"Kill—" Wang Iron Bull's face twisted into a terrifying grin as he charged towards Qin Yan, raining down punches on him like a storm.

"This guy suddenly became so strong!" Qin Yan lamented inwardly. Wang Iron Bull was already tall and muscular, and now transformed into something resembling a monster. Each of his punches had the power to split boulders, and even with Qin Yan's body-strengthening ability, it was still difficult to withstand the impact of his fists.

"Damn it!" Qin Yan was not one to back down. After parrying several of Wang Iron Bull's attacks, he found an opening and delivered a powerful punch to Wang Iron Bull's face. With a heavy thud, Wang Iron Bull's left cheek was hit hard by Qin Yan's fist, the force causing his face to distort.

"Did it work?" Qin Yan stared at Wang Iron Bull's face, focusing on his reaction. He had put all his strength into that punch, and if it had been a normal person, their neck might have been broken, leading to instant death. However, despite being struck by Qin Yan's powerful punch, Wang Iron Bull didn't even flinch. Blood trickled from his mouth, his face still bearing a fierce expression as he glared at Qin Yan.

"Doesn't this guy feel pain?" Even Qin Yan, with his exceptional mental strength, couldn't help but shiver at Wang Iron Bull's ferocious look. He retracted his fist and struck at Wang Iron Bull's head again, while simultaneously, Wang Iron Bull aimed a punch at Qin Yan's chest. Both fists almost hit each other simultaneously.

"Bang" "Bang" Two muffled sounds rang out. Wang Iron Bull was struck hard in the face by Qin Yan, his neck twisted, and he swayed before crashing to the ground. Meanwhile, Qin Yan was sent flying six to seven meters back after being hit in the chest by Wang Iron Bull's punch, falling heavily to the ground.

"Ugh..." Qin Yan's facial muscles tensed, his expression pained. The intense pain made his heart almost stop. He clutched his chest, coughed heavily a few times, and took a while to recover. The force of Wang Iron Bull's punch was astonishing. Qin Yan felt like his ribs were almost broken. If the blow had hit his heart, he might have fainted on the spot.

On the other side, Wang Iron Bull was also in a bad shape. After taking two heavy punches from Qin Yan to the face, he struggled on the ground before finally managing to stand up. He shook his dazed head and continued to glare at Qin Yan with a fierce look, emitting wild beast-like growls.

"I can't afford to go head-to-head with him. He's gone mad, and even if I manage to defeat him, I'll end up seriously injured myself!" Qin Yan realized he couldn't match Wang Iron Bull's crazed strength. He started to slowly retreat, but Wang Iron Bull, disregarding his own injuries, growled lowly and charged at Qin Yan again, raining down punches on him like a downpour. Though Qin Yan didn't want to engage in a direct confrontation, he had no choice but to fight back. He focused on evading and blocking, adopting a defensive stance to minimize the damage he received.

While Qin Yan was fighting with Wang Tieniu, Lin Shiqi was also engaged in a magical battle with Master Ma. Lin Shiqi pointed her wand towards Master Ma, and a long tongue of flames appeared out of thin air, swirling towards him.

"This kind of attack is useless against me," Master Ma coldly smiled. A strong whirlwind appeared around him, wrapping his whole body. The flames were blown away by the whirlwind, unable to touch Master Ma and cause any harm.

"This spell won't hurt him," Lin Shiqi thought to herself, giving up on using fire spells. She summoned a fierce wind with a gesture of her left hand, sending a nearby wooden barrel flying towards Master Ma. Master Ma swung his whip, shattering the barrel in mid-air.

"This old man is quite difficult to deal with," Lin Shiqi felt the situation becoming more challenging. With a weapon like the whip for both offense and defense, along with the ability to summon whirlwinds to deflect fire spells, Master Ma seemed flawless and difficult to counter.

"Kid, you can't defeat me. Surrender now, or I'll have to rough up that delicate skin of yours," Master Ma taunted, continuously attacking Lin Shiqi with his whip. Unable to defend against the whip, Lin Shiqi could only use the boxes for cover and dodge around, hearing the sound of the whip striking the wooden crates, leaving large holes in them.

"Damn it, it would be much easier to deal with him if Qin Yan could help me," Lin Shiqi thought, glancing towards Qin Yan who was busy fighting with Wang Tieniu and had no time for anything else.

On the other side, the battle between Qin Yan and Wang Tieniu had escalated to a fierce level. The two were engaged in a brutal hand-to-hand combat, exchanging punches and kicks. Qin Yan had taken nearly dozens of punches from Wang Tieniu, whose fists were as hard as stones and as powerful as a raging bull's charge. Despite using his body strengthening ability, Qin Yan was struggling to withstand the blows, feeling dizzy and almost unable to continue.

Although Qin Yan also delivered heavy blows to Wang Tieniu with his fists, Wang Tieniu seemed to feel no pain at all. No matter how hard Qin Yan hit him, Wang Tieniu showed no reaction. It was as if Wang Tieniu was a berserker, becoming more excited the more he was injured, and perhaps only death could make him stop his relentless attacks.

"This can't go on like this!" Qin Yan felt the situation was dire and started thinking of other strategies to defeat his opponent. He remembered the immense destructive power of Lin Shiqi's fire spells, which might be effective against Wang Tieniu, so he shouted loudly, "Shiqi, use your fire spells to help me deal with him!"

Hiding in a corner of the warehouse, Lin Shiqi heard Qin Yan's call and shouted back, "I can barely protect myself, how can I help you? Besides, you are so close to him, if I help you, the fire spells will burn both of you."

"It's okay, just do it quickly, burn everything here if you have to!" Qin Yan thought it was better to take a risk than to sit and wait for defeat.

"Alright, be careful!" Lin Shiqi agreed, finding a spot where Master Ma couldn't reach, raising her wand high and shouting, "Flame Storm!"

Red flames gushed out from the tip of Lin Shiqi's wand like a tide, and a roaring hurricane suddenly appeared, carrying the flames from the wand around the warehouse. The flame storm swept through every corner of the warehouse, engulfing everyone in a sea of red. The storm began to erode everyone in the warehouse, causing people to scream and scramble towards the warehouse entrance, creating a bottleneck that prevented anyone from quickly leaving.

"This kid is really crazy, even more fierce than me!" Faced with the fierce flame storm, even Master Ma's face changed color. He quickly summoned a whirlwind to protect himself from the attack of the flame storm.

Although Wang Tieniu, covered in black fur, was ferocious in his battle with Qin Yan, he showed signs of fear when confronted with the fierce flame storm. The flames ignited his clothes and long black fur, causing him to frantically try to extinguish the flames and dodge the attacks of the flame storm.

"Thank goodness, it worked!" As Wang Tieniu fled, Qin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Although Wang Tieniu was no longer attacking him, the flame storm posed a huge threat to him as well. He quickly used his body strengthening ability to protect himself and, like Wang Tieniu, dodged around to avoid the flame storm.

"Come to me!" a voice called out to Qin Yan. He looked towards the voice and saw Lin Shiqi raising her wand to release the flame storm and using her magical abilities to create a thick wind barrier around them, protecting them from the onslaught of the flame storm. Qin Yan immediately ran to Lin Shiqi's side, finding safety behind the wind barrier, which shielded them from the fierce flame storm.
