As he spoke, he was already close to Hu Zonghua.
Hu Zonghua slowly pulled out a long sword from his waist with a calm gaze.
It was broad and plain, the blade was dull and without the domineering aura of the Monarch Descends Sword. It was so simple and unadorned. If one didn't know about it, they wouldn't think it was a treasure sword.
Song Chengzhi, however, had some misgivings.
He could see Hu Zonghua's determination, and he felt a headache coming on. The people of the City of Ten Thousand Swords understood swords too well, and they also had many unimaginable abilities. If Hu Zonghua could really destroy the Monarch Descends, then it would really be a disaster for him.
Not only would he not get the Monarch Descends Sword, he would also provoke the City of Thousand Swords into a life and death struggle.
The other two Protectors wanted to sneak closer but couldn't. Hu Zonghua wasn't alone. The other five had already surrounded him. If he really wanted to make a move, he would have to defeat them first and that would be enough time to destroy the Monarch Descends Sword.
The scene was at a standstill. Song Chengzhi racked his brains but couldn't think of a solution.
Chu Li held his chest and shouted in the air: "Watch my sword!"
He pulled out the Heaven Killing Sword from his waist and threw it at Hu Zonghua. It turned into a black light and shot into a tree at the side.
"Bang!" The thick ancient tree exploded into pieces. The Heaven Killing Sword fell to the ground and was almost turned into a pile of white powder.
The sword was only twenty meters away from Hu Zonghua. He immediately stepped to the side of the Heaven Killing Sword and reached out to pick it up. The Heaven Killing Sword that he had been chasing so hard had appeared in front of him. How could he resist? As long as he got the Heaven Killing Sword, he could use the secret skill to escape. Song Chengzhi and the others were powerful but there were only three of them. They couldn't catch up. As long as he could send the Heaven Killing Sword back to the City of Thousand Swords, it would be a great achievement.
"Courting death!" Song Chengzhi roared. He didn't even have time to glare at Chu Li. He slapped at Hu Zonghua but it was too late. Hu Zonghua had already picked up the Heaven Killing Sword and revealed an ecstatic expression.
The other five surrounded Hu Zonghua and stopped Song Chengzhi's palm energy and the other two Protectors.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …" Muffled sounds rang out incessantly like muffled thunder, causing one's blood to surge.
Chu Li lightly struck out with his palm.
A beam of golden light descended from the sky and landed directly on top of Hu Zonghua's head, transforming into a golden palm that slammed down.
Bang! Hu Zonghua fell straight down, his head smashed like a watermelon, red and white matter bursting out.
"Alright!" Song Chengzhi was overjoyed as he turned into a wisp of smoke and instantly appeared beside Hu Zonghua. He grabbed the Monarch Descends Sword and was about to take over the Heaven Slaughtering Sword.
Chu Li said, "Be careful!"
Song Chengzhi was not stupid either. He knew that Hu Zonghua was knocked down straight and did not make any movement to dodge. He must have been plotted against by Chu Li, and the source of the plotting came from that Regicide Sword.
He retracted his hand and only held the Monarch Descends Sword in his hand. Then, he laughed out loud, "The Monarch Descends Sword is here. Hurry up and scram, or I'll kill you all!"
The five middle-aged men retreated and glared at Song Chengzhi before glaring at Chu Li.
Chu Li clutched his chest. His face was pale as he smiled at them. "If you're not convinced, you can continue to hunt me down. I won't fall for your tricks next time. I'll kill whoever comes my way!"
"Chu Li, you will die without a doubt. If you kill someone from our City of Ten Thousand Swords, no one will be able to live!" A middle-aged man said coldly.
Chu Li smiled and walked forward slowly.
However, the middle-aged man did not look at him. Instead, he looked at Song Chengzhi. "Clan Leader Song, we'll definitely take back the Monarch Descends Sword. You've gotten yourself into big trouble. You'll bring disaster to the White Dew Clan!"
"Haha, I'll have to see that!" Song Chengzhi laughed and waved the Monarch Descends Sword. "Hurry up and scram. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As he spoke, he lifted Hu Zonghua's corpse with the tip of his foot.
The five men took Hu Zonghua's corpse and left. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared.
Chu Li walked slowly toward Song Chengzhi. He bent down to pick up the Regicide Sword and sheathed it. Then, he gave a fist salute. "Thank you, Clan Leader Song. I can't repay you for saving my life. I can only thank you!"
"You're Chu Li?" Song Chengzhi smiled and sized him up. His gaze was like cold electricity as if it could penetrate through his organs. "Chu Li from the Ji Dynasty?"
Chu Li smiled. "My name is not worth mentioning. I didn't expect Clan Leader Song to have heard of me."
"You're quite famous. It's not easy to kill a Great Asura." Song Chengzhi said, "How did you get entangled with them?"
Chu Li shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Don't mention it. I exposed the Regicide Sword and caught the attention of the City of Ten Thousand Swords. They said it was one of their Nine Swords and wanted me to return it to its rightful owner. In fact, they wanted to steal my sword."
"The Regicide Sword …" Song Chengzhi said, "It's indeed one of the Nine Swords of the City of Ten Thousand Swords. It's been lost for thousands of years. Now that it suddenly appeared in your hands, of course, they won't let it go. You're getting into trouble because of your wealth."
Chu Li took out a pill and swallowed it. He sighed. "Even if it's one of their Nine Swords, I can't just hand it over. After all, most of my martial arts came from the Regicide Sword."
"Regicide Sword Technique?" Song Chengzhi nodded. "No wonder it can kill a Great Asura. But this thing consumes a lot of life."
Chu Li said, "I had a fortuitous encounter. My life is extremely long. I'm not afraid of consumption."
Song Chengzhi smiled. "That's a good match for you. With the Regicide Sword, how could you be hurt by them? Even a sword formation isn't that powerful, right?"
Chu Li sighed. "I didn't expect the Sovereign Descending Sword to be able to restrain the Regicide Sword. Its power was greatly reduced. I was trapped by their sword formation and couldn't escape. I was stabbed once and only managed to escape after risking my life. If it wasn't for Clan Leader Song's help, I would've been dead for sure!"
Song Chengzhi saw that Chu Li's aura was fluctuating and his body was empty. He did not doubt Chu Li's words. If it wasn't for him, Chu Li would've died even if he could kill one or two disciples from the City of Ten Thousand Swords.
He smiled. "How do you plan to repay me for saving your life?"
Chu Li closed fist saluted. "I'm new here. I really don't have much to repay. I can only repay you in the future."
"Actually, you don't have to wait. You can help now," Song Chengzhi said.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and revealed a doubtful expression.
Song Chengzhi said, "Do you want to join the White Dew Clan?"
Chu Li was stunned. He then shook his head. "Clan Leader Song, please forgive me. I'm a disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain and I'm used to being alone. I really can't be restrained."
"You're alone and even have Goddess Attraction Mountain. There's no way you can escape from the City of Ten Thousand Swords." Song Chengzhi shook his head. "It's not that I want to diminish your prestige. Even if you can kill the Great Asura, you're a Supreme Celestial Being. You won't be able to defeat the City of Ten Thousand Swords. There are many old monsters in the City of Ten Thousand Swords. They all have earth-shattering powers. There's still a huge difference between them."
"Thank you for your kindness, Clan Leader Song." Chu Li sighed.
Song Chengzhi smiled. "You're a smart person. You should understand that there's only one way out now. Join the White Dew Clan. Under the protection of the White Dew Clan, the City of Ten Thousand Swords can't do anything to you."
He knew of Chu Li's achievements. He was a powerful person. Even if his cultivation level was not good, he had the Regicide Sword.
The Regicide Sword had astonishing power. If he could join the White Dew Clan, the White Dew Clan would have a sharp blade.
