Chapter Thirty-Four: A Great Disparity in Strength

  Upon hearing Gao Tianming's words, Murong Lie laughed and said: "I didn't expect you to still remember me, but I don't know your name yet."

  Gao Tianming looked at Murong Lie coldly and said, "My name is Gao Tianming. I don't know why you've come to find me so late, Brother Murong. What's this about?"

  Murong Lie raised his head and glanced at the sky, saying: "I'm just a bit curious about Brother Gao, so I want to understand it. Can Brother Gao enlighten me?"

  "Clarify? I'm just an ordinary old hundred surnames, what can clarify for Brother Murong?" Gao Tianming's tone was somewhat unfriendly.

  Murong Lie seemed to have heard something amusing and chuckled, saying: "I don't care if you're an ordinary person or not, what I find strange is that you didn't bring an invitation, so why did I see your figure upstairs again today?"

  Gao Tianming raised an eyebrow and said: "The matter at the dance party? You kept me here today just for this small thing?"

  "Is it a small matter?" Murong Lie seemed to have looked at the stars in the sky enough, lowered his head and said: "This is not a small matter, since it was said that an invitation letter must be presented to enter, it must be followed."

  Seeing Murong Lie's persistence on this matter, Gao Tianming said: "Then according to your view, how should this matter be handled?"

  Murong Lie placed his fingers on his temples and rubbed them, saying: "Indeed, it's a bit of a headache, but those who break the rules of the game will always have to accept punishment, right?"

  The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became a bit subtle, and Gao Tianming asked: "Brother Murong has said so much, probably thought of a way too?"

  Murong Lie smiled lightly and said, "Punishment is too light to be effective, so in order to make you remember, I've decided to cut off one of your arms. What do you think?" Murong Lie's tone was gentle, and when he spoke these words, it seemed as if he were cutting off a strand of hair rather than an arm.

  Gao Tianming's eyes narrowed and he said, "What if I don't agree?"

  Murong Lie's face slowly curled up with a sneer as he said, "Why refuse? This is already the lightest punishment."

  "Really?" Gao Tianming slowly assumed a Tai Chi stance and said, "I'm having some trouble bringing myself to do it, so I'll have to trouble Mu Rong for his help."

  Murong Lie smiled and said, "I am more than happy to help others." As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Lie's bangs fluttered up, and a strong aura, half again as powerful as Wang Ziqi's, emanated from his body.

  Gao Tianming didn't dare to slack off and hastily activated his own special ability.

  Murong Lie assumed a sword-pointing posture, then took a step forward. The distance of over 10 meters between the two was covered in one stride by Murong Lie, and his sword pointed directly at Gao Tianming's right arm. Gao Tianming attempted to deflect Murong Lie's sword with a Cloud Hand move, but only managed to graze it, and a streak of fresh blood shot out from the back of Gao Tianming's hand.

  "Ah" Gao Tianming's pupils suddenly contracted, "It's too scary, Murong Lie's finger sword is like a real sword, Gao Tianming's hand was only touching his wrist and he was already injured, if he touched Murong Lie's fingertips, then his palm might have been crippled. It seems that Murong Lie wanting to take one of his arms was not a joke, he really has the ability."

  As soon as a thought flashed through Gao Tianming's mind, Murong Lie had already made his move. At the moment when Murong Lie acted, Gao Tianming immediately turned his waist and stretched out his arm, took a step forward, swung his arm, swung his leg, covered his foot, and swung his arm to strike an empty space with the "Pouncing Tiger" technique.

  Just as Gao Tianming finished this move, Murong Lie's figure had already appeared at Gao Tianming's fist, and all of this looked like Murong Lie intentionally collided with Gao Tianming's fist.

  Just as he was about to move, Gao Tianming's fist came at him. Murong Lie's eyes flashed with surprise, and it was already impossible for him to continue dodging. Gao Tianming's grasp of the timing was extremely clever.

  But strangely, Murong Lie didn't even want to dodge in the slightest, and instead waited for Gao Tianming's punch.

  The sound of Gao Tianming's fist colliding with Murong Lie's body was like the sound of fingernails scraping against glass. Gao Tianming himself felt that his fist had hit something like a smooth mirror surface, and the force in his hand was directly dissipated, while Murong Lie didn't even move.

  Gao Tianming didn't dare to pursue, and instead retreated 5 meters away from Murong Lie, who also didn't give chase. He just stood there with a faint smile, watching Gao Tianming.

  Looking at Murong Lie, Gao Tianming felt his throat a bit dry, "Fourth heavy tomorrow?"

  Murong Lie didn't answer, but instead smiled and said: "You've surprised me a bit. You were actually able to predict my line of attack earlier. I'm finding you more and more interesting now."

  Gao Tianming's heart sank a little, Mu Ronglie had an obvious attacking technique on him, and that technique could actually make his internal energy sharp like a sword after running, and Mu Ronglie's own internal energy level reached the fourth stage of acquired skill, so he could liquefy his internal energy. That's why when Gao Tianming hit him, he would have that feeling. His attack couldn't compare to Mu Ronglie's, and his own attack couldn't break through Mu Ronglie's defense either, this was troublesome.

  What is unknown now is whether Murong Lie's internal force has reached the peak of the fourth heaven, if so, there will be no chance for himself. If not, his liquidized internal force cannot run out of the body to the face or throat, but which one is it now, the face or the throat?

  He only had one chance, if he made a mistake, Murong Lie would focus on protecting the untrained position, and this time he would really be in danger.

  Murong Lie looked at Gao Tianming's forehead and saw beads of sweat, smiling as he said: "You look a bit tense, I'm going to start attacking now!"

  When he heard Murong Lie's words, Gao Tianming's body suddenly tensed up. Feeling the threat of death to himself, the light ball in Gao Tianming's mind accelerated its rotation, and Gao Tianming himself felt a swelling sensation in his head, involuntarily using all his abilities at once.

  Then something strange happened, and Gao Tianming suddenly felt that two scenes appeared in his mind.

  The first scene (Murong Lie appears from behind Gao Tianming, with one finger slicing towards Gao Tianming's right arm), the first scene plays up to this point, and only then does the second scene start to have a pattern (Gao Tianming takes a step back, an elbow strike directly hits Murong Lie's throat, the feeling of the elbow tip is like entering a ball of cotton).

  "Ah!" Gao Tianming felt a wave of dizziness in his mind, biting the tip of his tongue to wake himself up. Seeing Mu Ronglie suddenly disappear in front of him, Gao Tianming didn't dare to slow down and threw an elbow strike towards the back.
