<strong><u>Chapter 311: Yan Li</u></strong>


    “Tsk tsk. So it’s him.” Fa Ma suddenlyughed softly and coldly.


    “Old Fa, do you recognize him?” Haring Fa Ma’s words, Xiao Yan softly inquired.


    “Hee hee, I recognize him as the deputy chairman of the Chu Yun Empire’s Alchemist Association. His name seems to be called Yan Li. Back then, I met with him once. This fellow has quite a great reputation within the Chu Yun Empire. Additionally, this fellow is a great advocate for alchemists and ‘Poison Masters’ integrating together. Due to this, he has the trust of the poison masters in the Chu Yun Empire. Therefore, he is a very strong sessor to be the next Chu Yun Empire’s Alchemist Association chairman.” Fa Ma said.


    “It is just that I did not expect this fellow would actually dare toe to the Jia Ma Empire alone. It really is a case of skilled people tending to be really bold.” Fa Ma smiled faintly and said.


    “What do we do next?” Hai Bo Dong carelessly asked.


    “Let’s wait and see first.” Fa Ma mused for a moment before indicating for the few of them to wait patiently and not be rash.


    Xiao Yan nodded his head slightly and ceased speaking. He then lowered it and focused his gaze on therge man within the room. At the moment, his heart had also quietly sighed in relief. It was fortunate that this fellow was not someone who was only seventeen. Looking at his appearance, he was likely at least thirty seven years old. Although such a talent could be considered outstanding, the level of his potential that Xiao Yan recognized in his heart had suddenly descended by quite a few timespared to before.


    As the gray robed person within the room turned from a tender young man into a middle agedrge person, a forceful Qi had also came sshing out of his body. That force was strong and it actually faintly had some of the greatness of a Dou Wang ss strong person. It was likely that this middle agedrge man’s level was at least around a seven star Dou Ling.


    “Hu, it is somewhat morefortable to return to my original appearance. At the very least, I can unleash the full 100% of my ability.” The middle aged man smiled with satisfaction and said faintly as he sensed the surging force circting within his body.


    As his hand touched his face, the middle aged man seemed to have recalled something. He suddenly walked quickly toward the side of the bed. From behind the bed curtains, he found a ck thread and he gently pulled it.


    When Xiao Yan, who was on the roof, saw therge middle-aged man pulled the ck thread, his expression changed slightly. He abruptly moved his sight and his gaze stared intently at the bells which had been shocked to powder by Jia Lao earlier. At that spot, the ck thread suddenly moved. Not only did the bells fail to ring, but the ck thread was also pulled down.


    “Dammit!” As Xiao Yan muttered in his heart, the room was quiet for an instant before a stern cry suddenly sounded, “Who is above?”


    “Do it.” Hearing the cry, Jia Laoughed coldly. He waved his hand and his body abruptly disappeared. That terrifying speed caused Xiao Yan’s eyes to narrow.


    Following behind Jia Lao, Hai Bo Dong’s and Fa Ma’s bodies had also instantly transformed in a gentle breeze and disappeared from the roof.


    Within the room, therge middle-aged man eyed the edge of the ck thread which was empty. He was momentarily at a loss before he quickly let out a stern cry. At the same time he did so, his feet abruptly stepped on the ground and his body turned into a violent wind that shot toward the window.


    Just as he was only a couple of meters from the window, the middle-agedrge man’s face changed abruptly. His body, which was rushing forward, suddenly came to a stop. His palm violently mmed onto the pir by the side, borrowing the reverse force to instantly move his body a few meters.


    “Bang!” At this moment, the window suddenly burst apart. It contained an overbearing breath and underlying strength shot in from the spot where the window was at and smashed on the huge pir in the room. Immediately, numerous crack lines began to spread on the pir like a spider web.


    “Who is it?” As he eyed the pir that was covered with crack lines, therge man’s eyes narrowed and cried out fiercely.


    Ignoring the cry, a shadow shed, rushed through the window and entered the room. As the shadow’s sleeves were waved, a violent voice, apanied by a sonic boom that was like a muffled thunder, came sweeping through the room. Under this muffled thunder, the ss things within the room abruptly burst apart.


    Therge man had a dark expression as he watched the blurry looking human figure, who hade rushing in. He held his right hand straight and a dark yellow colored me rose from his palm. His right hand trembled slightly, turned into a hand knife shape, and ruthlessly hacked at the person who had just came in.


    “Humph!” Seeing that therge man had overestimated his own abilities and had actually wanted to stubbornly resist, the human shadow could not help but let out a mocking coldugh. His eagle w like hand was abruptly extended. Within the air, circles of overbearing forceful ripples gradually spread out from around his palm. The sound of the sonic boom shocked both the ears of therge man causing his ears rang.


    The eagle w and therge man’s hand knife came into contact in an instant. After which, they instantly separated. At the moment when they did so, a flush abruptly surged on therge man’s face. He could not resist spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. His feet dragged against the ground, leaving a deep scar.


    “Fa Ma, I know that it’s you guys! Since I, Yan Li, dared toe to the capital, I am not afraid that you would kill me. However, after you kill me, your alchemist association will also be finished!” After wiping the blood trance from the corner of his mouth, therge man saw that the human figure had wanted tounch a ferocious attack, but instead could only cry out with a sinister expression.


    The stern cry of therge man caused the human figure’s attacks to slow slightly. Quickly following this, however, a dark and cold killing intent soared out. As the eagle w moved, it was clear that it wanted to take the live of therge man.


    “Old Man Jia, wait!” Just as the human figure was about to finish off this fellow, Fa Ma’s deep cry suddenly sounded.


    Hearing this, the human figure was at a momentary loss. He could only helplessly and immediately withdraw his body. His body moved in a sh and appeared beside the table while he coldly and darkly stared at Yan Li who was paralyzed as he sat on the ground.


    “How ruthless.” On the roof, Xiao Yan was shocked as he watched Jia Lao who attacked without the slightest mercy. If it were not for that fellow called Yan Li reacting in a somewhat strong manner, it was likely that this Dou Ling who was about to be a Dou Wang would die in the first exchange.


    “Fa Ma, it indeed is the few of you!” After throwing up a mouthful of saliva that contained fresh blood, Yan Li darkly said.


    A gentle breeze swayed within the room. Immediately, the figures of Hai Bo Dong and Fa Ma appeared within it. Their gazes were icy cold as they stared at Yan Li.


    “Old Man Fa, isn’t it better to just kill him directly? Why are you giving him the opportunity of respite?” Jia Lao knit his eyebrows together and said. Although he wore a linen robe and had a friendly smile, he would not give the slightest concern about the difference in level between himself and the other party who he struck. Once he attacked, he would directly take the person’s life.


    Fa Ma shook his head. It was as Yan Li had said. As the deputy chairman of the Chu Yun Empire’s Alchemist Association, he had likely already prepared to be exposed when he had dared toe to the Jia Ma Empire’s capital where there were countless of strong people. Therefore, it was not likely that he had no ns to deal with it. If they were to really kill him here, they might end upnding into someone’s trap.


    “Hee hee, it seems that Fa Ma still sees very far. As long as you kill me, the news of the Jia Ma Empire’s Alchemist Association willfully killing off thepetitors to manipte who the champion of the Grand Meeting would swiftly spread throughout the few empires around the empire. When that timees, I want to see just how long this association of yours canst.” Yan Li swayed as he stood up. He then coldlyughed, “You can choose to believe or doubt these words of mine. If you want to gamble the reputation of the Alchemist Association, you cane and try.”


    “Yan Li, you had disguised your identity and participated in our Jia Ma Empire’s Alchemist Grand Meeting, viting the condition to participate in the Grand Meeting. ording to the rules, our association has the right to punish you.” Fa Ma said faintly.


    “Disguise? Ha ha, just because you said disguise, does it mean disguise?” Yan Li suddenly lifted his head andughed loudly. He flipped his hand and three red colored medicinal pill appeared at the tip of his finger. A dark yellow colored me rose and instantly incinerated those medicinal pills into nothingness,


    “Fa Ma, with your experience, I think that you should have heard the name ‘Appearance Recovery Pill’. That’s right, it is that thing that turned me into the appearance of a youth.” Yan Li proudlyughed, “This red colored medicinal pill was specially refined by our association. It is able to let me recover my old appearance. Ten minutester, my appearance will once again return to my youthful appearance. Now, the remaining three pills have already been destroyed by me. Do you think that there would be someone who will believe that I am the deputy chairman of the Chu Yun Empire’s Alchemist Association with that youthful appearance of mine? The people would only say that it is you, Fa Ma, quietly killed me because you were afraid of losing face when I, as a person from the Chu Yun Empire, obtained the champion position.”


    Fa Ma’s expression darkened. A cold glint shed in his turbid eyes.


    Yan Li smiled coldly at the vtile expression of Fa Ma. His heart was also uneasy. The other party consisted of three Dou Huangs. With this kind of lineup, it was extremely easy if they wanted to kill him. It may be as he had said earlier, that once he died, his people would begin to create arge amount of rumors in order to achieve their aim of crushing the Jia Ma Empire’s Alchemist Association. However, who did not fear death? Yan Li was not a hot-blooded person. If it were not for the position of the Chu Yun Empire’s Alchemist Association Chairman soon bing vacant, and that he had quite a few strongpetitors, then he would not have taken such a big risk and performed in this event where he had a great chance of losing his life in order to raise his reputation within the alchemist world of the Chu Yun Empire.


    “As long as I can sessfully return this time around, the position of the chairman of the Alchemist Association will definitely be mine. Without paying the price, what reward could there be? Moreover, Fa Ma’s ability may be strong, but he was too concerned about the association. Therefore, he might not take such a big risk.” Before he came, Yan Li had clearly analyzed Fa Ma’s character. However, an analysis was only an analysis. If there were any changes, then he would really be finished.


    “Hu.” The vtile expression Fa Ma suddenly expressed within the room caused a pressuring atmosphere. He coldly said, “Alright. I won’t kill you now. However, it may not be so easy if you want to obtain the champion spot of the Grand Meeting!”


    “Hee hee, you need not worry about this. In the Grand Meeting this time around, other than the young man called Yan Xiao, there is nothing unusual about the rest. If I cannot even contend with these people of the younger generation, how will I be able to fight for the spot of the association’s chairman?” Yan Li smiled and said as his heart quietly sighed in relief.


    “Then just wait and see.” The corner of Fa Ma’s mouth moved slightly. His voice was so icy cold that it appeared to have not even the slightest warmth, “Additionally, I hope that you can sessfully return to the Chu Yun Empire to fight for the position of the chairman.”


    “Let’s go.” Fa Ma called out in a low voice as he waved his sleeves gently. His body turned into a ck shadow under Yan Li’s ugly expression and shed out of the room. Behind him, Hai Bo Dong and Jia Lao could only helplessly follow.


    “Old fellow, you actually dared to threaten me. As long as I be the champion, my exposure will naturally be great. I don’t believe that you will dare to attack me when that timees.” Yan Li clenched his teeth together as he darkly said. He lifted his tea cup and violently poured it into his mouth, only to realize that his hand was trembling in a manner that could not be mistaken. It appeared that the trembling was due to fear.


    If he did not be the champion, the chase from three Dou Huangs would leave him with no path to escape.
