Her right palm, which had become completely translucent and smooth, without a trace of blood, struck Chu Li, but it suddenly paused. What it struck was only Chu Li's shadow.
Zheng Ze sighed helplessly when he saw Zhu Xing's right palm in the air.
This was the sign of the successful Blood Jade Palm. Zheng Ze would not be able to block it. No wonder the palm energy was so hard to deal with. In just a short while, Zheng Ze had already suffered heavy injuries and lost a lot of his blood essence.
Zhu Xing caught up to Chu Li and struck out with his palm again, but this time, he hit another shadow.
Zhu Xing's palm was so fast that Zheng Ze could not even see the shape of his palm if it was not for the pause after hitting nothing.
Chu Li suddenly appeared behind Zhu Xing and struck his back without a sound.
Zhu Xing could not help but stagger forward. With a flash of the blade, his head flew off.
"Swoosh!" A pillar of blood shot up into the sky. The sound of it spitting was like a balloon deflating.
Chu Li shook it lightly. The blade that was clean and shiny as new slowly returned to its scabbard. The chilly aura was immediately withdrawn.
There was not a trace of murderous aura around him, nor did he have a threatening aura. He was still as gentle as jade with his fluttering white robe.
Chu Li looked calm on the surface but he was excited.
The palm just now caused the Heavenly Demonic Orb to suddenly change. It was like a spider suddenly shooting out silk or a frog shooting out its tongue. It pulled Zhu Xing's blood core and swallowed it.
The Heavenly Demonic Orb quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Chu Li had a feeling that after the Heavenly Demonic Orb digested this blood core, his Heavenly Demonic Power would advance to another level.
It seemed that the cultivation of the Heavenly Demonic Scripture was not in vain. This blood core was a great supplement for the Heavenly Demonic Orb. He had never realized that the Heavenly Demonic Orb had such a strong desire for any kind of inner force.
Zheng Ze approached Chu Li and looked him up and down.
His expression was ugly. He was embarrassed and angry.
He thought that he could take down Zhu Xing. He did not expect Zhu Xing to be so difficult to deal with. What was more embarrassing was that he was injured by Zhu Xing and Du Feng, whom he looked down on and wanted to protect, had killed Zhu Xing.
If killing Zhu Xing was so easy, killing Zheng Ze would not be a problem!
Now that he thought about it, his poor judgment was really laughable!
"Who are you?" Zheng Ze stared at Chu Li.
Zheng Shoufang fist saluted and said, "Young Masters, I can't thank you enough!"
"No need." Zheng Ze waved his hand and said, "I didn't help much. If you want to thank someone, you should thank him. His name is Du Feng, but I don't know if it's true or not."
Chu Li smiled. "I'm Du Feng, from the Ji Dynasty."
"So you're a master from the Ji Dynasty. No wonder I've never heard of you." Zheng Shoufang suddenly realized.
Such an expert in saber techniques should have long been famous throughout the world.
Zhu Xing was a famous master in the martial arts world, but he was easily killed by him. It was impossible for a person with such excellent bladesmanship to be unknown.
"How can a blade technique like yours not be famous?" Zheng Ze took out a pill from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth. He frowned at Chu Li.
Miss Zheng widened her eyes and looked at Zheng Ze with concern. "Young Hero Zheng, are you alright?"
Zheng Ze shook his head and looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled. "I'm new here, so of course, I'm not famous."
"Are you very famous in the Ji Dynasty?" Zheng Ze asked.
Chu Li chuckled. "I'm quite famous in the Ji Dynasty."
Zheng Ze frowned. "The martial arts world of the Ji Dynasty is weak. With your martial arts, you should be a top-notch master. How can I not have heard of you?"
"Perhaps Young Hero Zheng has never been to the Ji Dynasty, so you don't know much," Chu Li said.
"Come, come, please come in and have a cup of hot tea. The Church of the Divine Blood's nose is very sensitive. Now that Zhu Xing is dead, they won't let this go easily, so it's better for the two of you to leave as soon as possible, "Zheng Shoufang quickly said.
"Hmph, Church of the Divine Blood!" Zheng Ze pouted.
The Church of the Divine Blood was one of the eight major sects. The Ultimate Temple was not bad either, so they were not afraid of the Church of the Divine Blood.
The four of them entered the Zheng Residence and sat down in the main hall.
Miss Zheng quickly brewed a cup of hot tea and served it. She looked at Zheng Ze without blinking.
"Officer Zheng, what do you plan to do?" Zheng Ze pretended not to see the look in his eyes, but Chu Li could see that he was shaken.
Zheng Shoufang smiled bitterly and sighed. "We can die in peace now that we've killed that bastard, Hu Qiming!"
"Die what?" Zheng Ze scoffed. "You're worried that the Church of the Divine Blood won't let you go, right?"
"The Church of the Divine Blood definitely won't let us live!" Zheng Shoufang shook his head.
Zheng Ze said, "How about this, you guys go to Peaceful Sky City!"
"Peaceful Sky City?" Zheng Shoufang hesitated and smiled bitterly. "Even if we go to Peaceful Sky City, they'll find a way to kill us. In short, we're dead meat."
Zheng Ze scoffed. "I won't let the Church of the Divine Blood kill you. Follow me to Peaceful Sky City, I'll think of a way to let you into the inner city!"
"This …" Zheng Shoufang said helplessly, "This is too much trouble, Young Hero Zheng!"
"It's no trouble at all!" Zheng Ze said, "I also want to go back and have a look. The Church of the Divine Blood can't enter the inner city of Peaceful Sky City!"
"Sigh …" Zheng Shoufang felt that the world was unpredictable. He thought that God had abandoned him, but now there was a light at the end of the tunnel to meet such a good person.
Peaceful Sky City was the prefecture of the Ultimate Temple, so it was under the protection of the Ultimate Temple. The inner city of Peaceful Sky City was filled with the family members of the Ultimate Temple's disciples, so it was the safest place.
"It's decided then!" Zheng Ze said, "Pack up, we'll depart immediately!"
"… Alright, I won't be unreasonable then!" Zheng Shoufang nodded. "I didn't think that I'd be so lucky." Chu Li smiled.
"Member Zheng, we'll only help if you're doing good deeds. If you're an evil person, we won't care about your life or death."
Zheng Shoufang nodded slowly.
Zheng Ze looked at Chu Li. "Brother Du, where are you going?"
Chu Li said, "I've just arrived in the Fu Dynasty, so I don't know much. I'll go with you, Brother Zheng."
"Thank you very much!" Zheng Ze fist saluted.
He was injured and would not be able to recover in a short period of time. The Blood Jade Palm Energy was too vicious. With Du Feng around, he could focus on healing before his senior brothers came to help.
The four of them drank tea. Zheng Shoufang and his daughter only took two bags. One of the bags was food, the other was a few changes of clothes, and the third was silver notes. The Zheng Family was quite wealthy.
The four of them rode on the Zheng Family's horses and left the city, heading west.
Peaceful Sky City was located in the center of the Fu Dynasty. The Fu Dynasty had a vast territory, so they had to travel five to six thousand miles from this small city to Peaceful Sky City.
After resting in the forest for a night, Zheng Ze's injuries suddenly worsened.
He channeled to heal himself for a night, but his injuries did not get better. Instead, they got worse.
Early in the morning, Miss Zheng Yuwan looked at his pale face and asked with concern, "Brother Zheng, are you okay?"
Zheng Ze opened his eyes and shook his head.
His eyes were dim, his lips were pale, and his face was gloomy.
Zheng Yuwan said, "Did your injuries get worse?"
Zheng Ze said, "It's okay, I can handle it."
Chu Li sighed. "Let me lend you a hand."
"… No need." Zheng Ze shook his head.
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "Brother Zheng, are you afraid that I'll hurt you?"
Zheng Ze said, "I can handle it."
Zheng Shoufang said, "Nephew Zheng, I think the Church of the Divine Blood will be here soon. They're good at tracking."
"That's right, that's right. Let Master Du help," Zheng Yuwan said.
Her beautiful face was filled with concern.
Chu Li smiled to himself. Which girl did not want to fall in love? Zheng Ze was her savior, so it was only a matter of time before Zheng Yuwan fell in love with him.
Zheng Ze acted cold, but he liked Zheng Yuwan.
