Seeing Li Renjie’s display of martial arts skills far surpa*sing his own, Zhai Ma, who was holding himself together, let out a sigh of relief and his tower-like body fell to the ground with a crash, lying among the broken bodies.
“Brother Zhai ——” Yang Bai saw Zhai Ma fall to the ground and hurriedly tried to run over to confirm his safety, but he was grabbed by Li Renjie’s shoulder.
“Don’t move, the crisis hasn’t been lifted yet. And Zhai Ma is still breathing.”
The poisonous mist had dispersed just in time, so Zhai Ma was still able to hang on strongly by his gong power. The most urgent task was still to repel the killers of the Green Dragon Society.
In the distant street, two blood-coloured figures, with six men in black, came with a strong killing spirit.
“To think that Lord Li is still an expert, no wonder he dares to come to the case with an a*sistant and a retainer.” One of the two blood-coloured figures stepped forward and said.
The man who spoke was clad in a blood-coloured cloak, and under the wide brim of his hood, only his chin could be faintly seen. However, judging from the two light axes, also blood-coloured, pinned to his waist, this man was none other than the former Axe King, now Blood Bat No. 1.
Originally, Blood Bat No. 1 had been completely cleansed of his sanity and was no different from those Purging Evil Sword Guards, unlike the other Blood Bat Guards who still had a residual sanity.
However, after Qing Yu had advanced to the Divine Origin, his mental power had increased greatly and he had obtained the “Ten Thousand Paths Moro” which used his mind as a blade, so he used the most secretive and dangerous of the Yin-Yang techniques, the “Soul Changing Method”, to reshape Blood Bat No. 1’s mind, making him a seemingly normal person.
The other blood-coloured figure, who did not make any disguise, with a blood-coloured shirt with a blood-coloured straight sword, was none other than Ji Tang, who had just joined the Green Dragon Society.
“a*sa*sins of the Green Dragon Society,” Li Renjie looked with an ugly face at these men who had come in a murderous mood, “do you know what you are doing? Attacking a court official is different from a*sa*sinating those from the Jianghu, the court’s wrath is something you cannot afford.”
“Who would know that it was us who attacked the court officials?” Blood Bat No.1 shook his head gently and asked rhetorically, “Besides, would the court really be furious? Not really.”
The teasing words caused Li Renjie’s heart to sink. This town was extremely remote, which was why the workshop for the Longevity San was located here; who would know who the murderer was if they killed someone and destroyed the trail?
Moreover, the other party did not care about revealing the trail, making it hard for Li Renjie not to suspect that all this was a killing game arranged by that person of prominent status.
“Hmm?” Li Renjie suddenly got his nose flapping and his face changed greatly, “Despicable!”
“Lord Li ——” Behind him, Yang Bai suddenly fell limply to the ground.
“To say despicable to the killer, Lord Li, is that you are too naive.” Blood Bat No.1 steeply lowered his body, like a big bloody bat, and slid towards Li Renjie close to the ground, with a bloody light axe in his hand cutting straight into Li Renjie’s feet.
At the same time, the blood knife was fierce, bringing up a fishy sweet wind, and Ji Tang held the knife to kill Li Renjie’s upper body.
The two men attacked at the same time, with an unknown powerful smoke in front of them, instantly killing Li Renjie.
However, Li Renjie did not panic and lifted his foot and swiftly thrust it behind the light axe swung by Blood Bat No.1. He swung his foot from side to side and kicked Blood Bat No.1’s left and right arms, and then added a kick to make him slide sideways.
His response to Ji Tang’s frontal attack was even easier, with his palms coming together and then pushing them apart like a child worshipping the Buddha, the powerful force of the palm sent Ji Tang flying backwards several feet, spitting blood in the air.
In a matter of moments, Blood Bat No.1 and Ji Tang were both defeated. Blood Bat No.1’s arms were broken by the powerful kick, while Ji Tang was even worse, as his ribs were broken several times as he fought the palm force head-on, and his right arm was twisted.
With such strength, there was only one possibility for Li Renjie to defeat the tenth of the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking in the blink of an eye, as well as Blood Bat No. 1 whose strength could be compared to the eighth and ninth.
“Divine Origin Realm.” Blood Bat No. 1 got up in a mess, his arms hanging limply by his side.
“Lord Li, no wonder you didn’t run in the face of us, it turns out that you have your own strength in mind.”
Li Renjie’s normally amiable face was now sober and serious, and he said in a cold voice: “You have committed the unforgivable crime of attacking an official of the court.
To be honest, Li Renjie was happy at this moment. He had been suffering from the lack of evidence to testify against the presumed nobleman, and could only eradicate the Changsheng San workshop everywhere in order to make the other party restrain itself. Today, however, the evidence came to him of its own accord.
If we can get these killers to reveal the name of that person, given the current trend of the court, that person will definitely be in trouble. The chance to eradicate the Eternal Life San might be caught in Li Renjie’s hands personally today.
“Oh, Lord Li, you haven’t won yet?” Blood Bat No. 1 laughed in a low voice, “Things are not over yet.”
“Demon Blade Guards, kill!”
With a command, the men in black who had been standing as if they were organs frozen in place were like an activation switch that had suddenly been pressed and drew their swords in unison.
These six black-clothed men, unlike the Pervasive Sword Guards who were wrapped in their night clothes, were dressed in black power suits, and their faces were not covered with scarves, but evil ghost masks made of black iron.
The six Demon Sword Guards burst out with a murderous aura, their eyes full of fierce blood, their long swords hanging down, but Li Renjie felt that these six swords would cut into his head at any moment, and the sweat on his body stood on end.
One step forward, as if the god of death from hell, the cold and piercing killing intent pointed straight at Li Renjie, causing his pupils to contract violently, feeling incomparably threatened.
“Using the “Absorbing Technique” to forcefully pile up true qi to the ninth level of Innate Heaven, and then releasing it several times with the “Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique”,” a figure wearing a bronze mask murmured in the distance as he looked at the six Demon Blade Guards, “The reason why the “Xiong Ba Tian” will make the practitioner go mad and kill more than once is because this Blade Technique uses evil methods to catalyse killing intent, causing it to alienate and disguise itself to achieve the effect of the outward release of spiritual power that only experts of the Divine Origin realm can have.”
“The Devil’s Blade Guard also possesses a true qi comparable to that of a Divine Origin realm martial artist, as well as a manifestation of killing intent similar to spiritual power, which is at least considered to have reached the threshold of the Divine Origin realm. Just how much combat power can be brought into play with such a configuration, Li Renjie, let you test it for me.”
——————
Three miles outside of the town, a group of monks were using their light skills and lifting themselves up to catch up.
Suddenly, the monk in the lead stopped in his tracks.
“Master Shi Jue, is there any change?” Immediately, a monk spoke out and asked.
“This direction.”
Shi Jue suddenly switched directions and hurried in the original direction to the left.
“Wait, Senior Brother Shi Jue, that is not the place we are going forward to.”
