Chapter 173: Sand Crossbow Water Sword_2

However, before the creature made its move, Black Cat suddenly paused and whispered, "Something else is coming."

Pei Ye stopped in his tracks, channeling True Qi into his sword, and indeed, the next moment he sensed a message through the water.

Right above and behind them, an extremely swift current was rapidly approaching, with pushed waters already rippling toward him; he slowly stepped behind a rock, attempting to conceal his presence... but with just that subtle motion, the current abruptly came to a halt.

Then, a gaze suddenly bore down on him, and Pei Ye looked up to see in the distant darkness, two dark yellow pupils staring straight at this spot.

In the next instant, a piercing cold sharpness broke through the water at an unprecedented speed—something Pei Ye had never seen in the water before, not even Chen Renzhong two months ago could match it.

It streaked past his side, a fleeting chill leaving a deep gash on Pei Ye's flank.

Like a ghost in the water.
