The clash between fire and water, one wanes as the other waxes!

Half a minute later.

Both Wang Chuan and Xie Xiaofeng had already exhausted the vast majority of their Five Elements Mana within their bodies.

Whenever a flame suddenly shone bright in the night sky, it was promptly snuffed out by water pouring out as if from a burst levee; conversely, just as the fire was about to be completely extinguished by water, the flame would flare up again, instantly evaporating the pouring water.

Two more minutes passed, and with the flames flaring up again and again and the water vapor rising wave after wave into the sky, the Five Elements Mana inside both Wang Chuan and Xie Xiaofeng had been all but depleted.

In the end, the fire was extinguished by the water. Wang Chuan, with his slightly superior Yin Yang Mana, defeated Xie Xiaofeng, and the dazzling firelight faded into the rising steam.

"Ugh!" Shortly after his own fiery incarnation was doused, Xie Xiaofeng revealed his form and collapsed onto the sidewalk at the roadside.

"Xie Xiaofeng!" Wang Chuan let out a cold laugh, "The duel between us just now was enough to go down in history. I didn't expect it to be with a greenhorn like you!"

Lying on the ground, Xie Xiaofeng lifted his head, his face deathly pale. After taking a few deep breaths, he said, "Wang Chuan, we haven't determined a victor between us yet!"

After speaking, Xie Xiaofeng slowly got up from the ground and stood wobbly before Wang Chuan.

"You don't have a shred of Five Elements Mana left in you. Do you think you still have a chance to turn defeat into victory?" Wang Chuan asked scornfully.

"Hmph!" Xie Xiaofeng's mouth curled into a grin again, a faint blue light twinkling in his eyes. He raised his fist and said with a light smile, "Who said that determining a victor has to be a contest of Five Elements Mana? I can still beat you with my fists. You're not much better off with your Five Elements Magic now. And don't forget, you're a sick man! If I'm not mistaken, the reason for your return is that your illness hasn't been cured!"

Wang Chuan's face immediately turned ugly, and he was infuriated by Xie Xiaofeng's words to the point where his eyes gleamed menacingly, followed by a fit of coughing.

"Haha!" Seeing Wang Chuan coughing incessantly, Xie Xiaofeng let out a mocking laugh.

Upon hearing this laugh, Wang Chuan, enraged, coughed even more violently. He bent over, his left hand relentlessly patting his chest while his face turned red and his eyes fierce.

Then, Xie Xiaofeng, with his fist raised, slowly approached Wang Chuan, and added, "Wang Chuan, although I, Xie Xiaofeng, always show respect for the sick, having any more sympathy for someone as utterly ruthless as you means showing more cruelty to the innocent! Do you know how many people have died at the hands of demons and spirits that escaped because of the Five Elements Reincarnation Formation you recklessly cast?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xie Xiaofeng's fist swung toward Wang Chuan's face.

Suddenly, earthen walls sprang up all around Xie Xiaofeng, trapping him with the little remaining Five Elements Mana that Wang Chuan had left to cast an earth spell.

"Bang!" Xie Xiaofeng lifted his foot and kicked hard against the dirt wall, about three meters tall, in front of him, leaving several cracks.

Surprised by this outcome, Xie Xiaofeng, who had initially only wished to vent his frustrations, suddenly felt puzzled.

"Could it be because his Mana is failing that he's conjured such fragile earthen walls?" Xie Xiaofeng wondered to himself.

Therefore, Xie Xiaofeng lifted his foot and continued to kick against the wall.

After hearing Wang Chuan's coughing fading away beyond the walls, Xie Xiaofeng hastened his efforts.

Even so, by the time he had brought down the wall in front of him, Wang Chuan was nowhere to be seen.

Afterward, Xie Xiaofeng hurried back to his house and called Chen Hao to inform him of the incident.

Upon hearing about this event, Chen Hao quickly convened a meeting with several management members of the Yin Yang Master Association. After some discussion, they decided to turn to the police for help in searching for Wang Chuan's whereabouts.

The sudden reappearance of Wang Chuan put the entire Yin Yang Master Association of Y City on high alert. Since Wang Chuan's target was Xie Xiaofeng, Xiao Feng's family had already been moved to a safe and secure location by the police, and Xie Xiaofeng himself had temporarily moved into Tang Chao's home.

Two days later.

Although the police had launched a covert search operation within the city of Y City, in those two days Wang Chuan seemed to have vanished into thin air. Furthermore, Xie Xiaofeng, who also practiced Yin Yang Five Elements Magic, could no longer sense the presence of Wang Chuan's potent Power of the Five Elements.

The police speculated that Wang Chuan might have left Y City's downtown area by overnight bus on the very night he went to find Xie Xiaofeng.

On the Onmyoji Association's end, the Yin Yang Masters who had been acquainted with Wang Chuan had been contacting his relatives and friends through various means, hoping to learn about his whereabouts from them.

The search for Wang Chuan was being conducted with great urgency. Chen Hao, the full-time president of the Yin Yang Master Association, racked his brains every day about where Wang Chuan could have gone.

Y City, Dao County.

Inside the police station.

To the north of Dao County Police Station was the detention center. Today, in addition to criminals incarcerated for various offenses, there were two special suspects in the detention center.

One of them was the former president of A City's Onmyoji Association—Zhang Yushan. She had used the forbidden Five Elements Spells to control the thugs of A City's underworld to go to Dao County and cause a shooting incident in assistance to Wang Chuan's casting of the Five Elements Reincarnation Formation. Eventually, she was sentenced to three years imprisonment for three charges including disrupting public order.

Although she had been in prison for over a month, Zhang Yushan always believed that Wang Chuan would fulfill his promise to rescue her and take her as his wife.

The night was deep, the cold wind biting!

Inside the detention center, it was exceptionally damp and chilly.

In the cell, lying in bed, Zhang Yushan wrapped herself tightly in the blankets. Yet even so, she couldn't help shivering from the cold seeping into her bones.

"Senior brother!" Zhang Yushan looked up at the skylight on the wall, her eyes brimming with tears. "When will you come to rescue me!"

Before long, Zhang Yushan fell asleep amidst the torment of the biting cold and endless longing.

Just as she was about to drift into dreamland, a series of sharp, cold winds suddenly swept across her flushed face, startling her awake. She opened her eyes and couldn't believe what she saw—the sturdy walls of the cell had turned into a pile of withered weeds, allowing the cold wind to blow through unimpeded.

"The Art of Five Elements Transformation!" Zhang Yushan's face lit up with joy, then she exclaimed, "Senior brother, is that you?"

"Junior sister!" Wang Chuan's voice appeared along with his figure. "It's me!"

In an instant, Zhang Yushan was moved to tears, and began to sob bitterly. The senior brother who had promised to marry her had finally come to rescue her!

At that moment, Wang Chuan walked in, and the pile of weeds turned back into thick walls.

"Senior brother!" Zhang Yushan looked up at Wang Chuan, gripping his arm tightly with both hands in excitement. "You finally came! I've been longing for this day for so long! I knew you would keep your promise!"

"Junior sister, my illness hasn't healed!" Wang Chuan said expressionlessly.

"Ah!" Zhang Yushan's face fell, her disappointment evident. "Senior brother, you didn't come to take me away and marry me!"

"Junior sister!" Wang Chuan smiled slightly at Zhang Yushan. "Senior brother needs your help! Don't worry this time, as long as I succeed, I will take you away to a distant place, and then the two of us can be together forever."

"Really?"

Wang Chuan nodded.

"Senior brother, I will definitely help you!"

"I'll take you out of here now!"

Just as Wang Chuan was about to leave with Zhang Yushan, a voice suddenly drifted in from the neighboring cell—"Wang Chuan, you have an old friend here too!"

"Who is he?" Wang Chuan asked.

"He is...
