Chapter 230: Outbreak
"Hiding in the shadows, are you afraid to show your face?"
Lin Feng snorted coldly at the figure.
"Hmph. Your senses are sharp, I'll give you that!"
The next moment, the black-clad figure shot out, throwing a punch that erupted with terrifying power.
The attack came in an instant, as fast as a bolt of lightning.
Lin Feng's expression darkened.
'The power of this punch is at the Mid Stage of Innate. Looks like there are quite a few experts here today.'
SWOOSH!
However, Lin Feng didn't dodge. He simply threw a punch of his own, which also erupted with terrifying force.
In an instant, the two figures clashed.
CRUNCH!
A dull, tearing sound rang out as the hidden Mid-Stage Innate Martial Artist stumbled back three steps before steadying himself.
Lin Feng, however, remained standing perfectly still.
"Who are you?"
Lin Feng glared at the man before him and demanded coldly, his eyes filled with an icy glint.
"Heh, you can take a palm strike from me? Not bad. But I'm taking the Purple Reishi today, so you'd best be smart and hand it over."
The man in black said coldly, his eyes scanning Lin Feng from head to toe, as if trying to find where he had hidden the Purple Reishi.
"Why should I give you the Purple Reishi? And who are you?"
Lin Feng said coldly.
"You..."
The man in black's eyes turned bone-chilling as he stared at Lin Feng.
"Kid, do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have a little power and money?"
"You're all alone, so you can't be from any Ancient Martial Family. You're just some worldly kid who got shit-lucky."
"You should know, this world is far more dangerous and complex than you can imagine."
"Hand over the Purple Reishi, and I might let you walk away. If other Martial Artists show up, you won't leave here alive."
The man in black snapped at Lin Feng, his voice bone-chillingly cold.
A sharp aura pulsed around him.
"You talk too much."
With an icy expression, Lin Feng looked at the man in black and struck out with his palm.
The man's pupils contracted. He clearly hadn't expected Lin Feng's attack to be so fast and fierce.
He immediately raised a hand to block.
A loud bang rang out.
A sound like muffled thunder exploded.
Both Lin Feng and the man in black were thrown backward.
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!
The man in black stomped on the hardwood floor, each step leaving a deep imprint.
He only managed to stop after dozens of such steps, cracking the floorboards with each one.
"Mm, Mid Stage of the Innate Realm, just as I thought. My judgment was correct. Otherwise, there's no way you could possess such immense physical power."
The man in black stared intently at Lin Feng.
"Oh? So you know a thing or two about me,"
Lin Feng said, looking at the man with great interest.
"My name is Liu Hao."
The man in black said arrogantly.
Lin Feng spoke the name aloud.
"Liu Hao? Never heard of you,"
Lin Feng said, shaking his head slightly.
"I suggest you hand it over now. Otherwise, I'll show you what the Liu Family is capable of."
Liu Hao said, his eyes locked on Lin Feng.
"I'd love to see what the Liu Family is capable of!"
Lin Feng looked calmly at Liu Hao, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Courting death!"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Liu Hao's gaze hardened. His expression turned ferocious, and in the next instant, he shot forward.
"Die!"
Liu Hao roared as he unleashed a profound palm technique. Flying Palm Seals stirred up a violent gust of air that bore down on Lin Feng, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.
"Five Peaks Mountain and River Palm!"
Liu Hao roared.
He then thrust out both hands, and a sky full of Palm Seals materialized in the air. Like a stampeding army of thousands, they bore down on Lin Feng.
BOOM!
The overwhelming wave of Palm Seals rained down on Lin Feng, carrying with it the power to obliterate everything.
Although Liu Hao was only at the Mid Stage of Innate, he had a wealth of combat experience.
He unleashed one powerful martial technique after another, especially his Five Peaks Mountain and River Palm, which was nothing short of terrifying.
An ordinary Mid-Stage Innate Martial Artist wouldn't last more than a few exchanges against him before being utterly destroyed.
At this moment, Liu Hao was certain Lin Feng was a dead man. After all, the power of his Five Peaks Mountain and River Palm was undeniable.
'Even a Martial Artist at the Peak of Mid-Stage Innate would surely be defeated, to say nothing of Lin Feng, who's merely in the Mid Stage of Innate.'
"Die!"
Liu Hao uttered a cold, merciless cry as a monstrous killing intent erupted from his body.
"With just this?"
Facing the sky full of Palm Seals, Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged. Instead, a cold, mocking sneer appeared on his face.
"Arrogant!"
"Today, you must die."
Liu Hao stared at Lin Feng, his expression icy and murder boiling in his eyes.
The next moment, his gaze sharpened. True Qi surged through his hands as he drove the sky full of Palm Seals to crush Lin Feng with full force.
Seeing this, Lin Feng's gaze sharpened instantly.
BOOM!
The next moment, he slowly extended his right hand. Inner Strength, as vast as a roiling sea, surged from his body and into his arm.
Instantly, the veins on his right hand bulged, pulsing with immense power.
"Break!"
With a low roar, Lin Feng punched out, meeting the sky full of Palm Seals head-on.
CRACK!
A crisp shattering sound suddenly rang out.
Then, in a shocking sight, the entire sky of Palm Seals was shattered by a single punch from Lin Feng's right hand.
The Palm Seals didn't even get close to Lin Feng.
"*Gasp*... How is that possible!"
Liu Hao's pupils contracted violently, an expression of utter shock on his face.
'Impossible!'
'Absolutely impossible! How could a Mid-Stage Innate Martial Artist shatter my technique so easily!'
Liu Hao's face was a mask of disbelief. He was shocked to his core, completely unable to process what he had just seen.
"Hmph!"
"And you thought you were so impressive?"
Lin Feng snorted, a look of contempt flashing in his eyes. "Today," he said coolly, "I'll make you understand the gap between us."
"Weren't you just saying you were going to show me a fate worse than death?"
Lin Feng said, looking at Liu Hao with a wicked smile.
Hearing this, Liu Hao's expression changed instantly.
"You damn kid! You tricked me!"
Liu Hao instantly realized that Lin Feng's words had been a deliberate provocation.
It had caused him to lose control, giving Lin Feng the opening to strike.
As he pieced it all together, Liu Hao's face flushed red. He looked utterly embarrassed, his heart burning with resentment.
"You think you're clever? In my eyes, you're nothing but a buffoon."
"In that case, I'll send you on your way."
