White-Robed Chief

Panda Novel

Chu Li stretched his back and then he extended his hand forward. After measuring the pulse of their veins, he stated, “You guys will live.”

He then took out a few shiny ceramic bottles and said, “Each of you, take one.”

This was the Wound-mending Spirit Medicine that Chu Li had brought back from Great Light Peak; it was stronger than the usual medicine. Chu Li had originally thought that he would no longer require it and he did not expect it to be put to use.

Kou Qiong retrieved the ceramic bottle with both his hands. He then broke into a grin. “Many thanks, Young Master!”

“What you guys encountered is the White Tiger Killing Skill. Have you finally feast your eyes upon it?” Chu Li sighed. “You guys have fought him three on one and you still beat this badly?”

As Chu Li spoke, he extracted the image of the battle scene from Kou Qiong and the others’ minds.

Following that, Chu Li sighed again and shook his head. “Rest properly, guys.”

“Young Master, we’ve embarrassed you. We did not expect the little punk’s White Tiger Killing Skill to far surpass his cultivation! He’s very similar to you, so you must be careful, Young Master!”

Zhao Dahe’s cultivation was weaker than the trio’s, and not just that, it was also very much weaker compared to the majority of those who lived in Gale City. However, as he had honed his Light Blade to the highest peak possible, it contained a startling amount of firepower — enough to earn him the top spot in Gale City.

In Chu Li’s case, his greatest fear was encountering the Tian Luo Sect as their Musical Assassination Technique targeted one’s inner energy. No matter how powerful his Light Blade was, all Chu Li could do in the face of the Musical Assassination Technique was endure as he would, too, quickly succumb to the Musical Assassination Technique’s effects.

Fortunately, the Tian Luo Sect had maintained great relations with Chu Li and they would not harm a single strand on him. Due to this, no one was Chu Li’s match in Gale City, and many had considered the Holy Light Church to be Tian Luo Sect’s weakness instead.

After exchanging a few more words with the trio, Chu Li returned to his residence near the Roaring Tiger Clan. He sat on top of his bed and observed the disciple of the White Tiger Sect, Zheng Tianhe, who was within the hall of the Roaring Tiger Clan.

Zheng Tianhe was currently sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard. He was basking in the sun with narrowed eyes and curled lips. He was lazing around, and he was enjoying himself while he did so.

Chu Li read the contents within Tianhe’s mind and compared it with what he had obtained from Kou Qiong and the others. With that, he was able to replicate the scene that had transpired that night.

It happened during the night where the sparse stars that dotted the night were accompanied by a thin veil of mist.

Zheng Tianhe was slowly trudging along a narrow valley. He had just walked out from Nine Star Tower, and he prepared to return to Roaring Tiger Clan’s clan hall.

He had just downed a belly full of exquisite wine and he was feeling slightly tipsy.

He was hooked to this sensation and he could not bear to shake the feeling off by exercising. As he continued to be absorbed in the sensation, he walked onto the bluestone steps. The night was quiet and it was accompanied by a gentle zephyr which made for a picturesque scene.

Compared to the harsh training in the mountains, Gale City contained much more entertainment. He was addicted to these entertainments, and he would not hesitate to chop down those who dared to disrupt this reverie of his, especially Zhao Dahe.

He chuckled. Zhao Dahe was a prodigy and so too was he. Even if Zhao Dahe could kill the Elders of his sect, Zhao Dahe would not be able to defeat him.

‘Alas, it’s a shame that Zhao Dahe has already returned to Great Light Peak. Sigh, without him here, I’m not able to properly compare our skills and I wouldn’t get the chance to kill him.’

Without Zhao Dahe in Gale City, Tianhe would be king! No one could so much as threaten him!

Suddenly, he felt an ominous premonition and with that, he immediately sobered up. His inner energy began to surge, and he began to channel his White Tiger Killing Skill. He was extremely talented in using the White Tiger Killing Skill and his cultivation level for it was much higher than his White Tiger Power.

Kou Qiong and the two others leaped out from the shadows.

“Roar…” Three tiger roars erupted in unison to greet the three assailants.

The trio then panicked. After all, they had not expected the ambushers to be ambushed instead.

The trio had originally thought of Zheng Tianhe as a small fry as his cultivation level was at average, making him no different from any other. However, in order to be safe and in accordance with the Young Master’s wishes, the trio had decided to act in unison. As such, it was hard for them to not underestimate their enemy somewhat.

However, much to their chagrin, the hunters had instead become the hunted.

They panicked as they avidly attempted to avoid all the White Tiger Killing Skills. Despite that, before they had even got a chance to counterattack, they were immediately targeted by another three tiger silhouettes.

This made them panic even more, and it was their cultivation levels that allowed them to dodge the silhouettes at the last second.

Nevertheless, another three tiger silhouettes appeared. This time, however, they were struck by the silhouettes.

Zheng Tianhe was not a merciful person. Upon striking down the trio, he unleashed another three tiger silhouettes which slammed into the three individuals. It had knocked out all the air from their lungs, so much that they could not get up from the ground.

The White Tiger Killing Skill contained an alarming amount of power, and it could induce heavy bodily harm to those who had been struck by it.

“Zheng Tianhe, we are from the Radiance Clan! With that in mind, are you brave enough to kill us?” Lu Shu’s back was against a wall. With his head raised, he continued, “Bear in mind that our Young Master will avenge us if you are!”

“Hmph, the Radiance Clan?” Zheng Tianhe lowered his gaze to look at the trio. In a condescending tone, he stated, “I didn’t cause any trouble to the Radiance Clan, but the Radiance Clan itself has delivered themselves to me. How nice!”

Once again, he fired off three Tiger Silhouettes.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” Kou Qiong and the other two were sent flying. They were slammed directly onto the stone wall of the alley and under the moonlight, their blood that was splattered onto the walls looked ominously black.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” The trio crashed onto the ground as their muscles spasmed. They were now losing more breath than what they had breathed in.

Zheng Tianhe stood loftily as he looked down on them. “Zhao Dahe has murdered our Elders in the White Tiger Sect! So now, I’m going to murder those from the Radiance Clan! I’ll see whether Zhao Dahe has the ability to come after me!”

Kou Qiong and the others were both frustrated and enraged. They glared reproachfully at Zheng Tianhe.

After all, the trio could not figure out Tianhe’s true worth and as such, they felt as if they had been blindsided. It was as if they were experienced hunters who had their eyes pecked out by an eagle!

Zheng Tianhe casually looked at them. “Would the Radiance Clan disband after I get rid of you guys? It doesn’t matter, cause even if it doesn’t disband, I’ll make it disband myself… Hahaha! I wonder what’ll happen when Zhao Dahe returns. He would probably feel mad about the disbanded Radiance Clan and come looking for me, right?”

“You’re no match for our Young Master!” Kou Qiong croaked as he wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth.

Zheng Tianhe calmly retorted, “Why do you think I’m here? I’m only here to kill him! Do you really think that Zhao Dahe can truly suppress all of us from the White Tiger Sect? Bah, it’s just that the experts have not shown themselves yet! What a joke!”

“You…” Kou Qiong gritted his teeth. “You madman! You’re delusional if you really think that you can defeat our Young Master with that petty skill of yours!”

“Hmm, think whatever you want. After all, you’re going to die soon anyway. It’s a shame that you won’t be able to see your Young Master’s downfall!” Zheng Tianhe silently shook his head as he put his palms together. With that, three Tiger Silhouettes showed up and struck the trio.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” The trio was sent flying yet again. They crashed onto the wall before slinking downwards. They were knocked out cold.

With that, Zheng Tianhe chuckled and turned around to leave.

He was extremely confident in his White Tiger Killing Skill. So, he was certain that the trio was dead with that strike and by the time someone had discovered their bodies on the second day, they would have undergone rigor mortis. In that case, only God would be able to save them!

Zheng Tianhe shook his head, gradually leaving the trio as he walked away from the alleyway.

Soon after, silence enveloped the alleyway. It was as if nothing had happened.

Sometime later, Kou Qiong’s eyes flung open. With trembling hands, he hurriedly took out a jade bottle from his pockets and attempted to plop a few pills into his mouth. After quite some time and after many attempts, he finally managed to get a single pill into his mouth. His energy was now completely exhausted, and he could not move a single finger.

After taking a long rest, he took out Lu Shu and Feng Wuji’s jade bottles and placed the Spirit Blessing Pills into their mouths. Following that, he lay down again. The two then took in deep breaths as if they were fish on land. At long last, Kou Qiong had managed to save all their lives!

Chu Li recounted the events that transpired as he sat at his backyard.

He had already discerned Zheng Tianhe’s murderous intent towards him long ago, as everyone aside from Yang Ying from the White Tiger Sect wanted to kill him. Zheng Tianhe was no exception and so, this was no surprise to Chu Li.

However, he had not expected Zheng Tianhe to be that powerful. After all, it would take considerable talent in order for one to reach that kind of mastery of the White Tiger Killing Skill.
