Chu Li showed a helpless expression.
He Ju quickly said, "Everything I said was the truth, not a single word of falsehood!"
Chu Li sighed and shook his head. "If you say that, how can I forgive you!"
He Ju's face darkened and scoffed, "You want to break your promise?!"
Chu Li said, "If I let you go, wouldn't I be a sinner? You people kill people like it's child's play, your hands are stained with the blood of too many innocent people, you should be punished! Even if you die ten times, twenty times, it won't be enough to atone for your sins! "
He Ju scoffed, "Just like how a golden eagle wants to eat a rabbit, whether the rabbit is innocent or not, does the golden eagle deserve to die?"
"You are humans," Chu Li scoffed, "You really think you are Asura!"
"We are no longer mortals. We have cultivated the Body of Asura and shed our mortal bodies. After we die, we become Asuras completely, we are Asuras now. "He Ju shook his head.
"Then I can only suppress you people," Chu Li shook his head, "those who are not of my race must have different intentions!"
"… I never thought that you, Chu Li, are a vile person who breaks your promise!" He Ju scoffed, "What a waste of your reputation!"
Chu Li said, "If I let you go because of my reputation, then I am not human!"
"You are the one who forced me to risk my life!" He Ju clenched his teeth and laughed coldly, "Then let's die together!"
Chu Li waved his hand to interrupt him, "How about this, I have a suggestion."
"What suggestion!? I will never believe you again." He Ju scoffed.
Chu Li said, "I will attack with three fingers, if you can block them, I will let you go this time and take your life next time. Not only will I not break my promise, I will also feel better, how about that?"
"… Three fingers?" He Ju frowned.
Chu Li said, "If you can block three fingers, I will let you go this time."
"… Fine!" He Ju scoffed.
He had exchanged blows with Chu Li before, he knew that Chu Li's inner energy was strong and his palm energy was strange, but with his Body of Asura, he would definitely be able to block three moves. Thinking of this, He Ju took a deep breath.
The flesh on his body quickly retracted into his bones, leaving only his skin wrapped around his bones, turning him into a skeleton with a cold and merciless gaze.
"Tss!" Chu Li pointed with one finger.
He Ju waved his skinny right palm to meet the attack. The finger force penetrated his palm but was blocked by the palm force.
Just as he was feeling happy, he suddenly felt his heart palpitate. The finger force instantly appeared in front of his chest, wanting to break his heart meridian.
The weakness of the Body of Asura was the heart of Asura, where the Heart of Asura was located. It could not withstand a heavy blow, so they would usually make a Heart Guard Mirror. However, this finger force was strange, it could actually travel to the heart after hitting the palm.
"Spear Finger!" he cried out involuntarily.
They hated and feared the Great Leiyin Temple's lost technique the most.
Chu Li nodded. "It's the Spear Finger Strike. Can you still take it?"
"Why do you know the Spear Finger Strike!" He Ju shouted, "This is the secret skill of the Tempest Temple!"
Chu Li said, "You don't have to worry about that. Again!"
Once again, he pointed his finger lightly.
"Hmph!" He Ju sneered. He blocked the finger force with his left palm and covered his chest with his right palm.
Since the weakness of the Body of Asura was the heart, it was only natural that it had a unique supreme art to protect it. It was to guard against supreme arts such as the Spear Finger Strike, so that it would not suffer a crushing defeat. What he used was the Heart Protection Palm, forming layers of inner strength from the Shura Palm, circling around to protect the heart.
"Puff!" A soft muffled sound came from his body.
His body instantly froze. Not only his inner energy, but his heartbeat and blood flow had also stopped. He could not move at all.
Chu Li took a step forward and pressed his palm on his chest. His inner energy was released.
He Ju's vision instantly darkened and he fell unconscious.
Chu Li sealed all the acupuncture points on his body, then lifted Zhao Shang and disappeared.
—
Inside the Mercy Temple's Zen Temple.
The setting sun dyed the small courtyard a rose color. The green bamboo forest rustled.
Fa Yuan sat on a cattail hassock in the living room.
The door of the living room was wide open. A gentle breeze blew in, ruffling his grey cowl. He sat motionlessly in meditation, looking solemn.
There were four people lying in front of him. They were Zhou Lingfeng and the others who were captured from the Imperial Residence of King An.
After a quarter of an hour, Fa Yuan suddenly opened his eyes. He slowly walked towards them and sealed their acupuncture points again. Then, he sat back on the cattail hassock and continued to meditate. He looked solemn and motionless.
Fa Xiang wore a grey cowl and slowly walked into the small courtyard.
"Brother Fa Xiang." Fa Yuan opened his eyes and bowed with pressed palms.
Fa Xiang looked at the four men. "Let me do it. You just went through a big battle. You need to rest."
"I'm fine." Fa Yuan said, "They can't be careless. If they really run away, their sins will be endless!"
"I understand." Fa Xiang smiled. "Brother Fa Yuan, is Almsgiver Chu really targeted by the Divine Church of Asura?"
"Yes." Fa Yuan slowly nodded. "Brother Fa Xiang, if Almsgiver Chu really wants to cultivate the Asura Power Technique, it will be very scary!"
"The Divine Church of Asura is nothing special. If the elders in the temple have not made up their minds, they would have been eradicated a long time ago!"
"Brother, I really don't understand. Why can't they make up their minds and let them kill?" Fa Yuan raised his eyebrows and said slowly, trying his best to suppress his anger.
Fa Xiang sighed. "Brother Fa Yuan, you should understand the concerns of the elders. The Divine Church of Asura only has about a hundred people, but what about the Tempest Temple? If we completely fall out with them, who knows how many disciples of the Tempest Temple will die in their hands. If the bishop escapes and takes revenge on the disciples of the temple, the other three major sects will definitely stand by and watch. If the Emperor of the Great Ji Dynasty is involved … "
As he said this, he shook his head.
"Amitabha Buddha …" Fa Yuan chanted and looked worried.
The Emperor of the Great Ji Dynasty and the Grand Elder were afraid of each other and restrained each other from making a move. If the Grand Elder fought the bishop of the Divine Church of Asura, it would be fine if he won, but if he was injured, the Emperor of the Great Ji Dynasty would definitely not let go of this opportunity!
Fa Xiang sighed. "So, Brother Fa Yuan, work hard on your cultivation and enter the Enlightened Mastery's Boundary as soon as possible. When that time comes, the Tempest Temple won't have to be so cautious and indecisive and be called hypocritical!"
Fa Yuan was recognized as a peerless genius in the temple. At a young age, he had mastered several extremely difficult antique studies and would definitely enter the Enlightened Mastery's Boundary in the future. That was why he was always outside the temple to train his mind and improve his dharmic base.
Fa Yuan slowly said, "Yes, Brother Fa Xiang, I will work hard on my cultivation."
"However, the path of cultivation should not be short-sighted. It's better to take it one step at a time." Fa Xiang smiled. "Your comprehension is amazing. As long as you do not make a mistake, you will definitely enter the Enlightened Mastery's Boundary!"
Fa Yuan silently nodded.
"Fa Yuan." Chu Li's voice suddenly sounded. He carried two men in grey and landed in the courtyard, his white robe fluttering.
"Almsgiver Chu." Fa Yuan looked at the two men in grey in surprise.
Fa Xiang raised his thick eyebrows and bowed with pressed palms.
He was slightly dissatisfied with Chu Li. What kind of place did he think the Mercy Temple was? He came and went as he pleased as if there was no one there.
Chu Li threw the two men in front of Fa Yuan. "These two went to a remote village in the Yi Public House. They were prepared to destroy three villages and put the blame on me, making me a sinner of the High Duke's Public House. What wishful thinking!"
Fa Yuan chanted and stared coldly at the two men.
"I asked for some information," Chu Li said. "The Divine Church is located at the Moonfall Peak. There are two Guardians on the left and right … Did you already know?"
Fa Yuan showed a bitter expression and slowly shook his head.
