Chapter 344: Sweeping
The instant they collided, the branch snapped, but not before it managed to knock the arrow aside. A powerful shockwave swept through the area, forcing even Lin Feng back several steps.
The man charged forward again. With a flick of his wrist, he loosed another arrow. This one was twice as powerful as the last, a clear sign of his apprehension toward Lin Feng. He was finally using his full strength!
WHOOSH!
The sharp sound of whistling air echoed through the sky as countless black arrows streaked through the mountain forest. They came for Lin Feng like a brilliant meteor shower.
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. He could see the arrows' trajectories, and the corner of his mouth curled into a wicked smirk.
'Hit me? In your dreams!'
Lin Feng weaved through the air as if performing an elegant dance, moving with ease amid the downpour of arrows. As deadly as the black shafts were, they couldn't even graze the hem of his clothes.
Amidst the deluge of arrows, Lin Feng found a pattern. He could easily track each one and knock it out of the air.
This was the advantage of having reached the Peak of Late Stage Innate. Combined with his naturally powerful physique, he could easily seize the upper hand.
BANG!
With a final flash of cold light, he dodged the last of the dozens of black arrows. Lin Feng shot gracefully out of the volley, flying straight toward the man!
THUD!
Lin Feng and the man shot past each other in mid-air. In the next instant, Lin Feng lashed out with a whip kick aimed directly at the man's shoulder.
At the same time, his fist shot toward the man's head. It all happened with blinding speed, making it impossible to defend against.
But the man showed not a shred of fear. Without even blinking, he slowly raised his right arm to block the blow.
CLANG!
His iron-like arm blocked Lin Feng's kick, sending him flying backward. The man's arm hadn't moved an inch, a testament to his incredible strength!
"Hahaha!"
The man roared with laughter, his eyes mocking Lin Feng. Lin Feng's performance had proven troublesome, but that was all. He was confident he could defeat him, because his identity was far from ordinary.
This gave him a solid foundation of confidence. He had fought his way through countless bloody battles to get to where he was today.
But now, to be pushed into a corner by some unknown kid... how could he possibly tolerate it!
"Just who are you?"
Lin Feng's smile faded. He wasn't too worried, though. They were in the middle of a dense forest, after all.
This environment was hardly ideal for an archer, yet the man refused to back down. 'Looks like there's more to this than meets the eye,' Lin Feng thought.
"Kid, you're dead today! I'm going to skin you alive, break your bones, and torture you to death! I'll make you understand the price of provoking someone you shouldn't have! You better be ready!"
The man stared viciously at Lin Feng, his voice chillingly cold. Beyond the killing intent in his eyes, there was a towering hatred, as if he and Lin Feng shared some deep, irreconcilable feud. It was baffling.
Lin Feng's brow furrowed. 'This guy is definitely no pushover,' he thought. 'He must be some kind of desperado.'
But he didn't want to waste any more words. Since he had already thoroughly enraged the man, he might as well just kill him and be done with it.
WHOOSH!
Suddenly, a gust of wind rushed toward him as the man charged over. His Body Technique was incredibly strange, leaving no obvious openings.
It gave Lin Feng an intense sense of danger; even he felt immense pressure.
The chilling wind blew so hard Lin Feng could barely open his eyes. At this distance, dodging was impossible. He could only meet it head-on.
BANG!
Lin Feng and the man exchanged a punch. The terrifying force sent Lin Feng flying, but this was exactly what he had been aiming for!
As he flew backward, he adjusted his posture and pushed his speed to the absolute limit.
'You think that's enough to suppress me? You really overestimate yourself.'
After landing, Lin Feng's figure moved like a ghost, flickering through the dense thicket and using the cover of night to close in on his opponent.
'So fast!'
Seeing this, a look of horror crossed the man's face, his expression shifting unpredictably. That last exchange had made the web of his hand go numb, and his chest felt tight.
"You're unhurt?"
the man asked. He had used eighty percent of his strength that time but still failed to get the expected result.
Doubt filled his heart. An attack like that would have seriously injured even a Martial Artist at his own level.
"Unurt? I haven't even finished my warm-up."
Lin Feng gave a casual smile. The toughness of his body was far beyond what the man could have imagined.
"Hmph! You think I'm some kind of pushover?"
The man roared as a dense, murderous aura erupted from him. His entire presence skyrocketed to its peak.
Lin Feng looked at the man, who now seemed like a God of Slaughter, and grew wary. 'This man is no ordinary foe,' he thought. 'If I underestimate him, the consequences will be dire.'
BANG!
The man's figure vanished. A moment later, a violent roar echoed from a distance. Then, deep in the forest, two figures met in a blur. After a flurry of fists and palms, they both retreated.
As he continued to engage the man, Lin Feng leaped toward a distant, ancient pine. He didn't dare get overconfident; if this kept up, his energy would eventually be depleted.
The violent sounds of impact echoed ceaselessly through the forest. Towering ancient trees snapped in half, sending countless splinters and clouds of dust flying through the air.
The man pursued Lin Feng like a wild beast, growing more and more excited with the chase.
"Stay down!"
Finally, the man landed another palm strike on Lin Feng's chest, sending his body plummeting toward the ground once more.
But just then, a sharp glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. In that split second, he had found an opening in the man's attack.
The instant he was sent flying, he charged a punch and unleashed it, forcing his opponent back and slowing the man's offensive rhythm considerably.
The man realized what was happening and reacted instantly, but before he could make a move, the shockwave from the punch struck him, sending him staggering backward.
Seizing the opening created by the man's retreat, Lin Feng kicked off the ground and shot forward like a cannonball. He had seen his enemy's weakness.
