Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Accomplice

Tong Hui’s face was pale, her pair of pitch-black eyes fixed on Baiyu, blood continuously seeping from the corners of her mouth: “You… despicable.”

“No, your double standards are really amusing. You designed a trap against me and failed, and now you turn around to call me despicable.” Baiyu rolled his eyes, “Looking at your infuriated appearance, I guess attacking from the outside is the key to breaking this barrier. Now I’m wondering how many of Jiang Gan and their attacks you can withstand?”

Tong Hui’s face changed dramatically, the determination in her eyes intensified: “Die!”

She had no other choice now.

She had to quickly kill Baiyu or turn him into a Moon Prisoner, so she could have a chance to escape.

By then, with no evidence left, whatever happens would be her own matter to deal with.

The young woman shouted.

Blood Qi Burst, and a fierce punch came forth.

Stronger than before by not just one or two levels.

At this moment, Baiyu dared not be careless. He tightly gripped the Great Guan Blade, Blood Qi surged forth, and with a horizontal slash. A violent gust of wind ripped through the air with a tearing sound, instantly slicing Tong Hui in half.

This time her recovery was much slower.

And the attacks from the outside masters like Jiang Gan became her death knell.

“The Black Moon Secret Technique this person cultivates is really peculiar, she completely practiced it into a fringe path, so her weaknesses are frighteningly numerous. Now we just have to hold out for this period.”

Cang Yan said in his mind.

Of course, Baiyu could also see it.

Tong Hui was merely making a desperate attempt. There was already a gap between the two. Now that he steadied his mind, the opponent had basically no way out.

Fight, counterattack, fight, counterattack.

Time passed second by second.

A crackling sound was heard, like an eggshell breaking.

The surrounding black mist slowly dissipated, cracks covered the black screen, and in the next second, the screen shattered.

Tong Hui’s face was pale.

A fleeting look of terror in her eyes, she saw a large blade chopping down at her.

Boom, clang!

This strike missed.

Baiyu’s gaze coldly fixed on the opposite side, the psychological counselor from Xuanji City, Liang Yun, the female instructor, caught Tong Hui in time, pulling her aside to avoid the fatal blow.

“No matter what happened, wait for us to understand first before taking action, Baiyu, don’t be impulsive.”

Liang Yun grabbed Tong Hui.

While it looked like she was controlling her, in reality, she was protecting her.

If Baiyu wanted to make a direct move, he would definitely be stopped.

Jiang Gan’s eyes swept around, his gaze landing on the lines on the walls and floor, he frowned and said in a cold voice: “In that case, let’s take her back for interrogation first.”

It can be basically determined that there was a problem with Tong Hui.

However.

The entire sequence of events still needs to be interrogated clearly.

…

On the first floor of the hotel, in a temporarily cleaned room.

Tong Hui, due to her severe injuries, was in a semi-comatose state, making it impossible for the teaching teams from three cities to interrogate her.

Baiyu told Jiang Gan and others everything he knew.

Of course.

He did not divulge the knowledge Cang Yan conveyed about the Black Moon. He merely mentioned how Tong Hui spied and attacked him, and so on.

This was indeed the truth.

At present, interrogation could only wait for Tong Hui to wake up.

After arranging the guarding of Tong Hui, the teacher teams from three cities dispersed, and Baiyu was also placed in the neighboring room, as both he and Tong Hui were now key monitoring targets.

“Baiyu, it’s very possible that Tong Hui has accomplices, otherwise, it wouldn’t be such a coincidence that she happens to be staying next door to you.” Cang Yan analyzed in his mind.

Baiyu nodded.

He had thought of this matter a few days ago, and now it just needed verification.

He opened the chat box on his phone.

Gan Yuhan sent him a message as instructed: “I asked our principal, the person responsible for the hotel accommodations is Xuanji City’s teacher Liang Yun.”

It was indeed Liang Yun.

Baiyu clapped his hands.

The behavior of Liang Yun earlier made sense now.

The counterpart was likely someone behind Tong Hui, but probably not a Black Moon Apostle.

According to Cang Yan.

Black Moon Apostles can kill each other and seize abilities.

It would be difficult for two Black Moon Apostles to cooperate.

…

As the night deepened.

Due to the Ice Skin Jade Bone Skill, Baiyu did not need sleep, only needing an hour of deep sleep every thirty-six hours.

He felt that ever since he emerged from Tong Hui’s Celestial Erosion Barrier, there had been inexplicable changes in him.

But after checking carefully, he found nothing.

Tap, tap, tap.

At this time, clear footsteps were heard in the corridor outside.

It was already two o’clock in the morning.

Except for the teachers guarding Tong Hui, most people were already asleep. Baiyu remembered there should be at least four teachers guarding outside.

Generally, a school’s teachers are Tier Eight Martial Artists.

Some who excel particularly in theoretical courses might be weaker, but none would fall below the level of a Tier Nine Martial Artist.

Thus, four teachers guarding Tong Hui’s room.

At the slightest disturbance, they would immediately issue a warning, and masters like Jiang Gan would arrive instantly, making the security level enough to confine a student.

Even if that student transformed, they could be instantly cut down.

However.

With four muffled groans as they fell to the floor, Baiyu became alert.

He was still arranged to be next to Tong Hui’s room.

Due to the incident, both Tong Hui and Baiyu were under close observation, with those four teachers not only monitoring Tong Hui but also ensuring Baiyu’s safety.

At this moment, Baiyu’s room remained dark and silent.

All was still.

Baiyu sat on a chair, his hand tightly gripping the gun handle, quietly listening to the movements next door.

Someone coming to rescue?

This thought crossed his mind as he heard the sound of a lock being undone at the neighboring door.

Indeed, someone was coming to rescue Tong Hui.

Baiyu’s eyes gleamed slightly as he drew out another phone from his pocket, displaying the scene from Tong Hui’s room.

Monitor 007.

A good thing obtained from Erza, a military-use monitor, both concealed and practical.

A woman entered Erza’s room.

Even with a mask, it was still apparent that the woman was Liang Yun.

“Knew you had a problem.”

Baiyu’s eyes flickered, almost without hesitation, he sent the footage to Jiang Gan.

It was nighttime.

Jiang Gan might not react so quickly.

It was uncertain what method Liang Yun used to incapacitate the four guarding teachers; according to the information, Liang Yun, as a psychological counselor, was at the level of a Tier Nine Martial Artist.

And there was quite a bit of water in that strength.

After all, people as formidable as Qiong Jiu are rare, most teachers are around Tier Eight or Tier Nine, and someone like Liang Yun, who is not in a main battle role, would have even poorer abilities.

To incapacitate four teachers of the same level, she must have used a special method.

At this moment.

In the room, Liang Yun, who had already shouldered Tong Hui, opened the window, preparing to escape through it.
