Lu Guangdi glared fiercely at the ten masked men in black.
They were of different heights, and their martial arts were all different. Some used swords, some used knives, and most used fists and palms. Their techniques were exquisite and powerful, but it was difficult to tell which sect they were from.
"Bang bang bang bang bang …" The continuous sounds of their palms colliding was like a thunderstorm, causing the yellow dust and dead leaves on the ground to dance.
"Ding ding ding ding …" Elder Xu and Elder Hu's fists and palms collided with the swords and knives, letting out a clear sound like metal clashing.
The two of them were able to suppress the people in front of them with their bare hands.
The ten people slowly retreated into the forest under the pressure of the two men.
Elder Xu and Elder Zhou suddenly retreated, not continuing to chase after them as they watched them enter the forest. They were experienced and cautious, knowing the rule of not entering a forest. Moreover, they were most concerned about Lu Guangdi. If they chased them into the forest, it would be bad if they were lured away.
After the ten people retreated into the forest, seeing that Elder Xu and Elder Hu did not chase after them, they finally left.
Lu Guangdi's handsome face darkened as he stared at their disappearing silhouettes.
Elder Xu smiled. "Although their martial arts are strong, they're not the best. They probably don't know that we're protecting you, Young Master Lu."
Lu Guangdi shook his head. "If they know that you two are here, I'm afraid they'll find someone stronger!"
"Or they could just retreat, be sensible." Elder Hu smiled.
He did not believe what he said. The two of them had strange techniques and did not show their appearance. Even if others saw them, they would not think that they were masters. Instead, they would think that they were easy to bully.
Lu Guangdi smiled and shook his head.
"It's not going to be easy down the road." Lu Guangdi glanced at the two elders and fist saluted. "Thank you, seniors. I'll have to entrust everything to you!"
"Young Master Lu, you don't have to be so polite." Elder Hu smiled and waved his hand. "We're just following orders. If you want to thank someone, thank Miss Lu and His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Yes." Lu Guangdi nodded.
It seemed that Chu Li's jinx was right, his journey would not be peaceful.
Elder Hu said, "Since they're gone, we should take a good rest. There will probably be a big battle down the road, we need to conserve our energy."
"Seniors, if it really comes to a critical moment, please leave first. Don't worry about me," Lu Guang said.
Old Xu and Old Hu smiled and shook their heads, "We are under orders to protect you, Young Master Lu. Of course, we have to obey. If we are here, Young Master Lu will be here. Even if we are not, Young Master Lu will still be here. Don't worry."
"Sigh …" Lu Guangdi was secretly delighted, but he pretended to look helpless.

In the evening of the next day, they continued to rest in a forest and made a bonfire.
Today's temperature was exceptionally low, and the wind was piercingly cold. Lu Guangdi could not stand it as he felt like he was going to freeze to death.
It took him a while to warm himself up by the fire. He felt as if he had been reborn. The more he hated his frail body, the more he hated Chu Li.
His hatred for Chu Li was getting stronger and stronger, and he was more motivated to cultivate again. Unfortunately, his body was injured by Chu Li, and there was no progress in recovering his martial arts.
He took out the white jade pendant from his bosom and played with this exquisite jade pendant. He had an incomparably strong urge to throw this jade pendant to the ground and crush it into pieces. Unfortunately, he knew that with his current meager strength, it was impossible to crush this jade pendant into pieces.
When he thought of this, he hated Chu Li even more. He swore to kill him. No matter what, no matter what, he must kill Chu Li!
Old Xu and Old Hu watched him clench their teeth and shook their heads helplessly.
This Young Master Lu cultivated desperately and crazily. He was always cultivating, but his personality was a little extreme. Even if Chu Li gave this white jade pendant to bury the hatchet, he would not be able to get Young Master Lu's forgiveness.
They could not help but feel pity for Chu Li. Meeting such an extreme person, there was nothing they could do.
"Be careful!" Old Hu suddenly raised his head and shouted.
Old Xu appeared beside Lu Guangdi in a flash, ready to take him away.
Four figures appeared around them. Old Xu grabbed Lu Guangdi and took a step back, escaping from the four people's encirclement. Old Hu went up to them.
The four silhouettes were four elderly men in gray robes. Their heads were all wrapped up, revealing only a pair of cold eyes that were as cold as ice. Lu Guangdi met the gazes of these four people and was instantly shaken to the core, unable to maintain his composure.
As his body shivered, he sighed to himself. These four people must have some kind of mystical technique, or else they would not have such intense gazes.
Old Hu went up to the four people and attacked without saying a word. The five of them were instantly entangled, and Old Hu was immediately at a disadvantage.
These four grey-clothed people's cultivation levels were extremely high. They were only slightly weaker than him. Two of the grey-clothed people held him back, while the other two rushed towards Lu Guangdi and Old Xu.
Old Xu scoffed and pulled Lu Guangdi to the back while he went up to meet them.
The three of them instantly became entangled. Old Xu could not take them down for a while. On the other side, although the two grey-clothed elders were at a disadvantage, they could still hold Old Hu back. The situation was in a stalemate.
"Watch out!" Old Xu and Old Hu shouted at Lu Guangdi at the same time.
A black-clothed person floated out of the forest. He did not seem to be in the same group as the grey-clothed people. He shot towards Lu Guangdi like a flash of light and slammed his palm towards Lu Guangdi.
"How dare you!" Old Hu and Old Xu roared and wanted to rush over, but they were once again held back by the grey-clothed person in front of them.
The black-clothed person ignored their roars and slammed his palm towards Lu Guangdi's chest.
Lu Guangdi gritted his teeth and desperately channeled his inner energy. However, there was no reaction. There was not even a trace of inner energy. He took two steps forward.
However, all of this was useless. No matter how exquisite his footwork was, it was useless in front of his opponent's reaction speed. He could only watch helplessly as his chest was hit. Then, darkness surged up like a tidal wave and engulfed him.
"Young Master Lu!" Old Hu and Old Xu roared and unleashed a frenzied attack. They forced the two groups of grey-clothed people to retreat and arrived in front of Lu Guangdi.
Lu Guangdi flew more than ten meters away and landed heavily on the ground. He laid on the ground like a ragdoll, not moving an inch.
Old Xu and Old Hu approached him, but they did not dare to touch him. They reached out and gently checked his pulse.
The two of them looked extremely gloomy. Lu Guangdi was already dead!
Lu Guangdi's martial arts was already crippled, and he had no inner energy left. He was hit by a top-notch Grandmaster's palm without the slightest bit of resistance or any tricks. For someone who was crippled of martial arts, death was certain.
The grey-clothed person and the black-clothed person turned into a wisp of smoke and silently disappeared into the forest.
They were certain that Lu Guangdi would definitely die.
Once Lu Guangdi died, they knew that Old Hu and Old Xu would definitely go crazy.
Their cultivation levels were extremely high. Now that they had gone crazy, their power was even more terrifying. Even if they could fight them off, they might lose some people. Since they had achieved their goal, they naturally would not risk their lives to fight them.
"Sigh …" The two of them sighed.
They had been entrusted with this task by Lu Yurong and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They did not think that a seemingly easy task would end up like this. Lu Guangdi was killed right in front of their eyes!
"Ahhhh!" Old Xu suddenly roared to the sky.
Old Hu shook his head.
"Bang!" He slammed his palm on the ground, creating a crater. He was furious.
The two of them felt extremely sullen.
