Chu Li acted as if he was not injured at all. His sword was still as sharp as ever. Instead, because one of them had died and there were only two of them left, the two of them felt even more pressured. They had almost no strength to resist and were forced to retreat step by step.
Chu Li's expression was calm and unhurried. The Modesty Sword's body could not be seen. It turned into a layer of dark mist and shrouded the two of them.
Their faces were flushed red, and their eyes were bloodshot. They were anxious and furious, but there was nothing they could do.
Chu Li's Modesty Sword was like maggots attached to their bones, pressuring them so much that they could not breathe. They wanted to use their secret skills to activate their potential, but they could not do so. If they really tried to activate their secret skills, they would have been killed by the sword before they could even activate it.
"Swoosh!" With a light whistle, a ray of silver light shot towards Chu Li from the wall.
Chu Li's body once again flashed with a purplish-golden brilliance. He did not block the Modesty Sword in his hand, allowing the flying dagger to pierce his back.
If he parried the flying dagger, it would give the other two a chance to catch their breath.
Once they activated their secret techniques, it would be troublesome.
Right now, he had to suppress his swordsmanship and martial arts. If he was too outstanding, he would inevitably arouse suspicion.
He never looked down on other people's intelligence. It was not a problem for him to display his outstanding Light-body Technique. If he were to display his outstanding swordsmanship as well, Prince An might even suspect that he was the one who assassinated Siao Shi.
Once he had this suspicion, King An might turn against him. Chu Li was waiting for King An's death.
If he were to fall out with him before he died, he would be forced to leave the Imperial Residence of King An. If King An died during this period, then everything would be in vain, and the Imperial Residence of King An would no longer have anything to do with him!
A masked man in grey stood on the wall. Seeing how tough Chu Li was, he shot another lancet at Xue Ningyu.
Xue Ningyu's expression changed slightly, she crouched down to avoid it.
However, the lancet was too fast. Before she could even squat down, the flying knife was already in front of her and was about to hit her forehead. She could only watch helplessly as the knife was about to hit her head.
"Ding …" A black sword blocked in front of her forehead, deflecting the flying dagger.
Chu Li stood in front of her. He said in a deep voice, "Princess Xue, please forgive me!"
As he spoke, he grabbed her wrist with his left hand and appeared in the room in a flash.
The three grey-robed men finally heaved a sigh of relief. Now that they had the chance to activate their secret skills, their bodies instantly expanded and their martial arts skills increased. Like three wisps of smoke, they dashed toward the window and faced Chu Li's sword.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …" The three masked men in grey swung their fists like hammers. The power of the fist soared through the air, colliding with the Modesty Sword incessantly, giving off the sound of metal colliding.
Xue Ningyu shouted delicately, "Where the hell did everyone go!"
Chu Li's chest and back were pierced by flying daggers, but his expression did not change as he said, "There should be other accomplices who are holding Commander Zheng and the others back."
He used his Modesty Sword to seal the window so that the three of them could not take another step forward.
They madly attacked for a dozen or so times, but seeing that there was no hope of entering, they once again split into two. Two of them madly attacked here, while the other entered through the door of the hall. He lifted the curtain and rushed in, his eyes revealing a sinister smile.
Chu Li was entangled by the two of them and could not spare any attention. He could only watch helplessly as he slowly approached the women.
Song Liuying was so scared that her legs turned to jelly and she almost fell to the ground.
Although Xue Ningyu's heart was thumping hard, she still stared at the masked man in grey, "Who are you, how dare you!"
"Hehe …" The masked man in grey approached step by step, but his gaze swept over Chu Li from time to time.
He threatened like this, he did not believe that the guy's heart would not be disturbed. Once his heart was disturbed. Then the sword light would disperse, and he would definitely be killed!
But as he glanced, his gaze was gradually attracted by Siao Shi and the other women.
"Chi!" Chu Li's left hand flung out a silver light.
This flying dagger's timing was just right.
When the masked man in grey stepped into the bedroom, his entire body tensed up. He was on his highest alert, afraid that he would suddenly attack or have some other tricks up his sleeves. Then he saw Chu Li being entangled by his own companions, and watched as he slowly approached the women, but was powerless.
The masked man in grey's vigilance then relaxed. Looking at Song Liuying, Xue Ningyu, Siao Shi and the other beauties in the house, he unconsciously became distracted.
Just as he was distracted, Chu Li's flying dagger arrived.
The sharp senses of a Grandmaster alerted him, and just as he was about to dodge, the distance was too close, and the flying dagger was too fast, there was no way to dodge.
The flying dagger pierced through his throat, grazed Leng Qing's ear, and shot into the wall.
Leng Qing was shocked, and her face instantly turned pale.
If it was just an inch off, she would be dead!
"Ugh …" The masked man in grey clutched his throat, and stared at Chu Li unwillingly. With a "bang", he fell to the ground.
"Ah — —!" The two masked men in grey outside the window roared, and rushed in. They entered the room through the window, and their fists rushed forward.
"Chi!" Chu Li's Modesty Sword suddenly sped up, and instantly pierced one of the men's throat.
This man stared with his eyes wide open, and reached out to grab the Modesty Sword. He wanted to use his own death to slow down Chu Li's movements, and create an opportunity for his companions.
Chu Li let go of the Modesty Sword, and faced the approaching fist force, he did not dodge at all. With a light punch, the masked man in grey flew out of the window.
"Bang!" The purplish golden light on his body flashed, and he slid backward by a foot, almost hitting Song Liuying. Song Liuying was so scared that she fell onto the bed, and was held by Xue Ling, so that she would not fall on Siao Shi.
Chu Li leaped out, and landed in the courtyard.
The masked man in grey hit Chu Li, and was also hit by Chu Li's fist force. His body was not as strong as Chu Li's, and even if he activated his secret skill, he still vomited blood after taking the punch.
Chu Li threw another punch in mid-air, and the masked man in grey countered with his own fist force. The fists collided, and both of their clothes fluttered, as if they were standing in a storm.
"Master, take this!" Xue Ling pulled out the Modesty Sword from the throat of the corpse, and threw it out.
As if Chu Li had eyes on his back, he floated and caught the long sword. He turned it in mid-air, and once again shot towards the masked man in grey. The dark shadow of the sword once again enveloped him.
"Ding ding ding ding …" In the sound of metal clashing, the masked man in grey waved his fists, and kept retreating.
His fists seemed to be wrapped in a layer of black iron, and there was a faint glow of metal. It was actually able to block the Modesty Sword.
Chu Li observed the route of his inner energy flow, and wanted to see what kind of martial art it was.
The masked man in grey slowly retreated, and was already at the entrance of the courtyard.
Chu Li's sword suddenly flashed, and its speed suddenly increased. The sword pierced the throat of the masked man in grey.
He unwillingly clutched his throat, and fell to the ground.
Chu Li sheathed his sword, and floated up to the roof, and looked down at the surroundings.
"Chief Chu!" Zheng Lide and Meng Zhi shot over like arrows that left the bow.
Chu Li glanced at them, shook his head, and ignored them. He floated down from the roof, and entered the house.
Song Liuying and Xue Ningyu let out a long sigh of relief, but their faces were still pale.
Siao Shi's expression was calm, and she did not look frightened at all.
Chu Li had God's Limbs, and if he really could not win, he could leave in an instant. So she was not anxious at all, and was not worried at all. She knew that Chu Li was purposely acting for others to see, and she only needed to cooperate.
After Chu Li entered the house, he closed fist saluted, "My Lady, you must be frightened!"
Siao Shi said, "You can leave first."
Song Liuying hurriedly said, "Chief Chu, hurry up and treat your injury, is it serious?"
Her bad feeling towards Chu Li was now gone. It did not matter if she was fighting for power, if it was not for him today, she might have lost her life.
Chu Li smiled, "It's no big deal, just a small injury."
"This is not a small injury, hurry up and treat it!" Song Liuying hurriedly waved her hand, and looked at the two flying knives that were stuck in his body. She quickly looked away, and did not dare to look.
Xue Ningyu, on the other hand, stared at the two flying knives excitedly, "There's no poison on the knives, right?"
Chu Li shook his head, "There's no poison."
"It's better to be careful." Xue Ningyu said, "I have a Golden Wound Ointment that has been passed down in my family. It's the best, I'll get someone to send it over later!"
