Chapter 295: Retreat
Lin Feng used the force of her retreat to float back several meters like a phantom, putting some distance between himself and the girl.
His gaze was dark and somber. 'This girl is certainly no pushover.' But Lin Feng wasn't panicked. Instead, the fight only fueled his courage. He wanted to test just how far his strength, now at the Late Stage of Innate, could take him.
And the girl's strength was indeed formidable, which only made Lin Feng grow more excited.
SWISH!
The two were locked in combat once more, the fight growing ever fiercer. This time, the girl's attacks were incredibly fast, the glint of her blade accompanied by an ear-piercing whistle.
BANG!
Lin Feng and the girl clashed again. He then bent slightly, thrusting his hips forward to deliver an elbow strike straight at her throat.
SWOOSH!
With a flicker of movement, the girl easily dodged his attack.
The move made Lin Feng's eyes light up. 'I didn't expect her to have such an agile Body Technique.'
BAM!
The two remained locked in a chaotic struggle. Lin Feng's movements were nimble and unpredictable, his attacks cunning and unorthodox.
The girl's strength was immense. Despite being a woman, she was in no way inferior to Lin Feng. Moreover, her attacks were clean and decisive, without a single wasted motion.
WHOOSH!
Finally, seizing a golden opportunity, the girl leaped and swept her blade at Lin Feng. The attack was as fast as a meteor, reaching him in the blink of an eye.
SWISH!
Lin Feng dodged with a quick sidestep, the blade grazing past his shoulder and tearing his clothes.
Seizing the opening, Lin Feng grabbed the girl's blade-wielding wrist in a reverse grip and yanked it forward.
"Aah—"
The girl cried out in alarm. She had never expected Lin Feng to do something like this. Caught completely off guard, she was pulled by the arm and stumbled backward.
CRACK!
Lin Feng's other hand shot out, grabbing her arm. Then, with a sudden burst of force, he dislocated it!
The girl was overcome with excruciating pain, and beads of sweat broke out on her cheeks.
SLAP!
And before she could react, Lin Feng landed a heavy slap across her fair, smooth cheek.
The unexpected slap stunned the girl. Then, Lin Feng's ice-cold voice sounded in her ear, "Don't provoke me. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to kill you!"
"Dream on!"
A blow like that would have dazed any ordinary person, but the girl didn't hesitate for a moment. Pushing off one foot, she immediately retreated.
After retreating several meters, the girl stood her ground. She grabbed her dislocated limb with her good hand and applied a sudden burst of force!
With a sickening crunch that would set one's teeth on edge, she brutally popped her own arm back into its socket!
HISS!
The process was gruesome and brutal, yet when her arm was reset, her expression remained unchanged, as if the limb didn't even belong to her.
It was as if this wasn't the first time she had reset a dislocated limb.
The scene left Lin Feng secretly astounded. 'This girl is clearly no ordinary person. Anyone with a weaker will would have fainted from that pain!'
But while the girl's face was calm, a deep rage erupted from her eyes. 'As the esteemed Hidden Sect Young Master, when have I ever suffered such a humiliation?'
"You have truly angered me!"
The girl said to Lin Feng, her tone as cold as ice. Then, a wicked smile touched her lips.
"I've decided to use my full strength now. I hope you can handle it!"
As her voice fell, she clenched her fists, and two strangely shaped Short Blades appeared in her hands.
The Short Blades had two distinct blood grooves, giving them a ferocious and terrifying appearance.
SWISH!
At that moment, the girl charged at Lin Feng, the Short Blades in her hands emitting a bone-chilling glint as she aimed straight for his throat.
Lin Feng's pupils contracted. 'This girl is no joke. To be able to wield Short Blades with such skill...'
He also had a feeling that her weapons were somewhat similar to his own.
In a flash, a sharp glint erupted in Lin Feng's eyes as he, too, swung out with the short knife in his hand.
CLANG!
The blades collided with a sharp ring. The girl put force into her arm, and Lin Feng's grip loosened, sending his short knife flying far into the distance.
Lin Feng snorted, drew the short sword tucked at his waist, and swung it fiercely at the girl.
The girl's expression remained as cold as ever as she instantly met his attack with her Short Blades.
CLANG!
In that instant, they collided, erupting in the terrifying sound of clashing steel.
They both retreated, but in the next second, a terrifying glint shot from Lin Feng's eyes. Inner Strength surged through his body as he took a step forward, instantly closing the distance to the girl and throwing a heavy punch.
Not to be outdone, the girl kicked at Lin Feng. The two became a blur of motion, their weapons clashing ceaselessly, sending sparks flying.
Both resorted to the most fundamental attacks—Fist Techniques, kicks, and claw-like strikes—engaging in brutal, close-quarters combat.
The girl's martial skill was superb. Her moves were fierce, and a single punch carried the overwhelming force of a toppling mountain!
Lin Feng's attacks were just as sharp. His fists and palms moved with the force of a tidal wave, his aura astonishing. His kicks were like roaring gales, oppressive in their power!
Both ruthlessly attacked each other's vital points. For a moment, the battlefield was filled with surges of power as they fought with spectacular intensity.
All of this seemed complex, but it all happened in the blink of an eye!
But it was clear the girl was still stronger. After all, the power of a cultivator at the Peak of Late Stage Innate was no joke.
In the secular world, an Ancient Martial Artist of this caliber would be considered at the absolute apex!
Lin Feng, on the other hand, had only just entered the Late Stage of Innate, so he was looking a bit battered under the girl's assault.
Nevertheless, Lin Feng grew more and more excited as the fight went on. He found that although the girl's techniques were fierce, he was managing to block every single one. It was dangerous, but he was holding on!
CLANG!
After several more intense rounds, the girl suddenly thrust one of her Short Blades at Lin Feng's chest.
Seeing this, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed.
The girl was so fast he didn't even have time to react. He could only raise his sword to block on pure instinct!
PFFT!
The Short Blade pierced clean through his arm, drawing blood. The force of the blow sent Lin Feng flying backward.
Having landed a successful blow, a mocking look appeared in the girl's beautiful eyes. "Is that all you've got?" she said coolly. "Then you can just obediently accept your death!"
WHOOSH!
She transformed into a red streak of lightning and charged at Lin Feng again, raising her right foot to kick straight at his abdomen!
