Chapter 1006: Dire Situation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Li’s tiger silhouette flickered a little and grew slightly fainter, as though it was about to dissipate. However, it did not vanish and continued to charge toward the third tiger silhouette. In the end, it collided with the third tiger silhouette before peris.h.i.+ng, both silhouettes disappeared.
At that moment, the four men from White Tiger Sect launched two more tiger silhouettes, one of which struck Chu Li’s chest while the other hit his lower abdomen.
“Bang! Bang!”
Two explosive sounds echoed as he was sent flying into the air.
As a strong and solid force surged into his body, it instantly injured his vital organs, and he felt as though his body was going to be torn apart.
“Pft…” As Chu Li sprayed a mouthful of blood, his blood seemed like a blast of red mist in the air.
His inner energy flowed through his body as he drove his White Tiger Power inner energy to slowly get rid of the violent and fluctuating White Tiger Killing Skill force from his opponents.
His inner energy was not as pure as that of his two opponents but it contained a strand of inauspicious power, so it was like pitting a sharp blade against a dull one. While the opponent’s blade was dull and unsharpened, it was firm and heavy. In terms of lethality, it could never compare with a sharp blade, but if one sharp blade had to go up against two dull ones, the sharp blade might not necessarily have that big of an advantage.
His vital organs were much tougher compared to most people. On top of that, he had the floating silkworm treasured clothing. Therefore, while he might suffer some injuries, he would not die. If any other Grandmaster were to get hit twice by their White Tiger Killing Skill, the person would surely die. Presumably, Elder Song had died immediately after suffering one blow.
While Chu Li was still flying in the air, he joined his hands and formed another tiger silhouette. Under his control, the tiger silhouette shot toward one of his opponents.
The old beggar gave a disdainful laugh upon seeing Chu Li’s attempt at showing off his skills in front of these experts!
Chu Li’s cultivation level was pretty impressive. If he had used Great Light Scripture and Light Blade to fight them, he might have posed a threat to them. Instead, he had decided to use White Tiger Power, which he had learned very recently, to fight them. It was a truly ridiculous move. Did he think that they had been cultivating for almost a hundred years for nothing? Was he really hoping to surpa.s.s them when he had been cultivating their martial arts for less than a month?
They were all wearing treasured armor, so even if his White Tiger Killing Skill struck them, its power would be reduced by half. Since it was no cause for concern, they took the attack without the slightest hesitation while producing more tiger silhouettes to pursue Chu Li at the same time. They intended to go all-out and see who would eventually be defeated!
Chu Li had read their thoughts and was intending to make use of this point.
He repeatedly joined his hands and pulled them apart to form three more tiger silhouettes. Then, he began to mult.i.task as he tried to dodge the four incoming tiger silhouettes while controlling his four tiger silhouettes to attack the two beggars and two merchants.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang!” Chu Li failed to avoid all four tiger silhouettes and got hit by one of them.
The four old men also failed to dodge his tiger silhouettes.
Because of his strong spirit, his tiger silhouettes had been moving faster than the old men.
All five of them were sent flying away and spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.
Chu Li’s White Tiger Killing Skill had been surprisingly destructive. Nonetheless, since its formidable power had been reduced by half by their White Tiger Armor, it became not as lethal when it hit their bodies. Moreover, their profound cultivation level had also managed to neutralize part of the damage it caused.
Chu Li got heavily injured once more.
“Again!” Chu Li huffed after spitting out blood and formed yet another tiger silhouette.
“Roar…” His four opponents put their palms together without any hesitation and produced more tiger silhouettes at the same time as Chu Li. Then, four tiger silhouettes shot toward him while his tiger silhouette went after one of the old men.
“Bang!” He was sent flying away. Another old beggar was sent flying away too.
While he was still in the air, the other three tiger silhouettes pursued him stubbornly, like maggots sticking to a corpse. This made him groan inwardly.
If he had been going up against just one of them, he might not necessarily fear them and could even overwhelm them with the astounding force of his White Tiger Power. However, since he was fighting four of them on his own, he stood no chance of winning at all.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang…” There was an endless string of explosive noises as Chu Li was repeatedly sent flying away.
The Phoenix G.o.ddess Brothel had already heard the commotion and the people inside were poking their heads out to see what was happening. As the four men brought the fight from the top of the Phoenix G.o.ddess Brothel to the rooftop of a neighboring building, everyone in the Phoenix G.o.ddess Brothel witnessed the fight clearly and grew excited.
It was very rare to witness a fight between Grandmasters. For those who wished to achieve the Grandmaster’s Boundary, this was an even more precious sight to behold.
Chu Li saw that his situation was becoming worse. If both parties continued to attack one another like this, he would fall into an increasingly disadvantageous position. This was no joking matter. Even if he were to revert to his original ident.i.ty as Chu Li, there was no way he could win. He had to find a way to escape now.
HIs figure swayed slightly as he charged away.
“I’ll go to Radiance Clan!” one of the old beggars said with a huff.
Chu Li laughed coldly. “Go ahead then. I’d like to see whether Radiance Clan or White Tiger Sect has more disciples!”
The old beggar came to a halt and scoffed indignantly. “Well then, I shall destroy you!”
Chu Li’s words had sparked fear in him.
The old man knew that Zhao Dahe had never shown mercy when killing people and that he would certainly carry out his threats, so there was no need to take such a huge risk. Thus, the old man dropped the idea of killing the disciples of Radiance Clan and decided to kill Zhao Dahe first.
Chu Li shouted, “White Tiger Sect has become more and more impressive now. They’ve even sent four centenarian masters to deal with me!”
The old beggar and the other three men began attacking him more aggressively as their expressions changed slightly. One after another, their tiger silhouettes went after him crazily.
Chu Li performed Time Steps and quickly escaped from them as his voice echoed through half of Gale City.
He dodged about and would occasionally get hit by White Tiger Killing Skill. Finally, he managed to escape into the forest outside the city.
He instantly relaxed a little since the formidable power of White Tiger Killing Skill would be limited here. The trees were major obstacles for the white tiger silhouettes because the silhouettes could easily crash into a tree by accident. Thus, it would be much harder for them to catch up to Chu Li.
When he was outside the forest, he would frequently get hit by their White Tiger Killing Skill and spit out a mouthful of blood. However, after entering the forest, he managed to avoid getting hit for a longer time, so the pressure on him was alleviated significantly.
“Let’s attack him from all sides and kill him!” an old beggar said.
The other three men nodded. With that, two of them continued to chase after him from behind while the other two ran past him on both sides in order to block his path ahead.
Nonetheless, Chu Li managed to slip away. He had already noticed their plan through the Omniscient Mirror, so the moment they began to execute their plan, he immediately changed direction and ran away before they could encircle him. In the end, the four men were still trailing behind him as they had failed to surround him.
The five of them started to go around in circles within this forest.
Chu Li was filled with inner energy, but the four old men were even more so. Their inner energy seemed limitless as they pursued him around the forest from night to day and from day to night again. Later on, they got rid of all distracting thoughts so that only one thought remained in their minds, ‘Catch up to him!’
Chu Li had no other choice since he was not much of a threat to them. While his White Tiger Killing Skill was powerful, the moment he performed it, he would have to go up against four tiger silhouettes simultaneously and would not be able to overpower them.
Under the pale moonlight, the four old men carried on chasing after Chu Li.
Chu Li was still full of vigor and showed no sign of exhaustion, but neither did the other four men. They had brought along sufficient pills and medicine. Whenever they felt hungry or thirsty, they would have something to eat or drink some water. The four of them would take turns to rest since it was good enough for three people to pursue Chu Li at a time.
They were secretly amazed at how tough and persistent this Zhao Dahe was.
Chu Li was also sighing in admiration. These four elderly men did not seem old at all. For Grandmasters, reaching a hundred years old was like entering mid-life. Therefore, at this age, these men would be in a robust and thriving state, and would also be at the peak of their physical capabilities.
Chu Li suddenly turned around and released a furious howl.
He had used Stupefying Howl at an unexpected moment.
The four men’s movements froze temporarily.
Chu Li swung both his hands and shot out two blades.
“Tsh, ts.h.!.+” The two blades flew toward two of their foreheads.
Just as the blades were about to strike them, the two men ducked and avoided the blades. Smug smiles appeared on their faces as they sped up abruptly to close the distance between them.
When Chu Li noticed his situation becoming disadvantageous, he performed Stupefying Howl again.
Unfortunately, this time, the four of them remained unaffected and quickly caught up to him. When they launched their tiger silhouettes, he had nowhere to hide.
“Bang bang…” Chu Li had only managed to dodge two of the tiger silhouettes and was sent flying by the other two.
