Chapter 570
When they saw that a carriage had stopped before them, Qin Jin and the other men tensed up . Two of them stepped forward to block in front of Chu Li, whereas the other two turned to guard behind them . They were prepared to defend if anyone attempted to attack .
"Yu…" A shout was heard . The wheeler cracked the whip and slowly steered the carriage away .
The four men were relieved; apparently, it was not an attack .
Chu Li stare at the carriage and said faintly, "Be careful, someone is still hiding underneath . "
"Why isn't he coming out?" Qin Jin and the others looked over curiously as the carriage slowly traveled further away .
Chu Li smiled .
The four men were dubious . They followed Chu Li and continued moving forward without letting their guard down .
Their pace was steady but sure . Chu Li strolled leisurely while he admired the surrounding atmosphere of the Fairy's Capital . The bustle and liveliness of the place were different from any other city . One would never get tired of experiencing it .
After they walked for quite a distance, they saw the carriage again .
The carriage was halted in the middle of the roadside . The wheelman had gone to purchase some items from a shop nearby . The horse was snorting impatiently as it trenched with its fore hoof from time to time .
Chu Li turned and smiled at the four mean . "This is the real trick . Pay close attention . "
Qin Jin asked bitterly, "Centurion, is there really a master?"
Chu Li looked like he was watching a show . He was extremely calm and relaxed as if there was not the slightest fear of being assassinated .
"It's a powerful figure . All of you…pick your spirits up," Chu Li said .
"Alright . " Qin Jin and the other men nodded slowly .
They walked beside the carriage, but there was no movement .
Qin Jin and the other men were already tensed . As they passed by the carriage, there were still no sudden movements . Even after the carriage was behind twenty feet from them, they were still very anxious as there was no ambush .
Through the Omniscient Mirror, Chu Li had a clear picture . There was an elder dressed in grey clothing underneath the carriage .
The elder in grey clothing had a body technique which was as quick as lightning . The intruder suddenly flew out from underneath the carriage . He instantly passed by Zheng Dongdxia and Ou Yanghua who were protecting Chu Li and appeared right before him .
'Bam!' Chu Li turned and struck out his pam to counter the attack from the elder in grey clothing .
Zheng Dongxia and Ou Yanghua scoffed angrily . They pounced towards the elder without hesitation .
Chu Li's palm energy was bizarre . As it entered his body, it was being engulfed and strengthened continuously . The inner energy of the elder in grey clothing was channeled slower than his . He could only face Zheng Dongxia and Ou Yanghua, whereby he pushed away both of their swords separately .
Qin Jin quickly asked, "Centurion, are you alright?"
Chu Li laughed . "Be careful, he's not the only one . "
Qin Jin and Feng Jing turned to look around them .
Three elders in grey clothing flew out from the rooftop . They dashed down towards Chu Li like three golden eagles .
Qin Jin and Feng Jing jeered and took out their long swords out from their scabbards . They met head-on with those three men .
Two of the elders in grey clothing charged towards Qin Jin and Feng Jin to hold them down . The remaining elder attacked Chu Li .
Chu Li inspected the three men and did not recognize any of them at all .

"Little Chu, hand over the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual, or else we'll keep coming at you!" said the elder with a defined chin . His voice sounded like a great bell; as he said that, he slammed his palm down and his palm energy gathered together .
Chu Li faced the attack . 'Bam', a muffled sound was heard . None of them were backing away .
'Bam, bam, bam…' The two of them countered each other's attacks continuously with their palms . They were suddenly glued together from both their inner energies .
Qin Jin and his other three men were a little anxious .
'The Centurion is an exceedingly wise man . Why would he do something so foolish like that and compare his inner energy with that old man?' they thought . It was exactly what the old men were hoping for . They usually relied on their long cultivation periods and profound cultivation level which would be able to repress the Centurion's ingenuity .
'Regardless of how strong the Centurion was, he had a shorter cultivation period . His cultivation would be slightly inferior which would not put him in a good situation when compared to his inner energy . '
Chu Li forced a smile at the elder in front of him .
The elder in grey clothing had a ghastly look . He stared at Chu Li with great intensity .
After a brief moment, vapor evaporated from the head of the elder in grey . He was already drenched in sweat .
Chu Li, on the other hand, looked as calm as usual . He seemed so relaxed as if he was not comparing his inner energy .
Competing inner energy was much more dangerous than exchanging techniques . In a fight at close quarters, being suppressed by the opponent would give no time to avoid an attack or escape . It defined the opponent's life or death .
When the other three elders in grey clothing saw that something was not right with their partner, they thought that it was unimaginably queer . They did not give a second thought at all and left their own opponents to charge towards Chu Li . They were hoping to distract him to avail their partner of an attack .
The first elder in grey clothing was a plump and gentle looking man . His martial arts was the strongest, as even Zheng Dongdxia and Ou Yanghua together could not take him down .
Qin Jin and the rest gave their utmost effort to block them off so that they would not interrupt Chu Li in his fight .
Chu Li's inner energy was growing stronger at incredible speeds, such that the elder in grey looked pale and distressed . When he did his best to activate his inner energy, it was being engulfed in an instant . Chu Li's inner energy became stronger in the blink of an eye, while his energy was gradually weakened .

When one achieved the Grandmaster's Boundary, his or her inner energy would become infinite . No matter how endless it was, it still, however, could not be replenished fast enough against an engulfing snowball effect such as this .
Chu Li transported all the inner energy back to his body swiftly and channeled another stream of inner energy back .
'Bam!' The elder was blown away from the force .
Puff!' Chu Li shot out an arrow of blood whilst he was in the air . The elder landed on the ground heavily and struggled to sit back up .
"Leave!" yelled Chu Li . When the remaining three elders saw that matters were not in their favor, they dashed towards their comrade to retrieve him . In the wink of an eye, they disappeared from the sight of Chu Li and his men .
"Centurion?" they quickly asked . Qin Jin and the others could not be bothered about to chase after them .
Chu Li was satisfied; the inner energy that he engulfed immediately made a few circulatory cycles inside his body . It was being channeled at an incredible speed as it was engulfed by the Heavenly Demonic Orb in one shot . As expected, the Cloud Slashing Power and the Heavenly Demonic Power were a great match .
"Are you alright?" Qin Jin quickly asked .
Chu Li shook his head and said with a smile, "It'll be good to have more of masters like that . "
Qin Jin and the other men shook their heads with a bitter smile .
"Let's leave, there should be more of them coming," Chu Li said .
After they had traveled a short distance, Chu Li passed by a Family Chui Restaurant .
Six Grandmasters charged towards them from the restaurant, whereas four went against Qin Jin and the rest . The other two enemies attacked Chu Li as they were all elders with profound cultivation levels .
Chu Li sighed to himself in secret . Indeed, the allure of claiming the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual was strong . These old men had probably just arrived at the Fairy's Capital .
Instantaneously, ten Grandmastersappeared before them . It really felt like there were as many Grandmasters as the stray dogs in the capital . If they were based outside of the Fairy's Capital, any of those Grandmasters could inspire fear .

Qing Jin and the rest felt helpless as their opponents were too difficult to deal with . They could not lend a hand to Chu Li as they were strong in will but weak in power . They could only watch as he fought against two enemies . Soon after, Chu Li fought each one with each of his palms .
The three of them competed for their inner energies again .
It was just what the two elders wanted . One of the Grandmasters was enough to take on Chu Li . Furthermore, there were two of them to fight . As Chu Li compared inner energies with the two of them, they felt suddenly sick of living . Suicidal thoughts started to invade their mind .
After some time, they felt that something was not right . They wanted to break away from Chu Li's palm but it was like they were being held by ropes . They could not get rid of his grip no matter what .
The more they warded off the bizarre palm energy with their inner energy, the quicker their inner energies were being engulfed . On the other hand, their opponent's inner energy was growing so quickly and Chu Li had already surpassed their own inner energy in the blink of an eye .
In just a few short breaths, steam started to exude from their heads . They looked very pale .
Chu Li was in high spirits instead . He forced a grin to his enemies .
After he had engulfed half of their inner energies, Chu Li collected them swiftly and channeled it back to them . The new intruding energy caused them to be blown away by the force . In midair, the enemies vomited blood from the violent energy that coursed through their meridians .
"Leave---!" yelled Chu Li . After they landed, they cried out with rage .
The remaining four elders grabbed them and left the scene .
Chu Li laughed out loud . The newfound inner energy that he just engulfed was circulating quickly inside his body . It was being purified continuously, which was then completely engulfed by the Heavenly Demonic Orb at last .
"Centurion…?" Qin Jin and the other men looked at him in utter shock .
Chu Li's moves were too abnormal . Even after he had competed for his inner energy with the two men, he could still win over them . How much has his cultivation level exceeded?
Chu Li smiled and said, "This time it should be peaceful and quiet . Let us go!"
"Yes . " Qin Jin and the three men were in awe and veneration .
