Chapter 720: Chapter 720

Yu Meiying had been closely watching Fang Bai’s every move, and as soon as Fang Bai made a move, so did she.

Gliding across the ground, her figure surged forward, instantly closing the distance between them, and then her long sword swept out diagonally, aiming to chop towards Fang Bai’s shoulder.

As a Heaven Level Martial Artist, Yu Meiying’s timing in her attack was impeccable, coinciding precisely with the moment Fang Bai had expelled two spheres of water and was momentarily weakened between the old strength and the rising new strength.

At that time, Fang Bai’s defense was also at its weakest; a moment of carelessness could result in injury from the long sword.

With a thought, Fang Bai activated the "Water Element Art" cultivation technique, gathering the abundant Water Element Qi from around him to form a visible curtain of water right before Yu Meiying’s descending sword.

When the long sword chopped onto the water screen, it was as if it had struck a thick sponge; the unmatched sharpness and force of the blow were completely dissolved. Not to mention harming Fang Bai, the sword didn’t even touch his clothes.

"This young man can actually control Water Element Qi at will! He must have a cultivation technique related to this!"

Yu Meiying was taken aback, wondering how this young man from the secular world not only knew the art of forging Spiritual Artifacts but also cultivated a technique to control Water Element Qi. These skills existed only in legends; where did he learn them?

Could it be that he discovered the cultivation dwelling of some past master?

With this thought, Yu Meiying’s heart raced with greed, her desire to capture Fang Bai intensifying.

As a Heaven Level Martial Artist, when Yu Meiying’s move was foiled, she remained unfazed. While maintaining the downward slicing motion of her right hand with the long sword, her left arm rose high, transforming her palm into a blade, and viciously chopped towards Fang Bai’s neck.

If this Palm Blade struck true, Fang Bai would faint on the spot.

Fang Bai’s voice burst forth like the roar of spring thunder, shouting loudly as he raised his right arm, his index finger slightly bent, flicking upward, directly connecting with Yu Meiying’s descending palm.

As his finger flicked out, a streak of purple light flashed in his pupils, and a faint current of electricity entwined around his fingertip, accompanied by the distant rumble of thunder.

The technique Fang Bai was channeling within him was the "Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Mantra." Using such a Thunder Technique on a rainy day magnified its power far beyond the usual.

He focused all the thunder and lightning Qi around him into one point at his fingertip, then flicked it outwards. In that instant, the potent thunder and electric energy exploded with astonishing force.

Yu Meiying felt as if struck by lightning, with countless currents rampaging through her body like thousands of needles piercing simultaneously, destroying her meridians and blood vessels, the intense pain causing her to scream involuntarily.

She was sent flying by the force of the lightning, landing in the water meters away, creating a grand splash.

Fang Bai’s full-powered strike severely injured Yu Meiying, causing her to faint on the spot.

After falling into the water, Yu Meiying’s body bobbed up and down momentarily before soon losing all breath completely.

The Sect Leader of the Yunnv Sect, a primary level Heaven Level Martial Artist, was killed by Fang Bai in a single move. Had Zhuo Lanfeng and Ren Lijun witnessed this scene, they would have been scared out of their wits.

However, Zhuo Lanfeng and Ren Lijun would no longer be able to see it anymore.

They had intended to injure Baili Zhan and his wife before taking control of them to threaten Fang Bai. However, they hadn’t expected that the water spheres produced by Fang Bai’s Water Element Qi would come flying in midair towards them.

The power gap between Earth Level Martial Artists and Heaven Level Martial Artists might not quite be said to be as vast as the heavens and the earth, but it was almost so. The two water orbs released by Fang Bai were as menacing as a strike from a Heaven Level Martial Artist; how could Zhuo Lanfeng and Ren Lijun, two Earth Level Martial Artists, possibly contend with them?

The water orbs flew at high speed, a surprise attack that left Zhuo Lanfeng and Ren Lijun, who were distracted attacking Baili Zhan and his wife, completely unprepared. By the time they realized the danger and thought to dodge, it was already too late.

The two water orbs struck the heads of Zhuo Lanfeng and Ren Lijun simultaneously, emitting a sound like watermelons bursting, instantly blasting large bloody holes into their skulls.

They didn’t even have the chance to let out a pained cry before they were lifted off the ground by the force of the water orbs’ flight, falling into the water far away, dead beyond any doubt.

At this point, Yu Meiying, the Sect Leader of the Yunnv Sect, along with the two Great Elders, Zhuo Lanfeng and Ren Lijun, had been killed by Fang Bai almost in the time it took to breathe.

Baili Zhan and Jiang Yuzhi, husband and wife, stared in stunned silence at the scene before them, completely dumbfounded.

The rain grew heavier, the wind wilder, accompanied by frequent flashes of lightning and the roar of thunder. The sky would light up one moment, then plunge back into darkness the next, a scene akin to the end of days.

For Fang Bai, being in such adverse natural conditions incited no fear in him; in fact, he felt utterly thrilled.

As Fang Bai’s cultivation level improved, this raging wind and rampant lightning would become tools for him, powerful aids in overcoming his enemies.

"Brother Baili, Sister Jiang, let’s go!"

Fang Bai approached the dazed Baili Zhan and his wife, said with a smile, "Brother Yang and Mingyue are still waiting at the courtyard for our news. Let’s not keep them anxious!"

"Fang... Brother Fang, just like that... you killed them?"

Baili Zhan still couldn’t believe that the Sect Leader of the Yunnv Sect and the two Great Elders, who were so powerful that they had left him and his wife in despair, had been so easily dispatched by Fang Bai.

Fang Bai chuckled and replied, "They were mere clowns. Did you think it would take much effort to kill them?"

Baili Zhan pinched himself hard, finally snapping back to reality, and said with a bitter smile, "They might be clowns in your eyes, Brother Fang, but in the hidden world of Martial Artists, they were dominant powerhouses!"

Jiang Yuzhi looked at the three bodies bobbing in the water, sighed, and said, "With their deaths, the Yunnv Sect is headless. I fear that they’ll now decline... That’s for the best, though. The Yunnv Sect of today is no longer what it was at its founding. To let it continue would only mean more people would suffer..."

Now that their formidable enemies were dead, Baili Zhan felt relieved and took a deep breath, saying, "Yuzhi, we no longer have to worry about being hunted by the Yunnv Sect!"

Jiang Yuzhi answered, "We can only truly rest easy when Li Ao, the Valley Master of Ghost Doctor Valley, and several of the Elders are dead as well."

Fang Bai said, "You don’t need to worry about that. When I have the time, I’ll take a trip to the Hidden Sect and take care of the Yunnv Sect and Ghost Doctor Valley for you, completely removing those threats!"

The ease with which he dispatched a Heaven Level Martial Artist and two Earth Level Martial Artists at perfection showed the extent of Fang Bai’s strength. Thus, Baili Zhan and his wife had no more doubts about Fang Bai’s bold claim to eliminate the Yunnv Sect and Ghost Doctor Valley.

Jiang Yuzhi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually... there are still some good people in the Yunnv Sect and Ghost Doctor Valley..."

Fang Bai nodded with a smile and said, "Sister Jiang, I understand what you mean. Don’t worry, I can distinguish between those who deserve to die and those who don’t... Come, give me your hands, I’ll take you away from here!"
