Its target was clear.
....Yue Lan.
Ting!
The sound of rippling water rang out.
Shui Ruo, who had been silently on guard the entire time, instantly stepped in front of Yue Lan.
Her movements were fast and decisive.
Without hesitation, she lowered her stance and thrust her arm forward.
The arm guard on her forearm glinted as spiritual energy surged outward.
A blue wave of qi formed in front of her fist.
This was the signature technique of the Waterflow Sect.
Their cultivators didn't rely on brute force.
They moved like flowing water as their technique is focusing on absorbing, redirecting, and countering an enemy's attack.
Soon, the blue wave before Shui Ruo's arm began to rotate, ready to divert the incoming strike.
But the moment the black lance touched the wave...
Krrr!!!
Something was wrong.
Shui Ruo's blue eyes widened.
"What ?!"
The instant the lance entered the blue wave, the pure water qi darkened.
