White-Robed Chief

“Pscht!” Without warning, Chu Li spat blood and collapsed on the stone table.

“Junior Brother Zhao!” Li Ruolan shrieked. Then, she quickly caught hold of him before he hit his head.

With that, Chu Li fell into her arms. Right away, his heart fluttered, yet his face still looked as white as paper.

“Junior brother, is it bad?” Li Ruolan was worried.

Chu Li shook his head, his breathing was becoming weaker. After that, he wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. “It’s alright, I won’t die!”

He had to do it to lure those two fellas.

Li Ruolan immediately said, “Don’t rush to recover your martial art, take it slow!”

“Take it slow…” Chu Li sighed. “Sooner or later, I’m going to die!”

Li Ruolan pursed her lips, then gritted her teeth. “At worst, I’ll activate my secret skill to the maximum. I’ll definitely not let them get away!”

“You might not last long even if you use your secret technique,” Chu Li added. “If you’re going to use it, just escape’ don’t fight with them. You might be able to return to Li Dynasty.”

Once one activated a secret technique to the maximum, if one could not hold on for long, one would simply die.

“…Alright.” Li Ruolan hesitated for some time before she finally agreed.

If she did activate her secret technique and reached her maximum speed, she might be able to send him back to Li Dynasty before she dies. As long as she could bring him away from danger, that would be enough.

At that moment, the two elders who were quite a distance away frowned and then, they halted.

Chu Li continued to sigh. “I can’t believe that by setting the tiger free, it has turned into a disaster. Had I known this sooner, I should’ve just taken his life right away. This is all my fault!”

“Junior Brother, stop blaming yourself. If you can, it’s best to not kill someone. You didn’t do anything wrong, “Li Ruolan comforted him.

“Senior sister, can you please heal me?” Chu Li asked.

Li Ruolan nodded softly, then let him go before she placed both hands on his back.

Upon hearing Chu Li’s words, Thin Elder sighed.

He knew very well that if Zhao Dahe did make a move earlier, he would have been hurt even if he could flee.

All of a sudden, he realized that Zhao Dahe must hate him now and he was full of killing intent.

‘If I let him go now, he’ll definitely take his revenge next time. For the peaceful future of Hai Cang Mountain, Zhao Dahe can’t be spared. Even if danger lies ahead, he must be killed!’

‘I can’t make the same mistake that Zhao Dahe did!’

“Junior Brother Zheng, let’s go, let’s kill them!” Thin Elder turned to remind fat and muscular Elder, “We must be wary, they’re extremely dangerous.”

“I understand, I understand!” Fat and muscular Elder instantly smiled. “Don’t worry, let’s do our best and try to end them with just a few moves. That way, they won’t have the chance to counterattack!”

“Alright, let’s move!” Thin Elder instructed.

At once, the two of them charged toward Chu Li and Li Ruolan like two arrows.

Through the Omniscient Mirror, Chu Li had been watching their every move. As such, their thoughts and movements were clearly displayed in his mind too.

The moment they started to make a move, Chu Li said, “Let me use your inner energy.”

Upon hearing him, Li Ruolan quickly activated her inner energy. She was exceptionally gentle when she exerted force through her palm as she was afraid that she would hurt Chu Li.

She only felt an immense force coming from Chu Li’s back which instantly sucked her inner energy — it was not under her control. Her inner energy was continuously channeled into his body as if his body was like an endless hole. She felt like he was going to engulf all of her inner energy.

Nevertheless, she was not worried at all because she knew that Zhao Dahe would not harm her. Instead, she was simply intrigued by the wonders of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture.

Before long, the two elders approached the two of them. With their swords, they became one and zoomed toward Li Ruolan like electric lights.

They were certain that Chu Li was crippled of his martial art. His aura had vanished, which proved that he had indeed lost his martial art and so, there was not much of a worry. With that, their only worry was Li Ruolan, whom they had to kill before she could activate her secret technique. Even if she was a beautiful lady, she had to be killed.

“Tss, tss!” Suddenly, two whistling sounds were heard.

Thin Elder’s hairs stood on their ends. He backed off abruptly, but it was too late.

By the time they heard the whistling sounds, they were three feet away from Chu Li and it was too late to react. The moment immediately after their throats hurt, they were sent flying away.

In the fight between masters, one careless move was all it took to lose the match. That was the case when Chu Li was injured by the elder’s sword, and now it was played out on the elders as they had let their guard down near him — one thoughtless move had ruined them.

“Tss, tss!” After that, two more whistling sounds were heard as the two elders suffered another two attacks on their forehead.

When the flying blades shot out from the back of their heads, they were covered in red and white — blood and brain plasma.

Chu Li let out a long sigh of relief before he spat some blood again.

Right away, Li Ruolan withdrew her inner energy. She asked, “Junior Brother, is it serious?”

Chu Li shook his head.

Sensing the pulse on his wrist, Li Ruolan found that his internal organs were not seriously damaged. Instead, it was his Dantian that had suffered heavy damage, which would require him to recuperate for some time. Since he possessed the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, he could regain his martial art in half a month.

Relieved, she glanced at the two dead bodies not far away from them. She smiled. “Junior brother, you’re amazing!”

The fact that he could kill the two fellas even though he was crippled of his martial art, he was truly godlike.

If it was her, she could only activate her secret technique to escape. It was tough to defeat them, but it was also impossible to kill them.

Chu Li chuckled. “It’s all thanks to your inner energy, Senior Sister.”

“Inner energy is all I have, I can’t kill them.” Li Ruolan did not want to claim credit for it.

‘At the end of the day, it was a perfect scheme that allowed us to kill them so easily. It was Junior Brother Zhao who was smart to show weakness first. With that, we were able to catch them off guard and kill them easily.’

‘Or else, it’s going to be terribly hard to kill them. They have secret techniques too!’

Chu Li responded with a smile. “We did this together. Their swords are quite good; take them. They probably have other treasures on their bodies too, take those. Oh, don’t forget about my flying blades.”

‘Their swords were able to pierce through my floating silkworm treasured clothing, I must get them,’ Chu Li said to himself.

“…Alright.” Li Ruolan gritted her teeth.

She removed their swords and scabbards. Then, she found a few bottles of drugs in their clothing, and finally went over to Chu Li’s flying blades. As shown on her face, she was clearly reluctant to pick them up. The fact that the flying blades had gone through their brains disgusted her.

Chu Li shook his head and he walked over to pick them up himself. He wiped the blades clean with Thin Elder’s shirt before he kept them. “Let’s leave quickly. There might be others hunting us down.”

Li Ruolan looked at him strangely, then carried him by his waist as they fluttered away.

When Chu Li pulled the sword out of the scabbard to check it out, he was overwhelmed by the feeling of water that blew gently on his face. It was as if his face was put right next to spring water.

“What a good sword!” Chu Li exclaimed. When he saw two vague words on the sword, he read, “Cold spring.”

“Indeed, Hai Cang Mountain’s elders are divine infantries!” Li Ruolan smiled.

Chu Li nodded. “At least my martial art wasn’t crippled for nothing and we benefited from this.”

“A treasure sword like this is extremely rare.” Li Ruolan added, “We’ve gained an extra advantage.”

Chu Li asked, “Doesn’t the Holy Church for Light have any treasure swords?”

“We do, but not many like this. Moreover, we might not get to use them at all.” Li Ruolan shook her head. “Treasure swords are hard to find, just like drugs now. The blood of spirit beasts is required to cast real treasure swords, which are hard to get now.”

“We have the Divine Infantry Hall, right?”

“Yes, we have the Divine Infantry Hall which also forges sharp weapons, but they’re far from the elite weapons from the ancient days. Without any spirit beast’s blood, they can’t be considered elite weapons.” Li Ruolan continued, “These two treasure swords are real treasure swords, which is why I say that we’ve gained an extra advantage.”

“We exchanged it with our lives.” Chu Li giggled. “Sure enough, good things need to be exchanged with lives.”

Li Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled.

She accelerated as she could not wait to return to Li Dynasty.

“Junior Sister Li!” All of a sudden, a whistle was heard coming from behind.

A figure spiraled over before it stopped in front of them a while after. It was a tall, attractive young man.
