"We don't need to talk about martial ethics with a traitor who betrayed his sect and is unfilial. Let's attack him together!"

Cao Zuoqiu let out a low growl, and together with Qi Dongyuan and ten other experts who had achieved Force cultivation, they launched their attack.

"After practicing for so many years, you, and that old geezer, have never truly understood what the Five Elements Body Refining Technique is!"

Wang Daoyi let out a long roar.

His aura reached its peak at this moment.

Facing the siege of twelve powerful experts, he didn't need to fight all twelve simultaneously. He only needed to kill the opponent blocking him before the attacks of the other eleven arrived, and then use the explosive power of an Embrace Dan expert to create distance.

Fighting twelve at once was no different from fighting one on one.

Just like now...

Wang Daoyi stared intently at the strongest among the twelve – Cao Zuoqiu!

In his eyes, no one else existed besides himself.

The moment they were about to clash, Cao Zuoqiu unleashed his Dan Jin first, boosting his speed. His body shot forward like a launched arrow, and at extreme speed, his pouncing speed increased again. He intended to strike Wang Daoyi's weakest point with his strongest point as Wang Daoyi's aura reached its peak.

But...

Wang Daoyi understood the Five Elements Body Refining Technique and Cao Zuoqiu too well.

Furthermore, compared to Cao Zuoqiu, who was stationed at the Five Elements Sect teaching students, he had experienced far more life-and-death struggles.

In a flash of thought, he saw through Cao Zuoqiu's intention.

As he unleashed his power, the Qi and Blood within his body surged.

His internal organs rumbled!

Five Elements Body Refining!

Heart belongs to fire, lungs to metal, liver to wood, kidneys to water, spleen to earth.

The five energies of the Five Elements were simultaneously mobilized, circulated, and resonated at this moment, finally...

"Five Elements Unity!"

In front of his fist's force, an invisible white wave seemed to explode and scatter.

At this moment, Wang Daoyi's fist seemed to break through a barrier, surpassing a certain limit. He struck after Cao Zuoqiu but arrived first, hitting Cao Zuoqiu's chest fiercely just as Cao Zuoqiu's unleashed Dan Jin landed on him.

"Rumble!"

A muffled thunderclap seemed to echo in the void.

Cao Zuoqiu's chest, struck by the fist's force, instantly caved in, as if a fist imprint had appeared. The explosive power shattered the front of his clothes, pierced through his body, and caused a fist imprint formed by broken bones to bulge out from his back.

Cao Zuoqiu's eyes widened abruptly, filled with shock.

But the process of Embrace Qi into Dan itself required experiencing life-and-death terror.

At this moment, Cao Zuoqiu seemed to return to the scene of his Embrace Qi into Dan years ago. Even though he was hit in the chest by Wang Daoyi's punch and his internal organs were completely pulverized, he still mustered his remaining strength and fiercely struck at Wang Daoyi's head, forcing him to quickly change direction.

With this delay, Qi Dongyuan's attack, imbued with Dan Jin, descended with a roar.

The Force was like thunder.

It was a matter of lightning speed.

Even though Wang Daoyi was battle-hardened, he could only hastily block with his arm.

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

The sounds of the Force scattering and bones shattering rang out simultaneously.

Wang Daoyi's left ulna snapped, and his entire hand bent at an irregular angle.

"Is that... Gang Jin!?"

Li Pin recalled the exchange between the two earlier, his expression a little surprised.

Not only him, but some talented individuals in the crowd of onlookers also guessed.

"Did Wang Daoyi cultivate Gang Jin?"

"The standard for Gang Jin is emitting force three inches away. His force cannot leave his body; it must be some kind of secret technique!?"

Several experts from the black market in charge of maintaining order discussed.

"Senior brother!"

"Sect Leader!"

Cries of pain and anger erupted from the Five Elements Sect members.

Broken ribs, internal organs shattered by the Force – such injuries...

Even gods and immortals would find it hard to heal.

However, thanks to Cao Zuoqiu's delay, Wang Daoyi missed the opportunity to tear apart the target blocking him and was then besieged by Qi Dongyuan and several experts who had achieved great success in Force cultivation.

He instantly took several hits.

But having fought countless battles, his rich experience, accumulated through extreme danger, allowed him to instantly seize an opportunity to break through.

With a burst of Dan Jin, he was like a speeding truck, crashing hard into a master of the Five Elements Sect who had achieved great success in Qi and Blood. The master was sent flying five or six meters, and after hitting the ground, he slid another two or three meters.

Taking advantage of this opening, he pounced out and ran at full speed, instantly widening the distance between himself and the others.

As long as he could ensure he wasn't surrounded, he had plenty of ways to kill the ten members of the Five Elements Sect one by one.

"Stop him!"

Qi Dongyuan roared and pursued quickly.

The other nine masters of the Five Elements Sect followed closely behind.

Strike him while he's down.

Everyone knew this clearly.

Any secret technique would consume a tremendous amount of energy, not to mention he had taken a solid blow of Dan Jin. If they couldn't kill him now, once he recovered, it would surely be the doom of the Five Elements Sect.

Unlike most disciples, who could leave if they wished, they, as direct descendants of the Five Elements Sect, were bound to it. Their prosperity was shared, and their downfall was mutual.

At this moment, not a shred of hesitation could be allowed.

The battlefield shifted.

Li Pin followed closely.

Among the dozens of onlookers, most stopped upon seeing the tragic state of Cao Zuoqiu, a master of Embrace Dan, but three groups still followed, unwilling to miss this grand spectacle.

Everyone moved at an incredible speed, covering over a thousand meters in just a few minutes.

Qi Dongyuan led his men in pursuit, but did not rashly attempt to surround and kill.

The secret technique "Five Elements Unity" from the Five Elements Body Refining Technique was a Gang Jin secret technique, placing an immense burden on the internal organs.

If Wang Daoyi exerted himself vigorously after using "Five Elements Unity," his injuries would inevitably worsen.

Moreover...

Canglong City was the territory of the Five Elements Sect.

As time passed, more Five Elements Sect disciples, as well as friends of the Five Elements Sect, would be invited to join the pursuit of Wang Daoyi.

Time was on their side.

Wang Daoyi seemed to understand this.

At a certain moment, he suddenly darted into a corner. When Qi Dongyuan caught up, he suddenly turned back, his Qi and Blood burning like fire, unleashing three consecutive bursts of Dan Jin.

Although Qi Dongyuan could unleash Dan Jin, he had not yet embraced Qi into Dan. He blocked the first burst of Dan Jin, but his Qi and Blood became chaotic with the second. By the time Wang Daoyi's third burst of Dan Jin descended, he could no longer resist and was hit in the chest, flying out several meters.

The only reason he wasn't killed instantly was his cautious nature and the armor he wore underneath.

With no masters of Dan Jin to stop him, Wang Daoyi was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, charging into the nine masters of Qi and Blood and slaughtering them.

"Hahaha, only one old man and Zhao Yuan are left. What else can your Five Elements Sect use to stop my revenge!? I'll kill ten this month, and ten more next month. I want to see how many people in your Five Elements Sect are enough for me to kill!"

As his wild laughter echoed, the aura surrounding him surged to its peak.

After killing the fourth master of Qi and Blood, the remaining five were already overcome with fear and showed signs of collapse.

Seeing that the group from the Five Elements Sect was about to be annihilated, Qi Dongyuan, suppressing his fear and pain, looked around and shouted, "Wang Daoyi is a demon who has been placed on the wanted list by the Canglong City Martial Arts Association, with a bounty of ten million. My Five Elements Sect is willing to add another twenty million and implores all fellow martial artists to act righteously, eliminate this demon, and uphold the order of the Canglong City martial arts world!"
