"Zhao Dahe, you're just in time!" Tan Hu laughed. "We were just about to look for you."
Chu Li replied, "You can't kill me, so why are you looking for me? You're wasting your time!"
"That might not be true!" Tan Hu laughed. "We won't let you escape this time!"
"Anyone can brag!" Chu Li said impatiently.
He reached out and placed his hand on Li Ruolan's waist.
Li Ruolan trembled and glared at him with her charming eyes.
Chu Li pretended not to notice and sped up.
Li Ruolan felt a sudden push on her waist and her body was pulled forward. The scenery in front of her was moving backward at a speed faster than her.
She sighed to herself. A month ago, she could defeat him with one hand. Today, a month later, he was much stronger than her. The world had changed so strangely that it was hard to fathom.
Chu Li's cultivation level was higher than Tan Hu's. With the Divine Light Body and Time Steps, he was able to maximize his speed. Even if Tan Hu used his secret skill, the distance between them was still increasing.
Tan Hu snorted and punched his fists together. A tiger silhouette appeared between his fists and instantly shot toward Chu Li.
Chu Li's Divine Light Fist hit the tiger silhouette, but it did not receive any force. However, the fist force continued to attack Tan Hu, forcing him to change his position. His body became sluggish and the distance between them increased again.
Chu Li dove into the forest.
The tiger silhouette followed him and soon crashed into a tree. A muffled "boom" was heard. The tree seemed to have been hit by a boulder and was about to be uprooted.
Chu Li held Li Ruolan in his arms and shuttled through the forest like a fish.
Through the observation of the Omniscient Mirror, he knew the road ahead of time. He knew where the branches were, where to turn, and where to find gaps. Therefore, he did not slow down at all.
Tan Hu also entered the forest, but he fell further and further away until he gradually disappeared. His angry roar could be heard from afar.
Chu Li smiled. "Miss Ruolan, how's my escaping ability?"
Li Ruolan saw that he was walking through the forest as if it was flat ground and did not slow down at all. It was obvious that his reaction speed was far beyond that of an average person. He was indeed a genius favored by the heavens.
"Hmm?" Chu Li turned to look.
Two hundred meters away, Meng Wu's tall and slender figure appeared. He stepped on the treetops, like a gust of wind blowing through the woods, and gradually approached Chu Li and Chu Li.
Chu Li frowned and said, "This old man is really difficult to deal with!"
"There are eight grand elders in the White Tiger Sect, and he's one of them." Li Ruolan said in a low voice, "Don't underestimate him. He made a name for himself a long time ago. He's been keeping a low profile all these years because he rarely fights as an elder of the White Tiger Sect. His cultivation level will only get stronger."
Chu Li asked, "He's an elder with this level of cultivation?"
He was a little disappointed. Meng Wu's cultivation was slightly higher than his, but not by much. It was the same feeling he had when he had first met Fang Qingyang.
Li Ruolan scoffed. "These old fellows are different from young people. Young people usually reveal 70% of their abilities, but these old fellows usually hide 30% of their abilities and only reveal 70% of their abilities. They won't show their fangs unless it's a critical moment. Be careful of him!"
Chu Li smiled. "But no matter how powerful he is, we can still escape with our lives!"
"You haven't learned the Secret Technique of Great Light. I'm afraid …" Li Ruolan shook her head.
Chu Li asked, "Why didn't the Saint teach me the Secret Technique of Great Light?"
"Maybe she's afraid that you'll use it," Li Ruolan said. "The Secret Technique of Great Light can reduce one's lifespan."
"That's still better than dying immediately," Chu Li said.
Li Ruolan remained silent. She was not sure either, but she knew there must be a reason. The Saint could not have forgotten.
As the two talked, Meng Wu continued to close the distance between them. He was only a hundred meters away now.
Chu Li suddenly dodged and made a turn.
In Meng Wu's eyes, Chu Li disappeared in an instant. He paused for a moment before he caught up with him again.
Chu Li kept changing his figure. The mountain range they were in was endless. Chu Li kept shuttling through the forest without stopping. He would sometimes turn left, and sometimes turn right. His direction was constantly changing.
After running for half a day, Chu Li stopped. The two of them stood at the peak of a mountain facing the wind.
The sun shone brightly in the sky, but it was not scorching hot.
The strong wind whistled, and Chu Li's clothes fluttered as he looked at Li Ruolan.
Li Ruolan's injuries were almost healed. The strong wind made her clothes stick to her graceful body, but it could not lift up her veil.
He had experienced the strangeness of this veil before. It could block prying eyes, and the Omniscient Mirror could not see into one's heart. He did not expect it to block the wind as well.
"Miss Ruolan, I'll see you off here," Chu Li said.
Li Ruolan nodded. "Zhao Dahe, thank you."
Chu Li waved his hand and smiled. "You don't have to be so polite. It's only natural. If something happened to you, I really wouldn't know what to do!"
Li Ruolan rolled her eyes at him. "Are you going back now?"
"Of course I can't go back." Chu Li scoffed. "I have to find a place to cultivate and master the Light Blade Technique. Then, I'll settle the score with them. If I go back now, I'll be suppressed and hunted down by them. It'll be too frustrating!"
"Yes, cultivate your martial arts first." Li Ruolan nodded.
Chu Li said, "Miss Ruolan, you have a lot of things to do. You should leave first. I think this mountain is good, so I'll stay here and cultivate."
"… I'll stand guard for you," Li Ruolan said.
Chu Li waved his hand and smiled. "I'm not cultivating the Great Light Scripture. I'm cultivating the Light Blade Technique. I don't need to stand guard."
Li Ruolan stared at him and slowly nodded.
She sighed to herself. 'This guy is more straightforward than slow-witted. He had such a good opportunity to stay with me, but he chose to let it go. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. He's so insensitive.'
It was not that she had a good impression of Chu Li. She only thought that he was silly.
Even if she did not like him, she would take care of him for a few days to repay him for saving her life so that he could cultivate in peace.
Yet, he rejected her. This was really …
When she thought about this, she said, "Alright then. Keep an eye on Meng Wu. I'll go back and report to the Saint."
"Okay." Chu Li looked reluctant to part with her as he stared into her charming eyes.
Li Ruolan did not move. She waved her hand and fluttered away. Soon, she disappeared into the dense forest.
Before she entered the forest, she turned around to look at Chu Li. He was still standing there in a daze as if he would always be there.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a little touched. It was a wonderful feeling to have someone who liked her so sincerely.
Chu Li watched as her figure disappeared. He felt a little lost.
Although he did not have feelings for Li Ruolan, he still felt a little melancholy when such an attractive beauty left. With a beauty by his side, he felt that the world had become so beautiful. Time passed so quickly.
He quickly suppressed his thoughts and went to the stone wall at the peak of the mountain to cultivate the Light Blade Technique.
He was proficient in the Eternity Blade Technique, so he did not need to practice his accuracy anymore. He had long reached the realm of becoming one with the blade and was extremely accurate. This was the most basic and time-consuming step in cultivating the flying blade. He had already solved it, so all that was left was the combination of the heart technique and the flying blade.
This was why he was confident that he could master it quickly. He had already reached the realm of becoming one with the blade, so he did not need to waste time on training.
Moreover, he had a unique advantage when it came to complex heart techniques. Due to his strong spiritual power, he could circulate his inner energy with ease, so he could easily activate the heart technique no matter how complicated it was.
