Chapter 201: Through the outer sect.
Lee knew he had to settle the fight before it became chaotic and a random elemental master in the proximity noticed the ruckus.
Since he didn’t use any flashy elemental skills, his opponents also restrained themselves. Surely there were at least a couple who were elemental warriors with beast sparks, but they didn’t want to draw unnecessary attention to their own illegal scheme. And there were five of them and only one kid.
The problem was that the kid turned out to be too strong, fast, and more importantly – viscous. Every punch he landed resulted in pulverized bones and a dead body on the ground. The two people guarding the entrance of the allay arrived in a few breaths after the fight started, but it was already over.
They froze at the sight of their comrades lying on the ground, one still convulsing in agony, and that was the opportunity Lee needed. He charged at both of them, landing fists on their chests at the same time, slamming them into the wall behind.
One lifelessly slumped down, but the other tried to stand up, but he was too slow. Lee was back on him in an instant and a swift kick broke the man’s neck.
"Ugh ..." Lee fell to his knees, gripping his stomach.
His moves weren’t flashy at all, but every single one was infused with the earth particles making it heavy and deadly. The problem was – by intensely overusing a single element, the other two, fire and water, were immediately destabilized, and it caused excruciating pain.
The fight was quick enough for him to ignore it, but the moment it ended Lee realized he couldn’t even take a breath from how much it hurt. Fortunately, no one noticed the clash at the end of the dark alley, but Lee couldn’t leave the five bodies lie around there, especially considering their former status.
Fighting through the pain, he crawled over to the manhole cover leading to the sewers. He opened the top, intending to directly throw the bodies of the dead guards inside, but was caught unprepared by the thick stench assaulting his senses.
