Chapter 44
Yu Sui pondered Mei Liangyu's response thoughtfully. While listening to lectures at the Medical School, she occasionally checked on the situation with the light core.
When leaving the Medical School in the afternoon, she unexpectedly encountered Wei Ren, who was also at the Medical School.
By the medicine fields, Wei Ren took the initiative to greet Yu Sui, forcing a smile onto his pale face: "Hey."
Yu Sui kept her hands tucked in her sleeves, walking slowly over, her gaze lightly glancing up: "You can come out and walk around now?"
"Just came to the Medical School to get some medicine." Wei Ren gave a slight smile, somewhat helplessly: "That should be allowed, right?"
Yu Sui asked him: "Have you thought of a new method?"
Wei Ren found himself under Yu Sui's stare. Those beautiful, moist almond eyes usually carried gentle smiles, and even when not smiling, still had a soft, tender quality, innocent or obedient, without any aggression.
At this moment, these unsmiling eyes were still beautiful, with extremely dark pupils reflecting Wei Ren's image, yet they seemed like a net hung with icy dew in the spring cold, trapping Wei Ren within, unable to move. Any movement would cause the icy, sharp threads to cut into his flesh with piercing pain.
Wei Ren was certain that absolutely no one else in this world had ever been regarded by Yu Sui with such a gaze.
This unique honor made him feel both amazed and helpless in his heart.
"Not yet. I need to recover first before having the strength and energy to think of more methods, right?" Wei Ren tried to reason with her, but saw Yu Sui turn her eyes away without mercy after hearing this.
"I'm serious. I need to recover before having the strength to help. Your Senior Brother, not to criticize him, but even though I've destroyed my own cultivation and my light core is severely damaged, he still won't give up using spirit stabilization on me, making me have nightmares and unable to sleep well." Wei Ren smiled without humor: "Too bad I won't satisfy his wishes. I just won't move out."
Yu Sui said disinterestedly: "You're quite persistent about such trivial matters."
Wei Ren took a deep breath: "Getting good sleep is not a trivial matter."
Perhaps if Mei Liangyu believed the most important thing in life was eating well, then Wei Ren believed the most important thing in life was sleeping well.
Yu Sui didn't care who won or lost in their dispute over the single dormitory. She turned back to look at Wei Ren, her eyes bright and lively, as if having some new idea, asking: "Agricultural School beast language is a unique skill. Even if you've destroyed your cultivation and dropped to First Realm, it shouldn't affect your ability to interpret beast language, right?"
Wei Ren nodded: "It doesn't affect it."
That was still somewhat useful.
Yu Sui rolled her eyes and held out her hand to Wei Ren: "Give me two Agricultural School transmission beasts."
"Don't use ones you've raised yourself either. They might be captured by others later."
Wei Ren looked at her soft, fair palm, then back at Yu Sui's face. When she said this, her tone was still gentle, her voice carrying the sweetness of a young girl without being cloying, but it perfectly concealed all the sharp thorns in her words.
No wonder so many people hadn't seen through Yu Sui.
She had been pretending too well since childhood. Perhaps sometimes it wasn't pretending, just that in different environments and situations, she would show the side most beneficial to herself.
Whatever expression or tone, they were all genuinely existing aspects of her.
"I can, but what are you planning to do?" Wei Ren asked.
Yu Sui slightly raised her chin: "You don't need to know."
Wei Ren advised her: "You don't need to always fight alone."
Yu Sui said crisply: "It's not your turn to interfere now anyway."
Wei Ren touched his beating heart, went to the Agricultural School to catch two red scorpions for Yu Sui, and spent some time teaching her how to use them.
……
By sunset, Yu Sui arrived at the academy gates. Blackbeard had already sent a carriage to pick her up, with Nangong family practitioner guards on her left and right, and several more hidden in the shadows.
The last Agricultural School ambush had caused serious psychological trauma for Blackbeard. Whenever he couldn't personally pick up Yu Sui, he would send no fewer than five guards to escort her.
Yu Sui looked out the carriage window at the sunset hanging over the sea, surrounded by large patches of magnificent fire clouds. As the waves moved, the rosy red reflected on the sea surface looked like a swaying sea of fire.
Today was the 15th, when stars avoid the moon. In the gradually dimming sky above, a bright lunar outline could faintly be seen.
On the road, Yu Sui watched the situation with Gu Qian's Five Elements Light Core:
This time Gu Qian brought Huo Xiao and Xiang Feifei, one from the Legalist School and one from the Yin-Yang School. Including himself with his dual cultivation of School of Names and Legalist School, this time dealing with Mei Liangyu, he should be using School of Names Nine Schools Arts.
The location was chosen in mountainous terrain far from the Outer City's bustle, surrounded by sandy ground with sparse green trees and several small hills for cover. At the end of the hills was shallow sea, where light blue seawater swallowed the sand, leaving a wet patch before retreating.
Though there weren't many green trees, there were plenty of grass clusters as tall as a person, with green and yellow leaves crisscrossing, looking unhealthy, hiding who knows what inside.
Gu Qian and his two companions stood in the shadow of a hill. Going further in would lead to the shallow beach.
All three wore black hooded robes, concealing their forms and gradually blending into the night.
Xiang Feifei asked: "How are preparations on Wei Kun's side?"
Gu Qian looked down at his Wind-Listening Ruler: "He's already coming. He just left the academy gates. Mei Liangyu's side will know, so we need to be fast."
Xiang Feifei pulled up her hood, the wide hat wrapping her entire small face, covering it completely: "The cloak can't fall off, or Shadow Swallow won't be able to provide cover. At least not until he's dead."
Huo Xiao held two thumb-length pieces of black mysterious wood, both carved with circles of red runes. These were Mechanism Arts School's Demon Sealing Pillars.
Within the barrier formed by any two Demon Sealing Pillars, the use of some Nine Schools Arts and Heavenly Mechanism Arts would be restricted.
Demon Sealing Pillars were quite luxurious and rare strategic treasures.
"Set up the Demon Sealing Array first," Gu Qian said to Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao threw the two pieces of black mysterious wood, one to the left, one to the right, encircling the hill and grass clusters in a diagonal line.
Gu Qian looked toward the sandy ground: "Seize the opportunity. Best to finish it in one go."
Yu Sui rested one hand on the carriage window, her sleeve sliding up to reveal her fair arm. Two red scorpions fell from her fingertips onto the mountainous terrain, heading toward Gu Qian and the others.
Second Level Soul Control allowed her to monitor Five Elements Light Cores on both sides simultaneously.
After observing Gu Qian's side setup, Yu Sui saw Mei Liangyu eating with Xing Chun and others, now receiving news of Wei Kun leaving the academy.
Mei Liangyu elegantly set down his chopsticks and stood up: "I'm going out for a bit."
"Where to?" Xing Chun looked up and asked.
Mei Liangyu: "To kill someone."
Xing Chun swallowed a mouthful of rice and turned to ask Zhongli Shan: "Wei Kun went out?"
Zhongli Shan also asked Mei Liangyu: "Should I come too?"
"No need." Mei Liangyu left alone.
"I'll go, I'll go!" Kong Yiyi slammed the table and stood up, but was pulled back down by Nian Qiuyan beside her who was playing with his Wind-Listening Ruler: "You shouldn't go either. Let Mei Mei handle it himself."
Kong Yiyi frowned: "He's let Wei Kun escape several times!"
"Not this time," Nian Qiuyan soothed gently. "It's their personal grudge. Let them settle it themselves."
Kong Yiyi glared at him: "It's not like Wei Kun hasn't screwed me over too!"
Nian Qiuyan put away his Wind-Listening Ruler, served her food and peeled shrimp shells, smiling: "Then letting Mei Mei get revenge isn't a loss either. You should eat well, drink well, and sleep well first. Aren't you cultivating Three Bodies recently? No need to disrupt your rhythm for a Wei Kun."
Only then did Kong Yiyi pick up her chopsticks again.
Mei Liangyu arrived at the academy gates. In front of the academy, people came and went. As someone passed by him, they slipped him an Agricultural School dragonfly that could track Wei Kun's trail.
The red dragonfly hovered in the air, covering a thousand li in an instant. Mei Liangyu followed closely behind using Wind-Riding Techniques.
Yu Sui, sitting in the carriage, rubbed her eyes. This speed was many times faster than that night when he sparred with her.
Just as Yu Sui entered the bustling Outer City, Mei Liangyu had also caught up to Wei Kun who was trying to enter the Outer City.
Wei Kun pretended he was going to enter the Outer City, encountering Mei Liangyu at the entrance where foot traffic was increasing. The marketplace was brightly lit with vendors calling out their wares, mixed with clanging sounds of craftsmen forging iron.
The red dragonfly stopped on a white stone archway. Mei Liangyu landed at the archway entrance using Wind-Riding Techniques and immediately spotted Wei Kun standing in front of the blacksmith's open workshop.
Wei Kun was tall and sturdy, built more like the solid strength of the Military School rather than the elegant ethereal form of the Yin-Yang School. He was constantly on guard, like a rat out stealing food, his narrow eyes sharp and alert, his expression wary.
The sound of the blacksmith's hammer brought heat to the nearly summer night. The moment Mei Liangyu locked onto him, Wei Kun alertly turned back. Seeing Mei Liangyu under the archway, his expression changed slightly. He cursed under his breath and immediately used Wind-Riding Techniques to flee.
The two began chasing through the night, stirring up Five Elements energy fluctuations wherever they passed.
Gu Qian by the shallow sea said quietly: "They're coming."
Wei Kun ran ahead, weaving through forests and paths. When falling into shadows, killing intent rose in his eyes, making his expression momentarily fierce. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Mei Liangyu who had been relentlessly pursuing him:
Initially at the Yin-Yang School, he just had some issues with Xing Chun. He couldn't stand how Xing Chun, despite not being ambitious, always gained the instructors' favor, so he would be sarcastic when they met and speak ill of Xing Chun privately.
Xing Chun didn't mind. He was indeed rather easygoing and didn't like conflicts with others. If it was about himself, he could tolerate it.
Mei Liangyu wasn't one to meddle in others' business, and his friends weren't weaklings who would just take abuse. Most of the time, they handled their own problems.
But later Wei Kun had ideas about Kong Yiyi and indeed liked her somewhat. However, Kong Yiyi didn't like him. Wei Kun felt he had a chance and kept appearing before Kong Yiyi to court her.
Xing Chun and Kong Yiyi were also dining companions, eating together during that period. Seeing this, Wei Kun became jealous and attacked Xing Chun several times during Yin-Yang School trials. Though Xing Chun managed to escape danger, Wei Kun was thoroughly despised by Kong Yiyi.
Wei Kun was called morally corrupt and a sinister villain by Kong Yiyi. After being beaten up by Kong Yiyi once, Wei Kun's love turned to hate. In his anger, he struck at Kong Yiyi, vowing to ruin her reputation and make her understand she wasn't worthy of him, forcing her to beg for his forgiveness.
Through various schemes, he ended up offending Xing Chun, Kong Yiyi, and their entire circle.
The reason Mei Liangyu targeted him was because Wei Kun wanted to eliminate a Yin-Yang School competitor. If this person died, no one would compete with him for the chance to learn Heaven Mechanism Arts inscription.
This Yin-Yang School disciple, Wan Jiang, happened to have received help from Mei Liangyu and greatly respected him. Wei Kun used Mei Liangyu's name to invite this disciple to the Outer City and took the opportunity to eliminate his competitor.
It was this incident that made Mei Liangyu murderous toward Wei Kun, a fight to the death.
This Wei Kun had some ability but poor character, petty and vengeful, yet with crude methods.
Since that night he killed Wan Jiang and nearly got killed by Mei Liangyu in the Outer City, Wei Kun had been terrified and had been hiding from Mei Liangyu for nearly a year.
Due to being demoted for murder, every time he tried to advance back to Grade A disciple, Mei Liangyu would find opportunities to block him. His cultivation stagnated, and even when encountering him in the academy, he might get beaten up by Mei Liangyu within the rules.
Anyway, Mei Liangyu didn't fear losing points, as he gained them back quickly.
Originally, at his killing rate, he should have dropped from Grade A to Grade B long ago, but after Mei Liangyu was deducted points, he could regain them within days.
Wei Kun couldn't understand how this guy managed to gain points so quickly. Could it be through Saint Chang Gen? The more he thought this way, the angrier Wei Kun became. He was just relying on having a good master. Without Saint Chang Gen backing him up, what was Mei Liangyu worth!
After hiding like a rat for so long, Wei Kun's hatred for Mei Liangyu had long surpassed that for Xing Chun, Kong Yiyi, and others.
So when Gu Qian approached him for cooperation, Wei Kun agreed without hesitation. Rather than struggle alone, better to cooperate with others. He desperately wanted to escape Mei Liangyu's shadow, but Mei Liangyu had cut off almost all his paths. With this rare opportunity presenting itself, Wei Kun would certainly grasp it tightly.
Tonight, all this would end!
Just as Wei Kun set this ambitious goal in his heart, he saw blue light flash brightly from the corner of his eye. Thunder rumbled heavily against his heart, making his pupils constrict.
Mei Liangyu's figure appeared behind Wei Kun in an instant, overwhelming pressure arriving with the covering shadow. Wei Kun quickly accelerated again, using almost all his Five Elements energy to power Wind-Riding Techniques and flee forward.
Watching this, Yu Sui felt that without Gu Qian and others' help, Wei Kun facing Mei Liangyu in single combat would be certain death.
He himself knew this clearly, which was why he had been avoiding Mei Liangyu.
Wei Kun used all his strength to lead Mei Liangyu to the location agreed upon with Gu Qian.
Blackbeard waited at the Outer City entrance. With people coming and going on the street, Yu Sui stepped out of the carriage and raised her hand to hold down her hair blown by the night wind, her gaze instinctively looking toward the shallow sea.
Her red scorpions were already waiting in the grass.
Thunder snakes descended from the sky, hissing as they pursued the fleeing Wei Kun. Each thunder snake that missed and hit the ground kicked up sand and rocks, creating charred craters.
Just as Wei Kun was about to lead his pursuer into the Demon Sealing Array, he was struck by a thunder snake and sent flying, losing weight in mid-air and crashing onto the hillside, rolling down against the mountain wall.
The hidden Gu Qian trio: "..."
Fortunately, after Mei Liangyu landed using Wind-Riding Techniques, he walked forward unhurriedly, exactly entering the Demon Sealing Array barrier range.
Blackbeard said to Yu Sui: "Princess, the shops you specified have all reserved goods and are waiting for your selection."
"Let's go." Yu Sui walked through the bustling street, chatting and laughing with Blackbeard while her separated second soul watched the changes through the light core.
She showed no signs of abnormality whatsoever.
Not until she noticed Gu Qian constantly gripping his Wind-Listening Ruler did she finally understand why he had chosen the 15th.
Wind-Listening Rulers normally only needed mastery of message squares for sending texts.
But for voice transmission, one needed to learn stellar positioning. Under Communication Courtyard restrictions, Wind-Listening Ruler voice transmission was only allowed on three days each month: the 1st, 15th, and last day.
……
Tonight was the 15th, with the full moon shining high.
There were no lamp posts or fireflies by the shallow sea, only cold moonlight forcing back the darkness.
Mei Liangyu wore deep blue fitted clothing, his features cold and clear. His upper body was in the tree shadows, adding shadow to his deep, handsome features, making him appear stern and deadly.
His hair tie was also somewhat deep blue, mixed among the thick black hair, dancing in the night wind. From a distance, this upright figure appeared as elegant as an immortal.
Wei Kun covered his chest and shakily stood up from the ground, looking viciously at Mei Liangyu and sneering coldly: "You really are like a lingering ghost."
Mei Liangyu slightly lifted his eyelids, glancing around from the corner of his eye, his tone playful: "And you truly are as timid as a rat."
He mocked: "Continue running?"
"Run? Why should I run? The one who'll be running next is you." Wei Kun's tone turned vicious as golden Five Elements energy gathered around him.
The surrounding night wind was also gathered by Wei Kun, blowing sand and pebbles on the ground, creating fine collision sounds. The night wind was like blades, cutting through branches and grass.
Wei Kun exhaled: "Shattering Wind."
Mei Liangyu's expression was indifferent. When several sharp whirlwinds combined and reached him, he also said: "Shattering Wind."
The moment the two whirlwinds collided, Wei Kun's form flickered as he took the initiative to attack, planning to first exhaust Mei Liangyu's Five Elements energy.
Yu Sui browsed through the most luxurious commercial building in the Outer City, chatting and laughing with the shopkeepers beside her while watching the distant battle by the shallow sea.
This was the first time she had seen Mei Liangyu in action.
Shattering Wind was just Eight Trigrams Life Techniques. It wasn't unusual for Wei Kun to know it.
Wei Kun used some Eight Trigrams Life Techniques to disturb his opponent's vision and hearing. When his preparations were complete, Wei Kun quickly formed hand seals while maintaining distance from Mei Liangyu.
Seven different blue-purple star lines appeared parallel behind Wei Kun, each representing a constellation position.
Yin-Yang School Nine Schools Arts: Black Tortoise Seven Constellations Star Array.
Seven star lines floated in the sky like a new heaven and earth. In this new realm, the Void constellation star line manifested and descended to earth, transforming into a snow-white giant python emanating thick white cold mist that came to Wei Kun's side.
This was the Void constellation star general that Wei Kun had summoned using Yin-Yang Arts.
The sandy ground was covered with thin frost. Mei Liangyu showed no panic. He raised his hand and seven blue-purple star lines similarly appeared in the sky, arranging the northern Black Tortoise star array.
"Void constellation." Following Mei Liangyu's low summoning call, another Void constellation star general transformed into a frost-white python and arrived on the ground.
The cold brought by the two frost-white pythons froze even the seawater rushing onto the beach into icicles.
Wei Kun said sarcastically: "Mei Liangyu, you wouldn't really have the Divine Mechanism Arts to copy Nine Schools Arts like others say, would you?"
Mei Liangyu walked forward nonchalantly: "Dead people should know."
Hah!
Wei Kun sneered coldly. Both attacked simultaneously, their speed comparable to flashing thunder snakes. Both had Five Elements energy protection, and when their fists met, their respective Void constellation star generals also took action.
Within moments, it was clear Wei Kun was at a disadvantage in his clash with Mei Liangyu. When his Five Elements energy protection was breached and his golden Five Elements energy was scattered by Mei Liangyu's punch, Wei Kun formed hand seals again: Void constellation: Stone Solidification!
Wei Kun's frost-white python responded to the call and turned back, its vertical pupils glowing golden as it gazed at Mei Liangyu, dispersing the Five Elements energy flowing around him.
Mei Liangyu turned back with slightly furrowed brows and said softly: "Void constellation: Stone Solidification."
His frost-white python swept its tail over, blocking in front of Mei Liangyu.
The Wind-Listening Ruler at Wei Kun's waist glowed faintly. He had been in voice communication with Gu Qian throughout. At this moment, a low male voice came through the Wind-Listening Ruler: "All Arts, Break."
Wind-Listening Ruler voice transmission left no traces in the data mountain, so without coincidentally monitoring someone's Wind-Listening Ruler, Yu Sui couldn't obtain voice message content from the data mountain.
Now Yu Sui heard Gu Qian's low voice, three simple words carrying enormous Five Elements energy, manifesting as a technique with authority high enough to instantly destroy others' Nine Schools Arts.
The frost-white python blocking Mei Liangyu's front shattered with a bang, breaking into countless ice flowers that dispersed between heaven and earth. Even the seven Black Tortoise star lines floating in the sky cracked and broke.
This shattering sound came suddenly, unexpected. Mei Liangyu merely raised his eyebrows slightly, while Wei Kun's frost-white python's gaze, at this moment, broke through his Five Elements energy protection.
The frost-white python's eyes gazed at Mei Liangyu, breaking through his Five Elements energy protection while also restricting his movement, temporarily freezing him.
The three hidden figures attacked simultaneously.
When Xiang Feifei rose from the grass, the ground illuminated by moonlight returned to darkness. Under the wide black robe, no one could see her hand seal gestures, yet she had already used the Yin-Yang School Heavenly Mechanism Arts: Shadow Swallow.
Darkness swallowed the ground and sky, creating a world of only black shadows. Others, even the frost-white python, merged into the darkness, leaving only Mei Liangyu still frozen in place.
In the thick ice, Mei Liangyu only moved his eyes, remaining calm and collected without any panic or fear.
This was exactly the quarter-hour when Saint Chang Gen couldn't be summoned.
Wei Kun, hidden in the darkness with killing intent in his eyes, gripped the curved blade in his hand. When the ice made fine cracking sounds, he struck. The blade was about to slice across Mei Liangyu's neck when golden thunder light flashed, illuminating Wei Kun's shocked face.
Taoist School Nine Schools Arts: Heavenly Gang Five Thunder.
Ice shards flew as Mei Liangyu grabbed the curved blade bare-handed, pressing against the sharp blade but remaining uninjured due to the Five Elements energy in his palm.
Mei Liangyu's dark eyes were full of darkness, yet the golden thunder's flash revealed Wei Kun's terrified face for an instant.
Damn it, just how many other schools' Nine Schools Arts did this guy know?!
Wei Kun was horrified, trying to retreat, but the golden thunder flickering beside Mei Liangyu struck him through the curved blade. Wei Kun's hastily gathered Five Elements energy protection was broken again, and he cried out in pain.
Mei Liangyu seized the curved blade and was about to attack again when Wei Kun's Wind-Listening Ruler transmitted a low sound: "Break."
The Heavenly Gang Five Thunder was broken again. Wei Kun's eyes flashed with vicious satisfaction as he released his grip and vanished into the darkness. Mei Liangyu reacted quickly, not dwelling on Wei Kun but turning to repel Xiang Feifei who had emerged from darkness to attack from behind.
Xiang Feifei merged back into darkness, alternating with Wei Kun to exhaust Mei Liangyu.
When Mei Liangyu used Taoist Heavenly Gang Five Thunder again, it was once more eliminated by Gu Qian's single word "break."
Yu Sui, standing at the commercial building window, raised her eyebrows with interest.
Below, people came and went as Blackbeard called for shopkeepers to load goods onto carriages. Yu Sui watched the distant battle, contemplating Gu Qian's abilities.
This wasn't Legalist School Nine Schools Arts, more like School of Names, but School of Names Nine Schools Arts didn't include techniques that could be manifested through Wind-Listening Ruler voice transmission.
Had he seen through the weakness of Mei Liangyu using other schools' Nine Schools Arts, or was this his own Nine Schools Arts ability?
After Mei Liangyu's Nine Schools Arts were broken several times, being eliminated just as they were cast, there were currently three figures in the Shadow Swallow: one was Wei Kun.
The second was very familiar with Shadow Swallow's rules.
The third, unlike the first two who frequently appeared and disappeared, sought opportunities for killing blows, striking decisively and ruthlessly.
Mei Liangyu had fought all three simultaneously, meaning the person eliminating his Nine Schools Arts was someone else.
There was a fourth person.
Yu Sui carefully observed Gu Qian's side. He was actually also within the Shadow Swallow range. In the massive dark space, only Mei Liangyu was excluded from the shadows, as if he were the brilliant full moon that darkness couldn't swallow.
And Gu Qian focused intently on Mei Liangyu's every move. It seemed that to eliminate Mei Liangyu's Nine Schools Arts, he couldn't participate in combat simultaneously.
Yu Sui noticed that several times when Gu Qian eliminated Mei Liangyu's Nine Schools Arts, he stirred up no Five Elements energy whatsoever.
Any Nine Schools Arts would cause Five Elements energy fluctuations. Gu Qian, using Wind-Listening Ruler voice transmission, could conceal this fact.
Conceal that he could use Divine Mechanism Arts that didn't require Five Elements energy.
When Yu Sui confirmed this was Divine Mechanism Arts, she pressed the Wind-Listening Ruler in her hand, her gaze sweeping over Mei Liangyu, whose Five Elements energy protection had once again been broken due to his Nine Schools Arts being consistently eliminated.
Mei Liangyu fighting three at once, though still holding steady, was injured considerably. Wei Kun had the heaviest killing intent and was easiest to sense.
Of the other two, one should be Shadow Swallow's master, thus moving freely.
The third hid their aura deepest, whether killing intent, battle intent, or Five Elements energy, all very difficult to detect.
Wei Kun charged ahead to attract Mei Liangyu while Xiang Feifei struck from behind again. The frost-white python's eyes flashed golden as it opened its scarlet mouth to bite at Mei Liangyu.
Mei Liangyu was heavily struck by the frost-white python, blood covering his shoulder. Flying frost shards cut his clothing like blades, slashing bloody marks and even severing part of his hair tie.
But he steadied himself, kicked Wei Kun flying, used Wind-Riding Techniques for an instant shadow step, and grabbed Xiang Feifei's sword-wielding hand, directly breaking it. But Xiang Feifei slipped away like a loach, vanishing into darkness.
Xiang Feifei covered her still-injured right hand, somewhat annoyed.
The next instant, golden light flashed again as Taoist divine thunder descended. Gu Qian opened his mouth: "Break!"
But Yu Sui had already cut the Wind-Listening Ruler connection with Wei Kun the moment he opened his mouth.
Gu Qian failed to stop this Nine Schools Arts. Huo Xiao, who trusted him, thus entered Mei Liangyu's golden thunder attack range and was heavily struck and sent flying by Mei Liangyu's casual golden thunder.
What happened?!
Gu Qian was greatly shocked, looking at his Wind-Listening Ruler in disbelief.
Yu Sui, standing at the commercial building window, tilted her head and smiled.
Xiang Feifei wanted to rescue Huo Xiao but was caught by Mei Liangyu seizing an opening. Golden thunder flickered, dispelling the darkness in the Shadow Swallow space and briefly illuminating the entire area.
Unable to escape using darkness, Mei Liangyu had already detected during the previous fighting that Xiang Feifei was Shadow Swallow's master. He shadow-stepped in pursuit. Xiang Feifei's path was blocked and she could only fight. Her dagger flashed silver-white, reflecting the man's cold eyes and brows.
Weren't you supposed to block his Nine Schools Arts?
Xiang Feifei was surprised something had gone wrong, her movements momentarily delayed. Mei Liangyu's speed was completely above hers. Caught by Mei Liangyu grabbing her attacking wrist again, Xiang Feifei couldn't escape this time. The instant her hand was broken, she bit her lip hard, immediately breaking into a cold sweat.
Light blue thunder snakes twisted into complex runes, crawling up Xiang Feifei's arm. Seeing this, her expression filled with horror.
Ghost Way School life symbol!
Due to the severe pain of her broken hand, sweat beaded and dripped from Xiang Feifei's chin. Mei Liangyu had no interest in even lifting her hood to see who this was. She would die anyway.
