Chapter 343: Formidable
'This damn kid, how is he so slippery!'
Watching Lin Feng constantly dodge and weave across the field, the man grew furious.
His archery was indeed formidable, but his supply of arrows was limited. He had already fired all of them without so much as scratching Lin Feng.
He truly hadn't expected Lin Feng's strength to be this formidable. To think that his arrows, which had instantly killed even Late Stage of Innate Ancient Martial Artists, were completely useless against this Lin Feng?
SWOOSH!
Another arrow shot out, but Lin Feng dodged it with ease. At that moment, Lin Feng felt an oppressive sense of danger.
The reason was simple: his opponent's attacks were incredibly fast, and their timing was extremely precise!
It was safe to say that if Lin Feng made a single misstep, three arrows would instantly pierce his vitals, leaving him with no chance of survival!
'What a pain.'
Lin Feng continuously dodged the arrows flying at him. He could naturally tell that this man's strength was also at the Peak of Late Stage Innate, but his attack speed was truly astonishing.
BANG!
Lin Feng didn't dare to be careless. He couldn't hold anything back, because the man's archery was too deadly. A moment's inattention would mean certain doom!
While dodging, Lin Feng used the complex terrain of the dense forest to rapidly close in on his opponent.
Although his opponent's close-combat skills were also quite good, getting near him would at least give Lin Feng a chance to fight back. At the very least, it was much better than being kited by him.
As time went on, Lin Feng gradually got a feel for the rhythm. He was no longer as passive as before. Finding the right moment, he lunged forward and threw a sudden punch at his opponent's throat.
"Hmph, do you really think I'm helpless once you get close?"
"I knocked you back before, and I can do it again!"
Seeing Lin Feng's iron fist approach, the man let out a great shout. As he retreated rapidly, he once again nocked an arrow, aimed for the space between Lin Feng's eyebrows, and prepared to unleash another fatal blow!
But this time, he clearly felt something was different. Lin Feng's movements were noticeably more agile.
Although Lin Feng wasn't as fast as him, his movements couldn't be ignored. Moreover, every one of Lin Feng's moves was off by a hair's breadth, as if he had already predicted the archer's trajectory.
This made the man's brow furrow deeper and deeper, because he knew it would be difficult to gain an advantage now.
Just then, however, Lin Feng seized an opening. His entire body lunged forward as he swept his right leg out, kicking directly at his opponent's neck!
The power of this kick was astounding. The immense pressure it generated was staggering, and the surrounding trees bent and fell in its wake. The kick was incredibly fast, and the man's pupils contracted.
BAM!
Two legs collided heavily, instantly unleashing a powerful shockwave that sent dead branches and fallen leaves flying.
The man was forced back several meters. He looked at Lin Feng with a grave expression. He had originally thought Lin Feng was just some bold rookie from the Mortal Realm and that he could easily slaughter him with his vast combat experience.
But now, it seemed things weren't that simple.
"Kid, I admit it, I underestimated you. We really did look down on you!"
The man said, his face very serious. His gaze toward Lin Feng had become cautious.
"Cut the crap. If you're here to kill me, then show me your real strength!"
Lin Feng said indifferently. He knew the man was trying to taunt him. He wanted to use reverse psychology to make Lin Feng attack first, because he didn't want to drag this out any longer either!
"Fine! Since you're in such a hurry to die, I'll oblige you!"
The man shouted coldly. With a sudden shake of his arms, his sleeves burst open, revealing a pair of powerful biceps. The muscle definition on his body was clearly visible.
CRACK!
He gripped a pitch-black long arrow between two fingers and snapped off the nock at the end of the shaft. He then threw it. The dark projectile flew like an arrow loosed from a bow, letting out a piercing whistle as it shot toward Lin Feng.
The power of such a projectile was absolutely terrifying. Lin Feng could tell that this long arrow was different from the previous ones!
A blood-red light flickered on its arrowhead, looking exceptionally strange and inspiring dread.
Faced with this ferocious long arrow, Lin Feng didn't dodge. Instead, he took a step forward and charged directly toward the pitch-black projectile.
SWISH!
The pitch-black long arrow, carrying immense power, carved an arc through the air as it shot toward Lin Feng's chest.
TING!
But at that very moment, Lin Feng raised his right hand and caught the incoming arrow between his index and middle fingers. The arrow's momentum was neutralized, but its dark fletching continued to vibrate and hum!
Lin Feng looked at the arrowhead and shook his head slightly. Though the arrow was sharp and incredibly fast, in his hands it was like a child's toy, posing no threat whatsoever.
SWOOSH!
But just as Lin Feng shook his head, the arrow suddenly changed direction and shot toward him again! This time, it truly caught Lin Feng off guard.
SLAP!
Lin Feng hurriedly reached out and slapped the black long arrow to the ground. The angle of the attack was treacherous. If he had actually been hit, he would have been in deep trouble. He had to counter-attack as quickly as possible.
But just as his palm struck the pitch-black arrow, he immediately felt a violent gust of wind from behind.
It all happened in a flash. By the time Lin Feng noticed, the man was already behind him!
His bowstring was drawn taut, poised to fire a fatal short arrow at a moment's notice!
SWOOSH!
A streak of black light shot out, heading straight for the center of Lin Feng's back. This time, the man used all his strength.
He was determined to kill Lin Feng with this arrow. Lin Feng didn't dare be careless either; after all, this man's power was immense.
Lin Feng's body swayed abruptly, and he instantly dodged the fierce arrow. But a smile crept onto the man's lips. He had been deliberately luring his enemy in!
Lin Feng was stunned. The man didn't take the opportunity to press his attack. His behavior was as cunning as a fox, but Lin Feng had no time to dwell on it.
He leaped into the air and launched a flying kick, leaving a trail of afterimages as he aimed viciously for the man's waist. The man, however, simply turned his body slightly to dodge the blow.
And he wasn't idle either. He immediately loosed an arrow, sending it straight for Lin Feng's head!
Not to be outdone, Lin Feng casually snapped off a tree branch and, using a clever angle and technique, swung it directly at the incoming short arrow!
