Li Hanyan shook her head. "I haven't seen Big Brother Du either. He's probably injured and is currently recuperating in isolation. He hasn't come out for a long time."
"Unfortunately, it seems like he can't withstand an Enlightened Master's attack." Sun Mingyue nodded and said to Fang Qingyang, "Give High Official Li the token and send her back."
"Yes," Fang Qingyang replied.
After Li Hanyan left the Divine Light Basilica, she secretly sighed in relief.
Sun Mingyue was indeed powerful. Her aura was as vast as the sea and mountains, even more powerful than Big Brother Chu. She was indeed a heroine. Li Hanyan was far inferior to her. It seemed like she had to work harder on her cultivation.
After descending the Great Light Peak, she rejected Fang Qingyang's escort and walked back on her own.
In the evening, she stopped in a forest to rest. Before the sun set, she started a bonfire. When the bonfire was lit, she looked up and saw a middle-aged man floating in front of her.
The middle-aged man was handsome and wore a black robe. When he came to the bonfire, he glanced at Li Hanyan and said, "Li Hanyan?"
Li Hanyan looked at him. "Who are you?"
"Do you know Zhao Dahe?" the middle-aged man asked.
Li Hanyan frowned. "What Zhao Dahe?"
She really did not know who Zhao Dahe was. Chu Li did not tell her that he was disguised as Zhao Dahe. She only knew that he had an identity in the Holy Church of Light but did not know that he was Zhao Dahe.
The middle-aged man stared at her face as if trying to discern whether she was telling the truth or not. Seeing that she did not seem to be lying, he frowned and shook his head. "Forget it, it's useless to talk about this. If I kill you, Zhao Dahe will naturally appear. You can only blame yourself for mistakenly recognizing someone inhuman. You can't blame anyone else!"
As he finished speaking, he pressed his palm down.
Li Hanyan had goosebumps all over her body. She used a strange footwork to avoid the palm.
The middle-aged man retracted his palm. He did not expect her to have such a body movement technique at such a young age to be able to avoid his palm.
He stopped looking down on her and his body suddenly sped up. He turned into a blurry shadow and suddenly appeared behind her. Then, he slammed his palm down.
"Ding …" Li Hanyan blocked the attack with her sword in time.
The blade of her sword trembled violently like a snake wriggling. It shook to dispel the palm force on the sword. It was a unique and mysterious sword technique.
However, the palm force was extremely condensed. Even the mysterious sword force could not completely dissolve it. The remaining palm force entered her body.
Her face immediately turned red, and then paled.
After the palm energy entered her body, it kept changing, from extreme Yin to extreme Yang, from mist and smoke, to sword and saber. The change was so abrupt that she couldn't react in time. She could only watch as it destroyed her internal organs, and in the blink of an eye, she was severely injured.
When the middle-aged man saw that Li Hanyan was injured, he suddenly sped up and rushed to her. He slammed his palm on her chest, wanting to end her life.
He hated Zhao Dahe, but since he could not find Zhao Dahe, he vented his anger on others. He wanted to kill the people around Zhao Dahe to anger him and force him to show himself.
Li Hanyan's reflexes were extraordinarily fast. Once again, she placed her sword horizontally across her chest.
"Ding …" Li Hanyan was sent flying along with her sword. She tumbled in the air, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
The middle-aged man appeared in mid-air in a flash. He came to Li Hanyan's side and slapped her again.
Bang! Like a muffled thunderclap, a huge hand suddenly appeared and collided with the middle-aged man's palm. The middle-aged man was sent flying.
Chu Li appeared in the air, grabbed Li Hanyan by the waist, and glided to the ground. A stream of inner energy from the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture entered her body and began to dissolve the Nine Kills Palm.
"Big Brother Chu …" Li Hanyan's pale face broke into a smile.
"Miss Li!" An angry roar came from afar. Fang Qingyang shot toward the middle-aged man like a stream of light.
He activated the Divine Light Body and moved as fast as lightning.
"Bang!" He and the middle-aged man's palm collided, and both of them were sent flying.
He was shocked in the air. He did not expect this guy to have such a pure inner energy and such a profound cultivation level. He was slightly stronger than him!
Li Hanyan said, "Big Brother Chu, Xiao Fang is no match for him."
"Mm." Chu Li nodded.
Although Fang Qingyang was a Priest, his cultivation level was the weakest among the four Priests. This middle-aged man was Zhu Hua, Ding Ruijie's senior brother. He was a master of the Prophecy Pavilion, and his cultivation level was far higher than Fang Qingyang's.
Li Hanyan said, "Help Xiao Fang."
Chu Li nodded.
With a point of his finger, a Petrifying Finger shot out soundlessly.
Zhu Hua attacked with palm after palm, pressuring Fang Qingyang so much that he could not catch his breath and kept retreating.
Although he was retreating, Fang Qingyang was not to be outdone. He used his Divine Light Fist to fight back.
He was originally escorting Li Hanyan in secret to avoid any accidents, or to prevent the people from the Holy Church of Light from offending her again. When he saw Li Hanyan starting a bonfire, he went to catch a few musk deer to make food for her.
He did not expect Li Hanyan to be attacked and injured in the blink of an eye. He blamed himself for being careless and was angry that Zhu Hua had injured Li Hanyan. What annoyed him even more was that Chu Li was the one who saved Li Hanyan.
Chu Li had dealt with him before, and he had defeated him.
His killing intent surged, and he wanted nothing more than to kill Zhu Hua with a single punch. Therefore, he fought back recklessly.
The Petrifying Finger was silent, and Zhu Hua's senses were far sharper than an ordinary person's. He was immediately alarmed and knew that he could not take it head-on, so he quickly dodged sideways.
Another Petrifying Finger shot out.
Zhu Hua dodged again.
The Petrifying Fingers formed a net of finger energy that shrouded him. Zhu Hua kept retreating, avoiding the finger energy. Unknowingly, he had retreated more than a hundred feet before he could calmly avoid the finger energy.
Chu Li held Li Hanyan in his arms and activated the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture's inner energy to dissolve the Nine Kills Palm Energy. At the same time, he moved his five fingers and shot out Petrifying Fingers. His inner energy seemed endless, beyond imagination.
The Petrifying Finger seemed to be silent and had no aura, but it consumed a lot of inner energy. Even a Grandmaster could not shoot more than a few times. Chu Li relied on the endless spiritual energy to replenish it, and continued to shoot out finger energy as if it was an ordinary finger energy, maximizing the power of the Petrifying Finger.
Fang Qingyang watched as Chu Li stood where he was, forcing Zhu Hua to keep retreating with a light tap of his finger. He felt very uncomfortable, especially when he saw that Li Hanyan was smiling despite her pale face, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.
Zhu Hua stopped after retreating thirty feet and frowned at Chu Li.
He vaguely felt that Chu Li's aura was familiar, but he was surprised to find that it was not Zhao Dahe.
Chu Li let go of Li Hanyan and stared at Zhu Hua with a serious expression.
He knew that Zhu Hua had not shown his true abilities. The most terrifying thing about the disciples of the Prophecy Pavilion was their body movement technique, which was almost magical. After experiencing Ding Ruijie's body movement technique, he was extremely wary of the disciples of the Prophecy Pavilion.
Although the Petrifying Finger was powerful, it was best at sneak attacks. It could silently freeze one's body and change the situation in an instant.
The disciples of the Prophecy Pavilion had keen intuition and could easily avoid sneak attacks. Once they were prepared, Zhu Hua's body movement technique could not threaten him at all.
Zhu Hua stared at him and sized him up. He scoffed. "Who are you?"
"Chu Li!" Chu Li said in a low voice.
"Chu Li from the Ji Dynasty?" Zhu Hua frowned.
Chu Li said calmly, "That's me!"
He appeared in front of Zhu Hua in a flash and launched a Heavenly King Palm.
He was not afraid of the Heavenly King Palm exposing his identity. It looked normal on the surface and was just a simple palm energy. The only way to counter the Nine Kills Palm was with the Heavenly King Palm.
Zhu Hua countered with his palm.
"Bang!" Chu Li took a step back, but Zhu Hua was sent flying. The Heavenly King Palm was extremely overbearing and powerful.
Fang Qingyang frowned.
He did not expect Chu Li's martial arts to improve so quickly. When they first met, Chu Li was still inferior to him. In just half a year, he had turned the world upside down and surpassed him!
He had already experienced Zhu Hua's palm energy. It was extremely pure and profound. He was not a match for Zhu Hua, but Zhu Hua was defeated by Chu Li and looked like he could not withstand a single blow.
