From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

In that instant, an instinctive fear washed over him as he saw what seemed like an endless surge of murderous aura rolling towards him from behind Fang Ren.

"Cut it out, will you!"

The man in black was slightly angered by his own reaction and immediately lashed out a thorny vine towards Fang Ren's legs.

Crack—

Fang Ren reached out to grab the vine, pulled hard with both hands, and once again charged towards the man in black.

"You little punk!"

The man in black was truly enraged, unleashing all his True Qi, his fist gathering green True Qi as he bellowed, "Divine Wood Fall!"

Hum!

His fist solidified into a black piece of wood that he thrust towards Fang Ren's chest.

Boom—

A loud sound echoed as Fang Ren was struck to the ground and then hurled into the air, blood spraying from his mouth.

But the man in black stood there stunned, noticing that his own arm was now punctured by a bloody hole from Fang Ren's attack.

"Don't kill him! Just take me, take me! Don't kill him!" Bai Qi yelled out to the man in black.

This time, the man in black didn't linger; he couldn't afford to waste his life force like this. He immediately turned and grabbed Bai Qi, running towards the distance.

"Hey ha!"

Branches flew from atop little Qianye's head, but the man in black smartly blocked them with a Plant Wall Shield; he knew well enough that the little guy's branches could rebound, thus avoiding aggressive techniques.

"Come back here!"

Just when the man in black thought he could finally make his escape, a figure enveloped in red aura charged at him from behind.

He turned around, his whole person frozen in shock as he saw Fang Ren, covered in wounds but still approaching at his original speed, which he simply couldn't avoid in his current state.

Putting Bai Qi down, he erected another Plant Wall Shield in front of him.

Boom—

Undoubtedly, Fang Ren's fist once again smashed right through it, and seeing that his techniques were nearly exhausted, the man in black had no choice but to confront Fang Ren directly.

"Divine Wood Fall!"

Boom—

This time, before the man in black's fist could strike Fang Ren, he saw Fang Ren's foot cleave down from the air, smashing the man into the ground.

Crack, crack, crack—

The sounds of breaking bones continued to rise.

"How is this possible..."

Full of incredulity, the man in black immediately tried to rise and counterattack.

Fang Ren gave him no chance, pulling him up from the ground, a manic smile on his face, looking at him like a madman, "Ruoshui Realm mid-stage? Not so impressive after all!"

"..."

After locking eyes with Fang Ren, the man in black's pupils began to tremble uncontrollably.

Boom—

Fang Ren punched him in the chest, and the man in black flew backward like a kite with a broken string, breaking through two stone pillars before coming to a stop.

"Cough! Cough cough cough..."

Lying on the ground, the man in black coughed up blood continuously. Looking at Fang Ren, who kept closing in, panic surged within him; he had only intended to stop Fang Ren from chasing him, not expecting the latter to fight as if it was a matter of life and death!

Biting his teeth in desperation, the man in black erupted with True Qi to its limit, "Such carelessness! To think that someone at the peak of Intense Concentration would force me to use a life-shortening move just to survive!"

"Wood Patrol!"

Hum!

A huge tree trunk tore out of the earth, enveloping the man in black within and speeding off into the distance at an alarming rate.

The tree's speed was so fast that Fang Ren could barely move a meter before the tree had already surged forward twenty meters or more, fast as a rocket, lacking only a thruster.

Watching the man in black flee, Fang Ren's expression suddenly turned dull. He retracted the red aura into his body, and the surrounding bloodlust halted abruptly.

"Fang Ren, how are you!"

Bai Qi immediately ran over with little Qianye, looking at his blood-soaked figure with a worried face, panicking to the extreme.

"Little guy, quickly stop his bleeding! I'll take your master to the hospital! It's very close to here!"

As Bai Qi spoke, she tried to pick up Fang Ren and run towards the hospital, but her True Qi was completely depleted at the moment, and she was solely relying on the robust physique of a cultivator to hold on, which was utterly insufficient to move Fang Ren.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal."

Fang Ren waved his hand at her and grabbed little Qianye in his hands. Soon the little creature began emitting a red glow that enveloped his entire body.

"Hurry up!"

Bai Qi, seeing that he wouldn't let her carry him, turned around and tried to pull him, but her strength was like nothing in front of Fang Ren.

A few seconds later, the red glow from little Qianye dissipated, and the wound on Fang Ren's chest instantly healed, leaving his skin unblemished, although his clothes were torn and tattered.

"This..."

Bai Qi stared blankly at the scene, blinking her eyes: "Even such a severe injury can be healed instantly?"

She had seen it clearly just a moment ago: Fang Ren's chest had been sunken in, and it was evident that several bones had been broken, with flesh and blood blurred together, yet it had healed in just a few seconds?

Bai Qi was completely stunned; the healing ability of this little creature was outrageously strong!

"Who is this person? Someone from your family's enemies?" Fang Ren looked at the traces left by the man who had fled the tree trunk, frowning.

Bai Qi shook her head and replied, "I don't know, my Bai Family never makes enemies with other clans; we are wholeheartedly combating the Void. Besides, this person is only at the mid-stage of the Ruoshui Realm, my family could not possibly have offended someone so weak..."

"It seems like he only wanted to capture you, without any intention to kill." Fang Ren shook his head, looking at his torn clothes somewhat helplessly.

"By the way, how can you cultivate without a Spiritual Root?" Bai Qi asked, utterly puzzled.

"Oh, it just suddenly grew back," Fang Ren said offhandedly.

"Grew back?" Bai Qi was dumbfounded.

Everyone is born with only one Spiritual Root, and they have only one for their entire life, so how could it possibly regrow after being removed?

"That's too strange..." Bai Qi murmured to herself: "Additionally, it's unbelievable that you, at the peak of Intense Concentration, could defeat someone in the mid-stage of Ruoshui Realm... That's too impressive."

"No choice, I'm destined to be a legend."

Fang Ren said nonchalantly, as if joking, yet it felt like he was somewhat serious, leaving one unsure of what exactly he was thinking.

"..."

Bai Qi watched him and blinked, temporarily unable to refute this seemingly jesting remark, since back when she was at the peak of Intense Concentration, she could at most defeat practitioners at the peak of Yuanxin Realm. As for the Ruoshui Realm... that would be utterly impossible.

The gap spans nearly two entire realms; no amount of skill could bridge it.

"You should hurry home. If someone is targeting you out there, I won't be able to help," Fang Ren said.

After speaking, he picked up little Qianye and walked back, his clothes tattered, needing to head back and buy new ones.

Bai Qi watched his retreating back, sighed faintly, her gaze complicated as she murmured to herself, "I should be the one helping you, yet once again you've helped me..."

Shaking these thoughts from her head, she ran up to Fang Ren and earnestly expressed her gratitude, then not daring to linger any longer, she caught a taxi on the road and rushed to the airport.

Before long, Fang Ren had bought a new outfit and put it on. As he left, he happened to catch the bus to school and took it back to campus.

Meanwhile, at the site of Fang Ren's recent battle with the man in black, an elder dressed in a plain, traditional outfit descended to the ground.

The elder looked at the traces of the battle on the ground, a slight smile lifting the corners of his mouth as he murmured to himself, "Interesting, Young Master Fang from the Fang Family can regenerate his Spiritual Root, and within that root, there's a Spirit Form, and he managed to defeat someone at the mid-stage of the Ruoshui Realm while at the peak of Intense Concentration—truly shocking in every aspect."

Observing the marks left on the tree trunk by the escaping man in black, he frowned slightly: "The Nightfall Organization... Is that woman still unwilling to give up?"

The elder sighed deeply, then his figure turned into a streak of light and headed toward the nearby airport.

At that moment, in the airport waiting hall, Bai Qi was cautiously covering her face, overwhelmed by the recent events, and feeling frustrated and helpless.

Her, a peak Yingyue Realm expert, had almost been captured by someone just at the mid-stage of the Ruoshui Realm, which was like an ant dragging an elephant back home.

It was intolerable. She was determined that once she returned home, canceled the engagement, and regained her strength, she would capture that unscrupulous shop owner and force him to watch her eat rice noodles, then buy that mall and allow everyone in except for the woman who scolded her. Lastly, she would find out who was trying to capture her and certainly put him behind bars.

"Your Highness, the Princess."

As Bai Qi was visualizing her revenge, the voice of an elderly man echoed in her ear.

She immediately turned her head, only to see an old man in simple ancient attire bowing respectfully to her.

"The butler?" Bai Qi said, slightly startled upon seeing the old man: "Why are you here?"

The old man answered with a gentle smile, "Your Highness, the Princess, ever since you left Tianjiang, this old servant has been secretly following you."

"Were you there when I was captured just now?"

"Yes, I failed to intervene in time, and I hope Your Highness the Princess will not blame this old servant. I only wanted to assess Young Master Fang's character, but I didn't expect to witness so many of his secrets," the old man said.
