Chapter 253 Let's go directly to meet up with the Nine Capital Guards!
Wan Qi alone drew most of the Taixu Hall's firepower, and no one managed to chase them to the pond to disturb the standoff between Xiang Feifei and Yu Sui.
Neither of them dissipated their Xuanwu Star Formation.
Countless tiny black serpents coiled around the pillars, staring intently in Yu Sui's direction, ready to pounce.
The Frost Serpent's tail coiled around Yu Sui, its head poking out from the corridor, looking down at Xiang Feifei, who was hiding behind the Nether Serpent.
In the previous exchange, although Xiang Feifei learned that her opponent possessed a star sea of three thousand stars, it was only a fleeting glimpse. She was still somewhat unwilling to give up and wanted to try again.
With forces exerted from both sides simultaneously, the temperature above the pond plummeted, and two streams of ice, one black and one white, covered the water's surface, quickly freezing everything.
The verdant pines and the delicate red lotuses were all swallowed up by the black and white frost, turning the world into black and white, each subtly vying with the other.
Both were comparing their control over the five elements. As star generals in the Xuanwu Star Array, they both possessed the power to freeze all things with ice. At this moment, it was a matter of who had a more precise control over the five elements, and who could devour the other's star general and freeze him.
Xiang Feifei focused intently on the confrontation, while the Five Elements Light Core within her body was also rapidly circulating. Unfortunately, she was bitten by the Frost Serpent, and the power of ice invaded her body through the wound, the biting coldness reaching straight to her soul.
Xiang Feifei's Five Elements Light Core has already reached the Ninth Realm.
Yu Sui's Five Elements Light Core is at the sixth realm, so there is still a gap.
However, if it comes to the five elements, her power overflows. Although it is not as strong as the ninth realm, it has the advantage of quantity and is not afraid of long-term consumption.
Because she has thousands of Five Elements Light Cores, while others only have one.
However, Xiang Feifei could not afford to engage in a prolonged contest of the five elements, especially while injured.
Black and White Frost were evenly matched, but her condition was much worse than Yu Sui's. Her temples were soaked with cold sweat, her body temperature dropped rapidly, and her hands and feet were icy cold. Just as that chill was about to spread to her heart, Xiang Feifei finally couldn't hold on any longer and gave up.
The white frost, accompanied by the sound of shattering ice, pressed forward, freezing and pulverizing all the black serpents along its path. Only after freezing and crushing the black mist blocking Xiang Feifei's way did the black and white scene dissipate, and the lights in the pool illuminated all things with color.
Just as Xiang Feifei's Nether Serpent was broken, the people from Taixu Hall came chasing after her.
Yu Sui and Xiang Feifei left the corridor at the same time. Xiang Feifei ran out of Taixu Hall, while Yu Sui thought for a moment and decided to go find Wan Qi first.
With pursuers on both sides, Xiang Feifei skillfully evaded the chase by using the Heavenly Secret Technique to swallow shadows.
The Shadow Devouring Technique was the most refined and effective Heavenly Secret Technique she had ever used. Even if the opponent's cultivation level was higher than hers, it would be difficult to detect them once they merged into the darkness.
Unless it is in a space without a single shadow.
Under the cover of the Shadow Swallower, Xiang Feifei reached the top of the corridor and moved quickly, blending into the shadows of the surrounding buildings.
Unexpectedly, the Frost Serpent did not help its master. Instead, it unleashed its icy power around the corridor, freezing everything and forcing the Taixu Hall sorcerers who were pursuing it to use their wind-riding techniques to take to the air.
Even the shadows on the ground were frozen. The shimmering white light emitted by the frost made the shadows of everything much fainter, thus making the moving black shadow seem both suspicious and obvious.
"It's the Yin-Yang School's Heavenly Secret Technique, Shadow Devouring!"
"Stop them there!"
The sorcerers of Taixu Hall quickly noticed Xiang Feifei, who was hiding in the Shadow Devourer.
Forced out of the Shadow Devouring Realm, Xiang Feifei staggered onto the roof and looked back in disbelief.
Her dark eyes reflected Yu Sui standing on the top of the corridor. Although the black robe made her look like a ghost wrapped in a black cloak, Xiang Feifei was still certain that the person under the robe was looking at her, and those eyes must have been filled with a malicious gaze.
After confirming that Xiang Feifei had been knocked out of the Shadow Devouring Realm, Yu Sui used the Wind Riding Technique to teleport away, and the other group of people also chased after her.
Instead of running away himself, he wanted to force me out before he would stop!
While cursing wildly in her mind, Xiang Feifei moved quickly to avoid being caught by the people from Taixu Hall.
Four or five people followed Yu Sui; they were all experts from the Taixu Hall, either at the eighth or ninth realm.
An eighth-realm military strategist drew his sword and slashed several sword energies at Yu Sui. Yu Sui used the Wind Riding Technique to move forward, and sensing the sword energies pursuing from behind, he turned around and drew his sword from the void.
She stopped on the roof, turned around, and held her sword horizontally to block the sword energy and the Taixu Hall sorcerer who was chasing her.
After repelling the enemy with sword energy, Yu Sui pressed the pad of his right hand against the blade and drew a spell from his fingertip onto the blade before swinging his sword again.
The sword energy scattered, and the five people easily dodged it, flying towards Yu Sui. However, the Zhou Tian Fire attached to the sword energy suddenly burst into flames.
The sudden burst of sparks and the heat wave that burned the skin caused the five people who were about to approach Yu Sui to quickly retreat and scatter.
Yu Sui witnessed the Thunder Arrow exploding and was now putting his newfound knowledge to use.
But she didn't intend to fight these people head-on. They had the upper hand in numbers, and besides, if the fight dragged on any longer, the elder trapped in the attic would have to come out soon.
Taking advantage of the moment when the sword energy burst, Yu Sui flashed away and used the Instant Concealment Talisman to hide himself in the darkness.
This trick was learned from Wen Yanghui.
When traveling, it's always good to bring some unexpected and unusual items.
The third Thunder Arrow shot by Gu Gan exploded and burned down the entire pavilion.
Some people went to stop the fire from spreading, while others went to chase Wan Qi.
Those who pursued Wan Qi were mostly eighth and ninth realm sorcerers, with only one supervisor being an eleventh realm sorcerer.
This Supervisor Su was having a headache over Wan Qi, who was surrounded.
The situation seemed to be in their favor, as they had trapped the enemy. Wan Qi was struggling to dodge and tried several times to find an opening to break through, but he always retreated.
Supervisor Su tried to subdue the person several times, but failed each time.
This black protective aura is quite unique.
The protective aura he burns is much larger than that of an ordinary person, the range of the protective aura is expanded, and the ability to consume it is also stronger.
Many low-level techniques struck Wan Qi, but they were all neutralized by his protective aura and could not harm him in the slightest.
The ninth-level military strategist who was currently fighting Wan Qi was strong and powerful. His curved sword was incredibly skillful, and his sword energy had already cut down several flowering trees nearby, but he couldn't even cut a single hair on Wan Qi's head.
Some peasant sorcerers took the opportunity to release insects and beasts to poison the land, but Wan Qi used his medical skills to neutralize them all.
Manager Su cursed inwardly after seeing it, "I've never seen such a third-rate sorcerer!"
Relying on protective energy to resist injury and poison, Manager Su actually sensed a hint of cheating in this fighting style.
Supervisor Su said threateningly, "His protective aura can resist injury and poison, but he hasn't taken the initiative to attack. First, get close and find an opportunity to take off his black wind robe, let him show his true colors and see which family's bastard he is!"
So several sorcerers with strong physical skills fought with Wan Qi, punching and kicking him. Wan Qi could only parry, and although he was in a very bad state when receiving the attacks, he managed to block them all.
Yu Sui watched from the shadows as Wan Qi was surrounded and attacked. A punch that seemed to have the force of a thousand pounds landed on his head, but his protective aura seemed to have a strange suction force that absorbed all the force of the punch, leaving only a dent in his head.
With Wanqi's breathing exercises, it quickly returned to normal.
Yu Sui was also quite curious about how Wan Qi cultivated, as his protective aura seemed capable of withstanding any attack in the world.
Perhaps it was because the black robe completely concealed Wan Qi, giving others the impression that Wan Qi was handling the situation with great ease.
However, Wan Qi had already cursed countless times in his heart, and even begged for mercy from Supervisor Su and the others, but he dared not utter a sound for fear of revealing his identity as an academy disciple.
Wan Qi appeared calm on the surface, but was actually very anxious and struggling to cope.
He was afraid that Elder Zong hadn't died in the attic, and that the old man might come out...
What you fear most is what happens.
Elder Zong emerged from the inferno with Zhao Feiluo, his face contorted with rage. Looking at his burned-down pavilion, he twitched with anger and roared, "Where is he?!"
The sound waves spread out and were amplified by the Taixu Hall's megaphones to various places.
Manager Su hurriedly said, "Master! They're here! We've caught one!"
Wanqi felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing these words.
Yu Sui could let Wan Qi die here; that was her plan before.
However, Wan Qi's initiative to cover the rear, along with his strange protective aura, made her change her mind.
As Supervisor Su opened his mouth to reply, Yu Sui used the same trick again, his sword energy carrying Zhou Tianhuo as he attacked. The fire dragon flew into the crowd and exploded with a bang, its power immense.
Faced with a huge impact, people instinctively want to avoid it.
Wan Qi was also startled, but luckily he heard a familiar voice say to him, "Let's go."
The two managed to escape in the chaos before Elder Zong arrived.
"Who?!" Manager Su exclaimed angrily, "Who set off the Zhou Tian Fire! How come everyone is running away with their heads in their hands because of a mere Bagua Shengshu!"
He berated the others with exasperation, but they dared not speak out. Their speechless glances seemed to say: "You were the one who led the way in avoiding Zhou Tianhuo!"
"Hall Master"
Upon seeing Elder Zong approaching from the attic, Supervisor Su immediately dropped his tirade and became respectful: "We have indeed apprehended the man..."
Before he could even offer an explanation, someone rushed over and said, "Master! Consul Zhao, Supervisor Su! Something terrible has happened! People from Taiyi Academy have arrived, claiming to be from the Taiyi Ninth Capital Guard. They're blocking our main gate, shouting that they want to come in and put out the fire for our Taixu Hall!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Zong lost interest in dwelling on Tun Ying Zhen Feng Lei and the two men in black robes. Was the arrival of people from the academy a coincidence or had he received some kind of information?
"Who is the leader of the Nine Capital Guards?" Elder Zong asked in a deep voice.
The messenger replied, "I saw on the armband that it says Mei Liangyu is a disciple of the Ghost Daoist School of Taiyi Academy."
Upon hearing this name, Elder Zong couldn't help but frown, quickly considering the events of the evening.
Mei Liangyu, a disciple of Chang Gen of the Ghost Path Holy Hall, used to hang out in the outer city quite a bit, and they had dealt with each other before. This kid does things his own way, is unruly and difficult to deal with.
He saw that Taixu Hall was on fire, so it wasn't something he wouldn't do to come and watch the spectacle.
It's unclear whether Mei Liangyu was simply there to watch the spectacle, or...
Elder Zong quickly made a decision: "Tell him there's no need, the fire at Taixu Hall has already been extinguished."
He turned around and said to Supervisor Su with a gloomy expression, "Find all the rats that came in tonight."
Supervisor Su shuddered and nodded quickly.
Elder Zong then said, "Go and bring out Yue Shu's body."
He had a bad feeling.
This matter is unlikely to be resolved easily tonight.
Wan Qi cautiously followed Yu Sui, stepping on the shadows to get away from the crowd. He didn't dare to breathe loudly. The courtyard, which had been quiet before, was now very lively, and the people coming and going made him feel like he was suffocating.
Without the Instant Invisibility Talisman, the two of them really wouldn't have been able to get out.
Thinking of this, Wan Qi couldn't help but look at Yu Sui walking beside her: "Did you foresee this?"
"Of course not!" Yu Sui looked up towards the entrance of Taixu Hall. "I was just improvising."
Wanqi couldn't help but say, "Didn't we agree to leave quietly once we confirmed that everyone was here?"
"Oh dear!" Yu Sui slapped her forehead. "I forgot."
Wan Qi: "You forgot?!"
Yu Sui said, "I forgot to take Yue Shu's body with me, otherwise how would it count as a bonus for both of us?"
Wan Qi was on the verge of collapse: "Do you think this is the important thing? They were just plotting something..."
Yu Sui made a shushing gesture.
Wan Qi: "I can't see!"
Yu Sui could only say, "Keep your voice down, or someone will find out."
Wan Qi raised his hand to wipe his face, composed himself, and sighed, "The academy has sent people, but I heard that the Nine Capital Guards arrived first. The Nine Capital Guards are fine too; the people there are among the top in our academy. The key point is that they are definitely not afraid of the gangs in the outer city, so we don't need to be afraid. Our reinforcements have arrived."
He rallied his spirits and reassured himself, "Yes, let's go through the main gate and head straight to meet up with the Ninth Capital Guard!"
Yu Sui did not stop him. Through the Five Elements Light Core, she had already seen the Nine Capital Guards standing outside the Taixu Hall with imposing manner, as well as Mei Liangyu standing at the very front.
