Zhou Xun looked doubtful.
Chu Li was annoyed. "Commander, you don't believe me?"
"Dead men tell no tales," Zhou Xun said. "What if he didn't turn into a beam of light and flew away?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Chu Li said. "He really turned into a beam of light and flew into the sky. I heard chanting and it sounded like he became a Buddha. … This old monk is too powerful. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have the strength I have now."
"He told you not to teach this martial art to anyone?"
"No." Chu Li shook his head. "He only told me not to tell anyone else in case someone tries to steal this martial art because it's too powerful."
"If it's that powerful, you wouldn't still be an acquired master." Zhou Xun shook his head.
"He said this is to build a foundation. If your foundation is better than others, it'll be easier and faster for you to cultivate any martial art in the future. You'll also be stronger than others!" Chu Li smiled proudly.
Zhou Xun said, "Practice it for me."
"Commander, you want to learn too?" Chu Li asked nervously.
Zhou Xun said, "I'm just curious. I want to see what martial art you're practicing."
"Well … Commander, you're a Grandmaster. It's useless to practice this." Chu Li made an excuse.
"Young?? Gather? Sword of Huanqi? Unite with the enemy? Yigulu?
"You really can't learn it?"
"If you don't learn it, I won't care," Zhou Xun said coldly.
Chu Li sighed. "Alright, I'll go back and practice it."
The two arrived at Chu Li's courtyard.
He quickly practiced the first six levels of the Sentient Menace. His originally slow movements were now as swift and violent as his fighting moves.
Zhou Xun frowned and stared at him.
After Chu Li was done, he looked at him proudly. "Commander, how is it? Isn't it amazing?"
"It's indeed the Sentient Menace," Zhou Xun said.
The Tempest Temple's Sentient Menace was well-known. The Holy Church of Light had the first three levels of the Sentient Menace.
Zhou Xun had practiced the Sentient Menace before but he did not succeed. The Sentient Menace's entry level was too difficult and he did not have the heart technique for the rest. Hence, he only tried to practice it and gave up after failing.
When he saw Chu Li's movements, he recognized it immediately.
Chu Li said, "The Sentient Menace, what an awesome name!"
"What else did the old monk say?" Zhou Xun frowned.
Chu Li shook his head. "Oh, he only told me not to go to the Ji Dynasty because I'll be killed. Of course, I won't go to the Ji Dynasty."
"Fatal calamity..." Zhou Xun frowned.
Chu Li nodded. "Why would there be a fatal disaster?"
"It's probably because of this set of martial arts of yours." Zhou Xun said, "Alright, it's getting late. You should rest too. Watch out for Feng Xi's assassination!"
Chu Li scoffed. "As long as he doesn't do it himself, the others aren't worth mentioning!"
Zhou Xun smiled and turned to leave.
Suddenly, a glimmer of hope appeared in his heart. If what Zhao Dahe said was true, then it would be beneficial for him.
Although Zhao Dahe had cultivated the Sentient Menace, he was not a disciple of the Tempest Temple. If he could cultivate the Great Light Scripture as well, it would be a combination of the strengths of both sects. It would be more beneficial for his cultivation and his achievements in the future would be higher.
Once his achievements were high, his position as the recommender would also rise.
Therefore, he changed his mind and did not kill him directly.

In the evening, Chu Li arrived at a restaurant.
He really could not afford to eat at home. He wanted to see who else Feng Xi would send to assassinate him. He wanted to witness the assassination techniques.
After he finished his meal, he did not move.
As he walked back, he turned into a quiet alley and suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Feng Xi slowly walked out of the shadows in the corner.
Chu Li frowned and looked at him. "Commander Feng."
Feng Xi's plump figure and solemn face created a strong sense of oppression. He stared at Chu Li and asked, "Zhao Dahe, you're the one who killed Changwen, aren't you?"
Chu Li admitted without hesitation. "Yes, I killed him!"
"Why did you have to kill him?" Feng Xi slowly took a step forward. "Although he pushed you, it was also a fortuitous encounter for you. Why did you have to kill him?"
Chu Li replied, "I was lucky to have a fortuitous encounter. He did kill me. I've always been a person who repays kindness and enmity. Since he killed me, I must kill him. It's that simple!"
"Alright, if that's the case, you have nothing to say if I kill you, right?" Feng Xi said. "You killed Changwen, so I must avenge him."
"Alright, let's do it our own way!" Chu Li nodded.
He suddenly pulled out his blade and swung it.
Feng Xi's feet slid as he glided backward and threw a punch at Chu Li.
"Bang!" Chu Li was sent flying and crashed into the wall of the alley.
Chu Li held onto his long blade tightly as he took out a small pebble and threw it at Feng Xi. The pebble let out a sharp whistling sound as it turned into a shadow.
Feng Xi lightly swung his palm, but the pebble broke through the obstruction of his palm energy and crashed into Feng Xi.
Feng Xi tilted his body and dodged the attack. He shook his head and said, "You may be strong in the eyes of an Innate Master, but you're nothing in front of a Grandmaster. You don't have to struggle in vain. Just slit your own throat and die a quick death!"
"In your dreams!" Chu Li scoffed.
He took out another pebble and threw it at Feng Xi. The pebble created a sharp whistling sound and a shadow.
Feng Xi frowned as he waved his palms and retreated to avoid the pebble.
Chu Li dashed forward at an incredible speed. His long blade turned into a silver waterfall as he swung it at Feng Xi.
Feng Xi waved his palms a few times. His plump body was unusually agile as he easily dodged the pebble. Facing the long blade, he only took a step to the side and easily avoided it.
The long blade followed with a horizontal slash. River Razing Form.
Feng Xi took a step back and easily avoided the blade.
Chu Li rushed forward and used the Yin Lifting Form.
Feng Xi turned sideways and took a step forward. As he dodged the long blade, he threw a punch at Chu Li.
"Bang!" Chu Li was sent flying again.
He seemed to be hanging on the wall of the alley and did not slide down.
Feng Xi threw another punch.
"Bang!" Chu Li's body trembled as he took the full brunt of the punch. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He was injured.
Feng Xi's casual punch was a charged attack. He thought he could kill Chu Li with one punch.
Chu Li wiped the corner of his mouth and said angrily, "You're indeed a Grandmaster!"
Feng Xi said, "Your body is indeed extraordinary. Again!"
He threw another punch.
Chu Li's long blade pierced the wall and fell.
"Bang!" A clear fist mark appeared where his heart was.
This punch was unusually firm and well-trained.
Another fist print appeared on the ground as he continued to roll toward Feng Xi. During this process, he was sent flying by Feng Xi once again.
He was like a rag doll that Feng Xi could hit as he pleased.
More blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He gritted his teeth and glared at Feng Xi. His eyes flashed with unyielding anger as he charged toward Feng Xi. Again and again, he was sent flying.
Feng Xi shook his head as he punched. "It's useless."
Chu Li said angrily, "I'll kill you!"
"Haha, don't even think about it in this lifetime!" Feng Xi smiled and threw another punch.
"Bang!" Chu Li was sent flying.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed the top of the wall. Then, he flipped over the wall and disappeared from the residence.
Feng Xi shook his head. It was just a last-ditch struggle. He flew over the wall.
"Swoosh!" A cold light suddenly appeared in front of him.
Feng Xi remained calm in the face of this sneak attack. He flicked his finger.
"Ding …" The long blade was sent flying.
Chu Li was like a lamp at the end of its tether. His divine energy had disappeared and he could not even hold his long blade firmly.
After he fell from the wall to the ground, he did not have the strength to escape. He could only watch as Feng Xi's palm hit his heart.
