Chapter 501: 501
Chu Li was now being surrounded by two men, but he continued to cast the Shura Palm leisurely .
The Shura Palm itself was an impressive technique that gave its user many features . Sometimes when he pressed his palm out, his body movements became faster like a flash of a shadow . Other times his movements would slow down instead .
The sudden change of speed was enough to confuse their opponents until they were at loss as to what to do .
He was like a phantom as he drifted between the two of them . He advanced and retreated with great speed and at his own will .
The two men were firing up the essence of their blood . That caused their senses to be heightened . Chu Li had difficulty in striking them . In a blink of an eye, he had launched fifty eights palms but none of them managed to hit them . The closest he got was only when their palm energies collided .
Chu Li suddenly frowned . Someone else was approaching!
He groaned . Chu Li could not cultivate the Shura Palm anymore . Instead, he activated the Imminent Skyline and appeared instantaneously behind the handsome man . His pressed his palm down as quick as lightning, not giving the man a chance to dodge the attack .
'Bam!' The handsome man was flung away .
Chu Li dashed towards the stout man .
The stout man was stunned at how nimble he was . He stretched his palm out to block Chu Li's attack . Both of their palms collided as a result .
'Bam!' Chu Li took a step back while a stream of light shot out from his left hand .
"Uh…" The blade had already sliced into his heart just when the man became aware of what was going on .
"Elder He!" The stout man yelled in a hoarse voice .
The expression of the youth dressed in a shirt sunk . He said coldly, "Well! Well! Very well, the Holy Church of Light will never stop until we eliminate the entire Secret Guardians Hall!"
Lu Yurong was calm and collected . "Ridiculous!" she spat .
Chu Li appeared right behind the stout man once again and slammed him with his palm .
The stout man had already prepared for the attack . He pushed his elbows out .
Chu Li moved in a flash and reappeared at his left side .
The stout man pushed his elbows out once again .
The strike from his elbow was a unique skill . It was powerful and overbearing .
Chu Li knew about its power, so he did not counter it . After dodging the attack two times, he threw out a flying blade .
"Humph!" The stout man was struck at the chest . Nonetheless, he continued to charge towards Chu Li and paid no heed to his injury .
When he was close enough, he opened his mouth and an icy lightning bolt shot out .
Chu Li titled his head and dodged it easily .
Nevertheless, that trick was tough to defend against . No less than ten over masters had died from that same exact attack .
As Chu Li dodged the attack, he threw another blade .
"Ah…" The stout man roared with a flushed face . He charged towards Chu Li with quicker speed .
However, Chu Li disappeared in a flash and all he had hit was the empty air . Another flying blade shot through the stout man's heart .
The man stumbled back a few steps and then fell to the ground with a grunt .
"Who exactly are you people!" the teenager yelled .
He did not expect that the two top-notch masters would be so vulnerable as to perish this easily . Moreover, they were defeated by such young opponents . This whole thing turned out differently from what he had thought earlier .
Chu Li glanced at him and then said in a raucous voice, "Let's leave!"
He approached Lu Yurong and grabbed her wrist .
Lu Yurong wanted to avoid him, but his grip on her was so tight that she had no chance of escaping .
"Where do you think you're going?!" the teenager scoffed and chased after them with his Light-body Technique .
Lu Yurong removed her secret technique and said faintly, "What's the matter?"
Although she had removed her secret technique, her mind was still within the secret technique . Thus, all creations in the world were still reflected in her mind while everything else seemed fabricated and made up .
Chu Li replied, "Their back-up has arrived . "
"They have powerful Martial Art?"
"Even better than that guy!" Chu Li stole a glance behind him .
The teenager wore a dreadful expression and was following them behind closely behind . The distance between them drew closer bit by bit .

"The Holy Church of Light indeed has a lot of talented people!"
Lu Yurong believed that if another fellow like him is present, she would certainly not be able to exert herself .
Chu Li said, "Two more have arrived . "
"Oh, I'm unable to conduct a technique . "
"How long do you need to recover?"
"About half an hour . "
"Alright, I'll stall them . "
The two of them continued their discussion while they escaped . Soon enough, two elders in grey clothing showed up beside the teenager . Now three top-notch masters were pursuing them .
"Why don't we just return?" Lu Yurong spared a glance at the three men behind them .
The two elders and the teenager would surely band together . She could not activate any moves and that had made her a burden . Therefore, Chu Li's best idea was to return using his divine powers
Chu Li shook his head and said, "We should kill as many as we can . "
"Send me away first, then go after them . " Lu Yurong said .
Chu Li shook his head .
Lu Yurong only needed half an hour, and stalling for half an hour would not be a problem for Chu Li .
They could not just leave yet .
If he wanted to delay the three of them, he would have to bring Lu Yurong along and let the three men continue to chase them . The biggest advantage he had was his boundless inner energy .
No matter how profound the three men's cultivation levels were, they would not be a match for the depth of his inner energy . It was a perfect time to fully utilize this advantage . For all he knew, he might be able to eliminate them all .
Every kill of a top-notch master counts, as it would cause huge damage towards the strength of the Holy Church of Light . Hence, the revenge he might get from them would be weaker in the future .
Spiritual energy from all directions began to gush in and was transformed into inner energy that flowed freely within his body .
He channeled his inner energy from the Shura Palm into Lu Yurong's body . It was extremely cold and full of Yin energy which was similar to the inner energy of Lu Yurong's Empyrean Fairy Power .
Lu Yurong looked at him with astonishment . She was surprised she did not feel the urge to expel the inner energy at all .

Chu Li said, "Can you recover before half an hour?"
"No problem!" Lu Yurong scoffed . "You're actually smart!"
Chu Li smiled at her as a response .
He ran ahead . The three men chased after them .
They could tell Lu Yurong was vulnerable after she had activated her secret technique . This was the perfect time to eliminate her . They also noticed that Chu Li's speed was getting slower . That made them chased after them more vigorously .
Chu Li kept providing a steady flow of inner energy in order to aid Lu Yurong in her recovery .
He suddenly swung his hand and a flying blade shot out .
A stream of light shot past them, and the teenager and the elders dodged it easily .
Looking at how Chu Li was behaving, they were sure that he was starting to get nervous . They assumed it was most probably because he was short of inner energy . They started to chase after them much more eagerly than before .
Chu Li did not say a word . He was entirely absorbed in running onwards . He ran from one mountain to another by sticking to the treetops .
The three men behind them chased after them confidently with huge smiles on their faces .
Since Chu Li had brought another person along with him, it was impossible that his Light-body Technique would not get affected . The longer the time, the more he was affected . It was like carrying a person on his back as he walked . He would feel nothing initially, but it would become heavier as time passed .
They wanted to deplete Chu Li completely of inner energy . Then, they would capture the both of them alive without having to risk their lives going into battle with them . They would bring them back to the Li Dynasty . They must be tortured for two days before they could die because they had killed two disciples from the Holy Church of Light .
While both sides were having different thoughts, they had the same goal of wanting to exhaust each other's energy .
Half an hour later, Lu Yurong said softly, "I'm done!"
Chu Li nodded without saying a word .
Lu Yurong looked at the three men following them right on their heels . She pursed her lips and laughed . She understood what Chu Li was thinking, and so she did not say anything else .
Another half an hour later, Chu Li's body movement grew slower . The three men behind them slowed down as well . Even though they were determined to catch up to them, they lacked the power to do so .
After an hour, Chu Li became even slower than before . His speed was equivalent to the speed of an Acquired Master .
An hour and a half later, Chu Li pulled Lu Yurong to jog on the main road . They were only slightly faster than a normal person .
The three men behind them were already drenched in sweat . Their faces were pale .

Since they had already come this far, it was only a matter of perseverance . None of them wanted to give up . Their decisions to catch up and kill them grew firmer and was unshakeable .
The bright moon hung in the night sky and spilled its light all over the place .
However, the dimming light meant nothing to them . It caused little to no effect on them .
Chu Li suddenly smiled as he turned around and said, "Kill them all!"
"Alright!" Lu Yurong scoffed .
She was astonished at how profound Chu Li's inner energy was . It was simply endless .
The two of them pounced backwards . Their movements were swift like ghosts as they arrived before the three men .
Chu Li flung out both his left and right hand at the same time .
"Tss! Tss!" Two streams of light shot into the chests of the two elders respectively .
The two elders tried to move sideways to avoid getting struck in the heart .
Another two streams of light shot towards them again . They had no way to dodge the attack anymore . Their hearts were instantly struck through . The flying blades that were stained with blood dropped down behind them .
"Uh…" The two elders stared at him in disbelief .
They were top-notch masters with extraordinary identities . They had thought that they were able to capture him easily just like how a golden eagle captured rabbits . They did not expect for once that the rabbit would transform into a ferocious beast!
"Ah…" The teenager in a shirt roared furiously . His face turned fierce and said, "The Holy Church of Light will destroy you for sure!"
He realized that the three of them had been fooled .
Chu Li grinned as he slammed his palm down . Lu Yurong slammed her palm down at the same time as well .
The teenager took the hit with each of his palms respectively .
"Bam!" He instantly flung away from the impact .
A flying blade turned into a stream of light and went after the teenager with a flick of Chu Li's wrist . It shot right through the middle of his eyebrows .
"How many flying blades do you actually have?" Lu Yurong exhaled a breath of relief as she turned around and asked .
Chu Li chuckled . Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed . He pounced towards Lu Yurong abruptly .
"Tss!" A dash of light glinted from a sword and sliced through Chu Li's right shoulder .
