Chu Li sighed to himself. No wonder he felt threatened. It was not because this mountain was dangerous, with hidden beasts and formations, but because there was a powerful master lying in ambush.
To be able to avoid the Omniscient Mirror's observation and not make a move, he had the Integration of Heaven and Man, like a rock around him. Once he made a move, it would be a thunderous blow. He could control the short sword like how he controlled the Heavenly Demonic Blade and give him a fatal blow. This person was indeed a powerful master.
The hole in his chest was like a gap. All the energy gushed out like a flood. In the blink of an eye, he had no energy left in his body.
The Omniscient Mirror showed that a skinny, slender middle-aged man was leaning against a tree and staring at them from a hundred meters away. His eyes were like lightning, and when their gazes met, the man's thin, handsome face was indifferent and his gaze was calm. He looked at him as if he was looking at a stone or a piece of wood, completely emotionless.
Chu Li's eyes suddenly flashed with a blue light.
"Bang!" The middle-aged man flew out and spat out a mouthful of blood in the air.
Soon after, another cold light flashed. Another cold light soared into the sky and shot towards Chu Li again.
Chu Li was already prepared. He observed the short sword and dodged it as soon as it flashed.
Although he had no energy left in his body, he forcefully squeezed out a bit of energy and moved a foot to avoid the cold light. His body did not have another hole.
"Bang!" He hit a tree and slid down softly.
He ignored the pain and quickly took out a jade bottle. He pulled out the cork and poured out a white pill. He crushed the wax seal and threw it into his mouth. It turned into a breath and swallowed.
He pressed his hand on the hole in his chest to stop the energy from gushing out. As the energy disappeared, his body became weaker and weaker. He could not hold on for long. The Scripture of the Heavenly Demon was not very effective in this body.
If it was his original body, he would have sealed the wound. Even if he did not heal, he would not bleed and lose his energy. However, he could not do that now. He was still bleeding.
He took out another jade bottle and poured out some red ointment. He applied it on the wound and sealed the blood. He let out a long sigh of relief.
The Omniscient Mirror had already seen that the middle-aged man had fallen to the ground and was struggling to get up. His face was as pale as a sheet and he looked dazed. He had yet to recover from the God Punishing Thunder Sword.
Chu Li sneered. He did not have any strength now and could not use his inner energy. His spiritual energy was still there, and the power of the God Punishing Thunder Sword was still there. Although the middle-aged man's sword-riding technique was amazing, it was not as divine as Chu Li's. After both of them fell to the ground, they fell into the forest a hundred meters apart. The middle-aged man could not see Chu Li, but Chu Li could see him clearly!
"Bang!" Another muffled sound rang out, and an azure light flashed in his eyes.
After the middle-aged man was hit by the God Punishing Thunder Sword, it was as if he had been hit by a huge tree. He flew straight up and crashed into a tree behind him. Once again, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was even paler, and his expression was blank. He had already lost the ability to think.
Chu Li gritted his teeth and restrained his murderous intent. He focused on channeling his energy and gathered all the energy in his body.
He wanted nothing more than to kill the middle-aged man with his sword. However, the situation was critical, and he could not afford to have his way. If he really killed the middle-aged man, what if he did not have the strength to deal with Cheng Wenchuan and the others who caught up?
Although he ran fast, this middle-aged man who was riding the sword must be from the Divine Church of the Sun. They could communicate with each other and know each other's location, so he would definitely catch up. He could not rely on luck.
His top priority now was to heal his injuries and recover his strength so that he could protect his body when he was moving in the void. Otherwise, once he used the Void Diversion, his body would immediately collapse, and he would have sacrificed this body of the Soul Lotus for nothing.
After the Spirit Medicine entered his body, it quickly took effect. After a while, the heat in his abdomen surged and began to spread to his limbs and bones. His originally weak and cold body gradually warmed up.
He hurriedly urged this heat to circulate and heal the injury on his chest.
His expression became more and more ugly, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted.
He never thought that the body formed by the Soul Lotus would be so difficult to repair. If it was in the original body, flesh and blood could be regenerated in a moment. The magical effect of the Life and Death Scripture could increase the speed of growth by a hundred times.
However, the body of the Soul Lotus was strange. The Life and Death Scripture seemed to be ineffective. Even if it was effective, it was far from the original body. It was a hundred times slower, and the circulation of the Life and Death Scripture only sped up a little.
This little improvement was close to nothing, and it was useless. It was impossible to recover before they arrived, and there was no way to recover to the point of moving in the void before they arrived.
His expression was ugly, and he could only find another way. The surrounding Spirit Qi surged, and he let out a long breath. Fortunately, the Life and Death Scripture was not completely destroyed, and could still gather Spirit Qi and quickly convert it into power.
However, the hole in his chest was constantly dissipating power.
One condensed, and the other dissipated. The two reached a weak balance. He wanted to quickly convert it into inner force, accumulate it into Gang Qi, and protect his body while moving in the void, but the idea of quickly converting it into inner force and accumulating it into Gang Qi failed.
The protective Gang Qi was different from the Sword Qi of the Sword of Indifference.
The Gang Qi formed by converting Spirit Qi directly into inner force was not strong enough. It needed to be formed in the body through a special mental cultivation method, and once the inner force entered the body, it would directly leak out from the hole in his chest.
The only plan now was to fight to the death.
Cheng Wenchuan and the others were already close, and they were about to surround him.
Chu Li glanced at the unconscious middle-aged man, and let out a long breath. He did not waste any more spiritual energy to kill him, and it was better to save his energy to deal with Cheng Wenchuan and the others. He did not know if he could escape.
He did not dare to have too much hope with just his Light-body Technique, because the disciples of the Church of the Sun could summon their companions, and they would constantly surround and intercept him. Even if his inner force was endless, his soul was not, so he had to save it.
He turned into a phantom and floated into the air, using the Spirit Qi to directly convert his Spirit Qi into a shadow, and shot out. Cheng Wenchuan and the others were still a mile away, and it was impossible for them to catch up.
"Swoosh!" A cold light suddenly shot out.
Chu Li was prepared this time, afraid that there would be a second person lying in ambush, but this sword was faster and more accurate than the previous one. He had just moved half a foot away when the cold light had already arrived, and shot his lower abdomen.
"Swoosh!" A hole appeared in his lower abdomen, and blood spurted out.
Chu Li gritted his teeth, and his eyes flashed blue.
"Bang!" A young man a hundred meters away flew out, and spat out a mouthful of blood in the air.
Chu Li did not expect this sword to be shot by such a young man, and it was even more ruthless than the previous one. If he was not prepared in advance, he would not have been able to dodge it, and would have been shot in the head.
He thought that if he was shot in the head like this, there was no way he could survive.
With a strong murderous intent, he instantly shot out three God Slaying Thunder Swords, and then another three swords.
The young man could not take it anymore, and flew out in the air again. He spat out another mouthful of blood, and hung limply on a tree branch.
Chu Li did not stop moving, and while he activated the Life and Death Scripture to convert Spirit Qi into Inner Energy, he used his Light-body Technique to move quickly, and at the same time, he took out two jades, one for internal consumption, and the other for external consumption, to slow down his injuries.
However, the damage to him was too heavy, and it made things worse. His body could not take it anymore, and what was more frightening was that as his body weakened, so did his soul.
