Chapter 973: Predicament
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Li asked, “Do you all belong to the Holy Church of Light?”
A blade was thrown out after he asked that.
An elder used Divine Light Fist to diminish the speed of the flying blade. Then, he swung his sword to deflect it and rushed forward with another elder who was also holding a sword.
Chu Li stepped backward and shot a flying blade.
“Bang!” A group of golden light rays exploded in the sky and a long golden sword appeared still and unwavering, just like a shimmering cloud flashing in the night sky.
Anyone within tens of miles could see it, even the gods.
The Eight Great Protectors saw that their opponent overpowered them, so they did not try to be heroes either and signaled for help straight away. To them, the safety of King Ping was more of a bigger issue than their ego.
“Secret skill!” an elder said in a deep voice.
Chu Li saw that the situation was unfavorable. Heavenly Demonic Orb descended.
Suddenly, constant inner energy surged up within his body, gushing from all over the place. It entered his Dantian and transformed into Cloud Slashing Power’s inner energy.
He flinched and vanished, then appeared behind an elder.
The body of the elder expanded and shrank, and then it returned to its normal state. However, the body of the elder emitted an enormously powerful aura. Facing the attack of Chu Li from behind, he hit backward with Divine Light Fist and pounded right onto Chu Li’s right palm. “Bo!” Just like a rock that had fallen into a deep well, creating a weird sound.
Both of their fists were up against one another like they were interconnected. Then, they started a match of internal energy.
Cloud Slashing Power was in its purest form, it had the ability to devour and was invincible all along. Yet, he was forced to back down due to the overbearing internal energy of the elder.
The internal energy of the elder was as strong as the tidal waves in the ocean and as refined as water. The internal energy outmatched Chu Li’s and overwhelmed him to the point that he was out of breath.
His face clouded over and thought to himself, ‘He was a powerhouse who was unknown to the world indeed!’
Chu Li turned around and looked at King Ping who was contending with another elder. Both of them threw fists at one another. Divine Light Fist kept forcing King Ping backward until he was more than ten feet away.
Chu Li raised his voice. “Royal Highness, watch your back, there are still two fellows behind you!”
King Ping was taken aback but he did not turn his head around. He could not even utter a word, and could only retreat in the face of the Black-robed Elder.
Two black shadows quietly emerged from the woods, each gave King Ping a smack on the back.
A “bam” sound went off and King Ping was sent flying in the air and spewed a mouthful of blood.
Although he was armored, he was still heavily injured after taking a blow from both of them. The force from their palms seemed to have transmitted through the armor and hit right onto the body, it was exceptionally strange.
“Royal Highness!” The Eight Great Protectors were shocked yet furious.
Their bodies had greatly inflated, there was an intense viciousness surrounding them. Their bodies seemed to have exuded cold air, and their eyes were bloodshot. They completely ignored the Black-robed Elders’ attack. They traded wounds for wounds, and both sides ended up defeated and wounded.
Seeing their relentless pursuit, the Black-robed Elders put up their best fight as well. They had activated a secret skill and were already prepared to sacrifice themselves. They did not show any signs of weakness towards The Eight Great Protectors’ attack.
“Bang, bang, bang…,” the sound of the fist hitting the body was like a heavy hammer hitting the drum, every strike gave off a thrilling resonance.
Chu Li retrieved the Heavenly Demonic Orb, and suddenly waves of internal energy surged into his body in an attempt to enlarge and fracture his meridians.
The Heavenly Demonic Orb curled up rapidly and all of the internal energy was absorbed at once.
Chu Li let the Heavenly Demonic Orb absorb the internal energy, and healed his own internal energy. Then, he stared at King Ping.
After King Ping was thrown into the air, the three elders persistently went after him. They overtook him in mid-air and inflicted a few strikes with their palms.
Chu Li showed a somber expression.
Although King Ping had a treasured armor to protect his body, he could not block the phenomenal powers of the two. It had an unusual attribute that could bypass the treasured armor to hit the organs.
King Ping was heavily injured and could no longer maintain his figure, it felt like he was going to fall on the ground. “Bang!” Chu Li suddenly disappeared from where he stood and appeared in front of King Ping, then carried him on his back and ran.
“Where are you going!” the four elders implemented Time Steps and surrounded Chu Li and King Ping. Chu Li snorted bitterly, he waved his hand and a ray of cold light emitted from his figure.
“Ding…,” a sword flickered and blocked the flying knives, the other two elders’ Divine Light Fist collided with Chu Li.
Chu Li had no other way out, he could only face this head-on. He was determined to fight in a battle that would cause destruction to both sides.
However, all four elders employed their Secret Technique of Great Light; their cultivation was astounding. They had great speed, just like a fast-moving shadow with an obscure figure and their powers were phenomenal.
Chu Li’s speed and strength increased tremendously after he took quite an amount of Wind Speed Pill and Giant Spirit Pill., which were by no means inferior compared to the Black-robed elders who employed the secret skills. He was only lacking in the aspect of internal energy, but fortunately, he had Heavenly Demonic Orb. Once the extremely potent internal energy entered his body, it was engulfed by Heavenly Demonic Orb before it could cause any damage.
In this way, Chu Li could still withstand it, albeit hardly.
However, he could only manage to hold out against one of them, and not four of them altogether.
“Chi!” a sword pointed towards his arm.
The tip of the sword slipped on the floating silkworm treasured clothing and failed to pierce through it. However, the power of the sword was too strong and made him stumble which slowed down his rapid forward motion.
“Royal Highness!” The Eight Great Protectors rushed towards the same direction, but they were trapped with no way out.
Chu Li smiled bitterly. “Royal Highness, it’s time for you to practice your Light-body Technique in order for you to flee readily.”
King Ping coughed while laying on his back and welled up a mouthful of blood. He forced a smile and said, “If I could survive this, I’ll make sure to practice my Light-body Technique when I head back.”
Chu Li was greeted by Divine Light Fist face-to-face, he could not care less about the fist force entering his body. He shot out once again to escape being trapped by the four elders.
“Chi! Chi! Chi!” the four elders were heated and pumped up after employing the Secret Technique of Great Light, but they were extremely calm in their heads. They could clearly identify Chu Li’s weakness, and the four of them waved their swords to stop Chu Li from walking any further.
Suddenly, Chu Li glitched and escaped the circle. The four elders followed along and disappeared altogether and then reappeared by his side once again. The different sword techniques formed a dense net that enveloped him. Chu Li pulled out his sword and waved it.
“Ding, ding, ding, ding…,” Chu Li’s long sword was as quick as lightning, but it still could not keep the four swords off. In the midst of it, one of the swords managed to get to him from time to time, but the floating silkworm treasured clothing would always shield him from it.
He could only ward off the swords from two of the elders; not all of them. If it was not for the floating silkworm treasured clothing, he would have already been pricked countlessly.
, The four elders suddenly changed their direction and pointed their swords to his thigh after realizing that he was wearing treasured clothing. Although Chu Li waved his sword as quick as lightning, he still could not beat the speed of the four swords and ended up being slashed twice on his leg.
King Ping said solemnly, “Let me down.”
Chu Li responded, “You should leave first!”
Then, he quickly turned around, held the waist of King Ping in his hands and propelled him into the air.
King Ping was just like a shot-put that was thrown into the distance at an unusually high speed.
Chu Li fiercely swung his hands back, and two flying blades were tossed out. At the same time, Petrifying Finger was shot out.
This was never deployed before, but he waited until the moment when they were all caught up with King Ping just so that he could take them by surprise.
A flying blade was launched after the finger force, and it was aimed at the elder who was stagnant for a moment.
He was overjoyed as he was about to get rid of one of them.
As long as he succeeded, the situation could turn around!
As the flying blade approached the elder’s throat, a sword appeared and countered the blade. Due to the intervention, the elder who was struck by Petrifying Finger had already recovered.
He hissed. “Be careful, there’s something unusual about his finger force!”
Two of the elders pointed their swords towards Chu Li, and another pointed at King Ping.
Chu Li disappeared in a flash and appeared in front of King Ping. He took hold of King Ping and he kept on running forward afterward.
The four elders still surrounded them, and the situation became worse. The injury on his leg affected his speed.
“Hey!” the four elders suddenly placed their hands on each other’s back. Four of them joined as one and the lead elder hurled out a flying blade.
Electric light flashed across the sky.
Chu Li sensed that something was odd, but he could not avoid it even if he wanted to. It was as if he was hit by lightning.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He lowered his head and saw that there was a hole in the floating silkworm treasured clothing. The flying blade pierced through his chest and blood was gushing out.
