As they watched Lu Yurong, they could see that her face was as pale as white jade, her eyes as cool as frosty starlight

The maids knew that it was already too late to stop so all they could do was to watch her perform her secret technique

Lu Yurong stretched out her pasty fingers and tapped twice on Chu Li's chest but ier force entered his body, it felt as if it was entering a wooden log, Chu Li's body was like dead wood, completely devoid of any acupuncture point

She took a deep breath and continued pressing on his acupuncture points, tapping on thirty-six points in one go After that, sheher slowly faded away

When the warlow left her body, she spat another mouthful of blood

“Lady Lu, the Master is here!” Xiao Mei called out from afar

High Duke Lu was clothed in a green tunic, and with an air of grace and elegance, he strode to the gazebo

As he caught sight of Lu Yurong's ghastly face and frantic look, he muttered “Nonsense!”

Then, he struck her back with his paly into her

Lu Yurong ilow returned to her eyes “Dad!”

“Don't worry, Head Chief Chu can't die in our residence!” High Duke Lu huffed and checked Chu Li's wrist However, after checking on his precordiuht frown on his forehead and a regretful shake of his head “It's too late!”

He turned his head and asked, “Has he taken the Adversity Surpassing Pill?”

“Yes” Xiao Mei nodded anxiously

High Duke Lu searched Chu Li's inner pockets and took out a jade bottle froreen pills “These are the Spirit Blessing Pills from the Yi Public House!”

Putting one of the Spirit Blessing Pills into Chu Li'sPill can save anyone within six hours of the person's death and retain his last breath… But if he can't regain consciousness even after consu Pill, then this could very well be his fate, not even Buddha save him!”

“Dad…!” Lu Yurong chided

High Duke Lu advised “Lassie, life and death are decreed by fate, rank and riches determined by heaven When the fate of our own lives is not within our control, what more can we do about the lives of others!”

He was resigned to the inevitable fact of life and death, his tone on the nificant as an ant

Lu Yurong glared at him in dissatisfaction

“Why, have you fallen for this boy?” High Duke froze

Lu Yurong scoffed “He's in this state to save otten injured, much less lose his life!”

High Duke Lu nodded “Saving a damsel in distress… He's a real man!”

Lu Yurong questioned, “So can he be saved?”

She had faith in Chu Li, she knew deep down that Chu Li was a survivor, the type to stay alive even when others had all fallen to their deaths Although she had witnessed Chu Li die of asphyxiation, she had a feeling that Chu Li was not dead yet and that it was all just a big fat joke

High Duke Lu shook his head “It's over”

“I denied

High Duke Lu checked on Chu Li's breathing and touched his precordiuretfully “No pulse, no breathing and with his body starting to harden, there's no doubt that he's really dead!”

“It's not possible!” Lu Yurong was unconvinced, she stepped forward and touched Chu Li's wrist

The corners of her otten worse after using her secret skill

As she pressed down on hi her touch and as her inner energy went in further, she found his body as stiff as a log, completely devoid of life

Lu Yurong gritted her teeth and shook her head “He cannot die!”

Chu Li's sht before her eyes as she stared at the corpse in front of her, she could not believe that the ht smile was the saedy that befell Chu Li

“Anyone can die” High Duke Lu patted her shoulder and sighed
