Chapter 502: 502
Chu Li dragged Lu Yurong to the side of the route about a meter away . He then leaned against a sturdy pine tree and looked down to his shoulder .
A long gash was spread open like a pair of parted lips, revealing the white bone underneath that looked like teeth .
He had only bled a little before the blood clotted shortly after . The wound had stopped bleeding out . Chu Li currently has achieved terrifying control over his body—down to the most minuscule cells .
A pitch-black layer shrouded his white bones . The poison on the blade was extremely potent .
"What's the matter?" Lu Yurong frowned . She turned her solemn face to assess their surroundings .
Chu Li took out a jade white bottle and pulled off the cork . He applied some powder onto his wound and said, "Be careful . The person stalking us has the ability to go invisible!"
Lu Yurong frowned and asked, "Is he from the Amethyst Mountain?"
It was night time now . The Phantom Yin Skill was the most powerful and terrifying at this time of the hour . Now was also the perfect time for the disciples of Amethyst Mountain to kill anyone!
Chu Li placed the jade white bottle back . "It's also possible that he's from the Holy Church of Light!"
The two of them spoke softly .
Chu Li activated the Omniscient Mirror and searched the area . There was no sign of anyone nearby .
Nonetheless, Chu Li's intuition told him that they must be somewhere within the area .
He activated the Omniscient Mirror again and began searching . He inspected every inch of his peripheral view . He was certain that he would find him!
His expression suddenly changed to absolute horror . Chu Li immediately grabbed Lu Yurong's slim waist and dashed abruptly to somewhere ten meters away from where they stood .
A long blade swept across the spot where they originally stood . They only managed to dodge it by a few inches .
Lu Yurong was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat .
She could not believe that she was not alerted by the threat of an attack before . She did not even sense that a blade was about to swing her way . If it were not for Chu Li who pulled her away, her head would have been separated from her body . What a frightening murderer!
Her heart was filled with rage . A surge of vengeance flowed through her .
Chu Li swung his left hand and a flying blade shot towards a pine tree .
'Bam!' The flying blade bounced off the tree trunk .
A man clad in black appeared from behind the tree . He watched Chu Li with an expressionless look .
Lu Yurong scoffed, "You're from Amethyst Mountain, aren't you?"
The man was about the same height as Lu Yurong . His gaze underneath his black scarf was calm and passive . He looked at Chu Li as if he was a dead man . "Next time, I'll kill you for sure!" he said in his dry and hoarse voice .
Chu Li scoffed, "Since when did the Amethyst Mountain collaborate with the Holy Church of Light!"
"I'm not with those bunch of idiotic fools . " A look of mockery glinted in the man's eyes . He then turned and disappeared into the trees .
When Lu Yurong flew over the area where he disappeared into, she could find no one there .
"What a remarkable body technique!" Lu Yurong scoffed . She caught a glimpse of Chu Li's right shoulder . "Your injury…"
"I won't die," Chu Li said .
He stared at a tree intently and pondered . "We must get rid of him, or else we won't ever be at ease in the future . That'll be exhausting!"
"How can we get rid of him?" Lu Yurong said . "He's probably a top-notch master from the Amethyst Mountain . You sure are daring in who you want to cause trouble for . "
"I really don't wish to provoke anyone . They're the ones who always wanted to kill me first! Should I really just sit still obediently?" Chu Li shook his head and said, "I can only stop my killers by killing them . Let's see who'll be able to kill the other first!"
He flung the flying blade in his hand again . A stream of light shot towards another tree .
'Bam!' The flying blade bounced off the tree bark .
Chu Li flung again, and this time, the flying blade pierced the trunk of the tree and shot through it .
"He's already gone!" Chu Li shook his head .

Chu Li could not identify the adversary through the Omniscient Mirror . He managed to detect a pocket of shadow lurking in the area by flinging a few of his flying blades . He felt like he was searching for a clear jellyfish in the ocean .
The man's Phantom Yin Skill had reached a deeply profound level so much that its powers were linked with the void . It was similar to his own Imminent Skyline . Its formidable power was truly astonishing . Without the Omniscient Mirror, he could not have avoided his attack .
Lu Yurong sighed . "How are we going to kill a man like that?"
"Everyone has a weakness . " Chu Li smiled . "His desire to kill me is a weakness itself . If I utilize it well, it'll be enough to kill him!"
"Your movements are a little limited because I'm here, right?" Lu Yurong said .
Chu Li looked at her . "Do you want to leave?"
Lu Yurong rolled her eyes at him . "If you don't think of me as an encumbrance, of course I'll stay!"
"Then stay," Chu Li said . "The Holy Church of Light won't give up just like that . This is an opportunity for us to gain experience!"
"You are quite an optimist . " Lu Yurong laughed .
Chu Li had a daring spirit . He treated every danger as an experience . The God's Limbs gave him a big part of his confidence .

The night sky turned darker gradually, and the moon hung bright above the clouds .
Chu Li and Lu Yurong sat on a low makeshift couch . Both of the couches were two steps apart .
The low couches were made from the woods gathered nearby . Chu Li's carving skills came in handy as he carved the wood with his sword . He made the two low couches at a leisurely pace .
They were still not far from the deadly masters from the Holy Church of Light . There was a bag placed nearby that was stuffed with three decapitated heads . Chu Li had to bring them back to the Secret Guardians Hall . This displeased Lu Yurong so much that her brows were knotted tightly together .
The night was peaceful . Everything was asleep . The bugs and insects had even ceased their chirping .
Suddenly, Chu Li opened his eyes .
Lu Yurong sensed his sudden movements, so she opened her eyes as well .

"He's here?" she asked .
Chu Li nodded . "I sense four top-notch masters . Be careful!"
Lu Yurong's face suddenly flushed . A stream of light fell from the sky, and she absorbed it . Her entire body glowed like white jade . She had activated her secret skill as she wanted to gain the upper hand right from the start of the coming fight .
Chu Li nodded . As expected, Lu Yurong was always one step ahead of the game .
The four masters were not just ordinary masters . Furthermore, their situation right now could not be like how it was before . He could not make his move after depleting all his inner energy again .
The Heavenly Demonic Orb dropped onto his precordium and caused his blood to surge like the waves in the Jiang River . Endless energy spread all across his body .
Four elders in grey robes glided towards them soundlessly . They were martial arts masters from the Holy Church of Light . As they landed on the ground, Chu Li's expression slightly changed and turned around .
Chu Li appeared behind an elder and struck him with his palm .
The elder chuckled dryly . Chu Li had attacked without warning .
"Bam!" The elder in the grey robe was flung away from the hit . It was as if he was being hit by a gigantic rock .
"Bam!" Chu Li sent another elder flying .
The remaining two elders noticed things were not looking great on their side . They tried to flee, but Lu Yurong had already pounced on them .
Chu Li's body movement technique was as quick as lightning . He caught up with the two elders high in the sky and activated the Shura Palm .
"Bam, bam, bam, bam!" After a series of muffled sounds resounded in the air, the two elders in grey clothing fell to the ground and did not make any sound or movement . They had passed away .
They had already been killed by Chu Li before they could even activate their secret skills .
The other two elders were cornered by Lu Yurong . They took the opportunity to perform their secret skills . Their skills could take down anyone in the blink of an eye . They could eliminate her with just a few easy moves .
Chu Li turned his body sideways to protect Lu Yurong from the side . He neither dodged nor avoided the attack . His Shura Palm struck the opponents the same time they struck him .
"Bam!" The elder faltered and scoffed at Chu Li . He did not, however, backed away .

Chu Li attacked him with the Shura Palm again .
The elder confronted the attack without dodging it at all . He managed to hit Chu Li this time .
The two of them fought like men who had no cultivation whatsoever in martial arts . They attacked each other at the same time to see who would be the first one to yield .
Chu Li felt odd inner energy reverberated inside his body . He felt like it was going to split his insides anytime with its tyrannical nature . If it was not for the Heavenly Demonic Power that flowed inside of him, his body could have exploded a long time ago .
A normal person would have died due to his body exploding underneath such powerful palm energy .
He looked at Lu Yurong again . Her face was flushed as if she was really drunk . She was unsteady on her feet and on the verge of collapsing .
Chu Li sneered when he saw that things were not looking good . He sped up the Shura Palm abruptly and attacked the elder over ten times with his palm .
The elder managed to hit Chu Li six times with his palm in return .
"Bam!" He collapsed straight away and died .
Chu Li sighed a breath of relief . He was unsure how many more hits he could withstand .
The Heavenly Demonic Orb suddenly coagulated and quickly engulfed the inner energy that was about to explode within him . Even with such speed, he had already been injured and would need a few days to recover properly .
He swung his hand and shot a stream of light at Lu Yurong's opponent .
The elder in grey clothing had an emaciated face and eyes like lightning . He avoided the blade nimbly and scoffed to himself . He then turned and flew away .
Chu Li frowned . That elder did not speak at all which was much scarier than those shouting threatening words .
He quickly supported Lu Yurong .
Lu Yurong fell into his arms . Her face still looked as lovely as ever .
Chu Li had a strong urge to kiss her . As this thought lingered in his mind, he shifted a meter sideways abruptly . A blade suddenly appeared from the sky and sliced right through the place where they originally stood .
"I was waiting for you!" Chu Li said . He launched a hit that he had accumulated his energy for a long time ago with his left hand .
