Chapter 109: Chapter 109

“What should we do?” Guo Mulin asked frantically. “How did they find us?”

“They probably have a tracking master! Elder Zhao Qingshan, there’s no point in hiding any longer. We’ll have to face them straight up!” Chu Li said.

Zhao Qingshan furrowed his brows and looked at him. He then looked at Xiao Shi, “Lady, we shall distract them!”

“Mmm,” Xiao Shi nodded lightly.

“Elder Guo Mulin, I shall leave this to you!” Zhao Qingshan said.

“Could you actually succeed for once? Make yourselves a bit more useful!” Guo Mulin scoffed. “You better not get distracted and leave us all to die in here!”

“As long as we distract them long enough, there’s a chance of survival!” Zhao Qingshan said.

“Alright, alright. Do it quickly!” Guo Mulin waved off his hand.

Zhao Qingshan and the six other people flew out of the cave and rushed uphill. They did a long whistle on the top of the hill.

Chu Li looked in the Omniscient Mirror.

The fourteen men surrounded the top of the hill. There were six of them at the front, right and back. They quickly reached the top of the hill and engaged with Zhao Qingshan and his men. The eight Innate Masters tactfully stayed out of the battlefield.

Zhao Qingshan and his men believed that the eight Innate Masters were at their weakest. They focused their attention towards the eight Innate Masters.

The six Grandmasters tried to stop them while the Innate Masters attempted to escape, but they were like sheep to the wolves. Zhao Qingshan found the perfect opportunity and struck a middle-aged man who was twenty feet away.

The man was thrashed as if he was crushed by boulder flying towards him. He flew in a straight line and spewed out a stream of blood like an arrow. He fell on the ground and ceased to move.

The remaining seven Innate Masters were afraid now. They tried their best to escape, but they disappeared in the mercy of Zhao Qingshan and his men.

The six Grandmasters tried their best to stop them. If Zhao Qingshan and his men manage to eliminate any more of the front troops, the Grandmasters would lose their pride and dignity.

Twelve Grandmasters were all-out skirmish. Shapeless forces of the palms and the strength of their strikes dissipated into the air. Debris was flying all around the area. The tree leaves were moving like small tornados, gradually building up in size. The noise it made was scary. The Innate Masters who were terrified dared not approach any closer.

Chu Li furrowed his brows. The seven Innate Masters unexpectedly regrouped and were charging straight for them!

Chu Li’s expression changed.

“What is it, Young Chu Li? Why’s has your expression changing over and over!?” Guo Mulin asked.

Chu Li quickly placed his index finger on Guo Mulin’s lips, “Elder Guo Mulin!”

Guo Mulin’s expression changed as well. He lowered his volume. “Have they found us?”

Chu Li gave a serious stare as he nodded.

Guo Mulin tightly furrowed brows and turned to walk out. Chu Li quickly held out his hand to block him.

Guo Mulin was afraid of Chu Li’s condition at that moment. He dared not use force to push through him. He widened his eyes.

“Let me do it,” Chu Li said in a deep tone.

“Are you crazy!?” Guo Mulin suppressed his voice and scolded him.

“Are you still blind to see your own condition? Why do you still want to fight?”

“I understand the condition I’m in,” Chu Li said.

“You understand, my ass!” Guo Mulin stopped him from elaborating any further.

Chu Li smiled as he shook his head.

“You guys want to fight? There’s no need for it.” Xiao Shi whispered.

“Young Xiao Shi?” Guo Mulin turned and looked at her.

“Lu Yurong does not dare to lay a hand on me. Elder Guo Mulin, you take Chu Li and leave!”

Xiao Shi said.

“Young Xiao Shi, don’t be absurd!” Guo Mulin replied in frustration.

Xiao Shi gave a quiet giggle, “Lu Yurong is smart. She knows the consequences of killing me. My big brother is definitely going to start a war if I die!”

Chu Li looked at Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi stared straight at him. “Just say it. We’re already in this terrible situation after all,”

Chu Li sighed, “I’m afraid that Lu Yurong is doing this to enrage Master Xiao on purpose.”

Xiao Shi’s bright eyes dilated. It seems like she had thought of something.

Chu Li sighed.

Fate is a hard thing to predict. It had given the Second Lady incomparable looks and intelligence, but unfortunately cursed with bad health. She would have given up the other two just for a healthy body.

Chu Li pushed Guo Mulin away gently and moved outside of the cave. He looked towards the seven Innate Masters approaching.

Four hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred…, fifty meters, forty…

Tsk! Tsk!

Chu Li swung both his hands. Two streaks of cold light shot out of his hands.

He spat out a stream of blood and stumbled backward. He leaned onto the stone wall for support. At this point, it was completely supporting his weight.

The light of the blade flashed and split through the air, digging into the throat of two Innate Masters in under a split second.

They held onto their throats and widened their eyes in disbelief. They fell on the ground, facing upwards.

The other five Innate Masters were shocked. They quickly retreated back about a hundred meters away. They hid behind a rock and scanned their surroundings.

Chu Li spit out another mouthful of blood. He was getting paler by the minute, but he remained calm. Giving a tranquil expression as if he was not in pain.

Guo Mulin sighed and shook his head at Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi understood now. Chu Li was going to die.

It was their responsibility to risk their lives to defend her as a Protector since she was one of the Ladies of the Public House. She absolutely appreciated it, but she did not dwell on it for long. She understood that everyone will meet their end. Their own destiny.

Any smart person would love their lives much more than the others. However, not Chu Li; even with his wit, he decided to die for her in such a calm manner. She was touched.

Chu Li leaned on the stone wall and sighed to himself.

His meridian that had just started to heal was damaged again. It was going to break apart soon. If he did not settle this, he was actually going to become completely useless. However, he was confident in his Life and Death Scripture. With the scripture, no matter how battered his meridian was, it could be recovered. Even if he lost all his martial arts and was not the same as before, it does not matter.

The gushing spiritual force rushed into his body from the hill, nourishing his body and recovering his injuries.

Guo Mulin took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured out the last red coloured pill. He handed it to Chu Li.

Chu Li immediately stuffed it into his mouth. A surge of pure energy dropped straight into his lower abdomen. A boiling heat flowed within him. He felt as if his body was being dipped into scalding hot water. It was so hot. His body immediately felt relieved, light and comfortable. His injuries immediately recovered slightly.

Guo Mulin shook his head as he glanced at the two delicate flying blades on Chu Li’s hand. No matter how great the drug was, it was still not enough to support what he was going to do. He could only wish for the best.

A picture from the outside appeared in Chu Li’s head.

Zhao Qingshan and the other eleven Grandmasters could not hold on any longer. The Grandmasters from Ren Public House were apparently there just to tangle them up and assume a defensive position. Zhao Qingshan and his men began to feel impatient and continued to attack them relentlessly.

The five Innate Masters were all wearing grey shirts. They had stuck to the ground and tried once again to stay as low as possible as they headed towards the cave. They had faint idea where the flying blades were coming from.

Tsk! Tsk!

Two strides of cold light streaked out again.

Another two Innate Masters held onto their throat and fell on the floor. They lost their breath and collapsed.

The remaining Innate Masters quickly dropped to the ground, huddling themselves behind the stone. They dared not to move for they were extremely scared. They watched as four of them were instantaneously killed. They have not seen their opponent yet!

They initially heard from their boss that they needed to be careful. The one called Chu Li was very powerful and they had already prepared themselves to the fullest with the great caution.

Yet, Chu Li had exceeded their expectations!

There was blood dripping down the corner of Chu Li’s mouth. He was extremely pale. He slid and sat on the ground on the soft mud.

Three of them leaned behind the rock and looked towards one another. All of them had the same idea which was to retreat.

“Go! Let’s go!” One of them spoke and the other two nodded. They lowered their body and quietly backed away. After retreating for about a hundred meters, they quickly ran towards the top of the hill.

As Zhao Qingshan saw them return, his expression morphed into rage. He will channel all his force to bring them down, even if it meant taking his life.

One of the Grandmasters from the Hu Ren’s Public House called out to them, “Young Sun, have you found the others?” An Innate Master said with a bitter face.

“Elder Mong, there are only three of us left now. The one called Chu Li killed four of our brothers!”

“Where is he?”

“He’s probably nearby!”

“You didn’t see him?”

“N—No.”

“Rubbish!” That Grandmaster was able to tell what happened as soon as he heard their report. They were probably scared off by his tactics. So, he called out, “Gather everyone!”

“Yes, sir!”

That Innate Master took out a signal tube and tossed it on the air. It immediately exploded, which created a red cloud. It remained a concentrated mass and did not scatter.

Zhao Qingshan and the other five men’s expression changed.

Now all six of them were blocked. Lady Xiao Shi and the rest were not capable of defending themselves. The moment one of them falls, everything would be over.
