Chapter 44 I'll Die Anyway

Yu Sui seemed thoughtful about Mei Liangyu's answer. While listening to the lecture at the medical school, she would occasionally glance at the situation on the other side of the light core.

When I left the doctor's house in the afternoon, I unexpectedly bumped into Wei Ren, who was also there.

At the edge of the medicinal herb field, Wei Ren took the initiative to greet Yu Sui, forcing a smile on his pale face: "Oh."

Yu Sui tucked her hands into her sleeves and slowly walked over, glancing upwards slightly: "You can walk outside now?"

"I just came to the doctor to get some medicine," Wei Ren said with a slight smirk, somewhat helplessly. "You can't refuse this, can you?"

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

Wei Ren was being stared at by Yu Sui. Those beautiful, moist almond-shaped eyes always carried a gentle smile. Even when they weren't smiling, they had a soft and gentle quality, whether innocent or obedient, without any hint of aggression.

Even now, those eyes, though not smiling, were still beautiful. The extremely dark pupils reflected Wei Ren, but they were like a net, hanging with the icy dew of spring, trapping Wei Ren within it, making him unable to move. If he moved even slightly, the icy, sharp threads would cut into his flesh, sending a sharp pain through him.

Wei Ren dared to guarantee that there was absolutely no one else in this world who had ever been looked at with such eyes by Yu Sui, except for him.

This unique honor left him feeling both grateful and helpless.

"Not yet. We need to recover first before we have the strength and energy to think of more solutions, right?" Wei Ren tried to reason with her, but Yu Sui turned her eyes away without any mercy after hearing his words.

“I’m serious. I need to recover before I can help. Your senior brother, I’m not trying to criticize him, but I’ve already crippled my cultivation and my core is severely damaged, yet he still won’t give up on fixing my soul, which keeps giving me nightmares and keeping me awake at night.” Wei Ren said with a forced smile, “Unfortunately, I just can’t do what he wants, so I’m not moving.”

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

Wei Ren took a deep breath and said, "Getting a good night's sleep is no small matter."

Perhaps Mei Liangyu believed that the most important thing in life was to eat well, while Wei Ren believed that the most important thing in life was to sleep well.

Yu Sui didn't care who won or lost the battle between him and Mei Liangyu for a single dormitory room. She turned to look at Wei Ren, her eyes sparkling, as if she had some new idea, and asked, "The Farmer's Beast Language is a unique skill. Even if you cripple your cultivation and drop to the first realm, it shouldn't affect your ability to decipher beast language, right?"

Wei Ren nodded: "It won't affect anything."

That's somewhat useful.

Yu Sui rolled his eyes and spread his hands toward Wei Ren, saying, "Give me two of the farmer's communication beasts."

"Don't take the ones you raised yourself, or they might get caught by someone else."

Wei Ren glanced at her soft, white palm, then looked back at Yu Sui's face. When she spoke, her tone was still gentle, her voice sweet like a young girl's, not cloying, but perfectly masking all the sharp, barbed meaning in her words.

No wonder so many people failed to see through Yu Sui.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always acted so convincingly. Perhaps sometimes it wasn't an act at all, but rather she would present the side that was most advantageous to herself in different environments and situations.

Regardless of her expression or tone of voice, it's all a reflection of her true self.

“Okay, but what are you planning to do?” Wei Ren asked.

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

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

Yu Sui said crisply, "That's none of your business to interfere now."

Wei Ren touched his beating heart, went to a farmer's house and caught two red scorpions for Yu Sui, and even spent some time teaching her how to use them.

As the sun set, Yu Sui arrived at the academy gate. Blackbeard had already sent a carriage to pick her up, with Nangong family sorcerers guarding her on both sides, and several others lurking in the shadows.

The last ambush by the farmers left Blackbeard with a severe psychological scar. Whenever he is unable to go to pick up Yu Sui, he will send no fewer than five guards to do so.

Yu Sui looked out the car window and saw the setting sun hanging over the sea, surrounded by a vast expanse of magnificent, fiery clouds. As the waves rippled, the crimson reflection on the sea surface resembled a swaying sea of ​​fire.

Today is the fifteenth of the lunar month. The stars are avoiding the moon, and in the gradually fading sky, the outline of a bright moon can be vaguely seen.

On the way, Yu Sui was looking at the Five Elements Light Core over Gu Gan's side:

Gu Gan brought Huo Xiao and Xiang Feifei with him on this trip. One is a Legalist and the other is a Yin-Yang School practitioner. In addition, he himself is a practitioner of both Legalism and Fame. He will probably use the Nine Schools of Fame techniques to deal with Mei Liangyu.

The location was chosen in the mountains, far from the bustling outer city. It was surrounded by sandy and rocky ground with sparse green trees. There were a few small hills for cover, and at the end of the hills was the shallow sea. The light blue seawater swallowed the sandy ground, leaving a damp patch before receding to the right.

Although there weren't many green trees, there were plenty of weeds as tall as a person, with green and yellow leaves mixed together, none of which looked very healthy, and it was hard to tell what was hidden inside.

Gu Gan and his two companions stood in the shadows of the hillside; the shallow beach lay just beyond.

All three were dressed in long black cloaks, concealing their figures as they gradually blended into the night.

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

Gu Gan looked down at Tingfeng Chi: "He's already here. Mei Liangyu will know as soon as he leaves the academy gate. We need to be quick."

Xiang Feifei pulled up the hood and put it on, the wide hood completely covering her small face: "The cloak can't fall off, otherwise Tunying won't be able to cover up, at least not before he dies."

Huo Xiao held two sections of black Xuan wood, each about the length of a thumb. Both sections were engraved with circles of red runes; these were the Demon-Sealing Pillars of the Mechanist.

Within a barrier formed by any two Demon-Sealing Pillars, the use of certain Nine Stream Techniques and Heavenly Secret Techniques will be restricted.

The Demon-Sealing Pillar can be considered an extremely luxurious and rare treasure.

"First, set up the demon-sealing array," Gu Gan said to Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao tossed out two sections of black wood, one to the left and one to the right, circling the hillside and grass in a long, slanted line.

Gu Gan looked towards the sandy area: "Seize the opportunity, it's best to finish it in one go."

Yu Sui rested one hand on the car window, her sleeve sliding up to reveal her fair arm. Two red scorpions fell from her fingertips into the mountainside, heading towards the wind direction of Gu Gan and the others.

The second level of Soul Control allows her to monitor the Five Elements Light Cores on both sides simultaneously.

After reviewing Gu Gan's plan, Yu Sui noticed Mei Liangyu having dinner with Xing Chun and the others. Mei Liangyu had just received news that Wei Kun had left the academy.

Mei Liangyu gracefully put down her chopsticks, stood up and said, "I'm going out for a bit."

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

Mei Liangyu: "Murder."

Xing Chun swallowed a mouthful of rice, then turned to Zhong Lishan and asked, "Has Wei Kun gone out?"

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

"No need." Mei Liangyu left alone.

"I'll go, I'll go!" Kong Yiyi slammed her hand on the table and stood up, but was pulled back down to sit by Nian Qiuyan, who was playing with the wind-listening ruler next to her. "You shouldn't go either. Let Meimei handle it herself."

Kong Yiyi frowned: "He let Wei Kun get away several times!"

“Not this time,” Nian Qiuyan reassured gently. “Let them settle their own grudges.”

Kong Yiyi glared at him: "You're talking as if Wei Kun never tricked me!"

Nian Qiuyan put away the Wind Listening Ruler, picked up some food for her, peeled shrimp shells, and said with a smile, "It's not a loss to let Meimei take revenge. You should eat and drink your fill and get some sleep first. Aren't you cultivating your three bodies recently? There's no need to disrupt your rhythm for Wei Kun."

Kong Yiyi then picked up her chopsticks again.

Mei Liangyu arrived at the academy gate. People were coming and going in front of the gate. Someone handed him a dragonfly from a farmer as he passed by. It could be used to track Wei Kun's whereabouts.

A red dragonfly hovered in the air, covering a thousand miles in an instant, with Mei Liangyu's wind-controlling technique following closely behind.

Sitting in the carriage, Yu Sui rubbed her eyes. This speed was much faster than the night she sparred with her.

Just as Yu Sui entered the bustling outer city, Mei Liangyu caught up with Wei Kun, who was also trying to enter the outer city.

Wei Kun pretended to be heading into the outer city and ran into Mei Liangyu at the entrance where the flow of people was gradually increasing. The street was brightly lit, and the shouts of vendors were mixed with the clanging and banging of blacksmiths hammering iron.

A red dragonfly landed on the white stone archway. Mei Liangyu used his wind-controlling technique to land at the archway entrance and immediately saw Wei Kun standing in front of the blacksmith's open-air workshop.

Wei Kun was tall and robust, unlike the elegant and ethereal figures of the Yin-Yang School; instead, he possessed the sturdy and powerful physique of the Military School. He was constantly on guard, like a mouse scurrying out to steal food, his narrow eyes sharp and his expression vigilant.

The sound of the blacksmith hammering iron added a touch of heat to the night, which was almost summer. The moment Mei Liangyu locked onto him, Wei Kun turned around alertly. When he saw Mei Liangyu under the archway, his expression changed slightly. He cursed under his breath and immediately used his wind-riding technique to run away.

The two began to chase each other in the night, causing the five elements' energy to tremble wherever they went.

Gu Gan, standing by the shallow sea, whispered, "They're here."

Wei Kun ran ahead, weaving through the woods and along the paths. As he disappeared into the shadows, a surge of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, making his expression momentarily ferocious. He glanced at Mei Liangyu, who was relentlessly pursuing him from behind:

Initially, he only had a grudge against Xing Chun at the Yin-Yang School. He couldn't stand Xing Chun's lack of ambition yet his ability to gain favor with the instructors. Therefore, he would speak sarcastically to Xing Chun whenever they met and badmouth him in private.

Xing Chun didn't mind. He was indeed quite easygoing and didn't like to have conflicts with people. If it was about himself, he would tolerate it.

Mei Liangyu was not one to meddle in other people's business, and his friends were not spineless cowards who would only be bullied. Most of the time, they solved their own problems.

However, Wei Kun later developed feelings for Kong Yiyi and did indeed like her to some extent. But Kong Yiyi didn't like him. Wei Kun felt that he had a chance, so he appeared in front of Kong Yiyi every day to fawn over her.

Xing Chun and Kong Yiyi were also dining buddies, eating together during that time. Wei Kun became jealous after seeing this and tried to harm Xing Chun during several trials of the Yin Yang School. Although Xing Chun escaped danger, Wei Kun was thoroughly disliked by Kong Yiyi.

魏坤被孔依依骂是心术不正，阴险歹毒的小人。魏坤被孔依依揍过一次后，因爱生恨，气急之下对孔依依动手，誓要毁她名声，让孔依依明白是她配不上自己，她得回头求自己原谅她。

In short, by using various methods, they managed to offend Xing Chun and Kong Yiyi's group of people.

The reason Wei Kun was targeted by Mei Liangyu was because he wanted to eliminate a competitor of the Yin Yang School. If this person died, no one would compete with him for the opportunity to inscribe the Heavenly Secrets Technique.

Wan Jiang, a disciple of the Yin-Yang School, had just received help from Mei Liangyu and held Mei Liangyu in high esteem. Wei Kun, using Mei Liangyu's name, invited this disciple to the outer city and took the opportunity to eliminate his rival.

It was this incident that made Mei Liangyu want to kill Wei Kun, and he vowed to fight him to the death.

Wei Kun is a man with some ability, but he has a bad character, is petty and vengeful, and his methods are despicable.

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

Because of the murder, he was demoted. Every time he tried to advance back to the first-class disciple level, Mei Liangyu would find an opportunity to stop him, causing his cultivation to stagnate. Even if they met at the academy, Mei Liangyu might beat him up by exploiting the rules.

Anyway, Mei Liangyu isn't afraid of losing points; he gains points very quickly.

Given the speed at which he killed people, he would have been demoted from Grade A to Grade B long ago. However, after Mei Liangyu was penalized, he was able to raise his score back within two days.

Wei Kun was completely baffled. How did this guy increase his score? Could it be because of Saint Chang Gen? The more Wei Kun thought about it, the angrier he became. Wasn't he just relying on having a good master? If it weren't for Saint Chang Gen backing him up, what would Mei Liangyu be?

Having hidden away like a rat for so long, Wei Kun's resentment towards Mei Liangyu had long surpassed that towards Xing Chun and Kong Yiyi.

So when Gu Gan approached him for cooperation, Wei Kun agreed without hesitation. Rather than struggling on his own, he preferred to cooperate with someone else. He was eager to get rid of Mei Liangyu's shadow, but Mei Liangyu had almost cut off all his paths. Now that an opportunity had finally come his way, Wei Kun was determined to seize it.

Tonight, all of this will end!

Just as Wei Kun had made up his mind to say something grand, he saw a flash of blue light out of the corner of his eye, and a thunderous roar struck his heart, causing his pupils to shrink.

Mei Liangyu's figure appeared behind Wei Kun in an instant, and a strong sense of oppression came with the shadow covering him. Wei Kun suddenly accelerated again, using almost all of his Five Elements Qi to activate the Wind Control Technique to escape forward.

Upon seeing this, Yu Sui felt that without the help of Gu Gan and others, Wei Kun would surely die if he faced Mei Liangyu one-on-one.

He himself was aware of this, which is why he avoided Mei Liangyu.

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

Blackbeard and others waited at the entrance to the outer city. People came and went on the street. Yu Sui got off the carriage, raised her hand to press down her hair which was being blown by the night wind, and looked towards the shallow sea as if she had sensed something.

The red scorpions she released were already waiting in the bushes.

The lightning bolts descended from the sky, roaring as they chased after the fleeing Wei Kun. Each lightning bolt that missed its target and struck the ground kicked up sand and gravel, creating a large, scorched crater.

Just as they were about to lure people into the demon-sealing formation, Wei Kun was struck by a lightning serpent and sent flying. He lost his balance in the air, crashed onto the hillside, and rolled to the ground against the mountain wall.

Gu Gan and his two companions in the shadows: "..."

Fortunately, after Mei Liangyu landed using the Wind Control Technique, he walked forward at a leisurely pace and happened to enter the range of the Demon Sealing Array barrier.

Blackbeard said to Yu Sui, "Princess, the shops you specified have already reserved the goods, and they are waiting for you to choose them."

"Let's go." Yu Sui walked along the bustling street, chatting and laughing with Blackbeard, while his second soul kept an eye on the changes at the light core.

There was absolutely no sign of anything unusual.

It wasn't until she discovered that Gu Gan had been holding the wind-listening ruler the whole time that she finally understood why he had chosen to meet on the fifteenth.

The Wind-Listening Ruler is used to deliver messages; all you need to do is learn how to fill in the blanks.

However, if it is to transmit sound, one must learn star positioning. Under the restrictions of the Communication Academy, the Wind Listening Ruler can only be used to transmit sound on the first and fifteenth of each month and the last three days of the month.

Tonight, the fifteenth of the lunar month, the full moon shines brightly.

There are no lampposts or fireflies on this side of the shallow sea, only the cool moonlight, which makes the darkness retreat.

Mei Liangyu was dressed in a dark blue outfit, his eyes were cold and aloof, and his upper body was just in the shadow of the trees, which added a few shadows to his deep and handsome features, making him look cold and stern.

His hair, also a deep blue, blended into his thick black hair, danced in the night breeze, making his tall and straight figure appear as handsome as an immortal from a distance.

Wei Kun clutched his chest and staggered to his feet. He glared fiercely at Mei Liangyu and sneered, "You're like a persistent ghost."

Mei Liangyu lifted her eyelids slightly, glanced around out of the corner of her eye, and said in a playful tone, "You really are a coward."

He scoffed, "Keep running?"

"Run? Why should I run? You're the one who'll be running next." Wei Kun said fiercely, gathering golden five elements energy around him.

Wei Kun also gathered the surrounding night wind, which made the sand and pebbles on the ground shake and make a soft clattering sound. The night wind was like a blade, cutting through branches and grass.

Wei Kun exhaled and said, "Shattering Wind."

Mei Liangyu remained indifferent. As several sharp whirlwinds swirled around him and approached, he said, "Shattering Wind."

The moment the two whirlwinds collided, Wei Kun swayed and took the initiative to attack, intending to first deplete Mei Liangyu's Five Elements Qi.

Yu Sui strolled through the most luxurious and bustling commercial buildings in the outer city, chatting and laughing with the shopkeepers around him while watching the battle taking place in the shallow sea.

This was the first time she had ever seen Mei Liangyu take action.

Shattering Wind is just a technique derived from the Eight Trigrams, so it's not surprising that Wei Kun knows how to use it.

Wei Kun used some Bagua techniques to disrupt his opponent's vision and hearing. After he finished his preparations, Wei Kun quickly formed hand seals the moment he distanced himself from Mei Liangyu.

Seven different blue-purple star lines lined up behind Wei Kun, each star line representing the position of a constellation.

The Nine Schools of Yin-Yang School: The Seven Constellations of Xuanwu.

Seven star lines floated in the sky, like a new world. In this new world, the Void Star Lines materialized and descended to the ground, transforming into a giant python that was entirely white and exuded a thick, cold white mist, and came to Wei Kun's side.

This is the Void Constellation General summoned by Wei Kun using Yin-Yang techniques.

A thin layer of frost covered the sandy ground, but Mei Liangyu showed no panic. With a wave of his hand, seven blue-purple star lines appeared in the sky, forming the constellation of the Black Tortoise of the North.

"Xu Su." With Mei Liangyu's whispered summons, another Xu Su star general transformed into a frost-covered white python and descended to the ground.

The chill brought by the two frost-white pythons turned the seawater that washed onto the beach into icicles.

Wei Kun said sarcastically, "Mei Liangyu, you don't actually possess the Divine Mechanism Technique that can overturn the Nine Schools of Arts, as others have said, do you?"

Mei Liangyu walked forward casually: "The dead should know."

Oh!

Wei Kun sneered, and the two attacked at the same time, their speed comparable to the flash of lightning. Both of them were protected by the Five Elements Qi. When their fists clashed, their Void Star Generals also made some movements.

In a short while, it was clear that Wei Kun was at a disadvantage in his fight with Mei Liangyu. His Five Elements Qi defense was forced to retreat, and when the golden Five Elements Qi was dispersed by Mei Liangyu's punch, Wei Kun formed a hand seal again: Void Stone Condensation!

Wei Kun's Frosty White Python turned around upon being summoned, its vertical pupils gleaming with golden light as it stared at Mei Liangyu, dispelling the Five Elements Qi that was swirling around Mei Liangyu.

Mei Liangyu turned around, her brows furrowing slightly, and said softly, "Xu Su Shi Ning."

His frost-white python lashed out with its tail, blocking Mei Liangyu's path.

The Wind Listening Ruler at Wei Kun's waist glowed faintly, having been in communication with Gu Gan the entire time. At this moment, a deep male voice came from the Wind Listening Ruler: "All laws, break."

The Wind Listening Ruler does not leave any information in the mountains, so unless Yu Sui happens to be listening to the other party's Wind Listening Ruler, he will not be able to obtain the message transmitted from the mountains.

Now, Yu Sui listened to Gu Gan's whisper. The three simple words were imbued with immense Five Elements energy, which materialized into a technique. Its high level of authority allowed it to instantly destroy someone else's lowly technique.

The frost-covered white python blocking Mei Liangyu's path shattered with a loud bang, breaking into countless ice flowers that dissipated into the world. Even the seven Xuanwu star lines suspended in the air shattered along with it.

The sound of shattering came suddenly and was unexpected. Mei Liangyu merely raised an eyebrow, but Wei Kun's icy white python gaze broke through his Five Elements Qi protection in that instant.

The Frost White Python stared intently at Mei Liangyu. When it broke through the protection of the Five Elements Qi, it also restricted Mei Liangyu's movements, freezing him temporarily.

The three people in the shadows made their move at the same time.

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 the hand seals she was forming, yet she had already unleashed the Yin-Yang School's Heavenly Secret Technique, Shadow Devouring.

Darkness devoured the ground and sky, creating a world of only shadows. Everyone else, even the Frost White Python, merged into the darkness, leaving only Mei Liangyu frozen in place.

Within the thick ice, Mei Liangyu only moved her eyes, remaining calm and composed, showing no sign of panic or fear.

This is the fifteen minutes during which it is impossible to summon the Saint of Changgen.

Hidden in the darkness, Wei Kun's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He gripped the curved blade in his hand and struck as the ice made a slight cracking sound. Just as the blade grazed Mei Liangyu's neck, a flash of golden lightning illuminated Wei Kun's shocked face.

Taoist Nine Schools of Arts: Heavenly Gang and Five Thunders.

Ice shards flew everywhere. Mei Liangyu grabbed the curved blade with his bare hands, pressing it against the sharp edge, yet he remained unharmed thanks to the five elements energy in his palm.

Mei Liangyu's dark eyes were filled with darkness, but the flash of golden lightning illuminated Wei Kun's terrified face for a moment.

Damn it, just how many other people's low-level skills does this guy know?!

Wei Kun was horrified and tried to retreat, but the golden lightning flashing beside Mei Liangyu struck him through the curved blade. Wei Kun's newly gathered Five Elements Qi protection was broken again, and he cried out in pain.

Mei Liangyu snatched the curved sword backhand, intending to attack again, when the Listening Wind Ruler on Wei Kun's body emitted a low sound once more: "Break."

The Heavenly Five Thunderbolts were broken once again. A vicious smile flashed in Wei Kun's eyes as he released his grip and disappeared into the darkness. Mei Liangyu reacted quickly, not bothering with Wei Kun. She turned her hand around and repelled Xiang Feifei, who had emerged from the darkness and attempted to attack from behind.

Xiang Feifei once again disappeared into the darkness, taking turns with Wei Kun to wear down Mei Liangyu.

When Mei Liangyu unleashed the Taoist Five Thunderbolts again, Gu Gan uttered a single word to dispel it.

Yu Sui, standing by the window of the shopping mall, raised an eyebrow, finding it interesting.

People were coming and going downstairs. Blackbeard was telling the bosses to load the goods onto the carriages. Yu Sui looked at the battle in the distance and pondered Gu Gan's abilities.

It's not the nine schools of Legalism, but rather the School of Names. However, none of the nine schools of Names can be visualized and performed through the sound transmission of the Wind Listening Ruler.

Did he see through Mei Liangyu's use of other people's Nine-Style Techniques, or was it his own Nine-Style Techniques ability?

Mei Liangyu's Nine Streams Techniques were broken several times in a row, and were eliminated as soon as they were used. Currently, there are only three figures in the Shadow Devourer: one of them is Wei Kun.

The second one is very familiar with the rules of Shadow Swallowing.

Unlike the first two, the third one doesn't frequently appear and disappear unpredictably. Instead, he seeks out opportunities to strike decisively and ruthlessly.

Mei Liangyu had fought against these three people at the same time, which means that someone else eliminated his Nine-Style Technique.

There is a fourth person.

Yu Sui carefully observed Gu Gan's side. He was actually also within the range of the Shadow Devouring. In the giant dark space, only Mei Liangyu was excluded from the shadows, as if he were the dazzling full moon that the darkness could not devour.

Gu Gan kept a close eye on Mei Liangyu's every move, seemingly wanting to eliminate Mei Liangyu's Nine-Style Techniques so that he could not participate in the battle at the same time.

Yu Sui noticed that when Gu Gan cleared Mei Liangyu's Nine Schools of Arts several times, he did not stir up the slightest bit of the Five Elements Qi.

Any technique of the ninth class will have fluctuations in the five elements. Gu Gan can cover this up by using the Wind Listening Ruler to transmit his voice.

This was to cover up the fact that he could use the Divine Mechanism Technique, which did not require the Five Elements.

When Yu Sui confirmed that this was the Divine Mechanism Technique, she pressed down on the Wind Listening Ruler in her hand and glanced at Mei Liangyu, whose Five Elements Qi protection had been broken once again because the Nine Streams Technique was always being cleared.

Mei Liangyu fought three opponents alone, and although he managed to stay calm, he was still seriously injured. Wei Kun had the strongest killing intent and was the easiest to sense.

The other two, one of whom should be the master of the Shadow Devourer, are able to come and go freely.

The third one conceals its aura the deepest; whether it's killing intent, fighting spirit, or the five elements' energy, it's very difficult to detect.

Wei Kun took the lead, drawing Mei Liangyu's attention, while Xiang Feifei launched another attack from behind. The Frost White Python's eyes flashed with golden light, and it flicked its scarlet tongue to bite Mei Liangyu.

Mei Liangyu was struck hard by the Frost Python, his shoulder covered in blood. The flying frost cut through his clothes like blades, leaving bloody marks and even severing a piece of his hairband.

But he steadied himself and kicked Wei Kun away. With a swift movement of his feet using the Wind Control Technique, he grabbed Xiang Feifei's hand holding the sword blade and snapped it in two. Xiang Feifei, however, slipped away like an eel and disappeared into the darkness.

Xiang Feifei covered her still injured right hand, somewhat annoyed.

The next instant, golden light flashed again, and Taoist heavenly lightning descended. Gu Gan opened his mouth and said, "Break!"

Yu Sui severed the connection between himself and Wei Kun's Listening Ruler the moment he opened his mouth.

Gu Gan failed to stop the Nine-Style Technique, and Huo Xiao, who trusted him, thus entered the range of Mei Liangyu's Golden Lightning attack. Mei Liangyu then used Golden Lightning to send Huo Xiao flying with a flick of his wrist.

What's going on?!

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

Yu Sui, who was standing in front of the shop window, tilted her head and smiled.

Xiang Feifei was about to rescue Huo Xiao when Mei Liangyu seized the opportunity. Amidst flashes of golden lightning, the darkness within the Shadow Devouring Space was dispelled, briefly illuminating the entire space.

Unable to use the darkness to escape, Mei Liangyu had already realized during the previous fight that Xiang Feifei was the master of the Shadow Devourer. So he used Shadow Strike to catch up, blocking Xiang Feifei's path and forcing her to fight. The dagger in her hand flashed with a silvery light, reflecting the man's cold eyes.

Isn't it supposed to be able to stop his low-level techniques?

Xiang Feifei was surprised to find something wrong, and her movements slowed down for a moment. Mei Liangyu's speed was far superior to hers, and Xiang Feifei was caught by Mei Liangyu's attack wrist again. This time, she couldn't escape. The moment her hand was broken, she bit her lip hard and was instantly covered in sweat.

The pale blue lightning snake twisted into intricate runes and crawled up Xiang Feifei's arm, her expression turning horrified upon seeing it.

The life-saving talisman of the Ghost Daoist!

Because of the excruciating pain from her broken hand, beads of sweat dripped down Xiang Feifei's chin. Mei Liangyu didn't even bother to lift her hat to see who she was; she was going to die anyway.

[Author's Note]

Thank you so much for your support! I will continue to work hard!
