Chapter 211: Frowning
Lin Feng frowned slightly at this common martial art. 'This guy knows this kind of technique, too?'
The Hand-Wrapping technique is used to entangle an enemy's wrist and prevent them from exerting force. However, it wasn't like a common grappling hold; its main purpose was to enhance fighting skill and body coordination.
But it was obvious the burly man wasn't using the Hand-Wrapping technique just to restrain Lin Feng's wrist. He had other plans.
And just as he expected!
With a single tug from the burly man, Lin Feng's short sword was pulled from his grasp. Lin Feng was startled, but his reaction was swift.
He pushed off with one foot, leaning his body back, and the short sword slid down past his waist. But the burly man didn't let go. Instead, he yanked hard, and Lin Feng, suddenly weightless, was sent flying through the air.
"Heh heh."
The burly man laughed sinisterly, a bloodthirsty, vicious light glinting in his eyes. He planned to use delaying tactics to drain Lin Feng's stamina. Once Lin Feng's Inner Strength was depleted, he would execute him.
But he had overestimated himself and underestimated Lin Feng's resilience—or rather, he'd overlooked his own lack of stamina. Despite the burly man's frenzied assault, Lin Feng was only slightly fatigued.
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed, a sharp glint flashing within them. Seeing this, the burly man knew he was in trouble.
But it was too late to retreat. The burly man's body trembled as he felt a terrifying force wash over him.
"THUD!"
Like a cannonball, Lin Feng slammed violently into the burly man's chest. The man let out a wretched howl, stumbling back several steps before collapsing to the ground.
"How... how could this be?"
The burly man's face was a mask of shock and disbelief. He couldn't understand how Lin Feng could suddenly unleash such terrifying strength!
He refused to believe it. It was absolutely impossible. It had only been a few minutes, yet Lin Feng's strength had surged so dramatically. Wasn't the gap between their abilities supposed to be enormous?
'How in the world does this Lin Feng train? How could he have gotten so much stronger in such a short time?'
Lin Feng stood in the distance, his expression calm. His own face didn't look too good either, but he couldn't worry about that now.
"PSHH!"
He brandished the short sword in his hand, and blood sprayed from a ghastly gash the burly man had carved into his arm. But a wound like this was nothing to him!
Lin Feng's body blurred as he once again surged forward, the short sword in his hand aiming straight for the man's throat!
"SWISH!"
The burly man was shocked. He hadn't expected Lin Feng's adaptability and ruthlessness to be so extreme. How could one person's combat instincts be so terrifying?
Seeing Lin Feng close in, he hurriedly raised his short knife to parry!
"CLANG!"
With a flick of his wrist, Lin Feng's sharp sword blocked the man's descending knife. Immediately after, he channeled power into his leg and unleashed a sweeping whip kick!
"BANG!"
The kick landed squarely on the burly man's knee. His body froze for an instant before his face contorted in agony. He crumpled to the ground, the intense pain causing veins to bulge on his forehead as his entire body trembled uncontrollably.
"Pfft!"
The burly man struggled to his feet, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His eyes, however, still blazed with fury. That Lin Feng had not only wounded him but defeated him on the spot—he couldn't accept such a humiliation.
"You're forcing me to kill you!"
The burly man stared at Lin Feng, a vicious red gleam in his eyes. He knew he had to kill Lin Feng today. Otherwise, the consequences would be endless. If a monster with such talent were allowed to grow, he would surely bring about his doom one day!
Hearing this, Lin Feng gave a scornful laugh. 'Did I manage to piss him off? People like this really are foolish.'
Lin Feng shook his head. With a flick of his wrist, his short sword once again carved a beautiful semicircle, slicing toward the burly man's neck!
"CLANG!"
The sound of metal striking metal rang out. The blade of the short sword collided with the burly man's neck and actually sent a shower of sparks flying!
Lin Feng's brow furrowed. He knew his strength was no match for the burly man before him, but he wasn't a pushover. Since they had already dropped all pretenses, he certainly wasn't going to be polite!
"Hah!"
With a sharp cry from Lin Feng, the burly man's hands shot out and instantly clamped down on his wrist. He had been beaten into a sorry state, but in reality, he hadn't suffered much damage.
His physical body was a notch stronger than Lin Feng's, creating the illusion that Lin Feng was no match for him and that all his efforts were futile!
"POW!"
Lin Feng drove an elbow into the burly man's ribs, breaking them and leaving a dark bruise, but a blow like this wasn't enough to kill him!
"Argh..."
The burly man screamed in agony, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. But instead of letting go of Lin Feng's hand, he clenched his fists and punched toward Lin Feng's face.
'This guy is tough. Looks like he's ready to risk it all!'
Lin Feng snorted coldly and retreated, dodging the man's attack.
He knew he wouldn't gain any advantage in a head-on clash. The best strategy now was to wear down the burly man's stamina, then seize the opportunity to finish him!
"WHAM!"
The burly man's punch hit empty air. He lunged at Lin Feng again, his massive fist swinging toward him like a meteor hammer.
The fierce, domineering power of the blow kicked up clouds of dust, and the whistling wind it generated was strong enough to sting the skin!
Lin Feng's figure moved with graceful agility, weaving and dodging under the burly man's fists. He narrowly avoided each attack, his own moves cunning and strange. His speed was so great that every one of his counterattacks caught the man off guard.
"It's time to end this!"
Finally, Lin Feng found an opening. Stomping his right foot hard on the ground to launch himself forward, he shot out, his short sword flashing with cold light as he brought it down on the burly man's head!
The burly man's pupils shrank, and alarm bells screamed in his mind. But he was in the middle of an attack and had no time to react, only able to raise his left arm in a desperate, subconscious block.
"SCHLICK!"
With the sickening thud of a blade sinking into flesh, the burly man's left arm was sliced clean off. Blood instantly stained his clothes red.
Murderous intent radiated from Lin Feng's eyes. His figure moved like a ghost, slipping past the man's severed arm to appear behind him. He thrust his short sword forward and slit the man's throat!
"Gurgle..."
The man's throat convulsed a few times as crimson blood sprayed from the wound. His body slowly crumpled to the ground, his eyes wide with bitter unwillingness and regret!
"What? This... this is impossible!"
Seeing this, Chen Yongliang, whose expression had been arrogant just moments before, stared wide-eyed, his face turning pale.
This brute was the strongest Martial Artist under his command, and now he had actually been slain by Lin Feng's sword!
