Godslayer: At the start, the power of the Five Elements transforms into Iron Fist Tiger.

"【Masked】Squad!!" The two were somewhat shocked, not expecting the Masked Squad to arrive while they were talking.

"Seven Nights, gang up on him!" Iron Fist Tiger punched the stubborn Moon Demon away again, then prepared to use a righteous gang attack.

Lin Qiye breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the Moon Ghost's figure flash by. Fortunately, his Divine Ruins were quite effective against this kind of stealth-type forbidden ruins.

He then charged at the Moon Demon with his sword, while Molly had already raised her huge katana and slashed at the Moon Demon while Lin Qiye was thinking.

"Damn it, these young people have no sportsmanship! I advise you to quit!" Seeing this, Moon Demon wanted to become completely intangible and find a chance to escape.

Just as Molly's katana was about to strike his body, the Moon Demon's body instantly became ethereal, dodging the terrifying attack.

As expected, Molly's attack struck the specially reinforced floor of the warehouse, instantly leaving a deep, long furrow.

Moon Demon had no time to observe Molly's battle; he only noticed that Lin Qiye's blade shifted according to his concealed position.

Seeing this, Moon Demon cursed inwardly: "Holy crap! Am I out of touch with the times or are you guys cheating?! How do you all know where I am?!"

Having already used stealth multiple times in his battle with Ling Yue, Moon Demon was now expending a great deal of energy. After these several transformations into ethereal forms, the spiritual power he possessed at the Zhan Realm level was almost completely depleted.

He threw the bent short sword he was holding at Lin Qiye in a fit of rage, and Lin Qiye switched from offense to defense, knocking the incoming short sword away.

"Seven Nights! Go for it!" Baili Pangpang was shouting enthusiastically from behind the crowd when a bent short sword came hurtling towards him.

Baili Pangpang was startled, but fortunately the forbidden artifact [Yaoguang] appeared and blocked the attack for him.

"Damn, in a war between two armies, spectators are not killed!"

Taking advantage of Lin Qiye's defensive stance, Yue Gui instantly pulled out a walkie-talkie from his pocket.

"Hey! Captain, these new recruits are showing no sportsmanship! They're ganging up on me, an old comrade! Come save me!"

Moon Demon speaks very quickly. Although it's not easy for King to hear what he's saying clearly, he can roughly guess what he's saying.

"Let's hurry straight to the weapons depot, no more flanking maneuvers!"

Just as Yue Gui put away his walkie-talkie, Iron Fist Tiger, Molly, and Lin Qiye attacked him from above, left, and right.

Knowing the astonishing detection ability and strength far exceeding that of other beings in the same realm, Yue Gui prioritized dodging Ling Yue's attacks.

The Moon Demon's body gradually became ethereal, and then it passed right through Lin Qiye's body!

Lin Qiye was surprised. He had thought that the Moon Ghost's ability was to become invisible and disperse itself, but he did not expect that the ability to disperse itself was so terrifying that it could pass through objects.

Seeing this, Lin Qiye quickly withdrew his strength and redirected the slash elsewhere.

But Molly, who was using the Forbidden Ruins technique, and Iron Fist Tiger, who descended from the sky, were not so lucky.

The massive katana, almost invisible in its movement, clashed with the iron fist of the Iron Fist Tiger.

However, the stalemate lasted less than half a second before Molly felt as if her katana had collided with a large truck speeding down the highway, a blow far beyond her capabilities.

In an instant, Molly was sent flying by Iron Fist Tiger, crashing heavily into the iron wall. Luckily, she didn't hit any weapons, or her body would have been pierced through.

"So strong!!" Molly was shocked. She hadn't expected that her full-force attack using the Forbidden Ruins would be no match for a single iron fist from the Iron Fist Tiger in front of her.

Ling Yue also stopped, no longer paying attention to the fleeing Moon Demon, and instead looked down at his iron fist.

A striking knife mark appeared on the golden back of his hand!

"Hmm...it feels like being bitten by an insect..." Ling Yue thought about it carefully and still gave this evaluation. In fact, there was no more appropriate evaluation than this.

Molly, who had already stood up some distance away, twitched slightly at the corner of her mouth. 'Listen to what you're saying—are you even speaking human language?!'

Molly got up, wanting to continue chasing the Moon Ghost, but Ling Yue stopped her.

"Stop chasing. If nothing unexpected happens, the rest of the [Masked] squad will be here. We can't afford to linger."

Ling Yue pondered how to fight the "Masked" in a way that would make him appear equal to them while also giving the impression that he was incredibly powerful.

If he wanted to win, he could have used his ultimate move to fight the Moon Demon, but since he was throwing the match, he couldn't violate the rules.

Molly nodded upon hearing this, "Okay." After all, if someone stronger than her didn't dare to pursue her, she had no right to disobey orders anymore.

"Holy crap... I thought she was a warrior, but she turned out to be a tank!" Lin Qiye was shocked to see that Molly hadn't been injured after being punched by Ling Yue! You know, when he trained with Ling Yue, he could only take a few more punches at night when there were Starry Night Dancers, but during the day he was basically 'instantly defeated' by Ling Yue.

Baili Pangpang stared at Molly like a lovesick fool, muttering to himself, "So handsome!"

"Hey, Fatty, what are you daydreaming about? Let's go!" Lin Qiye patted the already captivated Baili Fatty, signaling him to follow.

Only then did Baili Pangpang realize that Molly and Ling Yue had already disappeared.

"Good! Good!" Baili Pangpang shouted, then caught up at a speed far exceeding his usual pace.

Seeing this, Lin Qiye was somewhat doubtful of life: "Before coming to the warehouse, this fat guy could barely run ten meters, but now he can run eight hundred, right?!"

-----

Outside the warehouse, Yue Gui had already met Wang Mian and the others.

Seeing Moon Demon's disheveled state, Whirlpool, who was walking behind King's face, immediately laughed: "Yo yo yo, isn't this the Swaying Demon? It's only been a few minutes, how come you're so sloppy?!" Whirlpool even pretended to reach out and pat Moon Demon's face.

The clothes on Yue Gui's arms were almost gone, and even the mask on his face had three claw marks.

The Moon Demon, who was already feeling somewhat aggrieved by Ling Yue and Lin Qiye's abilities, was instantly stirred up by the vortex and then used all her strength to push it away:

"roll!!!"

Wang Mian looked at the exhausted Yue Gui with a somewhat solemn expression: "Yue Gui, what are the abilities of the owner of the Five Elemental Locks?"

Wang Mian still valued Ling Yue highly, not only because of his deal with Yuan Gang, but also because he sensed an extremely violent aura emanating from Ling Yue—a destructive force of immense ferocity.

Of course, he didn't know that Yuan Gang had already made a second deal with Ling Yue, otherwise he might have turned the tables and lost to Ling Yue.

Upon hearing this, Yue Gui began to pour out her grievances to everyone: "Captain, let me tell you, this Five Element Lock and Lin Qiye are really scoundrels!"

Wang Mian was a little curious. The information clearly showed that Ling Yue only had one ability: transformation. He shouldn't be able to see through Yue Gui's invisibility, right? As for Lin Qiye, he was both surprised and reasonable.

"Oh? Go on."

"This Ling Yue suddenly turned into a tiger, and for some reason, it's like he installed a tracking device on me, so he knows where I hide no matter where I go."

I was already struggling to fight him, and then he called on Lin Qiye and a super high-risk Forbidden Ruins user to gang up on me!

Moon Ghost still had his pride, so he described his inability to defeat Ling Yue as a matter of great difficulty. Then, he changed the subject, "Captain! Do you know how much psychological damage this beating has caused to a kid like me who's not even thirty years old?!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mian picked at his ear, wondering if he was hallucinating... 'A child under thirty?' You have such a serious misunderstanding of the word 'child'!

However, Wang Mian didn't interrupt, after all, as the captain, he knew the most basic way to comfort his teammates.

"Don't worry, you can recover your mental strength here. Vortex, come with me to meet them. The rest of you can stay here or find other recruits."
