Chu Li looked at the white paper and let go of it. The white paper fluttered to Zhou Zhixiong's feet, and he could step on it with just one step.
"Commandant Zhou, please!" Chu Li stretched out his hand and said with a straight face, "If Field Officer Zhou steps on it, I will immediately kowtow to Field Officer Zhou and apologize!"
Everyone was stunned. They looked at Chu Li, then at Zhou Zhixiong.
They did not expect Chu Li to have the guts to say such a thing. He wanted to kowtow and apologize!
A man's knees were gold. Even if he saw the emperor, he could only bow to the heavens, the earth, and his parents. Apart from that, he could not kneel to anyone else.
Chu Li's words had forced him into a corner.
If Chu Li really knelt down, he would become a laughing stock.
They stared at Zhou Zhixiong.
After a long while, Zhou Zhixiong did not move. They were secretly anxious. This was a good opportunity to ruthlessly slap him in the face and make him kneel! Why was Commandant Zhou hesitating?
Chu Li said, "Field Officer Zhou, you only need to step on it lightly, and I'll kowtow to you. I won't go back on my words in front of everyone!"
Zhou Zhixiong lowered his head and stared at the painting.
This painting was vivid and lifelike. The radiant sun could not be more lifelike. He could not draw it like this.
All he had to do was step on Chu Li lightly, and he would be able to force him to kneel, prove his innocence, and at the same time, give himself a way out.
The endless temptation made him step on it.
However, he was unable to move his feet.
Chu Li looked at him quietly and said in a low voice, "Field Officer Zhou, the Holy Church of Light is a sect of the Li Dynasty. You believe in the Holy Church of Light, so I don't have to say anything more, right? … What a pity, you had a bright future! "
He shook his head as he spoke.
Zhou Zhixiong fiercely raised his head and glared at him, his eyes burning like a raging fire. "Surnamed Chu, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a dagger from his bosom and fiercely stabbed it into his left chest. Then, he slowly fell down, his body pressing down on the white paper.
"Commandant Zhou!" Everyone exclaimed.
They were shocked. They didn't expect Zhou Zhixiong to directly pull out his sword and commit suicide. The change was sudden and tragic, and they were so shocked that they became absent-minded.
Such a heroic figure didn't die on the battlefield, but in the Immortal's Capital. Moreover, he committed suicide!
A nameless rage burned in their chests, as if it wanted to burn them up.
Prince Bao looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li sighed and looked down at Zhou Zhixiong.
"Surnamed Chu, you're ruthless enough!" Leng Tao shouted angrily, "You forced an elite soldier to his death!"
Everyone's eyes were blazing like torches. Just a little provocation and they would pounce on him.
Chu Li calmly looked at the crowd and asked, "Is there anyone else who believes in the Holy Church of Light?"
Leng Tao roared, "You're a traitor just because you believe in the Holy Church of Light. You've gone too far!"
Chu Li glanced at him.
He shook his head inwardly. This reckless brat doesn't know how serious this matter is.
Leng Tao glared at him, unwilling to be outdone.
He abruptly pushed his helmet up and revealed his face. "Chu Li, tell me clearly, why are you a traitor just because you believe in the Holy Church of Light! … Just because of this Holy Church of Light, they forced Field Officer Zhou to his death? How many cavalrymen of the Li Dynasty have he killed? How dare you suspect that he's a mole of the Li Dynasty? Chu Li, you're too vicious! "
The cavalrymen gritted their teeth and clenched their fists. They glared at Chu Li and were about to attack.
Chu Li calmly asked, "Do you think he's dead?"
"A stab to the heart and he's still not dead? Chu Li, I didn't expect you to be such a despicable person. I must've been blind to think that you're a young talent. Pfft! "scoffed Leng Tao.
Chu Li suddenly waved his hand.
"Slap!" A crisp sound was heard.
Leng Tao's helmet flew off and a palm print instantly appeared on his face. It was as red as blood.
"Idiot!" Chu Li looked at him in annoyance. He turned his head and calmly looked at the cavalrymen who were about to charge at him.
Leng Tao did not want to seek justice. He wanted to take the opportunity to incite the crowd to attack Chu Li.
"Hmph!" Prince Bao scoffed and glanced at them coldly. "How dare you all!"
His scoff was like a clap of thunder that rang in the ears of the cavalrymen. It shocked them so much that their minds went blank and their bodies went numb.
Chu Li said, "If I'm not mistaken, Field Officer Zhou's heart is on the right side, so the stab wasn't fatal."
"Oh —?" Prince Bao smiled. "Is there such a thing?"
He waved his hand and a middle-aged cavalryman in front of the building was about to step forward.
He did not seem to care about Chu Li slapping Leng Tao as if he did not see it.
Chu Li quickly stretched out his hand. "Wait!"
Prince Bao said, "What's wrong?"
Chu Li sighed. "Your Royal Highness, let's ask them to step back first!"
"We won't step back. We must see if it's true or not. We can't be fooled by you!" Leng Tao covered his face and roared.
Chu Li said, "Zhou Zhixiong is a Grandmaster. Are you really not going to step back?"
"Stop joking!" Leng Tao stared at him with hatred and sneered. "If he is a Grandmaster, I am an Enlightened Master!"
"That's why I said you're stupid!" Chu Li shook his head.
Prince Bao waved his hand. "All of you, step back ten feet!"
The cavalrymen did not move.
Prince Bao scoffed. "Why? My words don't work anymore?"
"… Yes." The cavalrymen stepped back thirty meters.
Chu Li said, "Zhou Zhixiong, stop pretending to be dead. Whether you can escape or not will depend on your true abilities!"
"Chu Li!" Zhou Zhixiong suddenly stood up. There was a dagger in his right chest.
He pulled out the dagger himself. Only a trace of blood flowed out.
Not only did he not look like he was injured, but he was also in high spirits. He looked more heroic and his gaze was as sharp as a sword.
He kept the dagger in his chest and said solemnly, "Chu, how did you know that I am a disciple of the Holy Church?"
Chu Li said, "I guessed … I was just testing you. I didn't expect my guess to be right. The Holy Church of Light has quite a number of followers in the Fairy's Capital, right?"
"You can ask others on the way to the underworld. I'm going to kill you!" Zhou Zhixiong said calmly.
Chu Li must be killed. Otherwise, he would be a huge threat to the Holy Church.
First, he faked his death, then he had the Void Concealment Divine Technique. Either one of them was a way to turn the situation around.
However, Chu Li easily broke through it without any effort.
With him around, the disciples of the Holy Church would be in danger. He must be eliminated!
Chu Li smiled. "I really want to know how you managed to hide your cultivation level!"
Zhou Zhixiong said calmly, "The Holy Church of Light has countless divine skills. It's just a small trick."
"As expected, the Holy Church of Light has such a heart technique. If that's the case, there are quite a number of masters from the Holy Church of Light hiding in the Fairy's Capital! "
"So what?" Zhou Zhixiong said, "Can you recognize them one by one? They might be someone you know or even your family. The disciples of the Holy Church are everywhere. We can never kill them all! "
As soon as he said that, he charged at Chu Li and swung his fist. "I shall eliminate you demon on behalf of the disciples of the Holy Church!"
Chu Li waved his hand and the white paper on the ground floated into his hand.
He avoided Zhou Zhixiong's fist force and glided backward. "Your Royal Highness!"
Prince Bao scoffed angrily. "Something's wrong!"
He took a step forward and stood in front of Zhou Zhixiong. He gently struck him with his palm.
"Bam!" Zhou Zhixiong flew ten feet away and turned to leave.
"Trying to escape!" Prince Bao sneered and struck him with his palm again.
"Bam!" Zhou Zhixiong who was ten feet away flew away as if he was hit by a huge wooden block.
Prince Bao took another step forward and stood in front of him. He lightly struck him again.
"Woo …" Zhou Zhixiong fiercely struck his fist. The fist force produced a strange whistling sound.
"Bam!" Zhou Zhixiong flew away again.
Suddenly, he flashed in the air and disappeared.
Prince Bao frowned. He squinted his eyes and looked around.
