The monk raised his head and glared at Chu Li. He yelled and slammed his palm towards the sword.
Chu Li raised his sword and pointed it at the monk's palm.
The monk's palm did not change its direction and met the tip of the sword.
"Ding …" Chu Li's sword trembled. Pure and dense inner energy flowed through the sword but was blocked by an invisible force. It could not enter the monk's meridians.
Chu Li was surprised. The Sentient Menace was indeed powerful. It could block the attack of inner energy!
He took a step back and stabbed again.
"Ding …" The monk blocked his chest with his palm and the tip of the sword pierced his palm.
Fa Shan was shocked, the position of the sword was exactly the same as the previous one, piercing the same spot. Such a sword technique was indeed shocking.
Chu Li's feet moved and dissolved the inner energy in his palm. He stabbed again, fast as lightning.
"Ding …" The monk could not help but raise his palm again and was stabbed at the same spot.
His palm was slightly numb. The Sentient Menace was showing signs of being broken. His face changed. He did not dare to let Chu Li stab him again. He took the initiative to attack.
"Ha!" He roared like thunder and hit his palms on the temple to force Chu Li to retreat.
However, Chu Li did not retreat. Instead, he stabbed again. The angle was tricky and the speed was like lightning.
"Ding …" He stabbed at the same spot again.
The monk's face darkened. He was even more shocked. Chu Li's swordsmanship was too amazing. If this continued, he would not be able to win.
His vigor was unstable. The Sentient Menace was unstable. He quickly changed his palm into a fist and punched. His fist carried the wind, it was fierce and heavy.
"Ding …" Chu Li's sword pierced the tip of the monk's fist.
Then, Chu Li attacked again and again. It was like a flash of lightning, extremely fast.
Fashan made up his mind and simply did not evade or evade. Whenever he saw the sword coming, he would either use his fists, or his palms, or even the sleeves of his monk's robe to avoid being stabbed by the sword's tip. His soft sleeves were like knives and spears with astonishing power.
The two of them were in a stalemate. He could not dodge Chu Li's sword and Chu Li could not break through his Sentient Menace. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred moves had passed.
Zhao Ying watched from the side with her eyes wide open. She was impressed by Chu Li's swordsmanship. At the same time, she was impressed by the monk. He did not live in vain.
Bang! Suddenly, there was a muffled sound. Chu Li suddenly switched his sword to a palm and clashed with the monk's palm. Both of them took a step back.
Chu Li took a step back and sheathed his sword. He waved his palms and fought with Fa Shan. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged more than a hundred blows.
The monk's face darkened. He did not expect Chu Li's inner energy to be so profound. Wave after wave of inner energy seemed to be endless.
The Sentient Menace could block swords, and it could also block the invasion of palm energy. It was extremely powerful, but it had one drawback, which was that it consumed a lot of energy. It required a huge amount of inner energy to operate.
Even if his inner energy was profound, he could not hold on for too long. Especially when Chu Li's palm energy was ferocious, every move of his was accompanied by a turbulent flow of inner energy. He had no choice but to activate the Sentient Menace, which consumed a lot of his energy.
After two hundred moves, the monk actually felt that his inner energy had been drained. After reaching the Innate Mastery level, it was rare for him to feel this way. Usually, when he activated the Sentient Menace, he would be able to defeat his opponent in a few moves.
"Peng!" Another muffled sound, the two palms collided. The monk suddenly turned around and left.
Chu Li scoffed, "Monk, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Of course, Chu Li would not allow someone who wanted to kill him to leave. There would be no end to his troubles. He channeled his inner energy to his feet and arrived behind the monk in three steps. The monk suddenly turned his head and pushed his palm forward.
Chu Li was already prepared for this move. He knew that this palm would be extremely powerful. It was the Tempest Temple's Mountain Pushing Palm. When the inner energy was stacked like the Infinite Azure Sea, it was extremely powerful.
He took a step to the side and dodged the attack. Then, he went forward and attacked with his palm.
"Peng!" The monk hastily responded. Both palms collided.
He could not help but stagger a step back. Chu Li did not let him go and attacked again. The monk was not stable and could not block his attack in time. His chest was hit by Chu Li and he took another step back.
The Sentient Menace blocked Chu Li's palm energy, but it could not reduce the impact. The monk could only retreat.
Chu Li followed up with another palm strike on the same spot. The monk angrily waved his palms but he could not change his situation. He could not control his body and could not avoid Chu Li's lightning-fast palms. As he retreated, he was hit by Chu Li three more times.
"Puff!" The monk could no longer hold back the blood that was gushing out. He opened his mouth and a stream of blood shot out.
Chu Li was as calm as still water. He was not affected by the monk and attacked again.
"Peng!" A muffled sound was heard. The monk and Chu Li both took two steps back.
The monk sneered. This palm strike was enough to make this boy suffer. No matter how cunning he was, he still had to drink the water he used to wash his feet!
The reason he spat out blood earlier was so that he could catch him off guard. The power of the Mountain Pushing Palm was not something that a normal human body could withstand.
Chu Li took two steps back. There were three deep footprints under his feet. His inner energy was completely transferred to the ground.
He saw through the monk's thoughts. He was also prepared for the monk's attack. His palm energy was weak but not solid. He subtly transferred it to his feet.
"You …" The monk's face darkened. He looked at Chu Li's footprints. He knew that something was wrong.
"Hehe …" Chu Li laughed. His laughter was clear and bright. There was no sign of injury. "Monk, your Sentient Menace is almost done, right?"
"Amitabha …" The monk's face turned serious. He pressed his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha. He took a deep breath. "Almsgiver Xiao, I have lost. The grudge between me and the Raging Tiger Troupe is written off!"
"Thank you very much, monk!" Chu Li smiled.
The monk pressed his palms together and turned around to leave.
Chu Li appeared in front of him in a flash. He blocked the monk's path. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"Almsgiver Chu, what are you trying to do?" The monk's face darkened.
Chu Li smiled. "What you were trying to do just now was what I was trying to do."
"Almsgiver Chu, it was just a friendly match. Why do you have to hurt our friendship?" The monk shook his head. "My temple and your public house have always minded our own business. Please don't start a fight because of us."
Chu Li shook his head. "You're wrong. You can't represent the Tempest Temple. I can't represent the Yi Public House. It's just a personal grudge. Monk, please!"
"I'm no match for you." The monk shook his head and sighed. "Almsgiver Chu, you're a genius. I admire you. If you really want to kill me, I will not resist!"
Zhao Ying said softly, "Brother …"
Chu Li glanced at Zhao Ying. He looked at the ladies who looked like they could not bear to see this. He then looked at the monk and laughed. "You've got some tricks up your sleeve!"
The monk smiled and pressed his palms together. "If that's the case, I'll take my leave!"
He turned and walked in another direction. Chu Li wanted to stop him. Zhao Ying quickly said, "Brother, forget it. Let the monk go!"
"Sigh …" Chu Li shook his head and sighed.
"Forgive and forget," Zhao Ying quickly said. "Moreover, he's a monk from the Tempest Temple."
She knew how powerful the Tempest Temple was. It was the number one faction in the world. They were as powerful as a towering tree. They were everywhere. The Public House was slightly inferior. It was best not to offend them. If the Tempest Temple really wanted to kill him, Chu Li would not be able to escape no matter how powerful he was!
Ever since the Tempest Temple was established, no traitor had ever escaped from them. There were no exceptions.
Chu Li looked at the monk's back and shook his head. "This old monk is not one to forgive and forget. He won't give up."
"So what if he won't give up? It's not like he can defeat you!" Zhao Ying laughed.
She did not expect Chu Li's martial arts to be so powerful. He was a new innate master. The old monk from the Tempest Temple must have been an innate master for many years. His cultivation level was high and he was able to leave the temple. He would not embarrass the Tempest Temple. She did not expect him to lose to Chu Li!
Chu Li sighed. "He's still going to pester me. It's better to end this once and for all!"
"Brother, don't kill if you can. Besides, if you really kill him, the Tempest Temple will not let you go. They will definitely kill you. Do you think you can escape from them? Unless you stay in the Public House forever. Wouldn't that be boring? "
"Sometimes, you have to kill." Chu Li shook his head.
He saw through the monk's heart. There was no gratitude, only hatred. He wanted to kill Chu Li. Sparing him would only bring trouble to Chu Li. The only way was to kill him.
"Anyway, he's a disciple from the Tempest Temple. Don't kill him if you can!" Zhao Ying said.
Chu Li knew that she was doing this for his sake. He smiled. "For the sake of my sister, I'll let him go for now!"
"That's right!" Zhao Ying pursed her lips and smiled.
The women were divided into two groups. The older ones did not want to leave the valley. They wanted to live out their lives here. They wanted to be isolated from the world. They wanted to live out their lives in peace.
The younger ones wanted to follow Chu Li. After all, they were still young. They liked prosperity. They did not want to live out their lives in this boring valley.
In the end, fifty of them left the valley. The remaining hundred or so stayed.
There were horses in the village. There were enough for each of them to ride two horses. Those who did not know how to ride could share a horse. They left the valley in the evening.
Zhao Ying wanted to stay for the night and leave the next day. Chu Li insisted on leaving at night.
The group took advantage of the darkness to continue their journey. They held torches and walked slowly.
In the middle of the night, they rested in a forest. Chu Li asked them to surround a tree and form a circle.
Zhao Ying sat at the outermost circle while Chu Li leaped onto the tree.
"Brother, the Raging Tiger Troupe is gone. Will there be a robbery?" Zhao Ying leaped onto the tree and stood beside him. A faint fragrance wafted into Chu Li's nose. "Moreover, even if there is a robbery, it won't happen at this time, right?"
Chu Li shook his head.
"Are you worried about the old monk?"
"Yes."
"Is he really that bad?"
"If you think that people who study Buddhism can become good people, then you are wrong."
"The disciples of the Tempest Temple won't be bad, right?"
"Good and bad are relative."
"Good is good, bad is bad."
"From the perspective of a good monk, I killed a disciple of the Tempest Temple. He must kill me to uphold the dignity of the Tempest Temple. He thinks that his actions are righteous. It is good, but from our point of view, it is bad."
"Of course it is bad."
Chu Li shook his head. "… Do you have brothers?"
"Yes, I have two brothers."
"Let's say you have an unfilial brother. He beat your father and ran away from home. You wanted to catch him and bring him back for punishment. But before you could catch him, someone killed him. What would you do?"
"…" Zhao Ying rolled her eyes at him.
Chu Li smiled. "Of course, it is just an example. Would you avenge your brother?"
"Hmph, of course!" Zhao Ying said unhappily.
Chu Li shrugged. "From our perspective, he wants to kill us. He is a cunning and dangerous person. He might even be a threat to the people around us. Of course, we have to kill him!"
Zhao Ying frowned. She felt that the world was very complicated.
