Chapter 604
Chu Li activated the Cloud Slashing Power and Cloud Slashing Palm at the same time . They were going to swallow their inner energies .
The two middle-aged men in grey had profound inner energies . Coupled with their secret skills, their inner energies became much more intense and astonishing .
It was a bit strenuous for Chu Li to swallow their energies . He actually felt like he was unable to engulf all of them . It felt like the force of his Cloud Slashing Palm was gradually being driven away .
Chu Li decided to simply withdraw, and the Heavenly Demonic Orb engulfed everything in an instant .
He teleported and appeared behind Murong Chun's opponent . He then drew his sword .
That middle-aged man in black responded rather quickly, as if he had become a completely different person upon activating the secret skill . Suddenly, he was able to react to things in time which he could not do so before . His agility had improved greatly too, allowing him to dodge the sword just in time .
Chu Li swung his sword again . It was an exquisite and unrivaled move as the tip of his sword struck at the throat of the middle-aged man in black .
The middle-aged man in black could not help but back away to avoid it .
He activated his secret skill which burned the essence of his blood . He still wanted to kill Chu Li before he met MahVairocana . He could not just die in vain .
Chu Li snapped, "Elder Murong, go assist Elder Xia . Leave the rest to me!"
"Alright!" Murong Chun cried out before pouncing towards Xia Liyan's opponent .
He could tell that the young lord had exquisite Martial Art . It was far better than what he had expected . He could easily go against two men, or even three . Thus, Murong Chun could focus on going against one opponent together with Elder Xia . The tides of the battle would change if they were able to defeat even one opponent together .
Chu Li said, "They've already activated their secret skills, and they know they are dead men walking because of that . So be careful . They've nothing to lose . "
The two of them shivered in fear . The both of them exchanged a look, and their bodies expanded . They had activated the secret skill of Crouching Bull Mountain . Their speed ramped up, and their palm energies improved greatly . This allowed them to repress the man in black with ease .
Meanwhile, Chu Li's swordsmanship was both swift and extraordinary . Although the elder in black was overbearing, he had already suffered two hits from his sword . He still fought with no fear of death, and his expression was holy and solemn as though he was doing something noble . He was not at all bothered by the blood pooling on his shoulders and forehead .
Once again, the two middle-aged men in grey pounced on him, attacking him from both sides at the same time .
Even though Chu Li was being encircled by the three men, he handled the situation with ease . He fought them with his exquisite swordsmanship and had taken the opportunity to activate the Cloud Slashing Palm to engulf the three men's inner energies .
"Bam, bam, bam, bam!" Murong Chun and Xia Liyan were fighting head-on with the middle-aged man in black . Their palm energies and fist forces were colliding non-stop . The middle-aged man in black had a dignified and holy look . White light was radiating faintly from his body . Over time, the white light became more and more vibrant .
Moments later, his entire body lit up . Murong Chun and Xia Liyan quickly backed away . When they opened their eyes again, he had already disappeared .
Chu Li yelled out, "They no longer have anything to lose . Be careful!"
Initially, they thought that those six men would tried to escape if they thought they were losing the fight, but it turned out that they had no intentions of escaping . They wanted to kill him no matter what . It was as though he was really an extremely valuable enemy so much so that they did not hold back on activating their secret skills .
Once the secret skill of Holy Church of Light was activated, it would start to burn their essence of blood and vitality . They would pass away fairly quickly by then and enter the realm of MahVairocana .
"Young lord, why don't we just retreat?" Murong Chun quickly said .

He was starting to get a little bit scared . These were a bunch of lunatics who were unafraid of death . There was really no need for him to risk his life to take them all down .
Chu Li yelled, "Kill them all!"
"Let's lend you a helping hand, then," Xia Liyan said quickly .
Chu Li was being surrounded by three men . He called out, "No need for that . Be wary of your own surroundings!"
When they saw that Chu Li was dealing with the situation with ease, they did not try to approach him anymore . Instead, they took the opportunity to catch their breath and withdrew their secret skills . The previous intense fight had tired them out . They had not experienced something this thrilling in a long time .
After some time, the three disciples of the Holy Church of Light who had activated their secret skills just now slowly began to shimmer . Chu Li watched as they transformed into three pillars of light before shooting up into the sky . After that, the faint silhouette of a door appeared . The three pillars promptly shot into the void and disappeared .
"This is…" Murong Chun and Xia Liyan were shocked .
Chu Li said, "This is why the disciples of the Holy Church of Light are not afraid of death . It's because death is their ultimate goal in life . Once they die, they'll enter the MahVairocana's Ultimate Land of Bliss and enjoy the rest of their lives there . "
"Terrifying!" The two of them heaved a sigh .
Chu Li shook his head and said, "I initially thought that they'll run away, then we can chase after them to take down their base, but it was all but a wishful thinking . Turns out that they really wanted to kill us which was rather odd . "
Why did they want to kill the three of them so badly?
He turned to look into the distance and frowned . "Miss, I suppose you can show yourself now?"

"Great Martial Art!" A clear and gentle voice rang out . It sounded like it came from all directions at once, omniscient and encompassing . It sounded ethereal, and everyone around was not certain where did the sound came from .
Chu Li came to a sudden realization and sighed . "They're really lunatics!"
He suddenly understood why those six men had risked their lives . It was all for this woman .
Nevertheless, the woman watched the whole thing with indifference . She did not have the slightest intention to help at all . She merely watched as the six Grandmasters perished .
No matter how powerful the Holy Church of Light was, six Grandmasters was still a serious loss to them . Yet, the woman with the white veil decided to watch on and let them die without lending them a helping hand .
He could tell that the woman had a profound cultivation level that was far superior to his . If he did not use his Heavenly Demonic Power, then he might not be able to defeat her .
He could see that the woman had a graceful and luscious body with the help of the Omniscient Mirror, but he could not see her face . Her white veil seemed to have a strange power that could block the Omniscient Mirror from prying .
The white veil did not just shrouded her face, it even masked away her thoughts . He could hardly make out what she was thinking .
"It's her!" Murong Chun and Xia Liyan's expressions instantly changed . They said anxiously, "Young lord, you must be careful . Her palm technique is very powerful . She was the one who injured the hill master!"
Chu Li nodded .
A white figure flashed past them, and a woman wearing a white veil appeared on the treetops . Under the moonlight, her whole body looked snow white and pure . She looked otherworldly and seemed so light that it was as if she was swaying about with the wind .
The white veil had covered her face, revealing only her bright forehead and eyes that were clear like the autumn water .

Her eyes were narrow, shimmering brightly like the water rippling continuously in the autumn . While she was charming, she also possessed a fairy-like figure .
"Are you the young lord from the Crouching Bull Mountain, Zhuge Tian?" the woman dressed in white asked gently . Her voice sounded as if it was coming from the heavens .
Chu Li cast a lazy glance her way . "Who are you?"
"Liu Yunxin," the woman dressed in white replied gently . "Is your hill master well?"
"He's in isolated cultivation at the moment . Why are you looking for him?"
"I'm afraid that he's unworthy to be the master of your faction . " Liu Yunxin, the woman dressed in white, chuckled . "He still refuses to meet me even after I've killed so many disciples? Is he really going to be such a coward?"
"You killed so many of our disciples just to meet him?" Chu Li asked coldly .
Liu Yunxin nodded . "Of course . "
Chu Li sighed . "That's always been how the Holy Church of Light runs things . You never take lives seriously . "
"Life is just one of the many paths you take . Dying is really not a big deal," Liu Yunxin said with nonchalance . "I wonder if Zhuge Feng will come out if I killed you . "
Chu Li said, "He won't! The two of us are estranged . He'd like for me to die an early death!"
"Oh, that may not be the case…" Liu Yunxin chuckled and said, "I can try . There's no harm in doing so anyway . We might be surprised . "
Chu Li said, "Try me then!"
Chu Li slowly unsheathed his long sword and pointed it at Liu Yunxin .
