Two hours later.
Li Changfeng slowly exhaled, and all the corroded skin on his body had recovered. This was the phenomenon of the [Shaolin Bronze Body Skill] reaching perfection, with extremely powerful recovery ability!
Upon seeing this, Detective Peng was immediately shocked. "Brother Li! You have such a remarkable recovery ability. Could it be that you also practice Toughness Cultivation Method?!"
"Hehe! It's just a small achievement, hardly worthy of serious consideration."
Detective Peng gave Li Changfeng a deep look. "Brother Li! You are far too modest. Not to mention your profound Inner Force, your external martial arts skills are also at such a high level. I am truly in awe of you!"
"Haha! You flatter me, Brother Peng! Let's continue our journey!"
"Alright! We've rested enough, let's go!"
At this moment, led by the Three Idiots of Greenhill, they were walking towards the imperial city when Li Changfeng suddenly raised his hand, signaling them to stop. He stared intently at a dense forest ahead.
Seeing Li Changfeng's grave expression, Detective Peng asked cautiously, "Brother Li! What's the situation ahead?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a voice suddenly rang out from the dense forest ahead, "Kid! You actually managed to detect our presence. Not bad at all!"
From the dense forest emerged figures clad in blood-red robes, each possessing at least the strength of a second-rate expert, while the leaders were at the First-Rate Peak expertise, looking at Li Changfeng and his companions with mocking expressions.
Li Changfeng said gravely, "Are you the ones who killed the Dragon Gate Escort Agency? You were actually prepared to ambush us here!"
The leader of the blood-clad men said mockingly, "Dead men don't need to know so much!"
Detective Peng said gravely, "Are you Brocade-Clad Guard) here specifically to intercept and kill us, preventing us from continuing our investigation of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency case?"
"Hehe! You're really smart! We are indeed the Brocade-Clad Guard!"
Detective Peng sneered, "Heh! It seems you're definitely not from the Brocade-Clad Guard Uniform Guard. As a secret service of the imperial family, you would never reveal your identity!"
The leader of the blood-clad men immediately turned cold upon hearing this, "The smartest people are usually the first to die!"
The leader of the blood-clad men raised his arm, and more than a dozen of them rushed forward, their bodies filled with killing intent, and attacked Li Changfeng and his group.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng shouted, "You all go first! I'll stay behind to cover the rear!"
The Three Idiots of Greenhill refused, saying, "No way! We'll leave together. We can't leave our eldest brother here to fight all the heroes alone!"
Detective Peng immediately understood Li Changfeng's meaning. With their strength, staying would only lead to their deaths. If Li Changfeng were alone, he might have a chance to escape, but with so many people around, it would be difficult for him to escape even if he wanted to.
After thinking it over, Detective Peng shouted angrily, "Listen to your elder brother! You'll only be a burden if you stay here. If we're here, Brother Li will have to take care of us, which will only harm him! Do you understand?"
The Three Idiots of Greenhill were unwilling upon hearing this, but Li Changfeng glared at them and finally gave up, then escaped with Detective Peng.
Upon seeing this, the leader of the blood-clad men roared, "Split into two groups! We can't let them escape!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng immediately took action, unleashing his 150 Inner Force to unleash the first move of the Shaolin Dragon Grasp, "Retrieving Objects from Afar." Li Changfeng's hands stirred up a thick, pale golden true energy, which condensed into a pale golden dragon claw fifty feet in size.
It swept away the surrounding rubble and broken wood, then gathered them all together and smashed fiercely towards a group of blood-clad men, its power was truly astonishing!
"Meet!" "Meet!" "Meet!"
A series of heavy whistling sounds rang out as hundreds of pounds of rocks and broken wood slammed violently towards the blood-clad men with astonishing force. Upon seeing this, the group of blood-clad men immediately retaliated, unleashing a barrage of sword and palm strikes that furiously pounded against the rocks and broken wood.
Blood rained down from the sky, turning some second-rate experts into mincemeat. Only a few peak second-rate experts managed to withstand the domineering attack, but were severely injured and lay on the ground on the verge of death. If no one came to their aid, they would likely be close to death.
The leading men in blood-red robes looked at Li Changfeng with serious expressions. "Such domineering Inner Force! With just one move, he wiped out a group of second-rate experts. It seems we need to join forces!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the leader of the blood-clad men made his move, drawing the demonic blade from behind him and unleashing the [Asura Black Saber]. A chilling black aura erupted from the leader's body, carrying with it bursts of crimson energy, which frantically condensed into the blade, transforming into a fifty-foot-long true energy blade.
Then, with a sudden slash, a fifty-foot-long true qi blade fiercely struck towards Li Changfeng, its power terrifying.
Upon seeing this, Li Changfeng raised an eyebrow, his entire body's true energy erupted, and he activated the [Draconic Elephant Prajna], using the third move of the [Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand], "Double Dragons Emerging from the Sea." Li Changfeng's hands transformed into dragon claws, and a fierce and domineering true energy condensed in his claws, with the awe-inspiring power of a dragon and an elephant behind him.
Then, with a sudden burst of his claws, he unleashed two lifelike dragon claw imprints, each fifty feet long, to meet the oncoming, menacing fifty-foot-long true energy blade.
"Boom!"
Two lifelike dragon claw imprints, each fifty feet long, gripped the fifty-foot-long true energy sword tightly, emitting a deafening sound of true energy colliding. A shockwave shot violently outwards, causing trees to fall and even shearing a foot of soil away from where the two were fighting. The power was truly terrifying!
At this moment, the two were desperately channeling their inner energy, but neither could gain the upper hand. Suddenly, the blood-clad men beside the leader of the blood-clad men disappeared.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly exerted his strength, using his own immense power to tear the fifty-foot-long true energy sword apart.
The moment he pulled open the fifty-foot-long true energy sword, he immediately felt a bone-chilling killing intent coming from behind him.
Li Changfeng hurriedly activated the [Shaolin Bronze Body Skill]. Vajra Arhat Phantom, fifty feet tall, slowly appeared, radiating a dazzling golden light. An extremely powerful Vajra Power was added to his body, resisting the murderous attack from behind.
"Clang"!!
A metallic clang rang out as a crimson true energy blade struck Li Changfeng's incredibly powerful Vajra Arhat Phantom. A powerful counterforce erupted, deflecting the crimson true energy blade with overwhelming force!
The blood-clad man who had launched the sneak attack from behind was slightly taken aback. The powerful force of Li Changfeng's recoil had cracked the tiger's mouth of his hands, and blood slowly flowed down. He couldn't even hold onto his knife, which flew off and landed on a tree not far away.
Then Li Changfeng suddenly unleashed the first move of the [Vajra Leg of Immense Power], "Vajra Chain Kick". A surge of true energy condensed in his legs, and Li Changfeng suddenly exerted force with both legs, kicking out seven or eight fierce leg shadows in the air.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...
A series of muffled thuds rang out as the blood-clad man, still in shock, was kicked by Li Changfeng's seven or eight powerful Vajra Legs, causing him to spit out blood, his bones shattered, and he crashed into several large trees, finally lying dead on the broken branches!
The leader of the blood-clad men said solemnly, "Shaolin Toughness Cultivation Method! You are indeed from Shaolin!"
Li Changfeng slowly let out a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "This leader of the blood-clothed men must be the murderer who killed the Dragon Gate Escort Agency. His strength is indeed not to be underestimated. His internal Inner Force is no less than mine, and he also has a group of experts helping him. It seems that it is best to leave and make plans later!"
