Chapter 162: The Fall
WHOOSH!
His figure blurred into a hazy afterimage as he rushed toward the tiger.
BOOM!
Lin Feng's fist collided with the tiger once again. This time, however, the tiger was sent tumbling to the ground. The force of the blow sent its body sliding several meters, carving a wide, several-meter-long gouge into the hard-packed earth!
AWOO!
The tiger let out a wretched howl, shaking its massive head as it slowly climbed to its feet. Its crimson eyes were filled with resentment. Today's events were a profound humiliation, yet they also gave it a new sense of hope. 'This little prey must die today.'
At this thought, the tiger's form trembled, and its body began to slowly vanish before Lin Feng's eyes.
Lin Feng stood his ground, watching the tiger disappear. His eyes turned cold. The tiger had already appeared behind him! He quickly spun around and threw a punch at it!
BANG!
Lin Feng's punch met the tiger's sharp claws squarely. The immense force sent Lin Feng flying, knocking him to the ground.
It was only because Lin Feng was strong enough; any other Martial Cultivator would have likely been crushed to death by such terrifying power.
But Lin Feng's hands still gripped the tiger's claws tightly. He knew the beast wouldn't give up easily. It had been hiding in the grass, out here in the desolate wilderness. If he let it escape, he would never know a day of peace.
This time, Lin Feng didn't immediately counterattack. Instead, he pushed his speed to its absolute limit. He knew that to win, he had to overpower the tiger with speed.
SWISH!
Lin Feng tapped his toes on the ground, his body floating away from his original spot. The tiger gave chase at once, but Lin Feng's speed allowed him to evade it perfectly.
He moved like a phantom, weaving and leaping through the air, yet he never made contact with the tiger, merely using every method at his disposal to dodge.
WHOOSH!
The tiger's claws swept out again and again, scything down the surrounding weeds. Even the towering, ancient trees weren't spared; they would snap and break whenever the tiger's claws grazed them.
Some of the larger trees were even severed at their trunks. One could only imagine the terrifying power and attack strength this tiger possessed.
BANG!
He dodged another of the tiger's attacks, but the beast took the opportunity to snap at Lin Feng's arm. Lin Feng was ready for it. Bending his right arm slightly, he drove his elbow straight into the tiger's mouth.
SQUIRT!
Blood splattered as the tiger's teeth shattered. The beast whimpered in pain, but it showed no intention of letting go. Its sharp claws tore relentlessly at Lin Feng's sleeve, trying to rip a piece of it off.
Lin Feng didn't hold back either. He kicked out with his left leg, sending the tiger flying. This time, however, the tiger was prepared. It twisted in mid-air, dodging Lin Feng's strike.
What followed was a game of cat and mouse as the two wove through the dense forest. The tiger's attacks were exceptionally fierce, each blow landing with the force of a powerful gale.
But the longer he fought, the more excited Lin Feng became. He was starting to understand: the tiger didn't seem to know any martial arts techniques, but its attacks were incredibly cunning. The moment it found an opening, it would launch a thunderous assault.
THUMP!
The tiger launched another ferocious offensive, but Lin Feng blocked it time and time again. Although the tiger's attacks were sharp, Lin Feng's strength was simply too great, and he was able to knock it back with every exchange. The two were locked in a stalemate.
The tiger was huge, while Lin Feng was far more agile. And so, the two combatants, one massive and one nimble, became entangled in the dense forest.
Lin Feng felt how tricky this was. The tiger's attacks were exceedingly vicious, and its strength and speed were incredible. He didn't dare to meet them head-on. Exploiting its weaknesses was his only path to victory.
BANG!
Two tiger paws slammed viciously onto Lin Feng's shoulders. He was sent flying instantly, crashing through a patch of shrubs, but he hadn't suffered any damage to his bones or muscles.
AWOO!
Seeing that Lin Feng was completely unscathed, the tiger became utterly enraged. Its roar echoed throughout the valley, a deafening sound like a clap of thunder.
It had never encountered an enemy like Lin Feng, who could survive its attacks for so long without dying.
Just then, Lin Feng leaped into the air once more. This time, he landed his feet heavily on the tiger's massive chest. Then, rotating his body in mid-air, he swung his arm in a wide arc and smashed it down toward the ground!
Lin Feng's arm seemed to be filled with explosive power. The force was definitely greater than even his hand chops!
BANG!
A dull thud echoed out. Lin Feng's arm had plunged directly into the earth, the immense force smashing a deep crater into the ground!
The tiger was also slammed into the ground by Lin Feng's arm. The earth cracked several inches deep from the impact. The tiger was left completely dazed, its body twitching and struggling.
AWOO!
The tiger's cry was shrill, clearly in extreme pain. It wanted to get up and attack Lin Feng, but he gave it no such chance. Hooking his legs around the tiger's neck, he suddenly exerted his strength and lifted the beast straight up.
ROAR!
The tiger was stunned by Lin Feng's sudden move, but it immediately began to struggle wildly. Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. The veins on his arms bulged, and his muscles swelled as if they were about to burst.
CRACK!
Lin Feng threw the tiger into the air, then kicked off the ground, launching himself forward. He drove his powerful knees hard into the tiger's abdomen, then twisted his body in mid-air and flung the beast away.
THWAP!
Lin Feng's body landed steadily on the ground. A faint smile appeared on his face as he looked at the tiger, which lay prone, panting ceaselessly.
Just now, Lin Feng had used a brand-new technique, one he had just comprehended: Spiral Energy.
This Spiral Energy could concentrate the power of his entire body into the soles of his feet and release it in a single instant. The immense force was enough to shatter anything.
His last attack was the result of him concentrating all his power into his legs and blasting the tiger with it.
And while this tiger was tough and thick-skinned, it was still just a beast; its defenses weren't particularly strong. As a result, the blow from Lin Feng had left its fur in complete disarray.
Even its internal organs were injured. If not for the tiger's large size, that single strike would have been enough to cripple it.
HISS... HISSS...
The tiger lay on the ground, panting nonstop. The power of the Spiral Energy was truly astonishing. The tiger was already seriously injured. If the fight continued, it might not survive.
WHOOSH!
