Fog Hill of Five Elements雾山五行
Centuries after a divine beast granted five human clans elemental powers to seal away a mountain realm of monsters, the current envoys of fire, water, wood, metal, and earth guard the boundary between the two worlds. When the seal weakens and creatures cross into human lands, the brash fire envoy Wen Renyixuan and his fellow guardians face a breach that tests both their strength and the old pact behind it.
Hand-drawn action so fluid that single cuts toured the internet on their own. If you watch one fight scene from this wiki, make it the opening battle here.
