The instant he saw Xumi, Wang Ba could hardly believe his eyes.
Yet before he could rejoice, he abruptly noticed that beneath the enormous curtain of swords, his Martial Uncle Xumi seemed somewhat disordered, abnormal.
"Martial Uncle, you..."
The armless figure swept his gaze over Wang Ba, a trace of surprise flashing through his eyes.
He seemed not to have expected to encounter Wang Ba here either.
But then something occurred to him, and he said coldly:
"Go."
Wang Ba froze.
Seeing this, Xumi frowned slightly and quickly urged him again:
"There is an enemy. I cannot easily escape."
"An enemy?!"
Alarmed, Wang Ba hurriedly looked around.
But all he saw was quiet seawater, with the raging currents of the Sea Barrier farther away.
There was not even a single Fierce Beast in sight.
Yet Wang Ba's heart only grew heavier.
The esteemed master of Heart Sword Peak had no reason to joke with him here. Besides, Martial Uncle Xumi was not that sort of person. For even him to say that escape would be difficult, the situation was clearly already extremely dangerous.
That Wang Ba had failed to discover the enemy could only mean that the other party was far too skilled for him to detect at all.
Of course, this was also because the surrounding Yuan Magnetic Power blocked Divine Sense.
So Wang Ba did not hesitate at all.
"Take care, Martial Uncle!"
As he spoke, he immediately tucked Qin Lingxiao under his arm, turned around, and swiftly swam downward.
Seeing Wang Ba act so decisively, even the habitually cold Xumi froze for an instant.
So... willing to listen?
Watching him swiftly swim downward, seemingly completely unaffected even by the Yuan Magnetic barrier the enemy had erected, Xumi felt surprised but also relieved.
