Du Wenming finds himself in a bizarre dance-off with Li Banfeng, who appears to be controlling his own shadow. The shadow taunts Du Wenming, claiming he's dancing incorrectly. More shadows appear, surrounding Du Wenming and dictating his movements. Du Wenming realizes he's losing control as his own dance moves are being dictated by the shadows and Li Banfeng.

In the laboratory, everyone, one after another, began to dance.

The masters protecting Pei Yurong couldn't resist for more than twenty seconds before they couldn't hold back and joined Du Wenming in dancing.

Li Banfeng leaned forward, his shadow leaning forward with him.

Du Wenming followed suit, leading the crowd to lean forward, causing many to lose their balance and fall to the ground.

Li Banfeng's hat was about to fall off; he held it with his hand, and his shadow did the same.

Du Wenming guided everyone to slap their hands on their heads, causing their heads to bleed profusely.

The laboratory echoed with loud thuds; some people, using excessive force, directly cracked their skulls.

Li Banfeng extended a leg, and everyone followed suit, the sound of bones breaking filled the air.

Pei Yurong had just smashed her skull, her face covered in fresh blood, she shouted: "Du Wenming, stop!"

This shout brought Du Wenming back to some sense.

Song and dance are a Heavenly Union Technique; with it, Du Wenming could even spar with Zhou Badou for a few rounds, the power of the technique is undeniable.

But it wasn't the only technique Du Wenming had.

Now, Song and Dance had clearly been exploited by Li Qi; whatever technique he used in those two sentences, Du Wenming felt he was being manipulated, the wounds on his head proved it, he himself had caused them.

Who knows what he might do to himself next; even he couldn't predict.

This can't continue!

Switch techniques!

Du Wenming flicked out two short knives from his sleeves, rare and exceptional weapons of the world.

He spun in place with the knives, and several others were bisected from the waist.

This is the power of these two knives; any contact with the blade, no matter where, severs completely.

Li Qi, a high-level Traveling Cultivator, was difficult to hit, but Du Wenming had his methods.

He crossed his feet, his body rising off the ground, flying and weaving like a wandering dragon, blade light flashing, blood splattering.

Dance Cultivation Technique, Wandering Dragon Unlimited.

His movements were too fast for even Li Banfeng to see, he didn't seek precision, only speed, slashing at everyone indiscriminately.

It seemed reckless, but Du Wenming was clear-headed, the stakes were life and death with Li Qi today.

If he wanted to survive, he had to kill Li Qi, at all costs.

Du Wenming danced faster and faster, his subordinates quickly moved Pei Yurong away.

Li Banfeng used Seek Fortune and Avoid Disaster to counter Du Wenming, six shadows constantly advancing to block blades for him.

Shadows bisected continued rushing in, engaging in battle with Du Wenming, after more than ten seconds, Du Wenming's energy was expended, temporarily halting the technique.

He had killed many people, but the shadows multiplied with each cut, trapping him tightly.

Why would the shadows multiply with each cut? Du Wenming couldn't understand.

"Is this, also a Heavenly Union Technique?"

The music reached a climax, various instruments played together, the rhythm was like raging tides, grand and unceasing.

Li Banfeng laughed: "This song is called 'Madman', right?"

Du Wenming didn't reply, preparing for the next technique.

"The song is so captivating, it inspired a good technique," Li Banfeng laughed, "Madman Skill, Five Horses Splitting Corpse!"

Du Wenming tapped his toe, launching Wandering Dragon Unlimited again, his form just transforming into a dragon when he heard Li Banfeng roar: "Hoo ya ya ya!"

Deep Mansion Courtyard, Li Banfeng borrowed the Sound Cultivation Technique.

The music changed tune, the rhythm accelerated instantly, Du Wenming's dance steps faltered, seized by four shadows pulling at his body, another three shadows grabbing his left leg.

Seven shadows exerted force, pulling Du Wenming's left leg off.

Du Wenming hopped on one leg toward the number one door, seeking escape, but Li Banfeng got there first, kicking him back.

Four shadows caught him again, three shadows advancing, with a puff sound, pulling off Du Wenming's right leg.

Using both hands, Du Wenming reached the number three door, just about to open it, when Li Banfeng caught his head.

Du Wenming shouted: "Li Qi, I have the means to break the Boundary, I'll tell you everything, I'm valuable, very valuable to you!"

Li Banfeng laughed: "Soon you'll come to my office, I'll take you to meet someone."

As his voice fell, seven shadows moved forward, tearing off Du Wenming's right hand.

Left with just one left hand, Du Wenming still attempted to counterattack, but Li Banfeng stepped on his left hand, and seven shadows advanced, ripping his body from the left hand.

Lacking all limbs, Du Wenming continued shouting: "I'm the only one who can break the Boundary, if you kill me, you'll never..."

Li Banfeng grabbed Du Wenming's head again, with a twist of the wrist, he broke Du Wenming's neck.

He wasn't dead yet, cultivation level Above the Clouds, not so easy to eliminate, he still had a breath left.

Li Banfeng opened the Portable Residence, sending Du Wenming inside.

Where did Du Wenming go?

Where did Li Qi throw him?

In the laboratory, over two hundred people remained, all startled, staring at Li Qi.

Li Qi laughed: "No need to be curious, among you, those with good fortune will soon see him."

Pei Yurong shrank to the back of the crowd, pale, watching Li Qi.

She didn't know where Li Qi had sent Du Wenming, but she knew all present couldn't stop Li Qi.

She mustered courage and shouted at Li Qi: "I'm a Lavsha person, you're from the Dark Star Bureau, you can't kill me! I'm someone of standing among the Lavsha people!"

Li Banfeng looked at the Projector: "This music is delightful, play it again."

The Projector controlled the CD, playing the track again.

In the hall, chaos ensued among the two hundred plus people, some creating an array, some performing rituals, some kneeling to beg, others frantically charging at the doors.

Suddenly, a light halo spread from the wall, everyone near the wall had a layer of skin peeled off, howling in pain.

The 'Madman' song echoed in the hall, Li Banfeng stepped into a light dance with the shadows following the tune.

"Such a great song, it inspired another good technique, Madman Skill, Rivers of Blood!"

Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat, revealing a smile.

All shadows drew their weapons, laughing alongside Li Qi.
