Guarding the River of Time
Chapter 536 - 526: Jiang Bai, Sparks Ignite a Prairie Fire!
The man standing in front of him, with a delicate face, even looked a bit young, dressed in a long white robe.
He had a tall figure, holding a white fan, with a hint of a smile as he looked at Fang Yuan.
After stopping Fang Yuan’s small boat, the young man in the white robe put away his folding fan, smiled, clasped his fists and said, "You’re Fang Yuan, right?"
The voice of the young man in the white robe was slightly hoarse, resonating in Fang Yuan’s mind, making his entire body’s blood and energy surge.
So strong!
This young man in the white robe was several times stronger than Lu Chen, totally not on the same level!
Fang Yuan maintained his composure, frowned and asked, "And you are?"
Upon hearing this, the young man in the white robe paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sorry, I almost forgot to introduce myself."
"I am Jiang Bai, and I am here to kill you."
As the words fell, Fang Yuan’s heart sank; he did not expect the enemy to chase him to the River of Time.
It seemed the secret he held was indeed very important.
Otherwise, the enemy would not take such a huge risk to intercept him on the River of Time.
Could this young man in the white robe be the person behind Lu Chen?!
"What a hassle."
"Those few useless guys couldn’t even handle a small task, making me come all this way. I don’t know what the adults were thinking, letting some incompetents handle it."
"Truly incapable of doing anything right but capable of spoiling things."
The young man in the white robe muttered to himself, completely ignoring Fang Yuan in front of him, as if, in his eyes, Fang Yuan was already a corpse.
"I’m very curious, how did you do it?"
The young man in the white robe looked at Fang Yuan with a smile, his hands behind his back, with a playful gaze, like examining a small mouse.
With just a wave of his hand, he could kill Fang Yuan.
In his eyes, Fang Yuan was no different from an insect on the ground, merely a matter of stamping his foot.
He was just curious how Fang Yuan erased the memories of Lu Chen and the others, even startling the adults, making them personally deduce and finally pinpoint the River of Time.
Because the River of Time was sealed, the adults were watching the River Guardian all the time, it shouldn’t be possible to extend their reach that far.
Therefore... with Fang Yuan’s weak cultivation, how did he manage it?
If it hadn’t been for the two adults deducing simultaneously, finding that Fang Yuan ran to the River of Time, he would have successfully delivered the intelligence, ruining major plans.
Fang Yuan did not answer, activating his cultivation technique, directly facing Jiang Bai.
Seeing this, Jiang Bai shrugged and said, "Fine, no matter if you say it or not, you’ll die anyway, I was just curious."
"Time is running out."
Having said that, Jiang Bai slowly raised his right hand, the Law Seal gathered in his palm, and he grasped at the void aimed at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan only felt that all the blood in his body had solidified, unable to breathe, spiritual power halted.
The disparity was so great he had no chance to make a move.
"In the next life, be smart, don’t stand in the wrong team."
After speaking, Jiang Bai’s hand tightened.
As his body was about to shatter, Fang Yuan closed his eyes, his heart without fear of death, only regret.
Profound regret.
Regret that even though he gave everything, he still couldn’t assist the seniors at all...
Indeed, he really couldn’t do it...
Even having come this far, he still failed...
He no longer had the Spring and Autumn Cicada, if killed, he would truly vanish into dust.
Even having the Spring and Autumn Cicada wouldn’t help.
Because this place was the River of Time, not just an ordinary world, the Spring and Autumn Cicada couldn’t reverse the River of Time...
Crack—
Just at the moment Fang Yuan was about to be obliterated, a sword hum accompanied by the sound of bones fracturing resounded, waves rippling on the water surface of the River of Time.
Jiang Bai’s face turned pale as he stared at his severed arm, stunned on the spot.
He slowly looked up and saw a man in an Immortal Robe standing on the water’s surface, calmly watching the two of them.
Fang Yuan did not meet death, he opened his eyes, and upon seeing the senior in the instant, no matter how he suppressed, he couldn’t calm the storm in his heart.
...
After seeing the newcomer, Jiang Bai showed terror, instinctively wanting to escape.
But he found the water surface beneath him frozen, and it solidified up to his waist along his legs, fixing him in place, unable to move.
He looked at the man in the Immortal Robe with a face full of fear, his voice trembling, "Why... why are you so fast?!"
Jiang Bai was internally shaking.
To successfully intercept Fang Yuan, the two adults found a way to stall Su Mu.
According to the plan, they could at least stall for ten breaths.
And it had only been less than three breaths?!
"You mean them?"
Upon speaking, Su Mu waved a big hand, tossing out three blood-soaked heads.
Seeing these three heads, Jiang Bai’s pupils suddenly shrank.
These three heads belonged to Lu Chen, Yuan Yun, and An Daoshan!
....
Just a few breaths ago, when Su Mu was about to clock out and go home.
He suddenly noticed a collapse in the water area ahead, and when he went to check it out.
A pitch-black gigantic cauldron appeared out of the collapsing water, shrouding him within.
In the space within the gigantic cauldron, suddenly appeared Lu Chen, Yuan Yun, and An Daoshan, burning their entire essence blood, launching an attack on Su Mu, using all their cards with no reserve, just to delay Su Mu as long as possible.
From being trapped in the cauldron’s space to breaking out, it took a total of three breaths.
Killing the trio of Lu Chen took just one breath, breaking the cauldron took two breaths.
Then discovering an anomaly in a certain part of the River of Time, he instantly arrived here.
In total, it only took three breaths.
...
What shocked Jiang Bai was not the death of Lu Chen and the others.
In his view, with Lu Chen’s trio’s cultivation power, they couldn’t have stalled for that long, expecting them to last for two breaths was already overestimating them.
What shocked him was, didn’t the adults use that Magical Treasure to set up the situation?
No matter how remarkable that River Guardian was, it couldn’t be that within three breaths they killed Lu Chen and the others, and also broke that cauldron??
The internal space of that cauldron could temporarily isolate all laws, including the Time Law.
In other words, that River Guardian broke it through raw power without relying on the River of Time, and in such a brief time!
What kind of power is this??
Jiang Bai’s mind went blank.
"Speak up." Su Mu stood with his hands behind, staring at Jiang Bai, smiling as he said.
He manipulated the river, solidifying all the meridians in Jiang Bai’s body to prevent him from committing suicide.
Having captured a valuable living target, Su Mu naturally wanted to extract some useful information.
Hearing Su Mu’s words, Jiang Bai came back to his senses, with overwhelming fear surging in his heart.
At this moment, he realized that he might not be able to escape.
"Speak what?" Jiang Bai looked directly at Su Mu, trying to keep his tone calm.
"Speak of everything you know." Su Mu said calmly.
