She suddenly withdrew her contemptuous thoughts and huffed, “Fine, you’re definitely pretending to be deaf!”

The old man pointed at his ear and shook his finger to show that he could not hear her before waving his hands outward, indicating for her to leave.

Yang Ying roared in anger, “I want to see Zhao Dahe!”

The old man merely shook his head in rejection.

Yang Ying knew that he could not hear her and decided not to utter another word. Instead, with a jump, she tried to force her way in.

“Thud!” An invisible wall of gas prevented her from going forward. She could only slide towards the base of the wall, glaring hatefully at the old man as she did so.

All she could see was the old man’s outstretched hand that had stopped her from moving forward.

However, this old man possessed an incomparable inner strength against which she could not fight at all. She wanted to use the Black Tiger Heart Hollowing Fist against him, but she also did not have the heart to do so either. He was already so old, what if she actually killed him?

The old man stretched his hand out once more, motioning her to take her to leave.

“Hmph, I insist on going in!” Yang Ying sneered before sending a punch towards the old man.

The old man stepped sideways to avoid it instead of facing it head-on.

Yang Ying originally thought that the old man would receive her punch, thus giving her an opportunity to enter the house. She never once expected that the old man would avoid it instead. In desperation, she sent out yet another punch. However, the old man avoided it as well and the punch did not land on him

Yang Ying grumbled in frustration and could no longer help concentrating on her efforts.

“Hiss hiss hiss hiss…” Her small, pale fists made soft whistles as her fist force concentrated together like sharp darts which had been thrown out one after another. Small pits started appearing in the ground and soon these pits grew deeper and deeper.

The old man dodged everything easily, always narrowly avoiding her punches each time.

Yang Ying had sent out more than a hundred punches in a single breath and the ground behind the old man was filled densely with small pits.

However, he was still completely at ease, not the least bit breathless.

“Very well, who exactly are you!” roared Yang Ying.

She had long realized something was wrong. If he was really just an old man, how was it possible for him to be not at all breathless after evading so many attacks?

The old man smiled before he removed the beard above his lips and the eyebrows stuck above his eyes to reveal Chu Li’s face.

“You… You…” Yang Ying glared angrily at him before stabbing a finger into his direction. “You’re despicable!”

Chu Li replied, “You finally understand that? Do you want to keep fighting?”

He had seen Yang Ying heading toward him with an aggressive aura through the Omniscient Mirror. An idea struck him as his mischievousness roared to life, so he decided to play this little trick.

Not only did he think that this would be quite amusing, he had also wanted her to be aware of the overwhelming odds against her. If she could not even get past the main entrance, where would she find the self-respect to challenge Zhao Dahe?

It would have been best if Yang Ying had not realized something was wrong so that everything could go without a hitch.

However, Yang Ying had discovered the strangeness of the situation, so he might as well admit it.

“Of course I want to keep fighting!” Yang Ying continued, “You keep evading my attacks, does that mean you can’t receive even one punch from me?”

“Black Tiger Heart Hollowing Fist, huh….” Chu Li said, “Very well, I’ll make you give up hope completely!”

“Hmph, watch as I defeat you with a single attack!” Yang Ying was brimming with confidence as she sent a fist flying toward him.

Chu Li sent a fist toward her as well—Divine Light Fist.

“Bang!” Both fists collided and their clothes started rustling loudly as if a strong gust of wind was blowing against them.

Yang Ying staggered in her spot like an extremely strong force was pushing her backward.

Chu Li remained unmoving in his own spot, his arms crossed against his chest as he watched her.

“You…” Yang Ying managed to stop after being forced about ten steps back. She felt like she had just gone through a turbulent storm where she could not find her footing at all. She was shocked to the core.

She was endowed with superior innate talent and extraordinary strength, the latter which she had solely depended on to defeat an Innate Master. Furthermore, she even mastered the Black Tiger Heart Hollowing Fist, one of the Black Tiger Sect’s hardest fist techniques as its tyrannical power was even more powerful than the White Tiger Killing Skill.

She had complete confidence that she would be able to defeat Chu Li. Even though he had killed five Elders using his Light Blade, Zhao Dahe had no other skills that could compare to her.

However, she finally understood that her cultivation level was inferior to Zhao Dahe.

Chu Li smiled, “You let me win!”

Yang Ying harrumphed. “You’re powerful, I’ll give you that.”

Chu Li flicked his hand outwards a few times, motioning for her to leave.

Yang Ying said, “I’ll definitely be back!”

“I won’t accept any more of your challenges.” Chu Li continued, “Defeating a woman is never an admirable victory.”

“Hmph, Tian Luo Sect is made up entirely of women, and your Holy Church of Light is made up of mostly women as well!” Yang Ying pursed her lips before continuing, “You look down on women and never fight hand to hand with them, you’re such an arrogant and self-centered man!”

Chu Li shook his head without a word.

Yang Ying suddenly sent a fist flying straight towards Chu Li’s head.

Chu Li stepped sideways to avoid it.

“Ding!” A loud sound could be heard as Yang Ying’s fist force sent a person in gray flying.

The person in gray was originally going to land a sneak attack on Chu Li. However, they never expected that Chu Li would be able to avoid the attack and that they would suffer a punch instead. The punch was as powerful as a great wave and the force was enough to send the person and their sword flying more than twenty meters away.

“Ding!” Yang Ying turned around to land another punch on someone behind her.

A person in gray flew outward with their sword as well.

“Chi! Chi!” Two people in gray stretched outward from both sides of the wall, sending two hidden weapons flying towards Chu Li.

Chu Li waved both his hands in return.

“Ugh…” The two people in gray went rigid before their hands went against their throats as their eyes went wide. With muffled sounds of struggling, they fell downward and slammed into the wall.

Chu Li’s body shifted in and out of view before he was grabbing onto Yang Ying’s sleeve to pull her out of the range of the hidden weapon. He then released his grip and swung his hands outwards again.

“Ugh! Ugh!” Two groans of pain later, the people in gray behind and in front of them fell downward with their hands around their throat as well.

Yang Ying stared at Chu Li’s hands in amazement.

Chu Li opened his hands to show that they were empty and smiled. “I don’t have any knives on my hands, but I do have them in my heart!”

Suddenly, he swung his right hand outwards once more.

“Ugh…” A person in gray fell toward the floor from above his head. The person had their hand around their throat and eyes wide open as they struggled to breathe. However, their struggles were all for naught, for their eyes closed and their legs went limp as they heaved their last breath.

Yang Yang’s eyes widened.

Chu Li then said, “This is Light Blade’s ninth tier, will you be able to defend against it?”

Yang Ying’s immediately pulled herself together and acted as if she had not been shocked just before. She huffed, “I can’t defend against it now, but that doesn’t mean I can’t defend against it in the future!”

Chu Li shook his head. “None of the martial arts of the White Tiger Sect can stop Light Blade, so I think it’s better if you return now.”

“Zhao Dahe, don’t be so full of yourself. I’ll definitely defeat you!” exclaimed Yang Ying.

Chu Li merely smiled in response.

Yang Ying then turned and left.

“Chi!” A person in gray suddenly emerged from the corner of the wall and shot at Yang Ying.

Yang Ying sent a fist their way, her face pulled tight with anger, and the person in gray immediately went flying towards Chu Li like a stone bullet.

Chu Li waved a hand and the person in gray fell to the floor with their hand around their throat before quickly kicking the bucket.

“Who are they?” Yang Ying stopped to shout, “Just to let you know, they’re not from our White Tiger Sect!”

Chu Li smiled. “Does the White Tiger Sect have to resort to a method like this?”

“Hmph, that’s not bad!” Yang Ying continued, “Besides, these fellows are not worthy at all. They’re merely here to send themselves to their graves, we would never stoop to such ordinary levels.”

Chu Li nodded his head. “They’re merely here to test me, so they’re probably not sent by some of the influential parties from Gale City.”

“You’ve offended a lot of people.” Yang Ying asked curiously, “Do you know who it could be?”

Chu Li shook his head in response.

“What type of people have you offended?” continued Yang Ying.

Chu Li smiled and answered, “I’ve offended all the influential parties of Gale City.”

“Then forget it, it’s better for you to counter every trick that is set against you.” Yang Ying waved her hand dismissively. “Be careful not to die, I still have to defeat you!”
