Chu Li sized up the trio . He raised his eyebrow . "And who might you three be?"

The red-haired elder in the middle spoke in a deep tone . "You're Chu Li, right? You need not know of our ident.i.ties . Hand over the second lady and we will spare your life!"

Chu Li laughed at the demand . How rude was it to not even introduce oneself? "Why did men from King An's Imperial Residence come here?"

He saw right through the thoughts of the trio .

Killing him was their primary task . Rescuing the second lady was only a side quest – they were only to grab her if they were to stumble upon her .

It seemed that King An saw him as a thorn in his side and wanted to get rid of him for his peace of mind .

"Humph, there's no need for questions . Are you going to answer or not?"

Chu Li frowned . "What does His Highness King An want?"

"The second lady is the future queen . We're only here to bring back the second lady; if anybody tries to stop us, then we'll deal with them accordingly!"

"I see . . . " Chu Li nodded . It seemed like they were still unaware that he was a Grandmaster .

Chu Li had intentionally held back from striking when he faced Le Dongchu's taunting earlier in order to conceal this fact . His precautions had paid off .

After today, King An would know the truth .

The trio had received orders to come here to find him and then kill him . They probably knew nothing of this person and were only here to carry out orders .

The red-haired elder was growing impatient . "Where's the second lady? Don't bother with any tricks . Don't make us kill you!"

Chu Li smiled . "I don't know where the second lady is . "

None of the men were fools . Although Chu Li wasn't a threat, being only an Innate Master, the red-haired elder still tried his best to break Chu Li's spirit .

They acted as though they were only out here to look for the second lady, so they would obtain verbal confirmation of his ident.i.ty .

The red-haired elder's face scrounged into a knot . "We wouldn't dare touch the second lady . However, you are a different story!"

The trio each shot out a punch .

Chu Li flung both his arms as two fists whizzed by his face .

"Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+" A light whizz was heard as two daggers were sent flying . They went straight into the bodies of two of the elders .

The distance between them was too short and the daggers were too quick . This had caught them completely off-guard . They were hit before they could even react . Not to mention, they had just expunged a large amount of energy and were catching their breath . Hence, parrying the daggers were also out of the question .

Chu Li saw this with the Omniscient Mirror and scored a direct hit .

The two of them clutched their chest with eyes wide in disbelief . They slowly stumbled backward .

Chu Li was now a Grandmaster . The force of his flying daggers was impressive, and the two elders could not guard against them under such a short sentence . They looked on in horror as their energy leaked out of their chest .

However, they suddenly got over the shock and quickly took out some drugs before tossing them into their mouths .

"How dare you!" The red-haired elder was enraged . He pushed outward and a wave of energy shot toward Chu Li like a powerful cannon .

Chu Li easily sidestepped to dodge it .

From the Infinite Azure Sea to the Duality Scripture, aura came surging in from every direction . Chu Li circulated the Duality Scripture as if he was riding a horse . His white robe moved despite the fact that there was no wind; and yet, he looked as though he was standing in the middle of a storm .  

"Bang!" The red-haired elder palmed the stone table, and he sent it flying through the air .

Once again Chu Li sidestepped as the stone table crashed into a nearby wall . The force of the impact had blown a hole in the wall, leaving pieces of debris everywhere . In addition to this, the impact had caused an exceptionally loud crash in the middle of the night .

Yang Baoshu was deep in thought when he heard the noise . He quickly grabbed the ladder to look over the wall .

The moonlight illuminated the scene and he was able to see everything .

On the ground lay two unconscious men; another unknown red-haired elder was leaping about nearby and firing out punches in midair . Everywhere he punched, dust flew and things were destroyed – his moves were no laughing matter . Yang Baoshu saw this and thought that he must have been a legendary Grandmaster!

However, he continued to scan the garden and widened his eyes when he saw Mr . Chu's white robe flapping in the wind . Mr . Chu was agilely avoiding the elder's punches . His white robe remained unscathed, and he seemed to be gliding through his movements .

Then, Mr . Chu let out a light punch .

The red-haired elder took the hit and instantly yelled out in pain . His shriek was like a clap of thunder in the quiet night .

Yang Baoshu's ears were buzzing so much that he was forced to cover them . He was aware of the dangers and knew that he should not be there watching . However, a strong impulse was making him stay in place .

If he wanted to live like Mr . Chu, then he had to see Mr . Chu's capabilities . This man was supposed to be his benchmark, this man was what he was supposed to aim for!

"Urghhh!" The red-haired elder was grunting in pain as staggered backward .

Chu Li's light punch was derived from High Duke Lu himself - it was a force to be reckoned with .

The red-haired elder threw Chu Li a nasty stare before wiping his mouth . He signaled for another round . "Alright Chu Li, have another go at it!"

The elder punched again, and Chu Li returned the favor .

"Bang!" The red-haired elder's entire body was launched twenty meters through the air before he crashed into the residence .

Chu Li snorted . This red-haired elder was a sneaky b.a.s.t.a.r.d . He followed the flow of Chu Li's punch to the house in order to capture Xiao s.h.i.+ . It was too bad that Xiao s.h.i.+ was not in this courtyard .

As a bodyguard, it advisable for Chu Li to live in the same house as her . However, this was a strange case due to the fact that Chu Li's accommodation had two courtyards . It certainly was not common at all . The red-haired elder had not thought of this .

"Let's go!" The red-haired elder swiftly ran through the house and then left through a window . He was seething with rage .

Seizing second Lady Xiao should have been a piece of cake- the elder did not think that he would have to fight a Grandmaster . What a miscalculation! He was hoping to at least be able to fulfill the second part of his mission - but unfortunately, second Lady Xiao was not around .

The elder hastily ran over to grab the unconscious duo and then swung them over his shoulders before speedily scaling the wall .

You could tell he was pus.h.i.+ng himself to his absolute limits in hopes of escaping from Chu Li .

"Swis.h.!.+" A blade flew through the air .

Moments later, the red-haired elder looked down at his chest only to realize that a dagger was sticking out of it . He lost his grip and fell powerlessly to the ground, right into Yang Baoshu's yard .  

Yang Baoshu was frightened out of his wits and could only stand there frozen in fear .

"Thud!" A fist slammed into the red-haired elder's back .

His body contorted outwards as he spat out blood; then, he went limp and plummeted straight to the ground .

"Bang!" Yang Baoshu's yard shook as the trio landed messily in the yard .

Yang Baoshu stood at the entrance of his house with a pasty complexion .

By now, Madam Zhou had woken up too . She quickly called from inside the house, "Who's that?"

"Mother, it's me . I'm cultivating!" Yang Baoshu responded in a panic .

Yang Baoshu continued to watch as Chu Li leaped forward and then appeared before the three elders .

The red-haired elder was stuffing a blood red pill into his mouth as he glared viciously at Chu Li .

The other two elders that had been stabbed in the chest laid on the ground next to him as they too glared at Chu Li . They had taken the Life Saving Pill, which was similar to the Spirit Blessing Pill .

Chu Li lowered his head to look down at them . Then he sighed as if he was bored . "You guys are out of luck . "

He laid his palm on each of them .

"Chu Li, angering King An has its consequences!" The red-haired elder was aggravated . He was spitting blood while he growled at Chu Li angrily .

Chu Li smiled and dismissed the warning . "Whatever the consequences may be, you need not worry about me . Meanwhile, the three of you can keep each other company on the road to h.e.l.l . Goodbye!"

"You . . . " The trio continued to glare at Chu Li all the way until they drew their final breath .

Yang Baoshu's body went numb, and he could not move a finger .

His earlier impression of a gentle and caring Mister Chu had come cras.h.i.+ng down after witnessing him murder three men in cold blood . Yang Baoshu could not believe his eyes and had chills .

Then, he briefly locked eyes with Chu Li, which caused him to force out an awkward smile .

Chu Li smiled back before carrying the three corpses back into his own compound .

The moment he left, Yang Baoshu's body went limp, and he dropped to his knees .

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d, what are you doing now?" Madam Zhou shouted in displeasure . She pushed open the windows of her room . "What's with all the ruckus in the middle of the night? Go to bed already . "

Yang Baoshu flailed about as he got back to his feet . "Right right, I'm going to bed now, mother!"

"What an idiot!" Madam Zhou glared at him before slamming the windows shut to continue her beauty sleep .

However, Yang Baoshu was uneasy; he wanted to return to bed yet couldn't suppress his curiosity .

He slowly climbed up the wall and then craned his neck to peek into Chu Li's yard .

What he wasn't unexpecting was for Chu Li to be standing dead center in his yard, staring right back at him with his hands clasped behind his back .

Yang Baoshu's soul nearly left his body .

Chu Li waved him over . "Come here . "

Yang Baoshu was trembling . Despite this, he promptly climbed over the wall .

He had thought about it as he was scaling the ball . Regardless of what had just transpired, Mr . Chu would not lay a finger on him .

He adjusted the steps and climbed down the wall . Then, he stood before Chu Li .

Chu Li looked at him for a little while before saying, "I'll be leaving . "

Yang Baoshu was totally taken aback . What was going on?

"You'll be leaving?!" Yang Baoshu's jaw hit the ground .

Chu Li sized up the trio . He raised his eyebrow . "And who might you three be?" .

The red-haired elder in the middle spoke in a deep tone . "You're Chu Li, right? You need not know of our ident.i.ties . Hand over the second lady and we will spare your life!" .
