Chapter 695: Heavily Injured

Fang Qingyang’s body like a flowing light, suddenly appeared behind Lu Yurong.

Lu Yurong’s reflexes were surprisingly fast as she effortlessly responded with her palm.

“Boom!” The collision of her palm and his fist immediately flung her away.

His inner energy was as vast as an ocean and before Lu Yurong could use her secret skill, her inner force was completely diffused by the impact of his, she was utterly defenseless against it.

Fang Qingyang sped up and approached her retreating form, his fist drawn out.

He was using the Divine Light Fist but his was completely different from that of the Holy Church’s other disciples, the formidable power of his Divine Light Fist cannot be compared, it was like the fall of the blazing sun, inevitable.

Chu Li gave up on God’s Limbs and used Imminent Skyline. Then, within a flash, he appeared in mid-air and pulled Lu Yurong into his arms as he retaliated using Shura Palm with his left hand.

“Plop!” A sound echoed, resembling a pebble’s drop into a deep well.

The clash of fist and palm force mid-air ended up with nothingness, with one of extreme Yin in nature and the other extreme Yang, both of them canceled out each other.

“Great palm energy!” A look of excitement grew on Fang Qingyang’s handsome face, he did not expect Chu Li’s inner force to be thus solid as he proceeded to throw over ten consecutive punches with both arms.

The force of his fist materialized in the air and descended upon Chu Li like a hailstorm, its smothering force was approaching in unparalleled speed and its power was inescapable.

Holding Lu Yurong in his arms, Chu Li pulled back using the immense speed of his Imminent Skyline until they were out of reach.

“Swoosh swoosh!” Two beams of light shot forth.

One Light Blade was fired at Chu Li’s chest and the other at Lu Yurong.

The Light Blade’s formidable power was unrivaled and could only be evaded, not deflected; so, if he managed to dodge it, Lu Yurong would not be able to; but if he were to pull her away from harm, he would not be safe from it—he could not save both of them.

He quickly mulled it over and instantly made his decision—he pushed Lu Yurong away aggressively then tried his best to angle his precordium away.

“Swoosh!” A Light Blade penetrated his chest and disappeared after passing through his body.

Lu Yurong bit her red lip and glared at him. “Leave first!”

It was as if he had not been impaled when Chu Li appeared beside her in a flash, took her waist and within several flashes, jolted them over twenty meters away.

Fang Qingyang’s sharp brows knotted together as he shook his head.

He could not believe that his Light Blade could miss them again and again, this Chu Li person truly knew a thing or two!

With a wave, he hurled a few Light Blades that flew towards Chu Li with the speed of light.

The Light Blades fired away.

As though he had eyes behind his head, Chu Li swiftly bent down and effortlessly evaded them. After all, there was a great distance between them.

The wound on his chest was almost nonexistent as not a drop of blood dripped and flashes of his movements were speeding up—he must have used a secret skill.

Fang Qingyang shook his head and used the Secret Technique of Great Light. In an instant, his movements sped up and he immediately caught up to Chu Li, his Divine Light Fist already drawn.

Chu Li did not dodge, he endured this punch on his back and used to the fist force’s power as momentum to propel himself away, putting a greater distance between them.

Fang Qingyang shook his head again.

Chu Li was really putting up a desperate fight in using such a method to increase his speed, but with Fang Qingyang, there was no use risking his life.

Like a flash of light, Fang Qingyang caught up to Chu Li once more, another fit drawn.

“Boom!” Chu Li took another blow, he did not bat an eyelid although there was already blood at the corners of his mouth. The Imminent Skyline might be fast but it could not contend with Fang Qingyang’s body movement technique, that was why Chu Li had to depend on this stupid method.

Lu Yurong stuck close to his chest, her mouth bleeding excessively and her vital organs heavily damaged. The fist force of Fang Qingyang’s Divine Light Fist was refined and blazingly hot, her organs were being burned unceasingly.

The Empyrean Fairy Power could subdue the Great Light Scripture, while the Great Light Scripture could defeat her.

Chu Li tried his best to disregard the pain he felt as the Manifestation of Nature Restoration flowed in him.

Although the Omniscient Mirror was suppressed, Chu Li could still use it on his surroundings, images of terrains and landscape were projected in his brain and he could still detect the blade’s traces—as long as he did not use it on Fang Qingyang.

Fang Qingyang frowned, a punch from him was normally a fatal blow but even after enduring two stabs and several punches, Chu Li was still brimming with energy, it was undeniable that Chu Li was not an ordinary person.

This further fueled his desire to kill Chu Li.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Qingyang appeared behind Chu Li again. This time, he went in closer and struck Chu Li’s back with his fist once more.

With his left arm around Lu Yurong’s thin waist, Chu Li pulled out his sword with his right hand and pierced Fang Qingyang’s throat out of the blue, his Cloud Slashing Sword Technique’s formidable power reached its peak in this unexpected attack.

“Urgh!” Fang Qing’s eyes widened, surprised at the strike on his throat.

Despite his powerful inner force barrier, his throat was still harmed by Chu Li’s sword tip and had started to bleed.

He quickly used his inner energy to disperse the sword’s force and prevent it from pushing into his mind. Meanwhile, the Great Light Scripture’s inner energy was pouring in like water to dispel the strong, ravaging sword force.

The reason why Chu Li held back on using his Cloud Slashing Sword Technique was for this moment and indeed, it worked a miracle for him.

Chu Li knew that he could not kill Fang Qingyang with this strike, but his resistance at this moment was to obtain a slim chance of survival.

He and Lu Yurong then arrived at a cliff and jumped off without hesitation.

Fang Qingyang’s Great Light Scripture was extremely refined, so after quickly banishing the sword force, he transformed into a ray of light and reached the cliff just in time to watch Chu Li and Lu Yurong fall into a bottomless valley where they were immediately swallowed by the thick fog and disappeared.

Fang Qingyang shook his head and stomped his feet angrily, breaking mountain rocks in the process.

Mid-air, Chu Li disappeared in a flash, he utilized the cliff to finally free himself from Fang Qingyang’s range of suppression and put his God’s Limbs to use.

In the next moment, both Chu Li and Lu Yurong appeared behind Gu Qi.

Lu Yurong was as heavily injured as Chu Li was, but they both knew that if they did not kill Gu Qi now, there was no other chance to do it.

Fortunately, Gu Qi was in a worse state than they were, after two punches from Chu Li, he was devoured by the powerful fist force which greatly aggravated his wounds, he could hardly move now.

“Swoosh!” Chu Li waved his sword with all his might and Gu Qi was decapitated.

Before his head touched the ground, Chu Li had already vanished with Lu Yurong in his arms.

When Fang Qingyang showed up in his ray of light and saw Gu Qi’s dismembered body, he could not help letting out a loud cry that reverberated through the heavens.

“Boom boom boom boom….” Trees with thick tree trunks all snapped apart.

As leaves fell, those who were close to him burst into dust with a “Puff”, shattered by the violent force surrounding him.

Fang Qingyang stopped his actions and reassumed his calm expression, his handsome face returned.

However, every single tree within twenty-meter radius was wiped out; now a layer of dust that blanketed the grass.

As he stood in the same spot, Fang Qingyang fell into deep thought re-examining the entire process from beginning until the end, each action flashing through his mind in great detail as he calculated his advantages and losses.

He could not help but shake his head, his martial art was far beyond the two of them but still, Chu Li had managed to escape with Lu Yurong and kill Gu Qi—it was his mistake, when it came down to it, he had undermined Chu Li’s abilities.

He took a deep breath and restored serenity on his handsome face, then picked Gu Qi up and his decapitated head and left in a flash of light.

Chu Li and Lu Yurong showed up in the Ren Public House’s backyard.

Chu Li immediately collapsed, his eyes already shut.

Lu Yurong frantically reached out to support him but got dragged down and fell to the ground.

Both of them fell onto a mat in a gazebo. With Chu Li’s body pressing down on her chest, she spat out a mouthful of blood, further worsening her injuries. She was trapped and unable to move as Chu Li laid atop of her.

Chu Li was already unconscious while Lu Yurong was a breath away from fainting.

“Milady!” Nine maids rushed over and called out anxiously.

Lu Yurong used all her might to take off her face veil, the feeling of a blood-soaked veil especially uncomfortable on her face. She then bit out with much difficulty. “Help him up carefully.”

“This fellow is too despicable, just kill him off!” A pretty maid suggested.

Lu Yurong responded breathlessly, “I’ve no time to argue with you, he saved me… Let him have an Adversity Surpassing Pill!”

“Adversity Surpassing Pill…” The maids hesitated.

Lu Yurong shot them a mean glare. “I see that my words no longer mean anything to you.”

“Yes, milady!” The pretty maid who spoke earlier quickly replied and left, returning with a white jade bottle which she took out two golden pills from, she fed one of them to Lu Yurong while the other went into Chu Li’s mouth.
