"Impossible, impossible, impossible!" Shitang Longsi, driven mad, refused to accept the reality before him. He continuously forged new long blades of origin to crazily slash at Pei Yan, only to witness one blade after another shatter and break.

His movements had now become completely non-threatening, like a drunken brute waving his weapon chaotically. Facing such flawed attacks, Pei Yan did not wish to entangle any further. After shattering the opponent's long blade once more, a finger lightly tapped onto Shitang Longsi's chest.

"Pfft!" A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. Even though Shitang Longsi implemented the Substitution Technique forcibly at the first sign of something amiss, avoiding this fatal blow, the echoes of the vibration still injured his heart pulse. Coupled with the side effects of taking drugs and repeatedly using the Substitution Technique, he could no longer maintain the Kamikaze Thunder God's form. The blood-red skin on his body gradually faded, and his form returned to its original, weakened state.

"Why? Why? I clearly changed the form and frequency of the origin, so why was it still shattered!"

Looking at Shitang Longsi's nearly mad and desperate eyes, Pei Yan walked forward slowly and said contemptuously, "Do you think I fought with you for so long without using this ability because of nothing? If it was merely to analyze your origin frequency changes, I completed that not long after our initial encounter. But I understood that against a troublesome opponent like you, that alone was not enough. That's why I forsake my more suitable long-range combat style."

Saying this, Pei Yan had already walked up to Shitang Longsi, grabbed his tattered collar, and continued, "I know that combat style would only harass you without affecting your fundamentals. Only by engaging in unfavorable close combat could I better analyze the changes in your origin. Now no matter how you channel your origin, all possibilities you can exert have been fully analyzed by me."

"In my eyes now, you are like a transparent person!" After saying this, Pei Yan raised an iron fist and punched Shitang Longsi hard in the face, raining punches down with pure brute force until his body turned to mush.

"Cough, cough, cough!" A moment later, Shitang Longsi's battered figure appeared at the mountain's foot not far away. He no longer retained the relatively handsome appearance he had before; his face was swollen high, gasping for air, each cough bringing forth blood and broken teeth.

At this time, Pei Yan's unhurried voice once again sounded from behind him. Now, this voice, aside from being disgusting, filled him with fear and despair.

"Still the Substitution Technique, let's see how many more lives you have to escape!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yan had already leaped in front of Shitang Longsi. Knowing he was no match, Shitang Longsi had no choice but to flee, fleeing forward while feeling deep regret, thinking he should have used all his strength initially and not given the opponent a chance to analyze him.

But in this world, there are no regrets for sale. Now that his abilities have been seen through by the opponent, the best approach is to avoid his edge, get someone else to fight him, and go deal with others himself!

Evidently, Pei Yan also saw through his thoughts and did not intend to give him this opportunity to escape, closely pursuing him while continuously firing electromagnetic guns to halt his steps.

With nowhere to hide, Shitang Longsi gritted his teeth, abruptly turned around, and a virtual short bow appeared in his hand. Using his hand as a bowstring, three long arrows suddenly appeared. Without even aiming, he released them, the three arrows shooting toward Pei Yan's body and vital areas.

Thinking such an attack might slow Pei Yan's approach, to his surprise, Pei Yan didn't even dodge, easily shattering the three arrows with a gesture, sprinted forward, and caught up with Shitang Longsi. Trying to turn and flee was already too late; Pei Yan seized his wrist, pulling him into a vicious knee jab into his chest, causing him to spew blood again.

"You said you wanted to take my sister back for what? I'll make sure you can't keep that filthy mouth of yours shut, and today, I'll turn you into a eunuch!" Long dissatisfied with both the divine desire and Shitang Longsi, Pei Yan unleashed all his suppressed emotions of worry, threat, grievance, anger, and unwillingness at this moment, pounding relentless iron fists onto Shitang Longsi's body.

Turn to mush! Find him! Beat him up again! Turn to mush, find him, and beat him up again!

This cycle continued without giving Shitang Longsi a chance to breathe. After three more substitutions, Shitang Longsi appeared in the air, beaten beyond recognition, his whole body swollen, arms limp at his sides, with one leg exposing bones and flipping outwards.

Seeing Pei Yan attacking again, Shitang Longsi no longer hesitated, touched his storage ring, turning into a void and disappearing in mid-air.

Pei Yan stopped, looking at the empty ground with a puzzled gaze. He vanished again? He looked around without sensing the signal from the Nanomechanical Insect lurking inside.

He ran away?

Just when Pei Yan was confused, Shitang Longsi's signal came from afar. Turning his head in urgency, he saw Shitang Longsi, covered in wounds, somehow jumping next to Fu Rui. After whispering a few words in her ear, a seductive smile appeared on her temperamental face, and a broad red cloth appeared in her hand.

"Damn, he's really trying to run!" Pei Yan cursed, rushing over while shouting at Jiang Donghu, who was fighting with Fu Rui: "Stop them! They're trying to flee together!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Donghu immediately reacted, shaking his form, reaching out with dragon claws to stop them. However, as he reached close, his claws struck nothing but air, and the two figures in front of him dissolved into smoke and disappeared.

"To the left!" Pei Yan loudly shouted, Jiang Donghu looked towards the sound to find Fu Rui supporting Shitang Longsi to his left side, with a large red cloth already descending over their heads.

As the red cloth fell slowly, Shitang Longsi gazed at Pei Yan approaching from afar with a poisonous and resentful look. This mission, he had to give up. The original four-person origin escort team was down to three and could barely manage; now, heavily injured, he could not continue the subsequent tasks. The culprit of all this was the man before him, who infiltrated, disguised, and gravely injured him.

This grudge must be avenged! But now, the top priority is preserving his life, sorry, teammates, but you will have to be stepping stones for my escape.

Thinking of this, Shitang Longsi strained to raise his severely injured right arm, placing two fingers on his forehead, waving gently towards Pei Yan as a farewell gesture.

The next moment, a light flashed! With a bang!

"Ah!!!! Pei Yan, I will kill you for sure!
