White-Robed Chief-Chapter 1182 - Entering the Cliff
Chapter 1182: Entering the Cliff
Lu Zhengjun realized that he could not underestimate this little brat in front of him. After all, he made a name for himself. His reputation was not based on a fluke. His Light-body Technique was terrifying, while his cultivation was quite deep, He really had to be cautious here, otherwise, he might actually become the Goliath to Chu Li’s David.
Lu Guangdi stood quite a distance away. The impact was monstrous when two top-level masters unleashed their inner energy. To the average Joe, it would be akin to a natural disaster.
“Senior Lu, are you acquainted with Xiao Yueling?” Chu Li asked.
Lu Zhengjun answered, “Naturally! I even know that she’s your Public House’s branch family’s daughter. She should be your aunt right?”
“That’s right.” Chu Li smiled. “So in a sense, we’re all one big family here sparring, let’s not put our lives on the line.”
“Fair enough.” Lu Zhengjun nodded as he smiled. “Rest assured, I won’t harm your life. I’ll at most just cripple your cultivation. An eye for an eye, am I right?”
Chu Li chuckled. “If you say that, then, wouldn’t it mean that my cultivation will definitely be gone after this?”
“It’s good that you understand.” Lu Zhengjun stated, “If it was not for Yueling, I would’ve slaughtered you, why would I bother talking nonsense with you?”
Chu Li sighed. “Alright, if you want to cripple my cultivation, then it’ll all depend on your skills, Senior Lu. If you may…”
He pulled out his sword from his scabbard and pointed it at Lu Zhengjun.
Lu Zhengjun merely spat. “Then, make your move!”
As soon as Chu Li thrust out his sword, he instantly appeared in front of Lu Zhengjun, almost like it was a flash of lightning.
Lu Zhengjun lightly stepped to the side as he easily avoided the sword. At the same time, he flicked his finger at Chu Li.
Chu Li turned to his side and dodged the finger force.
However, this finger force could turn. After he managed to dodge the attack, it suddenly jolted back. It made no sound and could not be avoided without prior knowledge.
Chu Li’s Omniscient Mirror managed to see through the gimmick of this finger force, allowing Chu Li to dodge once more before thrusting his sword again.
Seeing that his opponent dodged this finger force, Lu Zhengjun changed over to a striking technique. His strikes felt like a bronze hammer, with each punch hammering away precisely at Chu Li’s long sword. In just a blink of an eye, Chu Li had his back up against a wall.
“Senior Lu, what kind of striking technique is that?”
Lu Zhengjun shook his head. “Herculean Demon Fist.”
Chu Li asked, “Is that a Green Deer Cliff antique study?”
“You still haven’t seen a Green Deer Cliff antique study.” Lu Zhengjun plainly stated, “And you definitely won’t with your current level.”
Chu Li’s sword suddenly shined even brighter. “Senior, what about this sword?”
The speed of his sword was extremely quick, far surpassing the Herculean Demon Fist’s striking speed. The Herculean Demon Fist was powerful, but its punches were slow. It looked extremely sluggish. To a normal person, they might not be able to see any openings, but when it was pitted against Chu Li’s swift sword techniques, it started to feel slower and slower with each clash.
“Alright!” Lu Zhengjun lightly shouted. Suddenly, almost like a white crane, his body started to turn light. Seemingly as light as feathers, as the sword was thrust towards him, he followed suit by drifting backward. The distance between this man and the sword was kept at a constant one-meter radius.
Chu Li frowned as he waved his sword faster and faster.
Lu Zhengjun felt as if his entire body had become weightless. No matter how fast Chu Li swung and thrust his sword, Lu Zhengjun kept moving along with the sword.
Chu Li had never seen this kind of ancient study, he asked in awe, “What kind of technique is this?”
“Dancing Crane Technique,” Lu Zhengjun answered.
In an attempt to finish Chu Li off, he suddenly shot out several finger forces at the same time. All of these finger forces could curve around. There was no dodging it.
With a poof, Chu Lu appeared behind Lu Zhengjun, completely escaping the bombardment of the finger forces. He proceeded to thrust his sword right towards Lu Zhengjun’s spine.
“Tink…” Lu Zhengjun suddenly turned around to deflect the blade.
With one strike of the finger, Chu Li felt his entire body go numb, almost like he was just struck by lightning.
He was quite shocked as he suddenly thought about his bout with the master at Hai Cang Mountain. The reason he suffered a huge loss there was because of this attack. Almost like lightning, it instantly halted his moves, having a similar effect as the Petrifying Finger.
“Bam!” Lu Zhengjun suddenly appeared in front of Chu Li. Before Chu Li could even react, Lu Zhengjun struck him in the abdomen and was sent flying, spurting blood in the air. Then, he fell straight down.
Lu Zhengjun shook his head and smiled, this palm had crippled Chu Li’s cultivation.
As Chu Li dropped to the ground, a long screech could suddenly be heard. Then, his body suddenly expanded, almost like a balloon being pumped with air, as he got blasted into the sky like a rocket, disappearing from sight.
“Hurry up and kill him!” Lu Guangdi urged.
Lu Zhengjun shook his head. “It’s fine, his cultivation had already been crippled.”
“Take this opportunity to take his life! Why aren’t you finishing him off?” Lu Guangdi hurriedly questioned.
Lu Zhengjun merely stated, “His cultivation has already been crippled, isn’t it a piece of cake to kill him now? We can deal with him at any time.”
“He’s a sly and cunning fellow, he might be able to escape,” Lu Guangdi stated.
Lu Zhengjun added, “Do you think he has the Heavenly Primary Pill? Do you think he can instantly recover his cultivation?”
“Of course not.” Lu Guangdi spat.
Lu Zhengjun continued, “Then when you regain your cultivation, you can just go kill him.”
“…You’re forcing me to take the Heavenly Primary Pill, aren’t you?!” Lu Guangdi glared at his father.
“If you want to join the Green Deer Cliff, you cannot take the Heavenly Primary Pill now.” Lu Zhengjun shook his head. “You only have this one nemesis, if he dies now, what motivation would you have? Keeping him alive will just force you to work hard in order to get your revenge!”
“Then, why can’t I take the Heavenly Primary Pill?” Lu Guangdi asked angrily.
He really wanted to just recover his cultivation right now to pursue Chu Li, slowly torturing the b*stard. He wanted his nemesis to experience hell on earth before finally ending him. With those thoughts in his head, his blood started to boil once more. He wanted to go after Chu Li right now!
Lu Zhengjun answered, “For non-disciples, those who already have cultivation cannot join the Green Deer Cliff. That is the law of the Green Deer Cliff, you must follow it, even if you’re my son!”
“…Alright.” Lu Guangdi agreed unhappily. “Then, how do you want me to get revenge?”
“Join the Green Deer Cliff and then take the Heavenly Primary Pill. Then, after you learn a few Mystical Arts in the Green Deer Cliff, if you want to finish off Chu Li, it’d be a piece of cake. Furthermore, his cultivation has been crippled right now. By the time he regains his cultivation, your cultivation would already be at a whole new level with numerous Mystical Arts at your disposal,” Lu Zhengjun said plainly. “Under those circumstances, if you still can’t get your revenge, then you should just give up!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get my revenge!” Lu Guangdi spat.
Lu Zhengjun nodded. “That’s good then… Go back and rest, we’ll make a move tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow?” Lu Guangdi frowned.
Lu Zhengjun said, “Wait till you learn some stuff in the Green Deer Cliff, then you can come back any time. No one’s going to force you to stay.”
“…Okay!” Lu Guangdi nodded.
His original wrath had been pushed to a whole new level by Chu Li. Before his conflict with Chu Li, his grudge with Lu Zhengjun did not even feel as important as this. At that moment, he wanted to enter the Green Deer Cliff, regain his cultivation, learn some Mystical Arts, and destroy Chu Li.
…
As night fell, Lu Guangdi strolled along the beach. Under the dim radiance of the moonlight, the repeated waves crashing onto the shore calmed his heart. As he slowly walked along the beach, he started to feel a bit sad about his departure tomorrow.
Out of the blue, a figure emerged right behind him and struck him with a palm. Then, the two disappeared together.
The next moment, he appeared once more as he continued to walk slowly along the beach.
At this point, he had already been swapped with Chu Li.
Chu Li had hidden all of his cultivation, so it looked like he had his cultivation crippled. This already felt routine to him, it was just like when he first went to the Imperial Mausoleum. If he could trick people back then, he would no doubt be able to do so now.
As he calmly walked a bit more, he turned around and went back, reached his bedroom and headed to bed.
He looked up at the Caisson on the ceiling, feeling a weird sense of calmness. After scheming so much, he was finally about to see his plans in action; would he be able to break into the Green Deer Cliff? This was a once in a million opportunity. If this scheme of his still did not work, he would then have no choice but to finally give up!
