Chu Li ignored Bao Fang and closed fist saluted to the people around him. "Chong Ming Town is a place where martial arts are prohibited. Killing is strictly prohibited in the town. Martial arts will be crippled for a light offense and death penalty for a heavy offense. This is the rule of Chong Ming Town. Those who violate this rule will be severely punished unless they are Enlightened Masters. This is the promise of the Public House. If anyone in the town sees anyone who violates the rule, they can report to the Public House Protectors!"
Everyone responded in unison.
"Chief Chu, these are masters from the Church of the Divine Blood. Are we really going to kill them?" Someone asked.
Chu Li smiled. "So what if they are from the Church of the Divine Blood? Although the martial arts world of the Fu Dynasty is strong, they have to follow the rules of the Public House in Chong Ming Town!"
"That's great!" Someone exclaimed.
The rules of Chong Ming Town were like a protective talisman for everyone, even those who were skilled in martial arts. There would always be someone stronger than you, and even a master would have enemies. Once you hid in Chong Ming Town, you would be safe and sound. You would be able to take a breather and rest in peace.
Chu Li closed fist saluted and suddenly stabbed with his sword.
Bao Fang was about to move but the sword had already pierced through his heart.
Bao Fang gritted his teeth and pushed his palm forward.
Suddenly, blood spurted out from his palm.
Chu Li tilted his head to avoid it. The blood hit the wall behind him. Small holes appeared on the wall and quickly deepened. Finally, the stone of the wall was corroded into a hole that was half a finger deep.
A few drops of blood splattered on the ground. The thick wooden board emitted white smoke and the smell of burnt wood. The people around them quickly covered their noses and retreated to the corner of the wall.
Chu Li pulled his sword out of its sheath and blood spurted out from his heart.
Chu Li took a step to the side and avoided it.
Bao Fang stared at him unwillingly. "Chu Li, you can't escape."
He did not seem to be affected by the sword. His voice was loud but the sword in his heart did not stop. The Bloody Garment Divine Power made his vitality stronger than anyone could imagine. His heart meridian was severed but he was still full of vitality.
Chu Li said, "Don't worry, go in peace."
Bao Fang clenched his teeth and sneered. "If you kill us, the Church of the Divine Blood will send out all their forces to destroy the High Duke's Public House. Don't think that just because the Sword Moon Sect is our enemy that we'll hit them when they're down. When it comes to dealing with you, both our sects will attack together!"
Chu Li nodded. "Thank you for the reminder."
Bao Fang turned his head and glanced at the crowd, his gaze was intense. "The two sects will attack together, and the Ultimate Temple will also join forces. Not only will we destroy the High Duke's Public House, but we'll also destroy Chong Ming Town!"
Chu Li asked, "Is it not enough to just destroy Chong Ming Town, so you want to destroy the Ji Dynasty as well?"
"You won't be in the mood to joke around in a few days!" Bao Fang said coldly, "With our three sects moving together, how many people can you protect no matter how powerful you are? How many people can survive in Chong Ming Town? "
Chu Li shook his head and said, "Chong Ming Town is not a place that you can destroy just because you want to. Don't forget that we have an Enlightened Master protecting us. Do you really think that the Fu Dynasty can do whatever they want?"
Everyone was originally scared witless. Bao Fang's words might have been exaggerated, but there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that it was true!
Was Chong Ming Town really going to be destroyed? Should he leave Chong Ming Town for a period of time, observe the situation, and wait for the storm to settle down before deciding what to do?
Chu Li's words calmed them down. Yes, there was an Enlightened Master protecting the town, they would not allow them to destroy a town. Moreover, it was the town where the High Duke's Public House was located, normal people would not have to worry.
"Hehe …" Bao Fang shook his head and said, "Do you really think that an Enlightened Master would dare to kill us?"
Chu Li laughed. "If I dare to kill you, forget about an Enlightened Master, you should be on your way too!"
"I will wait for you at the Grandmaster's Boundary!" Bao Fang sneered.
A red light suddenly burst out from his body and he disappeared in an instant.
Chu Li took a step diagonally and stabbed lightly.
"Ugh …" A figure appeared in the void, his body shrouded in a red light.
The tip of Chu Li's sword stabbed into his heart again. The red light slowly dissipated and Bao Fang appeared again.
Bao Fang gritted his teeth, his eyes were spitting fire, and his blood-red face was filled with unwillingness.
Chu Li said, "The Blood God Escape, right? It's really amazing. "
Although the Blood God Escape was amazing, it could not hide from the Omniscient Mirror. Chu Li's speed was also faster, Bao Fang was stabbed when he entered the void. If he was a moment later, the long sword would have stabbed into thin air and he would have escaped.
Bao Fang gritted his teeth and said, "You're really good!"
He originally thought that no matter how powerful Chu Li was, he would not be able to catch him. The Blood God Escape was no different from a divine power. With this skill, he could escape unscathed and had saved his life countless times. He never thought that it would fail in front of Chu Li.
He was extremely unwilling. The six of them were killed before they could even use their secret techniques. One palm for one person. He was lucky enough to take one palm and two sword strikes. The Blood God Escape had consumed too much of his Blood Qi. Now, all of them were gone.
He did not have the time to use his skills before he was killed. This feeling was too suffocating and too unwilling.
He was slightly better. He only had time to use the Blood God Escape, but it was still broken. He could only wait for death.
If Chu Li wanted to achieve his goal of establishing his authority and calming the hearts of the people, he could only kill Bao Fang in front of everyone. Otherwise, people would suspect that he did not dare to kill Bao Fang and secretly let him go. They would question the credibility and determination of the High Duke's Public House.
Chu Li said, "Grand Elder, how many people do you have in the Church of the Divine Blood?"
"A total of ten." Bao Fang smiled sarcastically. "If you kill me, the next time, the nine of them will attack together!"
Chu Li nodded. "Then wait for them to send you on your way!"
With a gentle swing of his sword, he stabbed the center of the chest again.
Bao Fang's eyes widened and stared straight at him. His eyes were dim and lifeless. He was completely dead.
Chu Li's sword contained a strange force that instantly destroyed all of his internal organs, ending his life.
Chu Li glanced at the people and said slowly, "Everyone, just stay here. As long as the High Duke's Public House is here and I'm here, no one will be allowed to act presumptuously!"
"Good — —!" The people cheered and their blood was boiling.
They sighed inwardly. The Supreme Elder of the Divine Blood Church had been killed just like that. It was as easy as killing a chicken. Even if the other nine Supreme Elders were here, it would be useless. Needless to say, the Supreme Elder was the strongest among them. The Divine Blood Church was not afraid of him!
Chu Li saw that the people had calmed down. He smiled and gave a fist salute. He carried Bao Fang and left.
He found a place and cut off Bao Fang's head. Then, he returned to the High Duke's Public House and told Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi about it. Then, he immediately went to the Fu Dynasty.
— —
The Fu Dynasty's Wuji Mountain.
The morning sun shone on the Wuji Mountain. It was lush and green. A gust of wind blew and the sea of bamboos surged like waves.
Chu Li arrived at the foot of the Wuji Mountain and gave a fist salute to the two young men in yellow robes in the gazebo at the foot of the mountain. "I'm Chu Li. I have important news to report!"
"Chu Li?" The two young men in yellow robes frowned and looked at him.
They vaguely felt that the name was familiar. He should not be an incompetent person, but they could not remember who he was at the moment.
Chu Li nodded. "Chu Li from the Ji Dynasty."
"You're the Chu Li who killed Wei Wuwei?" The two of them cried out. They looked at him from head to toe as if they were looking at a strange object.
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "That's me."
"You're really well-known. What are you doing here?"
"I have something important to report to the Wuji Temple."
"What is it?"
"This …" Chu Li hesitated. "Your temple's Zhou Haodong has been killed by the Grand Elder of the Church of the Divine Blood."
