Missing Thoughts Literature

If Gu Gan didn't act soon, Xiang Feifei would have all her Five Elements Qi and life force drained by the life talisman, turning her into a distorted Human Skin Talisman.

They were running out of time.

Gu Gan instantly appeared behind Mei Chengyu.

Law School's Judgment Technique: Lingchi.

The explosive sound of wind roared in Mei Chengyu's ears, countless tiny wind blades desperately trying to bore into his skin. The wind blades completely ignored his Five Elements Qi defense.

In the instant he blocked, Gu Gan pulled Xiang Feifei back by the hand. However, Mei Chengyu, risking his hands being shredded by the wind blades, bound Xiang Feifei with Thunder Serpents in the blood mist.

The explosive wind blades shredded the skin and flesh of Mei Chengyu's palms, the wounds deep enough to see bone. Yet, he didn't hesitate, refusing to give up this chance to break through the Shadow Devour.

Thunder Serpents and Golden Lightning struck Xiang Feifei simultaneously. Gu Gan scooped Xiang Feifei up by the waist. Although he shielded her immediately, they were both sent flying by the Golden Lightning, crashing into the darkness.

Xiang Feifei coughed up blood, collapsing in Gu Gan's arms, unable to maintain Shadow Devour any longer.

As the darkness receded and moonlight once again illuminated the sand and stones on the ground, Gu Gan's chest tightened, his movements faltering.

Daoist Heavenly Lightning was no ordinary Nine Schools Technique; it was Daoist Heavenly Secrets Technique. Taking one hit was enough to put him in a bad state, let alone Xiang Feifei.

The Nine Schools Techniques Mei Chengyu knew were beyond his imagination.

Yu Sui shared the same sentiment. Mei Chengyu seemed to know techniques from all the Nine Schools, not just those, but Heavenly Secrets Technique as well.

If he wasn't copying, it was truly hard to imagine.

But if he was copying, why didn't he copy Xiang Feifei's Shadow Devour just now?

Yu Sui felt a bit regretful. She had wanted to confirm Gu Gan's Mystic Technique, and had forgotten about Mei Chengyu. But it wasn't over yet; the Demon Sealing Barrier over there hadn't been used. Gu Gan and the others should have more tricks up their sleeves.

Gu Gan lowered his gaze, seeing Xiang Feifei in his arms covered in sweat, spitting blood, and unconscious, her face a pale white. Anger surged within him.

Xiang Feifei was usually strong and lively. Seeing her vulnerable side now, injured, made him feel even more protective.

Gu Gan's peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a Red Scorpion hidden in the grass, his heart giving a slight jolt.

An Agricultural School Sound Transmission Beast?

Who?

Cang Shu?

Was the disturbance with the Listening Wind Ruler just now caused by Cang Shu, an Agricultural School Disciple hiding behind the scenes?

Yu Sui sat in the carriage, resting her chin on one hand as she watched the outside. She smiled, thinking that Gu Gan had finally noticed the Sound Transmission Beast she had left there.

Agricultural School Sound Transmission Beasts could indeed interfere with the transmission of the Listening Wind Ruler. Yu Sui had known this when she was researching the Listening Wind Ruler.

When Gu Gan emphasized that they would act on the fifteenth, Yu Sui had thought of the Listening Wind Ruler's transmission but wasn't sure. She had simply had Wei Ren give him the Red Scorpion as a precaution. She couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't use the power to control the Listening Wind Ruler while observing this battle.

The power to control the Listening Wind Ruler had revealed part of it to Gu Gan's side. If there were any anomalies related to the Listening Wind Ruler, Gu Gan would suspect her first.

Yu Sui had to find some cover for herself to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"To be able to cultivate Shadow Devour to this extent is quite remarkable," Mei Chengyu walked towards Gu Gan and Xiang Feifei. "There aren't many people like this in the Yin-Yang School, so it shouldn't be hard to find them."

Mei Chengyu wasn't in much better shape. When he was heavily struck by the Frost White Python, the clothes on his left shoulder were already soaked in blood. When the frost shattered, his neck and face were also cut.

When he held Xiang Feifei with Thunder Serpents and didn't let go, he directly clashed with Gu Gan's Judgment Technique: Lingchi. Now, both his hands were bloody, blood constantly dripping. The torn flesh revealed stark white bone.

Yu Sui sighed inwardly as her gaze swept over Mei Chengyu's hands, feeling the pain just looking at them.

Even though Mei Chengyu was a Ghost Dao School disciple, killing him required shattering his three souls. However, the pain from physical injuries was real.

Mei Chengyu's expression remained unchanged, as if he felt no pain. His dark pupils swept over the people present with a hint of cold fierceness.

Gu Gan withdrew his gaze from the Red Scorpion and used the Mystic Technique, Pseudo-Voice, making his voice androgynous. "You won't have a chance to find them."

Even as he said this, cold sweat broke out on his back due to the appearance of the Red Scorpion.

Could it be that someone else was watching nearby?

Huo Xiao, staggering to his feet behind them, formed seals and activated the Demon Sealing Barrier. A white barrier unfolded, drawing a circle on the ground, trapping only Mei Chengyu within it.

After activating the barrier, Huo Xiao clutched his shoulder, his brow furrowed.

He had been caught off guard by the Golden Lightning, and his injuries were not much better than Xiang Feifei's.

They had held an absolute advantage within Shadow Devour, yet the opponent had turned the tables in an instant.

"Demon Sealing Barrier, Mechanism Artist," Mei Chengyu stopped, looking up at the dark wood fixed at both ends, a playful smile on his face. "It seems you don't know yet."

"Die!" Wei Kun struggled to stand up, leaning against the mountain wall. Half his face was covered in blood, his own and Mei Chengyu's. The Frost White Python was now coiled around the Demon Sealing Barrier, its head raised high, looking down at Mei Chengyu below.

Wei Kun's killing intent was immense, his anger boundless. There was no more time, and he didn't want to waste words with Mei Chengyu. The strength Mei Chengyu displayed filled him with dread, as if he could never control him, no matter what. He could always turn the tables, no matter how desperate the situation.

Like being trapped in Shadow Devour, or being trapped in the Demon Sealing Barrier now.

This oppressive feeling filled him with despair, his fighting spirit instantly collapsing.

Wei Kun couldn't accept it. Driven by fear and killing intent, he wanted Mei Chengyu dead here!

Following his master's order, the Frost White Python opened its mouth and roared, moving with extreme speed, aiming to bite off Mei Chengyu's head. Gu Gan did not let down his guard and once again used Judgment Technique: Lingchi.

Mei Chengyu couldn't possibly use the Heavenly Secrets Technique within the Demon Sealing Barrier!

He couldn't block it!

Everyone thought so.

Yet Yu Sui saw Mei Chengyu standing calmly, not moving an inch. The composure of her Senior Martial Brother and the disdain in his gaze towards the Frost White Python made her feel he wouldn't just let himself die here.

A fleeting fighting spirit flickered in Mei Chengyu's eyes, lending him a momentary air of wickedness.

Medical School Pupil Technique: Gaze into the Heart.

The white python, descending rapidly with its massive maw open, recoiled the instant its eyes met Mei Chengyu's. Before Wei Kun could react, his face still contorted in ferocity and killing intent, the python suddenly turned and bit down on Wei Kun without hesitation.

What!?

Gu Gan and Huo Xiao looked up in disbelief. A flicker of confusion crossed Wei Kun's face as the Frost White Python, still raised high, bit him to pieces and swallowed him whole.

Blood splattered, falling onto the sandy ground and soaking in.

How is this possible? How could he still know the Medical School Pupil Technique!

Gu Gan's eyes trembled as he looked at Mei Chengyu.

Mei Chengyu raised a hand to shield his neck, warding off the danger of the slicing wind blades cutting his throat. Soon, the Frost White Python angrily thrashed its tail, crushing one of the Mystic Wood pillars and breaking the Demon Sealing Barrier.

As soon as the Demon Sealing Barrier broke, Gu Gan made a decisive move. He immediately grabbed Xiang Feifei, covering Huo Xiao's retreat. They had certainly learned a lesson tonight; they had underestimated Mei Chengyu.

The time for Sage Chang Gen had also arrived. Even if they forced Mei Chengyu into a desperate situation again, Sage Chang Gen might intervene.

Gu Gan wanted to flee, and Mei Chengyu wanted to pursue.

@Three Black Figures gradually disappeared into the jungle, their speed both incredibly fast, as if all their strength was being poured into using the Wind Riding Technique.

Gu Gan, covering Huo Xiao and handing Xiang Feifei over to him, fell to the rear. Just as Mei Chengyu caught up to him, he was forced back by the Judgment Techniques, the slicing wind blades still pursuing him.

Black Beard personally escorted Yu Sui back to the academy. The carriage drove out of the bustling outer city, passed under the Shi Yu paifang, and headed towards Taiyi Academy along the surrounding jungle.

Yu Sui lifted the carriage curtain to look outside, her expression thoughtful. If they took this route, they might encounter the retreating Gu Gan and his group.

Gu Gan and the others had already exited the shallow sea area, traversed the jungle, and arrived in the dense forest near the main road.

Mei Chengyu, who had been in pursuit, suddenly stopped, his speed slowing.

He frowned slightly and let out a soft "tsk."

The Nine Schools Techniques of other families had been used too frequently, and all of them were high-level Nine Schools Techniques or Heavenly Secrets Techniques. Now, the Five Elements Qi was in chaos, and even breathing sent a jolt through his nerves.

He hadn't been able to kill Wei Kun before because this kid was too good at running. He might not have been able to win a fight, but when it came to escaping, he had his skills.

Moreover, Wei Kun had known from the start that he couldn't win against Mei Chengyu in a one-on-one fight, so he had never intended to fight him. Every time he was discovered in the outer city, he would turn and run, desperately heading towards the academy.

This time, Wei Kun tried to join forces with Gu Gan and stopped running, only to be caught completely off guard by Mei Chengyu.

His original goal for today was to kill Wei Kun; the others weren't a priority.

Mei Chengyu stopped using the Wind Riding Technique and instead walked forward slowly.

Gu Gan suddenly noticed that the pursuer behind him had slowed down. He thought it was a trap and observed for a moment before suddenly remembering the chaos of the Five Elements Qi.

Even Mei Chengyu, who cultivated the Ghost Dao School's Three Souls and Six Po, couldn't withstand the pain brought on by the chaotic Five Elements Qi.

There was an opportunity!

Gu Gan changed direction and decisively turned back to fight again.

Mei Chengyu had already emerged from the dense forest and stepped into the moonlight. A delicate carriage was approaching from a distance on the main road, its speed comparable to the Wind Riding Technique, and it was quickly drawing nearer.

Yu Sui, who had been leaning by the carriage window, saw Mei Chengyu standing in the moonlight. She sat up and called out to him in surprise, "Senior Martial Brother!"

This cry of "Senior Martial Brother" successfully made Gu Gan stop. He, hidden in the shadows, looked towards the roadside in shock.

Black Beard, driving the carriage, heard Yu Sui's cry and also saw Mei Chengyu in the dense forest by the roadside. He immediately stopped the carriage.

Mei Chengyu blinked slowly, a sharp pain shooting through his heart. His gaze fixed on Yu Sui, who was hurriedly getting out of the carriage. Seeing him, she gasped, covering her mouth with her hand, her moist apricot eyes shimmering with a slight, watery sheen, as if she were frightened.

"Senior Martial Brother? How did you get so injured?" Yu Sui asked, a mixture of urgency and confusion in her voice as she ran towards him, panting, "Who did you get into a fight with?"

There was a thin sheen of sweat on Mei Chengyu's forehead, but he maintained a composed expression, as if to say that even though he was covered in blood, he felt no pain. He casually asked Yu Sui, "What are you holding?"

Yu Sui looked down and realized she was still holding the jewelry box she had bought today. She said softly, "I came to the outer city tonight to buy new jewelry and clothes. This is what I just bought."

Mei Chengyu thought to himself, How nice. Some people are fighting for their lives in the outer city, while others are spending money like water.

Gu Gan watched the two of them standing together, a suffocating feeling building in his chest.

"Senior Martial Brother, quickly get in the carriage. I'll take you to the Medical School. I'm so afraid you'll die," Yu Sui said, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at Mei Chengyu.

Mei Chengyu lowered his gaze to her shimmering eyes and suddenly felt that seeing his Junior Martial Sister felt quite good.

Gu Gan, hidden in the shadows, watched as Mei Chengyu was helped into the carriage by Yu Sui. Black Beard, not wanting to delay Mei Chengyu's treatment, even accelerated the carriage.

Anger flared in Gu Gan's eyes, threatening to ignite the entire dense forest by the roadside. Why?

Why did he have to use the Wind Riding Technique to get back, while this kid Mei Chengyu could ride in a carriage with Suisui!

This cunning and deceitful man even dared to bewitch Suisui!
