Fang Bai said, taking out the water and wood needles from the Five Elements Acupuncture Set, piercing the center of Jiang Yuzhi’s forehead—her Sea of Consciousness—and below, her Qi Sea in the lower abdomen. Then, with both hands gripping the ends of the needles, he channeled two strands of True Yuan through them, slowly transferring them into Jiang Yuzhi’s body.
One strand of True Yuan, passing through the Wood Needle, carried a trace of the Wood Attribute, which could stimulate Jiang Yuzhi’s vitality to sustain her life.
Meanwhile, the other strand of True Yuan, after passing through the water needle, held the essence of the Water Attribute, capable of healing the internal organs of Jiang Yuzhi that had been corroded by the poison.
Both the Sea of Consciousness and the Qi Sea are crucial parts of a Martial Artist’s body; the True Yuan entering these places would rapidly travel through the meridians and blood vessels, reaching the entire body, and could achieve the fastest and best effect.
Baili Mingyue glanced back and forth between her father’s situation and her mother’s, her expression tense and worried, not daring to even take a deep breath.
The events of this evening had been too shocking for Baili Mingyue, who had not seen much of the world, overturning many of her understandings.
Baili Mingyue never imagined her father could be so formidable; covered in blood with a ferocious face, the butcher knife in his hand flipping and flying, his figure darting and dodging, his shouts and roars vibrant enough to make one’s eardrums buzz.
Each punch and kick he delivered carried a forceful wind, kicking up countless stones from the ground, striking fear into the hearts of onlookers.
And the two women fighting with her father, seemingly delicate in their flowing white clothes, also possessed the same terrifying power.
This was clearly the kind of master written about in legends, possessing immense strength and the ability to move at astonishing heights and speeds.
As for Fang Bai, with a wave of his hand, he made her mute and immobile; then just as easily, he restored her freedom, leading Baili Mingyue to believe he must also be a master.
Although Baili Mingyue did not understand why this night’s events had happened, she could guess that her parents had certainly been concealing something from her.
Now, Baili Mingyue wanted nothing more than to go back home, lock her room door, and ask her parents for the whole truth.
Jiang Yuzhi had been poisoned for over a decade, the toxicity deeply ingrained in her viscera and even her bones and blood. Even with Fang Bai’s divine medical skills, it would be difficult to heal her quickly; the best he could do was to awaken her from her comatose state.
In fact, in Jiang Yuzhi’s current condition, any hospital would likely deem her beyond recovery and treat her as a "vegetative" patient. Although Fang Bai had the ability to wake her, it would be extremely challenging.
After the water and wood needles from the Five Elements Acupuncture Set were inserted at Jiang Yuzhi’s major acupoints of the Sea of Consciousness and Qi Sea, Fang Bai continued to pour his True Yuan into her without interruption. In less than ten minutes, his forehead was already covered with a layer of fine sweat.
At the same time, the battle between Baili Zhan and the two "Yunnv Sect" disciples had also reached a fever pitch.
Baili Zhan grew increasingly brave and ferocious in battle, and in exchange for wounds all over his body from the swords, he had managed to inflict injuries on his opponents twice, adding a knife wound to each of the two "Yunnv Sect" disciples—and the wounds were not light.
Mo Ling and Mo Ming, the two sisters, appeared frustrated and furious, now realizing they had been tricked by Fang Bai.
When Fang Bai first appeared, he had put on a posture as if fighting desperately with Cuihun, claiming it was because Cuihun had taken his woman. This led to Mo Ling and Mo Ming choosing to stand aside, which ultimately cost them the chance to join forces against their enemy.
Otherwise, by now, Fang Bai would have been surrounded and slain by them, and the Baili family would have been executed, allowing them to complete their mission and leave.
But now, even though they realized Fang Bai had come to rescue Baili Zhan and his wife, it was too late.
Baili Zhan was fighting for his life with them, becoming more valiant and aggressive as the battle went on.
Although Fang Bai was not actively participating at the moment, the two women were certain that if Baili Zhan showed signs of defeat or was in critical danger, Fang Bai would not stand idly by.
With Baili Zhan, a master of equal realm, and Fang Bai, whose strength seemed even greater, it was uncertain whether the two sisters would gain any advantage.
That kid is just too cunning!
The more Mo Ling and Mo Ming, the two sisters who had been deceived by Fang Bai, thought about it, the more furious they became. Whenever they took a quick glance at where Fang Bai was, their teeth itched with hatred, and they wished they could charge over and stab Fang Bai to death with a sword.
Under their frustration and irritation, their strength invariably suffered, and before long, Mo Ming’s left arm was slashed by Baili Zhan’s pig-slaughtering knife, immediately bleeding profusely.
"Sister, let’s use the Butterfly Dance Sword Array!"
Seeing that her sister was badly injured, Mo Ling’s eyes turned cold, and, with a delicate shout, her swordsmanship changed dramatically, becoming more graceful and agile in movement.
As if telepathically linked, the two sisters coordinated flawlessly, no longer clashing head-on with Baili Zhan but instead circling around him ceaselessly, like a pair of white butterflies flitting playfully among flowers.
Their sword techniques, though not sharp and swift, were as dense as rain, continuous without end, and most often came in double strikes—left and right, front and back, or top and bottom—in a mysterious and unpredictable manner, making it hard to grasp.
Baili Zhan’s knife technique was broad and powerful, with an imposing presence. Although it could seize the initiative with its aggressiveness, it significantly consumed True Yuan. Against an opponent of equal or greater strength, it would quickly seem inadequate over time.
Mo Ling and Mo Ming’s swordplay was soft and unceasing, their movements unpredictable. Utilizing a mobile battle strategy to entangle with Baili Zhan, they made him feel quite uncomfortable.
It didn’t take long for Baili Zhan to feel his True Yuan waning, his knife’s force diminished, making him become anxious.
The tips of Mo Ling and Mo Ming’s long swords suddenly emitted green sword beams identical in color to the blades.
The sword beams, only a few inches long, exuded a chillingly sharp aura. As the blades rapidly thrust forward, the sound of the sword beams slicing through the air was like a venomous snake hissing.
The sisters seized a small opening in Baili Zhan’s defense when his True Yuan faltered and, with a delicate shout, thrust their swords forward, leaving slashes on Baili Zhan’s left arm and right leg respectively.
The wound on the left arm didn’t greatly affect Baili Zhan, but the one on his right leg was severe—almost piercing through the limb.
Baili Zhan grunted, his right leg buckled, and he knelt on one knee.
A cold light flashed in Mo Ling’s eyes as she swept her long sword horizontally towards Baili Zhan’s neck.
Her long sword, capable of cutting iron as if it were mud, coupled with the infusion of True Yuan, would decapitate Baili Zhan if his neck was struck.
A bellow, like a thunderclap on a clear day, suddenly exploded beside Mo Ling’s ear, causing her eardrums to ring and her mind to dizzily sway for a moment, her sword’s momentum involuntarily stalling.
Immediately after, several thin yet piercing strands of Qi attacked Mo Ling from the side.
If Mo Ling continued her strike, Baili Zhan would still be unable to escape, but Mo Ling herself would also be injured by the incoming Qi.
That guy made his move!
Without even looking, Mo Ling knew that the person who intervened must be Fang Bai.
