Instinctively, Chu Li moved to the side and barely avoided the finger attack. However, the other finger attack was already upon him.
Leng Wufeng was overjoyed, so he took the opportunity to attack.
Two great Heavenly deities attacked together, and their Heavenly Deity Fields overlapped each other, the power even more astonishing. The Heavenly Deity Field's power restricted him, forcing him to kneel and beg for forgiveness.
Chu Li suddenly smiled and slowly pulled out his sword.
Leng Wufeng and Monk Liao Ming were taken aback.
The long sword at his waist was unsheathed slowly and clumsily, as if it weighed more than a thousand kilograms. Every inch of movement was extremely strenuous, but it gave them the feeling of a mountain pressing down on them. Moreover, they felt as if they were bound by an invisible force, and could only watch as the sword stabbed towards them.
Chu Li's sword was aimed at Monk Ming.
"Amitabha …" Monk Liao Ming finally put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha. He suddenly disappeared from where he stood and appeared a hundred feet away in the next moment. He looked at Chu Li calmly. "Thank you, Almsgiver Chu."
He could clearly feel that at the last moment, Chu Li's sword had paused for a moment, allowing him to avoid the sword. Otherwise, he would not have been able to avoid the sword. With such a powerful sword, it was no wonder that Chu Li could kill an Enlightened Master.
Chu Li smiled and dodged Leng Wufeng's palm effortlessly. "Alright, Master Ming, it's time for you to leave!"
"Sigh …" Monk Liao Ming sighed helplessly. "Your Majesty, I have tried my best. It is time to leave."
Leng Wufeng asked, "Master, are you going to watch him kill me?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Almsgiver Chu won't do that," Monk Liao Ming said with a smile. Then, he pressed his palms together at Chu Li and his tall figure disappeared into thin air.
Chu Li turned his head and smiled. "Your Majesty, only the two of us are left!"
"Chu Li, while your sword technique is powerful, you might not be able to use it a second time!" Leng Wufeng scoffed.
His heart sank as he knew that he had underestimated Chu Li. The power of this sword was truly beyond his imagination.
Chu Li smiled and said, "Alright then, Your Majesty, please give it a try!"
He sheathed his sword and slowly pulled it out again.
Leng Wufeng yelled and vanished.
Chu Li stopped his sword and laughed out loud. "Your Majesty is such a coward!"
His laughter reverberated through the sky. The entire Divine Capital could hear him.
Leng Wufeng appeared behind Chu Li again with a dark look on his face. He threw a punch at Chu Li, which was infused with his anger toward Chu Li. It was a concentrated Enlightened Master's power, so it was his most powerful punch.
He had been fooled by Chu Li again and again. He was beyond furious and his murderous intent was burning like fire.
Chu Li countered with his palm.
"Bam!" Chu Li took two steps back and looked at him calmly. "Is this all you've got, Your Majesty?"
The might of the Indestructible Body of Vajra was beyond imagination. The power of the deities entered his body, but it couldn't hurt him at all. It was weaker than the flames of the Vermilion Bird. More importantly, the flames of the Vermilion Bird were incomparably domineering. Not only did they relentlessly burn him, but they also didn't let go of any invading inner energy. They directly pounced on it and burned it, turning it into fuel and strengthening it.
This was also the reason why he came to the Forbidden Palace without fear. Once the Enlightened Master's power in the golden plate entered his body, he discovered the power of the Fire of Vermilion Bird. Therefore, he was full of confidence. Even with Monk Ming around and two Enlightened Masters working together, he was not afraid.
Leng Wufeng frowned. He did not expect Chu Li to be this powerful.
Chu Li suddenly drew his sword and slowly unsheathed it again.
Leng Wufeng disappeared again.
Chu Li laughed out loud again.
Leng Wufeng appeared in front of him with a gloomy face and scoffed. "Chu Li, don't you think you've gone too far?"
Chu Li chuckled and shook his head. "Compared to what His Majesty has done, I've been lenient and merciful enough. If you weren't King An's father, I would've sent you to heaven. If the Crown Prince isn't convinced and wants to avenge you, I'll send him to heaven as well. I didn't succeed in the Fu Dynasty, but I can try in the Ji Dynasty."
Leng Wufeng's heart turned cold, and his expression was as dark as still water.
He had personally experienced the power of the Fu Dynasty's Emperor, Tang Haotian. They were both Enlightened Masters, but the difference was like heaven and earth. Now that his cultivation level had skyrocketed by six times, he might be able to compete with Tang Haotian.
Chu Li's power was beyond his imagination. Leng Wufeng had underestimated him, which was why he took the initiative to test him. He did not expect Chu Li to react so violently and attack the Imperial House without hesitation.
Chu Li scoffed. "Your Majesty, my patience is limited. If you provoke me again, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll get rid of the Leng Clan first, then I'll talk to you, Your Majesty!"
"Don't you dare!" Leng Wufeng shouted.
Chu Li chuckled. "You can try me, Your Majesty."
He disappeared right after he finished speaking.
Leng Wufeng looked at the messy Imperial Garden and at the spot where Chu Li disappeared. He stomped his foot, and the ground exploded. The spot where Chu Li was earlier was flattened, and all the flowers and plants were gone.
He panted heavily, and his face was flushed as if he was drunk.
More than ten Imperial House Protectors glided in. Their purple robes fluttered in the wind, and they looked stern.
They knew what had happened earlier, but they dared not come in. When an Enlightened Master made a move, they would be courting death if they showed up.
"Your Majesty …" They fist saluted.
Leng Wufeng gritted his teeth and waved his hand. "Get out!"
"Yes." Everyone quickly retreated and left the Imperial Garden quietly.
Leng Wufeng walked in the dilapidated Imperial Garden with his hands behind his back, and he suddenly turned to look at the void.
Monk Liao Ming slowly appeared and bowed with pressed palms. "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Hmph, Master Liao Ming has a good plan." Leng Wufeng scoffed. "He withdrew at the crucial moment."
"If I didn't withdraw and triggered Almsgiver Chu's killing intent, I'm afraid that both of us …" He shook his head. "I didn't expect Almsgiver Chu's cultivation level to be this high."
He was experienced and knowledgeable. When he was young, he had traveled around the world like Fa Yuan, but he had never met someone like Chu Li. Chu Li was a Grandmaster, but he was not afraid of Enlightened Masters and could even kill them.
Leng Wufeng scoffed. "He wouldn't dare to kill me!"
"Your Majesty, you don't have to deceive yourself." Monk Liao Ming shook his head. "I don't believe that Your Majesty didn't sense Almsgiver Chu's killing intent."
"Hmph!" Leng Wufeng waved his hand. "Are you saying that Chu Li can do whatever he wants in this world?"
"Almsgiver Chu is indifferent, which is indeed a blessing for the people. Your Majesty, just don't provoke him." Monk Liao Ming frowned. "I'm worried about someone else, Almsgiver Chu's rival, Leader Song from the Longevity Church."
"Hasn't he been defeated?" Leng Wufeng asked.
Monk Liao Ming shook his head. "I'm sure Your Majesty knows what kind of person Leader Song's ancestor is. I'm guessing that Leader Song wants to restore his ancestor's glory, which is a catastrophe for the world!"
"What do you want?" Leng Wufeng asked.
Monk Liao Ming said, "Your Majesty, it's better to befriend Almsgiver Chu, just in case Leader Song attacks the Ji Dynasty."
"Befriend him?" Leng Wufeng frowned without saying a word.
Monk Liao Ming smiled amiably. "I'm sure Your Majesty knows this very well. I won't say anything else, I'll make a move first!"
He disappeared abruptly after he finished speaking.
Leng Wufeng was a cold-hearted person who did not care about relationships and only cared about benefits. He had the purest temperament of an emperor. As long as it was beneficial to the throne and the Leng Clan, he would do it even if it was embarrassing.
He believed that Leng Wufeng would still be thick-skinned enough to befriend Chu Li and mend the rift.
