Infinite Fighting

After contacting Liu Hetong, Yan Ruifeng learned the truth of the matter.

All members of the Five Elements Sect were arrested and imprisoned in the law enforcement bureau's jail.

Zhang Ji did not resist.

This ordeal must be endured; without first letting go, there is no way to gain.

By midnight, Yan Ruifeng and Liu Hetong had reached an agreement, and everyone was released.

On the way back, everyone became much more subdued.

Shen Han was still unaware of what had happened, only feeling that the authorities were making a mountain out of a molehill, that a simple investigation had brought so many people over.

Golden Hook Mountain.

Under the cover of night, Zhang Ji stood up, having finished his training.

His consciousness was immersed in the [Limited Boundary] space, and he had mastered the Five Elements Fist.

Next, we can increase the intensity further and master both [Waterfall] and [True Qi Nourishing Spirit Technique].

This brought them back to the level they were at when they left the Eastern Pole Kingdom.

As long as Dongji Country doesn't use unconventional weapons, he can easily deal with it.

Time continued to flow, and everything continued to unfold according to the original timeline and plot.

Yan Ruifeng began to dismiss his disciples, and most of his assets were taken over by Liu Hetong's men. In just a few days, there were hardly any people left on the entire Golden Hook Mountain.

Besides Zhang Ji and his group, only a few staff members remained to keep the basic operations running.

December 8th.

The originally arranged plane tickets and other documents were intercepted, so Yan Ruifeng turned to smuggling boats instead.

Gu Shuangshuang is in good condition now, and Zhang Ji thinks that there is a high probability that Li Long will not storm into the councilor's house again.

But on that very day, something suddenly happened.

Shen Han is in trouble!

"The people from the Qianshan Sect hijacked the ship! Elder Chen Anhe also escaped with serious injuries. True Disciple Shen Han was captured. They demand that True Disciple Li Long personally go to the mountain to apologize before they will release him."

The disciple who returned with the message quickly and briefly recounted the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruifeng and Li Long were furious, and several elders also revealed murderous intent in their eyes.

“Ah Long, the fact that the Qianshan Sect chose to make a move at this time is definitely not just their idea; they want to deplete our strength,” Yan Ruifeng said.

“I know, but I have to go and save Junior Brother Shen,” Li Long said with a determined expression.

Zhang Ji was also in the conference room. Hearing these things, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

This is a correction of spacetime.

Once the information has been confirmed, it will flow back in its original direction.

Even if Gu Shuangshuang hadn't sent Li Long to his death, there would have been other things that required Li Long's intervention.

"Let's think about this carefully," Elder Liu Shan advised.

That's what he said, but what he really meant was that he was giving up on Shen Han.

Li Long looked at Wang Quan, hoping to hear his opinion.

“We can’t afford any more turmoil. Let’s sue for peace,” Wang Quan said after a moment’s hesitation.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Li Long's eyes, but considering the entire sect, he finally said, "I will send a letter."

After the meeting ended, Li Long didn't say a word, but everyone could see his resentment.

But at this point, how could the Five Elements Sect possibly start a war with a sect whose strength was no weaker than theirs?
Gu Shuangshuang comforted Li Long for a while, but Li Long persuaded her to leave, leaving them alone.

Zhang Ji watched all of this, and some thoughts began to form in his mind.

That night.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Li Long quietly opened the door and stepped out. He had made up his mind to venture into the Qianshan Sect alone and rescue Shen Han.

As soon as he came out, he encountered someone.

It was Zhang Ji.

"Not asleep?" Li Long asked, feigning nonchalance.

"Let's go together," Zhang Ji said directly, ignoring Li Long's awkward attempt at a topic.

Li Long was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."

He never expected that the one who understood him best was this disciple with whom he had spent less than a year.

Even in such a situation, I'm willing to take risks with him.

Soon, they arrived at the place where the Five Elements Gate's private helicopters were parked.

Here, they saw Yan Ruifeng.

Yan Ruifeng watched the two of them. He wasn't surprised by Li Long's appearance, but Zhang Ji's appearance was a bit hard for him to believe.

“Master,” Li Long said firmly, “I must go.”

"I'm not here to stop you." Yan Ruifeng stepped forward, straightened Li Long's clothes, and then said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

He knew how difficult it was for Li Longqiang to suppress his nature and learn to manage the sect.

But Li Long did as instructed.

And it's done well.

To this day, none of this is Li Long's fault.

"Plop~!"

Li Long knelt down and kowtowed three times to Yan Ruifeng.

He then walked straight into the helicopter.

Zhang Ji also bowed to Yan Ruifeng and followed him.

As the helicopter took off, the Qianshan faction in Dongji received the information immediately.

Within the Qianshan School.

Neng Mingxu received the news from the official sources and looked somewhat gloomy.

He knew that the Qianshan Sect was being used as a pawn, but he had no choice.

If we don't do this, our sect will only end up like the Five Elements Sect.

If we do it, we can still leave a sliver of hope.

The helicopter was fast, and in less than two hours, Zhang Ji and his group arrived at their destination. After parking the helicopter, Zhang Ji and Li Long quickly walked to the foot of Qianshan Mountain.

"Only two people? That's a huge underestimation of us!"

Xiong Mingxu looked at the two figures going up the mountain in the surveillance footage, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Li Long is very strong, and Zhang Ji is not weak either.

But that's all.

He believed that he alone was enough to fight against the combination of Zhang Ji and Li Long.

In the square in front of the main hall of the Qianshan Sect, the lights were on, and the disciples of the Qianshan Sect were already waiting there. The four elders of the Qianshan Sect, Duan Zichen, Jia Hong, Chen Qiyuan and Song Wei, each stood on one side. In the middle, Xiong Mingxu, wearing a bright red cloak, looked at Zhang Ji and Li Long who were walking towards him.

Upon arriving at the square, Zhang Ji and the others immediately looked at Shen Han, who was hanging on a wooden stake in the distance.

Shen Han had several wounds on his body, something stuffed in his mouth, and his eyes were empty and lifeless. When he saw Zhang Ji and Li Long appear, he struggled a few times as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

"Sect Leader Xiong, I have arrived as promised. Shouldn't you release my junior brother?" Li Long said.

"Just coming here is enough? I also want you to admit your mistake. How can you not admit your mistake? Elder Pang died in vain?" Xiong Mingxu said.

"It was Li Long's fault that he accidentally killed Elder Pang of your sect. He was too young and didn't know the consequences. In the martial world, fists and feet have no eyes. I hope that Sect Leader Xiong and your sect leaders will be magnanimous and not hold it against a junior like me," Li Long said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Although he knew the other party was probably just trying to make things difficult for him, he still admitted his mistake and softened his stance.

"Not enough!" Xiong Mingxu said.

"How much is enough?" Li Long asked.

"You must kneel down and go to the main hall of my Qianshan Sect to apologize to the ancestral tablets of the sect's founder and Elder Pang!" Xiong Mingxu said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Han struggled desperately, ignoring the fact that his skin was being torn and blood was splattering, and his sobs were loud, but he could not change anything.

A sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.

Li Long lowered his head, pushed away Zhang Ji's outstretched hand, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Sigh, why are there always such foolish people?"

When Li Long looked up again, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

It's nothing more than death!

However, this knee does not bend!

Influenced by that fighting spirit, Xiong Mingxu couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

"What, you're unwilling?" Xiong Mingxu said, "That's not up to you!"

Li Long strode towards Shen Han, and Zhang Ji followed closely behind.

As the two moved forward, the members of the Qianshan Sect also approached.

The distance is getting closer and closer.

When they were still five meters apart, Li Long unleashed a burst of power from his feet, and his body suddenly shot out.

"Whoosh~!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang~!"

The instant Li Long made his move, Elder Chen Qiyuan of the Qianshan Sect suddenly attacked, meeting Li Long head-on.

In the original timeline, this elder was easily defeated by Zhang Ji and the other two elders, but here he is displaying extremely powerful strength.

Their fists and palms clashed rapidly, creating waves of air around them.

Li Long's eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit, and his long-suppressed nature was completely exposed. At this moment, there was only one word in his mind: fight!

Not in an effort to save Shen Han, and without even considering people or anything else.

At this moment, all he wanted was a satisfying battle, nothing more!
As his vital energy flowed through his body, he felt for the first time that the Five Elements Fist Technique was integrated into the moves, with his mind and spirit, spirit connected to qi, and qi united with his body.

He seemed to have grasped something, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

At this moment, a sound wave empowered by primordial energy suddenly emanated.

"The snake is the sinew, the tiger is the bone, the leopard is the skin, the crane is the spirit, and the dragon is the god. With the god as the core, drive the Qi into the meridians!"

Li Long recognized Zhang Ji's voice and was surprised, but in the midst of the fight, he had no time to think it through and followed Zhang Ji's instructions to control his primordial energy.

With his power flowing freely, the leopard-shaped fist technique he used underwent a change, with five blue rays of light swirling around his fingertips.

"Sizzle! Pfft!"

Chen Qiyuan had several deep, bone-revealing wounds on his chest. If it weren't for timely protection, and if Li Long hadn't just grasped the [Five Elements Unity] technique and wasn't still unfamiliar with it, the other party would have been dead!

"Five elements united as one!!!"

Xiong Mingxu's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

Only your opponent truly understands you.

For Xiong Mingxu, the Five Elements Sect's "Five Elements Unity" was something he had always been wary of.

That is a legendary, profound technique that, once mastered, can open the door to becoming a terrestrial immortal.

Now, with such skill, Li Long broke through Chen Qiyuan's accumulated Yuan Qi power of over sixty years in a single move, nearly killing him.

Such power truly lives up to its reputation as the unity of the five elements.
He was determined not to let Li Long leave alive!

"Attack together!" Xiong Mingxu declared.

While they were speaking, the other three elders and Xiong Mingxu actually prepared to attack Li Long four against one.

Zhang Ji stepped forward at the opportune moment and said, "Trying to gang up on us? Don't forget, I'm here!"

On Li Long's side, Xiong Mingxu, Chen Qiyuan, and an elder named Song Wei were attacking him.

Zhang Jize then stopped the remaining Duan Zichen and Jia Hong.

He didn't intend to go on a rampage; this was Li Long's home turf, an opportunity for Li Long to grow. He didn't need to show too much strength unless absolutely necessary.

Stopping the two people will alleviate some of the pressure on Li Long.

Duan Zichen and Jia Hong's moves were fierce and powerful. As their fists and palms flew, waves of heat rushed towards Zhang. Zhang parried with ease, displaying his powerful external strength. The sound of metal clashing rang out from his body, showing that he was in complete control.

"Young man, you have quite the tough body! Behold my Blazing Sun Palm!"

Duan Zichen shouted, and crimson primordial energy burst forth from his palm, striking towards Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji was completely unafraid. He used the Tiger Form Fist technique and immediately countered with a tiger palm strike. He even took precautions against Jia Hong's sneak attack, his abdominal muscles tensing as he used the Wave Technique to absorb the rebound force.

"Bang~!"

"Buzz! Clang!"

The two voices appeared almost simultaneously, and both were knocked back several meters by Zhang Ji. After landing, their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Duan Zichen and Jia Hong exchanged a glance, both understanding that they had to exert all their strength.

The two immediately mustered their inner energy and launched another fierce attack on Zhang Ji. (End of Chapter)
