"Pfft!" Chu Li spat out a mouthful of blood and fell limply onto the stone table.
"Junior Brother Zhao!" Li Ruolan cried out in alarm. She quickly stretched out her arms to catch him so that he would not fall from the stone table.
Chu Li fell into her arms and hugged her. His heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale.
"Junior Brother, are you okay?" Li Ruolan asked.
Chu Li shook his head. His aura was getting weaker and he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "I'm fine, I won't die!"
If he did not do this, he would not be able to lure those two fellows.
Li Ruolan quickly said, "Don't rush to recover your martial arts. Take it slow!"
"Take it slow …" Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "I'll die sooner or later. I'll die anyway!"
Li Ruolan pursed her lips and gritted her teeth. "If worse comes to worst, I'll use my secret skill to its fullest. I won't let them have it easy!"
"You might not be able to hold on for long even if you use your secret skill." Chu Li said, "If you really use your secret skill, just run away. Don't get entangled with them. You might be able to escape back to the Li Dynasty."
Once the secret skill was activated to its fullest, one would die in no time.
"… Alright." Li Ruolan hesitated for a while before finally nodding.
Once she activated her secret skill and ran at full speed, it would be enough if she could send Junior Brother back to the Li Dynasty before he died.
The two elders in the distance frowned and stopped.
Chu Li sighed. "I didn't expect to cause such a disaster by letting the tiger return to the mountain. If I knew this would happen, I should've killed him. It's all my fault!"
"Junior Brother, don't blame yourself. It's better not to kill if you can avoid it. You didn't do anything wrong," Li Ruolan said.
"Senior Sister, help me heal," Chu Li said.
Li Ruolan nodded and let go of him. Then, she placed her hands on his back.
The skinny old man sighed when he heard that.
He knew that if Zhao Dahe really wanted to kill him, he would be injured even if he managed to escape.
He then changed his mind. Zhao Dahe must hate him now and his killing intent must be boiling.
If he let him go today, he would definitely take revenge in the future. For the peace of Hai Cang Mountain, he must not let Zhao Dahe live even if it was dangerous!
He must not make the same mistake as Zhao Dahe!
"Brother Zheng, let's go and kill them!" The Thin Elder turned his head and said, "We must not be careless. They are very dangerous."
"Understood!" The fat and strong old man smiled, "Don't worry, we'll go all out and try to finish them off in a few moves. We won't give them any chance!"
"Alright, let's do it!" The Thin Elder shouted.
The two of them shot toward Chu Li and Li Ruolan like two arrows.
The Omniscient Mirror had been watching their every move, and their thoughts were clearly displayed in his mind.
Just as they were about to move, Chu Li spoke, "Lend me your inner energy."
Li Ruolan hurriedly channeled her inner energy. Her palm energy was gentle and subtle as she did not dare to be too forceful for fear of hurting Chu Li.
She could only feel a fierce suction force coming from Chu Li's back, sucking in all of her inner energy. She could not help but circulate her inner energy. An endless stream of inner energy drilled into his body. His body was like a bottomless pit, as if it was going to devour all of her inner energy.
She wasn't worried, as she knew that it wouldn't harm her. However, she was curious about the mysteries of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture.
The two old men instantly appeared in front of the two of them. Their bodies and swords became one, and they shot toward Li Ruolan like a ray of light.
They were certain that Chu Li's martial arts had been crippled. Since the aura around him had completely disappeared, there was no doubt that he had lost his martial arts, so there was nothing to worry about. Their only worry was Li Ruolan. They had to kill her before she could activate her secret skill. Even if she was a beautiful woman, they still had to kill her.
"Tsk tsk!" Two whistling sounds were heard.
The Thin Elder had goosebumps all over his body. He quickly retreated, but it was too late.
They were only three feet away from Chu Li, and it was too late to react when they heard the whistling sounds. They felt a sharp pain in their throats, and they were instantly sent flying.
In a battle between masters, one wrong move would result in the loss of the entire game. Chu Li's previous attack was the same, and it was the same for them now that they were close to Chu Li, but they were defenseless.
"Tsk tsk!" Two whistling sounds were heard again, and the two old men suffered another two blades on their foreheads while they were still in the air.
The flying blades shot out from the back of their heads, and a mixture of red and white came out. It was blood and brain matter.
Chu Li let out a long sigh of relief, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Li Ruolan quickly withdrew her inner energy, and asked softly, "Junior Brother, are you alright?"
Chu Li shook his head.
Li Ruolan grabbed his wrist and checked. His internal organs were not seriously injured, but his Dantian was heavily injured, and he needed some time to recuperate. He had the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, so he could recover his martial arts in half a month.
She sighed in relief, and glanced at the two corpses on the ground, and smiled. "Junior Brother, you're amazing!"
It was amazing that he could kill these two old men even after his martial arts had been crippled.
If it were her, she could only activate her secret skill to escape from these two old men. It would be difficult to defeat them, and impossible to kill them.
Chu Li smiled. "It's all because of your inner energy, Senior Sister."
"I only have my inner energy, but I can't kill them." Li Ruolan shook her head.
Chu Li was able to kill them so easily because of his strategy. Junior Brother Zhao's strategy was brilliant. He pretended to be weak, and then launched an attack. They were caught off guard, which was why they died so easily.
Otherwise, based on their skills, it would have been difficult to kill them, and they had secret skills too!
Chu Li smiled. "It's because we're working together. Their swords are good, take them. They should have other treasures with them, too. Don't forget about my flying blades."
A sword that could pierce through his floating silkworm treasured clothing was not an ordinary weapon, so he must get it.
"… Okay." Li Ruolan gritted her teeth.
She took their swords and scabbards, and took a few bottles of pills from their clothes. Finally, she came to Chu Li's flying blades with a look of disgust. The flying blades had been shot through their heads, and she felt disgusted when she thought about the red and white mixture earlier.
Chu Li shook his head, walked over, and bent down to pick up the flying blades. He wiped them clean with the Thin Elder's lapel, and kept them in his wrist. "Let's go, we'll probably be pursued."
Li Ruolan looked at him strangely, then grabbed his waist and fluttered away.
Chu Li looked at the long sword in his hand, and when he pulled it out of its scabbard, a warm feeling of water hit his face, as if his face was pressed against spring water.
"Good sword!" Chu Li praised. Two small words flashed on the blade, and he whispered, "Cold spring."
"The Hai Cang Mountain's Elder is indeed a divine weapon!" Li Ruolan smiled.
Chu Li nodded. "At least I didn't waste my martial arts for nothing."
"A treasure sword like this is rare," Li Ruolan said. "We've gotten a great deal."
Chu Li asked, "Doesn't the Holy Church of Light have a treasure sword?"
"We do, but there aren't many of them, so we might not get a chance." Li Ruolan shook her head. "It's hard to find a treasure sword, just like the pills nowadays, you need the blood of spirit beasts to forge a real treasure sword, and there are fewer and fewer of them now."
"Doesn't the Holy Church of Light have a Divine Armament Hall?"
"It's called a divine weapon, but the weapons forged there are sharp, but they're much worse than the divine weapons from ancient times. They can't be considered divine weapons without the blood of spirit beasts," Li Ruolan said. "These two treasure swords are real treasure swords, so we've gotten a great deal."
"I traded my life for them." Chu Li smiled. "Indeed, good things need to be traded with one's life."
Li Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled.
She suddenly sped up, eager to return to the Li Dynasty.
"Junior Sister Li!" A long whistle was heard from behind.
