Chu Li let out a long sigh of relief and shook his head. A High Official of the Imperial House, he had poked a hornet's nest.
He shook the Modesty Sword lightly. The grey blade was not stained with blood.
He sheathed his sword and turned around to look at the four yellow-robed monks surrounding him. He shook his head and smiled. "Fa Yuan, you're finally here!"
Before he left the city, he had already seen Fa Yuan with the Omniscient Mirror. There were three Grandmasters with him. With four Grandmasters coming together, it seemed like they were determined to take him down. That was why Fa Yuan dared to kill Zhao Zilai.
Fa Yuan had changed into a yellow monk's robe. His head was bald, and his ring scars were eye-catching.
He put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha. He sighed and said, "Almsgiver Chu has committed the sin of killing again. It is a sin!"
Chu Li smiled. "Monk, why don't you chant some scriptures to send him on his way?"
"Almsgiver Chu, follow me back to the Tempest Temple." Fa Yuan sighed. "You can't escape."
Chu Li shook his head. "That might not be the case. We won't know until we fight. Everyone, be careful. My flying blades aren't as easy to deal with as I am."
As soon as he finished speaking, both of his hands shot out.
"Chi!" Two beams of cold light shot out almost at the same time.
Fa Yuan shifted his body to the side and used the Shadow Shift Technique to avoid the blade.
A golden light flashed on the other young monk's face. He stretched out his purplish-golden right palm and pressed it against the flying knife. A purplish-golden radiance appeared in his palm, and the radiance circulated ceaselessly.
The flying dagger shot into the purple-gold light and stopped moving, as if it had sunk into a rock.
Chu Li was surprised. He turned his head and smiled. "Fa Yuan, what martial art is this?"
"Demon Binding Seal." Fa Yuan said faintly, "Brother Fa Ming is extremely talented and has successfully cultivated the Demon Binding Seal. Almsgiver Chu, your flying dagger is useless against him."
Chu Li nodded. "What a Demon Binding Seal!"
A cold light shot out from his right hand.
"Ding …" The flying knife collided with the flying knife in front of Fa Ming's palm.
Fa Ming shouted. The two blades froze in the air at the same time, trembling like snakes. It was as if they were trying to break free from the shackles of the purple-gold light and wanted to drill forward.
Chu Li smiled and shot out another flying blade from his left hand.
"Ding …" The three flying daggers froze in the air at the same time, trembling even more violently.
Finally, with a soft "chi" sound, the flying dagger broke free from its shackles. It shot towards Fa Ming.
Fa Yuan pointed with his finger while the other two monks threw out a punch. The three forces hit the three flying knives at the same time.
"Ding …" The flying knife bounced off in the air.
Fa Yuan extended his left index finger and pointed at Chu Li.
The other three also pointed their fingers.
Four finger forces sealed off all of Chu Li's directions. It was unavoidable.
Chu Li frowned. There were so many of them trying to restrain his Light-body Technique.
A purplish-gold light flashed on his face as he activated the Sentient Menace to block the finger force. Then, he flew away.
"Chi!" A bloody hole suddenly appeared on his body.
This finger force directly broke through the Sentient Menace. It broke through the skin and flesh without any hindrance and pierced through the body. Its power was even stronger than that of a flying knife.
Chu Li frowned. He ignored the pain and looked at Fa Yuan. "As expected of the Tempest Temple. What kind of martial art is this?"
"Perishable Touch." Fa Yuan shook his head. "Almsgiver Chu, it's useless. The Sentient Menace can't block the Perishable Touch."
Chu Li unsheathed his sword and held it in front of him.
The invisible finger force was like a pillar of air in his eyes, clearly visible. He thought that the improved Sentient Menace would be able to block the finger force earlier. He did not expect the Tempest Temple to have a martial art that specifically countered the Sentient Menace.
"Ding ding ding ding …" The finger force hit the sword.
Chu Li floated away and waved his sword to block the finger force.
The finger force from the four monks became more concentrated. The finger force that filled the sky formed a large invisible net that completely covered Chu Li. He relied on the speed of his sword and the finger force to block it.
"Amitabha …" Fa Yuan suddenly chanted and a layer of golden light appeared on his face.
Chu Li noticed something strange. It was different from the golden light of the Sentient Menace. Fa Yuan's Sentient Menace was at a higher level and it flashed with a purplish-gold light.
As the golden light appeared on his face, Fa Yuan became more solemn and holy. It was as if the Buddha had descended to the world, causing people to have the urge to convert.
"Amitabha …" Fa Ming and the other two monks chanted too. Their faces flashed with golden light and they looked solemn and holy.
Chu Li frowned. Their vigor skyrocketed and their cultivation level skyrocketed. An invisible force from the void flowed down like a waterfall, changing their bodies. It was as if they were constantly growing bigger. In the blink of an eye, their cultivation level had increased by four to five times.
Chu Li saw that the situation was not good. He activated Imminent Skyline and appeared two miles away in an instant.
He let out a sigh of relief and frowned as he looked at the bloody hole in his chest. Blood was gushing out like a fountain. The Imminent Skyline just now had aggravated his injury. The method to stop the bleeding was useless. The finger force could not be removed and the blood kept flowing.
"Amitabha …" Four chants sounded almost at the same time.
Chu Li's expression changed slightly. The four monks stepped out of the void and stood two feet away from him, surrounding him.
The golden light on the faces of the four monks was faintly discernible. Their expressions were solemn and their gazes were compassionate. It was as if four Buddha statues were looking at him.
Chu Li furrowed his brows. There was an invisible force in the void that connected them to the heavens and the earth. This invisible force then connected the four of them as one. Chu Li could clearly see this thin layer of power, and it was a power that made his hair stand on end.
He felt as if he was in a well, but he did not dare to touch the surroundings of the well. He could not touch the power that made his heart palpitate.
"Chi!" Four finger forces shot out at the same time.
Chu Li waved his sword to block two and sidestepped the other two.
"Ding ding …" Two finger forces were blocked by the sword. They moved like lightning and instantly drilled into his palm along the sword. Suddenly, a numb feeling spread throughout his body. His body could not help but stagnate.
This stagnation allowed the four finger forces to shoot at him.
He desperately activated Imminent Skyline and disappeared in a flash again.
The four of them disappeared at the same time.
Chu Li suddenly appeared two miles away. He looked down at the two bloody holes in his shoulder and chest. This was more powerful than the Perishable Finger from before. It kept devouring the inner energy around his body. If it was not for the Life and Death Scripture, he would not have been able to move.
The golden light flashed. The four of them stepped out of the void again.
Chu Li did not wait for them to attack and disappeared again.
He did not care about the aggravation of his injury and kept activating Imminent Skyline. The four of them also kept appearing, like shadows following him. When Chu Li appeared at the south gate of Chong Ming Town, they also appeared.
Chu Li was covered in blood. His clothes were bloodied and his face was pale.
It was not even noon yet, but the south gate of Chong Ming Town was bustling with people coming and going. Seeing Chu Li suddenly appear like a bloody man, the people were shocked. Some screamed, and suddenly it was a mess.
Chu Li looked at the four of them who were glowing in golden light. He slowly picked up the white jade waist tag from his waist and raised it above his head.
Fa Yuan and the other three stood quietly twenty feet away from him, looking at him with a compassionate expression like the Buddha.
Chu Li laughed and waved the white jade waist tag.
The people saw the waist tag in his hand and recognized that he was a guard of the House of High Duke. They all made way for him.
Chu Li withdrew his gaze from Fa Yuan and the others. He put away the waist tag and staggered into the town gate. There was blood on the ground under his feet, which caused the people to talk.
Fa Yuan and the other three people flashed and disappeared from where they stood. They were nowhere to be seen.
Chu Li stepped into the town and was rushed by the bustling atmosphere. His vision darkened.
