Chapter 790: 790
Two people appeared right in front of Chu Li in an instant before they glared at him intently .
Chu Li flung the torch aside before he clapped his hands and arrogantly said, “Go ahead and burn my house down . Let’s see who the real coward is!”
“Zhao Dahe, you can’t beat us,” Tan Hu gently said . “We’ll stop at nothing to kill you . Gale City doesn’t belong to you . You should come to your senses so that we can all save time . ”
Chu Li shook his head and said, “Your Light-body Technique doesn’t pose a challenge for me . You can’t kill me!”
“Do you want to spend all of your time hiding in different places?” Tan Hu said, “You’re the Radiance Clan’s leader, but you’re in such a sorry state . Aren’t you embarrassing the Holy Church of Light?”
“It doesn’t matter if they’re ashamed of me . ” Chu Li glanced at the crowd from the Roaring Tiger Clan . “The Radiance Clan will remain here as long as I’m here!”
Tan Hu said, “I think that the Holy Church of Light is using you to test the waters . They’ve clearly abandoned you . Otherwise, why would they send you here by yourself? They should have sent a few more masters here with you instead of putting you in such a tight spot . Don’t you agree?”
Chu Li smiled . “Tan Hu, I can’t believe that you’re concerned about me . ”
Tan Hu replied, “It may seem that way but I’m also doing this for my own sake . Things will be less troublesome for me once I put an end to you . ”
“That’s impossible . ” Chu Li scoffed as his smile vanished . “You should give that idea up . The Radiance Clan will never collapse as long as I remain here!”
Tan Hu lowered his face before he turned his head to look at the lanky elder . “Master’s Junior Meng, this b*stard refuses to listen to rhyme or reason . We have no choice . ”
“Let’s kill him . ” The lanky elder nodded .
The pair stood next to each other and extended their clenched fists . Two white tiger silhouettes appeared as the sound of roars drifted over . The tiger silhouettes instantly pounced at Chu Li . It seemed impossible to dodge them because they were moving at the speed of light .
However, Chu Li was already a hundred feet away from where they were .
Chu Li used Time Steps just as the thought crossed his opponent’s minds . He successfully dodged their attack because he was one step ahead .
“Roar…” The roars did not cease . Two rays of light began chasing after Chu Li .
Chu Li swiftly moved from left to right to dodge them . He felt exhausted because he was racing to be ahead of the two other men’s thoughts with every step .
Before Chu Li came to the Li Dynasty, he assumed that a powerful force like the Holy Church of Light would definitely be extremely conceited in the Li Dynasty’s martial arts world . He also thought that the Holy Church of Light would dominate the Li Dynasty exclusively .
Once he arrived in the Li Dynasty, he realized that although the Holy Church of Light was strong, it was certainly not what he had imagined .
Chu Li did not attach much importance to the White Tiger Sect before this .
The Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait originated from the Zheng Dynasty’s White Tigers Cave . Their martial arts nearly became extinct when the White Tigers Cave was destroyed in a natural disaster, but several branches were derived from it . The White Tiger Sect was one of those branches . They had previously cultivated the Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait . Although its destructive force was greater, this skill was inferior to the Great Light Scripture and the Titanium Temple’s divine powers .
All this while, Chu Li assumed that the destructive force of the White Tiger Sect’s martial arts was limited .
He only realized that he had made a huge mistake when he experienced it firsthand . As one of the four major sects, the destructive force of the White Tiger Sect’s martial arts was extremely terrifying .
The White Tiger Killing Skill was incredible due to its great and unparalleled speed . He could not rely on using Time Steps to avoid this attack unless he could read their thoughts in advance .
The pair managed to stubbornly follow closely behind Chu Li as their Light-body Technique was also highly advanced .
Chu Li circled through the Roaring Tiger Clan . He was terribly disheveled because he moved in a zigzag path to escape the two tiger silhouettes’ murderous pursuit .
Tan Hu and Master’s Junior Meng controlled one tiger silhouette each to hunt him down . It seemed like they were deeply connected because they worked together well . For instance, one of them would be above while the other was below, or one would be on Chu Li’s left while the other was on his right . Although Chu Li could read their minds, he would occasionally fall into a difficult position .

“Bang! Bang!” Two dull noises rang out as Chu Li entered a house through a window before he came back out after that . The two tiger silhouettes disappeared without a trace, but faint thuds echoed when they crashed inside the house .
Chu Li’s two opponents could not enter the house in time . They lost control of the two tiger silhouettes because they were unable to see .
Chu Li had just sighed in relief when the pair of tiger silhouettes reappeared and chased him again .
Chu Li scoffed before he used the same trick again . He rushed inside the house once more . After that, Chu Li dashed outside again before the two other men entered .
“Bang! Bang!” Two dull thuds echoed inside the house before the tiger silhouettes vanished again .
Another two tiger silhouettes appeared just as the previous ones vanished . Chu Li scurried inside the house again . He did not rush back out because only one tiger silhouette followed him inside this time . The tiger silhouette sent a table flying, but Chu Li remained inside .
Suddenly, Tan Hu rushed inside .
A blinding burst of silver light greeted Tan Hu head-on just as he entered the house .
“Ding, ding, ding, ding…” Tan Hu waved both of his fists while the sharp end of Chu Li’s sword stabbed his palms and his body . There were more than ten holes on his clothes after several moments . However, Tan Hu remained unharmed as he dashed inside the house and rushed toward Chu Li .
Chu Li dodged him in a flash before he continued wielding his sword .
Tan Hu’s body movement technique was extremely fast . He only needed to take one long stride to appear right in front of Chu Li . Tan Hu threw a punch at Chu Li while ignoring the other man’s sword attacks . A roar echoed as Tan Hu struck Chu Li .
Chu Li threw a punch as well .
“Bang!” Both of them took a step backward as their fist force met .

There was a sudden flash as Chu Li escaped through the window .
Unfortunately, the lanky elder was concurrently making his way inside .
It seemed like one person was entering while the other person was exiting at the same moment . This appeared to be a coincidence, but Tan Hu and the lanky elder knew that this was not the case . Zhao Dahe looked like an idiot, but he was actually intelligent and shrewd . It was also difficult to capture him because he had unusually keen senses . It was extremely hard to kill him .
Chu Li dashed outside the house at the speed of light before he scurried off into the darkness of the night . Chu Li had already vanished without a trace when Tan Hu and the lanky elder ran outside .
“Hunt him down!” A stern look showed on the lanky elder’s face as he furiously spat .
Tan Hu nodded .
It was clear that Tan Hu and Chu Li were almost at the same cultivation level . However, Tan Hu felt extremely dejected because Master’s Junior Meng was still unable to kill Chu Li .
Chu Li seemed like an ant that would die if someone stepped on it . However, one stomp was not enough to kill him, and he remained alive no matter how many times he was stomped . A person would inevitably be enraged if they were unable to kill that ant despite the number of times they stepped on it .
The pair turned into a gust of wind that rushed out before they raced to the place where the Radiance Clan was located .
However, Chu Li was not at the Radiance Clan .
The pair dispatched several members of Roaring Tiger Clan to find him . They stubbornly searched through Gale City deep into the night, but they failed to discover Chu Li’s whereabouts .
Chu Li had fled the city . He sat cross-legged in the forest and thought of ways to defeat them .
Tan Hu and the old man whose last name was Meng were troublesome people . They were also a nuisance because the White Tiger Power could endure numerous attacks . It would be ineffective to ambush them and he could not defeat them in a quick fight . Once Chu Li started fighting them, he would be caught up in a lengthy battle . During that battle, the White Tiger Killing Skill would certainly exhaust him .

His success would only be guaranteed if he used the Heavenly Demonic Power .
Nobody in the vicinity was keeping a close watch over him now, but he still refused to use the Heavenly Demonic Power .
He pondered for a while before realizing that his only option was to fight his two opponents to see who would get exhausted first . This depended on which party could outlast the other .
The next morning, he appeared in the Radiance Clan’s official residence .
The fire inside the official residence was extinguished much earlier . Five houses and a woodshed in the front courtyard were burned down, but the remaining houses were not damaged . He chose a random house while waiting for Tan Hu and the others to find him .
In the evening, he waited for the arrival of a visitor . However, that guest was not Tan Hu, but Li Ruolan instead .
Chu Li hurriedly approached Li Ruolan the moment she appeared before the official residence . He frowned and asked, “Miss Ruolan, what are you doing here?”
Li Ruolan wore a white veil and a light purple-colored gown . Her face was partially shrouded, but her enchanting doe-like eyes were already extremely alluring .
Li Ruolan looked Chu Li up and down before she gently said, “Are you alright?”
“I’m perfectly fine . ” Chu Li proudly said, “The White Tiger Sect is strong, but they failed to capture me!”
“That’s good,” Li Ruolan quietly said .
“Miss Ruolan, you didn’t have to come here . ” Chu Li seemed slightly anxious as he glanced around . He hurriedly waved his hands and said, “Please come inside . ”
Li Ruolan followed him past the entrance . A serious look appeared in her big charming eyes when she saw the ruins of several houses in the front courtyard after the fire . Li Ruolan knew that Chu Li was trying to be brave despite the fact that he had gone through a rough day .
