Chapter Eighty-Five: Robbery and Murder (Part One)

  Lai Mao's emotions were very complicated, and even among them, there was a hint of suffocation and anger!

  In front of him, this four-layered martial artist, actually carried a load of three hundred kilograms, and forcibly suppressed his own two moves of the Li family swordsmanship!

  How is this possible!!

  Not just him, but also Lijie, had a gloomy face. The scene in front of them was absolutely humiliating to themselves and the Li family!

  As a strong warrior of the Lai family, who had refined his skin to seven layers, Lai Mao not only failed to gain an advantage over a mortal with only four layers of refinement, but also suffered a significant loss. Moreover, his opponent hadn't even used their true strength!

  Humiliation, absolute humiliation!

  The four words "no room for maneuver" that Chu Hao had just spoken were so piercing in their minds at this moment!

  So, after Liu Li's words fell, Lü Mao didn't hesitate for a moment, without thinking, his swordsmanship was like spring bamboo shoots in the rain, bursting out with a loud roar, and furiously charged at him!

  This sword is very fast!

  Jianfeng Xun group, sword style like a meteor, like a shocking wave of heavy killing. Liu Li is still standing upright, quietly standing in the rain, like a great mountain that spans the sky and earth, with an atmosphere that is continuous and impossible to cross. At this moment, he truly achieved the "immovable as a mountain" state of martial arts. And when Liu Li swung his sword again, Lü Mao was finally shocked, and finally discovered that this man had no swordsmanship to speak of, but what made his sword so terrifying was not its speed, nor its ferocity, but rather its control over the sword's momentum!

  He always managed to squeeze his sword momentum into the gap at the last minute, making his originally smooth and flowing sword momentum become intermittent!

  What a realm this is! The fineness of one's gaze is so astonishing that it makes one's eyes widen in amazement!

  Now Lü Mao is like a master pianist, in the midst of playing with great enthusiasm and being completely absorbed in the music, he encounters a mischievous kid who keeps making noise and disturbing him, causing the piano sound to go out of tune. This is exactly how Lü Mao feels when facing that cold and dazzling knife blade.

  A feeling of oppression cannot be expressed, extremely unbearable, and cannot be put into words.

  He finally realized the horror of experience, horrible enough to be fatal!

  His swordsmanship was exquisite and profound, yet Liu Li was able to find the center of his own sword stance in a one-in-ten-thousand chance! And this time was no exception!

  Liu Lidong made his move! As his blade moved, the two men's swords clashed once again, touching and then parting.

  The body mutually intersects, which seems to be a very normal thing. In the struggle of martial arts, flexible footwork is also an important component. In the frequent movement of footwork, the mutual exchange of positions is even more common.

  However, Lü Mao felt a bit strange, not for anything else. Just because Liu Li's 14th chapter was filled with countless dark clouds, and he couldn't hold back the thunder and lightning. He slapped Lü Mao heavily with his palm, but Lü Mao didn't dare to dodge, and was immediately knocked to the ground.

  He slowly got up from the ground, coughing, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. The purple robe was also stained with mud, and his face instantly floated with a clear fingerprint.

  Li Mu's whole body was trembling violently. His lips were also shaking severely.

  For them, it's just a dog-eat-dog world. Chu Hao wasn't the least bit interested. Watching Lai Jie turn around and head towards the forest outside the official road, he smiled and said: "Lai brother, take care. Actually, I'm a very timid person, if you had insisted a bit earlier, maybe I would have let you go. And even kowtowed to apologize, alas, look at how things turned out."

  Liejie's body suddenly stopped, without turning his head, suppressing the urge to vomit blood, and then quickened his pace, the four figures disappeared into the forest.

  After Lai Jie and others disappeared, Li Meng didn't even have time to express his admiration for Chu Hao. He saw Chu Hao quickly jumping off the table and then coming to Liu Li's side with a serious face.

  Li Meng was in a daze, but he saw Liu Li suddenly spit out a mouthful of even brighter red blood clots than before. The short knife almost slipped from his grasp. His body fell to one side.

  "Big Brother!" Huang Hongjin and Tie Dun's faces changed drastically as they rushed over in this direction.

  Chu Hao hastily supported Liu Li, then pressed his back, inputting internal force. Then he took out the last remaining "Yugu Dan" from his pocket and sent it to Liu Li's mouth.

  In the battle just now, after all, the two people's boundaries were too different, and that sharp swordsmanship was indeed exquisite. So originally, Chu Hao thought Liu Li could stably fight against Lian Pi's seven-layer cultivation, but he suffered a great loss, with internal injuries!

  If Liu Li hadn't been able to hold on for much longer, Chu Hao would have at least teased Lijie a bit more before letting him go.

  Liu Li coughed violently, waved his hand at Huang Hongjin and others to indicate that he was fine, then struggled free from Chu Hao's support, and with great difficulty knelt halfway on the ground, saying: "Your Highness, I am fortunate not to have disgraced your orders!"

  His voice was firm and hard, but with a hint of trembling!

  This was his first time serving as a prince's driver, fortunately, he made a quick getaway and successfully completed the task entrusted by Chu Hao! His current mood is very tense, just like a child seeking credit, eager to get a word of praise!

  "You've done a great job!" Chu Hao read Liu Li's mind and patted him on the shoulder, furrowing his brow as he lifted him up. When Liu Li heard these words, his whole body trembled with excitement, clearly overjoyed. He felt that the injuries he had just suffered were nothing compared to this! Being able to defend the dignity of the young master was his greatest honor!

  Chu Hao's eyes turned icy, and he pulled Liu Li up, saying calmly: "Don't worry, the injuries you suffered this time, the blood you spat out, won't be in vain. They will pay the price!"

  Li Meng and others heard Chu Hao's words, for some reason, the originally weak and small prince in their eyes suddenly became extremely tall. It was not only because of the shock caused by Liu Li's actions earlier, but also because of the prince's aura, that confident and resolute infectious power!

  This infectious power makes every soldier present not suspect what he says!

  "Alright." Chu Hao got rained on for a while, then wiped his face and looked at the sky that was about to clear up. He handed Liu Li over to Huang Hongjin, and then had them help him sit down in the teahouse. After doing all this, he came to Lin Yue'er's side and whispered a few words, and saw Lin Yue'er spit out a few mouthfuls of air, her previous worried expression replaced by a blush.

  Chu Hao smiled and slowly walked out of the teahouse, saying to Li Meng and others in a light tone: "Little Wang went out for a convenience, he'll be back soon."

  No one would think that Chu Hao just went to the restroom, his words with full of murderous intent just now have explained everything!

  However, the crown prince was only a second-layer bone-refining martial artist after all. Although he had gained more vigor and decisiveness over the past three years, his strength was still insufficient! That he could make those four martial artists who were close to the Innate Realm retreat with their tails between their legs already exceeded Li Meng's expectations. Seeing that the crown prince still refused to give up at this moment, they were all shocked.

  "Your Highness..." Li Meng hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking up, "Let me accompany you."

  "It's convenient for me, must you hold me for it to be convenient? Do you think I'm a kid?" Chu Hao turned his head and looked at him.

  Li Meng was sullen and didn't speak, he didn't know why, but when his eyes met Chu Hao's gaze, his heart uncontrollably skipped a beat. The calm and quiet eyes seemed to hold a deadly stillness and danger!

  One of the guards of the palace, unexpectedly couldn't sustain eye contact with Chu Hao and didn't dare to speak again, instead he slowly lowered his head like facing a general on the battlefield who held his life in their hands.

  Chu Hao turned around again, paused for a moment, and said another sentence: "Xiao Wang's stomach doesn't feel comfortable, it may take a little longer."

  Then, amidst the patter of raindrops, he entered the forest. During this time, Liu Li and Li Meng could only watch him leave, Liu Li was confident in Chu Hao, while Li Meng had a thoughtful expression on his face, with a hint of tension between his eyebrows that was almost imperceptible.

  Lin Yu'er also furrowed her brow unconsciously.

  It's been less than half a stick of incense since Lijie and the others left just now.
