Planet Pulverizer: A Mortal's Ascent

Chapter 27: Watch

"There's no need to consider the morality and justice normally observed in the martial world when dealing with this kind of disloyal and unfilial person who betrayed his master. Let's attack together!"

Cao Zuoqiu let out a low roar. With Qi Dongyuan and the ten skilled Force Cultivators, he attacked!

"After practicing for so many years, both you and that old thing don't even know what the true Five Elements Body-Refining Art is really like!"

Wang Daoyi let out a long whistle, and his aura reached a peak. He was facing a siege of twelve experts, but he didn't need to fight all twelve of them at the same time. All he needed to do was kill the opponent at the forefront before the attacks of the other eleven experts reached him. He'd rely on the eruption as a Core Force expert to pull distance from the enemies.

If he did it this way, there would be no difference between fighting one person or twelve.

Wang Daoyi had his eyes fixated on the strongest of the twelve—Cao Zuoqiu!

In his eyes, no one else existed besides him.

Just as Wang Daoyi and Cao Zuoqiu were about to clash, Cao Zuoqiu erupted his Core Force and ramped up his speed. His body shot out like an arrow. Despite his speed already reaching a great limit, he erupted with even more speed, exceeding that limit. He intended to attack Wang Daoyi's weakest point with the strongest part of his body before the latter could gather his momentum

However, Wang Daoyi knew the Five Elements Body-Refining Art and Cao Zuoqiu too well. Furthermore, he had been through a lot of life-and-death battles. On the other hand, Cao Zuoqiu only oversaw the Five Elements Sect and taught students. When it came to life-and-death battles, he was much less experienced than Wang Daoyi.

Wang Daoyi saw through Cao Zuoqiu's intentions with just a glance.

Wang Daoyi's qi and blood seethed, and a wave of rumbles went through his internal organs!

Five Elements Body-Refining Art!

The heart represented fire, the lungs represented metal, the liver represented wood, the kidneys represented water, and the spleen represented earth.

The five elements and five qi's were mobilized simultaneously, circulating, resonating, and finally....

"Five Elements Unity!"

As Wang Daoyi threw his punch, filled with Fist Force, an invisible layer of white waves seemed to explode and scatter.

Wang Daoyi's fist seemed to break through a barrier, surpassing some sort of limit. His fist landed, ruthlessly smashing into Cao Zuoqiu's chest as his erupting Core Force landed on him.

Rumble!

A muffled thunder seemed to resound in the void.

Cao Zuoqiu's chest, bombarded by the Fist Force, instantly collapsed, and it caved in into a fist imprint. The force of the impact caused his clothes to burst, and it went through his body to his back, shattering the bones on his back. A second fist imprint appeared on his back.

Cao Zuoqiu's eyes widened, his eyes filled with horror.

When a martial artist was condensing qi to form the Core, they'd walk the line separating life and death, causing them to experience horror. At this moment, Cao Zuoqiu seemed to return to the day he was consolidating qi to form a Core.

Wang Daoyi's punch had shattered Cao Zuoqiu's internal organs. However, Cao Zuoqiu didn't stop. He continued to summon his remaining Force and struck out at Wang Daoyi's head violently, forcing him to make a sharp turn.

At that moment, Qi Dongyuan's Core Force strike came down with a bang.

The Force was like thunder.

Lightning flashed.

Despite being experienced and having participated in a hundred battles, Wang Daoyi could only hastily cross his arms to block.

Boom!

Crack!

The sound of the Force blowing apart and the sound of bones breaking resounded simultaneously.

Wang Daoyi's left arm ulnar bone broke and his entire arm was bent in an unnatural manner.

“That’s ... Aura Force!?”

Li Pin looked a little astonished as he recalled the exchange between the two just now. He was not the only one, there were also talented people in the crowd who shared the same thoughts as him.

"Wang Daoyi has attained Aura Force?”

"The standard for Aura Force is to unleash three inches of Force. His Force can't leave his body, so it should be some kind of secret technique?"

A few experts in charge of overseeing the black market discussed amongst themselves.

“Martial Senior!”

“Sect Master!”

Painful, angry cries rang out from the crowd of the Five Elements Sect.

Cao Zuoqiu's ribs had been broken, and the Force had crushed his internal organs. Even if God or Immortals were to descend, they'd still find it difficult to heal injuries of this degree.

However, because of Cao Zuoqiu's actions that delayed Wang Daoyi, Wang Daoyi missed the chance to tear apart his first target, giving the chance to Qi Dongyuan and the few experts who mastered Force to encircle him.

Wang Daoyi received a few hits instantly. However, he wasn't a novice. He had his fair share of battles. Despite the extreme danger, his rich combat experience allowed him to find an opportunity to break out.

Accompanied by the eruption of Core Force, he was like a speeding truck, ruthlessly slamming into an expert of the Five Elements Sect. The expert was sent flying five or six meters away. Even after hitting the ground, the expert glided for two or three meters before finally screeching to a halt.

Taking advantage of this opening, Wang Daoyi pounced and ran wildly at full speed, instantly pulling away from the others.

As long as he made sure that he didn't fall into the encirclement, he had ways to kill the ten people of the Five Elements Sect one by one.

"Stop him!" Qi Dongyuan roared in a low voice.

He gave chase quickly. The other nine Five Elements Sect's experts followed closely behind.

They had to seize the opportunity to slay him while he was hurt. Every single one of them understood this very clearly.

The execution of any secret technique was bound to be extremely exhausting. Moreover, Wang Daoyi had been struck with Core Force. If they couldn't take advantage of this opportunity to kill him, it would surely be the end of the Five Elements Sect when he recovered.

They were unlike most of the students, who could quit if they wanted to. They belonged to the disciples who had inherited the legacy of the Five Elements Sect. They had already been bound together with the Five Elements Sect—one glory for all, one shame for all. At a time like this, they had to not flinch, not even an inch.

The battlefield shifted.

Li Pin followed closely.

Most of the dozens of onlookers stopped in their tracks as they watched the tragic situation of Core Force Master Cao Zuoqiu. There were, however, still three groups of people who followed, refusing to miss such a big show.

The crowd moved extremely fast, and in just a few minutes, they were already thousands of meters away.

Qi Dongyuan followed with his men and did not recklessly encircle Wang Daoyi to fish for the kill.

Five Elements Body-Refining Art's secret move—Five Elements Unity—was an Aura Force secret technique. It placed a burden on the internal organs.

Wang Daoyi struck out Five Elements Unity and had continued with strenuous movements. His injuries were bound to worsen.

Not to mention, Zanglong City was the Five Elements Sect's territory. It was only a matter of time before more disciples and allies of the Five Elements Sect joined in the siege to kill Wang Daoyi.

Time was on their side.

Wang Daoyi seemed to be well aware of this too, as he suddenly scampered into a corner and waited for Qi Dongyuan to inch in behind him. He turned around and struck three blows of Core Force.

Although Qi Dongyuan could strike out Core Force, he had not been able to consolidate qi to form a Core. So, while he had blocked the first Core Force strike, when the second Core Force struck, his qi and blood went into disarray.

As Wang Daoyi struck the third blow of Core Force, Qi Dongyuan couldn’t withstand it anymore and received a hit squarely in the chest, sending him flying out several meters.

Thankfully for him, he didn't die. He was prudent by nature, and he had worn a piece of protective armor underneath his clothes.

Without a Core Force expert to stop him, Wang Daoyi was like a tiger among a flock of sheep, charging toward the nine Force experts to kill them.

"Hahaha, with only one old thing and one Zhao Yuan left, what else does the Five Elements Sect have to block my revenge? I'll kill ten this month, and ten more next month! I'd like to see how many of you Five Elements Sect disciples are left for me to kill!"

Accompanied by his reckless laughter, Wang Daoyi's aura shot up to the maximum.

Now that Wang Daoyi had killed his fourth Force expert, the remaining five people from the Five Elements Sect, who were already overtaken with fear, seemed to tip to the verge of defeat.

If the situation continued, the group from the Five Elements Sect would be completely wiped out.

Qi Dongyuan forcefully endured his horror and pain. He looked in all directions, and yelled, "Wang Daoyi is an evil demon who is listed on the Zanglong City Martial Society's bounty list, with a bounty of ten million yuan! We, the Five Elements Sect, would like to add twenty million yuan to the bounty! We would like to implore all of you to come out and fight in a spirit of righteousness, to kill the evil demon, and to support the order of the Zanglong City's martial arts community!"
