Chapter 2191 - 2187: Soul-Reaping Duo Hun
Sure enough, when Chu Li agrees on something in the Chu Family, no one dares to oppose it.
Everyone around looked at the bald man, who sighed deeply and said, "This time we lost, and we lost to the clinic. When Chu Qing returned earlier, he said it was a humiliation for him. But for our Chu Family, isn’t it the same? At such a crucial moment, I believe there are no fools in our Chu Family who would hire assassins."
"I don’t know if anyone from the Chu Family hired them, but all my Black Skull people died in front of the Chu Family’s clinic in Tianpo City. I think the Chu Family should give this old man an explanation."
A raspy voice came from outside the door, and two Chu Family elders guarding outside the hall were thrown in.
Receiving the two Chu Family elders, Chu Li’s eyes narrowed. These two elder members of the Chu Family had been captured without any defenses, and their Dantian had been destroyed. They could no longer cultivate Immortal Techniques in this lifetime.
"The people of Black Skull."
Chu Li’s gaze fell on the person in the black robe wearing a skull mask. He appeared somewhat hunched, and although his face was obscured by the mask, his sharp eyes could make people shiver.
"That’s right, this old man is Life-taking of Black Skull. Today, I’ve come to the Chu Family seeking an explanation."
Life-taking gave a sinister laugh, and the few black-robed individuals behind him all drew their Demon Blades.
Fog Shadow and Black Skull are similar, both training their own assassins, and these people are all trained by unified instructors.
The assassins of Black Skull in Tianpo City were all trained by Life-taking, especially the manager of Black Skull in Tianpo City. Life-taking had spent a lot of effort on them.
Life-taking even believed that if he were to fall one day, the person to inherit his position would be the manager of Tai Po City, Black Skull.
However, Black Skull was annihilated in one night, and there were no survivors in the entire Black Skull.
Life-taking knew that someone had found Black Skull’s headquarters and warned the Black Skull people not to take action against Tang Ming.
Although the destruction of Black Skull was closely related to that person named Tang Ming, the owner of Black Skull, Madam Skeleton still personally discussed this matter with Life-taking.
Life-taking was clear that Tang Ming was someone he dared not touch in this lifetime. If he did, it would not be just the Tianpo City branch of Black Skull that would be destroyed but the entire Black Skull.
The person who hired Black Skull to beat the murder drum for Tang Ming had extremely vicious intentions.
Therefore, Life-taking, despite opposition from Duo Hun and Madam Skeleton, personally brought people to the Chu Family.
In fact, even the people of Fog Shadow and Black Skull didn’t know the person who hired Black Skull to assassinate Tang Ming was Meng Liang, not someone from the Chu Family.
But many people believed that the grudge between the Chu Family and Tang Ming was evident, with Tang Ming blocking the Chu Family pharmacy’s sources of income.
Blocking someone’s financial road is akin to killing their parents. The Chu Family, accustomed to being tyrannical in Tianpo City, surely couldn’t swallow this anger, which is why they hired Black Skull.
During this meeting, everyone from the Chu Family felt that this matter had nothing to do with them, and they were wronged.
But in Life-taking’s ears, it seemed as if they were deliberately putting on a show for him.
"Duo Hun, Life-taking, the two great instructors of Black Skull beside Madam Skeleton. To have Life-taking personally visit our Chu Family, it truly is an honor beyond our station."
Chu Li signaled to the bald elder beside him, and the two of them leapt to the entrance of the meeting hall.
"Hehe, honor beyond our station? It’s truly the first time anyone has described my arrival this way. If I’m not mistaken, you are that old fellow Chu Li, right? I didn’t expect you to still be alive."
Life-taking’s eyes narrowed slightly. Without Chu Li present, he would have already taken action.
But he knew in his heart that Chu Li was not a simple person, and coming to cause trouble for the Chu Family this time might not succeed.
"Hahaha, there are so many people wishing for my death, so I still want to vex them for a few more years."
Chu Li laughed heartily, but a touch of murderous intent flashed through his eyes.
"Is that so? Then let me first learn the skills of the Chu Family’s ancestor, Chu Li. Your strength is said to be formidable, the cornerstone of the Chu Family’s standing here. Many of my Black Skull have died; it’s time to collect some interest."
A black chain flew out instantly, and a cold demonic energy was released from Life-taking.
Chu Li waved his hand: "Second brother, take everyone back. Without my orders, no one is allowed to come up."
Bang.
Chu Li reached out and grabbed Life-taking’s Life-taking Chain.
Grabbing the demon artifact surprised Life-taking. Logically, Chu Li shouldn’t make such a mistake.
After all, Immortal Cultivation and Demon Cultivation are two completely opposite cultivation methods.
When a demon artifact falls into the hands of an Immortal Cultivator, it will counteract the Immortal Cultivator. Even when Immortal Cultivators deal with Demon Cultivators, they rarely grab the other’s demon artifact.
"Chu Li? Have you gone senile? You dare to grab this old man’s Life-taking Chain. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, this old man will finish you today."
Life-taking laughed sinisterly, and the demonic energy on his body was instantly injected into the Life-taking Chain.
The demonic energy on the Life-taking Chain exploded instantly, like a black long snake, biting directly at Chu Li.
The corners of Chu Li’s lips curled into a faint smile. Initially, he hadn’t intended to kill. After all, the strength of Black Skull was not weak. But his avatar had fallen, and his true form was severely injured, urgently needing demonic energy to nurture the true form.
At this moment, Life-taking, to him, was a tonic. He felt that if he missed Life-taking, he’d have to hide for at least a few hundred more years.
Chu Li’s originally old face became youthful, and his face was covered in many dark red flowers, which bloomed one by one. Meanwhile, the demonic energy belonging to the Life-taking Chain weakened rapidly.
"This is? Other Shore Demon Path. You’re a Demon Cultivator."
Life-taking’s face turned ugly. He wanted to release his grip on the Life-taking Chain but found it no longer obeyed him and wrapped around his body instead.
"No, you can’t do this, Madam Skeleton won’t let you off."
Life-taking shouted, with a hint of plea in his voice.
Chu Li’s face lit with an excited smile. Life-taking’s strength was much more formidable than he had imagined.
A cultivator of the Other Shore Demon Path was strong because it perfectly restrained other Demon Cultivation Techniques.
Life-taking’s strength was no less than Chu Li’s, but he was perfectly restrained by Chu Li, leaving him with no chance to resist.
"Run, quickly run."
Life-taking shouted with the last of his strength, and the Life-taking Chain made a snapping sound, breaking into two sections, while Life-taking’s mask fell from his face.
It was a face of a very old man, his once black hair turned white, his wide eyes filled with unease.
