Chapter 851: Power

“What do you mean leave!” Yang Ying harrumphed. “No matter how good he is, we’ll definitely win if we team up!”

Chu Li shook his head. “Leave, now!”

“Is he really that good?”

“The Bloody Garment Divine Power is a very crooked method!”

“It’s the crooked method!” Yang Ying started sweating.

She started having cold sweats as she goosebumped at the thought of her turning into a dry corpse the instant she gets attacked by the Bloody Garment Divine Power.

Yang Ying leaped out of the window as she tried to find her master for help.

Chu Li looked at Xu Zhenzong. “Elder Xu, are you the bishop of the Church of the Bloody Garment?”

“You’re indeed knowledgeable.” Xu Zhengzong smiled. “I am the bishop of the Church of the Bloody Garment.”

“Rumor has it that the Church of the Bloody Garment branches off from the Church of the Divine Blood. Does that mean that Elder Xu is the disciple of the Church of the Divine Blood?”

“You’re incredibly knowledgeable!” Xu Zhengzong nodded. “I started off from the Church of the Divine Blood and I’m just a nobody there. I was seen as a joke when I created the Church of the Bloody Garment!”

His aura started boiling up as he spoke. He appeared right in front of Chu Li and slammed the table the instant he finished speaking. His actions were as quick as lightning.

Chu Li jumped out of the window and swung his hand in the middle of the air.

“Bam!” Xu Zhengzong jolted as he took two steps back. An injury appeared on his throat but it merged back swiftly, leaving a red line behind.

Chu Li swung his hand again.

“Bam!” Xu Zhengzong jolted once more as he took two more steps back. His throat was slit open again but it recovered swiftly.

“Bam!” Again, Xu Zhengzong jolted as his injury opened up and merged again.

Chu Li was at the rooftop of another building far away from Nine Star Tower by the time he finished lashing out the three attacks.

Xu Zhengzong shouted as he stood at the window, “Zhao Dahe, how far can you run? How many times can you swing your sword?”

Chu Li stood at the rooftop. “Bishop Xu, can you evade my sword?”

“I can’t, but your sword is not a threat to me. I’ll catch up to you eventually!” Xu Zhengzong said. “Furthermore, you still have three subordinates. If you can’t kill me today, they’ll be dead by tomorrow.”

Chu Li harrumphed. “That depends on Bishop Xu’s skill!”

“You’ll get to know my true strength. Your blood essence is incredibly pure and rare. I really like it. Haha!” Xu Zhengzong was excited as his eyes brimmed with emotion. It was as if he had stumbled upon an incredible dish and that made Chu Li shiver.

Chu Li scoffed. “Come after me if you’ve got the skill!”

He turned around and left.

Xu Zhengzong was like an arrow that was shot from afar. He was marginally quicker than Chu Li, hence he was catching up slowly.

He was slightly higher than Chu Li In terms of their cultivation level. His Light-body Technique was incredible and was on par with the Time Steps.

Chu Li was heading out of the city and entered a forest with just a few steps with the Time Steps after he had gotten out of the city.

Xu Zhengzong chased after him without any hesitation at all.

“Whoosh!” The sound was soft. He tried to evade it but he was too late. The Light Blade was simply too quick.

“Bam!” His body jolted as he stopped at a huge tree.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!” Light Blades came one after another and he could not evade them at all. He had no choice but to shut his eyes, and covered his heart with both of his hands.

Chu Li’s flying blade flew towards Xu Zhengzong’s body but was it was blocked by the latter’s invisible force. What was originally enough to pierce through his body had turned into just breaking the skin and was not enough to truly injure his organs.

He had trained his Bloody Garment Divine Power to a very high level. It was as if he had treasured armor on.

Chu Li shook his head and sighed quietly. It was all because his cultivation level was too low. He had trained his Light Blade to the ninth level which speed was miraculously fast and powerful. However, his Light Blade was still slightly weaker against someone whose cultivation level was higher and had an amazing ability.

If his cultivation level was high enough, the Light Blade would have been able to work even against the amazing Bloody Garment Divine Power and kill the user immediately. He would not have to hit him with so many blades.

“Haha…” Xu Zhengzong laughed. “So this is your flying blade. It’s no different from having an itch. Let’s see just how many blades you’re able to throw out!”

“I’m curious just how many you can receive!” Chu Li said coldly.

He attacked and retreated simultaneously before he decided to focus on retreat.

Xu Zhengzong chased after him hastily.

He was a few hundred meters away as he started his chase. Then, a soft whoosh could be heard and he was stunned by two blade auras that were shot towards him and hit him in the legs.

Chu Li vanished from his sight once again.

Xu Zhengzong scoffed angrily as he started chasing again.

However, he did not dare to be bold this time around since his legs were attacked by the two blade aura. Although he had recovered immediately, he was still slightly affected by it as his speed was reduced.

“Whoosh whoosh!” Another two blade auras were shot out from an unexpected angle, landing on both of his legs once more. It was completely unavoidable.

Xu Zhengzong furiously shouted out loud, “Zhao Dahe, I’ll head back and kill that three disciples of yours if you keep running away from me!”

Chu Li laughed out loud. “Great, go ahead!”

“It sounds like you don’t care about them being alive or not!”

“It’s their own doing whether they live or die. It’s alright if they really die, all I have to do then is to avenge them!”

“Good. I really want to see if you truly care for them at all!” Xu Zhengzong turned around and left.

Chu Li laughed as he went on his way.

Xu Zhengzong immediately turned back and chased after him after he saw his actions.

He was cruel in nature and he felt that Zhao Dahe was the same as him. So be it if his subordinates died. What mattered most was his own life. It would be seeking more trouble if he were to kill the three subordinates and it would not affect Zhao Dahe in any way!

Chu Li stopped out of the blue and dispersed his inner energy. He started casting the thirty-six energy-nurturing forms as he jumped down from the giant tree.

Unfortunately, he was not at Spirit Cranes Peak. The First Form of the Universe’s miraculous blade energy was so minute that the blade energy that he could gather under the first form was insignificant.

Xu Zhengzong caught up to him after casting the first form. He stood nearby as he looked at Chu Li suspiciously.

Chu Li spoke lazily as he performed the thirty-six forms. “I’m currently preparing an incredibly powerful martial art. You’ll get to see it if you’re willing to wait a little bit longer!”

“Hmpf, you’re gaslighting!” Xu Zhengzong smiled coldly.

He charged in without any hesitation. He did not give Chu Li the chance to show off as he was wary of him.

Chu Li was helpless as he had managed to gather a little bit of blade energy for the First Form of the Universe in his Dantian. Hence, he made use of the heart technique from the third level of Light Blade to transfer the First Form of the Universe’s blade energy into the flying blade.

Although the Light Blade was stronger at the higher level, all he had currently in his body was his blade energy. He could not manifest any other form of energy and hence, he was not able to use it at a higher level.

“Whoosh!” The flying blade flashed.

“Ugh…” Xu Zhengzong looked down in disbelief.

The flying blade had pierced through his body, above his Dantian and he could clearly see a hole there.

As Chu Li had exhausted all of his blade energy in his Dantian, that blade was his only shot. Hence, he immediately turned to the Divine Light Technique to activate the ninth level of the Light Blade and threw out his blades.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!” A series of blade auras landed on Xu Zhengzong’s throat, eyes, heart, and Dantian.

Xu Zhengzong was helpless against it. The Bloody Garment Divine Power lost its effect as the blade auras pierced through his body, harming all of his organs. He gradually fell to the ground and turned into a dry corpse in a blink of an eye.

One of Chu Li’s attacks pierced through his blood core. No matter how advanced his Bloody Garment Divine Power was, the blood core was vital and his martial art had been crippled the instant it was damaged.

Chu Li let out a long sigh of relief as the First Form of the Universe was indeed powerful. It seemed that the Tian Luo Sect did not know the true power of this blade technique. In fact, they did not seem to believe that Chu Li was able to learn it.

The sound of the shirt flapping could be heard as Bai Feng who was in white attire and a white veil glided over. She looked at the corpse on the ground and asked, “Is this Xu Zhengzong?”

“It’s him,” Chu Li responded slowly.
