Chapter 129: Outburst
Chen Wu roared furiously and lunged forward. Kicking off the ground, he shot out like an arrow loosed from its bow.
WHOOSH!
A vast, surging power erupted from his body, crashing toward Lin Feng like a tidal wave. His eyes were locked on him.
BAM!
A dull thud echoed as his figure flickered several times in mid-air before landing beside Lin Feng. He raised his hand and threw a punch, sending a terrifying gale of force smashing toward Lin Feng's head.
But Lin Feng's figure retreated swiftly. As he dodged the punch, he swept out a kick aimed at his opponent's kneecap.
A flash of surprise crossed Chen Wu's eyes; he hadn't expected Lin Feng to react so quickly. But he just snorted coldly, raising his other leg to block the kick.
BAM!
Another muffled impact rang out. Lin Feng's body didn't move an inch, though his breathing grew slightly more ragged.
Chen Wu, however, was violently thrown back several dozen meters before he could barely stop himself. Two deep grooves were carved into the ground beneath his feet. He had clearly suffered a great loss in that exchange.
He gasped for a few breaths, then stood up straight. His gaze toward Lin Feng was now filled with gravity.
"Kid, it seems you're actually worth taking seriously."
Chen Wu said slowly. He knew Lin Feng couldn't be just an ordinary Early Stage of Innate Martial Artist; otherwise, he never would have lasted this long.
"Cut the crap. I'm going to kill you. This is your last chance."
Lin Feng's voice was incredibly deep. Hearing it, Chen Wu felt a chill run down his spine.
"Heh... Are you kidding me? You? You think you're worthy of killing me? I'm going to tear you limb from limb today!"
Hearing this, Chen Wu sneered, his eyes filled with ridicule.
He wasted no more words. With a flicker, his body vanished from its spot.
The next instant, he was in front of Lin Feng, his right hand forming a claw as it shot toward Lin Feng's throat.
SWOOSH!
The sound of tearing air followed as Chen Wu's five fingers stabbed toward Lin Feng like hooks. Lin Feng raised his left hand to block, but in the next instant, a dazzling glint erupted in his eyes. He suddenly clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it viciously into Chen Wu's chest.
Chen Wu instantly felt as if his chest had been struck by a thousand-pound hammer, and his entire body was sent flying.
THUD!
Chen Wu slammed heavily onto the ground. An excruciating pain shot through him, his face went deathly pale, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. But he didn't give up. He gritted his teeth, stood up, and continued his assault.
The two figures became a tangled blur of constant collisions. Both men were giving it their all, mobilizing every ounce of their Inner Strength to clash with one another.
BAM!
A faint cracking sound came from Chen Wu's shoulder. He was blasted back several meters, blood spilling from his lips as waves of heart-rending pain wracked his body.
Lin Feng's assault didn't let up as he continued to press his fierce attack. He was in excellent condition. 'I've figured out his patterns,' he thought. 'I've got a handle on his rhythm. I have to hold on to this advantage.'
Chen Wu's expression was grim. Lin Feng's last few punches had wounded him severely, and now he was struggling to withstand the onslaught. It wasn't just that Lin Feng's physical strength and resilience were far beyond that of other Martial Artists; more importantly, his agility was much greater.
Chen Wu's speed was extreme, almost reaching its limit, but Lin Feng could still keep up with his movements. Although Chen Wu occasionally managed to grab his clothes or arm, Lin Feng always managed to escape.
BAM!
Lin Feng sent Chen Wu flying once again. Upon landing, Chen Wu's legs sank deep into the soil.
Chen Wu struggled to his feet. He clutched his chest, a trickle of crimson blood spilling from his lips, his face as pale as a sheet.
Chen Wu's face was savage. He roared and charged at Lin Feng, his iron fists clenched tight as streams of Inner Strength gathered within them.
Lin Feng's gaze sharpened. He narrowed his eyes, which were now filled with a piercing light.
"DIE!"
Chen Wu bellowed as his body trembled. He shot forward like a cannonball, appearing instantly before Lin Feng, his steel-like fists smashing violently toward Lin Feng's head.
A sharp glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. Instead of retreating, he advanced. He crossed his arms to block while simultaneously ducking under Chen Wu's iron fists.
Immediately after, Lin Feng jabbed out with both elbows, viciously slamming them into Chen Wu's midsection.
BAM!
The power of Lin Feng's double elbow strike was terrifying. Struck by the blow, Chen Wu was sent flying, spitting blood. He crashed hard against a tree trunk before falling back to the ground.
Chen Wu struggled to stand, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He glared at Lin Feng with a gloomy expression, a frigid chill flashing in his eyes.
'Now I finally get why Lin Feng dared to challenge me,' he thought. 'The guy was a wolf in sheep's clothing! He hid his strength far too well.'
COUGH! COUGH!
Chen Wu suddenly began to cough violently. His face was contorted, and bloody foam seeped from his lips.
The source of the agony was the spot Lin Feng had hit him earlier. That blow, delivered with the combined force of two overlapping Fist Seals, had been so powerful it had nearly cracked three or four of Chen Wu's ribs.
A cold arc formed on Lin Feng's lips, his eyes brimming with killing intent. Chen Wu no longer posed the same level of threat to him as before.
"Damn it!"
Hacking up a mouthful of blood, Chen Wu's eyes now resembled those of a ravenous beast, filled with a bloodthirsty light. 'This guy's strength is completely beyond my expectations!'
SWISH!
Chen Wu's body leaped up. He executed a graceful hawk flip and pounced toward Lin Feng again. His palms were already covered in a dense sheen of sweat.
'This damn bastard! He actually managed to withstand a heavy blow from me head-on. It's inconceivable!' he raged internally. 'I've been at the Peak of Mid-stage Innate Realm for a full three years!'
One could even say his power was infinitely close to the Late Stage of Innate, yet this guy's strength far exceeded his predictions.
'His strength is very likely greater than mine.'
'How is this possible? How can such a heaven-defying monster exist in this world?'
Chen Wu roared in his heart as his body suddenly shot into mid-air. He then flipped over and aimed a vicious kick at the top of Lin Feng's head.
WHOOSH!
Lin Feng's body moved like a phantom to dodge Chen Wu's ferocious strike. He used the counterforce to leap into the air, flipping once before abruptly turning toward Chen Wu and throwing a fierce punch.
BAM!
The two fists collided. Both men were stunned; Lin Feng hadn't expected Chen Wu's reaction to be so swift.
