Chapter 293: Lingering like a shadow

The two women’s icy, merciless gazes pierced through the two holes in their skull masks, fixed intently on Fang Bai and Ye Wumei. The foot-long daggers they gripped tightly in their hands drew two streaks of white light through the air, attacking both Ye Wumei and Fang Bai separately.Ye Wumei, having just narrowly escaped death under the sudden assault of the darts, saw the two attackers approaching and, in her irritation, clenched her fist, ready to confront them. However, Fang Bai stepped in her way.

"You’re no match for them, find somewhere safe to hide!"

Fang Bai whispered sharply and, without waiting for Ye Wumei to respond, he flickered and faced the two approaching women.

Based on the women’s attire, their method of attack, and the fact that they had targeted him and Ye Wumei, Fang Bai surmised they were very likely members of "Wrathful Beauties."

Furthermore, both women possessed the strength of Profound Level Martial Artists, which made them even stronger than the four "Wrathful Beauties" assassins who had lost their lives at the hands of Fang Bai. With Ye Wumei’s current mid-tier Yellow Level strength, going against them would surely be suicidal.

Therefore, even though Fang Bai knew he was extremely weak at the moment and that facing two opponents was fraught with danger, he resolutely went to meet the challenge.

With his current strength, Fang Bai might not be able to defeat even one Profound Level Martial Artist, but with his rich combat experience from a previous life, he managed to firmly pin down the two women with his agile and exquisite movement technique and his unpredictable attacks, preventing them from getting away to attack Ye Wumei.

As the three of them tumbled and fought fiercely, each collision of fists and kicks emitted a "bang bang" echoing sound, and it seemed as though the space around them was slightly rippling. The traffic police handling the aftermath of the accident and the officials from several other government departments were all shocked beyond words.

This was a scene they had only seen in movies and TV dramas, yet now it was unfolding before their eyes, far exceeding their understanding.

Fang Bai dodged the palm strike of one woman and curved his right hand into a claw, reaching out like lightning towards her left arm.

The woman couldn’t avoid it in time, and Fang Bai’s fingers tore a piece off her sleeve, exposing a large patch of skin.

"So it is ’Wrathful Beauties’ again; you really are persistent!"

Seeing the tattoo of a woman with long hair holding aloft a flame on the exposed left arm of the woman, Fang Bai confirmed his earlier guess and couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

The two women had donned skull masks to hide their identities and were furious and embarrassed now that Fang Bai had seen through them. Chilly frost seemed to form over the two faces behind the masks, and their eyes filled with even greater murderous intent.

Fang Bai felt the surge of killing Qi from the two women and, fearing they would lash out at the innocent bystanders in a fit of rage, potentially causing numerous casualties, circulated his cultivation technique and frantically stimulated his body’s potential. With a flurry of punches, he managed to drive the two women away from the highway and towards the nearby gully.

"Did you deliberately cause this accident?"

In the midst of the fight, Fang Bai suddenly asked, his gaze like sharp arrows meeting the eyes of the two women, as if he wanted to see through their eyes into their innermost thoughts.

The timing of the appearance of the two "Wrathful Beauties" assassins was too coincidental. Fang Bai had overheard a few traffic officers discussing how the driver of the truck that collided with the bus on the wrong side of the road had disappeared before the police had arrived at the scene of the accident.

These suspicious signs led Fang Bai to doubt the simplicity of the car accident; he considered it highly likely that the "Wrathful Beauties" had deliberately staged the accident to ambush him and Ye Wumei.

If that were the case, it meant that "Wrathful Beauties" had thoroughly studied his character and knew that he wouldn’t turn a blind eye to a traffic accident. They aimed to use the victims to deplete his strength and then strike him when he was vulnerable, intending to kill him in one fell swoop.

And if Fang Bai were to die, the fate that awaited Ye Wumei was not hard to imagine.

This truly was a venomous scheme!

Thinking about how "Wrathful Beauties" treated human life as nothing, willing to use the lives of dozens of innocent passengers as bait to kill him and Ye Wumei, a towering killing intent suddenly surged within Fang Bai’s chest, feeling an urgent sense to eradicate the organization "Wrathful Beauties" for the first time.

"So what if we did? You’ve killed several of our sisters, and this time the two of us will avenge them!"

One of the women spoke sharply, her dagger slicing and thrusting in a continuous assault; Fang Bai had several close calls, nearly being wounded by the blade.

"Your True Yuan is about to be depleted, now you fight like a trapped beast! If you’re willing to surrender, we can grant you a swift death!"

The other woman said with a cold laugh, as if Fang Bai was already meat on the chopping block, ready for them to slaughter at will.

"Murdering the innocent, you deserve to die!" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet

Fang Bai’s eyes flashed coldly, his aura suddenly surged again, and he let out a loud shout.

With this shout, he used the "Lion’s Roar Sonic Wave" from the "Dragon-Tiger-Lion-Elephant Technique"; the space in front of him seemed to ripple under the impact of the sonic wave strike.

The two women were enveloped by the sonic wave unleashed by Fang Bai, and caught off guard, their eardrums buzzed as if they were about to burst, and their heads spun with dizziness for a moment.

"Die!"

At the moment the two women were dizzy, Fang Bai circulated the True Yuan within his body, stepped with "Divine Elephant Eight Desolate Steps," and instantly appeared before the women. His left and right fists, accompanied by the sound of a tiger’s roar and thunder, slammed into the women.

The power of these two "Tiger Roar Thunder Fist" punches, although not comparable to his peak condition, should not be underestimated.

After being struck by his punches, the women’s bodies flew back as if hit by a thousand-pound hammer, crashing seven or eight meters away and tumbling into the ravine behind them.

The ravine was more than a hundred zhang deep, and Fang Bai’s punches had shattered the women’s internal organs. Even with ten lives, they had no chance of survival.

When Fang Bai had forced the two women out of the highway, Ye Wumei also leapt over the highway railing and stood not far away, anxiously watching.

Seeing Fang Bai knock the two women into the ravine, Ye Wumei couldn’t help but let out a cheer, rushing forward, on her tiptoes, she threw her arms around Fang Bai’s neck tightly.

"I just knew it, you could definitely beat them... You’re the best..."

Ye Wumei’s cheek pressed against Fang Bai’s chest, murmuring softly, her arms wrapped tightly around him, as if she wished she could meld her entire self into his body.

"I say... superstar, could you not hug me so tightly? You’re squeezing me so much I’m running out of breath..."

With the warmth and softness of a beautiful woman thrown into his arms, Fang Bai felt no sense of romance, but instead he said softly with a wry smile.
