Chapter 284: Indifference
"Heh."
Hearing Su Peng's words, a cold smile touched the corners of Lin Feng's mouth. He looked at him impassively and said, "You're dreaming. If you want me to back down, you'll have to die first."
With that, Lin Feng stomped his foot, his entire body blurring into an illusory shadow as he lunged at Su Peng in an instant.
"You're courting death!"
Su Peng's eyes turned icy. With a furious roar, he moved like the wind, charging toward Lin Feng as well.
WHOOSH!
As one charged and the other moved to engage, they covered over ten meters in the blink of an eye. Their speed was simply staggering.
Although Su Peng's Cultivation Technique focused on physical strength, he was, after all, an expert in the Innate Realm, so his speed was also terrifying. With a mere flicker, he appeared behind Lin Feng in a heartbeat.
SMACK!
The attack landed on Lin Feng's back, sending a sharp pain through his shoulder that made him gasp. However, his movements didn't slow in the slightest. He spun around abruptly, swinging his left arm wide as he slammed his right elbow viciously into Su Peng's chest.
THUD!
Blood trickled from the corner of Su Peng's mouth as he was sent flying backward.
A cold glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He stomped his right foot on the ground and shot toward Su Peng like a cheetah. With a raise of his right arm, a long whip appeared in his hand.
Su Peng had already regained his footing. Seeing Lin Feng attack again, a wicked smile crossed his lips. He formed his right hand into a claw and swiped at Lin Feng.
SWOOSH!
Lin Feng cracked the long whip, its tip wrapping around Su Peng's outstretched arm. Lin Feng immediately yanked hard on the handle.
He was lifted into the air and executed an agile flip. Then, twisting his body in mid-air, he raised his right leg high over his head and brought it chopping down viciously toward Su Peng's skull!
'Damn it, this kid reacts fast!'
Su Peng cursed inwardly, his eyes glued to Lin Feng's descending right foot. He twisted to the side, dodging the fatal blow.
BANG!
A dull thud rang out as Lin Feng's right foot sank directly into the ground.
Su Peng's pupils contracted. He hastily scrambled backward.
BOOM!
Lin Feng's right leg whipped across the ground, sending dust and stone debris flying everywhere. The entire area trembled for a few moments.
'That was close. He almost got me with a sneak attack.'
Su Peng wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, his expression incredibly grim.
Lin Feng's last attack had been too sudden, leaving him no time to dodge. It was only thanks to his agile Body Technique that he was able to react at the critical moment and escape that fate.
Otherwise, even if he hadn't been severely injured by Lin Feng, that kick would have likely taken him out of the fight temporarily.
"Hmph, just petty tricks. Today, I'll teach you a lesson, you ignorant Ancient Martial Artist, and we'll see if you still dare to be so arrogant afterward!"
Su Peng sneered as he spoke, stretching his limbs before walking leisurely toward Lin Feng.
Lin Feng retorted with a cold smile, "Someone like you wants to make me submit? You're truly naive!"
"Let me tell you something. Never mind you—even if your grandfather were here, he wouldn't be qualified to have me join his faction. If you hadn't dared to kidnap my wife, I wouldn't have even bothered with you."
Lin Feng's tone was calm, but every word he spoke was like a sharp knife stabbing into Su Peng's heart.
"Kid, since you don't know what's good for you, I'll cripple you today. That'll stop you from being so arrogant in front of me in the future."
Su Peng's face turned extremely dark. Ever since he had made a name for himself, no one had ever dared to be so insolent in his presence, let alone humiliate him as Lin Feng had. He decided he would utterly cripple him!
He took a step forward, clenching his right hand into a fist. A powerful wave of air instantly radiated outward.
WHOOSH!
Immediately after, his right fist shot toward Lin Feng, carrying the might of a thunderbolt and a fierce wind as it smashed toward Lin Feng's face.
"Bring it on. I'd like to see what you've got."
Seeing Su Peng's punch coming, a slight smile appeared on Lin Feng's lips. His footwork suddenly accelerated, and his entire body dissolved into a wisp of green smoke, vanishing from the spot.
'Hm? Such speed. What kind of body-lightening Secret Technique is this? I've never heard of it before.'
Su Peng was momentarily stunned, then he snorted coldly.
Lin Feng was so fast that he couldn't even track his movements.
'This kid has quite a few treasures on him!'
'After I cripple him, I'll have to wait a bit before killing him. At the very least, I have to get my hands on this Lightweight Body Technique!'
A flash of intense greed crossed his eyes. Su Peng's gaze burned as he watched Lin Feng; it was this incredible speed that truly ignited the fire of his desire.
Su Peng was fast, but Lin Feng was not the least bit slower. He stomped his foot hard on the ground, his body suddenly launching into the air and shooting forward like a sharp sword.
Su Peng's eyelid twitched. He had just registered the movement when he felt Lin Feng's attack right in front of him.
BANG!
Not daring to be careless, Su Peng met Lin Feng's attack with a punch of his own.
A muffled thud echoed as both men were sent flying backward from the impact.
Lin Feng's body flew several meters through the air before he finally managed to land. He pushed off with his feet and shot forward once more.
Not to be outdone, Su Peng stomped hard on the ground, using the force to launch himself up and charge at Lin Feng again.
BANG!
In just a few short seconds, Lin Feng and Su Peng had exchanged more than ten blows.
This was a battle between two Innate-level experts. Every move was perilous, and powerful waves of Qi Force swept through the area, kicking up clouds of dust.
The movements of Su Peng and Lin Feng grew increasingly ferocious. It was clear that the slightest mistake would result in severe injury on the spot!
After all, when these two attacked with their full strength, the force behind each punch was comparable to the impact of a car traveling over 110 miles per hour!
BANG!
The two clashed again, and both were forced back several steps. A small cut had split open the web of Su Peng's right hand.
HISS!
Su Peng took a sharp breath. He looked down at his right hand, his expression filled with gravity.
Crimson blood flowed from the web of his right hand. He was a distinguished Late-Stage Innate Martial Artist, yet he had actually been injured in a head-on clash with a Mid-Stage Innate Martial Artist. He found it simply unbelievable.
"It seems I've underestimated you. To think I would actually get injured."
A sharp light burst from Su Peng's eyes. Lin Feng was putting immense pressure on him, forcing him to take this fight seriously.
A mocking smile touched Lin Feng's lips. His eyes were filled with contempt; he truly didn't think much of a mere Late Innate Stage Martial Artist like Su Peng!
If he weren't forced to re-cultivate due to the unique nature of a Heaven-defying Technique like the Supreme Profound Medical Scripture…
…otherwise, he could have killed a Late-Stage Innate Martial Artist like Su Peng with a single slap!
Even though Su Peng was a Late-Stage Innate Martial Artist, Lin Feng was still confident he could defeat him.
