The four elderly men came to a sudden halt behind him. Their bodies became tense all over as they stared at the forest ahead of Chu Li with grave expressions.
Chu Li laughed heartily and said, “Haha, it’s not yet time for me to die after all!”
The four old men from White Tiger Sect slowly started retreating as they felt a desire to leave.
Chu Li called out, “My Saint, you’ve finally arrived!”
“I’ve come too early!” Sun Mingyue appeared before Chu Li in a flash. She was dressed in a white tunic and had covered her face with a white veil so only her almond-shaped eyes could be seen. She stared coldly at the four elderly men from White Tiger Sect.
The four elderly men had dark expressions on their faces as they cursed and swore under their breath.
They never expected Sun Mingyue would come personally to rescue him. It seemed like the Holy Church of Light valued Zhao Dahe highly after all. Given her high position in the sect, she should have numerous affairs to attend to every day, yet she had the time to care about a lowly branch leader!
Chu Li plopped down onto the ground. “My Saint, if you came any later, I would be dead already!”
“Reasonably speaking, I should have come just as you’re breathing your last,” Sun Mingyue muttered coldly. “That way, you’ll learn your lesson and know how powerful they are!”
“Ah… Now, I’ve experienced how powerful they are,” Chu Li replied and waved his hand. “These guys from White Tiger Sect are very formidable. I’m no match for them!”
“It’s good that you realize that!” Sun Mingyue scoffed and then lifted her face to look at the four elderly men who had been slowly retreating away from her. “I never thought White Tiger Sect would send four hidden masters to come and kill a branch leader. What is your sect trying to do right now!”
“He has killed Junior Brother Zheng. We’re here to seek revenge!” one of the old beggars replied with a huff.
“When it comes to matters of life and death, only the people who are directly involved have the right to seek revenge. Others should not get involved,” Sun Mingyue stated impassively. “Does White Tiger Sect intend to violate this rule?”
“This young fellow is despicable. We must kill him!” the old beggar replied.Read latest chapters at NovelFull
Sun Mingyue shook her head and said, “Since you’ve violated the rules, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
She did not give them the chance to speak anymore and swiftly threw a punch. Her movement was silent and seemed entirely effortless. Her smooth and fair fist looked like a beautiful, glowing white jade that had been tainted with rouge under the rays of the setting sun.
The four old men seemed as though they were facing a formidable enemy. They each placed a hand on the shoulder of the person next to them again and then thrust their other palm forward at the same time.
“Bang!” There was a thunderous noise.
The four elderly men were sent flying off while Sun Mingyue remained standing in her spot with her hands behind her back. She looked absolutely charming and graceful as she stood there watching them with indifference.
“Puff!” The four elderly men spat out blood and made use of her fist force to increase their speed and escape from the place.
“Humph!” Sun Mingyue scoffed lightly and instantly disappeared from where she had been standing. She reappeared a hundred meters away and blocked the four elderly men’s path before swiftly throwing four punches.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang!” The four of them were sent flying in Chu Li’s direction.
Chu Li threw out four blades while sitting on the ground.
The four men had been spitting out blood as they flew toward Chu Li with their backs facing him. They wanted to turn around and keep their eyes on him but the condition of their injuries had rendered them powerless to do so. The flying blades went in through the back of their necks and sliced through their throats without any obstruction.
The four of them crashed loudly to the ground and were unwilling to admit defeat. They reached out to seal off their acupuncture points and then took out a few spirit pills.
Chu Li glided over to them and waved his hands again.
Energy blades shot into their eyes and went into their brains before transforming into a destructive force that turned their brains to mush.
Chu Li heaved a sigh of relief and lay limp on the ground while staring up at the sky. He remained motionless as he was only left with the strength to catch his breath. “They’re finally dead!”
Sun Mingyue appeared beside him in a flash and lowered her gaze to size him up. “You managed to escape from them after all. I underestimated your abilities!”
Chu Li replied, “My Saint, you always underestimate me!”
“Why were they trying to kill you?” Sun Mingyue asked impassively.
Chu Li sighed in resignation and replied, “Because I learned White Tiger Power without their permission!”
He was aware of Sun Mingyue’s ability to read minds, so of course, she had managed to peek into these four people’s minds to read their thoughts. Since she already knew why they wanted to kill him, he decided to say it out without hesitation to gain Sun Mingyue’s trust.
“You’re quite capable!” Sun Mingyue said. “You even found a way to acquire White Tiger Power!”
She was very satisfied with Chu Li’s blunt and fearless answer.
Chu Li put on a smug grin. “It wasn’t that difficult anyway. The key lies in how you do it. If anyone else wanted to do it, it would’ve been a piece of cake for them too!”
Sun Mingyue shook her head.
For people who were capable, it would be an easy task. As for people who were afraid of hardship, they would never be able to learn how to do it. This was an extremely tough thing to accomplish, yet he made it sound like it was not worth mentioning. Therefore, this showed that a person’s intelligence and means of handling things could make a huge difference in their life.
Zhao Dahe was stubborn and unruly. Nonetheless, he was a truly rare talent.
However, the more talented he was, the more he needed to polish his personality. Otherwise, if anything went wrong, a catastrophic outcome might follow.
This time, he had nearly lost his life. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and had stirred up a disturbance in Gale City first. That was how she had managed to receive news about what had happened to him before rushing over. Thankfully, she had arrived just in time. If not, he might have really lost his life.
Regardless of how powerful he was, there was no way he could ward off a group attack by four hidden masters. If she had shown up slightly later, she might have ended up finding only his corpse.
For many years in the past, the Holy Church of Light had been trying to fully understand the martial arts of the other three major sects, but since their martial arts were all passed on through enlightenment, it was almost impossible for their martial arts to be transmitted to external parties. Thus, no outsiders could ever learn their martial arts.
It was impossible for martial arts that were traditionally passed on through enlightenment to be put down on paper because no one could ever fully capture the subtleties of these martial arts with mere words. It was just like how people would feel when they tried to remember their dreams after waking up. They might have a vague idea of what had been going on in their dreams, but if they had to explain everything with words, they would not be able to describe it clearly.
However, Chu Li had actually managed to acquire the complete legacy of their martial arts. This was usually something one could only hope to gain by luck.
“How did you manage to acquire it?” Sun Mingyue asked.
Chu Li recounted the entire incident.
Sun Mingyue frowned. “You’ve only learned the incantation. You haven’t gotten its true essence.”
Chu Li replied, “Truthfully speaking, acquiring the incantation would be good enough. Their visualization isn’t accurate anyway. I might as well try to visualize it on my own. I can’t believe they’ve actually been visualizing a cat-like tiger! … I’ve seen tigers before. Most people say that a Spirit Tiger is ten times stronger than a normal tiger, so I’ve tried to imagine a tiger that’s ten times stronger than a normal one. Then, I used that as my object of visualization!”
“Hmm…” Sun Mingyue paused for a moment. “Is it possible to cultivate White Tiger Power using such a method?”
“Humph, I managed to produce a much more destructive force than them!” Chu Li curled his lip in disdain. “The White Tiger Power they’re been cultivating isn’t powerful at all!”
“You’re very arrogant!” Sun Mingyue shook her head. “Anyway, you should recuperate first!”
Chu Li took out a jade bottle from his inner pocket and poured out two pills before stuffing them into his mouth.
Sun Mingyue said, “I heard you’ve been refining and producing some Light Pills on your own?”
Chu Li nodded.
Sun Mingyue exhaled sharply and did not say anything else. The moment she thought of this, she felt upset. He had an exceptional innate talent for alchemy, yet he had refused to refine and produce pills for the sect. Indeed, he was letting his talent go to waste!
She went behind Chu Li and gracefully sat down. She did not care that the ground was dirty and that the soil would stain her white tunic. Instead, she proceeded to place her palm on his back.
Chu Li was aware of her intentions. While she helped him recuperate, she was also taking this opportunity to observe his cultivation level and the condition of his injuries.
Fortunately, aside from Life and Death Scripture, he had not used any other skills and techniques he had hidden away along with his Chu Li identity. He had only been using Zhao Dahe’s capabilities and had suffered extremely severe injuries.
Sun Mingyue’s inner energy was unbelievably pure and refined. It felt like a cool and refreshing stream of water as it flowed into his body and rapidly helped him recover from his injuries while repairing his body.
Time passed by slowly and soundlessly. At twilight, Sun Mingyue slowly withdrew her hand while staring at the back of Chu Li’s head, which was emitting white steam.
She sighed to herself. Chu Li’s cultivation level had almost been fully restored now, and the White Tiger Power inner energy in his body contained an unusually destructive force indeed.
After some time, Chu Li opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath that looked like white puffs of steam.
Sun Mingyue muttered, “You’ll need to rest and recuperate for a period of time to fully recover from your injuries. You should come back to the Great Light Peak.”
Chu Li nodded. “I’d like to return to the Spirit Medicine Nursery.”
“Go ahead,” Sun Mingyue replied.
He rose to his feet and went back to the Great Light Peak along with Sun Mingyue.
“My Saint, you shouldn’t have sent Senior Sister Li and Senior Sister Lu to Falling Autumn City,” Chu Li said.
