Chapter 146: Catch
And he had done it hastily, yet Wang Jing had actually managed to block it. This made Lin Feng marvel at just how extraordinary this Ancient Martial Artist truly was.
"Heh, what's wrong? Are you scared?"
Wang Jing sneered. 'This guy's strength is decent, I guess, but he's not someone I need to take seriously. After our recent exchange, it's clear that although his physical strength is absurdly high, it's still far too lacking compared to my own. Not even close.'
Lin Feng shook his head. He didn't answer, his eyes filled with resolve. With a single leap, his figure shot into the air.
BOOM!
Lin Feng unleashed a sweeping kick in mid-air, carrying the force of a mountain, and sent it flying toward Wang Jing. He was testing Wang Jing's strength; after all, there was something very strange about this man.
Seeing Lin Feng's leg coming at him, Wang Jing didn't dodge in the slightest. Instead, he slapped a palm directly at the incoming leg, which made Lin Feng's brow furrow. 'Is this guy crazy?'
BANG!
The next moment, Lin Feng's leg slammed into Wang Jing's hand. The tremendous force made Wang Jing's entire arm tremble.
He had been forced to block it head-on, and the power of the kick gave him quite a shock.
BANG!
Lin Feng bent his knees, then used the strength of his legs to launch himself forward like a cannonball, appearing before Wang Jing in the blink of an eye.
THUD, THUD, THUD!
The force from Lin Feng's kick sent Wang Jing staggering back three steps before he could finally dissipate the aftershock.
But that only dissipated the aftershock; a good portion of the force from Lin Feng's kick had still poured into his body.
"Pfft!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood. The power of that last kick was simply too immense; even he couldn't help but gasp.
If that kick had landed squarely, he was certain several of his ribs would have been broken, but in the end, he had managed to grit his teeth and endure it.
'This bastard!'
Wang Jing's pupils contracted. Lin Feng's last kick had been utterly terrifying. If it weren't for his own profound strength and the protection of his Inner Strength, he probably would have been severely injured by that single blow.
At this thought, his gaze grew even colder. 'I absolutely cannot let this Lin Feng live!'
Wang Jing's body suddenly tensed. The astral energy swirling around him grew more and more intense. He was about to unleash a killing move.
His figure abruptly vanished, reappearing right beside Lin Feng. He thrust out both palms, which carried a ferocious energy, aiming straight for Lin Feng's neck.
SWISH!
Lin Feng's figure sidestepped with extreme speed, easily dodging the fatal blow.
BOOM!
Wang Jing's palms slammed into the ground. For a moment, shattered stones flew everywhere, and the ground caved in over two feet deep, a testament to the strength of his power.
WHOOSH!
Lin Feng's body flickered continuously, but Wang Jing, not to be outdone, engaged him in a fierce dogfight in the air. A flurry of afterimages appeared, dazzling the eye, and every one of their clashes triggered a sonic boom. The scene was nothing short of terrifying.
CLANG!
The sound of metal striking metal rang out incessantly. Lin Feng's palms, as fast as flashing thunder, struck toward Wang Jing. Not to be outdone, Wang Jing met the attacks with his own hands, but with every brutal impact, a trickle of fresh blood escaped the corner of his mouth.
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. 'Wang Jing's strength is truly impressive. To have reached the Early Stage of Transformation Realm at such a young age… his aptitude can only be described as heaven-defying.'
But Lin Feng wasn't worried. On the contrary, he grew more invigorated the longer he fought. Wang Jing's attacks were ferocious and swift, but his defense was clumsy. Because of this, Wang Jing had fallen into a clear disadvantage.
BOOM!
After another explosive collision, the two separated. Wang Jing's face was deathly pale, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. His gaze toward Lin Feng now held a hint of dread.
Lin Feng's combat prowess was unexpectedly strong, which shocked him, but it also strengthened his resolve to kill him.
Wang Jing slowly straightened up and wiped the blood from his lips. His expression grew solemn as he looked at Lin Feng. At the same time, Lin Feng focused his mind, knowing he had to handle this battle with caution.
Wang Jing's previous assault had been incredibly fierce but was riddled with openings. Lin Feng could also sense that Wang Jing was starting to tire. However, it felt as if the man was still holding a trump card, which kept Lin Feng on his guard.
Just then, Wang Jing suddenly grinned, his eyes filled with mockery as he looked at Lin Feng. He was certain he would cut Lin Feng down today.
BOOM!
Wang Jing's body suddenly shuddered. A tyrannical wave of astral energy erupted from within him, and his entire aura instantly skyrocketed.
Only then did a ferocious expression appear on his face. "Kid, you're courting death, so don't blame me for what happens next."
With that, he let out a furious roar and shot forward, pouncing toward Lin Feng. At this moment, he no longer seemed human, but more like a wild beast, with Lin Feng as the prey waiting to be slaughtered.
SHING!
Wang Jing's palms moved like phantoms, accompanied by the sharp sound of tearing wind. For a moment, the air continuously crackled and exploded.
Now, Wang Jing seemed to have transformed into a savage bull, charging forward relentlessly, ready to crush everything in his path to dust.
Faced with Wang Jing's wild and ferocious assault, Lin Feng's brows locked tightly. 'So, Wang Jing really was hiding his strength.'
BANG!
The thunderous sound of one Palm Seal after another rang out as Lin Feng was forced to retreat continuously. But Wang Jing pursued him relentlessly, giving him no opportunity to catch his breath.
Moreover, he seemed to have locked onto Lin Feng, unleashing a furious barrage the moment he found an opening. His attacks grew fiercer and fiercer, as if he wouldn't rest until he had slain him.
Gradually, Lin Feng began to struggle to fend him off. In contrast, Wang Jing had completely shed his earlier disadvantage, growing stronger and more ferocious with each exchange.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, was steadily losing ground. This was no longer a stalemate; Lin Feng was now at a complete disadvantage.
Furthermore, the situation was rapidly deteriorating. At this rate, Lin Feng's defeat was certain.
'Is this the gap between the Peak of Late Stage Innate and my current level?'
'It's proving to be more difficult than I thought.'
A slight smile lifted the corners of Lin Feng's mouth. Wang Jing's strength was certainly formidable. In a long time, very few enemies had ever proven to be a difficult challenge for Lin Feng, and the man before him was one of them.
However, this level was still not enough. It was far from reaching the effect Lin Feng had anticipated.
Lin Feng's gaze gradually focused. He took a deep breath, and suddenly, a majestic surge of Inner Strength—
—like a tidal wave, flooded his entire body. His muscles instantly swelled, and his clothes were stretched to the bursting point, his frame becoming larger and more imposing.
