"Master, come again!" Xue Ling scoffed.
Her inner energy had become more and more refined. She was no longer as vulnerable as before. Although she was sent flying by his palm, she might be able to take it if she was prepared next time. It was a rare opportunity to spar with him.
"Bam bam bam bam …" Xue Ling was sent flying again and again.
Chu Li struck with his palm. The Heavenly King's Palm was not powerful. It was disappointing.
At the same time, he used the Life and Death Scripture to mobilize spiritual energy. Spiritual energy from all directions surged and instantly enveloped the Heavenly King's Palm.
Thus, the Heavenly King's Palm transformed and devoured the spiritual energy ferociously. In the blink of an eye, it was completely devoured. The spiritual energy from the Life and Death Scripture did not seem to be able to feed it in time.
The Heavenly King's Palm flew three to four meters before it expanded several times to the size of his body. Chu Li's second palm followed. The two palm energies merged and suddenly condensed into the size of a fist. It collided with Xue Ling's palm.
Xue Ling could not resist this palm energy at all. She was like a sheep that was hit by a galloping horse. She was sent flying.
The power of the Heavenly King's Palm had increased tenfold under the support of spiritual energy. It was terrifying. In terms of toughness and dominance, it was better than any other palm technique he had cultivated.
It was no wonder that the Heavenly King's Palm could dominate the world during the era of many Enlightened Masters.
Now that he had the Heavenly King's Palm, his strength had increased tremendously.
As he grew stronger, he felt that his martial arts was not enough. There was always someone better. Everyone he met was stronger than him. This made him feel helpless. This was luck.
He had high hopes for the Heavenly King's Palm. Unfortunately, he was disappointed when he cultivated it. Without spiritual energy, the Heavenly King's Palm was like water without a source.
He had been using the Life and Death Scripture to channel spiritual energy to aid in the cultivation of the Heavenly King's Palm. However, he did not know that the Heavenly King's Palm did not require spiritual energy to cultivate, but rather, it was needed when it was used.
Xue Ling was sent flying again and again, but every time, she would pounce on Xue Ling again and again.
Her emerald green clothes were stained with mud. Her jade-like face was also stained with some grass. She lost some of her coldness and suddenly had the aura of a pretty daughter from a humble family.
Her understanding of the Crescent Palm deepened and she learned a lot. With a master who could help her unleash her full strength and point out her weaknesses, her cultivation would be twice the result with half the effort.
The two of them practiced for more than two hours. Xue Ling had no idea how many times she had fallen.
Again and again, he was already numb from the fall. All he knew was to get up and continue attacking. Finally, Chu Li waved his hand and stopped. "Let's stop here for today."
"Master, please continue. I can do it," Xue Ling quickly said.
Chu Li waved his hand. "Don't rush for quick results. You can't get fat in one go. You have to take it step by step to have a solid foundation."
"… Alright." Xue Ling was infatuated with the feeling of improving at every moment.
Chu Li smiled at her and suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, he appeared in Gale City and returned to his house. He sat on his bed and continued to cultivate. Ding Ruijie was like a sword that was placed right in front of his throat and could pierce through at any moment. It was an extremely unpleasant feeling.
It was already sunset. Chu Li sat on his bed and used the Omniscient Mirror to observe the area within a ten-mile radius.
Not far away, Gale Branch was bustling with activity as everyone was cultivating in the courtyard. Chu Li was delighted to see this.
He suddenly felt a little envious of these people. They could just cultivate all day long. Apart from cultivating, they did not have to worry about anything else as long as they followed orders. Their minds were pure and their cultivation progressed very quickly. Their lives were simple and happy.
They were not like him who calculated all day long. His mind was as fast as lightning and the number of calculations he had made was equivalent to half a lifetime for an ordinary person.
If these innocent and happy members of the association were to be harmed by Ding Ruijie, he would feel guilty. That was why he had to stay here and prevent Ding Ruijie from killing anyone.
The Saint, Sun Mingyue, had promised to send top-notch masters to deal with Ding Ruijie. However, Chu Li was not at ease. Ding Ruijie was well-versed in Divination. How could she not have predicted this?
It should not be difficult for her to hide from the masters of the Holy Church of Light using Divination. It should not be difficult for her to predict his location either.
If she did not care about the loss of her lifespan and recklessly sought revenge on him, it would be a great disaster. He might not be able to overcome this obstacle.
She did not have to say much. She only said that he had several identities.
This sentence would arouse Sun Mingyue's suspicion.
With Sun Mingyue's ability, it would be easy for her to find out about his background. She had not found out until now because she did not expect it. She did not expect it because he had been trying his best to hold her gaze and not let her think in that direction.
No matter what, Zhao Dahe's character and appearance could not be linked to his original identity. They were two completely different people.
As he was thinking about this, his expression suddenly changed. He saw an old woman slowly walking towards Gale Branch with a basket in her hand. She was trembling as she walked towards the main entrance.
There were two huge stone lions placed at the main entrance of Gale Branch. Two energetic young men with sharp and threatening eyes stood on both sides of the stone lions. Their eyes were like lightning. They were Innate Masters.
Although they were not perfected, they were not far from it. It was rare to see them at their age. After all, people like him, Fa Yuan, and Lu Yurong were rare. Otherwise, they would not have been so famous.
A skinny young man stepped forward and blocked the old woman. "Madam, this is Gale Branch. Unrelated people are not allowed to enter."
"I'm looking for someone." The old woman was clean and neat. It could be seen that she was a beauty when she was young. Her facial features were good, but her skin was loose and wrinkled. Even so, she did not look ugly. She had a unique temperament.
"Who is it?" The other chubby young man chuckled and asked. "Let me see if I know him."
"Zhao Dahe," the old woman said.
"Zhao … Branch Leader Zhao?" The two young men were stunned.
The old woman nodded. "It's this young man."
The two young men asked carefully, "Are you Branch Leader Zhao's …?"
"Oh, I'm from his hometown." The old woman sighed and shook her head. "I didn't expect this young man to be so successful even though he has no parents. I'm here to take a look."
"This …" The two of them were in a difficult position.
If they did not let her in, it would be against the rules. After all, she was from the Branch Leader's hometown. She might even be a relative. If they let her in, it would be against the rules. After all, she did not have any proof. What if she was a bad person?
The two of them looked at the old woman carefully. They could tell that the old woman did not know martial arts. Moreover, she was trembling. She did not look like a threat.
"Alright, alright. You can go in and take a look," the skinny young man said softly. "But the Branch Leader is busy. He might not be here."
"He's not here?" The old woman frowned. She hesitated and did not want to go in.
At that moment, Kou Qiong strode over and was about to enter the door.
The two young guards bowed respectfully and told him about the old woman.
Kou Qiong looked at the old woman and frowned.
If he said there was something wrong, he could not sense anything. If he said there was nothing wrong, he felt that it was strange and inappropriate. There was something wrong, but it seemed like the old woman felt that there was nothing wrong.
"How about this." Kou Qiong smiled. "The Branch Leader is not here. If he comes back, I'll ask him to look for you."
He decided to trust his instincts and not let the old woman enter the branch.
