Chu Li replied, "Without my help, would Senior Brother Deng have been able to kill Li Hanyan?"
"This …" Deng Datong hesitated before shaking his head. "That woman is truly powerful, or else Senior Brother Chang wouldn't have lost to her. My martial arts skills are similar to Senior Brother Chang's, I'm afraid I might not be her match."
Chu Li replied, "I could've killed Li Hanyan without your help, Senior Brother Deng."
"Oh?" Deng Datong smiled disapprovingly. "Although Junior Brother Zhao is powerful, you've only been cultivating for a short period of time. Li Hanyan, on the other hand, is a genius. I heard that her aptitude is not inferior to Chu Li's. She rose like a comet in just two years, she mustn't be underestimated!"
"Who does Chu Li think he is!" Chu Li sneered.
Deng Datong became even more disapproving. "Junior Brother Zhao, Du Feng of the South and Chu Li of the North. I heard that Du Feng killed Prince An of the Ji Dynasty and was hunted by the Ji Dynasty Emperor, but he managed to escape to the Fu Dynasty."
Chu Li said, "Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about Li Hanyan. Senior Brother Deng, you couldn't have killed Li Hanyan, but you made such a military pledge and even tied me up to help you. You're taking advantage of the situation without risking anything. I'm impressed!"
He squinted at him with a sarcastic expression.
"Hehe, you're too kind. I still need Junior Brother Zhao's help." Deng Datong was not ashamed and was instead very proud.
Chu Li said coldly, "I'm curious. Would the Saint allow such a thing to happen?"
Sun Mingyue said, "The Holy Church advocates not sticking to one pattern. Martial arts isn't the only thing that matters in making contributions, it also requires wisdom and skill. Since he has such guts and means, why would he object?"
"That's true …" Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "Senior Brother Deng, I'll have to disappoint you. I won't help you."
Deng Datong was stunned and his expression changed. "Junior Brother Zhao, why?"
"Why should I help you?" Chu Li said lazily, "Why should I help you? If you had discussed it with me before making such a decision, that would have been fine. But you acted first and reported later. You didn't even tell me and forcefully kidnapped me into the carriage. How could I agree to that?"
"This is something that benefits everyone, why not?" Deng Datong said in surprise, "I've become an Patrol Inspector, and Junior Brother Zhao, you've also performed a meritorious deed. Although you can't become an Patrol Inspector, I'm sure you'll be able to do it next time."
Chu Li said coldly, "Brother Deng, if it wasn't for you this time, I would've definitely become the patrol. You stole my position and I still have to help you. How can there be such a good thing in this world?"
"I see!" Deng Datong shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Zhao, you should be broad-minded. You're still young, and it's not appropriate for you to suddenly become a patrol. It's not too late to train for another two years."
Chu Li scoffed. "In terms of martial arts and contributions, Senior Brother Deng, you're better than me in both. You still want to scheme against me and take advantage of your seniority. You're really blind!"
His words had already turned hostile, and he did not hesitate to mock him.
Deng Datong's expression did not change as he smiled and said to Sun Mingyue, "Holy Maiden, Junior Brother Zhao is still young and full of vigor."
Sun Mingyue was calm and did not say a word. It was obvious that she wanted the two of them to discuss it among themselves.
Chu Li sneered and said, "Just because he's young, he should train for another two years. What a joke. The Holy Maiden is young!"
"That's not what I meant!" Deng Datong hurriedly waved his hand and looked at Sun Mingyue helplessly.
Sun Mingyue secretly shook her head. Deng Datong's tactics were powerful and he was thick-skinned, but his eloquence was far inferior to Chu Li's.
She waved her hand and said, "Deng Datong, you'll have to deal with the assistant yourself. If you can convince him, do it. If you can't, find someone else. Zhao Dahe isn't the only one with great martial arts in the Holy Church of Light."
"This …" Deng Datong hesitated.
He originally wanted to use the Saint to pressure Chu Li and force him to agree.
However, the Saint obviously did not want to force Zhao Dahe, so he was forced into a corner.
He said helplessly, "Junior Brother Zhao, you're going to be promoted to patrol soon. As long as you make another contribution this time, it'll be your turn next time."
Chu Li said, "Hmph, the next time I encounter a shameless person like Senior Brother Deng who uses despicable means, I won't be promoted to patrol!"
His sarcasm and sarcasm were tantamount to a torrent of abuse.
However, Deng Datong's expression did not change. Chu Li was shocked by his shamelessness. It was rare to see such a shameless person. It seemed like he should not be underestimated.
Sun Mingyue glanced at him. She knew that Chu Li was harboring killing intent.
Deng Datong said, "Tell me, Junior Brother Zhao. What do you want in exchange for your help?"
Chu Li scoffed and said, "I won't help you with this. Be sensible and choose someone else. See you!"
He turned to leave after he finished speaking.
"Wait!" Deng Datong stood in front of him. "Junior Brother Zhao, I'll agree to anything as long as the conditions are right. Tell me about it."
Chu Li kept walking forward and was about to bump into Deng Datong.
Deng Datong's expression darkened. "Junior Brother Zhao, why are you so proud? Are you sure that you won't need my help in the future?"
"I won't," Chu Li said coldly.
He almost touched Deng Datong's shoulder, but he did not stop.
Deng Datong did not move away either. Their shoulders pressed against each other.
Chu Li curled his lips in disdain and lightly shook his shoulder.
"Bang!" Deng Datong was sent flying and crashed into a round and thick red lacquer pillar.
He went limp as if he had lost his bones. He slid down the pillar and looked at Chu Li with soulless eyes.
Chu Li shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Deng, you're too weak to even stand up to a gust of wind. With such insignificant martial arts, you actually want to go against Li Hanyan. I advise you to give up. Don't throw your life away!"
"Zhao Dahe!" Sun Mingyue scoffed.
Chu Li said, "I didn't fight. I just bumped into him. My hands didn't move!"
Sun Mingyue said, "You hit him so hard!"
Chu Li said, "I was reflecting the force. I reflected back the same amount of force that Senior Brother Deng used."
Sun Mingyue waved her hand. "Get lost!"
Chu Li was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he looked at Deng Datong. "Senior Brother Deng, you're so cruel. You hit him so hard, but you still hurt yourself. How is it? You won't die, right?"
Deng Datong did not move. His blood was boiling.
His body felt like water and fire were fighting. They could not merge and his body had become their battlefield. His organs felt like they were being cut by a knife. His body was limp and he could not exert any strength.
He struggled to say, "Junior … Junior Brother Zhao, don't lie. This isn't my inner energy."
Chu Li smiled. "I forgot to tell you. I've cultivated the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. I can reverse Yin and Yang. Your inner energy is of extreme Yin. I've turned it into extreme Yang and sent it back. It feels good, doesn't it?"
"You —!" Deng Datong pointed at him. His eyes were filled with anger.
Chu Li's proud smile turned into a sneer. "Next time, keep your eyes open. You can't take advantage of just anyone! Saint, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. "
"Zhao Dahe, help him kill Li Hanyan," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li was stunned. He looked at her helplessly.
Sun Mingyue said, "Li Hanyan's martial arts is outstanding. She's especially good at killing people. She's a threat. You two should work together to kill her."
Chu Li glanced at Deng Datong and suddenly nodded. "Yes!"
He had a deep understanding of people's hearts. When he met Sun Mingyue alone, he would not save her face. He would oppose her if necessary. However, at this time, he would not be so unscrupulous.
He could feel Sun Mingyue's determination. Hence, he took a step back and agreed. He was no longer as stubborn as before.
Sun Mingyue secretly sighed in relief. She was worried that he would resist.
She looked at Chu Li. "Remember, the disciples of the church are not allowed to kill each other. If you go against this, you know the consequences!"
"Of course!" Chu Li smiled.
Sun Mingyue scoffed. "Go!"
Chu Li said, "Senior Brother Deng, I'll leave first. You can look for me in Gale City!"
Without waiting for Deng Datong's reply, Chu Li glided away.
Deng Datong's face turned purple. He was in great pain.
He was slightly regretful. He knew that Zhao Dahe was powerful, but he did not expect him to be this powerful. Moreover, he had such a bad character. He thought it was just a rumor. Now, he knew that it was not an exaggeration.
