Chapter 1151: Killing Them All

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Mysterious Pavilion?” Chu Li’s spirits rose.

It was because of Mysterious Pavilion that Chu Li had decided to come to the Zheng Dynasty. He wanted to take this opportunity to destroy Mysterious Pavilion and fulfill the promise he had made to King Ping.

Of course, acquiring the Heavenly King Palm had also become another goal of his at that point. However, the main reason Chu Li wanted to acquire this technique was not to learn it but to study this person called Wu Cheng, who was also known as Heavenly King Palm. Since this guy had succeeded in becoming an Enlightened Master by cultivating the Heavenly King Palm, perhaps there was some mystery hidden within its heart technique.

As Sun Yucheng glided up to a tree, Elder Su and Elder Ren leaped into the air and followed closely behind him while they turned around to look at the two approaching groups of riders.

Chu Li asked, “The group at the back is from Mysterious Pavilion?”

“Yes,” Elder Su replied with a frown. “The Zheng Dynasty’s Mysterious Pavilion is unbelievably overbearing. These young ladies seem quite spirited and quick-witted!”

“It would be best if we don’t interfere in this matter,” Elder Ren said quietly.

A pitying look appeared on Sun Yucheng’s face as he stared at the four beautiful and elegant young girls from a distance.

Elder Su and Elder Ren could tell that the situation was going to take a bad turn soon as they knew very well that all men with the surname Sun from the Li Dynasty were womanizers who simply could not resist any woman because of their tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex.

“Young Master, we’re here to carry out an important task. It’ll be a very troublesome situation if we end up offending Mysterious Pavilion!” Elder Ren remarked.

“Mysterious Pavilion!” Sun Yucheng muttered and huffed.

Although he knew that Elder Su and Elder Ren were right, he could not bear to see these young girls suffer.

They most likely would not manage to acquire the Heavenly King Palm if they got into trouble with Mysterious Pavilion. However, it was a truly unforgivable sin to allow these four beautiful girls to be harmed or killed. Sun Yucheng would consider himself a sinner if he had to look on without doing anything while these beauties got killed.

He felt torn and could not make up his mind.

Elder Su quickly said, “Let’s observe the situation first. They might not necessarily be trying to kill these young ladies. Perhaps this is just a harmless battle.”

Sun Yucheng sighed in relief and replied happily, “You’re right. Let’s observe the situation first!”

Chu Li said, “These four young ladies seem pretty skillful too.”

“Neigh!” The horse in the lead let out a long whine as it suddenly collapsed to the ground while its mouth started to foam. It had been too exhausted and had run itself to death.

The young girl on the horse glided up to a tree and then swiftly made her way to another horse to sit behind one of her companions as the three horses continued to charge forward.

Nonetheless, all of their horses were already very tired, so the moment this young girl landed on this other horse, its speed reduced drastically.

The young girl turned around and glanced at the black-robed riders who were closing the distance between them. Then, she leaped off the horse and shouted, “The three of you should leave first. I’ll hold them off!”

“Senior Sister Liu!” the three other young girls called out. “Don’t do it!”

The young girl gracefully glided toward the approaching black-robed riders and unsheathed her sword before stabbing at the frontmost rider.

“Hmph!” The frontmost rider was a square-faced middle-aged man who had a stern look on his face. He laughed coldly and thrust his palm forward.

“Tsh!” The young girl’s sword tip pierced through his palm energy, and she pressed on with her attack.

“Ding...” The middle-aged man hit the sword blade with his palm and sent the young girl flying out of his way.

“Senior Sister Liu!” The three other girls leaped off their horses and glided toward her.

“Tsh, tsh, tsh...” A continuous stream of hidden weapons was shot toward the three of them.

“Ding, ding, ding, ding...” An endless ringing sound echoed as the girls swung their swords around to ward off the hidden weapons while they made their way to their senior sister. Then, the four young girls landed on the ground simultaneously and stood facing four directions to form a sword array.

The ten riders reined in their horses and surrounded the four girls.

Their horses continuously circled the young girls restlessly while the riders searched for a weak point in the sword array.

Meanwhile, the four young girls stood motionless with their swords in hand like four gorgeous jade statues, appearing to be unfazed by the riders who were circling them.

“A sword array,” Elder Su said in shock. “It seems like they’re disciples of a famous sect!”

Sword arrays were almost nonexistent in the Li Dynasty whereas some of the major sects and factions in the Fu Dynasty still preserved their sword arrays. As for the Zheng Dynasty, only a few of their famous sects and factions had sword arrays, so these four young girls probably had a powerful backing.

“Elder Su, if the situation turns desperate, we have to save them!” Sun Yucheng said in a low voice.

“Young Master...” Elder Su replied in resignation.

Elder Ren lowered his voice and muttered, “Everyone has their own fate. We shouldn’t interfere in this matter.”

“No way!” Sun Yucheng shook his head firmly and said, “I can’t bring myself to sit by and look on while these beauties get injured. My conscience won’t allow it. Otherwise, I won’t be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life!”

He had straightened out his thinking. Human lives were more important than the Heavenly King Palm, especially when it came to the lives of beautiful girls.

“Young Master, it’ll be disastrous if we get into trouble with this group of people from Mysterious Pavilion!” Elder Su protested.

Chu Li asked, “Is Mysterious Pavilion capable of going up against the Holy Church of Light?”

“Of course not,” Elder Su replied.

Chu Li smiled faintly and said, “Well then, that settles it. It shouldn’t be a big deal even if we offend them!”

“We’re not in the Li Dynasty right now but the Zheng Dynasty!” Elder Su replied while he shook his head. “Mysterious Pavilion has more influence here. We’ll be making this trip in vain if we end up offending them. In that case, we can forget about going to the Ascending Dragon Mountain.”

Chu Li looked at Sun Yucheng. “Since Young Master has decided to save their lives rather than acquiring the Heavenly King Palm at the moment, let’s save these young ladies first and come again to look for the Heavenly King Palm in the future!”

“Indeed, indeed.” Sun Yucheng nodded eagerly.

He glanced at Chu Li in approval and felt that Chu Li was his kindred spirit. Despite his unattractive appearance, Chu Li was not as cold-blooded as Elder Su and Elder Ren. Both of their hearts had become as hard as stone seeing as they would only consider their self-interest and would not show any concern for others.

Sun Yucheng found people like Zhao Dahe more dependable.

“Attack!” the middle-aged rider ordered with a huff.

As the ten men leaped off their horses and rose into the air, some of them threw out punches and launched their attacks from a distance while others drew their swords and stabbed at the girls.

There were four Grandmasters among them who were using fist techniques. Meanwhile, the remaining six men were innate masters and were using sword techniques to attack the four young girls.

“Hum...” As the girls waved their swords preparing to receive the ten men’s attacks, their sword blades quivered violently and gave off a wavering reflection that looked like light ripples on a water’s surface.

“Ding, ding, ding, ding...” An endless sound of clashing swords rang out, and the four young girls stood steadily in their original spots as the ten black-robed men could not break through their sword array just yet.

Elder Su muttered, “As expected, they must be disciples from a famous sect!”

Out of these four young girls, only one was a Grandmaster while the other three were innate masters. By right, they should be far inferior to the ten men from Mysterious Pavilion in terms of strength and numbers. Nonetheless, they had managed to defend themselves in this situation. This was truly a rare sight.

However, the young girls were still at a disadvantage since the fist forces from the Grandmasters were too overwhelming. As the Grandmasters forcefully pressed on with their fist attacks and tried to overpower their opponents with brute force, the girls’ profound sword array began to lose its effectiveness against them. Sure enough, there was too big of a gap between their martial arts skills, so it was impossible for the young girls to turn the situation around.

“Let’s save them now,” Sun Yucheng said anxiously.

Elder Su replied, “Young Master, now isn’t the right time yet. Let’s save them after they’ve fallen into a desperate situation. Then, we’ll be providing help when they most need it, and they’ll appreciate it more.”

Sun Yucheng shook his head. “There’s no need to be so pretentious. Let’s just launch an attack on these men and drive them away right now.”

Chu Li muttered, “We can just kill them!”

“Kill them?” The three of them looked at him in shock.

Chu Li explained, “We can carry on searching for the Heavenly King Palm after killing them. By the time Mysterious Pavilion finds out about this, we’ll be back in the Li Dynasty!”

“But there are four Grandmasters among them!” Sun Yucheng replied nervously.

Chu Li chuckled. “It’s just four Grandmasters. Leave them to me!”

“This is too risky.” Elder Su laughed with uncertainty.

It was extremely difficult to kill Grandmasters because they possessed an acute intuition and boundless inner energy, which allowed them to activate their secret skills and escape whenever they were about to lose a battle.

Chu Li said, “Let’s just give it a try first!”

With that, he disappeared abruptly and reappeared behind a middle-aged man, who was, in fact, the leader of the group.

The middle-aged man was about to launch a punch when he suddenly sensed something odd about the situation. As soon as this sudden sense of foreboding appeared in his heart, the middle-aged man quickly tried to dodge the incoming attack but a cold streak of light had already pierced through his chest.

Chu Li swung his hands simultaneously and threw out more flying blades at the other men.

Grandmasters were capable of accurately sensing danger, but these men were still unable to react in time since they were too close to Chu Li and his Light Blade was simply too fast. Thus, although their intuition had been warning them of the approaching danger, they could only look on helplessly while the flying blades shot through their chests.

Chu Li continued to swing his hands without stopping until he had killed all ten of them.
