I Am Your Natural Enemy

At the moment the illusion was shattered, Wen Yan’s fist force was mostly depleted, yet instead of retreating, his body advanced. Withdrawing his fist, he thrust his elbow forward, crouching down at the last moment to break the second illusion that just appeared on the Mountain Ghost, pausing his steps, and delivering a fierce blow to the opponent’s chest, releasing all his energy in one go.

The Mountain Ghost withstood this strike, his chest caving in, but his hand seized the opportunity to grab Wen Yan’s arm.

In the next moment, an illusion from underground surged up, transforming into a giant hand that bit Wen Yan’s lower half, lifting him directly into the air.

Another illusion appeared over the Mountain Ghost, forming a massive mouth that lunged at Wen Yan.

Wen Yan gathered his five fingers of his left hand to his palm, hid all his nails, and formed a Five Thunders Seal with his hand, shouting deeply.

”Ha!”

With the Five Thunders Seal in hand, the flames continuously surging from his body seemed summoned and were instantly gathered together.

All of the power burst explosively as he threw out his force.

The massive mouth was blasted apart, and the moment the power poured out, the Gray Cloth coiled around his left arm suddenly tightened, pulling Wen Yan’s arm slightly off course.

The Five Thunders Seal, which had already missed the Mountain Ghost after shattering the illusion, was forcibly redirected, slamming heavily onto the Mountain Ghost’s face.

A glaring red-golden flame exploded instantly, and the power from Overflowing burst at once, forcibly collected by Wen Yan with the Five Thunders Seal, and poured all at one point, rushing into the Mountain Ghost’s body.

Red-golden flames began to bloom from the Mountain Ghost’s orifices, and with Wen Yan’s continuous glowing replenishment, they kept igniting. The red-golden light erupting from his orifices grew stronger and stronger.

The chains kept tearing continuously but couldn’t deplete his power. At this moment, as Wen Yan’s Heart Fire compatibility began to rise, it was combined with the overflowing Yang Energy and blood power, converting into a red-golden flame that ignited.

A large batch of illusions burst from Fifteenth Wang’s body, captured by chains the moment they appeared, none escaping.

Wen Yan with a stern face, holding the Five Thunders Seal, delivered another strike to the opponent’s head.

This time, the red-golden radiance blossomed, and as the illusions burst from Fifteenth Wang’s body, before the chains could bind them, they dissipated within the red-golden flames.

These Five Thunders, commonly thought to be heavenly, are actually entirely different things.

The common saying, ’Five Thunders Bombardment’, isn’t about being stricken on the head by thunder; the Five Thunders are Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth thunders.

The Metal Thunder actually refers to metallic weapons, oh, getting killed by a hundred-ton King counts too.

Wood Thunder refers to wooden weapons, dying from trees, or falling deaths.

Fire Thunder is the easiest to understand, being burned by fire or struck by thunder.

Water Thunder means drowning, floods, illness, or accidental causes.

As for Earth Thunder, it refers to being buried by earth, collapses, earthquakes, being submerged in cement, etc.

It essentially encompasses most forms of death, so anyone daring to swear to heaven invoking Five Thunders Bombardment, either truly isn’t afraid or is ignorant...

This Five Thunders Seal is also a commonly used Hand Print, among the Finger Prints Wen Yan learned, he found this one quite suitable for him.

It’s quite versatile, and the hand print looks like a clenched fist, easy to exert power, unlike Vajra Finger; when engaging in close combat, should he stick up a middle finger?

When he swapped in the overflowing, Yang Energy, blood power, Xin Dao’s power, Heart Fire, all could be converted into a unique flame; he thought of the Five Thunders Seal.

He tried it and indeed, the effect was excellently proven.

As the power within Fifteenth Wang transformed into a torrent of illusions rushing out, most were incinerated by the red-golden flames, vanishing without a trace, causing Fifteenth Wang to stagger and fall to the ground.

Wen Yan observed and indeed, no longer received a prompt.

That part of the Mountain Ghost’s power was forcibly incinerated by the red-golden flame, forcibly expelled.

Having lost resistance, Wen Yan then saw an abundance of chains, one by one, piercing through the mountain, converging from all directions, all swarming towards the large mouth behind Old Master Wang.

Once all the chains dissipated, peace was restored here.

Old Master Wang took the initiative to speak.

”Do not be discouraged, this entity has existed for too long; he resembles a concept rather than a physical being.

He’s not a standalone entity either, more like a conglomerate swarm, with the Mountain Ghost’s consciousness commanding the swarm.

You managed to destroy so much of his power single-handedly; it’s truly rare in this world.”

”I’m not discouraged; I just feel legends are not necessarily true, and he’s not immortal.”

Old Master Wang smiled, not discouraging Wen Yan, just offering encouragement instead.

”Having ambition is good.”

Old Master Wang looked at Wang Jianjun lying in the crack, with a knife in his back, yet still holding his head high with a song; he understood why Wang Jianjun was deceived and why he came.

He paid no heed to Wang Jianjun, instead beckoning to the child in the distance, hands covering his mouth in tears, gesturing for the child to come over.

The child walked over with his hands over his mouth, visibly still frightened, unable to comprehend the events here.

The masked Old Master Wang, extended a hand, patting the child’s head.

”It’s okay now, are you scared?”

Upon hearing this, the child could no longer hold back, tears streaming down as he shook his head while crying.
