Chapter 369: Thinking about this now?
Ling Feng laughed, "That’s what you said!"
He turned to look at the audience and shouted, "Did you all hear that? The kid promised! If he goes back on his word later, you’ll have to testify for me!"
Regrettably, the response was sparse, and everyone seemed to be watching the spectacle with detached amusement, as for what they were really thinking, who knew?
Ling Feng, lost for words, turned to Wei Ge, "I didn’t realize it, but these people seem quite fearful of you, huh?"
"Hmph, an ignorant brat who has not seen the world, today you will regret being born!" Wei Ge sneered coldly and clapped his hands twice!
With his movement, a door on the opposite side of the ring was opened, and suddenly the whole place fell silent.
Then a towering figure emerged slowly from the doorway!
It was a tall, bald man, well over two meters in height, with bulging muscles all over his body, incredibly strong and formidable.
Ling Feng turned to Du Song with a look that clearly said, "Do you understand now?"
With a shocked expression and a hint of fear, Du Song said, "Thanks for the reminder, boss. I get it now!"
"Good that you understand. When you get down there, keep an eye on that fatso for me, don’t let him escape!" said Ling Feng.
"But boss, can you really beat that guy?" Du Song asked.
"Nonsense, even if I can’t beat him, I still have to fight!"
Ling Feng gave him an irritated glance and thought to himself, would I be in this mess if it wasn’t for you?
That hulking man was clearly at a level above Dark Energy, and had even broken through to Hua Energy.
Although his cultivation level was only average, the guy’s physique stood out too much, and at first glance, one could tell he was a man of tremendous strength, definitely not easy to deal with!
But now that the arrow was on the bow, Ling Feng had to let it fly. Even if a Qi Force expert came up, he would have to grit his teeth and go through with it!
Hearing the gasps of surprise from the people around, he already knew the name of the muscular man—apparently, he was called Ghost King.
That name did seem to match his aura. Ling Feng watched as the big man approached step by step, his presence causing the bystanders to instinctively retreat a few steps.
At that moment, Wei Ge turned around with a look of pride and said to Ling Feng, "How about now? Are you scared?"
"Not at all, I just find it rather laughable. You’d sacrifice your own leg for 200,000 yuan; people like that don’t make it big!" Ling Feng retorted with a sneer.
"You!"
That left Wei Ge choked with irritation, as it was clearly not what he meant, but momentarily he didn’t know how to defend himself, so he could only point at Ling Feng with a malicious finger, "Don’t be arrogant, you’ll be crying soon!"
After Ghost King stepped onto the stage, Wei Ge promptly went over to him. The opponent had to bend down to let Wei Ge whisper in his ear.
Whatever Wei Ge had said, after hearing it, Ghost King’s gaze towards Ling Feng changed!
His eyes now held a murderous intent!
Seeing this, Ling Feng’s mouth curled slightly, and he asked in a laid-back tone, "Can we start now? It took you five minutes to move from the entrance to the stage—are you a snail?"
These words caused some people to laugh stealthily. What was meant to set the mood now made him look like a snail—a funny remark indeed!
Some astute folks, noting Ling Feng’s utter fearlessness, sensed he might be a true master and quickly ran to place their bets, pulling out their money to bet on Ling Feng’s victory, hoping to cash in on the dark horse.
The fight on the stage was about to ignite.
Ling Feng and Ghost King stood facing each other, with nearly a twenty-centimeter height difference. Next to the giant, Ling Feng looked particularly small.
Just by appearances, no one believed Ling Feng could win. Even Lin Xue was quietly sweating and became anxious.
If she had known it would come to this, she truly regretted bringing up the matter of combat!
But now it was too late to say anything, as she understood Ling Feng’s temperament all too well; at this point, there would be only a battle, and no other outcome was possible!
"Please don’t let anything happen, or I’ll regret it to death!" Lin Xue clenched her fists and chanted silently in her heart.
While she was worried, Ling Feng looked as nonchalant as ever, glancing up at the Ghost King, "Are you ready? How shall the two of us fight?"
The Ghost King glanced at him, "If you’d like, I could just use my hands to snap your neck!"
"Let’s not go that route, the last person who tried that ended up in a pretty sorry state!" Ling Feng chuckled, then suggested, "How about we save some time? You punch me three times, I’ll punch you three times, and we’ll decide the winner based on the outcome. To be fair, you can punch me first!"
"What? Am I hearing this right?"
"This kid’s crazy!"
The spectators were all stunned, each wearing an expression of disbelief!
"I’ve never heard of such a request before!" someone joked.
Both Ghost King and Wei Ge were taken aback by the request, but clearly, it seemed to be in their own favor, so the Ghost King agreed without hesitation, "No problem!"
"Then let’s get started. It’s getting late, and I still need to go back to sleep with my girlfriend!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
Lin Xue, watching from a distance, blushed and quickly glanced around at the people beside her. Realizing that no one was looking at her, she awoke to the fact that nobody knew he was talking about her!
She rolled her eyes surreptitiously, thinking to herself, you bad guy, what a time to say such a thing, it’s so annoying!
"All ready, here comes my first punch!"
The Ghost King announced as his fist, as large as a sandbag, lifted in the air!
The height difference between the two was significant, and from this angle, the punch could only be aiming for Ling Feng’s head!
If it landed, at the least, it would result in a fractured skull, and at worst, immediate death!
But Ling Feng acted as if it was no big deal, lazily standing there and gesturing casually, "Come on, I’m really in a hurry here!"
"Courting death!"
The Ghost King, recognizing the deliberate provocation, shouted in anger as his fist, whooshing with the wind, hammered down fiercely!
Some of the more faint-hearted spectators simply covered their eyes, unable to watch what was about to unfold!
Yet, to everyone’s surprise, when they heard a thud and opened their eyes, they found Ling Feng unscathed, his smile as calm as ever, and even deeper!
The Ghost King shook his hand, which was tingling painfully, and looked at him, "So you do have some tricks up your sleeve!"
"Of course, your turn, you still have two more punches!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
Just now, he had used the Dragon Soar Technique hidden within his body, otherwise, he surely wouldn’t have been able to withstand it, let alone stand in place without moving!
Having mastered the first layer of the Dragon Soar Technique, he now possessed an incredibly strong defense capable of withstanding that punch.
The Ghost King narrowed his eyes as the second punch came without holding back, using all his strength, once again aimed at the top of Ling Feng’s head!
"Boom!"
Under the watchful eyes of all, people only saw a yellow light shoot out, so dazzling that they could hardly keep their eyes open!
When the light vanished, what greeted everyone’s sight was still Ling Feng’s grinning face, leaving everyone dumbfounded!
