Chapter 45 Senior Brother, I'm so afraid you'll die
If Gu Gan doesn't take action soon, Xiang Feifei will have all her five elements and life force drained by the Life-Giving Talisman, turning her into a twisted human skin talisman.
Time is running out for them.
Gu Gan instantly appeared behind Mei Liangyu.
Legalist judgment method: death by a thousand cuts.
The sound of bursting wind rang in Mei Liangyu's ears, and countless tiny wind blades desperately tried to burrow into his skin, completely ignoring his Five Elements Qi protection.
In the instant he tried to stop her, Gu Gan grabbed Xiang Feifei's hand and pulled her back. However, Mei Liangyu risked having his hands shattered by the wind blades and used lightning snakes to bind Xiang Feifei in the blood mist.
The exploding wind blades tore through the flesh of Mei Liangyu's palm, the wounds so deep that bone was visible, but he did not hesitate for a moment, determined not to give up this opportunity to break through the Shadow Devourer.
Both the lightning bolt and the golden lightning struck Xiang Feifei simultaneously. Gu Gan picked Xiang Feifei up in his arms, and although he protected her immediately, he and Xiang Feifei were still sent flying by the golden lightning and fell into the darkness.
Xiang Feifei coughed up blood and collapsed into Gu Gan's arms, unable to maintain her Shadow Devouring ability any longer.
As the darkness receded and the moonlight shone again on the sand and stones on the ground, Gu Gan felt a tightness in his chest and paused in his movement to get up.
Taoist Heavenly Thunder is no ordinary ninth-rate technique; it's a Taoist celestial technique. Even taking a single hit from it would be enough to hurt him, let alone Xiang Feifei.
Mei Liangyu's mastery of the Nine Schools of Arts was somewhat beyond his imagination.
Yu Sui shared the same view on this point. It seemed that Mei Liangyu was proficient in all sorts of low-level arts, and not only low-level arts, but also celestial secrets.
It's hard to imagine if it weren't for the copying.
If it's about copying, why didn't he copy Xiang Feifei's Shadow Swallowing earlier?
Yu Sui felt a little regretful. He had been trying to confirm Gu Gan's Divine Strategist Technique, but he had forgotten about Mei Liangyu. However, it wasn't over yet. The Demon-Sealing Barrier over there hadn't been used yet, so Gu Gan and the others should still have some tricks up their sleeves.
Gu Gan lowered his eyes and saw Xiang Feifei in his arms, covered in sweat, vomiting blood, unconscious, and with a pale and pitiful appearance. He couldn't help but feel angry.
Xiang Feifei is usually strong and lively, but now that she is injured, she shows her delicate side, which makes people feel even more sorry for her.
Out of the corner of his eye, Gu Gan suddenly spotted a red scorpion hiding in the grass, and his heart skipped a beat.
A communication beast belonging to a farmer?
who?
Is it Cangshu?
Could the unexpected incident with the Wind-Listening Ruler just now have been caused by Cang Shu, a disciple of the Farmer Clan who was hiding behind the scenes?
Yu Sui sat in the carriage, resting her chin on her hand as she looked outside. She smiled and thought that Gu Gan had finally discovered the communication beast she had left there.
The Farmhouse Sound Transmission Beast can indeed interfere with the sound transmission of the Wind Listening Ruler, something Yu Sui knew when he was researching the Wind Listening Ruler.
When Gu Gan emphasized that the operation should take place on the fifteenth, Yu Sui thought of the Wind Listening Ruler's ability to transmit sound, but she was not sure. She simply had Wei Ren give it to Red Scorpion as a precaution. She also couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't use the power to control the Wind Listening Ruler while watching the battle.
By manipulating the power of the Wind Listening Ruler, she had revealed some information to Gu Gan. If there were any anomalies related to the Wind Listening Ruler, Gu Gan would definitely suspect her first.
Yu Sui always needs to find some cover for himself to avoid trouble.
"It's quite rare to be able to cultivate Shadow Swallowing to this level." Mei Liangyu walked towards Gu Gan and Xiang Feifei. "There aren't many people like this in the Yin Yang School, so it's not too difficult to find one."
Mei Liangyu wasn't in much better shape either. When he was struck by the Frost White Python, his left shoulder was soaked in blood, and when the ice shattered, it also cut his neck and face.
While Razer held Feifei by the neck and wouldn't let go, she fought Gu Gan's Judgment Technique of Lingchi head-on. Now both of her hands were covered in blood, with blood dripping continuously, and the rolled-up flesh revealed the stark white bones.
When Yu Sui glanced at Mei Liangyu's hands, she sighed inwardly, thinking how painful they looked.
Even if Mei Liangyu is a disciple of the Ghost Daoist school, and killing him would require shattering his three souls with an attack, the pain from the physical injury is still real.
Mei Liangyu remained unfazed, as if he felt no pain, but his dark eyes swept over the people present with a hint of coldness.
Gu Gan withdrew his gaze from the red scorpion, using a disguise to make his voice indistinguishable as male or female: "You won't have a chance to find it."
That's what he said, but the appearance of the red scorpion sent a chill down his spine.
Could it be that someone is watching nearby?
Huo Xiao, who was behind him, staggered to his feet, formed a hand seal, and activated the Demon-Sealing Barrier. The white barrier unfolded, drawing a circle on the ground, trapping Mei Liangyu inside.
After activating the barrier, Huo Xiao clutched his shoulder, his brows furrowed.
He was caught off guard by Jin Lei's blow, and his injuries were not much worse than Xiang Feifei's.
They clearly held an absolute advantage in the Shadow Devouring Realm, but the opponent turned the tide in an instant.
“A demon-sealing barrier, crafted by a mechanical sorcerer.” Mei Liangyu paused, glancing up at the black wood fixed at both ends, a playful smile on his face. “It seems you don’t know this yet.”
"Go to hell!" Wei Kun struggled to his feet, leaning against the mountain wall. Half of his face was bloodshot, some of it his own, some of Mei Liangyu's. At this moment, the Frost White Python coiled around the Demon-Sealing Barrier, its head held high, looking down at Mei Liangyu below.
Wei Kun was filled with murderous intent and boundless rage. Time was of the essence, and he had no intention of wasting words with Mei Liangyu. The strength Mei Liangyu displayed terrified him, as if he was uncontrollable and capable of turning the tide no matter what dire straits he faced.
For example, being trapped in the Shadow Devourer, or being trapped in the Demon Sealing Barrier.
This sense of oppression made him feel utterly desperate, and his fighting spirit instantly vanished.
Wei Kun could not accept it. Driven by fear and murderous intent, he wanted Mei Liangyu to die here!
At its master's command, the Frost Python roared and moved with incredible speed, attempting to bite off Mei Liangyu's head. Gu Gan remained vigilant and once again used the Judgment Technique to slowly slice through Mei Liangyu's body.
Mei Liangyu, trapped within the Demon-Sealing Barrier, could not possibly use the Heavenly Secrets Technique!
He can't stop him!
That's what everyone thinks.
Yu Sui saw Mei Liangyu standing motionless with a calm expression. Her senior brother's composure and disdain for the Frost White Python made her feel that this person would not just let her die here.
A fleeting look of belligerence flashed in Mei Liangyu's eyes, giving him a momentary air of wickedness.
The physician's pupil technique enters the heart through the eyes.
The white python's body and large mouth descended rapidly, but in the instant it met Mei Liangyu's gaze, it turned back. Before Wei Kun could react and his face was still contorted with ferocity and murderous intent, it suddenly turned around and bit Wei Kun without hesitation.
What! ?
Gu Gan and Huo Xiao looked up in disbelief. Wei Kun had just shown a hint of confusion when the frost-covered white python, with its head raised, had already bitten him and swallowed him whole.
Blood splattered and spilled onto the sandy ground, seeping in.
How is that possible? How could he possibly possess the medical family's pupil technique!
Gu Gan's eyes trembled as he looked at Mei Liangyu.
Mei Liangyu raised his hand to protect his neck, preventing the danger of being sliced in two by the wind blades. Soon, the Frost White Python angrily twisted and whipped its tail, crushing one of the Xuan Wood and breaking the Demon Sealing Barrier.
As soon as the demon-sealing barrier broke, Gu Gan acted decisively, immediately carrying Xiang Feifei to cover Huo Xiao's retreat. He learned a lesson tonight, having underestimated Mei Liangyu.
The time for Saint Changgen has also come. Even if Mei Liangyu is pushed to the brink again, Saint Changgen may still interrupt him.
Gu Gan wanted to run, and Mei Liangyu wanted to chase after him.
Three black figures gradually disappeared into the distance in the jungle, each moving at a high speed, as if all their strength was being used to execute the Wind Control Technique.
Gu Gan, having covered Huo Xiao's retreat and handed Xiang Feifei over to him, fell to the back. Mei Liangyu had just caught up with him when he was forced back by the Judgment Technique, while the Lingchi Wind Blades continued to pursue him.
Blackbeard personally escorted Yu Sui back to the academy. The carriage drove out of the bustling outer city, passed under the stone and jade archway, and headed towards Taiyi Academy along the surrounding forest.
Yu Sui lifted the carriage curtain to look outside, her expression thoughtful. If they went this way, it seemed they would encounter Gu Gan and the others who were retreating.
Gu Gan and his group had already retreated from the shallow sea area, crossed the jungle, and arrived at the dense forest near the main road.
Mei Liangyu, who was in pursuit, suddenly stopped and slowed down.
He frowned slightly and clicked his tongue softly.
The other families used the Nine Streams Techniques too frequently, and they were all high-level Nine Streams Techniques or Heavenly Secrets Techniques. This caused the Five Elements Qi to become disordered, and even breathing caused his nerves to twitch.
The reason we couldn't kill Wei Kun before was because that kid was too good at running away. He might not be able to beat him in a fight, but he was definitely good at escaping.
Moreover, Wei Kun knew from the beginning that he couldn't beat Mei Liangyu in a one-on-one fight, so he never thought of fighting him. Every time he was discovered in the outer city, he would turn around and run away, desperately running towards the academy.
This time, Wei Kun tried to join forces with Gu Gan instead of running away, but was caught off guard by Mei Liangyu.
The goal for today was to kill Wei Kun; the others weren't in a hurry.
Mei Liangyu stopped using the Wind Control Technique and instead walked forward slowly.
Gu Gan suddenly noticed that the people chasing him had slowed down. He thought it was a trap, so he turned around to observe for a moment and suddenly realized that the five elements were in disarray.
Even Mei Liangyu, who cultivated the three souls and six spirits of the Ghost Daoist, could not stop the pain brought about by the reversal of the five elements.
There's a chance!
Gu Gan turned around and decisively turned back to fight again.
Mei Liangyu had already emerged from the dense forest and was standing under the moonlight. A fine carriage was approaching from a distance on the main road, moving at a speed comparable to that of the Wind Control Technique, and it quickly drew near.
Yu Sui leaned against the car window and saw Mei Liangyu standing in the moonlight. She sat up and exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Brother!"
The word "senior brother" successfully stopped Gu Gan. He hid in the shadows and looked towards the roadside in shock.
Hearing Yu Sui's shout and seeing Mei Liangyu in the dense forest beside the road, the carriage driven by Blackbeard immediately stopped.
Mei Liangyu blinked slowly, his heart clenching with pain. His gaze was fixed on Yu Sui, who hurriedly stepped down from the carriage. When she saw him, she raised her hand to cover her mouth in surprise, her almond-shaped eyes glistening with tears, as if she had been frightened.
"Senior brother? How did you get injured like this?" Yu Sui was both anxious and bewildered, running over breathlessly. "Did you get into a fight with someone?"
Mei Liangyu had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, but he still pretended to be calm and collected, as if to say that although he was covered in blood, he was not in any pain. He even asked Yu Sui casually, "What are you holding in your hand?"
Yu Sui looked down and realized that she had also taken down 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 Liangyu thought to himself, "That's great. Some people are fighting to the death in the outer city, while others are showering money on the ground in the outer city."
Gu Gan stared at the two people standing together, feeling a surge of anger welling up inside him, an anger he couldn't shake off.
"Senior brother, hurry up and get on the carriage. I'll take you to the doctor's house. I'm so afraid you'll die," Yu Sui said, looking at Mei Liangyu with worried eyes.
Mei Liangyu looked down into her watery eyes and suddenly felt that meeting this junior sister wasn't so bad.
Hidden in the shadows, Gu Gan watched as Yu Sui helped Mei Liangyu onto the carriage. Blackbeard even sped up so as not to delay Mei Liangyu's injuries.
Gu Gan's eyes burned with rage that seemed to set the entire dense forest beside the road ablaze. Why?
Why is it that I have to use the Wind Riding Technique to get back, while that brat Mei Liangyu can ride back in a carriage with Sui Sui!
This cunning man even dared to deceive Sui Sui!
