Mei Chengyu's mind flashed gold. Fragments of memory darted past so quickly that he could barely make them out.
The next moment, a fierce gust of fist wind swept past his cheek. Gu Gan had thought Mei Chengyu paused because of the power of the Mysterious Technique. Celestial Official, and had seized the chance to launch a surprise attack. But Mei Chengyu's reaction was still swift; the instant he sensed danger, his body was already moving to evade it.
Gu Gan's punch still carried the power of the Legalist Judgment. Thunder Punishment. His knuckles scraped a red mark across Mei Chengyu's cheek, and beneath a faint flicker of lightning, the skin split into a thin line of blood.
Mei Chengyu blocked the punch again and looked up at Gu Gan. The black piece from the School of Names' Words had merged into the darkness and only now revealed itself. Gu Gan tried to speak and use Break Law again, but the black piece pierced his throat.
Gu Gan's defenses were quick. Though the black piece had blocked his voice, it was stopped by the protection of his Five Elements Qi. The two of them were forced apart once more.
"Looks like you know," Gu Gan said in a low voice from the darkness.
Mei Chengyu knew that Gu Gan possessed the Mystic Technique. It had been clear when he used the black piece to block his voice just now.
"Just for the little matter of Zhanlong Cave, you have to resort to the Mystic Technique?" Mei Chengyu asked coolly.
Gu Gan replied, "If I didn't use it, I'd have to guess for myself. Better to use it and find out exactly what the enemy knows."
Besides, since the other side already knew, he could use it openly.
