"Ah —!" Song Chengzhi roared at the sky and turned his anger into murderous intent. The white light on his body grew brighter and his sword flashed, killing two Asuras.
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "Young Master Zhao, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape today. Do you really have no other moves?"
"No." Zhao Haiyuan said, "Run if you can."
Even if he helped kill four Great Asuras, there were still thirteen left. With Chu Li's current condition, he could not defeat them and would die in the hands of the Great Asuras sooner or later.
Chu Li said, "It's too late to escape now. But Young Master Zhao, why do you have to do it yourself?"
"I made a mistake and I will pay for it myself!" Zhao Haiyuan said coldly.
Chu Li shook his head. "Since you know you made a mistake, instead of fighting here, why don't you go to the Outland and get more people here!"
"I can't get more people." Zhao Haiyuan said coldly, "I only have these people."
Chu Li sighed. "Looks like we're really going to die this time … Did the Asuras backstab us?"
Zhao Haiyuan said coldly, "There are people in the Asuras who are proficient in divination. I've completely lost this round!"
"I really can't accept this …" Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "I'll leave first and wait for you guys on the road to hell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body began to emit a dazzling golden light with a faint azure halo. The indistinct azure brilliance was easily overlooked, but everyone could tell at a glance that Chu Li was about to ignite his body. He was using a secret skill that would destroy everything indiscriminately. Once the fire reached its peak, he would perish.
Song Chengzhi said, "Chu Li, we won't be lonely on the road to hell!"
Chu Li smiled and his sword flashed brightly. He was about to push the Sky Regaining Sword to its limit for a desperate attack.
Suddenly, a long whistle was heard from afar.
Chu Li let out a long sigh of relief.
Zhao Haiyuan's eyes lit up and he said coldly, "They're finally here!"
Hurried and orderly footsteps were heard from afar. Then, Zheng Tianlong and two thousand city guards appeared. They were dressed in black and looked calm. They maintained their formation when they used their Light-body Technique as if they were an army.
Zheng Tianlong laughed. "Thank goodness I'm not late!"
Song Chengzhi called out, "City Lord Zheng, I can't thank you enough!"
Zheng Tianlong laughed and said, "What's there to thank? Hang in there. This time, we must eliminate them!"
His hatred for Asura was greater than anyone else's, and he would never let go of a chance to exterminate Asura. Thus, even though he had lost many men, he still ran over to support the White Dew Hall.
With the addition of these two thousand city guards, the situation was reversed once again.
Zhao Haiyuan heaved a sigh of relief. Finger forces shot out from his long sleeves. They were formless and soundless, and it was impossible to defend against them. However, they all attacked the thirteen Great Asuras.
This was no different from two people teaming up to fight a Great Asura. Moreover, they had great teamwork. Once the finger energy was aimed at one person, Chu Li would immediately attack. Whenever Chu Li attacked a Great Asura, Zhao Haiyuan's finger energy would follow up with it, forcing the Great Asura to dodge and not dare to take Chu Li's sword head-on.
Through the tacit cooperation between the two of them, they managed to withstand the attacks of the 13 Great Asuras without falling.
As the situation turned for the better, Song Chengzhi and Zheng Tianlong ran over to help Chu Li and Zhao Haiyuan. Chu Li stopped channeling his secret skill. His face was as pale as a sheet, and his breathing was rapid. It was obvious that he was at his limit and would not be able to hold on any longer.
Even so, he managed to hold on for half a day until the 13 Great Asuras floated away and the remaining one hundred Asuras retreated.
Song Chengzhi and the others allowed the 13 Great Asuras to leave with the one hundred Asuras and did not pursue them.
If they pursued them too fiercely, they would be forced to fight to the point of mutual destruction. Who knew how many more men they would lose. The White Dew Hall could not withstand such a huge loss now, so Zhao Haiyuan did not force them to do so.
— —
On the morning of the third day, the sun shone brightly.
Chu Li slowly walked to the main hall of the White Dew Hall.
The hall was bright and soft, but it was empty and too lonely.
Song Chengzhi and Mo Heng sat on the armchairs. Fu Tianlei was nowhere to be seen because he had died in the battle.
As a Supreme Rank master and Deputy Clan Leader, Fu Tianlei was dead. Other than him, there were only five hundred people left in the White Dew Hall. It could be said that their vitality was greatly damaged and their morale was low. Everyone hated Zhao Haiyuan.
If it was not for Zhao Haiyuan's miscalculation, the White Dew Hall would not have faced such a calamity. More than a thousand people could be said to be the worst loss in the history of the White Dew Hall.
Moreover, their losses were greater than the Asuras, so it was not a great victory. It looked like the Asuras had won, so the morale was getting lower and the entire White Dew Hall was filled with a decadent atmosphere.
As the Clan Leader, Song Chengzhi could not be depressed. He could only raise his spirits and work hard to recover.
"Chu Li, I'm going to make you the Deputy Clan Leader," Song Chengzhi said seriously.
Chu Li's face was as pale as a sheet. It was obvious that he had not recovered yet. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Clan Leader, please don't joke around."
"Why would I joke about such things!" Song Chengzhi said, "Although you've only been in the Hall for a short time, your contributions and martial arts are the best among the disciples. You're even better than me. No one will object to you being the Deputy Clan Leader."
Chu Li said, "Don't joke, Clan Leader. Let's not talk about the disciples of the White Dew Hall. Who in the Hall of Rain Masters would agree to me being the Deputy Clan Leader? Besides, I'm not interested in being the Deputy Clan Leader. It's enough for me to kill the Asuras!"
Song Chengzhi said in a low voice, "In the past, the Hall might not agree to you being the Deputy Clan Leader, but it's different now. It's a time when everyone is anxious and you've made a great contribution. Are you saying that you won't be rewarded just because of your identity? This is not the Hall of Rain Masters! "
Chu Li smiled. "Thank you for thinking highly of me, Clan Leader, but I'm really not suitable to be the Deputy Clan Leader. It's good to be like this, there's no need for me to be the Deputy Clan Leader."
"If you become the Deputy Clan Leader, your actions are justified," Song Chengzhi said.
He felt that not only was Chu Li's cultivation level high, but his intelligence was also extraordinary.
However, he also realized that Chu Li did not want to show off his abilities. It was obvious that he did not have a sense of belonging to the White Dew Hall. Exchanging the position of the Deputy Clan Leader for his dedication was a good deal.
When he became the Deputy Clan Leader, he would naturally protect his subordinates. If he had any abilities, he would be able to use them without hesitation. He would not be as worried as he was now.
Just like this time, if Chu Li had not blocked those Great Asuras, he might have lost his life. Chu Li could block more than ten Great Asuras, but he could not and would have been killed by the Great Asuras.
Just based on Chu Li's saving grace, he wanted Chu Li to be the Deputy Clan Leader and become his most capable assistant.
Chu Li sighed. "Clan Leader, I'm not making an excuse. I really don't want to be the Deputy Clan Leader. I just want to focus on killing the Asuras."
"You have nothing to worry about when you become the Deputy Clan Leader," Song Chengzhi said. "Just stay in the White Dew Hall with all your heart."
Mo Heng said, "Chu Li, just accept the Clan Leader's kind intentions. Everyone has seen your contributions and no one is dissatisfied."
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "Deputy Clan Leader …"
"If the Hall of Rain Masters doesn't agree, we will jointly elect someone!" Mo Heng said in a low voice.
Chu Li was stunned.
Mo Heng said, "The Hall of Rain Masters has this rule. If everyone can jointly elect someone, they can become the Deputy Clan Leader."
Song Chengzhi nodded. "Of course, the Hall of Rain Masters can't become the Deputy Clan Leader.
