Ah Yi fights Li Banfeng, whose shadows multiply with each hit after he uses the Heavenly Union Technique. While the observers discuss the nature and power of such techniques, Ah Yi begins to overwhelm Li Banfeng by strategically placing explosives around him.

Li Banfeng dodged more than a dozen explosive packages, but the explosives in Ah Yi's hands never stopped.

She seemed to have an endless supply of explosives, while Li Banfeng struggled to maintain any form in attack and defense. An explosive package slapped onto Li Banfeng's face, and he forcibly evaded using the Carefree Technique.

This was a reckless move.

The explosive's destructive range was extensive, impacting the entire body—how could the Carefree Technique evade that?

Boom!

The explosive went off.

Ah Yi increased the intensity. Down at the mountain, Ayun and Ah Mu felt the ground heavily shaking, watching the flying dirt and stones between the mountain with clarity.

Li Banfeng's body was blown to pieces.

"Seventh Guide! Save Seventh Guide!" The projector inside the Portable Residence was terrified.

"This Technique, it's so rare..." Miss Jiu was shocked.

"Qi Lang, you are just too..." Hong Ying didn't know how to comment.

Whoosh~

As a gust of wind passed, and the smoke and dust cleared, Ah Yi saw the shattered limbs.

"Why is it so dark?" Ah Yi looked at Li Banfeng's shattered body, feeling like it wasn't blackened by the explosion.

"Is that you?" Ah Yi asked.

"No!" Li Banfeng stood behind Ah Yi, raising the Tang Sword.

What got blown up was the shadow, not Li Banfeng.

The principle of Carefree Technique is to use the indescribable power to shift a part of the body to another location.

The explosives' range was too large, and no position suited Li Banfeng, so he changed his approach and transferred his body onto the shadow.

As for why he could transfer onto the shadow, Li Banfeng did not think about it, nor did he have the intention to think.

Carefree Technique was one of the techniques Li Banfeng was least skilled at; he never thought he could utilize the technique to this degree.

He stabbed towards Ah Yi's back with the Tang Sword, but the sharp blade couldn't pierce Ah Yi's clothes.

Couldn't pierce, then chop the head!

Li Banfeng aimed a slash, Ah Yi quickly dodged.

The shattered shadow transformed into eight small shadows, rushing forward to embrace Ah Yi.

Ah Yi couldn't move, and Li Banfeng chopped off her head.

"Beheading with Every Blow!" The Tang Sword was highly excited.

"Haha, chop you dead, you tortoise spawn, chop you dead!" Li Banfeng was excited too.

Ah Yi stood in place, her head popped out from her neck: "Didn't chop me dead! That head was fake!"

Li Banfeng stopped smiling.

Ah Yi shouted: "Come on, let's have a showdown to the end!"

"I'm male, you're female, is there a need to decide?" Li Banfeng seriously asked.

"Who said I'm female, I have a wife!" Ah Yi seriously replied.

"Come on, call your wife, I'll call my brothers, let's compete!" Li Banfeng brought a group of shadows, charging towards Ah Yi.

"Come on, whether new friends or old ones, stay in Gourd Village!" Ah Yi carried explosives to meet him.

Boom!

Boom-boom!

The villagers were watching from below the mountain; they didn't know the situation on the mountain but saw plumes of smoke rising from it. Ah Mu wiped his sweat: "The village chief hasn't fought such a tough battle in a long time."

Uncle Argen took out the dry tobacco pipe and puffed a draw: "Our village chief is blessed; no problems should occur. But if something happens, what then?"

Ah Mu looked at Uncle Argen: "What do you mean?"

Uncle Argen calmly said: "I'm just saying, if there's any mishap, our village can't go without a chief. I'm the oldest..."

Alon spat on the side: "What does being the oldest do? My cultivation level is the highest—there's no way the chief's position would fall to you!"

Ayun couldn't bear it: "The village chief is still alive; you're already eyeing her position. She's treated you all well, are you doing right by your conscience?"

Additionally, to speak frankly, the village chief is like a sister to me. If something did happen to her, this position is left for me!"

The crowd argued in a frenzy, the village chief's wife sitting on the ground, first smoothing her beard, then wiping tears: "You lot struck by lightning, I'll kill you all later. I've humbly served as the chief's wife for so many years; the chief's position should stay in our family!"

Crack!

A piece of explosive thunder echoed on the mountaintop, the crowd looked up, feeling the peak had been shaved off.

Ayun said: "How many techniques has the chief used?"

Atop the mountain, Li Banfeng only had a shadow left at his feet; all other shadows disappeared.

The recent thunderblast shattered Li Banfeng's shadow into powder; powder too fine to extend and form, breaking the Shadow Hanging Technique.

Even Ah Yi didn't expect that breaking Li Banfeng's technique would take such effort.

"Li Qi, never thought you had such skill." Ah Yi wiped the blood from her face, injured.

Li Banfeng was also hurt: "I never thought where this skill of mine came from either."

He really didn't think.

He never thought his shadow could divide into shadows, nor did he think he could swap places with the shadow.

Ah Yi returned to normal a bit, Li Banfeng normalized a bit too. Now with shadows dispersed, Li Banfeng also cleared up.

"After this battle, let's go our separate ways," Li Banfeng patted the dust from himself, "If I really stay here for half a month, you'd only bring trouble onto yourself."

Ah Yi felt somewhat disappointed with Li Banfeng: "With such talent, why don't you like this village?"

Li Banfeng shook his head: "It's not dislike; it's for other reasons."

"Stop with the crap; if you really don't want to stay, forget it," Ah Yi finally relented, "I can let you go, but you have to agree to two conditions,
