He stared at the young man thoughtfully as he tried to guess his identity.
The young man slowly stood up and left the restaurant, trailing behind Yue Ru.
Nine Star Tower and Phoenix Goddess Brothel were about three miles apart.
Yue Ru did not use her Light-body Technique. Instead, she walked along the bustling street. She would stop from time to time to look around, pick up a trinket, and ask for its price. After bargaining for a while, she bought five accessories in no time.
The young man trailed behind her leisurely while fanning himself with a folding fan in his hand. He strolled leisurely and occasionally stopped to ask about the market price.
Meanwhile, Chu Li was a mile away from them.
He strolled along the street, listening to the clamor of haggling around him. He enjoyed the atmosphere very much, but he knew that he could only enjoy it for a while. If he continued to live such an ordinary life, he would not be able to stand it.
Yue Ru walked gracefully and finally turned left. She left the bustling street and walked into a small alley.
The alley was quiet and there were many twists and turns that seemed endless. It was only one street away from the main street, but it felt like two different worlds.
The young man leaped out from the corner of the wall and pounced toward Yue Ru. He was like a ferocious tiger charging down a mountain.
Yue Ru suddenly leaped backward to avoid his attack. She frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
The young man stopped and gave a fist salute with a faint smile. "I'm Sun Shiting from the Church of the Bloody Garment. Greetings, Miss Yue Ru from Tian Luo Sect!"
"Sun Shiting!" Yue Ru scoffed. "The Church of the Bloody Garment is here!"
"The Church of the Bloody Garment will never forget the great kindness that the Tian Luo Sect has shown!" Sun Shiting smiled. "I've been thinking of repaying you every day. Today, I'll take your life as interest."
Yue Ru said calmly, "You're talking big."
"Miss Yue Ru, you've been too careless." Sun Shiting shook his head. "I didn't bring my zither with me, so I couldn't use my Musical Assassination Technique. I'm sorry that I got lucky!"
"You can leave if you're sorry," Yue Ru said.
Sun Shiting laughed. "Haha, Miss Yue Ru, how can I let go of this opportunity? Even if I feel guilty, I have to do it for the sake of the Church of the Bloody Garment!"
"You're such a hypocrite!" Yue Ru scoffed. "Let's do it!"
Sun Shiting replied, "Then I'm sorry to offend you. Don't worry, Miss Yue Ru, I'll give you a proper burial. I'll burn incense for you every year on the anniversary of your death. I won't let you suffer in the netherworld."
Yue Ru glared at him coldly. All of a sudden, she took out a jade flute from her sleeve, brought it to her lips, and blew on it gently.
"Woo!" A clear whistle rang out, and Sun Shiting's body trembled.
His expression changed drastically. His previous calm and confident demeanor vanished as he charged toward Yue Ru with all his might.
"Woo woo …" The sound of the jade flute lingered in the air. Yue Ru's figure fluttered as she evaded Sun Shiting's attack. Like a lotus flower floating on a lake, she swayed leisurely.
Sun Shiting was like a mad tiger, attacking with all his might. His fists were ferocious and overbearing, whistling through the air.
However, the whistling sound of his fists could not overpower the faint sound of the jade flute. The sound of the flute could be heard clearly and seemed to be one with one's heartbeat. When the sound of the flute rose, his heartbeat accelerated. When the sound of the flute fell, his heartbeat slowed down.
Sun Shiting's blood essence was ferocious and powerful, but his control over his body was not as good as his inner energy. He could not prevent his heartbeat from being affected by the sound of the flute. His heartbeat involuntarily rose and fell along with the sound of the flute. In just a short while, he felt weak all over.
Sun Shiting's eyes widened as he gritted his teeth. His previously handsome face had turned ferocious as he yelled, "I was going to let you die a nice death, but you've brought this upon yourself. You're going to die a very, very ugly death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes turned red as if there were two balls of fire burning in his pupils. Then, his face quickly turned red as if it was covered with a layer of red cloth. It looked eerie and terrifying.
His body moved as fast as a ghost, and his fist missed.
"Bang!" The bluestone floor under Yue Ru's feet cracked.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …" Yue Ru kept retreating as the bluestone floor under her feet cracked under the force of his fists.
He did not expect Sun Shiting's fist force to be so ferocious and overbearing.
This fist force was different from pure inner energy. Although it was not as gentle, it was more powerful and destructive when it hit a person's body.
Yue Ru tried her best to play the flute as she retreated.
However, she was not fast enough. In the blink of an eye, Sun Shiting caught up with her and threw a punch at her. Yue Ru played the flute fiercely and the sound was ear-piercing.
After Sun Shiting stopped moving, the red light in his eyes flickered a few times before he attacked Yue Ru again.
Yue Ru could not dodge in time, but she could not just wait for her death. She could only condense a ball of energy in front of her palm and block the attack without touching his palm.
"Bang!" Yue Ru was instantly sent flying and slammed into the wall like a rag doll. Then, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Without stopping, Sun Shiting charged toward Yue Ru again.
After Yue Ru landed on the ground, she took out a string of silver bells and quickly shook them a few times.
Sun Shiting's body stopped moving again as if he was struggling. Then, he continued to charge toward Yue Ru and threw a punch that was even more powerful than before.
Yue Ru had no choice but to roll away to avoid the attack. Now that the sound of the bells had been interrupted, they were no longer as powerful as before.
Sun Shiting moved even faster and shot around like an arrow, forcing Yue Ru to dodge in panic. The bells in her hand were no longer effective and she could not care less about shaking them. She could only focus on dodging.
However, Sun Shiting's body movement technique was getting faster and faster. After a while, Yue Ru could no longer dodge and was sent flying again with a loud bang.
Sun Shiting sneered, "Hand over your life!"
His right palm suddenly changed and became bright red as if he had smeared his palm with the blood that had just spilled out of his body.
Yue Ru looked hopeless.
She knew that this was the Bloody Garment Divine Power's Blood Devouring Palm. If she touched his palm, her flesh would wither and she would turn into a dried corpse. She shuddered at the thought of how horrible and ugly she would look.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Sun Shiting was sent flying and slammed into the wall next to him.
His white robe fluttered as he landed in front of Yue Ru and asked, "Miss Yue Ru, are you okay?"
Yue Ru's body went limp as she had just escaped death. She quickly shook her head. "Young Master Zhao, I'm okay. You have to be careful. Don't touch his palm or your blood essence will be sucked out!"
Chu Li nodded. "Understood."
Sun Shiting touched his throat and widened his eyes as he stood up from the corner of the wall and glared at Chu Li.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and smiled.
He saw the wound on Sun Shiting's throat wriggling as if it had come to life. In the blink of an eye, the wound closed and quickly grew back.
Chu Li nodded and said, "This martial art is amazing."
"Be careful!" Yue Ru quickly said, "This is the Bloody Garment Divine Power. It can devour the opponent's blood essence and the blood essence is much stronger than ordinary people. Moreover, the inner energy he uses is different from ordinary inner energy. It's more overbearing. Don't touch his palm and don't compete with inner energy."
Chu Li asked, "Can't he be killed? How can he heal after being stabbed? "
"They may look strong, but their internal organs aren't," Yue Ru said. "Their internal organs are weaker than ordinary Grandmasters, so they're afraid of the Tian Luo Sect's martial arts. Unfortunately, I'm not skilled enough to restrain him!"
Chu Li nodded. "That's good."
Sun Shiting pounced at him like a ferocious tiger.
Chu Li waved his hand.
Sun Shiting was sent flying again and slammed into the wall.
