Chu Li stared at the square-faced Elder, deep in thought.
The square-faced Elder frowned, watching what Chu Li was doing.
The round-faced Elder snorted impatiently, “Senior Brother, you’re too cautious. Just kill him! What else is there to say?”
Chu Li shook his head and smiled at the round-faced Elder. “Senior Brother? Did you know that your Senior Brother is someone from the Heavenly Demon Sect? I can still distinguish the aura of the Heavenly Demonic Power.”
“The Heavenly Demon Sect?” The round-faced Elder’s expression changed.
The square-faced Elder’s expression remained the same. “This little fellow is quite quick-witted.”
The round-faced Elder relaxed. It seemed that this guy was just making a last-ditch attempt before dying. He was truly vicious. To be this ruthless at his age, he could not be left alive!
Chu Li smiled. “What a coincidence. I’m also cultivating Heavenly Demonic Power.”
Chu Li’s face suddenly changed. His nose drooped slightly, his eyes lengthened and narrowed, and his mouth widened quite a bit. With just this slight difference, Chu Li suddenly became a person completely different from the previous Du Feng. He no longer had any trace of handsomeness and was instead ugly and abnormal. It gave others a feeling of discomfort.
He smiled and asked, “What do you think of my level of attainment?”
As Chu Li spoke, his appearance changed once again In the blink of an eye, he became almost exactly the same as the round-faced Elder.
He did not know what wonderful uses came after the sixth level of the Heavenly Demonic Power, and had to explore slowly. The transformation was even more brilliant and only required a thought. Furthermore, Chu Li had the Omniscient Mirror and could see his own face, so it was easy to change into the face of another person.
The round-faced Elder was dumbstruck as his heart chilled.
Chu Li smiled at the square-faced Elder. “How is it? Is my Heavenly Demonic Power impressive?”
“It really is the Heavenly Demonic Power!” The square-faced Elder sneered, “Still, so what? The Heavenly Demonic Power isn’t good for combat. You can’t escape!”
“It seems like Senior is determined to fight until the end and will not admit it.” Chu Li shook his head. “Is it worth it though? If Senior and I join hands, it’ll be enough to kill him.”
“Shut your mouth!” The round-faced Elder snorted angrily. “Did you think I’ll believe you? The Heavenly Demonic Power can indeed change appearances, but it doesn’t make one omniscient. Appearances can also reveal clues!”
Chu Li shook his head and sighed, “You’re hopeless.”
The round-faced Elder silently took a few steps away from the square-faced Elder. Although the Heavenly Demonic Sect guy in front of him was not trustworthy, he was not completely unbelievable either. It was better to take it as the truth, just in case it really was.
The square-face Elder said, “I’d like to have a taste of the Heavenly Demonic Power!”
Like a ghost, he instantly appeared near Chu Li and slammed his hands down. His two palms were white like jade with a touch of rouge adding some beauty to it. It was a pure Blood Jade Palm.
The round-faced Elder scoffed, “If Senior Brother was from the Heavenly Demonic Sect, how would he know our Blood Jade Palm? It’s ridiculous the way you tried to sow discord, you runt!”
“Hm… we’ll just say that I was trying to sow discord. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone who continues to count money for the person who sold him1.” Chu Li shook his head and sighed. He looked at the square-faced Elder with a smile and said, “How admirable!”
He said casually while avoiding the palm.
The square-faced Elder frowned and attacked again from afar.
Chu Li easily dodged again.
The square-faced Elder scoffed, “Junior Brother, let’s work together!”
“Yes!” The round-faced Elder nodded and went around behind Chu Li.
Chu Li turned, and the attacks came from his flanks.
His face was still pale as he had not recovered from his exhaustion, but Chu Li was not in a hurry. The Limb of G.o.d kept him in an invincible position and he could leave at any time. However, now that he had found a disciple of the Heavenly Demonic Sect, it was like obtaining treasure. He would not give it up that easily.
The two Blood Jade Palms were not only refined but also exquisite, pressuring Chu Li until he was out of breath.
Chu Li fought back with the Cloud Slas.h.i.+ng Palm, his inner energy refined. Although he was pressured to the brink of collapse, he could still hold on.
The two Elders grew angrier, wanting to put an end to him in one breath. They became more distracted as they grew closer.
“Bang!”
The square-faced Elder suddenly gave Chu Li a meaningful glance before fiercely launching a palm towards the round-faced Elder, but it was caught by the round-faced Elder. Their two palms met head-on.
The round-faced Elder said gravely, “Senior Brother, what are you doing?”
Though he seemed to be desperately attacking Chu Li, he had always been vigilant and cautious. He was skeptical of Chu Li’s words and did not dare to be careless. He had already prepared for the worst, guarding against his companion while dealing against Chu Li.
This palm let him completely understand that Chu Li was right.
His heart sank as he turned away.
Chu Li stopped and grinned at the round-faced Elder’s distancing figure.
The square-faced Elder suddenly sped up and followed after the round-faced Elder, launching a palm towards him. “Junior Brother, let me explain!”
“What is there to explain!” The round-faced Elder avoided the attack, “What did you do to my Senior Brother!? …Did you already kill him?”
“Ah… Junior Brother, I am your Senior Brother!” The square-faced Elder said helplessly, “I simply cultivated the Heavenly Demonic Power!”
“That’s impossible!” The round-faced Elder said, “You must have killed my Senior Brother!”
“Junior Brother, do you remember when we first entered the sect, we were both punished by Master and thrown into the Blood Coagulating Pool for two days and nights? Who was it who saved you?” The square-faced Elder said helplessly. “Have I said anything wrong?”
“Are you really Senior Brother?” The round-faced Elder was shocked.
The square-faced Elder said, “Of course I am!”
“Then why did you attack me?!” The round-faced Elder scoffed.
“That’s because I’m not just a disciple of the Church of the Divine Blood, but also a disciple of the Heavenly Demonic Sect.” The square-faced Elder grunted. “When I entered the Church of the Divine Blood, it was on the orders of the Heavenly Demonic Sect. If this were to be exposed, two hundred years of effort would be made useless, and it would bring trouble to my disciples too!”
“You really hid a lot!” The round-faced elder scoffed as his Blood Jade Palm intensified.
The square-faced Elder retreated and said, “Junior Brother, as a disciple of the Heavenly Demonic Sect, I only hid when entering the Church of the Divine Blood. I’ve never done anything that would harm the Church of the Divine Blood. I swear on that!”
“Who would believe you!” The round-faced elder said coldly.
Chu Li coughed lightly. “Do you want me to help silence him?”
“Fine!” The square-faced elder said lowly.
“Senior Brother—!” The round-faced Elder cried in disbelief.
The square-faced elder shook his head and sighed, “If you want to blame anything, blame the fact that you found out about my ident.i.ty. Don’t blame me, Junior Brother!”
Chu Li smiled in secret and charged towards the round-faced Elder.
The round-faced Elder roared in anger. Suddenly, his body shrunk and narrowed drastically. His eyes revealed a faint red glint, and a red light covered his body. He madly lunged towards the square-faced Elder without regard for his safety.
Chu Li figure slowed, as if hesitating.
The square-faced Elder retreated as he fought and cried, “Help me, quickly!”
Chu Li charged over.
The round-faced Elder turned and smashed a palm towards Chu Li, his palms crystal clear.
The square-faced elder’s eyes were also red as his body thinned. He was using his secret skill and slammed his palm towards Chu Li. The two palms worked in harmony, pressing against Chu Li.
The two’s cooperated with tacit understanding, and the palm energy seemed to meld into one, merging into a wild wave that washed over Chu Li, instantly appearing in front of him to devour him.
