  “Crash!” With a furious sweep of her arm, she sent everything on the table flying which then crashed on the carpet.

  She grabbed a vase and flung it toward the wall.

  “Crack!” The vase shattered into pieces.

  She picked up another vase and smashed it angrily against the wall.

  “Crack!” The other vase shattered as well.

  She slammed her delicate, jade-like hand on a table. With a loud crashing sound, the table turned into a heap of debris.

  Then, she slammed her hand on another table and destroyed it as well.

  Within moments, everything in the room was reduced to ruins. Aside from the room itself, not a single piece of furniture remained intact.

  Her gorgeous face was flushed while her chest rose and fell rapidly as she breathed heavily.

  Her lip bled from biting down on it too hard.

  She finally calmed down after some time and tried her best to take a few deep breaths and suppress her anger before making her way to Chu Li’s room.

  Chu Li glanced at her and calmly said, “You don’t look very well. Did someone from the White Tiger Sect drop by?”

  “Yes!” Yue Ru nodded gravely. “It was Tan Jin.”

  “He came alone?” Chu Li asked.

  Yue Ru nodded.

  Chu Li laughed and asked, “What’s the matter with the White Tiger Sect? They seem to be taking the situation rather lightly. Last time, they sent two elders and one disciple, but they’ve sent only one elder this time?”

  “It is because this elder can defeat those previous two elders!” Yue Ru huffed. “Tan Jin’s martial arts skills are extraordinary!”

  Chu Li muttered, “It seems like he’s capable of going up against my Light Blade then.”

  “He’ll certainly be wearing his White Tiger Armor,” Yue Ru stated. “You have to be careful!”

  Chu Li smiled. “I’d like to see how impressive his White Tiger Armor is!”

  “You shouldn’t go out yet.” Yue Ru shook her head. “His martial art is very powerful. You’re no match for him right now. Even if you plan on killing him, you’ll have to wait until much later!”

  “Well then, I shall leave him be for two days first.” Chu Li huffed. “I’ll definitely kill him!”

  …

  A week passed by.

  Tan Jin kept searching for Zhao Dahe in Gale City. He had mobilized all of the sect’s secret agents to search through every corner of Gale City.

  He possessed the White Tiger Soul-Tracking Technique but could not sense the presence of Zhao Dahe with it right now, so he was left with only two probabilities. Zhao Dahe had either escaped to the Great Light Peak or had hidden in some kind of a formation. No matter how he thought about it, the only people in Gale City who were adept at using formations were those people from the Tian Luo Sect.

  However, why would Tian Luo Sect help Zhao Dahe?

  Tan Jin was still puzzled after thinking about it more. The Tian Luo Sect should be on the same side as him. Although he had killed a Tian Luo Sect disciple many years ago, no one ever found out about it, so it was impossible that the Tian Luo Sect would offend the White Tiger Sect and help Zhao Dahe.

  The sun glowed red in the west as it was about to set.

  He was drinking alone in a courtyard in the Roaring Tiger Clan.

  Suddenly, something stirred in him as he finally sensed Zhao Dahe’s presence.

  He put down his cup and stood up before he vanished from the courtyard in a flash. In a split second, he arrived at a forest outside the city and saw Chu Li, who was standing on top of a tree.

  This forest was dense and vast. It was an old forest that had been around for a few hundred years, so its trees were all thick and tall; almost reaching the clouds.

  Chu Li was standing on a towering treetop. As a gust of wind rose and caused the tree to sway, he moved up and down along with it as if he had become one with the tree branch.

  Under the setting sun, his white clothing fluttered in the wind which gave him an air of elegance. Unfortunately, his ugly face spoiled this pleasant view.

  “You’re Zhao Dahe?” Tan Jin asked while looking up at him.

  Chu Li asked, “You’re Tan Jin?”

  “Very well, young fellow. You know my name after all,” Tan Jin said and let out a sharp breath. “Was it you who killed Tan Hu, Meng Wu, and Zhu Qingyou?”

  “It was me,” Chu Li replied. “They were trying to kill me, so I had no choice but to kill them in order to live. Have you come to kill me too?”

  Tan Jin said, “Indeed!”

  As soon as he had finished speaking, he joined his hands together before separating them again. Instantly, two tiger silhouettes appeared and were about to reach Chu Li in the next moment. Their incredible speed was similar to his Light Blade.

  Chu Li had already activated the Light Blade just as the man had thought of launching the attack

  The moment the two tiger silhouettes appeared, the Light Blade had shot out from his hand in a blink of an eye

  Before the tiger silhouettes could reach Chu Li’s chest, the Light Blade hit Tan Jin.

  However, Tan Jin merely moved a step backward despite having been struck by the Light Blade while he directed the tiger silhouettes to hit Chu Li.

  Chu Li disappeared in a flash and reappeared a hundred feet away a moment later. As soon as he reappeared, the tiger silhouettes struck him.

  “Bang!” Chu Li was sent flying and crashed into a huge tree.

  The huge towering tree was very thick and shook violently on impact. Chu Li was stuck within the tree trunk and was struggling to free himself.

  He felt as if his vital organs had been overturned. His Divine Light Body had actually failed to shield him against the tiger silhouettes. The depth of Tan Jin’s cultivation level was truly terrifying.

  Tan Jin lowered his head and glanced at his long robe before smiling faintly.

  Chu Li knitted his brows together and glared at him.

  Tan Jin said, “Zhao Dahe, this robe of mine is an extremely rare treasure that has been passed down from ancient times. It is said that this robe is made of the silk of a floating silkworm, so it’s impervious to weapons and neither fire nor water can destroy it.”

  Chu Li scoffed. “The White Tiger Sect is impressive indeed!”

  “This is what forms the concrete foundations of the four major sects,” Tan Jin answered. “When you have great martial arts skills, treasures like this will naturally come to you. Your Light Blade is powerful, but it won’t be able to break through this treasured clothing that’s made of the silk of the floating silkworm!”

  Chu Li retorted, “Your head isn’t protected by the treasured clothing though!”

  “Well, that depends on your skills then. Haha!” Tan Jin laughed loudly and put his hands together before drawing them apart. Again, two tiger silhouettes appeared before Chu Li before he knew it and did not give him time to react.

  Chu Li slid off the tree abruptly and barely dodged the tiger silhouettes.

  “Bang! Bang!” The tiger silhouettes collided with the huge tree and caused a loud explosion that resulted in two piles of sawdust. The destructive force of the tiger silhouettes left him speechless. Zhu Qingyou and the other two could never compare to this man.

  Chu Li quickly hid behind a tree.

  With this huge tree blocking Chu Li from Tan Jin’s field of vision, Tan Jin would not be able to direct the tiger silhouettes to hunt him down.

  Tan Jin scoffed and went behind the large tree with a sudden leap.

  He found that there was no one behind the tree. Chu Li had vanished.

  Tan Jin shook his head. Since his opponent had decided to show up, it would be almost impossible for him to escape.

  He activated the White Tiger Soul-Tracking Technique and sensed that Chu Li was right behind him. As he joined his hands together and pulled them apart, two tiger silhouettes appeared once again and charged toward a huge tree behind him.

  Chu Li lowered his body and the two tiger silhouettes hit the tree trunk again, producing a loud explosion that resulted in two more piles of sawdust.

  He continued using the large trees around him as his shield and kept changing his position. Within a short amount of time, twelve more tiger silhouettes exploded as they collided with the surrounding trees.

  This was a battlefield Chu Li had carefully selected in order to weaken the formidable power of the White Tiger Killing Skill to the largest extent. Right now, its effects seemed quite satisfactory.

  Once Tan Jin realized Chu Li’s dangerous intentions, he stopped using the White Tiger Killing Skill so carelessly and suddenly soared up into the air. He intended to observe Chu Li from above so that his opponent would have nowhere to hide. Then, he would be able to use the White Tiger Killing Skill more effectively without wasting too much effort.

  “Tsh!” As soon as he leaped into the air, a cold glint shot toward his throat.

  A shudder ran down his spine as he desperately turned his body to avoid it.

  “Tsh!” Another blade ran across his chest and then fell to the ground. If he had not been wearing the treasured clothing, that blade would have cut his stomach open.

  “Tsh!” Yet another cold flash shot straight down toward the top of his head.

  Tan Jin reacted at an unbelievable speed by bending his body over.

  “Bang!” An immense force from his neck weighed down on him and caused him to fall back to the ground.

  He was secretly taken aback. Zhao Dahe’s Light Blade had turned out to be much stronger than what was reported to him by his agents. Its speed was so fast that it was impossible to effectively defend oneself against it. If it were not for the treasured clothing he was wearing, he would have been seeking his own death by coming here.

  Chu Li laughed loudly and stated, “The White Tiger Sect is not that powerful after all!”

  Afterward, he glided away.

  Tan Jin let out a cruel laugh and closed the distance between them with just a few leaps. He continued to pursue Chu Li up a mountain.

  Tan Jin laughed coldly and produced more tiger silhouettes.

  Since Chu Li was within his field of vision, the tiger silhouettes hit Chu Li on his back at once and sent him flying through the air. This caused him to glide forward at higher speed instead.

  Chu Li sprayed a mouthful of blood in the air and increased his speed all of a sudden by charging ahead with greater force. In the blink of an eye, he had managed to put about a hundred meters’ distance between them.
