Chapter Five: Fierce Battle

  Jin Wentao watched as Jin Yitian used the incredibly powerful Inverse Thunder Finger to attack him, and quickly mobilized the yuanqi in his body to his feet. With a swift kick, he shot up into the sky at an incredible speed, hovering in mid-air to avoid Jin Yitian's powerful attack. Jin Yitian saw that Jin Wentao had escaped his range of attack, and with a smooth motion, raised his right hand upwards, shouting towards Jin Wentao: "You can't escape, Inverse Thunder Finger Second Segment - Inverse Thunder Flow!" A strong electric current shot out from the tip of Jin Yitian's right index finger, blasting towards Jin Wentao. Jin Wentao was shocked to see the electric current blast coming his way.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The moment the electric current came into contact with Jin Wentao, a loud explosion erupted, causing Luo Liyang and Lei Yi to be shocked and frightened. At this very moment, golden light burst forth from the sky, shining so brightly that it was painful to look directly at it. A figure clad entirely in golden light floated in mid-air, glaring furiously at Jin Yitian: "This move of yours is truly formidable, almost taking my life! You've even forced out my trump card... It seems that your current cultivation has far surpassed mine."

  Jin Yitian exclaimed in surprise: "You beast, I didn't expect you to actually master (Fumo Jinkang Bian)". Jin Yitian looked at the radiant Jin Wentao with some guard.

  "Less nonsense, Jin Yitian, your time is up, accept your death!" Jin Wentao shouted.

  Jin Wentao's arrogance is due to the Fumo Golden Body Transformation, a secret technique of the Jin family that combines offense and defense. After using it, his body undergoes a drastic change, with all muscles, bones, and skin becoming as hard as steel, covered in a golden aura like a person made of gold. His strength increases several times over, but the only drawback is a decrease in movement speed. Moreover, fewer than ten people in history have successfully mastered this technique, which is why Jin Yitian was left speechless.

  "I'll go in close and launch a main attack on him, Lei Yi and your several subordinates will provide long-range support from the sky, Luo Liyang will serve as the deputy attacker, let's do it this way." After finishing speaking, Jin Wentao flew towards Jin Yitian.

  "Alright, let's do it his way and divide our labor." Although Lei Yi and Luo Liyang were a bit annoyed by Jin Wentai's arrangement of their tasks, they had no other choice but to follow his method in dealing with Jin Kaitian.

  Jin Wentao charged at Jin Yitian with a fierce punch, and Jin Yitian could feel the pure power emanating from Jin Wentao's fist, which was at least over 10,000 kilograms. Not daring to be slow, he quickly retreated backwards.

  With a swift sidestep, Jin Yitian dodged Jin Wentao's powerful and sinking punch. Seeing that Jin Yitian had cleverly avoided his attack, Jin Wentao's hand transformed into a knife-like shape and slashed across Jin Yitian's chest. The wind element rapidly condensed on his hand, and Jin Wentao instantly conjured up a gust of wind blades that sliced towards Jin Yitian.

  Jin Yitian also condensed wind blades on both hands to block Jin Wentao's attack, but due to Jin Wentao using the Fumo Golden Vajra Transformation, his power was terrifyingly immense. With one strike, he sent Jin Yitian crashing onto the ground.

  At this moment, Luo Liyang, who had been hiding underground, saw that Jin Yitian had been knocked down by Jin Wentao and quickly condensed a hand gesture. Over a hundred wooden spears suddenly appeared around him, floating beside him. These spears were crafted from wood using Luo Liyang's elemental powers, with an extremely compressed density that made them as hard as iron.

  Luo Liyang pointed both hands towards the direction where Jin Yitian was falling: "Wooden Spears, Hundred Kills!"

  Lei Yi saw Jin Yitian fall from the sky, and his several subordinates also made a hand seal. Everyone's hands condensed powerful thunder element balls. They attacked Jin Yitian who was falling: "Thunder Light Cannon." In an instant, dozens of Thunder Light Cannons with astonishing elemental density and hundreds of strong wooden spears shot towards Jin Yitian.

  Jin Yitian saw a large number of thunder cannons and wooden spears attacking him, so he spread his hands apart. His right hand faced the direction of the incoming thunder cannon, while his left hand faced the direction of the wooden spear. Both hands exerted force simultaneously, and his right hand absorbed the attack from the thunder cannon in the same way as before. Meanwhile, a large fireball shot out from the palm of his left hand towards the hundred or so wooden spears that were flying towards him. The moment the fire came into contact with the wood, the spears turned to ashes. Jin Yitian also compressed and released a fire element, creating another fireball with an extremely high temperature that instantly burned the wooden spears to ashes. Before anyone could react, Jin Yitian's hands moved again, his fingers pointing towards Jin Wentai: "Inverse Thunder Finger Three Segments - Inverse Thunder Break." A dazzlingly bright and straight bolt of lightning shot towards Jin Wentai, who was floating in mid-air, at a speed several times faster than the previous Inverse Thunder Flow.

  Jin Wentai stared at the rapidly rising Lei Guang in shock, and he didn't expect his Fumo Jinkang to be so weak in front of Jin Yitian's attack. As Lei Guang approached, Jin Wentai crossed his hands over his head, unable to do anything but forcibly block Jin Yitian's super-strong blow. Jin Yitian landed lightly on the ground with both feet, but his head remained in the air, as he wanted to see Jin Wentai's life or death with his own eyes. The many attacks earlier were all aimed at Jin Wentai, and each time he used a holy-level intermediate super-strong martial skill. If these skills hit the ground directly, they would have enough destructive power to blast a deep pit with a diameter of hundreds of meters on the ground. However, Jin Wentai was a master of the eighth level of the Fusion Realm, making it difficult to predict the situation. Feeling that his internal energy consumption was still a bit fast, Jin Yitian took a few rough breaths to quickly recover his energy.

  "Boom, boom, boom, boom." The explosion shook the heavens and the earth. The shockwave generated by the blast blew sand and rocks into the air, illuminating the entire night sky with lightning. Lei Yi and Luo Liyang stared blankly at the sky, not expecting Jin Yitian's strike to be several times stronger than the previous one.

  "Ugh... That's a pretty intense Reverse Thunder Finger." A pained voice came from Kim Won-tae in the sky, and it was clear that the previous Reverse Thunder Finger had dealt significant damage to him. His breathing was also rapid. Due to the powerful defense of the Fow-Mengjin, the Reverse Thunder Finger did not cause much damage to his muscles, bones, or skin. Now, he looked almost the same as before, but the explosive power of the Reverse Thunder Finger had caused considerable internal injuries, and his painful expression looked somewhat disheveled.

  "Pffft......" Jin Wentao couldn't hold it in anymore and spat out a mouthful of blood.

  "It seems that your Demon-Subduing Vajra Transformation is still not enough to withstand my powerful blow. But do you think my strength stops at this? Come out, friend! You've been hiding for so long, and I've known you were here all along!" Jin Ye Tian roared in anger.

  "Wow, impressive! As expected of the former head of the Jin family, your abilities surpass others. I was hiding so secretly, yet you still discovered me, haha, I guess I have no choice but to come out now." A black-clothed, masked figure emerged from a dense thicket, clapping his hands as he walked out slowly.

  "Take off your mask, I know who you are, why hide it anymore!" Jin Yitian glared at the person walking out.

  "Oh? You've figured this out too, haha." The masked person smiled as he took off his mask.

  "Lin Li, it's really you. I've long since seen that you're not normal. Tell me, why are you with this bunch of people? Are you all in cahoots?" Jin Tian's tone carried a hint of disdain.

  As Lin Li took off his mask, Jin Wentao, Luo Liyang and Lei Yi bowed their hands together to Lin Li: "Greetings, Lord Lin." Lin Li ignored them, looking directly at Jin Yitian.

  "I've already taken off my mask, I think, County Magistrate Jin, no, it should be County Magistrate Du now, you should take off your mask too, right? We should return the courtesy, don't you think?" Lin Li said with a hint of playfulness.

  Jin Yitian also pulled down his mask, revealing the man in front of everyone as Du Yongquan, the town mayor of Chang Le Town. The current Jin Yitian is Du Yongquan, and Du Yongquan is also Jin Yitian, only now he looks younger than the gentle and elegant town mayor people usually see, with a handsome appearance, and an aura that no one can match, his eyes filled with endless killing intent, giving off the feeling of a king who would rather die than yield to anyone.

  "You haven't answered my question yet?" Jin Yitian pointed at Lin Li coldly.

  "You ask me why they are together, isn't it simple? They all came here to find you under my intention. How could the Golden Clan Chief not see through it? You already know who I am, and still can't guess our purpose? However, I must say that I admire the Golden Clan Chief. My previous layout actually couldn't deceive you, impressive! I don't know how the Golden Clan Chief saw through the layout!" Lin Li clapped his hands and said.

  "Hmph, do you think you're so clever? From the first day I met you, I suspected that there was something wrong with you. As a Kontinental Master, how could you possibly look down on Du Yongquan, an ordinary person? You treat other ordinary people like ants, but towards me, you are extremely respectful. Either you have a problem with your brain or you have an ulterior motive. This is just one of them; the second is that this year's testing conference, your sect sent out twice as many testers as before, and the number of participants was also double that of previous years. All these signs point to the fact that you are behind the scenes manipulating things in Cloud Gate Sect. You mobilized a large number of people to tie up my time, making me too busy to take care of matters at home, so that you can make a move on my son. You wanted to use my son as leverage against me. Last night, while I was drunk, you sent someone to my residence to capture my son. Fortunately, I had anticipated this and have already moved my son to a safe location. Now, you don't have anything that can threaten me. If I'm not mistaken, those testers are the black-clothed men behind you, and their cultivation levels have reached the Inverse Empty Boundary of Kontinental Master. You must have used some means to conceal their true cultivation level, making it seem like they were only at the Kontinental Boundary. Am I right, Lin Li?" Jin Yitian's eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he stared straight at Lin Li, his hands clasped behind his back.

  "Haha... as expected, you're indeed more intelligent than others. I admire you." Lin Bian clapped his hands and shook his head, saying: "I thought sending the three of them would be enough to take you down, but I didn't expect your strength to be so powerful. The three of them joining forces are no match for you." Jin Wentao, Luo Liyang, and Lei Yi exchanged a glance, speechless.

  "It seems that only the great master himself can take action, come, let me see how strong the genius of the Jin family, who has not been seen in a hundred years, really is!?" Lin Li's right hand pointed towards Jin Yitian, and the aura emanating from him formed a wild wind that spread out.

  Jin Ye Tian's black night-traveling attire was blown up, rippling with waves, but Jin Ye Tian stood still on the spot with an aura of invincibility.
