Chapter 608
"Hold up . " Su Ru opened a cabinet beside her and took out a long box .
She placed the long box on the table and opened it up . An ancient brightly colored long sword laid inside .
She took out the long sword and handed it to Chu Li .
Chu Li reached his hand out to take it .
A heroic spirit seeped through his skin the moment he gripped onto the sword . Those who had once encountered the bludgeon of this sword which cut off heads as if it was mowing grass crept into his thoughts . A peculiar sense of connection with the sword was established .
He drew out the long sword . Its blade itself was clear and bright, giving off a chilling sense of gloom .
'Ding!' He knocked the body of the blade with his knuckles and a clear ringing noise sounded .
Su Ru took two steps back and exclaimed, "This sword has killed many people . Its killing intent is really strong . "
She could sense a sort of chill coming from the blade . One could not feel it when it was it in its scabbard and in the box . However, once it was taken out, the killing intent that had been once hidden would overflow, and the temperature of the house would drop .
Chu Li took a few swings of the long sword . "The killing intent is intense . Next time, we should sink it into the Crystal Crescent Lake and let the water cleanse it of its killing intent . "
"Uh-huh, alright . " Su Ru nodded .
The sword seemed to be able to sense Chu Li's keenness to murder . It quivered in his hands
"You're leaving now?" asked Su Ru .
Chu Li nodded and waved a hand across his face .
Once he put his hand down, he had already changed into another face . He was handsome and his physique was stretched longer . He was taller, and only the sword in his hand and his white rob remained unchanged .
Even though it was not the first time Su Ru had seen him do this, she still found it amazing . It was incredible that he could train his Bone Shrinkage Skill to such perfection .
"Ah . . . " A low grown was heard .
The two turned and saw that Li Hanyan was regaining consciousness . She called out, "Water . . . water . . . "
Su Ru went and supported her back to bring her up on the pillows . She took a cup from the table that was filled with warm water and sent it to her pale cracking lips .
Li Hanyan took two large sips greedily and slowly opened her bright eyes .
Her bright eyes flickered as she yelled in disbelief, "Du . . . Big brother Du?"
Chu Li let out a warm smile . "It's me . "
Li Hanyan struggled to sit up . Su Ru smiled and pushed her up to sit, cushioning her back with two pillows .
Chu Li waved a dismissive hand . "Don't move about . Your wounds are not completely healed . "
Li Hanyan felt a warm current circulating in her body . She felt as though she was in a sauna, feeling so comfortable that she could doze off . She knew that big brother Du had aided in her treatment . She heaved a sigh . "I thought I'll never see big brother Du again . "
"You thought you'll never see the light of the day again?" Chu Li chuckled .
Li Hanyan nodded gently .
She had once again experienced death or rather on the brink of death .
If it were not for master, she would have died . Even after master's attempt to go all out, she still thought she would not live even after regaining consciousness . Darkness enveloped her like the ocean tide . Before passing out, she had predicted she would never awaken again .
Before she was completely engulfed by the darkness, her biggest regret was not being able to see big brother Du again . She could not bid big brother Du farewell in time .
Chu Li added, "This time you got lucky . You really have to settle down and practice your martial arts well . Leave the valley once you're strong enough so that you'll never encounter this sort of incident again!"
"Yes . " Li Hanyan nodded obediently .

"Now that you're awake, channel your skills to treat your wounds . I'm heading out for a bit to take care of those people," responded Chu Li .
"Big brother Du wants to kill them?" said Li Hanyan .
Chu Li nodded .
"I want to go too!" Li Hanyan jumped in .
"No!" Su Ru said right away . "You have sustained such serious wounds yet you still want to go out!"
"My wounds are nothing to worry about," Li Hanyan rebutted .
Su Ru continued, "He's out to kill people . There's nothing much to watch, plus it's dangerous . You're only going to trouble them if you go!"
"Big brother Du, I want to witness how they die with my very own eyes!" Li Hanyan pursed her lips and scoffed, "These six men weren't just out to kill us . They even disgraced master with their words . I must witness their death!"
"Mm?!" Su Ru frowned, rage boiling inside her .
Master was beautiful and kind . They deserved death! for daring to insult her!
Chu Li fell mulled over it before saying, "Mm, you can come and watch . . . But you must focus on recovery . I'll return tomorrow . "
He had intentions to nurture Li Hanyan . She had displayed great potential and could be a top-notch master in the future . The experience she had now would be the most beneficial to her .
As his martial arts practice was taking shape, he finally understood that many masters found difficulty in advancing precisely because they lack the necessary experience .
"Thank you, Big Brother Du . My injuries will be alright tomorrow . " Li Hanyan said while beaming and bouncing in joy .
Chu Li smiled . "Don't hanker around recklessly . You'll injure yourself . "
"Understood!" Li Hanyan nodded .
Chu Li looked at Su Ru . " I'll return tomorrow . Help her with her treatment . "

" . . . Yes . " Su Ru could do nothing but agree .
She felt that there was nothing exciting about the killings but to see those that had insulted master being killed, well, just listening about it made her happy . Li Hanyan's want to go was above reproach . She did not say anything else since Chu Li did not seem to think that she would be a burden to him .

When Chu Li returned to Tianshu courtyard, Xiao Shi was pacing in it .
Xiao Shi went to him when he appeared . "What happened?"
Chu Li answered, "Someone is badly injured at the Snow Lunar Pavilion and almost lost her life . It was fortunate I went over . "
If he did not go over, Shen Yinghu would have lost her life . Li Hanyan could still live with the Spirit Blessing Pill and could recover slowly . Just thinking about the alluring woman becoming a corpse was sinful enough .
"Little sister?" Xiao Shi immediately asked .
Chu Li shook his head . "The third young lady's master . "
"What went down?"
"Let's sit down and talk," Chu Li sat down by the stone table .
Xiao Shi glared displeasingly at him and came to sit face to face with him . She fixed her eyes that was as profound as the bottom of a lake at him .
Chu Li repeated the whole incident to her .
"Holy Church of Light again!" Xiao Shi cursed hatefully . "It looks like they're unifying the whole martial arts world of the Great Ji Dynasty!"
Chu Li said, "That's not certain . We'll need to see about that . "
He could not conclude the motive of the Holy Church of Light . He needed to do a little investigation before doing so . If the Holy Church of Light did not make any move in the Great Li, Dynasty then they would not be unifying the martial arts world of the Great Ji Dynasty .

At noon the next day, the sun shone brightly in the sky . It was the perfect weather to kill someone .
Chu Li appeared at the Snow Lunar Pavilion in a flash .
He has transformed into Du Feng when he was stepping into the pavilion .
He saw Xiao Qi with his Omniscient Mirror . She was sitting still like a jade statute by the lake, blending very well into with the lake waters .
He thought it was a sweet picture . The entire Snow Lunar Pavilion felt exceptionally familiar with her presence .
Shen Yinghu was channeling on the bed, and her breathing was even . Her injuries had been stabilized, and now she only needed time to recover .
Li Hanyan's wounds have gotten better by a large margin and could recover through channeling . It was apparent that she was awake the whole night and was channeling to treat her wounds .
Chu Li grabbed a hold of the sword handed over by Su Ru and held Lee Hanyna by the sleeve as he glided away .
The two left the Snow Lunar Pavilion and headed straight down the hill to a town twenty miles away . They stopped at a restaurant in town .
The restaurant had a huge banner fluttering in the wind . The words, "Howling Wind restaurant", in were printed in such a large form that half the town could see it from afar .
Li Hanyan had a white gauze over her face, covering her gorgeous beauty . She was dressed in pink, her figure lithe and delicate . Du Feng was as handsome as ever . He was dressed in a fluttering white robe . A long sword was tied to his waist . They were a beautiful couple .
Once they stepped into the restaurant, they attracted the attention of many .
On the second floor by the window sat six middle-aged men at two tables that were combined . They were whispering with their heads lowered .
They were all dressed in spotless white clothes . The couple's appearance made them glance their way once before they continued on with their conversations .
Two middle-aged men fixated their gaze on Li Hanyan while falling deep in thought . They seemed to have recognized her .
Chu Li sat down by the table opposite of them and ordered a pot of alcohol and two dishes to accompany it .
"Is the patrol coming over today?" one of the soldierly middle-aged men asked in a deep voice .
"He'll surely come over," A handsome middle-aged man opposite him nodded with a solemn look on his face . "We didn't succeed, so we're bound to endure some sufferings with the patrol today . "
