Chapter 57: Bizarre
At that thought, Lin Feng stepped forward. His body twisted with unbelievable flexibility as he launched a mid-air kick, sending the nearly-detonated grenade hundreds of meters into the sky!
BOOM!
Less than a second later, the grenade exploded in mid-air. The terrifying shockwave blew Lin Feng's hair back.
If he had been even a second slower, he would have been blown to smithereens.
He also realized this man was no simple opponent. 'That move was absolutely vicious!'
"Kid, you're strong! But today, I'm still sending you to your grave!"
The man's eyes narrowed, his gaze on Lin Feng filled with a chilling intensity. He didn't like to waste words. 'The more you talk, the sooner you die!'
With those words, the man's figure vanished again. His speed was so immense that even Lin Feng was stunned.
SWISH!
But in the next instant, the man abruptly appeared behind Lin Feng, sweeping a whip kick toward him.
The kick was immensely powerful. If it landed, it would have cost him half his life.
But how could Lin Feng let him have his way?
The instant the man's leg swept in, Lin Feng suddenly spun around and met it with a punch, slamming it directly into his leg!
THUD!
A dull thud of flesh on flesh echoed as Lin Feng stood firm, not moving an inch. The other man, however, staggered back two or three steps, his face slightly pale.
'In hand-to-hand combat, I'm actually no match for him?!'
The man gritted his teeth. Beads of blood seeped from his leg, and he looked to be in a sorry state.
His gaze turned exceptionally grave. This time, he got serious, swinging his fists with all his might. They tore through the air with a frantic whoosh as he charged at Lin Feng!
CLICK!
At the same time, a crisp sound came from Lin Feng's right knee. He glanced down and saw that a gash had been opened on it, and crimson blood was now gushing from the wound!
Lin Feng looked up at the man, the killing intent in his eyes growing more intense.
The man's face was savage, his fists glinting with a metallic luster. Every single punch was filled with intimidating power!
Lin Feng blocked another punch head-on, but his body swayed and he was forced back a step.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Lin Feng at a disadvantage, the man's lips curled into a mocking smile. His body vanished again, reappearing in front of Lin Feng the next instant. He spun, his right fist hurtling toward Lin Feng's temple.
WHOOSH!
Lin Feng moved with extreme speed, reacting in the blink of an eye.
BANG!
The two collided again. This time, Lin Feng was knocked back a full four or five steps before he barely managed to steady himself.
His right arm was numb, as if it wasn't his own. His entire right hand felt limp and weak, and it was a struggle just to lift it.
He took a deep breath, frantically circulating the Inner Strength within his body to relieve some of the numbness in his arm. Then, he charged at his opponent once more!
Lin Feng aimed for the man's throat, but his opponent didn't evade, instead crossing his fists and smashing them viciously toward Lin Feng!
BAM! BAM!
The sound of fist meeting fist echoed as Lin Feng and the man vanished again, leaving only violent shockwaves raging in their place.
In just a few moments, they clashed dozens of times. Each time, Lin Feng was knocked back, and each time, the man pressed his advantage, forcing Lin Feng into a corner.
As Lin Feng parried the man's frenzied assault, he wracked his brain for a way to counter.
'This guy's body feels incredibly strange. He's not like an Ancient Martial Artist... more like some kind of bizarre hybrid.'
'His power is immense, but his movements are incredibly stiff and much slower than they should be, just like a robot.'
Lin Feng's thoughts raced. 'There's only one explanation for this: this guy was modified with some kind of drug!'
SWOOSH!
After another fierce collision, the man's figure once again vanished from Lin Feng's sight.
Lin Feng's brow twitched. He knew his opponent had used some kind of concealment technique. Without a moment's hesitation, he quietly unleashed his soul power!
However, his soul power detected nothing, as if the man had simply vanished into thin air.
But in the next second, Lin Feng sensed approaching danger, and a Fist Seal rapidly grew larger in his vision!
Instead of alarm, Lin Feng felt a pleasant surprise. 'My soul power finally found him!'
"Hah!"
He roared, his right hand shooting out like a claw to grab the incoming fist. Twisting his body, he slammed his right elbow into the man's abdomen!
THUMP!
The man was knocked to the ground coughing up blood, but Lin Feng didn't press his attack. It had only been a probing strike, insufficient to cause any real harm.
"Haha! Is that all you've got? If that's your best, you might as well give up now!"
Just as expected, the man seemed completely unaffected. He pushed himself right back up, a vicious smile spreading across his face.
Lin Feng's expression turned grave. 'I know exactly how powerful that elbow strike was. It could shatter a steel plate several centimeters thick.'
'And yet, this man's skin isn't even damaged. It's terrifying how tough his body is!'
But no matter how tough the man was, Lin Feng's own combat experience was vast. This time, he took the initiative, lunging straight for his opponent.
FWOOSH!
Lin Feng's left hand shot out, whipping through the air with a sharp whoosh. He shaped his palm into a blade and chopped viciously at the man's neck.
However, the man seemed to have anticipated the move. He leaned aside to dodge the fatal blow, then suddenly lunged forward.
His shoulder slammed into Lin Feng's chest, the immense force traveling through Lin Feng's ribs and sending him flying several meters.
Lin Feng landed with his knees bent to absorb the impact, barely managing to stop his backward momentum.
But the man was already pressing his advantage, charging toward Lin Feng again!
Lin Feng's eyes turned cold. 'His strength is immense, and he's a seasoned fighter. I can't gain the upper hand like this.'
'In that case, my only option is to trade blow for blow!'
BOOM!
Lin Feng leaped into the air, his hands forming claws as he tore toward the man's neck with incredible speed.
The man snorted, his body freezing in place. He waited until Lin Feng's hands were just about to reach him before suddenly shooting out his own hands, grabbing for Lin Feng's wrists to stop the attack.
He caught one of Lin Feng's wrists, while his other hand shot out and seized Lin Feng's ankle. Then he yanked hard!
RIP!
A long gash appeared on Lin Feng's calf, and blood sprayed out!
