Chapter 60: Sonic Boom
Lin Feng bent slightly and whipped his right leg out in a horizontal kick. The power behind it was so terrifying it even created a sonic boom.
'I can't take that head-on!'
The man cursed inwardly. He quickly reined in his movements, concentrating all his strength in his waist to brace for the blow.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Lin Feng's face.
The man's Body Technique was strange, but Lin Feng had already seen through it. He had long since prepared a follow-up move for this strike.
BAM!
With a dull thud, the man took the full force of Lin Feng's whip kick and was sent flying.
The man's face turned deathly pale. He felt as if his internal organs were about to shatter, but he forced himself to endure. With a flick of his left hand, the strangely shaped revolver appeared in his grasp.
BANG!
An extremely odd gunshot rang out. The next moment, Lin Feng's movements froze. He frowned slightly as he looked at his left shoulder.
There was the mark of a bullet wound.
He had actually failed to dodge the shot!
Well, it wasn't that he hadn't dodged at all. The shot had originally been aimed at his heart. If he hadn't forcefully twisted his body at the last second...
...he might have already been killed by that bullet.
Lin Feng stared at the man in surprise, his heart growing heavy. This situation was simply unheard of!
His eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at the uniquely designed revolver in the other man's hand and already had an answer in his mind.
It wasn't the gun that was special, but the bullet that had just been fired!
CRACK!
Lin Feng flexed his right arm, and the sound of cracking bone came from his shoulder. Although the bullet had only grazed his flesh, it had still damaged the bone.
HISS!
When the man saw that Lin Feng had actually dodged his supposedly unmissable shot at the last second, his eyes went wide. He stared at Lin Feng in disbelief. The bullet he had just fired was the latest R&D from the Rose Mercenary Corps!
In all experiments and actual combat scenarios to date, basically no one had ever been able to evade the effects of this type of bullet.
The codename for this type of bullet was "Last Whisper."
"You're strong."
The man slowly got to his feet, his face grim. He stared at Lin Feng with a somber gaze, all his previous arrogance and confidence gone.
"Heh, I'll give you that. You've got some brains."
Lin Feng shook his head indifferently. He was growing more and more curious about what level of technology the hidden sects had reached.
If things were still the same as before, then a modern Ancient Martial Artist might truly be no match for an ordinary person!
'Five years... a lot has changed.'
Lin Feng thought to himself, showing no emotion.
After all, he didn't know how many more of those strange bullets the man had left in his gun.
There might be none left, or the revolver's entire cylinder could be loaded with them. Regardless, they were a threat.
The man said nothing, his expression grave.
All of this had taken less than half a minute, but to Lin Feng, it felt like an eternity. He knew that the previous exchange had been nothing more than a probe.
He wanted to find out the man's origins; perhaps he could glean some secrets about the Rose Mercenary Corps.
WHOOSH!
The man's finger tightened on the trigger as his body bent slightly, his center of gravity sinking. He was like a flower of death blooming alone in the darkness.
This was a very specific killing stance, a signature move of the Rose Mercenary Corps.
BUZZ!
A buzzing sound filled the air. The sound of the bullet cutting through the atmosphere was unnerving.
WHIZ!
The bullet shot out. Lin Feng snorted coldly and retreated without hesitation. Although he could tell from the muzzle velocity that this was just an ordinary bullet, he didn't dare to take the risk.
He could already see the bullet's trajectory. He was certain that if he had hesitated for even a tenth of a second, the bullet would have pierced his chest.
CLANG!
The bullet slammed into the wall, leaving a trail of tiny sparks, but it ultimately failed to penetrate.
A smirk played on Lin Feng's lips. The man's attacks were indeed incomparably sharp, but unfortunately for him, Lin Feng hadn't given him any openings.
WHOOSH...
Lin Feng's figure vanished, reappearing at the man's side the next instant and throwing a punch.
The man's reaction was also extremely fast. With a quick sway, he dodged Lin Feng's fatal blow.
The two of them went back and forth inside the room, fighting fiercely. Although Lin Feng was slightly injured, he still maintained the upper hand.
The other man, however, had taken significant damage and was now being steadily pushed back.
Seizing an opportunity, Lin Feng shot out a vicious kick aimed straight at the man's chest.
The man quickly raised his arms to block. Using the force of the kick, he threw himself backward, escaping Lin Feng's attack range in this peculiar way.
His breathing was slightly ragged, but his eyes were still bright. He took a deep breath.
BANG!
A series of gunshots erupted from the man's weapon. Lin Feng hurriedly dodged while grabbing a nearby object and throwing it at him.
BOOM!
With a huge explosion, one of the man's shots blasted the room's table and chairs to smithereens.
Lin Feng, meanwhile, used this opportunity to quickly get away.
One attacked head-on while the other hid in the shadows.
A fierce battle unfolded in the villa, but it stopped as quickly as it had begun.
The man's gun was already out of bullets. His right arm hung limply at his side, blood trickling down to the floor.
Lin Feng stood quietly in the distance. His clothes were in disarray, and his expression had turned serious.
'This guy is worthy of being a member of the Rose Mercenary Corps.'
"Haha!"
Seeing Lin Feng suffer a setback, the man couldn't help but laugh out loud. But the intense pain in his right arm made his laughter sound all the more miserable.
"What? You want to keep going?"
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, his gaze cold as he looked at the man.
"Hmph!"
The man grunted, "I have never failed or given up on a mission."
"Unless I die today, don't even think about getting out of here alive!"
He slowly stood up from behind his cover. With one hand, he pushed open the cylinder, ejecting the yellow shell casings, and reloaded it with six new bullets.
And Lin Feng's eyes caught sight of the most unusual one among the six bullets.
A bullet that seemed to be forged from gold.
'So that's the special bullet the kid was using earlier?'
Lin Feng's brows furrowed slightly as a faint killing intent emerged in his eyes.
