Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Liang Yinge’s handsome face looked as though it was covered in a thin layer of frost as he appeared behind Sun Yucheng in a flash and launched a fist.

Sun Yucheng turned his body sideways again to dodge his fist attack.

“This is starting to get interesting!” Liang Yinge laughed while he shook his head upon realizing that he had underestimated this prince. Initially, Liang Yinge had thought that this prince would be an idiot who would die a quick death after he had launched his first attack.

Chu Li suddenly appeared in front of Liang Yinge and swung his hands forward.

“Tsh, tsh!” Two flying blades flew out with a sharp whistling sound and instantly reached Liang Yinge.

However, the flying blades continued to wheeze through the air smoothly and it ended up slicing through Liang Yinge’s shadow instead. At that moment, Liang Yinge had appeared in front of Sun Yucheng and was in the midst of throwing out a fist.

Sun Yucheng dodged his fist attack once again.

The two grey-robed elderly men charged toward Sun Yucheng while they thrusting out their palms. Their palm energy flew toward him soundlessly; it was remarkably refined and as hard as a rock.

Sun Yucheng performed a superb body movement technique so that he could flash around and avoid their palm energy just in time. His hair was already a disheveled mess, which made him a pitiful sight.

Liang Yinge and the two grey-robed elderly men paid no attention to Chu Li. Instead, they were trying their best to kill Sun Yucheng as soon as possible.

Chu Li frowned. Out of all the people he had met before, Liang Yinge had the fastest and most profound body movement technique. He could not believe that Liang Yinge had actually managed to avoid the Light Blade.

However, while Liang Yinge was capable of dodging his attacks, the two elderly men might not be able to do so. Thus, Chu Li abruptly appeared behind the two grey-robed elderly men and flicked his wrists. Two energy blades shot out in a sharp whistling noise.

The grey-robed elderly men had witnessed how effortlessly Liang Yinge had managed to avoid the Light Blade and thought that they could deal with it easily too. However, they did not expect the Light Blade to be so fast.

Just as the elderly men thought of dodging the blades, they were hit.

Their bodies flashed around in the air at a ghostly speed as the elderly men desperately relied on their deep and profound cultivation level to perform their light-body techniques. In the end, they had managed to avoid getting hit on their vital spots and suffered a shoulder injury instead. Blood started to gush from their blade wounds.

By the time the elderly men sealed off their acupuncture points, they had moved away from Chu Li and appeared in front of Sun Yucheng to press on with their palm attacks.

Sun Yucheng’s body movement technique might have been marvellous and unpredictable, but he was unable to defend himself against a joint attack by his three opponents.

“Bang!” He was sent flying away after he received a palm attack on the chest from Liang Yinge.

Chu Li knitted his brows together. He then abruptly appeared in mid-air before grabbing hold of Sun Yucheng and speeding away through the air.

Liang Yinge and the two elderly men remained in close pursuit of them.

Meanwhile, Elder Su and Elder Ren had crashed heavily to the ground — they were severely injured. Both of them had a mixture of emotions on their faces.

Seeing as no one was paying any attention to them at that point,they had become a nuisance. Elder Su and Elder Ren did not know whether they should rejoice or feel sad over this.

Chu Li moved at lightning speed, pulling Sun Yucheng along as he glided ahead like a streak of shadow. They were moving so fast that Sun Yucheng could hardly get a clear view of his surroundings as everything before his eyes was a blur.

Liang Yinge and the two elderly men kept pursuing them but could not catch up to them just yet.

Sun Yucheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He could feel his body becoming limp and heavy like a rock as he was unable to perform his light-body technique any longer.

Chu Li turned his head and asked, “Are you okay?”

“Well, I’m still alive.” Sun Yucheng took out a medicine bottle from his inner pocket and pulled off the cork before he poured the bottle’s content directly into his mouth. Then, he muttered, “It seems like we really won’t be able to escape today!”

Chu Li replied, “We still have a slim chance of survival.”

Sun Yucheng exhaled sharply and said, “I have one more killer mace we can use.”

Chu Li looked at him and wondered just how much longer Sun Yucheng could wait to play his final trump card.

Sun Yucheng might seem like a simple-minded person but he was, in fact, a formidable figure who was extremely patient.

The prince’s feet were off the ground, so it appeared as though he was moving with the wind. Chu Li had absorbed all the spiritual energy within his three-mile radius and transformed it into his inner energy so that he could continue to perform his light-body technique as he glided ahead while he pulled Sun Yucheng along with one hand.

At that moment, Chu Li still refused to use his Heavenly Demonic Power and God’s Limbs.

Sun Yucheng said, “I’ve brought along a rare treasure from my imperial father. It can be used to launch an attack that’s comparable to a blow from an Enlightened Master!”

Chu Li was astonished and asked, “Why haven’t you used it then?”

“I can only use this to kill one person,” Sun Yucheng replied. “We still have two more to deal with after killing one of them.”

“I can handle the remaining two!” Chu Li said immediately.

Sun Yucheng gritted his teeth and replied, “Well then, let’s use it!”

Chu Li reduced his speed.

It would be great if he could make use of Sun Yucheng to get rid of Liang Yinge. Seeing as Liang Yinge’s cultivation level was on par with his, Chu Li believed that Liang Yinge had probably received many fortuitous encounters and was a talented genius at cultivation.

Indeed, Chu Li could not be the only cultivation genius who had great fortune in the entire world.

This formidable figure was the pavilion master of Mysterious Pavilion. Once he was dead, Mysterious Pavilion would lose their backbone. Thus, it would be much easier for Chu Li to deal with them later on. Surely, Liang Yinge should be the mastermind behind Consort Ping’s assassination, so King Ping would probably let go of his bitterness to a large extent if Liang Yinge was dead.

Liang Yinge stared intently at Chu Li and Sun Yucheng while he chased after them. However, he decided not to get too close to them.

He had a faint feeling that Sun Yucheng had become very dangerous and that he should keep his distance from the both of them.

Liang Yinge sighed. Was it impossible to kill this prince after all?

As the pavilion master of Mysterious Pavilion, he was a trusted subordinate of the Zheng Dynasty’s Emperor and knew many secrets of the imperial family. Therefore, Liang Yinge was aware that most princes always carried rare treasures with formidable power on them so that they could turn things around during crucial moments and get away from the most dangerous situations.

Such rare treasures were usually used to either attack or escape from their enemies. It would contain unfathomable power that was inferior to that of an Enlightened Master.

Previously, Liang Yinge had desperately wanted to kill Sun Yucheng within the shortest amount of time precisely because he was worried that this prince from the Li Dynasty might possess such a rare treasure. Thus, he hoped to kill Sun Yucheng before his target could use a rare treasure. Unfortunately, that ugly-looking guy had messed up his perfect plan.

Chu Li could feel the hair all over his body standing on end as he studied the white jade ring on Sun Yucheng’s hand.

After Sun Yucheng had smeared his blood on it, this ordinary-looking ring suddenly emitted such a powerful aura that Chu Li felt as though he was in the presence of an Enlightened Master who could destroy him at any moment.

Chu Li knew about the existence of such items too. Back then, he had quickly killed King An with a single slash of his blade and had not given King An any time to react. This was because he was worried that King An might possess some rare treasure like this one as well.

Nonetheless, no matter how powerful an item was, it would be no different than a piece of junk if there was no opportunity for its power to unleash.

Since Sun Yucheng had activated his rare treasure, Liang Yinge would certainly die or be severely injured if he inched closer and suffered a blow from the treasure. When that happened, Chu Li would have the chance to kill him.

Chu Li suddenly turned around and charged toward Liang Yinge as well as the two grey-robed elderly men.

Sun Yucheng was taken aback. “Brother Zhao!”

Chu Li said, “Let’s go and rescue Elder Su and Elder Ren!”

He could tell that Liang Yinge was going to give up on pursuing them. Instead, he was thinking of turning back to kill Elder Su and Elder Ren.

There was not much distance between the five of them since Liang Yinge and his men were still pressing forward in their pursuit. Meanwhile, Chu Li was charging toward them along with Sun Yucheng. Both parties were about to reach one another within the blink of an eye.

“Let’s leave!” Liang Yinge shouted and made a right turn before he charged away.

The other two elderly men showed great teamwork with him as they were able to sense the incoming danger based on their many years of experience. There was a chill in their hearts when they swiftly made a left turn and sped away to get out of Chu Li’s path.

Chu Li disappeared from their sight like a gust of wind.

Sun Yucheng tugged at Chu Li’s sleeve and opened his mouth to speak.

Chu Li hurriedly shook his head and said, “Don’t speak for now.”

He glanced behind his shoulder and shook his head again while he muttered, “Just don’t say anything.”

Sun Yucheng closed his mouth in resignation and remained silent. However, he secretly felt anxious.

If he did not use the rare treasure within fifteen minutes after having smeared it with blood, it would lose its power and become an ordinary item.

Thus, if they did not take this opportunity to get away, they would lose their last chance to escape once fifteen minutes had passed. This would mean that they would have to die here.

Chu Li soon arrived at the place where Elder Su and Elder Ren were and found them sitting cross-legged while channeling. He then said anxiously, “Elder Su, Elder Ren, we have to leave now!”

When the two elders opened their eyes and saw Chu Li and Sun Yucheng standing in front of them, they became confused. Hence, they asked, “You’ve killed that guy with the surname Liang?”

Chu Li shook his head and replied, “We don’t have to fear them right now. Let’s go.”

Liang Yinge stood on a treetop some distance away as he said calmly, “Indeed, you deserve to be called a prince!”

“Liang Yinge, do you still dare to come close to us?” Sun Yucheng asked with a cold laugh.

A lighthearted grin appeared on Liang Yinge’s face. “I wish you a smooth journey, Your Royal Highness. I’m afraid I can’t see you off this time. You have to come and visit Mysterious Pavilion the next time you come to the Zheng Dynasty.”

“Humph!” Sun Yucheng did not feel like engaging Liang Yinge in idle chatter.

He felt somewhat worried because he was not sure if Liang Yinge knew about the secret of his rare treasure. Since Liang Yinge was the pavilion master of Mysterious Pavilion, he might be aware of this secret after all!

Chu Li asked, “Elder Su, Elder Ren, will you be able to hurry on with our journey?”

“No problem.” Both of them rose to their feet.

“Well then, let’s go,” Chu Li said.

He glanced at Liang Yinge. “Pavilion Master Liang, we’ll certainly meet again!”

“I look forward to that. Forgive me for not being able to see you off,” Liang Yinge replied with a chuckle.

He seemed like a friend to Chu Li. It was as though their intense battle earlier had never happened.
