Chapter 384 Mutual Killing

After a small team from the Second Division of the Southern Palace entered the cloud chariot, they cooperated well. Three of them went to find Gu Gan, and three others went to the control room, communicating with each other through the sound transmission beast.

Mei Liangyu cut through the terrain, trapping Gu Gan at the rear of the cloud chariot. However, Gu Gan relied on the Divine Mechanism Heavenly Official to sweep away all the nine kinds of magic inside the chariot.

This kid's magical abilities seem to have evolved again.

While repairing the Cloud Chariot, Mei Liangyu fell into deep thought. It seemed that he had just faced one of the Yin-Yang fish from the Underworld Lake. According to Wu Huaiwei, Gu Gan had not refined the Yang fish. With the help of the famous Zhu Lao and others, the Yang fish was sealed in Gu Gan's body.

But now

Mei Liangyu glanced at the wall inside the car; the temperature he touched was gradually rising, becoming scalding hot.

Xing Chun, who was behind, quietly asked Zhong Lishan, "Do you feel hotter?"

Zhong Lishan then looked up and asked Mei Liangyu in front of him, "Don't you think the five elements inside the cloud chariot are out of balance?"

“I told you long ago that you shouldn’t have come up here,” Mei Liangyu said without turning his head.

Not only is the Five Elements imbalanced, but the Nine Streams Techniques he rewrote are still being eliminated, meaning that Gu Gan has maintained the state of a Divine Strategist from the beginning until now.

Gu Gan made the Heavenly Official's ability change from a single use to a continuous one.

“Was that the Yin-Yang fish from the Lake of the Dead?” Xing Chun suddenly said. “Last month, the Taiyi Five Elements were out of balance, with snow and storms coming and going. I heard it was all because our Yin-Yang family’s Yin-Yang fish escaped.”

"Could the yin-yang symbol be inside Gu Gan's body?"

Mei Liangyu said, "Yes."

Xing Chun and Zhong Lishan were both stunned.

Gu Gan, that kid... he has both the Divine Strategist and the Yin-Yang Fish, what kind of luck and talent is that?

"Just who is he?" For the first time, Xing Chun felt that Gu Gan's existence was somewhat dangerous. "If he can control the Yin-Yang Fish, then wouldn't that be..."

“He was simply sealed inside by the sages of Taiyi. The other sages didn’t want the Yin-Yang School to possess the Twin Fish, so they used Gu Gan to take the Twin Fish out of the Underworld Lake and out of Taiyi.” Mei Liangyu sneered, “Once he leaves Taiyi with the Yin-Yang Twin Fish, he will become the target of the sages of the six kingdoms.”

Wu Huaiwei verbally threatened Yu Sui to kill Gu Gan, but she knew best in her heart that Gu Gan and Yu Sui were both targets closely watched by most of the Saints. If either of them made a move against one of them, the rest of the Saints would intervene.

However, if the Yin-Yang Pisces are not retrieved within Taiyi, once one of these two leaves Taiyi, the Pisces may be impossible to retrieve.

Wu Huaiwei wanted Yu Sui to kill Gu Gan in order to protect the treasure belonging to the Yin Yang School and prevent it from leaving Taiyi and becoming one of the tools in the struggle between the six kingdoms.

Wu Huaiwei also knew that if she took action herself, it would only make the other saints more united, so she pushed Yu Sui forward.

It makes perfect sense that the yin and yang fish fight each other.

Mei Liangyu also knew that if Yu Sui really killed Gu Gan and obtained the Yang Fish, Wu Huaiwei would never help her refine the Yin and Yang energies as promised.

Zhong Lishan pondered, "As for what Gu Gan's background is, there doesn't seem to be any definite information to prove it. I only know that he has a very good relationship with the Nangong family, like the Nangong Prince's godson."

He once asked his father if Gu Gan was Nangong Ming's illegitimate son, and his father said no. Zhong Lishan then asked, "Then why is Prince Nangong so good to Gu Gan?"

Zhong Li Ci, however, said that it was a debt owed by Nangong Ming.

Zhong Lishan found it incredible that Nangong Ming was someone who would repay his debts.

“Those who are publicly referred to as godsons are probably actually sons,” Xing Chun muttered.

Zhongli Shan said to Mei Liangyu, "If Gu Gan is determined to fight you to the death, then the Nangong family will also..."

“You’re wrong,” Mei Liangyu said. “It’s a fight to the death between me and the Nangong family.”

Zhong Lishan and Xing Chun were both stunned, because they both believed that Mei Liangyu liked Yu Sui, so it was unlikely that he would have a major falling out with the Nangong family. But his words...

"You..." Xing Chun had just opened his mouth when he suddenly heard a loud bang from above and immediately looked up.

With a loud bang, the roof of the carriage exploded. The moment Mei Liangyu turned around, he saw six thunder arrows hurtling towards Xing Chun at close range. He and Zhong Lishan attacked at the same time, but only managed to block two of them.

The remaining four thunder arrows pierced Xing Chun's chest and shoulder at close range, instantly staining his entire body with blood. The scorching heat wave exploded inside the carriage, shattering the doors and windows that had been broken in the previous wave, and sending Xing Chun flying out of the cloud carriage, plummeting from the clouds.

"Xing Chun!"

The mountaintop Zhongli was caught in a heatwave and storm, trying to pass by, but was flung away by the tail of a giant, burning golden yang fish.

Standing behind Yang Yu, Gu Gan's eyes were still burning. He looked at Mei Liangyu with a defiant expression in his anger, "You'll taste what it's like to lose someone important."

Mei Liangyu was enveloped in a golden protective aura. He stood in front of the broken car door, holding the broken Thunder Arrow in his hand, and stared expressionlessly at the falling figure outside.

Some people and feelings must be given up.

Did he keep Yu Sui, but then greedily want to keep even more?

Do you deserve all of this?

Having received no answer to his sinister question, Mei Liangyu threw the four black Xuanmu woods back to Zhonglishan's side. The moment the Xuanmu woods formed a demon-sealing barrier to block Gu Gan, he leaped outwards.

The cloud-carrying dragon sped into the endless sea thunderstorm area. The clouds became thick and dark, and countless golden fireflies gathered towards Mei Liangyu, unfurling a pair of huge black and white crane feathers.

Divine mechanisms harmonize with the universe.

The black and white cranes carried Mei Liangyu at breakneck speed through the dark clouds and thunderstorms, heading towards the fallen Xing Chun.

Gu Gan clearly did not expect that Mei Liangyu would actually follow Xing Chun out. Just as he took a step forward, intending to kill them all, Zhong Lishan, who had been flung away by Yang Yu's tail, picked up the Shuofeng Sword and stood up from the ground.

The demon-sealing barrier left by Mei Liangyu just happened to keep Zhonglishan in a safe position. The barrier rejected the Nine Streams Technique and the Heavenly Secret Technique, thus resolving the imbalance of the five elements caused by the Yang Fish for Zhonglishan.

Gu Gan said to Zhongli Shan, "For Zhongli's sake..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhong Lishan had already gripped his sword and slashed horizontally, unleashing a Tai'a sword aura towards Gu Gan.

The sword energy, seemingly formless and flowing like water, was gradually being dissipated by the Divine Strategist. However, it continued to advance, desperately trying to reach its target. Before the Divine Strategist had completely eliminated it, most of its power had already been dissipated. Gu Gan casually squeezed and crushed the Tai'a sword energy.

Gu Gan stood with the golden Yang Fish, sneering at Zhong Lishan: "Within the Heavenly Official's domain, even the Divine Sword Technique Tai'a..."

Before he could finish speaking, another cloud chariot, Flying Dragon, crashed into him with a loud bang, and both chariots shook violently.

Gu Gan frowned, holding onto one of the carriage doors with one hand. A thunderous sound rang in his ears, and the flickering lights inside the carriage suddenly went out. The countless lighting beads embedded in the ceiling also shattered with a cracking sound.

Zhong Lishan and Gu Gan vaguely saw a dark figure standing in front of the broken carriage door. The figure's face was not clear, but as the figure looked up, only a fierce and menacing tiger face was revealed.

People from the Nangong Second Division?

No, that's not it!

Gu Gan frowned even more deeply. A strange killing intent arose from the depths of his soul, flowing continuously and uncontrollably. A power was silently summoning him, urging him to crush the dark figure before him.

The golden Yang Fish standing behind Gu Gan was staring intently at Yu Sui.

At the same time, Yu Sui also sensed that the Yin Fish, which had been suppressed in the Nine Provinces Star Sea, was becoming restless and was releasing some kind of signal.

The black fish swam upwards from the deep seabed at great speed, as if it couldn't wait, and the ripples it created spread outwards, along with a continuous stream of killing intent.

Yu Sui looked at Gu Gan and realized that what Wu Huaiwei meant by mutual attraction was that they would kill each other.

It's unclear who made the first move, but as another thunderbolt struck and lightning illuminated the entire carriage aisle, both activated their protective auras and vanished from their current positions in a flash.

Within the Heavenly Official's territory, Yu Sui's Nine Streams Technique was useless. She pulled the battlefield back, avoiding Zhongli Mountain. Gu Gan had already forgotten about Xun Zhiya and was enveloped by Yang Yu's killing intent, chasing after Yu Sui to kill her.

Zhong Lishan didn't know why Gu Gan suddenly went mad and started fighting with the Nangong family's sorcerers, but he couldn't care less about that. He rushed towards the control room and told Wen Yangxiu to turn around and find Mei Liangyu and Xing Chun who had fallen.

"They fell down?!" Wen Yangxiu felt extremely overwhelmed, but gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "No, it's questionable whether we can even get through the thunderstorm, we can't turn back."

Zhong Lishan: "Why not?"

"As long as Shi Yuezhen and Cang Shu are still alive, I have to get those two out of here first." Wen Yangxiu turned around, his sharp gaze sweeping over Zhong Lishan. "Don't think about anything else right now, just make sure these two don't fall out!"

If Shi Yuezhen hadn't been in such a weakened state, they would have used the sea eye to bring her out. But Shi Yuezhen was too fragile to withstand the raging sea air.

Zhong Lishan gripped his sword tightly, took a deep breath, and asked, "Are you sure they'll be alright?"

Wen Yangxiu wasn't sure, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Meimei will definitely be fine. He dared to chase after her because he was confident he could save her."

Zhong Lishan looked in the direction Gu Gan had chased after Yu Sui and suddenly asked, "Wouldn't it be okay to cut off the back carriages?"

“No! The entire cloud chariot is a single unit. I’m already an unqualified driver. If we cut it in half, I’m afraid it will…” Before Wen Yangxiu could finish speaking, Zhong Lishan looked back at the other cloud chariot, Feilong, and said, “Then let’s change chariots.”

"Guess how many people are on the other side?" Wen Yangxiu shouted. "And we can't hand Xun Zhiya over! She hasn't said anything yet, has she?!"

"They came for Gu Gan, but the Nangong sorcerer who just came over is not in good condition. Before that, their cloud chariot also exploded, so I don't think the other side is in much better condition either."

Zhong Lishan calmly said, "I'll go take a look, and if it's possible, I'll change cars."

Wen Yangxiu quickly thought that, originally affected by the Divine Mechanism Official, the Nine Streams Techniques carried by this cloud chariot had been constantly being eliminated, and Mei Liangyu had not yet fully repaired it before falling down to save people.

Although both cloud vehicles exploded, the cloud vehicle on the other side was clearly in much better condition.

"Okay!" Wen Yangxiu agreed, "but you only have fifteen minutes. You have to be back by then, whether there are any problems or not!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the initiative to move closer to another cloud-carrying flying dragon.

When the two cloud vehicles collided, there was another loud bang and violent shaking.

When Yu Sui's cloud chariot overturned, he encountered another group of Rakshasa sorcerers from the Nangong Second Division. They saw Yu Sui, who was also wearing a platinum tiger mask, and thought he was their companion. However, they did not expect that this dark figure would use a killing move.

First, he kicked the person in front to the ground, then drew the long sword from the other man's waist and slit the throat of the second man. The third man heard Gu Gan's angry shout: "Kill him!"

However, he was blasted away by the five elements light core that exploded in front of his chest.

Yu Sui turned around with his sword and attacked Gu Gan, who was chasing after him. Gu Gan, who was using the Wind Control Technique, braked sharply and dodged. He still maintained the power of the Divine Mechanism Official, preventing Yu Sui from using the Nine Streams Technique on him.

The vehicle overturned again, and the two men fell into the carriage door together.

Yang Yu blocked the doorway, igniting the temperature of the entire carriage. Despite being unaffected by the scorching heat, Yu Sui was unable to get the Five Elements Light Core close to Gu Gan.

Gu Gan, wearing black finger cots, wielded Zhen Feng Lei. The golden five elements energy flowing from his eyes was even more intense than before. He stared at Yu Sui's movements, making precise and rapid moves to seal off all her killing blows and force her into the innermost corner of the room.

Gu Gan kicked over the screen that was blocking his view and snapped the longsword that was slashing at him with one hand.

Yu Sui leaned against the wall and glimpsed Gu Gan's other hand reaching for his neck, gripping the broken sword downwards. Gu Gan didn't flinch, letting the broken sword pierce his wrist as he grabbed Yu Sui's neck: "Who are you?"

The room was pitch black. In the instant that lightning illuminated the dim corner, the eyes beneath the mask ignited with a magnificent light, crushing the five elements energy that had been captured from Gu Gan.

Divine Mechanism and Heavenly Eye.

The golden light that had been streaming into Gu Gan's eyes vanished instantly. He was incredulous; his pupils contracted, and the Heavenly Official's range became ineffective.

Under Gu Gan's shocked and puzzled gaze, Yu Sui moved swiftly, grabbed his wrist and snapped it with a crisp sound.

Gu Gan grunted, and his shinbone was shattered by Yu Sui's kick, which was burning with protective energy. His body suddenly collapsed, and he had no choice but to look up at the dark figure walking towards him.

He forced himself to use the Divine Mechanism Heavenly Official to mobilize the Five Elements Qi again, but the Five Elements Qi he had just gathered disappeared again. Gu Gan was shocked. What happened?

Yu Sui had already reached him and grabbed his neck with her five fingers.

The two locked eyes, but Yang Yu suddenly set the entire carriage ablaze and charged toward Yu Sui. This time, however, even Gu Gan was set ablaze.

Gu Gan's body had reached its limit, and he could no longer control Yang Yu.

The freed Yangyu then charged towards Yu Sui.
