The countless life-threatening experiences of the past-life spy had sharpened Yue Jinghua’s nerves to the fineness of a needlepoint. She was very adept at seizing the moment, whether it was the time to escape or the time to strike at the enemy. Yue Jinghua, who lay in ambush, was like a black panther waiting for its prey, ready to move at any moment. Subconsciously, Yue Jinghua knew the best moment to strike had arrived. And now, in the split second of a flint spark, Yue Jinghua realized that her best opportunity to act had come. When the Sea Bat Eel was healing, it was also the time when its entire body was most off guard. Afflicted with a severe poison, it had failed to notice Yue Jinghua stealthily trailing behind. It was immersed in the healing effects of the Dark Energy Formation of the Undersea Windmill Workshop when suddenly, its sleek eel skin developed a layer of fine, spore-like bumps. Behind it, an abnormal ripple in the water approached rapidly. At the bottom of the deep sea three hundred fathoms deep, aside from the limited special species of Senluo Sea, there were few people who could easily approach the deep-sea zone. The Sea Bat Eel immediately realized that it was very likely one of those cunning and deceitful Dark Practitioners from the surface who had pursued it down here. New hatred superimposed on old, the Sea Bat Eel became furious. Just as it turned around preparing to swoop down to face the enemy, its mind was suddenly clouded, momentarily unable to determine the direction. In past battles, its talent always allowed it to quickly detect the location of its enemies nearby. Even the slightest wave could be accurately captured. But today, here in the deep sea three hundred fathoms down, the ripples it felt were not only from one direction. From all around, at least three or four water ripples were assailing it. It seemed as if enemies were launching stealth attacks from every direction. What was going on? This was the Senluo Sea which was permanently isolated from the several major planes. How could there be so many Otherworldly People rushing in over a short period? Pity that the Sea Batfish had no eyes, otherwise it would have witnessed an odd scene next to it. Yue Jinghua made a swift cut, executing the second move of Lianyun, Cloud Stacking. Cloud Stacking turned into several sword glows, pushing away the ripples, creating a small water route enclosure, crafting an illusion that the Sea Bat Eel was completely surrounded. The Sea Bat Eel also sensed imminent dangers nearby, and instinctively, "ga--" it opened its large mouth, emitting a cry like a baby’s from its throat, piercing to the human eardrum, sounding unbearably shrill. Yue Jinghua, as well as the sword glows she was wielding, were influenced, noticeably faltering. It was as if a flash of intense light swept through her mind, causing her consciousness to pause momentarily. The piercing cry penetrated the water surface, spreading continuously to the sea surface where the waters churned, clearly turbulent. Jue Shang, who had not seen Yue Jinghua for consecutive days, furrowed his handsome brows upon hearing the infantile cry, pondering darkly, "The Sea Bat Eel’s life-bound Dark Skill, Bat Demon Sound, could it be that little girl has sneaked to the sea bottom? But, why can’t I detect any trace of the Spiritual Imprint on the Nanhuang Ring? Hmph, it seems I’ve missed the opportunity to unlock the secret of the Undersea Windmill Workshop again." The Sea Bat Eel’s life-bound Dark Skill was also its life-ending blow; using it once would consume nearly half of its Dark Energy, and sea creatures would not easily use it unless absolutely necessary. Moreover, it was an extremely formidable double-attack technique that could target both a person’s internal organs and Spiritual Domain simultaneously. If an ordinary Dark Practitioner encountered it unexpectedly, they would surely fall to an ambush. That bold and ignorant girl, unaware of the Sea Bat Eel’s talent, was surely more likely to meet with misfortune than luck. Indeed, Yue Jinghua was not having an easy time. She had been holding her breath for a long while, and the invasion of the Demon Sound made her blood churn, hard to control. She quickly glanced around and suddenly spotted a sea snail on the ocean floor, which remained motionless and almost undisturbed by the shrill cries of the Sea Bat Eel. A thought struck her, and Yue Jinghua swiftly swam towards the snail. How could the Sea Bat Eel allow Jinghua to escape again? It endured the remaining toxins in its body and also swam in the direction of the snail. Below the sea, currents roared in the dark. Yet that snail, carrying red-brown beautiful patterns, remained still. Approaching it closely, Yue Jinghua reached into her bosom, drawing out a Black Death Crystal. Her eyes flashed with cunning as she unhesitatingly smashed the Black Death Crystal onto the snail. Without a moment’s hesitation, Yue Jinghua hid within Mo Xi’s Sea of Consciousness, leaving the mess she had created to the Sea Bat Eel that had just arrived. "Boom," within a mile of the deep-sea area, only the sound of an explosion was heard.
