The woman in black was flanked by two women in their thirties, both dressed in tight black clothes and with figures and appearances that were above average.
Unlike the woman in the center, their expressions were serious, and their faces bore a coldness that seemed perpetually unmelting.
"If the Saintess fancies that Imperial Green Jade, we can delay the plan and snatch it first!"
The woman in black on the left said.
"I really do want to snatch it away!"
The woman in black in the middle seemed tempted, but she then waved her hand dismissively and said, "Forget it, any further delay might upset the employer and damage our reputation... Get ready to act!"
As she spoke, the target in the woman’s binoculars had shifted from Su Yifei to Fang Bai.
"Such a shame, such a handsome man, about to be turned to dust... Who told you to mess with the Wang Family? They’re willing to pay a billion for your head; it shows how much they hate you!
The woman in black muttered a few more words to herself as she looked through the binoculars at Fang Bai, who stood shoulder to shoulder with Su Yifei and Qin Shan. In her languid and somewhat devilish voice, a hint of regret could be heard."
At some point, the woman on the right produced a remote control, her finger already on the red button. With just a light press, the red sports car parked next to Fang Bai’s sedan would explode violently, leveling the entire parking lot.
"Alright, Brother Su, stop showing off, let’s go!"
On the parking lot, Qin Shan started urging Su Yifei to leave.
Qin Shan was eager to go back and scrape together the money to buy the Imperial Green Jade from Su Yifei, otherwise, he would feel uneasy.
What worried Qin Shan the most now was that if he couldn’t buy the jade stone in time, and someone else offered a higher price, that would be troublesome.
After all, his agreement with Su Yifei was just a verbal one, with no binding force, and Su Yifei, being a businessman, it was only natural for him to sell the jade to the highest bidder.
By then, it would have been all for nothing, a hollow joy for him.
Su Yifei knew what Qin Shan was thinking and laughed heartily, saying, "Old Qin, what are you afraid of? I said I’d sell it to you, so it will definitely be yours! I wouldn’t care even if someone offered twenty billion!"
Despite saying this, he still headed towards his SUV under Qin Shan’s urging.
Fang Bai strolled leisurely between Su Yifei and Qin Shan, his Divine Sense occasionally scanning the Spatial Ring on his left hand to admire the raw stone he had bought for one hundred and fifty thousand.
That watermelon-sized raw stone contained a fist-sized Space Stone within its core. Moreover, the purity of that Space Stone was very high. In the future, Fang Bai could use it to create several Space Rings, which would have a storage capacity several times larger than the Spatial Ring currently on his hand.
When he was still about ten meters away from his sedan, a strong sense of crisis suddenly washed over him, causing a slight pain to his Divine Sense.
Glancing at the red sports car parked to the left of his sedan, Fang Bai’s face turned pale, knowing that if his Divine Sense felt pain, something dangerous was about to happen and it was a threat to his life.
Fang Bai didn’t have time to think, he swiftly extended his hands and grabbed the collars of Su Yifei and Qin Shan. His True Yuan circulated wildly as he exerted all his strength to retreat backward using the Dragon Soaring to the Heavens Technique.
He knew that the intense threat that had pricked his Divine Sense came from that red sports car, and he wanted to get as far away as possible.
His cultivation level now was equivalent to that of a high-rank Earth Level martial artist in this world, yet his true combat strength could match a middle-rank Heaven Level martial artist. When he fully unleashed his movement technique, his speed was so fast that it was hard for people to believe.
To ordinary people, it was already difficult to see the three of them moving. Even the three black-clad women on the rooftop a kilometer away could only see a faint shadow zipping away at high speed.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Bai, along with Su Yifei and Qin Shan, retreated a hundred meters.
Almost at the same time they were retreating, the black-clad woman on the distant rooftop pressed the red button on her remote control.
With an earth-shattering explosion, a strong shockwave centered around the red sports car raged wildly in all directions. The vast parking lot was instantly filled with smoke and dust, and dozens of cars were completely destroyed, leaving only wreckage behind.
About a dozen pedestrians lingering near the parking lot were caught in the shockwave, resulting in heavy casualties and deaths.
Although Fang Bai and the others retreated quickly, the shockwave was faster, almost instantly engulfing them like a tidal wave.
Sensing the terrifying force of the shockwave rushing towards them, Fang Bai clenched his arms and roared as he threw Su Yifei and Qin Shan toward the large lake behind them, while he himself dove to the ground, his True Yuan enveloping his whole body.
With the immense strength of Fang Bai’s full effort, Su Yifei and Qin Shan, who were thrown by him, shot through the air like arrows for twenty to thirty meters and with a "thud" fell into the lake.
If they had been ordinary people, they would have passed out upon hitting the water, but as martial artists, Su Yifei and Qin Shan were not seriously harmed by the fall.
After the two emerged from the water, they quickly swam to the shore and stared at the chaotic scene at the parking lot with a stunned gaze.
Even now, their ears were still ringing, and they had not yet comprehended what had just happened.
At that moment, at the edge of the parking lot, a figure slowly stood up—who else could it be but Fang Bai?
Fang Bai was covered in dust, his hair disheveled, and his clothes were torn and in tatters. Although he appeared somewhat disheveled, there was no blood on him, suggesting he was unharmed.
Su Yifei and Qin Shan did not realize that Fang Bai possessed an extremely resilient body. He had just avoided disaster by shielding himself with True Yuan. If it had been either of them, they probably would have suffered severe injuries.
Both emerged from the water, their bodies dripping wet, and the wind that blew over them sent chills through their bones, causing them to shiver uncontrollably, which also brought them back to their senses. They immediately rushed to Fang Bai’s side.
"Brother, are you all right?"
Su Yifei asked with concern, then looked around sharply and said in a stern voice, "Who the hell did this? Is someone targeting us?"
"It’s certain that the explosion was man-made, and the target was definitely one of us three! Damn it, such a vicious tactic!"
Qin Shan spoke with a grave voice, his gaze as sharp as a knife, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
The massive explosion had almost leveled the entire parking lot and had also alarmed the tourists in the sports stadium.
Hundreds of tourists poured out of the sports stadium, and when they saw the wreckage on this side, they were all stupefied. For a moment, no one dared to come closer.
Fang Bai didn’t speak. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes squinting slightly, and his Divine Sense stretched out as far as possible, scouring the area within a thousand meters for any threatening auras.
Although he didn’t know who the explosion was targeting, the assailant had severely threatened his life. He would show no mercy if he discovered them!
