Chapter 490: Replenishment
A wound so deep the bone was visible had been left on his chest, fresh blood gushing out. But Lin Feng paid it no mind.
It was merely a flesh wound, nothing serious. With the medicinal pill replenishing his body, it would heal in no time.
Lin Feng's injuries weren't as severe as they looked. Just then, Night Blade attacked once more.
A fleeting afterimage flashed past. Night Blade's body blurred into a hazy phantom as he charged straight for Lin Feng.
Night Blade's strike didn't pose much of a threat to Lin Feng, but he knew the man was now preparing to end his life.
In that instant, Lin Feng felt the threat of death loom over him. He didn't hesitate, nor did he choose to dodge.
Instead, he met the attack head-on, crashing toward Night Blade. His goal was to draw the man in close.
Lin Feng's actions made Night Blade frown slightly. His strength was far superior to Lin Feng's; in his eyes, this proactive attack was nothing short of a death wish.
Lin Feng's assault was unbelievably ferocious. He was now attacking with reckless abandon, completely shedding the timidness from before.
Night Blade's eyes narrowed. Since Lin Feng had lost his mind, he shouldn't be blamed for being ruthless.
He was now determined to kill Lin Feng. He absolutely had to cut him down.
Taking a single step, his body moved like lightning. In the blink of an eye, he appeared at Lin Feng's side.
He lashed out with a thick, powerful leg, the kick whistling through the air with immense force.
If it landed squarely, Lin Feng's ribs would surely be shattered, leaving him half-dead at best!
Yet Lin Feng neither dodged nor flinched. Instead, he raised his right arm to block Night Blade's attack while simultaneously blasting his left fist toward him with astonishing, indomitable momentum!
BAM!
Lin Feng's fist collided directly with Night Blade's thigh. A massive shockwave radiated outward, and countless cracks appeared in the ground.
CRACK...
The ground instantly fractured. Night Blade was blasted backward, retreating a full seven or eight steps before steadying himself.
The muscles on Lin Feng's arm bulged, but he was otherwise unharmed.
Both men froze, their faces showing astonishment. Lin Feng had actually withstood the attack. How was that possible?
This full-power strike was one of Night Blade's strongest moves. And now, Lin Feng had not only tanked it head-on but had even sent Night Blade reeling.
But that wasn't the most terrifying part. The most terrifying part was that Lin Feng stood his ground, not budging an inch. Such an outcome was simply unbelievable to Night Blade.
Night Blade's gaze turned sharp. He was truly furious now. He never expected someone as young as Lin Feng to possess such power.
He knew he had finally met a formidable opponent. Lin Feng's monstrous talent was enough to make him shudder.
"What a troublesome bastard. To think he can still withstand my attacks at this point."
Night Blade said coldly. Lin Feng's performance had ignited his will to fight. This was a battle between titans, and he wouldn't miss it for the world. He had to go all out now; after all, Lin Feng's potential had thoroughly frightened him.
This time, Night Blade held nothing back. With a flick of his wrist, his dagger shot out, flying straight toward Lin Feng.
WHOOSH!
The dagger let out a piercing shriek as it flew toward Lin Feng. A faint black aura, so faint it seemed like an illusion, materialized around it, enveloping the blade.
The moment the dagger left his hand, it vanished in mid-air. When it reappeared, it was already behind Lin Feng, stabbing toward the center of his back.
The instant Night Blade's dagger appeared, Lin Feng spun and swung his longsword. However, the sword only grazed the dagger's shadow, not touching the blade in the slightest.
At the same time, Night Blade's body flickered and disappeared once more. Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. He was now in grave danger.
Although Lin Feng had dodged the dagger, Night Blade's own speed didn't falter.
He kicked off the ground, his entire body shooting forward like a cannonball. Pouncing on Lin Feng, he spread his fingers and clawed for his throat.
BANG!
A muffled sound rang out as Lin Feng's palm collided with Night Blade's claw-like hand. But Lin Feng didn't budge an inch. The sight left Night Blade momentarily stunned.
He hadn't expected that even an attack like this would fail to faze Lin Feng. But Lin Feng then used the recoil to take a step back before kicking Night Blade in the stomach, sending him flying several meters.
*Cough*...
Night Blade let out a soft cough, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. Clearly, that last exchange had not been pleasant for him.
His heart grew heavier. Lin Feng's current strength had far surpassed his expectations.
Even just moments ago, he had believed he could easily crush Lin Feng with his superior cultivation realm. Now, it was clear he had gravely underestimated him.
In that instant, Lin Feng shot toward Night Blade like a sharp arrow. His body moved like lightning, leaving a white streak in the air as he appeared before Night Blade in a flash.
He thrust his treasured longsword forward. A dazzling white light erupted, like a blazing sun, stabbing straight at Night Blade.
Night Blade's pupils constricted. He now understood that Lin Feng truly wanted to kill him. The speed of this sword strike was simply too fast, and the energy contained within its blade was utterly astonishing.
SWISH!
Kicking off the ground, he leaped high into the air. But Lin Feng's attack relentlessly pursued him, continuing its assault on Night Blade.
Just then, Lin Feng's body tensed. He knew that Night Blade's speed was too great; he had to avoid a direct confrontation for now, or he would surely be at a disadvantage.
SWISH! SWISH!
Night Blade and Lin Feng were once again locked in a fierce struggle, but Lin Feng held no advantage.
He could match Night Blade and hold him at a stalemate, but it was only a stalemate. He wasn't skilled in close-quarters combat, whereas Night Blade specialized in it, making him a perfect counter.
Lin Feng was well aware of this, so he had no intention of fighting Night Blade head-on. The situation was extremely unfavorable for him.
Night Blade's speed and technique were far superior to his own. If he didn't find a way to change things, he was destined to lose.
Right now, the only solution was to force Night Blade to retreat. That would be the most sensible course of action. But Lin Feng didn't do that.
He absolutely would not give up now. He had already backed himself into a corner.
