Chapter 1007: Recruitment

Chu Li sprayed a mouthful of blood in the air and was at a loss for words.

They had been wearing Mind Protection Jade Pendants!

The Mind Protection Jade Pendant could restrain the powers of Tian Luo Sect’s antique study. Since Chu Li possessed a strong and domineering spiritual force, the power of his Stupefying Howl was quite formidable too. Nonetheless, it could not overcome the effects of the Mind Protection Jade Pendant.

No martial arts in the world was invincible. There would always be a way to restrain each type of martial arts. Just as how a treasured armor could reduce the damage caused by a flying blade, the Mind Protection Jade Pendant could be used to restrain the power of Stupefying Howl.

However, Mind Protection Jade Pendants were extraordinarily valuable. They were more valuable and rarer than treasured armors.

After performing those two rounds of Stupefying Howl, his situation had gotten worse instead of improving. They had been deliberately preserving their inner energy to launch those White Tiger Killing Skill attacks, so the force they had produced was twice as destructive as before and had caused him to suffer severe injuries.

“Bang, bang, bang…” They performed White Tiger Killing Skill again and formed four exceptionally agile tiger silhouettes that went around the trees and crashed into Chu Li.

Chu Li could not avoid them completely and was sent flying away once more.

Two of the old men had performed their secret skills, so their white tiger silhouettes had been remarkably fast and incredibly destructive. After enduring the attacks, he became seriously injured and his condition affected his channeling. His vital organs began to hurt very badly.

He nearly could not resist the urge to use his God’s Limbs. Nonetheless, he did not dare to perform it so carelessly.

He gritted his teeth and activated Secret Technique of Great Light. His speed increased abruptly but he still failed to get away from the four elderly men. He was left with no other choice but to glide up to the top of a tall and rugged mountain. In the blink of an eye, the five of them had reached the summit of the mountain and arrived at the edge of a precipice.

Below this precipice was a deep and quiet ravine. At a glance, Chu Li could only find an endless stretch of white fog. Despite his excellent eyesight, he was unable to see the bottom of the ravine. At present, he was standing on a rock on the summit while staring at the four men with a cold smile.

The four old men gradually approached him in a fan-shaped formation.

Chu Li scoffed and said, “You guys are vicious indeed. Your sect sent out four hidden masters in one go. It seems that you’re intent on killing me.”

“You’ve learned something you shouldn’t have learned!” an old beggar replied gravely. “How dare you learn the martial art of White Tiger Sect without permission.”

Chu Li retorted, “The martial art of White Tiger Sect isn’t exactly impressive anyway. So what if I’ve learned it!”

“The White Tiger Power is the foundation of White Tiger Sect. You’re seeking your death if you wish to learn it!” It was impossible to discern the old beggar’s actual facial features due to his uncombed hair and dirty face. The old beggar shook his head and said, “Isn’t your Saint more capable than you? Why hasn’t she tried to learn our White Tiger Power?”

Chu Li shook his head and replied, “That’s because the Saint doesn’t feel like learning it.”

“Humph, it’s because Sun Mingyue knows that if she learned our White Tiger Power without permission, both our sects would fight each other to the end!” the old beggar said and huffed. “The Holy Church of Light may be powerful, but White Tiger Sect isn’t to be trifled with either!”

“Give me a break,” Chu Li muttered and curled his lip in disdain. “Just look at what has become of your White Tiger Power!”

His words caused a slight change in their expressions.

They had noticed something different about Chu Li’s White Tiger Power. While it was not refined enough, his White Tiger Power was much more lethal than theirs.

Most importantly, he had been cultivating it for only a few days. Clearly, he had found the correct way to cultivate it, and this was precisely what White Tiger Sect had been seeking to do all this while.

“Zhao Dahe, you’ve understood the White Tiger Power?” the old beggar asked calmly.

Chu Li replied, “It wasn’t difficult at all. For me, it was a piece of cake!”

“Would you be willing to join White Tiger Sect?” the old beggar asked with a huff. “We can grant you the position of elder. This arrangement is better than you remaining in the Holy Church of Light! … You seem to be in an awkward position within the Holy Church of Light. You’re an annoyance to the Saint and an outcast among the disciples. You’re on your own there. If you join White Tiger Sect, this will never happen to you. Our sect will value you greatly!”

“That’s not necessary!” Chu Li replied and shook his head. “White Tiger Sect can go to hell. You guys can’t protect me anyway. The Holy Church of Light will never let a traitorous disciple off the hook!”

“You can enter our mountain and live in seclusion,” the old beggar calmly suggested. “No matter how powerful the Holy Church of Light is, they won’t be able to invade the White Tiger Peak!”

“I’d rather die than spend the rest of my life staying at the White Tiger Peak!” Chu Li muttered while shaking his head. “I don’t wish to live in seclusion just yet.”

“Well then, you’ll have to die today!” the old beggar replied coldly.

Chu Li smirked. “What’s the big deal about dying? Nevertheless, you guys are not capable of killing me!”

“Fine!” The old beggar huffed. “Since you wish to remain loyal to the Holy Church of Light, you have to die!”

The four of them each placed a hand on the shoulder of the person next to them and thrust out their other hand.

All of their palm energy came together and formed a mighty force that surged toward Chu Li like a towering wave, leaving him with no place to hide.

“Bam!” Chu Li was instantly thrown off the summit of the mountain like a rubber ball being bounced off a steep cliff. Thus, he fell into the bottomless ravine.

Chu Li never expected their last attack to be so powerful. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and suffered more severe injuries. Since he had been injured quite a few times before this, he could no longer withstand the magnitude of their attack despite having a tough body. Black spots began to appear in his vision as he continued to fall.

His four opponents jumped off the cliff and dove down together with him.

While they were still in mid-air, they produced four white tiger silhouettes, which shot toward Chu Li.

This time, there was nothing blocking their path. As black spots clouded his vision, Chu Li was unable to ward off the attack even though he knew that he should be dodging the tiger silhouettes.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang…” The tiger silhouettes hit him consecutively.

If he had not been wearing the floating silkworm treasured clothing, he would have died by now.

Nonetheless, although he had the floating silkworm treasured clothing, he still suffered serious injuries. There were numerous times when he could not help thinking of using his God’s Limbs, but since they were right behind him, he could not bring himself to use this divine power. Thus, he had to keep pushing himself to circulate Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture instead.

Their inner energy was too refined so it took a long time for Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture to convert their inner energy. If his cultivation level in Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture had been higher, it would be very difficult for their inner energy to harm him. Unfortunately, he had not yet gained a deep and profound understanding of Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. Therefore, the only thing he could do was to forcefully try to convert a small part of their inner energy.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang…” They would not stop attacking Chu Li and were now aiming to end Chu Li’s life once and for all.

Chu Li had no other choice but to activate Life and Death Scripture. He let a boundless surge of spiritual energy to enter his body and nourish it while healing his injuries. If he did not do so, he might really lose his life soon.

He suddenly turned around to face the sky and thrust both his hands forward.

Energy blades continuously shot out from his hands.

His four opponents instantly became flustered since they had been too close to him and focused on thinking of ways to kill Chu Li. They did not expect Chu Li would turn around and attack them.

“Tsh, tsh, tsh, tsh…” There seemed to be no end to his attack as Chu Li kept firing energy blades at them and forced them into a defensive position. Now, they could only wave their fists around to block his energy blades.

“Splash!” Chu Li fell into a deep pond and then leaped out of the water abruptly before dashing into a nearby forest.

“Splash, splash, splash, splash!” The four elderly men fell into the deep pond as well. By the time they made their way out of the pond, Chu Li was already nowhere in sight.

“Keep chasing him. He must have entered the forest!” The four of them went into the forest again.

Their tracking technique was extremely brilliant. In the next two days, they remained hot on his trail while Chu Li tried his best to escape back to the Great Light Peak.

The four men knew that once Chu Li managed to return to the Great Light Peak, they would not be able to hunt him down anymore. Therefore, they activated their secret skill and kept attacking him until he spat out blood. Nonetheless, because of his strong and durable body, Chu Li managed to hold himself together and persevere on his journey as he continued to escape.

That evening, just as the sun was setting in the west, Chu Li carried on running away in a forest with the four men pursuing closely behind him.

Chu Li’s clothing had become tattered, like the clothes of a beggar, while his complexion was as pale as a blank sheet of paper. His breathing was labored but his body movement technique was still extremely fast. The four men behind him were in roughly the same shape. They were all exhausted. No matter how much physical strength they had, they had been chasing after Chu Li for three days without stopping to sleep or rest after all. Their faces had turned pale after the prolonged pursuit.

Then, Chu Li suddenly stopped dead in his tracks, threw his head back, and laughed heartily. “Haha…”
