Seeing the carriage in front of them, Qin Jin and the other three tensed up. Two stepped in front of Chu Li while the other two turned around to guard against an attack from behind.
"Hey …" With a shout, the coachman cracked his whip and the carriage slowly moved away.
The four of them sighed in relief. It did not seem like it.
Chu Li stared at the carriage and said, "Be careful, there's someone hiding underneath."
"Why isn't he coming out?" Qin Jin and the others looked over curiously as the carriage slowly moved away.
Chu Li smiled.
The four of them were dubious and followed him forward, still on guard.
They did not walk fast. Chu Li strolled leisurely as he admired his surroundings. The bustling Fairy's Capital was different from other places. He would never get tired of it.
They did not walk far before they saw the carriage again.
It stopped by the roadside and the coachman ran into the shop to buy something. The horse snorted impatiently and pawed its front hooves from time to time.
Chu Li turned and smiled at the four of them. "This is the trick. Be careful."
Qin Jin smiled bitterly. "Centurion, is there really a master?"
Chu Li looked like he was watching a show. He was relaxed and did not feel like he was being assassinated.
"It's a powerful person," Chu Li said. "Everyone, stay alert."
"Alright." Qin Jin and the others nodded slowly.
They arrived at the carriage but there was no movement.
Qin Jin and the others were already tense. They slowly passed by the carriage but there was no movement. The carriage was already two feet behind them but they were still tense.
Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror saw clearly that there was an elder in grey under the carriage.
The elder in grey moved like lightning and suddenly floated out from under the carriage. He instantly passed by Zheng Dongxia and Ouyang Hua who were protecting Chu Li and appeared behind him.
"Bam!" Chu Li turned his head and hit the elder in grey with his palm.
Zheng Dongxia and Ouyang Hua scoffed and pounced at the elder in grey.
Chu Li's palm energy was strange. After entering the elder's body, it kept devouring and growing. The elder's inner energy circulation slowed down and he could only block Zheng Dongxia and Ouyang Hua's swords.
Qin Jin quickly asked, "Centurion, are you okay?"
Chu Li smiled. "Be careful, he's not the only one."
Qin Jin and Feng Jing turned their heads and looked around.
Three grey-robed elders floated down from the roof and swooped down towards Chu Li like three golden eagles.
Qin Jin and Feng Jing snorted. They unsheathed their swords and charged at the trio.
Two of the grey-robed elders shot toward Qin Jin and Feng Jing, keeping them occupied while the remaining one shot toward Chu Li.
Chu Li looked at the three of them and did not recognize any of them.
"Young lad Chu, hand over the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual. Otherwise, we'll keep going against you!" The grey-robed old man's face was square, and his voice was like a great bell. As he spoke, his palm had already slammed down, and the power of the palm condensed without dissipating.
Chu Li met it head-on. "Bang!" A muffled sound was heard, but neither of them retreated.
"Bang, bang, bang …" The two of them exchanged several palms in a row. Suddenly, their palms were glued together as they competed with their internal energy.
Qin Jin and the other three were somewhat anxious.
The centurion was an extremely intelligent person. How could he do such a foolish thing and compete with this old man in terms of inner energy? This was something the old man was eager to do. He relied on the fact that he had cultivated for a long time and had a higher cultivation level, which could restrain the centurion's subtlety.
No matter how powerful the centurion was, he had only cultivated for a short period of time. His cultivation level was slightly lower, so he would not have an advantage in terms of inner energy.
Chu Li looked at the elder opposite him with a faint smile.
The grey-robed elder's face was gloomy as he stared at Chu Li.
A moment later, white steam rose from the top of the grey-robed elder's head, and he was sweating profusely.
Chu Li, on the other hand, was calm as usual. He was so relaxed that it did not seem like he was competing with inner energy.
Inner energy was much more dangerous than techniques. In close combat, once one was suppressed by the opponent, one would not be able to escape in time. Life and death would be decided in an instant.
The three grey-robed elders saw that their comrade was in a bad situation. Although they felt that it was inconceivable, they did not dare to hesitate. They abandoned their opponents and shot toward Chu Li, hoping to distract him so that their comrade could take advantage of the situation.
The grey-robed elder who attacked earlier was a plump and amiable person, but his martial arts was the strongest. Zheng Dongxia and Ouyang Hua could not suppress him.
Qin Jin and the other three tried their best to block them so that they would not disturb Chu Li.
Chu Li's inner energy was growing at an incredible speed. The grey-robed elder could not say anything. He tried his best to activate his inner energy, but it was being devoured faster and faster. Chu Li's inner energy grew stronger in the blink of an eye, but he was gradually weakening.
When one reached the Grandmaster's Boundary, one's inner energy would reach the state of endless growth. However, no matter how endless it was, it would not be able to replenish in time when faced with this snowball-like devouring.
Chu Li suddenly moved his inner energy back into his body, and another stream of inner energy flowed back into his body.
"Bang!" The grey-robed elder flew backward.
"Pfft!" He spat out a mouthful of blood in the air and landed heavily on the ground. He struggled to sit up.
"Let's go!" The other three elders saw that the situation was not good. They picked him up and shot out, disappearing in front of Chu Li and the others in the blink of an eye.
"Centurion?" Qin Jin and the others could not care less about chasing after him. They hurriedly came over and asked.
Chu Li was satisfied. The inner energy that was devoured instantly circulated a few times in his body, circulating at an incredible speed. Then, it was swallowed by the Heavenly Demonic Orb. The Cloud Slashing Power and the Heavenly Demonic Power were indeed a perfect match.
"Are you alright?" Qin Jin hurriedly asked.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "The more masters like this, the better."
Qin Jin and the others smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
"Let's go, there should be more," Chu Li said.
He had not gone far when he passed by a restaurant of the Cui Family.
Six Grandmasters rushed out of the restaurant. Four of them went against Qin Jin and the others, while the other two went against Chu Li. They were all elders with profound cultivation levels.
Chu Li sighed to himself. The Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual was indeed very attractive. These old fellows must have just entered the Fairy's Capital.
In just a short while, there were already ten Grandmasters. It really felt like there were as many Grandmasters as there were dogs. If they were placed outside of the Fairy's Capital, any Grandmaster would be a force to be reckoned with.
Qin Jin and the others were helpless. The opponents in front of them were very difficult to deal with. They wanted to lend Chu Li a hand, but they were powerless. They could only watch helplessly as Chu Li fought one against two. In the end, he could only hold off one of them with one palm.
The three of them competed with their inner energy again.
This was exactly what the two elders wanted. One of them was enough to deal with Chu Li. Moreover, with the two of them fighting together, they felt that Chu Li was tired of living and wanted to commit suicide.
After a while, they realized that something was wrong. They wanted to break free from Chu Li's palm, but it was as if they were tied up by a rope.
The more they used their inner energy to resist that strange palm energy, the faster their inner energy was devoured. Their opponent's inner energy grew stronger, and in the blink of an eye, it had surpassed their own inner energy.
In just a few breaths, white steam rose from the top of their heads and their faces turned pale.
Chu Li, on the other hand, was in high spirits and had a faint smile on his face.
After devouring half of their inner energy, Chu Li suddenly retracted it and poured it back again. The two of them flew straight out and spat out blood in the air.
"Go — —!" After they landed, they struggled and shouted.
The remaining four elders grabbed them and fluttered away.
Chu Li chuckled. The devoured inner energy quickly circulated in his body and was continuously purified. In the end, it was completely devoured by the Heavenly Demonic Orb.
"Centurion …?" Qin Jin and the others looked at him in shock.
Chu Li's actions were too shocking. He fought against two of them with his inner energy and still managed to win. How high was his cultivation level?
Chu Li smiled and said, "It should be over this time. Let's go!"
