One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

Ma Long stood atop a stone dragon, high in the sky, looking down at the three people below.

As he unleashed two spells, the once quiet night grew heavy.

"This kid's got some skills!"

Why did the wind suddenly pick up and the sky turn cloudy? Is it going to rain heavily?

"Hmph! What a ridiculous trick!"

Don't be afraid, the three of us will work together.

The advantage is in my hands!

The three continued to encourage each other, leaping into the air to attack Malone.

Ma Long observed that the surrounding environment had changed; the windy and rainy weather now allowed him to unleash the full power of lightning.

I'll make you all kneel down!

Let the storm rage on!

His words became law, with howling winds and torrential rain, and these were not ordinary wind and rain, but attacks imbued with Qi.

The three of them were completely unable to attack Ma Long anymore, and they were struggling to even withstand the wind and rain at this moment!

"This kid is amazing! This downpour is terrifying!"

The three huddled together, struggling to stay afloat.

Seeing this, Ma Long had no intention of letting them off the hook; he believed that if you were going to beat someone, you had to beat them into submission!

"The character 'Zhen' signifies shattering the darkness with thunder!"

When Ma Long said this, he mobilized more than half of his Qi, which was a huge expenditure, but it was worth it!

Ma Long is most proud of his thunder and fire techniques, and he is willing to expend half of his Qi to unleash them with all his might!

He needs to demonstrate his strength to the fullest extent to intimidate these seasoned veterans of Quanxing.

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a fierce wind accompanied by torrential rain relentlessly attacked the three helpless people!

"Holy crap! Gao Ning, you're still saying this isn't a cheat?"

This guy can command the wind and rain?

"This lightning is so terrifying; if it were to strike, we'd be half-dead!"

Shen Chong struggled against the torrential rain and was now completely soaked. His glasses, which were in the way, were also thrown aside.

"That's outrageous?"

What methods did this kid use?!

I've never seen a sorcerer this powerful. Doesn't it take time for him to perform hand seals and incantations?

Gao Ning was also in a bad mood at the moment. His large monk's robe clung to his skin, and the Buddhist beads around his neck were being blown about by the wind.

He truly couldn't believe that this aloof young man was so strong!

Among the three, the smartest was Dou Mei, the Poisonous Intestine Piercer. She realized that Ma Long was extremely strong and was intentionally holding back, not wanting to really hurt them!

Combined with Xia He's earlier statement about submission, she immediately understood Ma Long's purpose. He wasn't joking; he genuinely needed the three of them.

After figuring it out, Dou Mei immediately knelt on the ground.

"Malone! I am willing to submit to you!"

As long as you don't go too far, I will never betray you!

"Dou Mei! What are you doing?"

How could you kneel before a child? Get up!

Gao Ning roared, he hadn't expected Dou Mei to surrender first!

Ma Long breathed a sigh of relief, after all, trapping three people required a lot of his Qi, and he was already struggling to hold on.

He immediately stopped attacking Dou Mei, so that he could use her to trap the remaining two people and make things much easier for himself!

Xia He was happy for Ma Long when she saw Dou Mei surrender, and her heart finally settled down.

"Sister Dou is the one who knows what's good for you. You shouldn't put up any more futile resistance."

Malone doesn't want to hurt you; he's here to protect us. Surrender now!

Shen Chong's greatest strength is that he listens to advice!

Although he was the last to arrive, he had already gained a clear understanding of the situation after so much time.

Xia He and Ma Long are now of one mind, helping him in every way. This woman is no fool; she must have seen through Ma Long's potential and invested in him first!

I'm the root of all evil!

When it comes to investing, who can beat me?

Dou Mei, being weak, has already surrendered. Gao Ning, that stubborn bald monk, is still dreaming of obtaining the 'Heavenly Record'—what wishful thinking!

Forget it! I'd better hurry up too!

It's not too late to invest now, so you don't suffer later!

Upon realizing this, Shen Chong immediately knelt down and kowtowed!

"Brother Long! I was wrong!"

From this day forward, I will obey your every command and be utterly loyal!

I would gladly lead your horse, hold your stirrups, and even tie grass to your head!

"Damn it! Shen Chong!"

What the hell are you talking about?

Even surrendering wouldn't be like this, you son of a bitch, spineless coward!

Gao Ning was shocked, his fat face jiggling, and he angrily cursed Shen Chong for being cowardly.

Xia He and Dou Mei also felt that Shen Chong was too cowardly. Even if he surrendered, he didn't have to be so servile!

But Ma Long didn't think so. Instead, he looked at Shen Chong with new eyes. No wonder this unknown troublemaker was the most successful of the Four Madmen!

He can quickly assess the situation, decisively seize opportunities, and make bold moves that others dare not make. He's a real character!

Seeing that Shen Chong was so compliant, Ma Long also stopped his storm and finally had a free hand.

Only the last Thunder Smoke Cannon, Gao Ning, remains!

"What do you mean, Fatty? I'm giving you one last chance!"

Ma Long said somewhat impatiently, he didn't have a good impression of Gao Ning, this fat man was the instigator of all the conflicts.

He also knew that Gao Ning had to be beaten, otherwise this guy would never obey him.

"Um... I have a condition... I want to obtain the Heavenly Scroll, like this..."

Gao Ning struggled against the strongest winds and rain, speaking hesitantly, wanting to wait for a better price and try to gain some leverage.

With Ma Long's strength, he might actually be able to obtain the 'Heavenly Scroll', if he could...

Before Gao Ning could finish speaking, Ma Long flew into a rage!

I haven't even obtained the Heavenly Scroll yet! And you already want it?

Do you deserve it?

Humans are bitter creatures; they need to be dealt with!

You found this yourself!

"Crush the darkness with thunder!"

Malone was at his wit's end. Everyone else had surrendered readily, but Malone insisted on making demands.

Does he really think he's someone important?

The lightning in the sky was already thirsty for its strike.

Eager to taste the fat man's body.

A bolt of lightning flashed, amplified by the torrential rain, and struck Gao Ning directly.

Boom!

"what!

No! I was wrong!

Gao Ning quickly bent his arm to block the lightning strike.

‘click’

A series of sounds followed, like bones melting and flesh falling apart, and a smoky, burnt smell wafted over.

Gao Ning has a lot of fat, and the smell of burning fat even has a hint of fragrance!

But Gao Ning couldn't smell the aroma. He lay helplessly on the ground, looking at his two broken forearms, the flesh on them charred!

Gao Ning knew that Ma Long had held back at the last moment; otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as just losing both forearms.

He endured the pain, knelt on the ground, and dared not make any more demands.

"I am willing to submit to you!"

I hope to receive your protection!

Seeing that Gao Ning had lost his previous arrogance, Ma Long breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally gotten it done!

"Disperse!"

All the strange phenomena disappeared, and tranquility returned to the surroundings. The bright moon still hung high in the sky!

Shen Chong picked up his glasses, put them on, smoothed his damp hair, and said to Gao Ning.

"Great monk! Why didn't you just kneel down earlier?"

You're determined to get a beating!

Although he was in a sorry state, he wasn't seriously injured, which was much better than Gao Ning's situation!
