Coincidentally, it was still Elder Yang who was at the martial arts field.
The crowd escorted Chu Li, Qin Huaichuan, and Meng Luo to the martial arts field.
Elder Yang frowned when he saw Chu Li.
He did not like Chu Li. This young man had a decent cultivation level, but he was extremely arrogant. Coupled with his ugly face, Elder Yang found him particularly annoying.
However, even if he did not like him, it would not affect the fairness of the competition.
"Elder Yang, thank you. This guy challenged me to a Light Blade." Chu Li pointed at Meng Luo.
Elder Yang stared at Chu Li. "You don't even have your cultivation level anymore, and you still want to compete?"
Chu Li replied, "Even if I have a little inner energy left, it's more than enough to defeat him!"
"Alright, this is an unsharpened Light Blade!" Elder Yang shook his head and waved his hand. Six flying blades from the weapon rack landed in his hand, and he handed three to Chu Li and Meng Luo respectively.
"Three blades to determine the winner," Elder Yang said. "If you can't decide the winner in three blades, it'll be a draw."
Chu Li turned to look at Xu Jingya. "Senior Sister Xu, I'll borrow your inner energy."
Xu Jingya was curious but did not say anything. She placed her right hand on his back and a violent devouring force surged, sweeping away one-fifth of his inner energy through her palm.
Her bright eyes flickered as if she was thinking about something.
Chu Li took a few steps forward and entered the circle. The crowd retreated more than twenty meters away and widened their eyes to see how he would be defeated.
Chu Li sized Meng Luo up. "Do it!"
"Tss!" Meng Luo attacked first and threw a blade. He felt that this blade was enough to defeat Chu Li.
Chu Li took a step forward and swung his right hand as he dodged.
"Bang!" Meng Luo was sent flying.
Chu Li's blade was as fast as lightning, so fast that Meng Luo could not react in time. Moreover, he did not expect Chu Li's blade to be so fast, so he was caught off guard and was hit.
He flew more than ten meters high and flew over the crowd's heads.
"Bang!" He landed heavily on the white sand behind the crowd.
The crowd quickly moved aside and turned to see Meng Luo's tragic state.
A bloody gash appeared on Meng Luo's throat, and fresh blood gushed out of it. His face was flushed red, and he was trying his best to breathe, but he couldn't.
"Junior Brother Meng!" Qin Huaichuan hurriedly went forward and helped Chu Li's upper body up. He took out a spirit pill from his inner pocket and stuffed it into Chu Li's mouth. Then, he channeled his energy and pressed a few points on his finger to help Chu Li to regulate his breathing so that he could breathe without using his throat.
Chu Li shook his head and said, "You still want to challenge someone like that? You're overestimating yourself!"
He turned to look at the crowd and shouted, "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?"
He looked haggard and weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him over. His voice was hoarse, and he was out of breath. It was obvious that he was injured.
In such a state, he was able to unleash such a blade, which made them even more fearful and awe-inspiring.
Chu Li scoffed. "This is the power of the Light Blade. It only requires a little bit of inner energy to have such power. What's the use of you guys just cultivating your inner energy? You're all useless against the Light Blade!"
"Junior Brother Zhao, let me have a taste of your Light Blade!" Qin Huaichuan said in a deep voice as he slowly put Meng Luo down.
His handsome face was solemn and his eyes were firm.
This was their best chance. Zhao Dahe was at his weakest when he went through Qi Deviation. If they could not defeat him this time, they would not have another chance. In the future, they would just have to give up and mind their own business!
Chu Li gave him a sidelong glance. "Senior Brother Qin, are you going to take advantage of me?"
"That's right!" Qin Huaichuan could not care less. He had to defeat him no matter what. It did not matter if he was suffering from internal demons or was seriously injured. As long as he could defeat him, he could break his legend of being undefeated.
Chu Li nodded. "Alright, I'll accept your challenge!"
Elder Yang frowned and glanced at them.
He hated being their guardian the most. One was arrogant while the other was cunning. Neither of them were good people!
With a wave of his hand, four unsharpened flying blades fell into his hands. He tossed them to Chu Li and Qin Huaichuan respectively.
Chu Li caught them and said, "How about we attack together? Let Elder Yang give the order!"
"Alright." Qin Huaichuan nodded.
Elder Yang scoffed. "Alright, I'll count to three. You guys attack."
"Elder Yang, please!" Chu Li said.
"One, two, three!" Elder Yang quickly counted to three.
"Tsk tsk!" Two whistling sounds were heard almost at the same time.
Chu Li took a step to the side and easily dodged the blade.
Qin Huaichuan was sent flying as if a rope was yanking him from behind.
His posture was the same as Meng Luo's, but he flew higher and further than Meng Luo. He landed five steps away from Meng Luo and landed with a "bang". A flying blade was stuck in his throat.
Elder Yang glared at him and glided over to stuff a spirit pill into his throat. He sealed a few acupuncture points and pulled out the flying blade. Blood gushed out like a fountain but was quickly sealed by Elder Yang.
Qin Huaichuan's injury was far more serious than Meng Luo's. The flying blade was not sharp, but it pierced his throat more fiercely and caused more serious injuries.
Chu Li scoffed. "How dare you challenge me with such little ability! Does anyone else have a chance? "
Everyone kept quiet out of fear.
Only now did they realize how far behind Chu Li they were and why he was so arrogant. He was able to suppress everyone with his Light Blade with such a low cultivation level. Moreover, they were not even worth mentioning when his martial arts was at its peak!
Chu Li's body suddenly swayed, and Xu Jingya quickly supported him.
"Let's go then." Chu Li waved his hand and gave a fist salute. "Elder Yang, thank you."
Elder Yang waved his hand impatiently.
Xu Jingya said, "Let's go."
She could feel Chu Li's body trembling slightly.
Everyone watched as he walked away shakily and gradually disappeared into the distance. Their emotions were inexplicably complicated, and their respect for a powerhouse rose in them. The jealousy and indignation from before gradually dissipated.
If Chu Li was stronger than them, they would be jealous. If he was stronger than them, they would be jealous too. They would think that they could catch up to him if they worked hard. However, Chu Li was several times stronger and out of their reach. Not only were they not jealous, but they also admired him.
Xu Jingya helped him down the mountain slowly. "Junior Brother Zhao, why do you have to do this?"
"I have to beat them into submission!"
"So what if I beat them into submission?"
"I'll be able to keep my ears shut."
Every time he went to the Flavorful Tower, there would be people pointing fingers behind his back. They were still unconvinced and hostile toward him, and they wanted to teach him a lesson.
His way of dealing with this was to keep showing off his strength so that they could only shut up.
"You …" Xu Jingya shook her head helplessly.

Li Ruolan arrived at the peak of Great Light Peak in a white tunic and stepped into a dream-like world. After a while, she entered the basilica and saw the Saint, Sun Mingyue.
Sun Mingyue's face was covered with a white veil. She was also dressed in a white tunic and was sitting elegantly behind a table. When she heard the commotion, she glanced at Li Ruolan and waved her hand.
Li Ruolan approached her. "Saint?"
"Ji Xin went to the Ji Dynasty five days ago and hasn't returned yet. We've lost contact with him." Sun Mingyue said calmly, "I'm afraid that he's in trouble. He's most likely being hunted down. Someone needs to go and rescue him."
"Senior Brother Ji?" Li Ruolan was speechless.
Sun Mingyue got up and walked down the stairs. When she approached Li Ruolan, she paced a few steps with her hands behind her back. "Logically speaking, you shouldn't be entrusted with this matter. However, considering that he might have met with misfortune, I'm afraid that you'll blame me for the rest of your life if I don't send you there."
"I'll go!" Li Ruolan hurriedly said, "I'll leave immediately!"
Sun Mingyue waved her hand and said, "There's no point in rushing. Your cultivation level is only slightly higher than his, so you might not be able to solve his crisis. However, I don't have anyone to send to you now."
"I'll think of something myself!" Li Ruolan quickly said, "I only need to know Senior Brother Ji's last location."
