Lu Xi's eyes were sharp. The moment Chu Li used the Deva-Human Shedding Technique, his body slowed down. This was something that could not be overcome.
Even if he could multitask and activate different heart techniques at the same time, different heart techniques would conflict in his body, so he could only use the Deva-Human Shedding Technique first.
This moment of delay was seized by Lu Xi. Using the power of the formation, he struck Chu Li with his palm and severely injured him.
Chu Li watched as Liang Sheng approached him like a ghost. The Nine Kill Palm was about to hit him. He shook violently, and the wall suddenly rumbled. The moment it collapsed, he drilled out of the wall and left the range of the formation. He turned around and ran.
"If you run, we'll kill Song Wu!" Lu Xi said in a low voice.
Chu Li did not turn his head and shouted, "This is the Prophecy Pavilion, not a place for you to do whatever you want. You've wrongly accused me, Xu Hun, and you want to kill Senior Sister Song. Where is the justice!"
His shout echoed throughout the Prophecy Pavilion. His body suddenly sped up and shot out of the Prophecy Pavilion.
"Ah —!" Liang Sheng roared and chased after him.
Chu Li's voice came from afar. "I don't believe that the Pavilion Master will let you do whatever you want. He'll definitely give justice to me and Senior Sister Song!"
Liang Sheng shouted as he chased, "Bastard, don't run if you're not guilty. You're a spy from the Holy Church of Light!"
Although he wanted to kill Chu Li with one palm, he did not have the thought of risking his life like last time.
After all, Liang Wen had been dead for a few days. His grief was not as strong as before. He was also worried about his lifespan. If he continued to burn it, it would shorten his lifespan by a lot. He did not have many days left to live. It was not worth it for such a guy. The sect could kill him, he could not escape.
Moreover, he saw that Chu Li was heavily injured. He could deal with him without risking his life.
"Whether I'm a spy or not, the Pavilion Master has the final say. You don't!" Chu Li's voice came again. It was thin and light, but it clearly spread throughout the Prophecy Pavilion.
"Ah —!" Liang Sheng was furious. He sped up again and could already see Chu Li's back.
Lu Xi's movement technique was extraordinarily fast as he followed closely behind. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, Old Liang. We can't catch up. This brat's cultivation is really powerful!"
Even the bluestone would have been cut in half by his solid palm strike. Xu Hun's flesh and blood body must have been severely injured, but he was still able to run so fast. Clearly, he had activated a secret technique.
Once he activated his Secret Technique with all his might, they would have no hope of catching up to him, unless they risked their lives and burned their lifespans like he did.
He had only made a move because of a favor. It was not worth it, so he thought of retreating.
Liang Sheng gritted his teeth. "I want to avenge my little brother!"
"Revenge is not in a short period of time. I reckon that after this, he will only have half a life left. When we return, we will ask the Pavilion Master to come out of seclusion and calculate his position."
"…" Liang Sheng hesitated.
"Moreover, he still cares about Little Song. As long as Little Song is in the pavilion, he won't have to worry about where he can escape to." Lu Xi said in a low voice, "Your current situation is not good either, you have to take care of your body. If something unexpected happens to you, what will happen to Xiao Gu?"
Liang Sheng nodded slowly and stopped walking.
The two of them had already left the Prophecy Pavilion and turned around to walk back.
Chu Li hid behind a tree and spat out another mouthful of blood.
Spiritual energy surged from all directions and enveloped his body. It was as if he was immersed in a hot spring, his whole body was indescribably comfortable.
Although Lu Xi's palm strike was powerful, the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture had dissipated most of the force. Moreover, his body was much stronger than before, so his injuries were not as serious. After a short period of healing by spiritual energy, he had mostly recovered.
He pondered for a while and silently returned to the Prophecy Pavilion.
The conversation between Chu Li and Liang Sheng had stirred up a pond of spring water. The Pavilion of Prophecy was bustling with activity. Groups of twos and threes gathered in a small courtyard to discuss the matter. They were especially concerned about Song Wu.
Chu Li found Tan Gu at a glance. He was surrounded by a few people in his courtyard and they kept asking him questions. He glanced over and saw Liang Sheng.
Lu Xi had already left his courtyard and returned to his own courtyard.
He hid in a room silently, waiting for Tan Gu to scold those people away. Then, in a flash, he appeared behind Tan Gu and silently restrained him.
Chu Li's expression changed and his figure followed suit. Soon, he turned into Tan Gu's appearance and dispersed his cultivation level. He used the Life and Death Scripture to hide in the void and slowly walked toward Liang Sheng's courtyard.
He heard the conversation between Liang Sheng and Lu Xi and knew that the pavilion master was in isolated cultivation. Therefore, his previous words probably did not alarm the pavilion master.
This made him heave a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as the pavilion master was not alarmed.
He was most afraid of the pavilion master. He secretly laughed at himself for worrying over nothing. He felt that the pavilion master was always staring at him. It seemed like he was just scaring himself.
The pavilion master was in isolated cultivation and could not come out. Chu Li was extraordinarily bold and wanted to return to teach Liang Sheng a lesson.
He arrived outside Liang Sheng's courtyard and gently knocked on the door.
The middle-aged beauty glided over and opened the door. When she saw him, she smiled. "Young Gu, why are you here?"
Chu Li said casually, "Aunt, come and see uncle-in-law."
The middle-aged beauty shook her head. "Your uncle-in-law is in a fit of anger. Why are you here to cause trouble!"
Chu Li said, "Didn't uncle-in-law teach that guy a lesson?"
"That guy is very difficult to deal with. Your uncle-in-law is scolding him." The middle-aged beauty shook her head and entered the main hall.
When he entered the main hall, he saw Liang Sheng's face was pale but his eyes were burning. He was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back and his mouth was cursing non-stop.
When he saw Chu Li in Tan Gu's appearance, Liang Sheng glared at him and scoffed angrily. "You bastard, what are you doing here!"
"Uncle-in-law." Chu Li shrunk his neck and said helplessly, "Calm down. It's not worth getting angry over that guy."
"What do you know!" Liang Sheng scoffed angrily. "He killed my little brother. Do you think I'm avenging you?"
Chu Li shook his head helplessly.
He took the teacup that the middle-aged beauty brought over and smiled. "Aunt, I have something to say to uncle-in-law."
"You little brat, you still have things to hide from me!" The middle-aged beauty rolled her eyes at him and pursed her lips into a smile. Then, she turned around and left.
Chu Li personally served the tea to Liang Sheng.
Liang Sheng reached out and took it.
Chu Li's fist suddenly passed through his arms and hit Liang Sheng's chest. It was a solid punch.
Liang Sheng immediately froze and did not fly out. The strange force of the Divine Light Fist made him stay where he was and all the force was poured into his body.
Two flying knives turned into electric lights and shot toward him.
"Tss tss!" The two flying knives pierced through his left and right eyes and came out from the back of his head.
Chu Li caught the falling teacup and gently placed it on the table. Then, he suddenly disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was holding Tan Gu in his hand and threw him beside Liang Sheng. The two knives pierced through Tan Gu's eyes.
He picked up one of the flying knives and cut off Liang Sheng's head. Then, he wrapped it in a bag and left without a sound. He did not alert the middle-aged beauty who was watering the flowers in the front yard and disappeared from the Prophecy Pavilion without anyone noticing.
He did this to conceal his identity.
With Lu Xi as a witness, no one would suspect that it was his Xu Hun incarnation. They would only think that it was a top-notch master from the Holy Church of Light.
No one from the Holy Church of Light would find out that he was Xu Hun. This was to prevent them from finding out that he had an incarnation technique and arouse suspicion.
