Missing Thoughts Literature

Yu Sui pondered Mei Chengyu's answer. While listening to the lectures at the School of Medicine, she occasionally checked on the situation with the light cores.

When she left the School of Medicine in the afternoon, she unexpectedly ran into Wei Ren, who was also at the school.

By the medicinal fields, Wei Ren took the initiative to greet Yu Sui, forcing a smile onto his pale face. "Yo."

Yu Sui walked over slowly, her hands tucked into her sleeves, her gaze drifting upward. "You can walk around now?"

"I came to the School of Medicine to get some medicine," Wei Ren said, tugging at the corner of his mouth with a hint of helplessness. "Surely that's allowed, right?"

Yu Sui asked him, "Have you thought of a new method?"

Wei Ren was stared at by Yu Sui. Her beautiful watery apricot eyes, usually filled with a gentle smile, even without smiling, held a soft, tender quality, appearing innocent and docile, utterly devoid of aggression.

At this moment, her unsmiling eyes were still beautiful. Her extremely dark pupils reflected Wei Ren, but it felt like a net, adorned with ice dew in the spring cold, ensnaring Wei Ren, making him unable to move. Any movement would feel like sharp pain from ice-cold, sharp silk threads constricting his flesh.

Wei Ren was certain that no one in the world besides himself had ever been looked at by Yu Sui in such a manner.

This unique honor filled him with both awe and helplessness.

"Not yet. I need to recover first before I have the strength and spirit to think of more methods," Wei Ren tried to reason with her, only to see Yu Sui turn away unceremoniously after listening.

"I'm serious. I need to recover before I have the strength to help. Your Senior Martial Brother, I'm not trying to badmouth him, but even after I crippled my own cultivation and severely damaged my light core, he still wouldn't give up on trying to stabilize my Po, making me have nightmares and sleep poorly," Wei Ren said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "It's a shame I won't grant his wish. I won't move."

Yu Sui said with disinterest, "You're quite persistent about such trivial matters."

Wei Ren took a deep breath. "Getting a good night's sleep is hardly a trivial matter."

Perhaps Mei Chengyu believed the most important thing in life was to eat well; then, Wei Ren believed the most important thing in life was to sleep well.

Yu Sui didn't care who won or lost between him and Mei Chengyu in their dispute over the single dormitory. She turned back to Wei Ren, her eyebrows and eyes lively, as if she had a new idea. "The beast language of the School of Agriculture is a unique skill. Even if you crippled your cultivation and dropped to the first realm, it shouldn't affect your ability to interpret beast language, right?"

Wei Ren nodded. "It doesn't."

That's somewhat useful then.

Yu Sui rolled her eyes and held out her hand to Wei Ren. "Get me two sound transmission beasts from the School of Agriculture."

"And don't get the ones you've raised yourself. They might get caught by others later."

Wei Ren glanced at her soft, fair palm, then back at Yu Sui's face. When she said this, her tone was still gentle, her voice possessing the sweet, yet not cloying, quality of a maiden, but it perfectly masked the sharp barbs hidden within her words.

No wonder so many people couldn't see through Yu Sui.

She had been acting for so long since she was young. Perhaps sometimes it wasn't an act; it was just that in different environments and situations, she would present the side that was most advantageous to her.

Whatever expression or tone she used, it was all a facet of her true self.

"Alright, but what are you planning to do?" Wei Ren asked.

Yu Sui tilted her chin slightly. "You don't need to know."

Wei Ren advised her, "You don't have to keep fighting alone."

Yu Sui said crisply, "Then it's not your turn to interfere now."

Wei Ren touched his beating heart and went to the School of Agriculture to catch two red scorpions for Yu Sui, also spending some time teaching her how to use them.

As dusk fell, Yu Sui arrived at the academy's main door. Black Beard had already sent a carriage to pick her up. The Nangong Family's technicians escorted her, with several more hidden in the shadows.

The previous sneak attack by the School of Agriculture had left Black Beard with severe psychological trauma. Whenever he couldn't personally escort Yu Sui, he would send no fewer than five guards.

Yu Sui looked out the carriage window. The setting sun hung over the seashore, surrounded by vast expanses of brilliantly colored sunset clouds. Rippling with the sea waves, the crimson reflection on the sea surface resembled a flickering sea of fire.

Today was the fifteenth. The stars avoided the moon, and in the gradually dimming sky, the faint outline of a bright moon could be seen.

On the way, Yu Sui looked at Gu Gan's situation with the Five Elements Light Core:

Gu Gan had brought Huo Xiao and Xiang Feifei with him on this outing. One was from the School of Law, the other from the Yin-Yang School, and he himself practiced both Name and Law Cultivation. This time, when dealing with Mei Chengyu, he would likely use the School of Names Nine Schools Technique.

The location chosen was in the mountainous area far from the hustle and bustle of the outer city. The surroundings were sandy ground with sparse green trees. Several small hills served as cover, and at the end of the hills was the shallow sea. The light blue seawater submerged the sandy ground, leaving it damp before receding.

Although there weren't many green trees, there were plenty of weeds as tall as a person. The grass blades, a mix of green and yellow, looked unhealthy. It was unknown what was hidden within them.

The three of Gu Gan stood in the shade of the hills. Walking further inside led to the shallow beach.

All three wore black cloaks and long robes, concealing their figures and gradually blending into the night.

Xiang Feifei asked, "How are Wei Kun's preparations coming along?"

Gu Gan looked down at the Listening Wind Ruler. "He's on his way. As soon as he leaves the academy gates, Mei Chengyu will know. We need to be fast."

Xiang Feifei pulled up her hood, covering her entire small face, hiding it completely. "The cloaks can't fall, or Shadow Concealment won't work. We can't be discovered until he's dead, at least."

Huo Xiao held two black Xuan wood pieces, each about the length of a thumb. Both short pieces were carved with circles of red runes. These were the Mechanism Artist's Demon Sealing Pillars.

Within a barrier formed by any two Demon Sealing Pillars, the use of some Nine Schools Techniques and Heavenly Secrets Techniques would be restricted.

Demon Sealing Pillars were considered extremely luxurious and rare trump card treasures.

"First, set up the Demon Sealing Formation," Gu Gan said to Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao threw the two black Xuan wood pieces he held; one to the left, one to the right, encircling the hillside and the grass into a slanted long line.

Gu Gan looked in the direction of the sandy ground. "Seize the opportunity. It's best to finish it in one go."

Yu Sui rested one hand on the carriage window, her sleeve sliding up to reveal a fair arm. Two red scorpions dropped from her fingertips into the mountainous area, heading in the direction of Gu Gan and the others' wind.

Soul Control Second Level, allowing her to monitor two Five Elements Light Cores simultaneously.

After reviewing Gu Gan's layout, Yu Sui saw Mei Chengyu, who was eating with Xing Chun and others, receive news of Wei Kun leaving the academy.

Mei Chengyu elegantly set down his chopsticks and stood up, saying, "I'm going out."

"Where are you going?" Xing Chun asked, looking up.

Mei Chengyu: "To kill someone."

Xing Chun swallowed a mouthful of rice and turned to Zhongli Shan, "Did Wei Kun go out?"

Zhongli Shan also asked Mei Chengyu, "Should I go too?"

"No need." Mei Chengyu left alone.

"I'll go, I'll go!" Kong Yiyi slammed the table and stood up, only to be pulled back down by Nian Qiuyan, who was playing with the Listening Wind Ruler beside her. "You don't need to go either. Let Mei Mei handle it himself."

Kong Yiyi frowned, "He's let Wei Kun escape several times!"

"Not this time," Nian Qiuyan said gently, comforting her. "Let them resolve their own grievances."

Kong Yiyi glared at him, "As if Wei Kun hasn't screwed me over!"

Nian Qiuyan put away the Listening Wind Ruler, picked up food for her, and peeled shrimp shells, smiling, "Then it's not a loss for Mei Mei to go get revenge. You should eat well, sleep well. Aren't you cultivating Three Bodies recently? There's no need to disrupt your rhythm for Wei Kun."

Only then did Kong Yiyi pick up her chopsticks again.

Mei Chengyu arrived at the academy's main door. People came and went. As someone walked past him, they slipped him a farmer's Flying Dragonfly, which could track Wei Kun's movements.

The red Flying Dragonfly hovered in the air, covering a thousand miles in an instant. Mei Chengyu followed closely with his Wind Riding Technique.

Yu Sui, sitting in her carriage, rubbed her eyes. This speed was much faster than when he sparred with her that night.

As Yu Sui entered the bustling outer city, Mei Chengyu also caught up to Wei Kun, who was trying to enter the outer city.

Wei Kun pretended he was going into the outer city. At the increasingly crowded entrance, he ran into Mei Chengyu. The streetlights were bright, and the sounds of hawking and selling mingled with the clanging of blacksmiths working.

The red Flying Dragonfly stopped on a white stone paifang. Mei Chengyu landed at the paifang entrance with his Wind Riding Technique and immediately saw Wei Kun standing in front of an open-air blacksmith's workshop.

Wei Kun was tall and sturdy, unlike the elegant and ethereal figures of the Yin-Yang School. He was more like the solid and powerful build of the military school. He was constantly on guard, like a rat sneaking out to steal food, his small eyes shrewd and his expression alert.

The sound of the blacksmith's hammer created a sense of heat on the almost-summer night. The moment Mei Chengyu locked onto him, Wei Kun turned his head alertly. Upon seeing Mei Chengyu under the paifang, his face changed slightly. He cursed under his breath and immediately fled with his Wind Riding Technique.

The two began to chase each other in the night, their pursuit causing ripples of Five Elements Qi to shake the surroundings.

Gu Gan, by the shallow sea, said in a low voice, "They're here."

Wei Kun ran ahead, weaving through forests and paths. When he fell into the shadows, his expression momentarily turned fierce as killing intent surged into his eyes. He glanced sideways at Mei Chengyu, who was relentlessly pursuing him:

Initially, he only had a minor conflict with Xing Chun in the Yin-Yang School. He couldn't stand that Xing Chun was not diligent yet always favored by the instructors, so he would speak sarcastically to him and slander him in private.

Xing Chun didn't pay much attention. He was indeed quite laid-back and disliked conflict. If it concerned him, he would endure it if he could.

Mei Chengyu was not one to meddle in others' affairs, and his friends were not useless people who could be bullied. Most of the time, they resolved their own problems.

But later, Wei Kun developed feelings for Kong Yiyi. He did like her a bit, but Kong Yiyi didn't like him. Wei Kun thought he had a chance and constantly appeared before Kong Yiyi, trying to win her favor.

Xing Chun and Kong Yiyi were also meal companions and ate together during that period. Wei Kun became jealous and attacked Xing Chun during several trials in the Yin-Yang School. Although Xing Chun managed to escape danger, Wei Kun was thoroughly disliked by Kong Yiyi.

Kong Yiyi called Wei Kun unscrupulous and a sinister and malicious villain. After Kong Yiyi beat him up once, Wei Kun's love turned to hate. In his rage, he attacked Kong Yiyi, vowing to ruin her reputation and make her realize she was unworthy of him and should beg for his forgiveness.

In short, all sorts of methods were used, which offended Xing Chun and Kong Yiyi's circle. @He was targeted by Mei Chengyu because Wei Kun wanted to eliminate a competitor in the Yin-Yang School. If this person died, no one would compete with him for the chance to engrave the Heavenly Secrets Technique.

This Yin-Yang School disciple, Wan Jiang, had coincidentally received help from Mei Chengyu and respected him greatly. Wei Kun used Mei Chengyu's name to invite this disciple to the outer city and took the opportunity to eliminate his rival.

It was this incident that made Mei Chengyu develop killing intent towards Wei Kun, a resolve of never die, never cease.

Wei Kun was somewhat skilled, but his mentality was poor. He was petty and vindictive, yet his methods were inferior.

Ever since he killed Wan Jiang that night and was nearly killed by Mei Chengyu in the outer city, Wei Kun had been filled with fear. He had been hiding from Mei Chengyu for almost a year.

Because of killing someone, he was demoted. Every time he tried to advance to Grade A Disciple, Mei Chengyu would find an opportunity to stop him, causing his cultivation to stagnate. Even if they met in the academy, Mei Chengyu might abuse rules and beat him up.

Anyway, Mei Chengyu was not afraid of losing points; he gained points very quickly.

Normally, at the rate he killed people, he would have dropped from Grade A to Grade B long ago. But after Mei Chengyu lost points, he could regain them within two days.

Wei Kun was puzzled. How did this guy gain points? Could it be with the help of Sage Chang Gen? The more he thought about it, the angrier Wei Kun became. He was just relying on having a good master. If he didn't have Sage Chang Gen backing him up, what was Mei Chengyu?

After hiding like a rat for so long, Wei Kun's resentment towards Mei Chengyu had long surpassed that towards Xing Chun and Kong Yiyi.

So when Gu Gan approached him for cooperation, Wei Kun agreed without hesitation. Instead of struggling alone, it was better to cooperate with someone. He desperately wanted to escape Mei Chengyu's shadow, but Mei Chengyu had cut off almost all his paths. Since an opportunity had finally presented itself, Wei Kun would definitely seize it.

Tonight, all of this would end!

Just as Wei Kun made a proud declaration in his heart, he saw a flash of blue light in his peripheral vision, and the sound of thunder struck his heart heavily, causing his pupils to contract.

Mei Chengyu's figure appeared behind Wei Kun in an instant. A powerful pressure accompanied the shadow that enveloped him. Wei Kun suddenly accelerated again, using almost all his Five Elements Qi to operate his Wind Riding Technique and flee forward.

44 Chapter 44 (Page 2/2)

Yu Sui saw this and felt that without the help of Gu Gan and others, Wei Kun would surely die if he faced Mei Chengyu alone.

He himself knew this, which was why he had been avoiding Mei Chengyu.

Wei Kun used all his strength to lead Mei Chengyu to the place he had agreed upon with Gu Gan.

Black Beard waited at the entrance of the outer city. People came and went on the street. Yu Sui got out of the carriage, raised her hand to hold down her hair, which was being lifted by the night wind, and looked towards the shallow sea with a perceptive gaze.

The Red Scorpion she released was already waiting in the grass.

Thunder Serpents descended from the sky, roaring as they pursued Wei Kun, who was trying to escape. Each Thunder Serpent that missed and struck the ground kicked up sand and stones, leaving behind a scorched, massive pit.

Just as he was about to be lured into the Demon Sealing Formation, Wei Kun was sent flying by a Thunder Serpent. Weightless in the air, he crashed onto the hillside and rolled to the ground, coming to rest against the mountain wall.

Gu Gan and the other two in the shadows: ""

Fortunately, Mei Chengyu landed using his Wind Riding Technique and walked forward unhurriedly, right into the barrier of the Demon Sealing Formation.

Black Beard said to Yu Sui, "County Princess, we've set aside the goods from the shops you specifically requested. They're waiting for you to choose."

"Let's go," Yu Sui said, walking down the bustling street, chatting and laughing with Black Beard. However, her Second Soul, separated from her main body, was focused on the changes happening near the light core.

There was no sign of anything unusual.

It wasn't until she noticed Gu Gan constantly holding the Listening Wind Ruler that she finally understood why he had arranged to meet on the fifteenth.

Normally, the Listening Wind Ruler was used for sending messages, which only required learning to fill in the blanks.

However, for voice transmission, one needed to master Star Position. Under the restrictions of the Communication Institute, voice transmission via the Listening Wind Ruler was only permitted on the first, fifteenth, and the end of the month.

Tonight was the fifteenth, and the full moon shone brightly.

There were no lampposts or fireflies by the shallow sea, only the cold, clear moonlight pushing back the darkness.

Mei Chengyu wore a dark blue tight-fitting outfit, his expression cool and clear. His upper body was cast in shadow by the trees, his deep, handsome features acquiring a few shadows, making him appear stern and murderous.

His hair, tied up in a dark blue ribbon, blended with his ink-black hair. As the night wind blew, it danced, making his tall, straight back appear as elegant as an immortal from a distance.

Wei Kun clutched his chest and staggered to his feet. He glared fiercely at Mei Chengyu and said with a cold laugh, "You're like a lingering spirit."

Mei Chengyu slightly raised his eyelids, his peripheral vision sweeping the surroundings. His tone was playful, "And you're truly cowardly as a mouse."

He taunted, "Keep running?"

"Run? Why should I run? You're the one who's going to be running next," Wei Kun said fiercely, gathering golden Five Elements Qi around his body.

The surrounding night wind was also gathered by Wei Kun, causing the pebbles on the ground to sway, making soft clattering sounds. The night wind was like a blade, cutting through branches and grass.

Wei Kun exhaled, "Shattered Wind."

Mei Chengyu's expression was indifferent. As several sharp whirlwinds converged and approached him, he also said, "Shattered Wind."

The moment the two whirlwinds collided, Wei Kun's figure flickered. He attacked proactively, intending to deplete Mei Chengyu's Five Elements Qi first.

Yu Sui browsed the most prosperous and bustling commercial buildings in the outer city, chatting with the shopkeepers beside her while observing the battle unfolding in the shallow sea.

This was her first time seeing Mei Chengyu in action.

Shattered Wind was just one of the Bagua Life Techniques, so it wasn't surprising that Wei Kun could use it.

Wei Kun used some Bagua Life Techniques to disrupt his opponent's vision and hearing. Once his preparations were complete, he quickly formed seals with both hands the moment he and Mei Chengyu created distance.

Seven distinct blue-purple star lines appeared side-by-side behind Wei Kun, each line representing a Star Position.

Yin-Yang School's Nine Schools Techniques - Xuanwu Seven Mansions Star Array.

The seven star lines floated in the sky, like a new world. Within this new world, the Xustar Star Line materialized and descended to the ground, transforming into a giant python, snow-white and emitting a dense, cold white mist, which appeared beside Wei Kun.

This was the Xustar Star General, summoned by Wei Kun using Yin-Yang Techniques.

A thin layer of frost covered the sandy ground, but Mei Chengyu showed no panic. He simply raised his hand, and seven blue-purple star lines appeared in the sky, forming the Northern Black Tortoise star array.

"Xustar," Mei Chengyu whispered, summoning another Xustar Star General, which transformed into a Frost White Python and appeared on the ground.

The coldness brought by the two Frost White Pythons caused the seawater that rushed onto the beach to turn into ice prisms.

Wei Kun said in a strange tone, "Mei Chengyu, could it be that you truly possess the Mystic Technique to copy Nine Schools Techniques, as others say?"

Mei Chengyu walked forward nonchalantly, "The dead will know."

Heh!

Wei Kun let out a cold laugh. Both of them attacked simultaneously, their speed comparable to the flicker of Thunder Serpents. Both were protected by Five Elements Qi. As their fists met, their respective Xustar Star Generals also made their moves.

In just a moment, it was clear that Wei Kun was at a disadvantage in his exchange with Mei Chengyu. His Five Elements Qi defense was forced back. As his golden Five Elements Qi was scattered by Mei Chengyu's punch, Wei Kun formed seals again: Xustar - Stone Condensation!

Wei Kun's Frost White Python, under the summons, turned back. Its vertical pupils glowed with golden light, staring at Mei Chengyu and dispelling the Five Elements Qi swirling around him.

Mei Chengyu frowned slightly as he turned his head and softly said, "Xustar - Stone Condensation."

His Frost White Python swung its tail, blocking in front of Mei Chengyu.

The Listening Wind Ruler at Wei Kun's waist glowed slightly. He had been in constant communication with Gu Gan from beginning to end. At this moment, a deep male voice came from the Listening Wind Ruler: "All Techniques, shatter."

Listening Wind Ruler transmissions left no trace in the mountains. Therefore, if Yu Sui wasn't precisely monitoring the other party's Listening Wind Ruler, she wouldn't have been able to obtain the transmission's message from the mountains.

Now, listening to Gu Gan's whisper, those three short words carried immense Five Elements Qi, materializing them into a form of technique. The authority was so high that it instantly destroyed the opponent's Nine Schools Techniques.

The Frost White Python blocking Mei Chengyu shattered with a "bang," breaking into countless ice flowers that dissipated into the heavens and earth. Even the seven Xuanwu star lines suspended in the air shattered.

This shattering sound came suddenly, unexpectedly. Mei Chengyu merely raised an eyebrow slightly. However, the gaze of Wei Kun's Frost White Python broke through his Five Elements Qi defense in that instant.

The Frost White Python stared at Mei Chengyu. As it broke through his Five Elements Qi defense, it also restricted his movements, freezing him momentarily.

The three people in the shadows moved simultaneously.

As Xiang Feifei rose from the grass, the ground, illuminated by the moonlight, returned to darkness. Beneath her wide black robe, no one could see her hand seals, but she had already unleashed the Yin-Yang School's Heavenly Secrets Technique - Shadow Devour.

Darkness swallowed the ground and sky, creating a world where only black shadows remained. Everyone else, even the Frost White Python, merged into the darkness. Only Mei Chengyu, frozen by frost, remained in place.

Within the thick ice, Mei Chengyu merely moved his eyes, remaining calm and composed, showing no sign of panic or fear.

This was the moment when he couldn't summon Sage Chang Gen for fifteen minutes.

Wei Kun, hidden in the darkness, his eyes filled with killing intent, gripped his curved blade. As the ice emitted a faint cracking sound, he struck. Just as the blade grazed Mei Chengyu's neck, a golden lightning flash illuminated Wei Kun's shocked face.

Daoist Nine Schools Techniques · Heavenly Dipper Five Thunders.

Crushed ice flew everywhere. Mei Chengyu, with his bare hands, seized the curved blade. His skin touched the sharp edge, but he was unharmed due to the Five Elements Qi in his palm.

Mei Chengyu's dark eyes were filled with darkness, but the flash of golden lightning revealed Wei Kun's fearful face for an instant.

Damn it, how many other people's Nine Schools Techniques does this guy know?!

Wei Kun was horrified and tried to retreat. However, the golden lightning that flickered beside Mei Chengyu struck him through the curved blade. The Five Elements Qi defense Wei Kun had just gathered was broken again. He cried out in agony.

Mei Chengyu snatched the curved blade with a backhand move and prepared to attack again. The Listening Wind Ruler on Wei Kun's body chimed again: "Break."

Heavenly Dipper Five Thunders was broken again. A vicious smile flashed in Wei Kun's eyes as he let go and disappeared into the darkness. Mei Chengyu reacted quickly, not dwelling on Wei Kun. He spun the blade in his hand and repelled Xiang Feifei, who had emerged from the darkness to attack from behind.

Xiang Feifei disappeared into the darkness again, and she and Wei Kun took turns wearing Mei Chengyu down.

When Mei Chengyu used the Daoist Heavenly Dipper Five Thunders again, it was dispelled by Gu Gan's shout of "Break!"

Yu Sui, standing by the window of the commercial building, raised an eyebrow. Interesting.

People bustled on the street below. Black Beard was ordering the bosses to load the goods onto the carriages. Yu Sui watched the battle in the distance, contemplating Gu Gan's abilities.

It wasn't a Legalist Nine Schools Technique. It felt like School of Names, but the School of Names Nine Schools Technique couldn't be materialized and cast through sound transmission via the Listening Wind Ruler.

Was it because he saw through the flaws in Mei Chengyu's use of other schools' Nine Schools Techniques, or was it the ability of his own Nine Schools Technique?

Mei Chengyu's Nine Schools Techniques had been broken several times in a row. As soon as he cast one, it was dispelled. Currently, there were only three figures in the Swallowing Shadow Space: one was Wei Kun.

The second was very familiar with the rules of Swallowing Shadow.

The third wasn't as elusive as the first two, but instead sought opportunities for a killing blow, striking decisively and ruthlessly.

Mei Chengyu had fought all three of them simultaneously. This meant that someone else was dispelling his Nine Schools Techniques.

There was a fourth person.

Yu Sui observed Gu Gan's side carefully. He was actually within the range of Swallowing Shadow. In the giant dark space, only Mei Chengyu was excluded from the black shadow, as if he were the dazzling full moon that the darkness couldn't swallow.

Gu Gan watched Mei Chengyu's every move, seemingly wanting to eliminate Mei Chengyu's Nine Schools Techniques. He couldn't participate in the battle at the same time.

Yu Sui noticed that several times when Gu Gan dispelled Mei Chengyu's Nine Schools Techniques, not the slightest ripple of Five Elements Qi was stirred.

As long as it was a Nine Schools Technique, there would be fluctuations of Five Elements Qi. Gu Gan, using sound transmission through the Listening Wind Ruler, could conceal this fact.

Concealing the fact that he could use Mystic Technique, which didn't require Five Elements Qi.

When Yu Sui confirmed that it was indeed Mystic Technique, she pressed the Listening Wind Ruler in her hand and her gaze swept over Mei Chengyu, whose Five Elements Qi defense had been broken again because his Nine Schools Techniques were always being dispelled.

Mei Chengyu was fighting three opponents. Although he could still hold his ground, he had sustained many injuries. Wei Kun had the strongest killing intent and was the easiest to sense.

The other two: one was likely the master of Swallowing Shadow, hence their freedom of movement.

The third hid their aura the deepest. It was difficult to capture their killing intent, fighting spirit, or Five Elements Qi.

Wei Kun led the charge, drawing Mei Chengyu's attention, while Xiang Feifei attacked from behind again. The Frost White Python's eyes flashed with golden light, and it spat its crimson tongue towards Mei Chengyu.

Mei Chengyu was heavily struck by the Frost White Python. His shoulder was covered in blood. The splashing frost, like sword blades, cut through his clothes, leaving bloody marks, and even severed a piece of his hairband.

But he stabilized himself and kicked Wei Kun away. With a Wind Riding Technique's instant shadow beneath his feet, he grabbed Xiang Feifei's sword-wielding hand with a backhand move and directly broke it. However, Xiang Feifei slipped away like a loach and disappeared into the darkness.

Xiang Feifei was annoyed, clutching her injured right hand.

The next moment, golden light flashed again, and Daoist Heavenly Thunder descended. Gu Gan opened his mouth and said, "Break!"

However, the moment he spoke, Yu Sui cut off the connection with Wei Kun's Listening Wind Ruler.

Gu Gan failed to stop this Nine Schools Technique. Huo Xiao, who trusted him, thus entered the range of Mei Chengyu's golden lightning attack. Mei Chengyu flicked his hand, striking Huo Xiao heavily with the golden lightning, sending him flying.

What's going on?!

Gu Gan was greatly shaken and looked down at the Listening Wind Ruler in his hand in disbelief.

Yu Sui, standing by the window of the commercial building, tilted her head and smiled.

Xiang Feifei tried to go to Huo Xiao's rescue, but Mei Chengyu seized the opening. With a flash of golden lightning, he dispersed the darkness within the Swallowing Shadow Space, briefly illuminating the entire space.

Unable to use the darkness to teleport, Mei Chengyu had realized during the previous fight that Xiang Feifei was the master of Swallowing Shadow. He then pursued her with instant shadow. Xiang Feifei, blocked in her path, had no choice but to fight. The dagger in her hand flashed with silver-white light, reflecting the man's indifferent eyebrows and eyes.

Didn't you say you could stop his Nine Schools Techniques?

Xiang Feifei was surprised, wondering where things had gone wrong. Her movements faltered for a moment, and Mei Chengyu's speed was far superior to hers. This time, Mei Chengyu grabbed Xiang Feifei's attacking wrist again, and she couldn't escape. As her arm was broken, she bit her lip fiercely, instantly breaking out in a sweat.

Pale blue thunder snakes twisted into complex runes, crawling up Xiang Feifei's arm. She looked at it with a horrified expression.

Ghost Dao School's Life Talisman!

Xiang Feifei's sweat dripped down her chin from the excruciating pain of her broken arm. Mei Chengyu didn't even bother to lift her hat to see who she was; he was interested in one thing: she was going to die.
