Chu Li's sword pierced the man's heart. When the sword was pulled out, the plump man was left half-dead.
He took a step forward and went behind the middle-aged man before stabbing him with his sword.
The narrow-faced man reacted very quickly.
He activated the Secret Technique of Divine Light the moment Chu Li appeared. When the sword was close, the technique was fully activated. Just as the tip of the sword was about to pierce him, he moved a foot to the side to avoid it and rushed toward Qin Jin and the others.
Chu Li's sword suddenly changed direction and caught up to him, stabbing him in the left shoulder.
The man did not stop as if he was not the one who was stabbed. He rushed toward Qin Jin.
Qin Jin and Feng Jing punched at the same time.
"Bang!" The man's chest was punched but he did not care. His fist continued to hit Qin Jin.
Qin Jin tilted his body to deflect the force but was not able to completely deflect it.
The Divine Light Fist was so powerful that Qin Jin spat out a mouthful of blood in the air. He was already heavily injured.
Chu Li did not care about him anymore. Qin Jin and the others would deal with him. He took a step behind the man and stabbed him with his sword.
The man scoffed and punched at the tip of the sword.
"Swoosh!" A strong wind blew. The fist force of the Divine Light Fist was solid. The sword felt like it was stabbing a rock.
When the tip of the sword was in front of his fist, the man suddenly loosened his fist. He spread his fingers and twisted his wrist as if he was playing the zither. His nails hit the side of the sword.
"Ding …" A huge force came from the sword.
Chu Li scoffed and the Heavenly Demonic Orb fell.
The three men's cultivation levels were unexpectedly high and their reactions were fast. They immediately activated their secret skills when they saw him. No wonder they had the courage to stay in Fairy's Capital.
The Heavenly Demonic Orb fell and a turbulent force appeared instantly.
He tightened his grip and withstood the tremendous force coming from the sword. Then, he stabbed again against the momentum.
"Swoosh!" The tip of the sword slid across the man's wrist. It was tough and difficult to penetrate.
However, the Modesty Sword could cut through iron like mud.
The skin on his wrist was cut open by the tip of the sword, revealing his white bones. The blood vessels on his wrist were cut open too and blood was gushing out.
The man did not care and continued to punch with his left fist.
The Divine Light Fist was so close at hand that it was shockingly powerful. Chu Li could see that the fist force was solid, like a ball of burning charcoal smashing toward him.
"Chi!" The tip of the sword pierced the fist energy.
His white robe billowed in the wind, as if he was standing in a gale.
The tip of the sword cut through the fist energy and pierced towards the fist.
The sturdy middle-aged man followed suit. He loosened his grip, opened his fingers, and twisted his wrist. His fingertips swept toward the sword once again.
"Ah!" The sturdy middle-aged man groaned as two of his fingers fell to the ground.
Chu Li's Manifestation of Nature Restoration had already predicted this move and he had secretly prepared for it.
The sturdy man loosened his fist. Chu Li immediately lowered the blade of his sword and rotated it ninety degrees.
The slightest error could lead to a huge error.
When the sturdy middle-aged man twisted his fingers, it wasn't his fingertips that swept the sword, but his knuckles that swept the sword's blade.
The Modesty Sword could cut through iron like it was mud, and it was filled with the inner energy of the Cloud Slashing Power. Chu Li's two fingers passed through the blade of the sword without any obstruction and landed on the ground soundlessly.
His right wrist was bleeding profusely and two fingers on his left hand were sliced off. However, the sturdy middle-aged man's expression did not change. Instead, his fighting spirit surged. With a ferocious leap, he charged towards Chu Li.
Chu Li dodged to the side and scoffed, "Who ordered you to do this?"
The sturdy middle-aged man raised his voice and said, "Elder Jiang, you guys leave. I'll cover you!"
The short and fat middle-aged man who was leaning against the locust tree's roots smiled bitterly. The narrow-faced middle-aged man who was surrounded by the three men shook his head. They were doomed today and could not leave.
He charged forward without a care for his own safety. Feng Jing and the other two men did the same. They used their secret skills to fight against him. Their bodies were covered in injuries and they charged forward without a care for their own safety.
Chu Li said calmly, "If you want to die, I'll grant your wish. Don't even think about entering the Western Paradise. If you're alive, you'll still have a chance. Maybe your fellow disciples will come and save you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he appeared behind the sturdy middle-aged man and slapped his back with his left hand.
"Bam!" The sturdy middle-aged man flew up and landed under the locust tree's roots, crushing the short and fat middle-aged man.
His body was as stiff as a statue. He could only watch helplessly as he fell. His acupuncture point had been sealed by Chu Li's palm.
Chu Li took two steps forward and stared at the narrow-faced middle-aged man who was surrounded. He pushed the Manifestation of Nature Restoration to its limit and suddenly shot out a finger.
"Bam!" The narrow-faced middle-aged man's body stiffened. Two palms and one punch landed on him.
He spat out a mouthful of blood. His body was no longer stiff. He ignored his injuries and threw a punch at Feng Jing, wanting to drag one of them down with him.
"Bam!" Chu Li's Divine Light Fist sent him flying.
The narrow-faced middle-aged man flew in the air and suffered another finger force from Chu Li. His acupuncture point was sealed. His stiff body fell under the locust tree's roots and rolled on the ground with the other two men.
Chu Li asked, "Elder Qin, are you alright?"
Qin Jin shook his head with a grim expression.
Chu Li looked at the other three men. "Elder Feng, Elder Zheng, Elder Hua, are you guys alright?"
"My old bones won't fall so easily!" Feng Jing scoffed and glared at the three men on the ground.
He had gone all out just now. He threw punches at each other without dodging. He wanted to see who could withstand it.
His body felt like it was falling apart. He was in excruciating pain. His internal organs were injured and he needed to recuperate for a while.
Although he was badly injured, he was filled with pride and joy.
Chu Li said, "We have to leave quickly in case we get help."
"Yes!" Qin Jin quickly said.
Chu Li grabbed two men while Zheng Dongxia snatched the last one. Everyone fluttered back to the Secret Guardians Hall and went straight to the main hall.
Chu Li did not say a word along the way. His mind was racing. Qin Jin and the other three men knew not to disturb him.
After taking a hundred thousand taels of silver from Chen Donghai, it was not appropriate for him to use any tricks. Moreover, this matter was urgent. Even if Chen Donghai did not give him a hundred thousand taels of silver, he would not deliberately delay it.
When Chu Li arrived at the main hall, he waved his hand and said, "Go back and recuperate."
"Yes, Centurion." Qin Jin and the other three men fist saluted and left.
Fu Mengshan and Xu Huande were sitting in the main hall.
"These are the murderers?" Fu Mengshan pointed at the three men.
Chu Li said, "Disciples of the Holy Church of Light!"
"Good boy, so fast!" Fu Mengshan slapped the armrest of the armchair and chuckled. "I didn't entrust the wrong person after all!"
Chu Li smiled. "Commander, I can't smile anymore after getting a confession!"
"What happened?" Xu Huande frowned.
Chu Li said, "They were instructed by the Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of War, Gu Qi!"
The smile on Fu Mengshan's face froze. Xu Huande's expression darkened too.
This was no small matter. The Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of War and the Holy Church of Light had already caused trouble once. Now, it was happening again. Could it be fake again?
It would be fine if it was fake, but if it was real, then the world would be turned upside down!
The Nature Restoration Manifestation made Chu Li's mind sharper and faster. On the way back, he had already deduced most of the matter. He realized that it was a false alarm, but it was no small matter.
He took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I've secretly investigated the murderer of the first assassination case. It was instructed by the deputy general under King Ping!"
"If that's the case, the two assassination cases are not related." Fu Mengshan nodded.
Chu Li shook his head. "The assassination of Imperial Crown Prince Shan might be related to the investigation of the assassination of Imperial Crown Prince Jiang."
"They're in cahoots?" Fu Mengshan's expression slowly darkened as he looked at Xu Huande.
Xu Huande hurriedly said, "Chu Li, don't talk nonsense!"
Chu Li replied, "How would I dare to talk nonsense about this?!"
The Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of War was in cahoots with the Holy Church of Light. The deputy general under King Ping was in cahoots with the Holy Church of Light. When the Holy Church of Light, the Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of War, and the deputy general were put together, Fu Mengshan and Xu Huande's expressions changed drastically.
"No, I have to report it immediately!" Fu Mengshan jumped up.
"Wait, Commander!" Xu Huande hurriedly said and looked at Chu Li. "This matter can't be fake, right?"
Chu Li replied, "I don't have any evidence. It's just my speculation."
Fu Mengshan glared at him. "You're deliberately trying to shock me!"
Chu Li shook his head. "Most likely."
Fu Mengshan stared at him as if he wanted to see through him. Chu Li looked back at him calmly.
Xu Huande also stared at him.
Fu Mengshan sat down and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the armchair. At first, his tapping was slow, but it gradually became faster and faster.
"Bang!" He slammed the armrest and stood up. "I'll report to the Emperor! … Chu Li, you should get ready too. Get ready to meet the Emperor! "
