The Capital's Dragon Doctor

The thought vanished as quickly as it came.

He simply couldn't believe a twenty-year-old could wield such terrifying power!

BANG!

At that moment, Lin Feng and Elder Li clashed. Lin Feng's fists were like cannonballs, the force of his instantaneous burst of power far exceeding what it was before.

CLANG!

Elder Li raised an arm to block one of Lin Feng's heavy punches. His arm shook so violently that he almost couldn't keep his hand clenched into a fist.

'Damn it!'

Elder Li cursed inwardly, a crazed light flashing in his eyes. With a flick of his wrists, he instantly changed his stance.

His movements looked deceptively slow, yet Lin Feng found himself unable to evade them.

Lin Feng's pupils constricted. 'So Elder Li is going to use his techniques on me.'

He crouched slightly, kicked off the ground, and leaped into the air above Elder Li. Then, twisting his waist, he drove his knee viciously toward Elder Li's temple.

The angle of the attack was incredibly tricky, but Elder Li showed no panic. In fact, he seemed even calmer than before.

His sandbag-sized fist met Lin Feng's knee in a slow, bizarre trajectory. It was a move that bordered on self-harm, yet it was brutally effective.

THUD!

A dull thud sounded as Elder Li's fist slammed into Lin Feng's knee.

Lin Feng was sent flying backward again, and he could feel his leg starting to go numb.

But Elder Li's expression grew increasingly grim. He realized that although he had managed to injure Lin Feng, the young man's body was as solid as a rock; he hadn't sustained any serious damage.

"You're strong, kid."

Elder Li stared at Lin Feng, his gaze sharp, and said in a chilling tone, "I'll admit, I underestimated you."

After speaking, his expression suddenly turned savage. Then, he enunciated each word, "But... it's not enough!"

The moment he finished speaking, he lunged forward. With a flick of his right hand, a dagger slid from his sleeve, and he viciously thrust it at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's eye twitched. 'So he did have another trick up his sleeve.'

Yet he showed no fear. Bending down, he snatched a dagger from the ground. It glinted coldly as he swung it in a brilliant, sharp arc, instantly parrying Elder Li's attack.

He hadn't used a weapon when fighting Huang Wenzhi, but Elder Li's strength was nearly on par with his. In fact, due to the current condition of his body, his opponent was even slightly stronger.

Lin Feng wasn't afraid, but he wasn't about to let himself be put at a disadvantage.

Elder Li was stunned. He never would have thought Lin Feng could counter his attack.

"Kid, looks like you're still not up to par. With skill like that, what makes you think you're worthy of being my opponent?"

Elder Li roared with laughter as his attacks grew fiercer. The dagger in his hand was like a venomous snake's tongue, constantly darting around Lin Feng.

The dagger was an immense threat; the slightest mistake would lead to a cut, and a direct stab would be perilous.

Lin Feng didn't try to block head-on, instead constantly sidestepping left and right to evade the dagger's strikes.

SWISH!

Elder Li's dagger once again shot toward Lin Feng's chest, its blade gleaming with a deadly light. If it hit, death or serious injury was certain.

The attack was so sudden that Lin Feng had no time to react.

But just in the nick of time, Lin Feng abruptly twisted his body, simultaneously slashing backward with his own dagger.

The move was flawless. His dagger viciously struck the one Elder Li had thrust at him.

Elder Li's dagger was sent flying, and Lin Feng, seizing the opportunity, followed through with a palm strike that landed heavily on Elder Li's shoulder.

It was an inch-strength strike. The palm sent Elder Li staggering back several steps.

THUMP!

Elder Li slammed into a wall before he could stop himself. He stared at Lin Feng, his eyes filled with apprehension.

"Such an advanced inch-strength technique?"

Elder Li muttered to himself. He hadn't expected Lin Feng to be able to push him into such a sorry state.

"How much longer can you keep this up?"

A cold smirk played on Lin Feng's lips, his eyes brimming with ridicule and contempt.

"You're courting death!"

At these words, Elder Li flew into a rage. His eyes suddenly turned red, and he looked as if he had transformed into a demon.

BOOM!

Elder Li was utterly enraged. Lin Feng's repeated displays of contempt had pushed him past his limit.

With a low roar, Elder Li transformed into a streak of light and shot toward Lin Feng.

The distance between them closed to less than three meters in an instant. A bloodthirsty killing intent flashed in Elder Li's eyes. He knew this was the perfect opportunity for a surprise attack, and he could not afford to fail.

Lin Feng's expression was grim, but his composure remained unshaken.

"Hah!"

Lin Feng let out a low shout and launched himself into the air, pouncing toward Elder Li.

BOOM!

Lin Feng's fist shot straight toward Elder Li's face. If it landed, it would surely smash his head to pieces on the spot!

WHOOSH!

At the critical moment, Elder Li raised a hand and caught Lin Feng's fist with unerring accuracy, halting its advance.

Lin Feng frowned. The force of his punch had been completely neutralized, which surprised him.

With his other hand, Lin Feng instantly formed an eagle's claw and swiped at Elder Li's throat.

But this time, Elder Li was prepared. His right hand shot out and clamped down on Lin Feng's wrist.

The two were locked in a stalemate in mid-air, neither able to gain the upper hand.

But gradually, Elder Li began to gain the upper hand. He applied a little pressure with his wrist, and Lin Feng felt a sharp, aching pain shoot through his own.

Elder Li seized the opportunity to twist with force. Lin Feng frowned, bending his arm just enough to completely neutralize the power behind the move.

Lin Feng's eyebrow twitched. 'If I had been any slower, my arm would have been dislocated. This guy really is worth the fortune the Wang Family paid for him. His combat experience is terrifyingly vast.'

WHOOSH!

But Lin Feng's movements didn't pause for even a second. Though his wrist was caught, he instantly adjusted his posture and threw a punch at Elder Li's chin.

Seeing this, Elder Li's expression darkened. He ducked to dodge the blow, but this brought them face-to-face.

Elder Li's eyes narrowed to slits. He stared at Lin Feng for a moment, then suddenly broke into a grin.

"Heh heh, kid, since you've served yourself up on a platter, I'll make sure this is where you're buried today."

WHOOSH...

The next second, Elder Li vanished from his spot, lunging toward Lin Feng like a cheetah.

Lin Feng gave a cold smile. Utterly fearless, he clenched his fists, ready to meet Elder Li head-on.

But Elder Li clearly had no intention of giving him that chance. He suddenly dropped low and unleashed a sweeping whip kick aimed straight at Lin Feng's head.

For a split second, Lin Feng was shaken, but he immediately regained his focus. He sidestepped to easily evade the kick while simultaneously thrusting his fist forward, aiming for the gap in Elder Li's ribs.

It was an inch-strength technique. Lin Feng had already cultivated his inch-strength to the foundational level, and the power of this move was even greater than his last.
