Chapter 102: Reaction
"What a quick reaction!"
The man exclaimed in surprise. He flicked his wrist, trying to spin the dagger in his hand, but Lin Feng's grip was immense. The blade wouldn't budge an inch.
But it wasn't over. Lin Feng suddenly applied more force, wrenching the man's arm behind his back. Then, his hand formed a claw, and with a light press and pull at the man's shoulder...
"KRAK!"
Just like that, Lin Feng dislocated the man's arm. In the same instant, he swept the man's legs out from under him and stomped his foot viciously onto his neck.
"Cough…"
The man coughed violently, his face turning purple from the pressure, but he clenched his jaw and refused to make a sound.
At that moment, Lin Feng slapped him hard across the side of the face, knocking him unconscious.
"SWOOSH!"
But before the man could pass out, Lin Feng heard the sound of something slicing through the air. Flying needles shot toward him.
"Release our brother!"
The two remaining men finally snapped out of their stupor. They yelled, but it was too late. The flying needles were already upon Lin Feng.
"BANG! BANG!"
Lin Feng punched out with both fists, shattering the needles. Although their cultivation level was far below his, the hidden weapons were still a nuisance and had delayed him for a moment.
"THUD! THUD!"
Just as Lin Feng destroyed the needles, two sickening thuds sounded out. The heads of the two men had been crushed, splattering blood and brain matter all over the ground.
"Utterly useless!"
A hoarse, aged voice rang out. Lin Feng's pupils contracted. He knew the expert hidden within the Wang Family Manor had finally appeared.
Sure enough, a figure flickered into view the next moment. He was hunchbacked, but his eyes radiated a sinister aura, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees.
"Heh heh… It seems you already have a sense of my strength. I don't mind telling you—my name is Zhang Yongsheng. Like you, I am an Innate Martial Artist. But you are no match for me!"
Zhang Yongsheng spoke in a sinister tone, but his voice was thick with arrogance. After all, if he didn't owe Wang Zeping a favor, he never would have accepted this job.
Hearing this, Lin Feng remained silent, simply shaking his head slightly at Zhang Yongsheng. His eyes were filled with boundless mockery.
Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Zhang Yongsheng flew into a rage. He was a dignified Innate-level expert, yet Lin Feng was looking down on him. The disdain was more painful than death itself.
"You're courting death!"
Zhang Yongsheng roared, then stomped his feet hard on the ground, launching himself toward Lin Feng like a cannonball.
Veins bulged on his withered fist as it flew toward Lin Feng, carrying a terrifying force capable of shattering mountains and splitting stone.
"Get lost!"
Lin Feng barked coldly, sweeping his right leg toward Zhang Yongsheng's fist. In that instant, all the muscles in his body bulged, and his bones emitted a series of cracking sounds. His leg whipped out like a lash.
"BOOM!"
With a muffled boom, their attacks collided. Lin Feng's body slid backward and didn't stop until he had skidded five or six meters away. He looked at Zhang Yongsheng, the fighting spirit in his eyes growing more intense.
"Not bad. You actually blocked my attack."
Zhang Yongsheng looked at Lin Feng, feeling rather impressed. He had thought that single punch would be enough to kill Lin Feng, but he hadn't expected the boy's defense to be so formidable. He had taken the full force of a long-charged attack and wasn't even killed on the spot.
"You thought you could beat me with just one punch? You're dreaming, old man."
Lin Feng said indifferently. He had indeed been at a disadvantage just now, but that was all. He hadn't used his full strength, as he wanted to test his current power level.
"You little bastard, you dare insult me!"
Zhang Yongsheng was stunned, his eyes wide with disbelief. He never thought this brat would dare to be so arrogant.
"Your strength is indeed impressive, but today, you're facing me!"
Lin Feng now looked at Zhang Yongsheng, his eyes filled with nothing but the will to fight.
"Then let me teach you a lesson today. The young should know their place and respect the rules. This is no place for you to run wild. Get on your knees and admit defeat!"
Zhang Yongsheng took a step forward, and immense Inner Strength surged into his right fist. This was a special Body Refining Secret Technique. As a Martial Artist from a hidden sect, he was naturally on a different level from the Martial Artists of the Mortal Realm, who knew only how to use brute force.
"You really are arrogant. But I wonder how many punches you can take."
Lin Feng's eyes turned cold. He bent his knees slightly and then exploded forward, charging at Zhang Yongsheng. The moment his feet pushed off, a large patch of the lawn was kicked into the air.
"BANG! BANG! BANG…"
A series of dense explosions erupted. Lin Feng moved like a phantom, weaving in front of Zhang Yongsheng and unleashing a torrent of Fist Gang attacks.
Zhang Yongsheng was no slouch, either. His figure flickered like an illusion, erratically dodging each attack and counterattacking from the most opportune positions.
His speed was like lightning, forcing Lin Feng to remain completely focused. He understood that Zhang Yongsheng's skill was on a completely different level than the three from the Wang Family.
"BOOM!"
A sharp explosion rang out, and Lin Feng's figure was sent flying back several dozen meters. He regulated his ragged breathing, his gaze on Zhang Yongsheng growing even more solemn. 'I'm only just now realizing how terrifying this guy's strength really is.'
"Haha… Little one, I advise you to surrender. Your strength is passable, but it's a far cry from this old man's."
Zhang Yongsheng said with a long laugh, his eyes mocking Lin Feng. He hadn't used his full strength just now, only launching a few probing attacks. Even so, he had managed to injure Lin Feng with the shockwaves.
"Your strength isn't weak, but you're not worthy of negotiating with me."
Lin Feng spoke without a trace of fear, his eyes like ice. 'Although it looked like I had a slight advantage in that exchange, I know Zhang Yongsheng was just testing me. If he went all out, I'd definitely lose. I have to be careful.'
"Hmph! Since you've refused my kindness, don't blame me for being merciless. I'll make sure you die a miserable death!"
Zhang Yongsheng shot Lin Feng a cold glare, then his body vanished from the spot once more. At the same time, a terrifying gust of wind rushed toward Lin Feng. Zhang Yongsheng's speed was extreme, and his power was astonishing.
"SHING!"
A short sword appeared silently behind Lin Feng and stabbed forward like a bolt of lightning.
Lin Feng's eyes sharpened. He leaned to the side but didn't dodge. Instead, he reached out and grabbed the sharp blade with his bare hand. 'I will meet him head-on! I will use the pressure from Zhang Yongsheng to advance my realm!'
