"Mysterious Pavilion?" Chu Li perked up.
His target in coming to Zheng Dynasty was Mysterious Pavilion. He wanted to take the opportunity to destroy Mysterious Pavilion and fulfill his promise to King Ping.
Of course, Heavenly King Palm was also his other goal. He did not want to learn Heavenly King Palm, but he wanted to study Heavenly King Palm Wu Cheng. Since he could become an Enlightened Master, his heart technique might be mysterious.
Sun Yucheng leaped onto a tree while Elder Su and Elder Ren followed him and looked at the approaching knights.
Chu Li asked, "Are they from Mysterious Pavilion?"
"Yes." Elder Su frowned. "Zheng Dynasty's Mysterious Pavilion is very domineering, but these young ladies are pretty!"
"It's best to leave them alone," Elder Ren said.
Sun Yucheng stared at the four beautiful young ladies in the distance with a pained expression on his face.
Elder Su and Elder Ren knew that the situation was bad. They knew the Li Dynasty's Sun Clan's romantic nature and had tender feelings for the fairer sex, so they could not reject women.
"Young Master, we're here for something big. It'll be troublesome if we offend Mysterious Pavilion!" Elder Ren said.
"Mysterious Pavilion!" Sun Yucheng scoffed.
He could not bear to do it, but he knew that the two elders were right.
If he was entangled with the Mysterious Pavilion, he would most likely not be able to obtain the Heavenly King Palm. However, if these four beautiful women were to be killed by them, it would truly be an unforgivable sin. It was also a sin for him to watch them die before his eyes.
He was conflicted and could not make a decision.
Elder Su quickly said, "Let's wait and see. They might not be ruthless. It might just be a fight."
Sun Yucheng sighed in relief and said, "Yes, let's wait and see!"
Chu Li said, "It seems like these four ladies aren't weak either."
"Neigh!" With a long neigh, the leading horse suddenly collapsed with white foam coming out of its mouth. It had run to its death.
The young lady on the horse flew out and landed on the tree with the tip of her toes. She landed on another horse and sat behind another young lady. The three horses continued to gallop.
However, the horses they were riding were very tired. As soon as the young lady sat on them, the horses slowed down.
The young lady turned to look at the approaching knights in black. Then, she leaped off the horse and said, "You guys go first, I'll hold them off for a while!"
"Junior Sister Liu!" The three girls shouted anxiously, "No!"
The young girl gracefully glided towards the black-robed knights. She unsheathed the long sword at her waist and stabbed at the person at the very front.
"Hmph!" The rider at the very front was a middle-aged man with a squarish face and a solemn expression. He sneered and pushed out his palm.
"Chi!" The young girl's sword pierced through the palm energy and continued forward.
"Ding …" The middle-aged man's palm struck the blade of the sword, and the girl was sent flying.
"Senior-apprentice Sister Liu!" The three girls flew out at the same time, leaping towards the first girl.
"Chi Chi Chi …" A wave of hidden weapons shot towards the three women.
"Ding ding ding ding …" Amidst a series of clear sounds, the three girls brandished their swords to parry the hidden weapons. Then, they joined up with the previous girl and landed on the ground in four different directions, forming a sword formation.
The ten knights pulled the reins and surrounded the four girls.
The ten horses circled around the four girls restlessly, looking for a flaw.
The four girls held their swords motionlessly like four beautiful statues, completely ignoring their movements.
"Sword formation." Elder Su was shocked. "Looks like they're disciples from a famous faction!"
Sword formations were almost nonexistent in the Li Dynasty. While some of the major factions in the Fu Dynasty had sword formations, even the famous factions in the Zheng Dynasty rarely had sword formations. It seemed like the four girls had powerful backgrounds.
"Elder Su, if we really can't do it later, we still have to save them!" Sun Yucheng said softly.
"Young Master …" Elder Su said helplessly.
Elder Ren lowered his voice. "Everyone has their own lives, let's stay out of it."
"No!" Sun Yucheng shook his head firmly. "I can't stand by and watch as beauties are harmed. I won't be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life if I feel guilty!"
He had thought it through. Compared to the Heavenly King Palm, he valued human lives more, especially the lives of beauties.
"Young Master, it'll be terrible if you get entangled by those people from Mysterious Pavilion!" Elder Su said.
Chu Li asked, "How is Mysterious Pavilion compared to the Holy Church of Light?"
"Of course not," Elder Su replied.
Chu Li smiled. "That's right. It's not a big deal to offend them!"
"But this isn't the Li Dynasty, it's the Zheng Dynasty!" Elder Su shook his head. "Mysterious Pavilion is the local tyrant. If we offend them, our trip will be in vain. We won't be able to go to Ascending Dragon Mountain anymore."
Chu Li looked at Sun Yucheng. "Young Master, since you've chosen between the Heavenly King Palm and saving them, let's save them. We'll look for the Heavenly King Palm next time!"
"Yes, yes." Sun Yucheng quickly nodded.
He looked at Chu Li with admiration. He felt that although Chu Li was ugly, he was a kindred spirit. Chu Li's blood was not cold yet, unlike Elder Su and Elder Ren, who had hardened their hearts and only cared about benefits instead of emotions.
He felt that people like Zhao Dahe were more reliable.
"Attack!" The middle-aged man scoffed.
Ten people leaped from their horses into the air. Some of them punched from afar while some drew their swords.
Four of them were Grandmasters who used fist techniques while the other six were Innate Masters who used sword techniques. They attacked the four girls at the same time.
"Buzz …" The four girls swung their swords at them. Their swords vibrated violently and formed a ripple-like bright light.
"Ding ding ding ding …" Amidst the continuous sounds of metal clashing, the four girls stood their ground steadily. The ten men in black clothes could not break through their sword formation.
Elder Su said softly, "They're disciples from famous sects!"
Only one of the four girls was a Grandmaster while the other three were Innate Masters. In terms of strength and numbers, they were far inferior to the ten people from Mysterious Pavilion. It was rare for them to be able to guard the gate.
Nonetheless, they were at a disadvantage. After all, the fist energy of a Grandmaster was strong and could destroy them forcefully. No matter how profound their sword formation was, they could not turn the situation around if their martial arts skills were too inferior.
"Let's attack," Sun Yucheng said.
Elder Su said, "Young Master, it's not the time yet. We'll attack them when they're in a desperate situation. That'll be more precious."
Sun Yucheng shook his head. "There's no need to play these tricks. Let's attack them directly."
Chu Li said, "Just kill them!"
"Kill them?" The three of them looked at him in shock.
Chu Li said, "After we kill them, we'll continue looking for Heavenly King Palm. By the time Mysterious Pavilion finds out that we're involved, we'll be back in the Li Dynasty!"
"They're four Grandmasters!" Sun Yucheng said anxiously.
Chu Li smiled. "They're just four Grandmasters. Just leave them to me!"
"That's too risky." Elder Su smiled bitterly.
Grandmasters were extremely difficult to kill. Their instincts were amazing and their inner energy was endless. If they could not win, they could activate their secret skills to escape.
Chu Li said, "Let's try first!"
He disappeared in a flash and appeared behind a middle-aged man. It was the leader of the ten people.
The middle-aged man was about to swing his fist when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He was alarmed and tried to dodge, but a cold light had already pierced through his heart.
Chu Li's hands shot out cold lights at the other people.
Grandmasters had instincts for danger, but they were too close to Chu Li and the Light Blade was too fast. Even if they had instincts, they could not react in time and could only watch as the flying blades pierced through their hearts.
