A shadowy black figure swiftly flew towards Guo Jing, Wu Yue, Liu Shi, and Wang Ying.

His speed was incredible, and his entire body floated with a wave of Spiritual Breath.

With just one glance, Yang Tian recognized the face of this mysterious intruder.

His face was pale and bloodless, and his entire body was enveloped in a seemingly watery Spiritual Breath, making it appear extremely soft.

The man's feet were already deformed, with his five toes joined together, resembling fish fins.

"Is this the so-called Water Demon?"

Yang Tian's eyes flickered with a trace of doubt.

Although this intruder was fast, in Yang Tian's eyes, he was just a Martial Artist.

Yang Tian's figure flickered and appeared before the man. He pressed lightly, pinning the man's head in place.

With this hold, the man couldn't move at all.

He remained frozen in front of Yang Tian, looking at him in surprise: "Who are you?"

"That's a question I should be asking you!"

Yang Tian said, running his Spiritual Breath and slapping the man's head.

Bang!

A thunderous sound rang out.

The man fell from mid-air, green liquid oozing from his head; it was likely his blood.

The man lay on the ground, unable to rise, his eyes fixed on Yang Tian: "You're not welcome here, leave immediately!"

Yang Tian stood before the man, shook his head, and said, "Shiniang, is this what they call the Water Demon? Even Yingying and Shasha wouldn't fall into the hands of this garbage!"

Wu Zetian also landed in front of Yang Tian. She glanced at the man on the ground and nodded: "That's right, he is a Water Demon, but merely a low-ranked one. The Water Demons who captured Yingying and Shasha were much more terrifying!"

Hearing Wu Zetian's words, a fierce glint appeared in Yang Tian's eyes.

He stepped on the man's arm, breaking it.

Green blood sprayed out, and the man let out a howl of pain.

He glared at Yang Tian: "How dare you kill me? My king won't let you off!"

"Have your king come out then!"

Yang Tian said dismissively, running his Spiritual Breath and sending the man flying into the sea.

The man rolled on the sea surface, then vanished.

"Yang Tian, you were amazing!"

Guo Jing, Wu Yue, Liu Shi, and Wang Ying exchanged glances and raised their phones, indicating that they had recorded the entire encounter.

"Don't just play around; pay attention to your safety!"

Yang Tian glared at the four women, then extended his Divine Sense to track the man, soon tracing his Spiritual Breath deep into the sea.

In the water, the man moved effortlessly at high speed.

It seemed that the man indeed used the sea as a medium for his cultivation.

Yang Tian's Divine Sense followed him, soon reaching a halo. The man jumped into the halo and disappeared, while Yang Tian's Divine Sense penetrated it, discovering a dead silence.

"No wonder I couldn't sense Yingying and Shasha's Spirit Breath Wave. This is the Water Demons' lair?"

A fierce glint crossed Yang Tian's eyes. He retracted his Divine Sense, intending to call Wu Zetian and enter the sea. But at that moment, the villagers hiding within buildings poured out.

Soon, the villagers surrounded Yang Tian and his group.

"What's going on? It was dead silent just now, and now it's swarming with people!"

Guo Jing couldn't help but comment.

But the surrounding villagers were armed with knives and guns, looking fierce and ruthless, clearly not of good sort.

"You villains! You've offended the Water God, and they will come for revenge!"

An elder said excitedly.

Apparently, this elder was the village chief.

Yang Tian shook his head. He ran his Spiritual Breath, spreading it out, making all the villagers put down their weapons obediently. He said calmly, "They aren't any Water Gods or Water Demons, just some sea-dwelling Cultivators."

"Cultivators? Yang Tian, are you sure that man was human?"

Wang Ying couldn't help asking.

"These Martial Artists have been cultivating under the sea for thousands of years, adapting their Spiritual Breath into unique characteristics, which is quite normal."

Yang Tian said casually.

But the surrounding villagers became even more agitated at Yang Tian's words: "That's our Water God! You outsiders will cause our doom; they will come for revenge!"

"When they return, pick up your weapons and drive them away."

Yang Tian said nonchalantly.

"How could we be their match? You want us dead!"

The village chief pointed at Yang Tian, enraged: "Capture him, take him to the sea, and offer him to the Water God!"

"Yes!"

A chorus of fierce shouts arose as the villagers rushed forward.

Yang Tian shook his head and ran his Spiritual Breath, pressing it gently.

Bang!

A thunderous sound erupted, and Spiritual Breath swept outward, knocking all the villagers down in moments.

"A bunch of fools overestimating themselves."

Yang Tian sneered.

But at that moment, a panicked voice sounded: "Chief, something's wrong, there's trouble!"

Everyone turned to see a young man hurrying over, holding a woman in his arms.

The woman in the young man's arms was barely breathing, her once-beautiful face now pale and bloodless. Sharp objects were lodged firmly in her waist, having already pierced her organs.

Yang Tian extended his Divine Sense, discovering that the woman's soul was already gone.

The woman the young man brought back was just a body clinging to its last breath.

"Granddaughter..."

Seeing the woman, the village chief's face changed drastically.

The other villagers were saddened, each one casting a gloomy look at the woman.

"Chief, what happened to your granddaughter?"

Wu Yue couldn't help asking.

"Because of your arrival, the Saintess meant for the Water God was killed by the Water God!" The young man glared at Yang Tian: "Usually, when we offer the Saintess to the Water God, they return them alive. But because of you, they killed the Saintess this time!"

Saying this, the young man's face was livid with rage as he glared at Yang Tian.

The other villagers also glared at Yang Tian and his group in anger.

Yang Tian couldn't help but laugh: "You offer your village's most beautiful women to them for their pleasure periodically?"

"What do you know? This is the Water God's blessing and protection!" The village chief shouted: "If you hadn't come, my granddaughter would have returned alive!"
