Chapter 29: Unexpected Visitor
"Hmph, brat, do you really think you can do anything by yourself? Don't be naive." Chi Ming snorted coldly. Although one of his arms was cut off by Chen Li, he would not let the other party go.
Not only did he want to cut off Chen Li's hands, he also wanted to destroy his cultivation and torture him to death.
Hong Yang, who was standing by, was quite surprised when he saw this. This kid's methods were quite cruel.
While they were still not able to react, he actually cut off one of his companion's arms.
Hong Yang was no pushover either, and he rushed directly towards Chen Li.
"You're coming straight at me. Do you really like to rush towards my sword?" Chen Li snorted coldly and stabbed out with his sword immediately.
Chen Li was surprised that just after he stabbed him, he disappeared from his sight like a phantom.
boom!
Chen Li felt a sharp pain in his stomach and took a few steps back.
If it weren't for the instinctive spiritual energy protecting my body, I would have died here miserably.
He stared at Hong Yang who appeared in front of him. What was wrong with this guy?
It disappeared just now , and appeared under him the next second.
"Illusion."
Chen Li muttered to himself, as if he had guessed something.
"It seems that you are not stupid. You are probably a disciple of a certain sect." Hong Yang laughed. Even if Chen Li knew about the illusion here, what would it matter?
Chen Li's ability is not enough to break his illusion.
Chen Li frowned and stared at the two people in front of him. It seemed that if he wanted to eliminate them, he would need to use some means.
That’s perfect, I’ll try out the Nether Thunder Technique on them.
The two looked at each other, obviously planning to attack from both sides.
Although Chi Ming had one hand broken, he was still able to move flexibly and rushed directly towards Chen Li.
He held a dagger in his hand and moved in a very strange manner.
Chen Li stood there holding a sword, without any movement, just silently practicing the Nether Thunder Technique.
Originally, Chi Ming was still some distance away from him, but when Chen Li came to his senses, this guy had already appeared in his sight.
Chen Li immediately swung his sword, but the opponent disappeared out of thin air just like Hong Yang just now.
He didn't dare to stay where he was and took a few steps back.
Just as Chen Li thought, Hong Yang and Chi Ming had apparently appeared at the place where he was just now.
"You have good luck, but luck won't help you win this battle." Chi Ming looked at Chen Li and said coldly.
Hong Yang didn't say a word and suddenly disappeared from Chen Li's sight, as if he had become invisible.
Chen Li glared around, it seemed that they really wanted to die.
He took a deep breath, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
There is no need to waste time with these people.
Chen Li's figure flashed, and the sword in his hand slashed forward to attack.
The first move missed, and Chi Ming took a few steps back. Behind Chen Li, Hong Yang had been waiting there for a long time and suddenly slapped him with his palm.
He was prepared and turned around and blasted out with the same weapon.
boom!
The spiritual energy spread, and a loud bang made Hong Yang take several steps back.
Hong Yang was a little shocked. The previous move made his arm a little painful, and his spiritual energy seemed to be a little disordered.
"Such a domineering spiritual energy." Hong Yang said in surprise.
Chen Li was surrounded by purple electric light, which was a benefit brought by practicing the Nether Thunder Art. It could transform his spiritual energy into armor and thus protect his body.
Although this move is very practical, it consumes a lot of spiritual energy.
With Chen Li's level of cultivation, he could sustain the operation of the Nether Thunder Art for almost half an hour.
He just didn't believe that he couldn't get rid of these two people in half an hour.
Thinking in his heart, Chen Li suddenly took a step forward and headed directly towards Chi Ming in front of him.
Chi Ming was shocked. This kid seemed to be even faster than before.
Because Hong Yang did not react in time and failed to perform the illusion in time, Chi Ming was hit very far away by this palm.
boom!
The whole person took several steps back, his face pale, and a mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth.
"Good boy, it seems that you really have some ability, but you have completely pissed me off. I must kill you today!" Chi Ming's eyes were red, staring at Chen Li in front of him.
In an instant, spiritual energy continued to burst out, forming a purple python in front of Chi Ming.
Behind Chen Li, Hong Yang had already made preparations, and a huge axe appeared.
Although it was indeed no problem to deal with the two of them, now that they had used their spiritual energy to transform into human form, it was a bit troublesome for Chen Li.
In a two-on-one situation, they would not give themselves the opportunity to use their spiritual energy to transform.
In the current situation, if we fail to respond correctly, we will surely die.
The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared and rushed towards Chi Ming in front of him.
boom!
Before Chi Ming could react, he was suddenly knocked to the ground.
Chen Li didn't expect that someone would come to help?
While he was amazed, he found that this person passed by him at a very fast speed and then went straight towards Hong Yang.
boom!
Another blow defeated Hong Yang.
The two were not killed, but were seriously injured.
Seeing this scene, Chen Li was a little surprised. Why would this person suddenly help him?
At this moment, Chen Li felt a dangerous aura.
He instinctively deployed all his defenses and slashed out with his sword.
He swung the sword almost unconsciously.
Coincidentally, the man just now had actually launched an attack on him.
"You are disturbing the public order of Tianxuan City. Do you really think that I, Luo Heng, am not here?" An astonishing momentum burst out from the long stick in Luo Heng's hand, directly breaking Chen Li's defense and forcing him to retreat several steps.
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Chen Li's mouth. He frowned and said, "After all, they were the ones who chased me first. If I don't fight back, do you want me to die here?"
Luo Heng looked at Chen Li, then at the two men. Although he did not knock Chen Li unconscious, he did not have much fighting power now, and he did not seem to have any intention of escaping, so he did not attack again.
"At least to me, you are the ones who disrupt the rules of Tianxuan City." Luo Heng said coldly.
Chen Li looked at the man in front of him. Judging from his appearance, he was about fifty years old, but his actual age was probably over a hundred years old.
He was wearing a black Taoist robe and holding a stick that reached his eyebrows. There was no spiritual energy emanating from him.
If he hadn't felt the almost fatal threat just now, he would probably have regarded this person as just an ordinary martial artist.
Chen Li took a deep breath and said, "So, they provoked me first, and I can only let them kill me?"
What kind of twisted logic is this? To Chen Li, if someone wants to kill him, he must fight back. Even if the person in front of him wants to kill him, he will never be afraid.
A figure suddenly came out of the inn, and when he saw Chen Li was injured, he hurried over.
"Injured?" Lin Yumu was very worried when she saw Chen Li was injured. She quickly rummaged through her storage bag and finally found the healing pill, which she handed to him.
Chen Li took it and asked in surprise, "Why did you come out?"
"I came out when I heard the sound of fighting just now. How did you get injured so badly?" Lin Yumu said with some concern.
Chen Li smiled bitterly. He was not seriously injured just now, but he took the blow from the man named Luo Heng in front of him, which turned his minor injury into a serious one.
"Why? Are you still worried about me?" Chen Li said jokingly.
Lin Yumu's pretty face flushed, and she slapped Chen Li's body . After a long while, she finally managed to utter these words: "Who is worried about you? I was just thinking that if you were injured, I would have to delay my trip to Tianyun Mountain for several days."
When he heard the words "Tianyun Mountain", Luo Heng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "You guys are going to Tianyun Mountain?"
Chen Li snorted coldly, "So what? Are you still planning to stop us from going?"
Luo Heng waved his hand, "Tianyun Mountain is not under the jurisdiction of Tianxuan City, so I naturally don't care. But Tianyun Mountain has been plagued by disasters recently. Besides, before you go to Tianyun Mountain, you need to do one thing."
One more thing you need to do?
Is this person the kind of person who has a sharp tongue but a soft heart?
Chen Li became a little confused.
"You say." Chen Li said.
Luo Heng said slowly: "You have disturbed the public order of Tianxuan City. You need to go to Yingming Hall with me for investigation. If you really have no suspicion, then I will naturally let you go to Tianyun Mountain. But if you do, don't blame me for being rude."
Chen Li was a little unhappy, then he laughed, "I thought you would be kind enough to tell me what preparations to make, but it turns out it's just for this so-called official business."
"As the head of Yingmingtang, I, Luo Heng, naturally need to act impartially." Luo Heng said very seriously.
Chen Li didn't think much about it. After all, the innocent are innocent. Since this person wants to investigate, just let him do it.
Lin Yumu suddenly stood there motionless, muttering Luo Heng's name.
"Luo Heng, are you Uncle Luo?" Lin Yumu suddenly turned his head to look at Luo Heng over there, and asked in surprise.
Luo Heng was a little surprised at first, but after seeing Lin Yumu's face in front of him, Luo Heng was immediately stunned.
"Yu Mu?" Luo Heng asked tentatively.
Lin Yumu nodded, "It's me, I'm Yumu."
Luo Heng was very shocked. He didn't expect that he would see Lin Yumu in Tianxuan City.
"I really didn't expect that a girl like you would come to Tianxuan City." A smile appeared on Luo Heng's serious face.
Lin Yumu nodded, "Yeah, I didn't expect that Uncle Luo would be in Tianxuan City."
"It's a long story. Why don't we go to Ying Mingtang to discuss it? We can take this kid there for interrogation." When Luo Heng looked at Chen Li, his tone became a little unfriendly.
Even when Luo Heng looked at Chen Li again, there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
Chen Li had never expected this. They were all people he knew, so why did his alert look not decrease but instead made him even angrier?
There is no need to think too much about these things. Since Lin Yumu and Luo Heng know each other, it is not a bad idea to go with them. Maybe you can get to know something useful.
Lin Yumu looked at Chen Li, seemingly asking for his opinion.
Chen Li nodded, "Then let's go over and take a look."
"You have no choice. Even if you don't go, I will take you there." After Luo Heng said this, he took Chi Ming and Hong Yang away.
As for Chen Li, he was quite unhappy with Luo Heng, but in the end, with the help of Lin Yumu, he left here and went to Yingmingtang.
