Chapter 317: Tai Chi
"Hmph! Don't think for a second I'm afraid of you. I'm going to slaughter you today!"
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Wang Yi roared in fury.
His strength was comparable to Lin Feng's, perhaps even slightly superior in some respects, but Lin Feng's combat instincts were simply terrifying—on a completely monstrous level.
If that hadn't been the case, he wouldn't have been forced to resort to a despicable tactic like using poison!
"You're courting death!"
With a furious shout, Wang Yi's figure suddenly accelerated. He shot forward more than ten meters in an instant, appearing before Lin Feng. His body twisted, and he unleashed a vicious whip kick, sweeping it horizontally toward Lin Feng.
"Heh heh! You little punk, this old man will send you to your grave today!"
A cold glint flashed in Wang Yi's eyes. As long as a monster like Lin Feng was alive, he would never be able to eat or sleep in peace.
Since they were already enemies, he had no intention of holding back. He had to seize this opportunity to kill Lin Feng in one fell swoop and eliminate this threat for good.
Faced with the sharp, whistling attack, Lin Feng didn't dodge. His figure abruptly vanished from the spot, causing Wang Yi's attack to hit nothing but air.
The next moment, he appeared behind Wang Yi.
"You think this old man is a fool? That you can dodge my attack just like that?!"
Wang Yi cursed, spinning around to attack again, but his strike missed once more.
WHOOSH!
Lin Feng's figure appeared by Wang Yi's side like a phantom. A hand chop, slicing through the air with a whistle, aimed straight for his neck.
His movement was as fast as lightning, giving Wang Yi no time to guard his back, but the move was still within his expectations.
Wang Yi immediately retracted his fist to block behind him as his body lunged forward, pouncing toward Lin Feng like a cheetah.
'This guy's reactions are really fast!'
Lin Feng sighed inwardly. Wang Yi's speed was much greater than before.
He clenched his fists, the veins on his hands faintly bulging. Instead of clashing with Wang Yi head-on, he lifted his left leg and kicked sharply at him, while his right foot followed up with a fierce kick to his ribs.
BANG!
A dull thud echoed through the training room as the two figures separated. Lin Feng staggered back five or six steps before stopping. His whole body ached, and a sweet taste rose in his throat. He knew he was injured.
But Lin Feng's gaze was filled with fervor. He licked his dry lips; he loved the ultimate thrill that came from a life-or-death battle!
Wang Yi was also forced back. Although Lin Feng's strength was far beyond ordinary, his cultivation level was still a limiting factor.
According to the intelligence he'd gathered, this kid had only just broken through to the Late Stage of Innate, and his realm wasn't yet consolidated. Therefore, Lin Feng couldn't fully unleash his true advantages.
"I don't believe your physical body is this tough!"
Wang Yi let out a low growl. He flexed his arms, his muscles bulging explosively. He spread his hands and bent his fingers again like eagle talons. He lunged at Lin Feng, determined to crush him with absolute power!
Not to be outdone, Lin Feng's body jolted as he stepped forward, swinging his own fist to meet Wang Yi's.
BANG!
The two fists collided, and a massive impact sound echoed throughout the training room.
STOMP, STOMP, STOMP!
Both of them were forced back three consecutive steps, but Lin Feng's feet had already cracked the concrete floor, sinking into the ground beneath!
A look of astonishment appeared on Wang Yi's face. His previous whip kick had been infused with Inner Strength, yet he never expected Lin Feng to block it with pure physical power alone.
Lin Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a faint smile gracing his lips.
Although Wang Yi's last move was domineering, Lin Feng was perfectly capable of withstanding it with just his physical body!
'Looks like this isn't working. I'll have to use my ultimate technique, or I might really fall here today.'
The corners of Lin Feng's mouth curved up. He gently exhaled a breath of stale air and slowly raised his hands, assuming a strange-looking opening stance.
"Hm?"
Wang Yi's pupils constricted. The stance seemed unremarkable, but he could feel a dense aura of danger emanating from Lin Feng!
"Die!"
Wang Yi roared. His arm muscles swelled rapidly, and he stomped a foot on the ground, launching himself toward Lin Feng like a cannonball. This time, he used his full strength, vowing to blast Lin Feng to smithereens on the spot.
"Heh."
A faint smile played on Lin Feng's lips. His hands moved with deceptive slowness, but they rose with extreme precision before suddenly pushing forward.
This time, he finally stopped holding back and used his simplest, yet most proficient technique: the Eight Trigrams Palm!
Wang Yi's pupils shrank violently. He sensed a fatal crisis from Lin Feng's hands.
But he had no other choice than to meet it head-on. He gritted his teeth and roared, the veins on his arms bulging like two coiled flood dragons!
Midway through his charge, Wang Yi's body twisted violently. His arms shot out like a sea serpent emerging from the ocean, striking directly at Lin Feng's shoulders!
At this moment, Wang Yi put forth all his strength. This punch was powerful enough to shatter a steel plate dozens of millimeters thick!
His fist hammered mercilessly toward Lin Feng with unstoppable force!
A savage sneer appeared on Wang Yi's lips. "Hahaha… Let's see you block this!"
Lin Feng's expression grew solemn, but he showed no panic. He simply extended his hands, which snaked toward Wang Yi's fists like gliding serpents.
The core principle of Tai Chi Fist is using softness to overcome hardness!
Under Wang Yi's ferocious assault, Lin Feng remained unhurried and composed, neutralizing every one of Wang Yi's attacks. All the while, his body stayed just outside the range of Wang Yi's offensive!
"Dammit! How are you possibly blocking my attacks?!"
The more Wang Yi fought, the more frustrated he became. Lin Feng's cultivation was clearly inferior to his, so logically, he should have the upper hand!
But the reality was the complete opposite. Not only could he do nothing to Lin Feng, he was actually being contained by Tai Chi Fist—a technique widely known in the Mortal Realm and used by most people merely for exercise!
"If this is the extent of your strength, then you can go die."
Lin Feng watched Wang Yi mockingly, his tone filled with playful contempt.
"In your dreams! I'll cripple you today, no matter what!"
Wang Yi bellowed. His arms suddenly tensed into the shape of a bow as he shifted his stance and launched a fierce attack. He threw an elbow strike at Lin Feng's head, while his other arm, brimming with power, smashed down toward Lin Feng's abdomen.
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. He clapped his hands together, striking Wang Yi's wrists. Following the momentum, he pulled, yanking Wang Yi's right arm and slamming it viciously into the ground.
THUD!
The ground trembled violently. Lin Feng had used skillful force to redirect Wang Yi's attack straight into the floor. The immense power of the blow even blasted visible cracks into the concrete!
Wang Yi cried out in pain, but he absolutely refused to admit defeat. Gritting his teeth, he stood up and charged at Lin Feng again.
SLAM!
Once again, Lin Feng grabbed his wrist and yanked him backward.
Wang Yi's body was instantly lifted off the ground. Lin Feng's other hand followed, pressing forward to imprint a palm on Wang Yi's chest!
