Chapter 484: Swing
Lin Feng's eyes were slightly closed, his arms swinging as he executed an exquisite Boxing form, while Night Blade parried tensely.
Gradually, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Lin Feng's moves were becoming increasingly tricky and vicious!
It was clear Lin Feng was aiming to kill him, so he didn't dare be the slightest bit careless or distracted.
Suddenly, Lin Feng swept his hands through the air, forming a single palm and striking out horizontally.
Night Blade hastily dodged to the side. This was the very move that had broken his defense earlier, allowing Lin Feng to suppress him for a long time.
Seeing an opportunity, Night Blade no longer hesitated and blasted out a palm strike of his own. The strike whistled through the air as if it could tear his opponent apart.
Seeing this, Lin Feng didn't dodge. Instead, he charged forward to meet Night Blade head-on. A flash of joy went through Night Blade's heart. 'This is exactly what I wanted.'
The purpose of his palm strike was to force Lin Feng into a direct clash, because this set of Boxing techniques was far from simple.
It incorporated many of his ultimate techniques. If Lin Feng was hit by just one of his fists, he would absolutely not survive.
'For Lin Feng to dare clash with this move head-on—isn't that just courting death?'
'I've gathered formidable Inner Strength in my palm. As long as Lin Feng dares to meet it head-on, I guarantee his arm will be shattered by the impact.'
BOOM!
Lin Feng's palms met Night Blade's fists. Instantly, a violent storm of Inner Strength raged forth as the two energies spread out wildly.
Ripples visible to the naked eye spread outwards. Both Lin Feng and Night Blade were sent flying backward.
Lin Feng landed in the treetops fifty or sixty feet away. Night Blade, however, stood his ground, unmoving, though his face was slightly pale and a trickle of blood slowly ran from the corner of his mouth.
PTUI!
A large mouthful of dark blood sprayed from Night Blade's mouth. The power of that last palm strike was simply too immense. One must remember that Night Blade was a Half-Step Grandmaster.
No matter how heaven-defying Lin Feng was, he was still half a realm weaker. And yet, in that direct clash, he had completely repelled Night Blade.
Lin Feng's face was flushed, his body trembling as he stared at Night Blade.
Night Blade smiled bitterly to himself. He knew Lin Feng would never give up easily, which meant he wouldn't let up his attack. Of that, there was no doubt.
Night Blade hadn't expected this. He had already unleashed his full power, yet he still couldn't cut Lin Feng down.
"Is this the full extent of your strength?"
"It's impressive, but not enough to kill me!"
A sharp glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, a terrifying light shining from their depths.
He took a single step and shot forward like a cheetah, rushing toward Night Blade.
The two clashed continuously in mid-air, engaging in close-quarters combat. Empowered by their Inner Strength, their figures blurred into a series of overlapping phantoms.
BANG!
Lin Feng threw a heavy punch, sending Night Blade staggering back about ten feet.
Night Blade used the momentum to fly backward, creating a safe distance between them.
Night Blade stared at Lin Feng, his expression incredibly grim. He was furious; that last punch had contained all his strength.
He had thought it would be enough to kill Lin Feng, but his opponent's strength had exceeded his expectations. He was starting to feel the pressure.
SWOOSH!
Lin Feng seized the opportunity to rush forward. With a flip of his hand, he chopped toward Night Blade's neck. The palm strike looked plain and simple, but it was laced with powerful Inner Strength.
When Night Blade saw the chop coming, he didn't panic. He could clearly sense that Lin Feng had also expended a great deal of energy.
'Even if I just stand here and let him attack, he'd have a hard time seriously injuring me with a single blow.'
But he had underestimated Lin Feng's speed. The power of the palm strike suddenly surged, becoming as fast as a bolt of lightning.
Night Blade was startled, his pupils contracting. He knew Lin Feng was going all out. If he didn't resist with his full strength, the consequences would be dire.
'This kid's stamina... what in the world is going on?'
Night Blade's brow furrowed deeply. Lin Feng's actual power was indeed inferior to his, but his stamina far surpassed his own. The situation was truly baffling.
'If this keeps up, my Inner Strength will be the first to run out!'
But while he was analyzing their respective advantages, Lin Feng's palm was already upon him. Not wanting to take the risk, he chose to dodge.
But Lin Feng seemed to have anticipated his move. His already breakneck speed increased again, leaving Night Blade no room to evade. He could only face it head-on.
BAM!
With two muffled thuds, Night Blade was knocked back more than a dozen steps before he barely managed to stabilize himself. The stuffy feeling in his chest only intensified his rage.
His face grew even paler. Lin Feng's palm had struck a vital point, and his chest showed signs of collapsing.
PTUI!
Another large mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out. Night Blade's cheeks twitched. He couldn't believe he'd actually been injured. But he was already past the point of no return. Having decided to risk it all, he wasn't about to back down now.
BANG!
Stomping forward again, Night Blade shook his arms, and an incredibly dense Inner Strength surged from his body!
Lin Feng was slightly surprised. 'Night Blade still has strength left? I didn't expect him to have so many trump cards.'
'As expected of a Half-Step Grandmaster who reached this level on his own. He's so much stronger than Li Xi, who barely became a Grandmaster by chugging pills.'
A solemn look flashed in his eyes, but Lin Feng felt no fear. 'After all, I have the advantage now. As long as I can hold out until someone from the Murong Clan finds us, I can escape this danger.'
'Of course, I can't hold out much hope for that.'
'After all, we aren't inside the Murong Family estate. Murong Yi Yun is still in a meeting with representatives from other families, and the powerhouses he brought with him must be protecting him.'
'This must be the main reason Night Blade dared to ambush me at this time!'
'I knew for a long time that after my previous actions, the other Hidden Clans would inevitably take notice of me.'
'I just didn't expect them to be so impatient as to make a move on me already.'
"Hah!"
With a sharp cry, waves of air surged around Lin Feng as his figure shot toward Night Blade like a bolt of lightning. The aura he now exuded was even more powerful.
This time, he was no longer holding back. He was going all out for real!
BOOM!
Night Blade snorted coldly and charged forward as well. His feet stomped on the ground with a tremendous thud, making the entire mountain peak tremble. Trees toppled over, and shattered rock flew everywhere!
CRASH!
