Chu Li shook his head and gently pushed out his right palm. His right palm turned into a shadow and hit the long sword.
"Ding …" The long sword flew out and Fang Jing felt like he was struck by lightning. His body froze and did not move.
Chu Li took another step forward and hit Fang Jing's chest.
Fang Jing shot straight at Hou Jingzong.
Hou Jingzong flew up and picked him up. He took a few steps in the air and went straight out of the hall.
The few steps he took in the air were to remove the abundant energy from Fang Jing's body. He was secretly shocked at the strength of the energy. He might not be able to win even if he took this hit unless he used the Secret Skill of Great Light.
Lu Yurong scoffed, "Ji Ruyu must die. I'll spare your lives. The next time you sneak into Green Mountain Town, Ji Ruyu will be your example!"
Hou Jingzong looked at Chu Li and said coldly, "Chu Li, the Holy Church will not let you go!"
Chu Li smiled, "The Holy Church wants to enter the Western Paradise but unfortunately, you can't do so in front of me. Come if you're not afraid of death. I'd like to see if the Holy Church of Light has more Grandmasters or if I can kill more people!"
"Good! Good! "Hou Jingzong nodded coldly and carried Fang Jing away.
"No need to chase!" Lu Yurong said, "You guys go back first. Thank you for your hard work."
"Yes." The eight Grandmasters replied and fluttered away.
Lu Yurong looked at Chu Li and smiled. Their cooperation was flawless.
Ji Ruyu had already taken the secret medicine before she came and it would take effect in an hour.
Lu Yurong took her time to talk after she arrived to buy time. The last attack was the most challenging and required precise inner energy. There could be no mistakes so she let Chu Li do it.
Lu Yurong came to Ji Ruyu and shook her head, "It must have been hard on you. But this way, the Holy Church of Light will hate you even more."
Chu Li said, "There's no need to worry about too many debts. The Holy Church of Light already hates me to the core. One more won't matter."
"Alright, I'll owe you another favor. Do we have to wait now?" Lu Yurong said.
"He will come back," Chu Li said, "We all have the Soul Returning Pill. How can the Holy Church of Light not have it?"
Lu Yurong sighed, "This Hou Jingzong is very dangerous."
Chu Li nodded.
Hou Jingzong's cultivation level was profound, far beyond that of a regular Grandmaster. This time, it was only because he was attacked by their combined forces, coupled with layers upon layers of stratagems, that the cautious Hou Jingzong only cared about escaping.
If Hou Jingzong was determined to kill, out of the eight Grandmasters present, no more than four would be able to escape with their lives.
"I'll have to use my secret skill next time." Chu Li frowned. "Should I kill him?"
"Forget it." Lu Yurong shook her head.
She did not want to have such a huge conflict with the Holy Church of Light yet. Killing an Altar Leader was not the same as killing an ordinary master. The Holy Church of Light would seek revenge no matter what, and the Ren Public House could not withstand the Holy Church of Light's crazy revenge.
Chu Li suddenly raised his voice. "Since Altar Leader Hou is here, why don't you show yourself?"
Hou Jingzong floated into the hall, his face calm and indifferent, his killing intent surging.
His actions had been predicted by them again. This feeling made him very sullen, as if he had become a fool and was at their mercy. According to their plan, this person's martial arts was outstanding, not inferior to his, and was too big of a threat, he must be killed!
Chu Li said, "We reckon that Altar Leader Hou will not give up. He wants to retrieve Ji Ruyu's corpse and think of a way to save her."
"You killed a disciple of the Holy Church of Light, did you think of the consequences?" Hou Jingzong said coldly.
Chu Li nodded. "I killed many disciples of the Holy Church of Light."
Hou Jingzong said, "Chu Li, don't be too proud. The Holy Church just did not have the time to deal with you, but these debts will be settled with you sooner or later!"
"I see." Chu Li smiled. "In that case, instead of sitting and waiting for death, this is a good opportunity for me to take advantage of the situation and try to get back what I owe, right?"
"I will take your life today!" Hou Jingzong said.
Chu Li shook his head. "You want to retrieve Ji Ruyu's corpse."
As he said this, he reached out to pick up Ji Ruyu and laughed. "That will depend on Altar Leader Hou's ability. Let's go!"
He shot towards Hou Jingzong like a gust of wind.
Hou Jingzong punched out fiercely.
"Bam!" Lu Yurong hit his fist force with her palm and a strong wind surged.
Chu Li had already passed by Hou Jingzong and left the main hall.
"Where do you think you're going!" Hou Jingzong shouted angrily.
He could use a secret skill to awaken Ji Ruyu and save her within six hours. However, after six hours, there was no other way. Hence, he wanted to retrieve Ji Ruyu's corpse.
Chu Li glided away with Hou Jingzong hot on his heels.
The two of them left Green Mountain Town one after another. Then, they crossed the river, leaped over the peak of the mountain, and skimmed over the treetops.
Every time Hou Jingzong increased his speed, Chu Li would increase his speed. The distance between the two of them could not be shortened, causing Hou Jingzong to feel despair.
Unknowingly, Hou Jingzong suddenly looked up at the moon in the night sky and realized that four hours had passed. He did not know where they had run to. Previously, he wanted to rely on his high cultivation level and long meridian to exhaust Chu Li's inner energy.
Now, it seemed like he was taking it for granted. Chu Li's meridian was also very long and there was no sign of exhaustion.
If this dragged on, Ji Ruyu would not be able to be saved. He could only use his secret skill.
A ball of raging flame appeared in his body. His essence, spirit, and spirit were thrown into the flame and turned into turbulent inner energy. His inner energy increased by four times and his speed suddenly increased. In the blink of an eye, he was behind Chu Li.
Chu Li suddenly took a step forward and widened the distance by twenty feet. With another step, he widened the distance by another twenty feet.
Hou Jingzong let out a long howl and increased his speed.
An obsession arose in his heart. He did not believe that he could not catch up to Chu Li!
The two of them were like two illusory shadows drifting under the moonlight. Their figures could not be seen clearly. In a flash, they had already disappeared into the distance.
Chu Li suddenly laughed. "Altar Leader Hou, how much time do you have left?"
"Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!" Hou Jingzong roared and increased his speed again.
Chu Li laughed. "Isn't it a pity for you to lose your life here? If I were you, I'd just return home. It's just Ji Ruyu, she's not worth mentioning to you. Why make a big deal out of it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he increased his speed again and disappeared in a short while, blending into the distant night.
Hou Jingzong suddenly stopped and withdrew his secret skill.
Instantly, his face turned as white as a sheet and he looked like he was going to collapse at any time. He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground.
The Secret Skill of Great Light was easy to activate but difficult to stop. It consumed a lot of energy and made his body weak. Moreover, his blood was boiling and he needed to rest well.
Chu Li's voice suddenly sounded behind him. "Altar Leader Hou, remember that you owe me a life."
Hou Jingzong suddenly turned around. Chu Li was standing two feet behind him, looking down at him quietly.
"You …" Hou Jingzong's face darkened.
Chu Li shook his head. "You better come up with an excuse to remove me from the Ren Public House. Otherwise, the next time we meet, I'll take your life. I mean what I say!"
With that, he flashed a few times and disappeared into the distance again.
