Both of them floated until the moon was high up in the sky. They stopped to rest for a while before continuing their journey.
Early in the morning, both of them arrived in front of a mighty river.
The waves were vast and the river was flowing at a steady pace. It was like a vast lake with sparkling waves and dense water vapor.
As far as the eye could see, the opposite riverbank was hidden in the morning mist, and it was hard to see it clearly.
No matter how good their Light-body Technique was, it was impossible for them to cross the river. They could only look for a boat.
Chu Li frowned as he scanned his surroundings and looked upstream.
"What's wrong?" Li Ruolan noticed his strange expression and quickly asked, "Could it be that the people from Hai Cang Mountain still haven't given up?"
Chu Li nodded slowly. "Looks like I've underestimated them!"
"They still want to kill us?" Li Ruolan frowned.
She looked in the direction Chu Li was looking at but there was nothing. It was a vast expanse of whiteness and there was no one there.
Chu Li said, "They're underwater."
"Then we can't take a boat." Li Ruolan frowned. "I can't swim and you can't swim either, right?"
Chu Li shook his head. "It's okay. They can't rely on us. … Let's go. There's a boat coming. We'll take this boat."
While they were talking, a small boat floated in the distance at an extremely fast speed.
The boatman was a young man with a strong body. His arms were bare and his muscles were defined as if they were made of bronze.
The young man had an ordinary appearance and his movements were relaxed. With a light sway, the boat moved like it was flying as if it was a fish swimming in the water.
After a while, the boat was close to them.
The young boatman stopped. "Are you going to cross the river?"
"Thank you for taking us across the river," Chu Li said.
Li Ruolan frowned as she stared at the young boatman. She could tell that he had perfected innate mastery in martial arts.
Chu Li said, "Let's go, Senior Sister."
"This person …" Li Ruolan turned to look at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled. "It's okay."
"… Alright." Li Ruolan could tell from his expression that he noticed something wrong with the boatman.
The two of them floated onto the boat and it did not sway at all.
The young boatman rowed and the boat quickly left the shore and headed toward the middle of the river.
"You're a disciple of Hai Cang Mountain, right?" Chu Li sat at the bow of the boat and asked lazily, "Is Hai Cang Mountain still going to hunt us down?"
"Sir, what are you talking about?" The young boatman was startled and looked at him in confusion.
Chu Li shook his head. "Let's not beat around the bush. If Hai Cang Mountain continues to pester us, don't blame me for being rude."
"I really don't understand what you're saying." The young boatman shook his head and paddled even faster. In just a short while, they were already more than a hundred meters away from the shore.
At this distance, he could still use his Qing Gong to rush back, so he kept increasing his speed. He wanted to get them to the center of the river before they found out.
Chu Li sighed and shook his head. "Stubborn!"
He closed his eyes and said no more.
He could see the killing intent in the boatman's heart. He had been restraining himself from killing as he didn't want to create too deep of an enmity. However, Hai Cang Mountain didn't think the same way. He killed Zhao Haiyun, so they wanted to kill him.
The young boatman saw that he no longer asked and felt anxious. It seemed that he had already seen through his identity, but he was not afraid. Could it be that he was good at swimming?
The boat quickly reached the middle of the river, and the young boatman suddenly turned over and dived into the water.
Chu Li waved his hand.
"Chi!" With a soft whistle, the young boatman's throat was cut. After falling into the river, his face quickly turned red.
Chu Li killed him and no longer held back.
He then waved his hand and shot out a few energy blades.
"Chi chi chi chi chi!" The energy blades shot into the river.
Chu Li's expression changed slightly.
After the energy blades entered the water, their speed was greatly reduced. Some of them hit the people in the river, but some missed.
There were four middle-aged men dressed in black robes in the river. They swam over like fishes and approached the boat.
"Chi chi chi chi!" Chu Li shot out another four energy blades.
The resistance of the water was surprisingly strong. It was not as weak as he imagined. After the sharp energy blades entered the water, they immediately became obedient. There was no killing intent at all, and they were easily blocked.
He cursed in his heart and said, "Senior Sister, be careful!"
He knew that the resistance of the water was strong. Even if a bullet was shot into the water, it would not go far. However, he thought that since he was shooting invisible energy blades, the resistance would be much smaller. The energy blades were extremely thin, and their power would not be reduced too much in the water, so he did not pay much attention.
However, once the speed of the energy blades was too fast, the resistance of the water would increase. It was not weak because the blades were thin. In this way, the speed of the energy blades would be greatly reduced, and their power would be greatly reduced.
"Hmm …?" Li Ruolan was surprised.
Chu Li shook his head. "These people are trying to sink the boat!"
He used his inner energy to move the boat like an arrow that was released from a bow. It was much faster than the previous boat.
One of the middle-aged men was injured, but the energy of the energy blades had been greatly reduced, so his injury was not serious.
The other three middle-aged men were like fishes. They chased after the boat faster than the speed of the boat, like wolves chasing after antelopes. They were getting closer and closer, and finally reached the bottom of the boat.
"Bang bang bang bang!" Soon, a few big holes appeared at the bottom of the boat, and the water gushed in.
Chu Li cursed. The long sword at his waist turned into a cold light, and instantly stabbed one of the men in the river. However, the other two dodged to the side, so he could not stab them.
"Bang!" The boat was instantly broken into pieces. Li Ruolan leaped up and flew into the air.
She had almost drowned when she was young, so she had a phobia of water. Even if a Grandmaster could stop breathing for a few minutes and be fine after falling into the water, she still did not dare to fall into the water.
"Tss tss tss tss!" Several hidden weapons were shot into the air from the water.
"Ding ding ding ding …" Li Ruolan waved her sword to block the hidden weapons, but her movements were sluggish.
Chu Li saw that the situation was not good, so he leaped up and blocked her in the air. He waved his long sword to block all the hidden weapons.
Li Ruolan let out a long sigh of relief.
Chu Li could see that she was afraid of the water. He held her slender waist, and they landed on a wooden plank. Then, he urged the plank to shoot out like a boat.
"Bang!" A muffled sound was heard, and two people shot out of the water.
The two elders were dressed in black leather clothing, revealing only a pair of eyes. They pounced at Chu Li and Li Ruolan like tigers.
Even with only a pair of eyes, Chu Li could recognize that one of them was the Thin Elder from before, and the other was a fat and strong elder.
"Tss tss tss!" Chu Li sheathed his sword, and two white lights shot out from his right hand.
"Ding ding …" The flying blades landed on the black leather clothing, but they were instantly deflected.
The two of them secretly spat out a mouthful of blood. Even though they were injured by Chu Li's strength, they did not retreat. Instead, they used the remaining force to rush toward Chu Li, and their swords stabbed at Li Ruolan like lightning.
Li Ruolan swung her sword to meet them.
"Ding ding …" Li Ruolan's long sword flew out, and the sword light stabbed at her lower abdomen like lightning.
Chu Li quickly drew his sword and waved it to block the sword light. However, he suddenly trembled, and his body froze for a moment. There was a strange force in the long sword.
He could not neutralize it for a while, and the Thin Elder stabbed his lower abdomen with his sword.
His Dantian was instantly injured, and the cultivation of the Divine Light Technique leaked out like a broken dam. The essence, spirit, and spirit of his body leaked out.
"Junior Brother Zhao!" Li Ruolan screamed.
Chu Li swung his sword at the Thin Elder with all his might, but his inner energy was not even a tenth of it. His speed was reduced, and the Thin Elder easily dodged it.
Li Ruolan shouted, and the Secret Technique of Divine Light was activated. A ball of flame ignited on her body, and her essence began to burn. She snatched Chu Li's long sword, and the sword light shrouded the two elders.
