Chapter 477: Assassination
"You are indeed very strong."
Night Blade took a deep breath and spoke calmly, but his voice was laced with a chilling killing intent.
SWOOSH!
The next second, Night Blade's body moved like a ghost, erratic and unpredictable.
His fingers continuously flicked out terrifying hidden weapons, which formed a volley of sharp projectiles shooting toward Lin Feng.
It turned out Night Blade was a top-tier master of hidden weapons, able to launch a surprise attack with several projectiles at a moment's notice.
At this moment, his focus had shifted to one thing: ending this fight as quickly as possible.
He sensed that Lin Feng possessed some strange technique that could block his hidden weapon attacks.
Therefore, he had to find an opening and seek an opportunity to defeat him in one fell swoop.
WHOOSH!
In an instant, countless sharp weapons materialized around Lin Feng.
Each weapon glinted with a cold, sinister light, revealing they were coated in deadly poison. At this moment, Night Blade was no longer holding back; he had unleashed his full power.
Seeing the dense swarm of hidden weapons—some fast, some slow, moving in a discernible pattern—Lin Feng couldn't help but frown.
CLANG!
With a flick of his wrist, Lin Feng threw a silver needle, narrowly blocking a hidden dart that was just about to reach him.
"Hmph. You can block one, but can you possibly block them all?"
Night Blade's cold voice rang out.
Immediately after, a massive volley of hidden weapons appeared around Lin Feng. All sorts of projectiles flew at him, cutting off all his escape routes.
"Hmph. Petty tricks!"
A disdainful look flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He took a single stride to a large tree and leaped on top of it.
Then, Lin Feng bent his knees, gathering power. He crossed his arms over his chest and then forcefully struck the tree trunk with a punch, like a tiger descending a mountain.
CRACK…
The massive tree, so thick it would take four or five people to encircle it, collapsed with a crash.
As it fell, the tree crashed down on the numerous hidden weapons flying toward him from the side.
Instantly, the projectiles clattered to the ground, and countless iron beads scattered everywhere.
Lin Feng stood on the fallen tree, watching Night Blade with an indifferent expression.
"I didn't expect you to be a Body Cultivator."
"But in the end, you're only at the Peak of Innate Realm. So what if you have a powerful physical body? Can you compare to someone in the Grandmaster Realm?"
Night Blade sneered at Lin Feng.
His words made Lin Feng narrow his eyes, a sharp glint flickering within them.
"Oh? The Grandmaster Realm?"
Hearing Night Blade claim to be a genuine Grandmaster Realm Martial Artist, Lin Feng was momentarily stunned before letting out a soft chuckle.
"Heh, just a Cultivator at the Late-stage Innate Great Perfection."
"You think just because you're one step away from the Grandmaster Realm, that makes you a Grandmaster Realm Ancient Martial Artist?"
"What a joke."
Lin Feng shook his head. Although he could sense a hint of a threat from Night Blade, he was still confident he could defeat, or even kill, him.
"Arrogant! In a moment, you'll realize you're nothing but a frog in a well!"
Hearing this, Night Blade flew into a rage.
"Heh, then let's wait and see."
Lin Feng chuckled lightly. Without any more needless talk, he directly took the offensive!
Seeing this, Night Blade's expression grew solemn.
BOOM!
The two terrifying auras collided abruptly, kicking up a massive shockwave.
The astonishing ripples spread out, making the leaves on the trees tremble and scattering the grass and leaves on the ground.
Lin Feng and Night Blade clashed in mid-air. They traded blows, fist after fist, making the entire courtyard tremble.
"AHH!"
Night Blade roared and suddenly slammed a palm into Lin Feng's shoulder.
Lin Feng let out a muffled groan as he was thrown back more than ten meters, crashing into a wall. His face turned slightly pale.
If he hadn't dodged in time, that palm strike from Night Blade could have torn his entire arm off!
Night Blade had shown no mercy with that strike.
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed, the cold glint within them intensifying.
'This is getting interesting.'
His body suddenly shot into the air, flying several meters high before abruptly plummeting back down.
Lin Feng bent his knees, his body plummeting like a meteor as he stomped down viciously on Night Blade below.
Night Blade's pupils shrank. He hadn't expected Lin Feng to be able to leap into the air, not only maneuvering in mid-flight but also using gravity to launch such a suppressive attack.
In that moment, Lin Feng's movements were incomparably swift.
Night Blade hastily dodged to the side, but a lock of his hair was still sliced off by Lin Feng's sharp kick, drifting away in the air.
Lin Feng had now landed on the ground. He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
Night Blade's strength was indeed formidable. Even at his peak, Lin Feng would have had to put in some effort to deal with him. But now that his strength had recovered, he naturally had no fear of his opponent.
"Heh heh, so this is all you've got. With such little strength, you dare to challenge me? You're simply courting death!"
A savage grin flashed across Night Blade's face.
Although his strength wasn't quite at the Grandmaster Realm, it wasn't far off. Lin Feng, on the other hand, was only at the Peak of Innate Realm. Even if Lin Feng was an outstanding fighter among those at the Peak of Innate Realm, Night Blade didn't believe he could contend with him.
After all, at their level, carelessness was the biggest taboo.
Because a single mistake could cost them dearly—even their life!
"Then you're welcome to try."
A mocking smile curved Lin Feng's lips. His figure then vanished abruptly, his speed reaching an extreme.
'So fast!'
Night Blade was taken aback. Not daring to be negligent, he immediately circulated all the Innate Gang Essence in his body and assumed a defensive stance.
BANG!
Night Blade crossed his arms in front of his chest to block a descending whip kick from Lin Feng. Neither of them moved an inch, each holding his ground.
But Lin Feng's power was too tyrannical, and he actually seemed to be gaining the upper hand!
BANG!
Night Blade stumbled back again and again, his face filled with shock.
All of this took longer to describe than it did to happen; in reality, it all occurred in the blink of an eye.
"You've lost."
Lin Feng spoke indifferently, his tone filled with boundless coldness.
"Impossible! I will absolutely not lose!"
Night Blade's face was contorted, his eyes filled with a blood-red light.
"Hah. If that's how you want it, then die!"
A playful glimmer appeared in Lin Feng's eyes. His figure then shot forward again, blurring into an afterimage as he charged.
SWOOSH!
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Night Blade. His right leg whipped through the air, carrying a terrifying force as it swept through the void and struck downward.
Night Blade's expression didn't change at all; if anything, the ferocity on his face only intensified.
"Kid, the same trick won't work on me twice!"
With a roar, Night Blade extended his left hand to block from the side while clenching his right hand into a fist, swinging it to meet Lin Feng's leg.
BAM!
