PS: I'm really sorry, I slept too late last night. I was in a daze this morning and overslept after a nap. I'm sorry.
Liu Xing saw that the situation was not good and quickly said, "Huo Yuhao, quickly dig a hole with your sword!"
Huo Yuhao pulled out the sword from his waist and leaped ten meters into the air. He stuck close to the stone wall and wielded his sword. The sword that could cut through iron like mud cut through tofu and easily dug a hole that was big enough for four people to enter.
Suddenly, rocks fell from the canyon, densely packed together.
"Quickly go in!" Liu Xing quickly said.
The four of them flew into the cave.
"Bam bam bam bam …"
"Rumble …"
As soon as the four of them entered, huge rocks fell from the sky. If they were to stand still, even if their martial arts were profound, they would have to expend a huge amount of inner energy to touch these huge rocks. These huge rocks fell endlessly. Although the inner energy of a Grandmaster was endless, it could not replenish such consumption.
When the inner energy was exhausted, it would be the time when they would be crushed into meat paste.
"This is too cruel!" Liu Xing shook his head and sighed.
The three of them nodded. They really did not expect this move. This was a military move that was rarely used by people in the martial arts world.
"Is the Head Chief outside?" Xiang Feixue asked.
Liu Xing smiled, "The Head Chief is so smart, how could he fall into such a trap?!"
Suddenly, a long whistle was heard.
The four of them became alert as they recognized Chu Li's voice.
"The Head Chief is up there!" Xiang Feixue quickly said.
Liu Xing nodded and said, "Let's go up!"
The rocks above no longer fell. They stuck their heads out to look up.
The clouds above were calm and the bright moon had shifted. The light in the canyon was slightly dimmer. The moonlight only shone on the top half of the stone wall.
"Go!" Liu Xing shouted.
The four of them got out of the cave and leaped up the stone wall. In the blink of an eye, they reached the top of the canyon.
Under the cold moonlight, they saw Chu Li's white robe fluttering as he stood with his hands behind his back. Not far from his feet were eight masked men in black.
Beside the black-clothed masked man was a pile of huge rocks the size of a small hill. Further away, there were several large cauldrons with boiling oil in them. Even from such a distance, one could feel the scorching heat.
"Head Chief!" The four of them cupped their fists.
Chu Li smiled. "Three of them are from the Imperial Residence. Let them go and cripple the other five's martial arts."
"Yes!" Liu Xing and the others cupped their fists and replied.
They rushed over excitedly and quickly pulled off the mask of the man in black.
"Hmph, these guys are really heartless!" Yin Wuqiu gritted his teeth. "Are you really going to let them go, Head Chief?"
These three fellows had gone through fire and water with him, but they were merciless. Looking at the huge rock, then looking at the burning oil, they had no intention of giving him a way out!
Chu Li said, "After all, he belongs to our Public House. I'll let it go this time."
"… Yes." Yin Wuqiu said angrily.
Liu Xing and the others were swift in their actions. Soon, they had crippled the martial arts of the five people. They were all Grandmasters, but their acupuncture points had already been sealed by Chu Li. They could not move at all and could only watch as their martial arts were crippled.
They glared at Chu Li and Liu Xing's group of five with hatred.
Liu Xing said, "Head Chief, these guys will be trouble in the future if we let them go. It's better to kill them."
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "Let them go. Let them live. They won't be able to do anything."
Killing them directly was not as intimidating as crippling their martial arts. It was better to be dead than alive.
"Alright." Liu Xing stared at them unwillingly and scoffed. "The Head Chief is merciful. He gave you a way out but you don't know how to be grateful. You deserve to die!"
Chu Li walked to the front of the three masters from the Imperial Residence and sighed. "I know it's the Royal Highness' order. You have no choice. I've always treated everyone in the Imperial Residence as a family. I never thought that we would have to fight. If there's a next time, I'll cripple your martial arts too."
The three of them looked helpless and cupped their fists.
They had seen Chu Li's god-like martial arts. Eight Grandmasters were defeated by him in the blink of an eye. They no longer had the intention to fight back. They only had respect for him.
However, as the Protectors of the Imperial Residence, how could they not listen to King An? They had no choice but to go against the Imperial Residence!
"Go." Chu Li sighed and waved his hand.
"Thank you, Head Chief!" The three of them cupped their fists and bowed. They looked at the gloomy Ying Wuqiu. They smiled bitterly and floated away.
"A bunch of unscrupulous people. The Head Chief treated them so well but he didn't hold back when he attacked them!" Ying Wuqiu cursed.
"Forget it, Elder Ying." Liu Xing said. "If they don't listen to the Royal Highness' order, I'm afraid they'll be dealt with by the Royal Highness."
Chu Li stood at the side with his hands behind his back. He recalled the situation just now.
The eight masked men in black had piled up a small hill of rocks and kept throwing them down.
The boulders that they carried were already strenuous for them. Now that they had accelerated their descent, one could imagine the power of the boulders. Even if they were Grandmasters, it would be difficult for them to withstand one boulder. Two boulders would be their limit. If the third one fell, they could only run for their lives.
If they were forced to hide on the cliff and jump up, those pots of hot oil would be waiting for them. If they didn't die, they would be left with half a life.
When Chu Li saw this, he was enraged and threw a punch.
He suddenly attacked and threw two Divine Light Fists. Then, he fought with the six men. He relied on his Phantom Body Movement Technique and the Divine Light Fists. He was successful.
When they received the Divine Light Fists, their movements slowed down. The fist force entered their bodies and started to cause trouble. Then, they received two more Divine Light Fists and had no strength to fight back. Their acupuncture points were sealed by Chu Li.
Chu Li did not spend much effort to subdue the eight Grandmasters. It was so smooth that it was beyond his expectations.
The power of the Divine Light Fist was amazing. It was far better than the Shura Palm.
The Divine Light Fist was not the strongest martial art in the Holy Church of Light. But it was already so powerful. When he thought about it, he was even more afraid of the Holy Church of Light.
"Head Chief?" Liu Xing called.
Chu Li was multitasking. He smiled. "Time will tell. There's no hurry. Where's your letter?"
"Here." Liu Xing patted his chest.
Chu Li extended his hand. "Give it to me."
Liu Xing took out the letter without hesitation and handed it over with both hands.
Chu Li took the letter. "Have you thought about it? Do you want to go to the Public House or continue back to the Imperial Residence? "
Liu Xing and the other three looked at each other and said, "We'll continue to stay in the Imperial Residence!"
Chu Li smiled. "You don't have to do this!"
"We can't just care about our own happiness. Leave the problem to the Head Chief!" Liu Xing shook his head.
If they left, they would be free and happy. However, the Royal Highness would definitely cause trouble for the Head Chief. After all, they were going to the Public House. It would be impossible to hide it. This was equivalent to stealing from the Imperial Residence. It would not be good for the Head Chief's reputation.
Moreover, they could not bear to leave the Princess. They had been secretly protecting the Princess. Unknowingly, they had developed feelings for her. If they left suddenly, the Royal Highness would definitely not arrange for masters to protect the Princess. If there was an assassin and something happened to the Princess, they would not be at ease for the rest of their lives.
