Chapter 758: Entering the City

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Feng Changwen screamed in surprise and somersaulted away from his horseback while pulling out his long blade midair.

“Ding…” The long blade was deflected away in a split second.

Like a shadow, a stone struck the long blade with such force that it nearly shot the long blade out of Feng Changwen’s grasp.

When Feng Changwen felt the energy, he immediately knew who it was—Zhao Dahe!

He burst out in anger, “Zhao, why are you haunting me, do you have a death wish?”

Zhao Dahe took two big steps and came before Feng Changwen with a large slash of his blade. “Go and die!”

“Ding…” The blade descended with a huge force in a single vicious move.

Feng Changwen’s arm was still feeling numb as he fell backward while blocking Zhao Dahe with his blade in a horizontal position.

“Ding…” The long blade flew out of his grip. Feng Changwen then spun around and left while calling out. “Stop him!”

Ten Protectors have already surrounded the two of them, so as soon as Feng Changwen fled, they immediately moved forward and blocked Chu Li off.

Chu Li declared, “I’m only here to kill Feng Changwen, those who are not related should get lost unless you have a death wish!”

“You are arrogant!” A handsome young man said coldly. “Move aside if you’re still sensible and don’t want to be made into minced meat!”

As he watched Feng Changwen escaping at record speed, his expression turned furious. “Since you’re seeking your death, then die!”

He waved his long blade.

The ten Protectors were assigned by Three Wonders Clan to assist Feng Changwen in killing Zhao Dahe. They were capable but also haughty because they did not expect a martial art master to come out from this lowly town. They felt superior and looked down on Chu Li with a condescending gaze.

He mindlessly swung his blade as he tried to strike Chu Li before Chu Li could react.

The corners of Chu Li’s thick lips curled up into a smirk as his blade suddenly sped up.

“Ah!” The handsome Protector cried out as his body twisted away in horror. He could only be grateful that his head was spared.

Chu Li’s long blade came down upon him and the handsome Protector’s arm immediately fell to the ground.

Chu Li ignored his pathetic cries as he took big steps forward and swung his long blade horizontally at another Protector.

The Protector tried to guard with his blade but failed to block Chu Li’s attack. A split second later, a long blade was knocked away as a head simultaneously fell to the ground.

Chu Li walked forward with only his blade as protection.

Unless they retreated, anyone who tried to block him off would either die or get injured. One man was dissatisfied and continued wielding his blade in protest, but Chu Li ignored him and continued his slaughter with lightning speed, such that the man was beheaded before his blade could even scratch Chu Li.

Once the person’s head touched the ground, only six of the original ten martial art masters were left. They dared not stop him any longer and watched as Chu Li ran off like a wild horse and instantly vanished from their sight.

“Feng Changwen, where are you going?” Chu Li’s voice echoed.

Feng Changwen gnashed his teeth in frustration. The ten Protectors were elites chosen by his uncle, and though they could not compare to a Commander, they were considered top-notch masters among the Innate Masters.

They were much stronger than his previous Protectors but had still lost to Zhao Dahe. Thet had not just failed to stop him, they even failed to kill him. ‘They’re so useless!’ Thought Feng Changwen.

A sense of helplessness surged through him. No matter how good his Light-body Technique was, he could not defeat Zhao Dahe and could only run. If he wanted to finish off Zhao Dahe for good, he could only try to get help from his uncle; it did not matter what it took, he just wanted to kill Zhao Dahe.

As he thought of this, he ran in the direction of Luo State City with all his might.

“Feng, you b*astard tortoise!” Chu Li’s curses rang out unceasingly.

Feng Changwen realized that he could not get Zhao Dahe off his back. He thought to himself, ‘Logically speaking, my Light-bogy technique should be so good that I can outrun him, but why can’t get him off my trail?’

He slowed down, with the intention to see what tactics Zhao Dahe used to be able to keep up with him.

A moment later, Chu Li approached him.

Feng Changwen saw Chu Li’s legs moving like two wheels with such blinding speed that his legs looked like blurry shadows. He was running with raw power and it was apparent that he did not know how to use Light-body Technique.

He let out a mocking scoff and relaxed. Then, he felt his body lighten like a swallow’s, and with the support of his inner energy, he leaped onto a tree. His steps carried his body onto the treetops as he soon disappeared from Chu Li’s sight.

Chu Li ran into the forest and used his gleaming blade to chop down everything in his path as he continued chasing Feng Changwen without slowing down.

Feng Changwen noticed his actions from the treetop and burst into laughter while shaking his head. After that, he leaped onto a high mountain then crossed a wide river.

He did this by throwing a few logs into the river and hopping onto them. Then, he turned back and smirked at Chu Li smugly.

Chu Li immediately threw himself into the river before swimming with all his might until he crossed the river such that he could continue running after Feng Changwen.

Feng Changwen burst out in laughter.

Chu Li called out, “Feng, I’ll chase you down no matter where you go, be it the ends of the earth or the bottom of the ocean.”

“You don’t have to try so hard, I’ll tell you where I’m going.” Feng Changwen called out laughingly.

“Where?”

Feng Changwen cackled. “Three Wonders Clan in Luo State City. I’m going to find my uncle who’s a Commander of Three Wonders Clan. His name is Feng Xi, come if you dare!”

“Just you wait!” Chu Li growled.

Feng Changwen guffawed and turned to leave, using his Light-body Technique to cross the river again.

Chu Li harrumphed angrily, Feng Changwen was really cunning.

He knew what Feng Changwen was trying to do, but it was exactly what Chu Li wanted.

He wanted to get on Three Wonders Clan’s radar as fast as possible and enter the Holy Church of Light. While killing a few Three Wonders Clan’s members was a dangerous path to take, it was also a shortcut.

He could not tell if Three Wonders Clan would choose to take its revenge and get set on killing him or do the opposite and try to help him get into the Holy Church of Light, but it was a risk worth taking. If it did not work out, he could just eliminate Feng Changwen and enter the Holy Church of Light by pretending to be him.

…

Feng Changwen was sitting in front of a short fat guy, his expression calm.

They were in the backyard of a mansion in the west of Luo State City.

There was a lake in the backyard with a waterside pavilion where four beauties were admiring koi fish in the lake while leaning onto the rails, their embroidered clothes fluttering in the breeze as they occasionally giggled.

Feng Changwen and his uncle were sitting in a gazebo on top of a rockery where they could look down at the clear lake.

Feng Changwen stared enviously at the lake and glanced at the elegant beauties as he secretly sighed to himself. ‘When can I get to my uncle’s rank and own such a luxurious mansion as well as such beautiful ladies?’

“That fella would really dare to come into town to kill you?” Feng Xi inquired.

He had a short and fat physique; his round face showed no trace of nobility, but it was enough to make Feng Changwen tremble in his seat.

Feng Changwen nodded anxiously. “With his personality, he will definitely come into the city to hunt me down!”

Feng Xi nodded. “Mmm, that’s very good! I’ll spread the news and let him stumble right into our trap!”

“Thank you, uncle!” Feng Changwen did a fist salute.

Feng Xi advised. “You’ve got to make an effort too, you can’t keep relying on me. It’s still alright for this matter but I might not be able to help the next time around!”

“Yes, uncle.” Feng Changwen quickly nodded.

Feng Xi huffed. “Chivalry Association still has some ties with Three Wonders Clan so someone might just cover up for him, you must be careful!”

“Yes.” Feng Changwen nodded solemnly.

Feng Xi cast a sidelong glance at him. “You’re still incapable after all! You should start your isolated cultivation here from today onward, you’re not allowed to leave before you achieve the level of a perfected innate master!”

“…Yes, uncle.” Feng Changwen continued nodding helplessly.

Feng Xi glared at him. “Look at your unwilling attitude! You’ll thank me someday!”
