Lu Yurong's heart sank. Chu Li was probably dead!
She stared blankly at the restaurant that had lost its roof. She did not expect Chu Li to die so easily.
He had always been fighting with her, scheming against each other, working together and fighting in the dark. It was hard to tell who was better and who was on par.
This time, he was supposed to talk about conditions and set all sorts of difficult problems, forcing her to agree to it helplessly.
But he did not mention a single condition and saved her without hesitation.
Furthermore, he was taking such a huge risk to save her, betting his own life!
She stood there blankly, her mind was in a mess. She did not know what she was thinking.
Leng Feng looked at her and did not dare to speak again in case he got beaten up.
During this period of time, he had witnessed her power in the House of High Dukes and recognized her true colors. He no longer had any fantasies about her.
She was not the virtuous woman he thought she was, but a real female tyrant, an existence that should never be approached!
Lu Yurong turned her head and said coldly, "Stay here and don't move."
"Where are you going?"
"What do you think?"
"It's good to see if he's dead or not. After all, he saved my life. If he's dead, I'll bow to him in front of his grave."
"Shut up!"
"Alright, I won't talk anymore. You go."
Lu Yurong fluttered into the restaurant.
Chu Li laid on the floor motionlessly. There was a big hole in the floor that was burnt black.
Chu Li's white robe was spotless. It was especially eye-catching.
He did not seem to have been struck by lightning. He just fell into a deep sleep.
"Chu Li …" She went forward and touched his wrist.
The strong heartbeat startled her and she was overjoyed. He was not dead!
But such a strong heartbeat still worried her.
This heartbeat was not normal. His wrist felt a strange elasticity, as if rejecting her grip and not letting her touch it.
"Chu Li …" she called softly.
Chu Li suddenly opened his eyes. Two rays of electricity flashed in his eyes, making her heart palpitate.
"Sigh …" Chu Li let out a long breath.
Lu Yurong quickly asked, "How are you?"
Chu Li stood up straight as if someone was supporting him from behind.
He dusted his white robe, "It's okay."
"Are you sure?" Lu Yurong frowned. "I won't take the opportunity to hurt you!"
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "I'm not worried about that. You better take care of your cousin!"
Lu Yurong turned her head and glanced at Leng Feng who was on the roof. He was looking at her with boredom.
Lu Yurong sighed. "This time …"
Leng Feng was his opponent, yet he was willing to take such a huge risk to save him. This was simply illogical. There was only one reason, and that was him!
She pondered. Chu Li might really like her!
Therefore, at the most critical moment, he agreed without hesitation to use the secret technique without any regard for his own safety!
Chu Li said, "I'll owe you this time. We'll talk about it again in the future when I think of other conditions."
"Alright!" Lu Yurong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Are you really okay?"
"I won't die." Chu Li said, "I'll take my leave first. Don't let anyone else know about this. I'm afraid I'll really lose my life the next time I use this secret skill!"
"Of course." Lu Yurong nodded.
Chu Li waved his hand and glided away, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.

Chu Li flashed and appeared on the island of the Yi Public House.
He sat by the stone table in the courtyard and looked down at his chest.
The Heart of Asura where he was originally was had disappeared as if it had never been there.
The Heavenly Demonic Orb above his chest flashed with cold lightning, as if it had turned into an electric orb.
He flashed a smile.
This time, he had profited greatly. He did not expect to get such a reward!
The power of the Heavenly Demonic Power was astonishing. If it was not for him this time, he might not have been able to endure it and would have died again.
He had already realized that every time the Eclipse Purloin secret skill was used, the thunder he had to endure would be stronger. Each time it was stronger, it was extremely dangerous this time. If it was not for the Life and Death Scripture's ability to transform life and death, he would not have dared to save Leng Feng.
The Heavenly Demonic Power actually devoured this thunder and instantly pushed the fourth level to half.
One could imagine how difficult it was to cultivate the Heavenly Demonic Power to the fifth level.
Such a powerful thunder and the pure power of Heaven and Earth only pushed the fourth level halfway.
At the same time, he felt a little emotional. If it was not for the Shadow Thunder Palm and Heaven's Thunder Palm from the Amethyst Mountain, the Heavenly Demonic Power would not have been able to devour such a huge thunder.
Thinking of this, he shook his head. The wonders of the world were really unpredictable.
He stood up from the stone table and performed a palm technique. It was as fast as a ghost and filled with murderous intent. It did not look like a palm technique from the mortal world.
This palm technique was what he had just obtained — Shura Palm.
The Heart of Asura was destroyed by the thunder and was devoured by the Heavenly Demonic Orb together with the thunder.
A strange spirit was stimulated and drilled into his mind.
In an instant, an image appeared in his mind. A tall and slender man was performing a palm technique. The man was ugly and his face could not be seen clearly.
This was the Shura Palm. It was contained in the Heart of Asura and carried by the Heart of Asura. Unfortunately, others could not activate it and it would usually be annihilated along with the Heart of Asura.
This time, due to the coincidence of being struck by thunder, this inheritance was activated.
He performed the palm technique over and over again. His body moved faster and faster until his shadow could not be seen.
Suddenly, he retracted his palm and revealed his body. He had a satisfied smile on his face.
Ever since he entered the Grandmaster's Boundary, he always felt that his martial arts were not strong enough.
The power of the Infinite Azure Sea was strong but it was not strong enough. The Scripture of Duality was also a top-notch technique but it did not have any accompanying martial arts.
He only had the Eternity Blade and the Seven Forms of Godly Blade and Godly Sword. He only had the fist technique that he learned from High Duke Lu when he was bare-handed. Fa Yuan's antique study could not be used casually.
Now that he finally had his own palm technique, he could be considered to have the foundation to stand on.

When he returned to the courtyard of the Imperial Residence of King An, it was already the next morning.
He practiced the Shura Palm in the courtyard. As the number of times he practiced increased, the power of the Shura Palm became stronger.
There was a knock on the door and Chief Zhu's voice was heard, "Head Chief, someone from the Secret Guardians Hall is here. He said there's an urgent matter and wants to see you immediately!"
"Okay, I got it." Chu Li retracted his palm.
He opened the door of the courtyard and walked out. Chief Zhu followed closely behind, "Someone from my family came to the Secret Guardians Hall. It looks like it's urgent."
Chu Li nodded and entered the main hall. Liang was pacing back and forth in the main hall.
Seeing him appear,? Liang hurriedly said, "Head Chief, quickly follow me to the Secret Guardians Hall."
"Let's go." Chu Li extended his hand and the two walked out.
After stepping out of the Imperial Residence of King An, the two quickened their pace.
"What urgent matter?" Chu Li asked. He had already seen it clearly but he had to ask.
"A minister counsellor has betrayed us." Liang's face was solemn, "The Secret Guardians Hall was ordered to kill him!"
"How do you know it's a betrayal?" Chu Li asked.
? Liang said, "The Secret Guardians Hall has been investigating him. I didn't expect him to escape in advance!"
"Which ministry is the minister counsellor from?"
"… The Ministry of War!"
Chu Li shook his head and sighed.
The Ministry of War had four departments under it. Each department had a deputy minister counsellor.
