Chapter 464: Arriving in Person
THUD!
Seeing this, Li Xi smiled as he landed gently, looking at Lin Feng.
"Hahaha, I told you! If I want to leave, you can't stop me. Never mind you—not even another Grandmaster could stop me!"
Li Xi roared at the sky. He had finally gotten the upper hand on Lin Feng, just once!
The sense of accomplishment was a thrill he hadn't felt in a long time. 'I, Li Xi, am a Grandmaster-level expert! This is how it should be—I should be the one dominating Lin Feng!'
"Hmph! You think you're worthy of being called a Grandmaster?"
Lin Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shot Li Xi a cool glance. The chilling light deep in his eyes seemed sharp enough to pierce him.
"Kid, you'd better stop running your mouth! If you've got a problem with it, let's keep fighting!"
Li Xi roared, incensed by Lin Feng's disdainful attitude.
After gaining the upper hand with that one strike, Li Xi's desire to escape had weakened considerably.
He was now completely consumed by rage and the high from having successfully landed a blow on Lin Feng.
He had only one thought now: kill Lin Feng as quickly as possible. Only by killing Lin Feng would his mission be complete.
He knew this was a suicide mission, but now there was no turning back. 'Perhaps this is fate. Since Lin Feng refuses to be captured without a fight, I have no choice but to give it my all.'
Seeing the ferocious, murderous intent on Li Xi's face, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. He nodded to himself. 'Looks like this Li Xi has some real strength after all, much more than I originally anticipated.'
Lin Feng also understood that Li Xi would never give up so easily. Here in the Northwest Desert, he would be determined to see his mission through.
'In that case, I have to eliminate him as soon as possible. Li Xi is far too dangerous. If he finds an opportunity to escape, it would be a huge loss for me.'
WHOOSH!
Lin Feng's gaze sharpened. His body shot forward in an instant, and the short sword in his hand, infused with Yellow-rank Spiritual Qi, thrust violently toward Li Xi's chest.
At the same time, Li Xi sneered. He swung the pitch-black spirit claws on his arms, slashing down to meet Lin Feng's attack.
CLANG!
A sharp ring echoed as Li Xi's claws collided with Lin Feng's short sword.
The moment the two weapons crashed together, both fighters shuddered. They then retreated, leaving streaks of afterimages in mid-air.
A fierce wave of energy radiated out from the point of impact, kicking up a storm of dust on the sand dune as Lin Feng and Li Xi were both thrown backward.
Li Xi stabilized himself, his body coursing with violent energy. Although he had been at a slight disadvantage in that exchange, it only made him more furious.
He was supposed to be the one crushing Lin Feng, but now the tables had turned. Lin Feng had pushed him into a sorry state, a result he found intolerable.
He had always been proud, and now that pride had been utterly shattered. This was something he could never accept.
SWISH!
Li Xi's figure darted through the air like a phantom, surrounding Lin Feng with countless afterimages.
This dense barrage of attacks was almost impossible to defend against, but even so, Lin Feng's expression remained as calm as still water. A scene like this was nothing to him.
CLANG!
The continuous ringing of metal on metal filled the air. Li Xi swung his pitch-black claws relentlessly, each strike carrying terrifying power. An attack like this could probably shatter a mountain with ease.
But Lin Feng was unafraid. He wielded his short sword in a flawless, impenetrable dance. Especially with the enhancement of his protective Inner Strength, he remained completely unharmed.
Not even a speck of dust had touched the hem of his clothes, which left Li Xi somewhat stunned.
'How is this kid's defense so high?'
He knew that no matter how formidable Lin Feng's defense was, it couldn't possibly be flawless.
If even the slightest opening appeared, Li Xi was confident he could exploit it. But right now? Every one of his strikes felt like it was hitting a steel plate.
Though he was confident he could eventually break through that steel plate, he just couldn't seem to breach this line of defense, which left him frustrated.
WHOOSH!
Lin Feng whipped out another roundhouse kick, aiming straight for Li Xi's side. The speed was startling, but Li Xi was just as swift.
Li Xi threw up a hand, firmly blocking the kick. He then pushed upward, trying to use the momentum to send Lin Feng flying. After all, he had already launched his offensive; stopping now would be awkward.
Lin Feng didn't dodge or evade. As Li Xi's ferocious power came at him, Lin Feng's body swayed sharply to the right. After dodging the push, he closed the distance once again, this time taking the initiative to attack.
When Li Xi saw this, he cursed inwardly. He realized Lin Feng seemed to have gone a little mad, a kind of madness that worried him.
The current situation was also making him extremely uncomfortable. Lin Feng was like a tireless meat grinder.
No matter how fierce his attacks were, Lin Feng could always neutralize or counter them. If this continued, he would eventually be worn down to death by Lin Feng!
Li Xi gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on. Lin Feng was like sticky candy he just couldn't shake off. He frantically circulated his Inner Strength.
BOOM!
A violent explosion rang out. The sand dune was blasted into a large crater, and fine cracks spread across the rocky ground beneath, sending small bits of shrapnel flying.
A frenzied aura swept through the entire battle area. The sight made Li Xi gasp. He never expected Lin Feng to dare to divert his focus to attack while maintaining such a precise defense!
And from the looks of it, Lin Feng had clearly descended into a frenzy!
The situation was now extremely unfavorable for Li Xi. More importantly, his physical condition was also deteriorating.
Li Xi's face was pale, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead—a sign of his Inner Strength being depleted!
"Lin Feng!"
Seeing that Lin Feng had now fallen into a completely berserk state, Li Xi's heart skipped a beat. His eyes went wide, and a chill washed over him.
Right now, Lin Feng looked like a madman. His eyes were bloodshot, his face was contorted with ferocity, and his entire body radiated a sinister aura.
Li Xi knew Lin Feng was about to go all out, but he never expected him to be this crazed. A Lin Feng in this state was the most difficult to deal with!
