White-Robed Chief

“Sect Leader, Zhe Ying has bloomed and we can no longer control him. Besides, this is very important as it’s related to the wonders of the Heavenly Demonic Power and the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique, as well as the sect’s foundation. We had to interrupt you, Sect Leader!” Feeling helpless, Elder Du sighed. “We heard that he’s already at the peak of the eighth level and he will possibly advance to the ninth level. If we send more men to him, he will only grow stronger and he might even surpass us.”

“Zhe Ying…” The middle-aged man in a green robe pondered.

Elder Du added, “He’s Zhe Hua’s son.”

“Where’s Zhe Hua?”

“15 years ago, a few of our disciples were encircled by a few major sects. In order to protect us, he and his wife stayed behind to cover us, but they both died.” Elder Du smiled bitterly. “We’re ashamed for not raising his son well, which has led us to this situation now.”

“You’ve pampered him too much!” The middle-aged man in a green robe scoffed. “Alright, it’s pointless to speak of these now. Bring Yu Xuanshi and Jiang Ziwen to me, I’d like to sense their forces.”

“Yes.” Elder Bai quickly left to deliver the message.

Soon enough, when Yu Xuanshi and Jiang Ziwen arrived, they greeted the sect leader with fist salutes. “Greetings, Sect Leader!”

When the middle-aged man glanced at them, he shook his head.

The fact that Level Eight Masters have ended up in such a state was truly depressing.

Nonetheless, this was the martial art world. They should be the ones who are blamed for having incompetent martial art skills. At the very least, they had survived, so all they needed was to cultivate again.

After sensing their forces with his hands, the middle-aged man hit their precordium with his palm.

Instantly, their Heavenly Demonic Orb absorbed his palm energy.

In no time, their Heavenly Demonic Orb had shrunken from the size of a basketball to the size of a fist. Consequently, they had advanced three levels, which was considered exceptional progress. However, this was all due to the rich fist force of Fu Qingya, the sect leader of Heavenly Demonic Sect.

Fu Qingya instructed, “The four of you should help them too, to allow them to regain their cultivation levels as soon as possible. Then, they won’t be restrained by their inner states if they cultivate again. It’ll be very fast!”

“Yes.” Elder Bai and the other elders obeyed his instructions.

Fu Qingya then mentioned, “I’ll bring Zhe Ying back.”

“Sect Leader, are you going to execute him?” Elder Du quickly asked.

Fu Qingya replied, “He did not harm the lives of the disciples in our sect. Although he did violate what was forbidden, he didn’t commit a crime where he deserves death, so he’ll be exempted from death. Nonetheless, he’ll be punished!”

“That’s good news…” The others were relieved.

Fu Qingya smiled before it vanished.

As the others knew how magnificent his Great Freedom Technique was, they could not help but admire. If only they had similar Light-body Technique and cultivation level, Zhe Ying would not have been able to behave so presumptuously.

…

All of a sudden, Chu Li tensed up as he was suddenly warned. He immediately shifted sideways to avoid the palm that was attacking him from behind before he launched his fist without turning around; everything was happening at lightning speed.

Now, he had become faster than before. His fists formed a chain of fist shadows that attacked the middle-aged man in a green robe who appeared out of nowhere. The man was Fu Qingya, the sect leader of Heavenly Demonic Sect.

“Bam!” Fu Qingya took in his attack, but his body remained stable.

On the other hand, Chu Li’s body flew backward. He could feel enormous energy gushing into his body and made its way into his organs. Like a knife, the energy slashed his organs into pieces.

As soon as he saw the middle-aged man, he knew that things were off. It was Fu Qingya, the sect leader of Heavenly Demonic Sect!

To his surprise, Fu Qingya came for him sooner than expected.

At once, he wanted to use his divine powers to escape as it was best to avoid a figure like him. He could care less about exposing God’s Limbs as he would rather not be captured.

However, the moment he activated God’s Limbs, he realized he was being restrained by an invisible force and he could not leave.

“Tss, tss, tss, tss!” Next, he let out multiple blade energies to obstruct Fu Qingya from getting closer to him.

Following that, Fu Qingya disappeared but quickly appeared behind Chu Li again.

As if he had already expected this, Chu Li shot two blades at him.

Without changing his body form, Fu Qingya flashed and hit Chu Li’s back with his fist.

Accordingly, Chu Li flew up into the air where he spat out some blood before he crashed through the window and landed on the street.

He furrowed his brows. Evidently, Fu Qingya’s body technique had advanced so much that it was almost on par with God’s Limbs. More importantly, he had performed a secret technique that had allowed him to restrict space and stopped Chu Li from using God’s Limbs to escape.

It seemed like the Heavenly Demonic Power had many more secret techniques in which Chu Li was eager to learn.

Through the Omniscient Mirror, everything was visible to him.

Fu Qingya’s body was letting out a strange aura that seemed like a dense fog as well as an elaborate spread of seawater. Whatever it was, it formed a swirl that enveloped Chu Li’s body.

In this area, Fu Qingya’s body broke through true and false, so much so that he could interchange between both with just a snap of his fingers. Even when the flying blades had hit him, it was useless as they had only hit his shadow.

When Chu Li wanted to activate his secret technique, his Heavenly Demonic Orb did not respond to him. In that moment of desperation, he was about to activate the secret technique of his Divine Light Technique but he was hit by the middle-aged man again.

Chu Li could see the middle-aged man’s movements very clearly and he knew how he could avoid him. He could very well perform Nature Restoration Manifestation too but he lacked the power to do so. Surrounded by the invisible aura, he felt as if he had fallen into mud, where his movements became slower than usual and he could not act in parallel with his thoughts. On this account, he could only watch the middle-aged man attack him.

Following that, Fu Qingya’s body technique became faster. Moreover, the force from him was so odd that it drilled itself into Chu Li’s body, destroying him uncontrollably. At that moment, Chu Li felt as if his inner energy had frozen as he became very slow.

“Bam, bam, bam, bam…” With that, Chu Li suffered quite a number of hits. Even when he tried to fly into the air, he could not fly out of Fu Tianya’s aura that surrounded him.

Soon, Chu Li felt that his organs were about to shatter. If it was not for his extremely tough body, he would have already been killed.

“Pa, pa, pa…” Suddenly, the middle-aged man in the green robe cast a number of hits with his palm onto Chu Li’s body before he shot nine acupuncture needles into it. Then, along with Chu Li’s stiff body, he disappeared.

The two of them exited through the window but vanished before they could land on the ground.

While the process seemed long, it happened in the blink of an eye. Before the people around them could take a good look at the situation, they were already gone. If it was not for the shattered window pieces on the streets, they would not have realized that something had happened.

Chu Li could feel that everything was blurring before him, which was very similar to when he activated God’s Limbs. He smiled bitterly to himself as he thought he could showcase his abilities to Fu Qingya.

However, the most terrifying thing about Fu Qingwa was his aura. In his aura, there was simply no way one could hit him. Instead, one would be restrained and weakened, thus ending up like Chu Li!

Though the Omniscient Mirror still worked, Chu Li could not look into Fu Qingya’s mind as everything appeared blur to him.

Theoretically, Chu Li was not guilty of a crime where he deserved death. After all, he did not kill anyone as all he did was steal martial art skills.

With that being said, he did not know if the sect leader would punish him to warn the others, or hold back the cultivations for the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique and kill him in front of the others.

If his head was chopped off, the Life and Death Scripture would be useless. He wondered, ‘Am I really going to die in Heavenly Demonic Sect?’

As his heart continued to sink, he tried his best to think of ways to escape.

For the time being, he was not at a dead-end because his mind was still awake. As long as his mind was still awake, he could still use his divine powers. Since he could not use God’s Limbs when the sect leader of Heavenly Demonic Sect was around, once the sect leader leaves, he would have the chance to escape.

As soon as that thought came to mind, his head hurt so badly that he fainted.
