Xu Yongning, the pavilion leader of the Prophecy Pavilion, looked at Sun Mingyue calmly. "Are you the Saint of the Holy Church of Light, Sun Mingyue?"
"That's me." Sun Mingyue nodded lightly. Her face was covered by a white veil, revealing only her clear and cold eyes. "I've long heard of Pavilion Master Xu's great name. Now that I've seen you in person, your reputation is well-deserved. Your pavilion killed two of my sect's Law Kings. Impressive! "
Her last two words of admiration seemed to be squeezed out from the gaps between her teeth.
"Same to you." Xu Yongning looked at Chu Li, who was channeling to heal himself, and said calmly, "Sneaking into my pavilion to assassinate an elder is impressive too. I'd like to learn a thing or two from you!"
Xu Yongning's eyes sparkled. His pupils, which were devoid of white, shone like black diamonds.
Sun Mingyue scoffed and threw out a Divine Light Fist. Xu Yongning struck out with his palm.
"Boom!" It was like a clap of thunder.
A strong gust of wind blew, sending sand and pebbles flying. Weeds were uprooted and swept away.
Chu Li's clothes fluttered in the wind. The surging force was like a tidal wave, trying to push him away. He stood firmly and did not retreat.
Sun Mingyue and Xu Yongning did not retreat at all.
Chu Li narrowed his eyes. Sun Mingyue's strength was truly terrifying. It was as if it was limitless and grew stronger with each opponent. Xu Yongning's cultivation level had doubled after using this secret skill, but Sun Mingyue was not at a disadvantage.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …" Amidst the sounds of thunder, the two of them kept exchanging blows.
Chu Li's clothes fluttered in the wind. His surroundings had been cleaned up. Not a single blade of grass was left, and even the sand had been removed. It was extremely clean.
Xu Yongning's deep eyes flickered. An invisible force was emitted, making people want to avoid the fight. They wanted to admit defeat and stop fighting with him.
Sun Mingyue was unmoved and continued to throw out Divine Light Fist.
Chu Li's Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture made him as steady as a rock, but he was curious about the secret skill that Xu Yongning was using to have such power.
Once this Secret Technique was used in the right place, it would be extremely powerful.
Xu Yongning frowned inwardly. He did not expect that his mystical secret skill would not work. He wanted to bewitch Chu Li and turn him into his assistant to attack Sun Mingyue. Even if he could not defeat Sun Mingyue, he could distract her and give himself an opportunity to take advantage of.
He was confident that he could control Chu Li, but he did not expect Chu Li to remain motionless and unaffected.
After he struck out with his palm, he suddenly looked up at the sky.
A ray of starlight fell from the sky to the top of his head like a thin thread.
The starlight was so faint that it was almost invisible. It was especially hard to notice during the day, but it could not hide from Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror.
When he saw the starlight, Chu Li felt that it was vaguely familiar. Then, he remembered that it was similar to the one he saw in the Stargazing Pavilion. It was also starlight that fell on top of one's head, constantly channeling energy.
Xu Yongning's palm was as light as a feather, while Sun Mingyue's Divine Light Fist was still the same.
"Pop!" It was like a pebble falling into a deep well.
Xu Yongning's black robe fluttered. Sun Mingyue took a step back and frowned.
Xu Yongning smiled faintly and continued to strike out with his palm.
Sun Mingyue countered with her Divine Light Fist.
"Pop!" It was like a pebble falling into a deep well, but this pebble was smaller, and the well was deeper. The sound was especially crisp and deep.
Sun Mingyue took another step back.
"Pop, pop, pop, pop …" Xu Yongning continuously struck out with his palm. Sun Mingyue still countered with her Divine Light Fist and kept retreating.
Chu Li also took a few steps back. Xu Yongning gradually gained the upper hand while Sun Mingyue was at a disadvantage because she did not use her secret skill.
However, even if she was at a disadvantage, she could not do anything to her for a while.
Chu Li was bored watching. Their techniques were not exquisite at all. They were relying on their internal energy to fight and suppress each other.
Xu Yongning was suppressing Sun Mingyue. Sun Mingyue kept retreating until she unknowingly retreated to a wall.
Chu Li suddenly shouted, "Saint, be careful!"
He saw a thick starlight fall from above Xu Yongning's head. It was colorless and soundless as it blended with the void. It was overbearing and its murderous intent was like an invisible sword.
The starlight pierced the top of Xu Yongning's head. His eyes flashed and his palm energy suddenly became light. It was like a lover's caress. There was no longer any murderous intent.
Chu Li felt that something was wrong and quickly reminded her.
When Sun Mingyue heard him, her graceful body swayed and she easily dodged the palm.
"Boom!" The palm energy shot out and hit the wall behind Sun Mingyue. It was like a galloping horse had crashed into it. The wall let out a loud sound and trembled slightly.
A hole appeared in the wall. The palm print had penetrated the wall.
Sun Mingyue frowned and looked at Xu Yongning.
A snow-white brilliance flashed across the sky and fell on Sun Mingyue's body like a waterfall. Her entire body flashed with a warm brilliance, and her body seemed to have turned into a white jade statue under the light.
Chu Li shook his head. This secret skill of hers was not the Secret of Great Light that burned her blood essence. It was just an ordinary secret skill. Sun Mingyue was too careless.
Then, he thought, 'Why didn't she use the Secret of Great Light directly? Instead, she used this harmless secret skill. It seems like she doesn't have enough murderous intent.'
"Bang!" The palm energy and the fist energy collided with each other a meter away. There was a loud bang and it felt like a thunderbolt had landed between the two.
A round pit appeared on the ground.
Chu Li could not help but take a step back. The surging force forced him to retreat.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …" Sun Mingyue took a step forward and threw a punch. With each step, she threw a punch. Step by step, she forced Xu Yongning to retreat. Soon, he left the bottom of the wall and arrived at the bluestone path.
The fresh flowers around the bluestone path were torn apart by the tyrannical force. They were crushed and swept far away.
Chu Li's initial heavy injuries were reduced to minor ones.
His body was strong. In addition to the miraculous spirit pill that Sun Mingyue had given him and the help of the Life and Death Scripture, his internal organs had mostly recovered. The inner energy of the Great Light Scripture flowed continuously.
Suddenly, his expression changed. He stood in front of Sun Mingyue and faced the palm that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Bang!" He flew backward and spat out a mouthful of blood in the air.
Sun Mingyue twisted her body and avoided Xu Yongning's palm that suddenly sped up. She appeared in the air and supported Chu Li with both hands.
Chu Li's face was pale and his breathing was weak. He looked at Sun Mingyue with a bitter smile.
He did not expect that he would sacrifice himself to save Sun Mingyue. No matter how fast his brain was, it could not be faster than his body's instinctive reaction. His body blocked the palm before his brain, completely disregarding his own safety.
He smiled bitterly and thought about why he did that. Could it be to repay Sun Mingyue for saving his life?
Sun Mingyue gently put him on the ground and looked up at the young man standing beside Xu Yongning. Her eyes flashed with a cold light.
This time, it was Zhao Dahe who had saved her. If he had not blocked the palm, she would not have been able to avoid this silent palm that appeared out of nowhere.
This palm was sudden and mysterious. It was impossible to guard against it. She was in the middle of making her move, so there was no way she could have avoided it.
She looked at Chu Li's pale face with mixed feelings. His injuries had worsened. This time, his life was in danger.
