Chu Li's sudden appearance startled Hou Xianji.
Although he was chased by Chu Li once, he was not too vigilant.
First of all, he was very confident in his ability to escape. He did not think that Chu Li would be able to catch up to him and knew where he was. Second, he did not expect Chu Li to have the guts to come to Wildfire City to kill him.
Wildfire City was the territory of the Equal of Heaven Sect. Whoever killed here would be punished by the Equal of Heaven Sect. A light punishment would be a broken arm or leg and thrown out of the city. A heavy punishment would cripple one's martial arts and even put one's life in danger.
The Equal of Heaven Sect was a great deterrent to the martial arts world. The monks of the Great Mercy Temple did not have that kind of courage.
He furrowed his brows and glared at Chu Li, scoffing, "Who are you, boy?"
Chu Li had the appearance of a simple and honest young man, and his aura was that of an ordinary master.
He said in a low voice, "This brother wants to hurt the two ladies, right?"
"You want to be the hero and save the damsel in distress?" Hou Xianji frowned, killing intent flashing in his eyes. He hated the idea of being the hero and saving the damsel in distress. Using himself as a stepping stone to curry favor with two women was truly unforgivable.
Chu Li asked, "How did these two ladies offend you?"
"How did you know that I was going to kill them?" Hou Xianji said angrily. "I just wanted to go over and greet them and ask about their sects. Don't measure the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure!"
Chu Li shook his head and said, "Brother, you have a murderous aura all over you. You don't look like you're greeting someone. You're going to kill someone. You can't hide it from me. I've been particularly sensitive to murderous auras since I was young."
"Do you know that you're courting death?" Hou Xianji scoffed helplessly. Without waiting for Chu Li to speak, Hou Xianji flashed in front of him and reached out his claws to crack his skull and eat his brain.
Chu Li's body abruptly expanded and his clothes billowed. It was as if he had activated some kind of secret skill to evade the claw. At the same time, he slammed his palm forward. His palm energy was turbulent and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.
He had to play it safe so that Hou Xianji wouldn't be able to use his treasures in time.
Hou Xianji thought nothing of it. He felt that Chu Li had used a secret skill and could not be maintained for long. Moreover, it would be very easy to take him down. Hence, his next claw attack was even faster, like a flash of lightning.
Chu Li extended his palm to meet the attack.
"Bang!" A ring of light suddenly exploded in the sky.
The halo spread out and formed an arched door. It was as if the gates of heaven had been reopened.
Hou Xian immediately took a step back and avoided Chu Li's palm. He raised his head to look at the light door in the sky and glared at the two women a hundred meters away with a gloomy face.
These two women were beautiful, but their cultivations were very ordinary. However, there was a faint clear aura around their bodies, indicating that their aptitudes were very good. The brains of these women were even more delicate and delicious, and the harvest would be even greater.
However, he had never thought that these two women would be disciples of the Southern Sky Gate. This was like poking a hornet's nest. The best thing to do was to escape, but it was too late now. He knew the strength of the Equal Sky Gate.
Once the Southern Heaven Gate's signal was released, the Equal Heaven Gate's experts would arrive quickly.
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, a silhouette appeared.
The first one to appear was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His cultivation was astonishing. He suddenly appeared beside the two girls and said in a deep voice, "Junior Sister Mo, Junior Sister Jing, which one of you is blind?"
The two girls pointed in his direction.
Chu Li groaned to himself.
This young man was Fan Yi, a master of the Southern Sky Gate. At this moment, he had already looked over, but it was too late to escape. He could only play dumb until the end. He was very confident in the Life and Death Scripture and was sure that Fan Yi would not be able to find out his background.
Fan Yi's gaze swept past Chu Li and fell on Hou Xianji. His eyes were like cold lightning. The next moment, he appeared in front of him and slammed his palm down. "Die!"
How dare he offend the disciples of the Southern Sky Gate. The only thing that awaited him was death. There was no need to ask further.
One was a young man with mediocre martial arts who could not threaten the two junior sisters at all. The other was a young man with high cultivation who could easily kill the two junior sisters. It was obvious which one to deal with.
Hou Xianji scoffed. "You're asking for it."
He stretched out his claws towards Fan Yi.
"How dare you!" Fan Yi was so angry that he laughed. "Junior sisters, it's him, right?"
"It's him who wanted to kill us. If it wasn't for that young man over there, we would have been killed by him!" the two beautiful girls shouted.
"Thank you, brother!" Fan Yi said to Chu Li, then sneered. "Watch me avenge you!"
As he spoke, he had already exchanged three moves with Hou Xianji. He realized that Hou Xianji was not ordinary. Although his cultivation was slightly lower than his, his claw technique was strange, sharp, and strangely fast. He could not take him down for a while.
He was a little troublesome.
Just as he thought about this, shadows flashed. Four middle-aged men had already appeared and surrounded Fan Yi, Hou Xianji, and Chu Li. They ignored the two girls. The key was still Fan Yi.
Fan Yi sneered. "Your Wildfire City is known as the safest place, but my two junior sisters were almost killed!"
Hou Xianji's heart kept sinking.
"Hou Xianji!" A middle-aged man scoffed. "How dare he come back!"
Fan Yi shouted while fighting, "You know him!"
The middle-aged man said, "Our sect's traitor, the Sky Drilling Monkey Demon Hou Xianji!"
"It's him!" Fan Yi was not unfamiliar with Hou Xianji's name.
Back then, the Southern Sky Gate had also been looking for Hou Xianji for a while, wanting to kill this Sky Drilling Monkey Demon before the Equal Heaven Gate. They did not expect Hou Xianji to be so good at escaping and hiding.
"Then I will help the Equal Heaven Gate get rid of this evil today!" Fan Yi shouted.
His palms became more and more urgent, but Hou Xianji had already gone all out. His claws covered the sky, and although he was at a disadvantage, he defended himself and blocked Fan Yi's fierce attacks. The situation was in a stalemate for a while.
"The Equal Heaven Gate's internal affairs do not need outsiders to interfere," the middle-aged man said. "Young Master Fan, please step back!"
Fan Yi naturally would not listen to them, and his attacks became more and more urgent.
Hou Xianji knew that once he was injured by Fan Yi, he would not be able to escape today. He mustered all his strength to fight for his life. His body flashed with a silver light from time to time, dissipating the palm energy, and not being blocked by Fan Yi's palm energy.
"Attack!" The four middle-aged men rushed over.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!" Two middle-aged men attacked Hou Xianji, and two attacked Fan Yi.
Fan Yi sneered, "You really don't know what's good for you. Instead of doing this, it is better to take this guy down together, lest he escapes again, and your Equal Heaven Gate will lose all face!"
"Young Master Fan, don't worry!" The middle-aged man from before said in a low voice, "We can handle it ourselves."
As soon as he said this, there was a flash of silver light, and Hou Xianji disappeared.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!" A series of muffled sounds came from the ground, and the palm energy fell on the ground, creating a deep pit.
"Where is he?" Fan Yi roared, staring at the four middle-aged men, "Sure enough, you are from the same sect. Killing in the open and hiding in the dark, I admire your methods!"
He said the last two words through clenched teeth, and his eyes flashed coldly.
The middle-aged man frowned, "Young Master Fan, don't talk nonsense. We really wanted to kill him, but we didn't expect …"
"If you really wanted to kill him, how could he escape?" Fan Yi sneered.
The middle-aged man sighed, "To tell you the truth, Young Master Fan, Hou Xianji has a treasure in his hands, the Eight Gem Glazed Cover. Without it, we would have taken him down long ago. How could we let him go free until now?"
