The heavy snowflakes fell on the eight of them but were blocked by an invisible force an inch away. They slid silently to their feet and soon piled up to their ankles.
Chu Li pointed at the residence opposite. "He lives here."
Xue Luoyu extended her hand out of her sleeve. A string of prayer beads was worn on her snow-white wrist. It was plain and lusterless but there was a Buddhist sarira hidden in it. It blended in with the other prayer beads and was difficult to distinguish.
Now, Chu Li was not afraid of this secret skill to distinguish Heavenly Demons. He realized that his Heavenly Demon Scripture was different from the Heavenly Demons from the outside world. Heavenly Demons from the outside world were also formless, but the force that they cultivated was completely different from the Heavenly Demon Scripture.
The Heavenly Demon Scripture relied entirely on the Heavenly Demonic Orb. All the cultivation was contained in the Heavenly Demonic Orb. The Heavenly Demonic Orb could turn into an illusion with a single thought. However, these Heavenly Demons did not seem to have the Heavenly Demonic Orb.
They cultivated the Heavenly Demonic Energy which was extremely powerful. Compared to the powerful physical body of the Heavenly Demonic Orb, the Heavenly Demonic Energy was similar to inner energy. However, it was more powerful and mysterious. It could be used directly on flesh and blood, allowing the body to change at will. Moreover, it was impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.
He speculated that the two came from the same source but had different cultivation paths.
"The courtyard is so big. How do we know who it is?" Wen Yi asked in a low voice.
Chu Li extended his hand. "My Lady, where's the jade pendant?"
Xue Luoyu took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it to him.
Chu Li took it and squinted for a moment. When he opened his eyes, he said, "I'll take the lead and lure him out. Everyone, hide well and act according to the situation. My Lady will then use the secret method to make him reveal his true identity!"
"Okay." Xue Luoyu nodded.
Even if she did not want to listen to Chu Li, she had to do so under such circumstances.
Chu Li floated up and broke through the curtains formed by the heavy snowflakes. He entered the mansion.
"Bang bang bang bang …" Several muffled sounds broke the silence. Chu Li shot out of the courtyard wall like a gust of wind and escaped into the distance.
A middle-aged man in grey was hot on his heels. His appearance was ordinary, but his hands were as thick as a cattail leaf fan, twice the size of a normal person's hands. His body moved like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he caught up to Chu Li's back and struck out with his right palm.
Chu Li turned his head and countered with his palm.
"Bang!" Another muffled sound was heard, and Chu Li shot into the distance like an arrow.
"Where do you think you're going?" The grey-robed middle-aged man sneered and chased after him.
After Chu Li had shot out two hundred meters, he abruptly turned around and changed his direction from north to west. Along the way, he once again received a palm energy from the middle-aged man in gray and arrived at the place where Xue Luoyu and the others were hiding.
Like a white crane, Xue Luoyu flew up into the sky and threw a palm strike in the vast white snow. The Buddha beads on her wrist flashed with golden light.
The palm energy was soundless, and like a gust of wind, it turned into a ray of light that fell on the grey-clothed middle-aged man, catching him off guard.
His body suddenly shook, and then the black fog spread out, surrounding him.
"It really is a Heavenly Demon!" Xue Luoyu snorted.
Wen Yi and the other five surrounded him like ghosts. Their palms and fists collided with each other, attacking fiercely like a storm.
They were all transcendent-grade, and their fists and palms were shockingly powerful.
However, the grey-clothed middle-aged man moved like a ghost, dodging seven or eight out of ten attacks. His body was like a snowflake falling from the sky, moving with the wind and unable to be defeated.
Chu Li stood at the periphery, watching the six people attack wildly. He frowned and said, "We have to take him down as soon as possible, in case there are helpers."
Xue Luoyu said, "You should go up too."
Chu Li said, "I'll protect Lady Siao."
He looked around and did not join in, guarding against a sneak attack on Xue Luoyu. Although Xue Luoyu was a transcendent-grade and had sharp instincts, there was always a chance.
Xue Luoyu shook her head and said nothing.
This clearly showed the difference between Wen Yi and the others and Chu Li. They only cared about fighting the Heavenly Demon and wanted to take it down, but they did not care about her safety. On the other hand, Chu Li did not regard taking down the Heavenly Demon as the most important thing. Instead, he prioritized protecting her.
As Xue Luoyu thought about this, she lightly struck out with her palm, and a clear light shrouded the grey-clothed middle-aged man.
However, the grey-clothed middle-aged man's instincts were amazing, and he actually sensed the boundless palm energy. At the crucial moment, he suddenly dodged and the clear light missed.
Xue Luoyu frowned and joined in the frenzy of the six people.
Chu Li's body did not move, but the Sword of Oblivion was activated.
"Bang bang bang bang …" The grey-clothed middle-aged man's body suddenly staggered, and black light flashed on his body. He was hit by an invisible force and could not stand steadily. It was the Sword of Oblivion that turned into a long knife and slashed.
Xue Luoyu and the others took the opportunity to attack him.
After the grey-clothed middle-aged man was stunned, his aura suddenly skyrocketed, and his cultivation level suddenly increased by five times. The seven people who were initially evenly matched with him were suddenly flustered.
However, the seven people cooperated well and soon gained the upper hand.
Chu Li suddenly shouted, "Reinforcements are here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a long whistle was heard from afar.
The whistle was melodious and pleasant, and it traveled very far. It did not sound murderous, but only the joy of meeting a good friend.
Chu Li shouted, "Quick!"
When Xue Luoyu and the others heard the whistle, the grey-clothed middle-aged man heard it too. He suddenly became alert, and his cultivation level seemed to increase by a notch. He was instantly suppressed, and he took the opportunity to escape.
Chu Li and the others hurriedly chased after him, but the Heavenly Demonic Energy was originally based on speed and strangeness, and the Light-body Technique would double its speed. Moreover, it was in the middle of a violent secret skill, so it was even faster than lightning.
They chased for ten miles, out of the snow-covered city, and came to a towering forest on the outskirts. The grey-clothed middle-aged man flashed into the forest and disappeared.
At that moment, an old man with white eyebrows and beard came out of the forest and blocked their way. He shouted with a gloomy face, and scoffed, "Who are you?"
Chu Li said, "My Lady!"
Xue Luoyu pushed out her palm, and light sprinkled down.
Suddenly, the old man was shrouded in black light, and the black light completely engulfed his body.
"It's the Great Heavenly Demon!" Xue Luoyu shouted.
The expressions of Wen Yi and the others changed slightly.
Great Asuras were difficult to deal with, and the Great Heavenly Demon was even more so. Although they were Supreme Grade, they could not help but tremble. They slowly surrounded him, and then slowly approached him, cautious and vigilant.
"Are you from the Rain Master Palace?" The old man with white eyebrows and beard asked.
He did not care about the black light circulating around him, and calmly sized them up.
Xue Luoyu said, "How dare you barge into our hinterland!"
"It's just a Grandmaster. I can come and go as I please." The old man shook his head. "But since you've come to me, you can only blame your bad luck and bad fate!"
He suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Wen Yi, and slammed his palm down.
His body movement technique was unimaginably fast. Wen Yi felt that something was wrong, but it was too late to move.
Just as the palm energy was about to reach him, a palm suddenly appeared behind him, and it was Chu Li's right palm.
"Bang!" Chu Li and the old man's palm collided, and he felt a gloomy force instantly enter his body. It was as pure as the water of an ice spring, and then it turned into scorching magma, as if it was going to evaporate all the blood in his body.
Chu Li frowned and took a step back to relieve the force. The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture and this strange inner energy faced each other. When it changed, the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture's inner energy changed as well. Yin and Yang were exchanged, and the transition between real and fake was so fast that it was dazzling.
The old man frowned and looked at Chu Li, feeling strange. Almost no one could withstand his Heavenly Demon Palm, and even those with a higher cultivation level than him would be slightly injured, but this young man did not seem to be injured.
Wen Yi's face darkened, and he slammed his palm.
"Bang!" The old man slammed his palm, and Wen Yi was sent flying.
Only then did the others realize how powerful this Great Heavenly Demon was.
