The next moment, he appeared behind Zhong Wancheng and lightly struck with his palm, using the Supreme Diamond Scripture.
He had already seen through the circulation of Zhong Wancheng's heart technique. With the Nature Restoration Manifestation, Omniscient Mirror, and Star Insight, he saw his weakness and predicted the circulation of his heart technique.
This palm was light as a feather, but it accurately struck Zhong Wancheng's fatal weak point.
The stronger the defense of a heart technique, the weaker the weakness.
Zhong Wancheng had already let down his guard. He felt that with Chen Zhenji, an Enlightened Master, he was safe and his Light-body Technique was much slower. Just as he was about to adjust his breathing to suppress his boiling inner energy, Chu Li's palm energy arrived.
This extremely mellow palm force was like throwing a spark into oil.
There was a loud "boom" and Zhong Wancheng spat out a mouthful of blood. He fell to the ground and spat out blood. His internal organs were being attacked by the tyrannical inner energy.
This was being deranged. He had absorbed too much chaotic inner energy which was very pure. If he had the chance to slowly dissolve it, he would be able to transform it into his own cultivation level and greatly improve his cultivation level.
But now, he was barely suppressing it. Any external force would cause him to collapse.
"You!" Chen Zhenji roared.
Sun Mingyue suddenly struck with a Divine Light Fist.
"Bam!" Chen Zhenji blocked the punch with one hand and appeared in front of Chu Li in a flash.
Chu Li disappeared on the spot and appeared beside Sun Mingyue.
As if he and Chen Zhenji had teleported, their positions were reversed.
Chen Zhenji ignored him and looked down at Zhong Wancheng.
His inner energy passed over to suppress the inner energy. In a short while, Zhong Wancheng's meridians were all broken, his internal organs were severely damaged, and his Dantian was destroyed. He had lost his martial arts and became a cripple.
But Chu Li did not think he could really cripple Zhong Wancheng. To an emperor, becoming a cripple was not impossible. As long as he was alive, there was hope. It would be even easier if an Enlightened Master were to take action.
Chen Zhenji looked up at Chu Li and stared at him.
Chu Li smiled. "It's alright. I can recover with a spirit pill. Why are you so angry?"
"Chu Li, I'll remember you!" Chen Zhenji gritted his teeth.
Chu Li said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's my fault."
"You'd better not fall into my hands. Otherwise, I'll definitely make you suffer a thousand times!" Chen Zhenji slowly said, his eyes abnormally resentful.
What angered him the most was that Chu Li had severely injured Zhong Wancheng right in front of his eyes, but he had not been able to stop it in time. It looked as if he had deliberately not stopped Zhong Wancheng, taking the opportunity to cripple Zhong Wancheng.
Zhong Wancheng would definitely be infuriated and think that he had been wrongly accused. However, he did have the panacea that could instantly restore one's martial arts, but it was also very precious. He only had two of them, which were originally reserved for the descendants of the royal family. It seemed that he could only use them now.
Chu Li had ruined his reputation and a spirit pill with just one palm strike, which made him extremely resentful. He had never hated someone so much, especially when Chu Li was smiling, which made him even more detestable.
Chu Li turned his head and smiled. "Marshal Zhong, do you remember your Heaven Suppression Primary Armor Technique?"
"You want to cultivate? Dream on!" Zhong Wancheng said softly as he lay on the ground. He revealed a smile and said, "Moreover, it's impossible for you to cultivate this divine art. Because the prerequisite for cultivating it is to cripple your martial arts, just like what I am now."
"I see …" Chu Li nodded.
After crippling Zhong Wancheng's cultivation, the Heavenly Star Void Technique was able to break through his baleful aura barrier. He had seen through Zhong Wancheng's thoughts.
He wanted to obtain Zhong Wancheng's Heaven Suppressing Armor Technique not because of this technique, but because he knew that it was the Black Tortoise Power. However, Zhong Wancheng would never admit it, or else his identity as a member of the Zheng Dynasty would be exposed.
He was originally a disciple of Black Tortoise Mountain in Zheng Dynasty. Later on, he secretly cultivated Black Tortoise Mountain's secret skill — the Engulfing Heaven and Spitting Earth Technique. After he was discovered, he betrayed Black Tortoise Mountain and fled to Qiu Dynasty.
He was a genius in both martial arts and military affairs. He had integrated the essence of the Black Tortoise Divine Art into the military formation, which allowed him to be as steady as a rock when commanding troops. He had combined the Devouring Heaven and Spitting Earth Technique with the Black Tortoise Divine Art, which allowed his cultivation to advance at an abnormally fast pace, resulting in his current cultivation base.
Chu Li couldn't help but sigh with emotion. There were indeed many geniuses in the world, and it all depended on their own fate and luck. For someone like Zhong Wancheng, if he had stayed in the Black Tortoise Mountain and cultivated according to the rules, it would have been difficult for him to achieve what he had today.
Chen Zhenji slowly got up, his bright yellow robes fluttering in the wind. His killing intent boiled as he punched out.
"Bam!" Sun Mingyue punched out.
The fist force exploded, and dust filled the air.
When the dust settled, Chen Zhenji and Zhong Wancheng were nowhere to be seen.
Sun Mingyue scanned her surroundings and was about to give chase.
Chu Li shook his head. "Forget it."
"This is a rare opportunity! How can we give up halfway?" Sun Mingyue scoffed in dissatisfaction.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "We can't kill Zhong Wancheng!"
"That might not be the case!" Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li said, "Actually, there's no need to kill him. I've received a piece of news that'll be enough to make him suffer!"
"What news?" Sun Mingyue scoffed.
She glanced at the direction where they disappeared unwillingly.
Chu Li smiled. "Zhong Wancheng is a traitor of the Black Tortoise Mountain. Do you think the Black Tortoise Mountain will make a move if this news is leaked to the world?"
"Of course." Sun Mingyue nodded.
The dignity of the sect was above everything else. Once the news of a traitor was known, even if he was the Emperor, he would make a move without hesitation.
Chu Li said, "His original name is Gu Xingfa."
"… Alright, I'll spread the news!" Sun Mingyue said.
After Zhong Wancheng's martial arts was crippled, Sun Mingyue could read his mind. Through Chu Li's questioning, she knew that he did not cultivate the Heaven Suppression Armor Technique, but the Black Tortoise Power.
She was already suspicious, but now that Chu Li said it, she believed him.
Chu Li said, "It's best to subdue the enemy without fighting. We should go to the Reincarnation Temple now."
"Let's wait." Sun Mingyue shook her head.
Chu Li stared at her.
Sun Mingyue scoffed. "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word! … But can we still fight Monk Lun Ming? "
"Why not?" Chu Li asked.
Sun Mingyue said, "How many punches and palms can you throw?"
Chu Li was silent and smiled. "That's true. Alright, let's go to Ten Despair Valley first. I've been wanting to see the Evil Nether Dragon."
Sun Mingyue suppressed her embarrassment. She was furious at Chu Li. This was something he should have said, but he forced her to say it. It was really awkward.
The two returned to Ten Despair Valley to cultivate the Supreme Diamond Scripture. The Evil Nether Dragon was stirring up trouble. The pool water was boiling under its control, and it was beginning to understand the dragon's divine power.
In the evening, the sunset dyed the Reincarnation Temple red.
Chu Li and Sun Mingyue stood in the distance and looked at the Reincarnation Temple.
The chanting lingered in their ears, floating in the air. It was condensed and did not dissipate. It calmed one's mind and made them less murderous.
"Enter the Reincarnation Pagoda directly. We can't delay," Chu Li said softly. "Otherwise, it'll be difficult to enter if we're on guard."
"Alright." Sun Mingyue nodded.
The two suddenly appeared under a dark bronze pagoda and broke through the formation's obstruction.
"Dong dong dong …" Waves of bronze bell sounds echoed throughout the Reincarnation Temple.
