exchanging blows, two Earth Level Perfection Martial Artists on her side had already been injured, which left Yu Meiying incredibly shocked and without any confidence in subduing Fang Bai.

The figure that burst out of the water was indeed Fang Bai.

By attacking with water splashes, Fang Bai forced Yu Meiying and the others to focus on saving themselves, while he went to protect Baili Zhan and his wife.

By the time Yu Meiying realized that Fang Bai’s target wasn’t the three of them but Baili Zhan and his wife, Fang Bai had already landed in the center of the island, guarding Baili Zhan and Jiang Yuzhi.

"Brother Baili, Sister Jiang, are you alright?"

Fang Bai slapped them both, one on each, sending a stream of True Yuan into their bodies, opening the sealed acupoints they had.

Although Baili Zhan and his wife were free, there was no joy on their faces, but rather a look of worry.

"Brother Fang, you... you shouldn’t have come!"

Baili Zhan suddenly stood up, stomping his foot as he spoke.

Despite the fact that Fang Bai had just appeared and already injured the two Elders of the Yunnv Sect, Zhuo Lanfeng and Ren Lijun, obtaining the upper hand, still, with Zhuo Lanfeng’s two remaining in combat and Yu Meiying completely unscathed, Baili Zhan was not entirely confident that Fang Bai could defeat all three of them.

Although the situation was three against three, Baili Zhan and his wife were well aware that not only could they not contribute in any way, but they would also end up being a drag on Fang Bai because he had to guard them.
