Chapter 342: Longbow?
How could he possibly tolerate this?
"Heh heh… Lin Feng, today I'll be sending you to your grave!"
The bowman saw the killing intent in Lin Feng's eyes and wasted no more time on words. He drew his longbow into a full moon once more and released. Three iron arrows shot from the bow, this time aimed at Lin Feng's throat and Dantian!
Leaving several afterimages in the air, the three iron arrows were upon Lin Feng in an instant!
At that moment, Lin Feng's expression hardened. The True Qi in his body surged wildly as he moved like a bolt of lightning, his figure a blur as he dodged the three iron arrows!
But his brow furrowed deeper. He could clearly feel that each arrow the man fired was imbued with an extremely pure Inner Strength, giving the otherwise ordinary shafts a power comparable to bullets!
If his cultivation hadn't already advanced to the Peak of Late-stage Innate Realm, he would have been struck and critically injured long ago!
The archer, however, continued his attack at a steady, unhurried pace. It was as if he had anticipated Lin Feng's every reaction. The moment Lin Feng dodged one volley, the man would immediately shift his angle and fire another three arrows.
'This is getting tricky!'
Lin Feng cursed inwardly. This couldn't go on. He didn't have time to play games with this person; at this rate, he'd burn through his energy far too quickly.
Before long, he'd likely be exhausted. He had to find a way to deal with this nuisance.
Lin Feng's gaze gradually locked onto the man opposite him. He could see it clearly now—this archer was here specifically for him.
A wave of frustration washed over him. He had just broken through to the Peak of Late Stage Innate, only to immediately run into such a bizarre opponent. This was completely unexpected.
While the situation was slightly surprising, Lin Feng didn't dwell on it. After all, encountering such a powerful foe was the perfect opportunity to test the limits of his current strength!
SWISH!
Lin Feng executed a profound and unpredictable footwork technique. In a flash, he appeared before the man like a ghost.
When the man saw Lin Feng appear, his eyes widened in shock. He knew Lin Feng was strong, but he never expected him to be so fast.
"You're good at range. Let's see how you handle close quarters!"
His figure a flash of lightning, Lin Feng closed the distance in the blink of an eye, unleashing a vicious barrage of fists and palms down on the man!
"Hmph, you underestimate me!"
The man roared in fury, refusing to show weakness. He raised his greatbow to meet the attack head-on!
BANG!
Two terrifying waves of Inner Strength, like a tidal wave, instantly collided in mid-air, erupting with a thunderous crack!
'The material of that greatbow is quite unusual.'
After the exchange, Lin Feng used the recoil to retreat two steps. He looked at the greatbow in the man's hands, a flicker of interest in his eyes.
His ferocious strike had only managed to send the man flying back a few meters. Aside from splitting the webbing of his hand and drawing blood, it had caused no real damage!
On the other side, the young archer's face was as dark as storm clouds as he stared at Lin Feng. He, too, hadn't expected this ordinary-looking youth to be so difficult to handle!
RUSTLE!
A single leaf drifted down through the air. The moment it touched the ground, it disintegrated into dust, a testament to the terrifying power of their earlier clash!
"Who are you? What grudge do you have against me? Why are you so determined to kill me?"
Lin Feng's voice was grave as he questioned the grim-faced man. If someone wanted him dead, he had to find out why. It would be terrible to have an unknown enemy constantly plotting against him in the future.
"You're not worthy of knowing. Now die!"
The man snorted coldly, the Inner Strength in his body churning violently. Before Lin Feng could even see his movements clearly, five arrows had been loosed.
They shot toward five of Lin Feng's vital points: his chest, abdomen, shoulders, head, and heart!
"Pathetic tricks! Break!"
Lin Feng sneered. The man's martial arts cultivation was indeed superb, but Lin Feng's physical strength was even more formidable. He had nothing to fear!
With a simple sway of his body, Lin Feng easily dodged the attack. He then shot forward and threw a punch right at the man's heart!
His speed was incredible, and the angle of his attack was vicious and cunning. The man's expression changed at the sight. But he was a Martial Artist, after all, with lightning-fast reflexes. He immediately crossed his arms to protect his chest!
THUD!
With a muffled thud, the man was sent flying by Lin Feng's blow, but he still managed to land steadily on his feet!
SWOOSH!
The man performed a kip-up to get back to his feet, his face dark as he stared at Lin Feng!
"Kid, I didn't think you'd be hiding your strength. It seems I really have underestimated you!"
The man's voice was ice-cold, and his eyes were filled with wariness as he looked at Lin Feng. The intelligence he'd received hadn't indicated Lin Feng was this powerful at all.
"I suggest you give up. You're no match for me."
Lin Feng said lightly. He wouldn't be polite to someone trying to kill him. If the man wanted him dead, he would return the favor.
Hearing this, the corner of the man's mouth twitched. Lin Feng's words were dismissive, but he had to admit it: the power Lin Feng was displaying was definitely not something a kid in the Late-stage Innate Realm could achieve!
"Don't get arrogant, kid! I will kill you today!"
The man's eyes were vicious as he stared at Lin Feng, his earlier arrogance completely gone. He now realized that Lin Feng's strength had reached the Late Stage of Innate—at the very least, he was at the Peak of Late Stage Innate!
WHOOSH!
The man nocked another arrow and fired. This arrow was even faster than the last, clearly infused with more power. It tore through the air with a sharp whistle, aimed straight for the space between Lin Feng's eyebrows!
BANG!
But once again, Lin Feng dodged it with ease. The arrow flew past him and pierced straight through an ancient tree as thick as a bowl, a clear sign of the man's extraordinarily dense Inner Strength.
A hint of excitement sparked within Lin Feng. This guy's power really was something else!
But Lin Feng felt not a shred of fear. In fact, fighting in this forest was like being a fish in water for him, which was why he dared to provoke the man.
The man's archery was exquisite, but it posed no real threat. Lin Feng's Body Technique was simply too ghostly. The sharp arrows flew constantly past him, but he always managed to evade them artfully, causing the man's successive shots to miss their mark every time.
