The Capital's Dragon Doctor

If he hadn't been worried about some strange trick up Lin Feng's sleeve, forcing him to shift to defense, he would have put his full power behind that punch.

BAM!

Lin Feng calmly kicked out, his toe tapping the ground. He used the momentum to flash to the side, dodging the blow by a hair's breadth. With his attack having missed, the man halted his assault.

However, Lin Feng's kick had swept across the man's waist, leaving a gruesome gash. Fine beads of blood even began to form on the surface of his skin.

The man grunted. He knew Lin Feng hadn't used his full strength, but even so, the kick had left a long, red welt on his abdomen.

"Ha… COUGH, COUGH…"

Lin Feng let out a soft chuckle, preparing to mock his opponent. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he broke into a coughing fit. The force of the earlier exchange had rattled his throat hoarse, and he was suddenly unable to speak a word.

"You're courting death!"

Lin Feng's action completely enraged the man. He could no longer hold back. Gritting his teeth, he lunged at Lin Feng once more, aiming a punch straight for his head.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Lin Feng took a step, his figure dissolving into a wisp of green smoke as he shot several yards to the side.

BOOM!

The man's fist slammed into the ground, blasting a shallow crater into the earth. Lin Feng reappeared a short distance behind him, watching him with a dark expression.

"Since you don't know what's good for you, I'll deal with you first."

'The man was furious. He knew he had to get rid of this kid, and fast.'

'If he let Lin Feng recover, taking him down later wouldn't be so easy.'

"HYAH!"

The man roared, clenching his right fist and unleashing a powerful sweeping blow at Lin Feng.

The blow was immensely powerful—enough to shatter even a wall of bronze and iron!

However, Lin Feng merely gave the incoming fist a detached glance. He extended his right hand, formed a sword-finger with his index and middle fingers, and casually tapped downward.

PFFT!

Lin Feng's two fingers struck the man's elbow joint with perfect precision. The man's arm instantly went limp and hung uselessly at his side. The blow had clearly crippled it.

His arm dangled limply. He clutched the useless limb, his face twisting into a savage snarl as he stared at Lin Feng. With his other hand, he whipped out a dagger and lunged for Lin Feng's throat!

And yet, Lin Feng remained standing where he was. He made no move to resist, simply watching the approaching dagger with narrowed eyes, as if he had given up the fight.

Just as the man was about to succeed, Lin Feng suddenly lashed out with a kick, viciously striking his ribs. The man stumbled back several steps, a look of utter shock on his face.

Lin Feng then began to walk slowly toward him. His pace was deliberate, but each step landed with a suffocating pressure that made it hard for the man to breathe.

The man's brow furrowed. As he watched Lin Feng draw closer, his expression grew heavier. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He had never faced such a tenacious opponent.

His Inner Strength was profound, but wearing himself down like this was not the answer.

"Kid, I really underestimated you today. You truly are strong,"

the man said. With a flip of his hand, a medicinal pill appeared in his palm. He swallowed it without hesitation, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the approaching Lin Feng.

"Do you think I can't handle you just because you took that pill?"

Lin Feng's gaze sharpened. He didn't dare let his guard down for even a moment.

'He didn't know what the man had taken, but for him to use it at such a critical moment, it definitely wasn't anything ordinary. This meant he couldn't afford to be careless.'

"Heh… Then let's put it to the test."

After he spoke, the man charged at Lin Feng. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of him, a fist rocketing toward Lin Feng's head!

'So fast! What was in that pill he took?'

'A Blood Circulation Pill? Condensing Force Powder? Or could it be a higher-level Blood Surge Pill?'

Lin Feng frowned, puzzled to see his opponent's body seemingly restored to its peak condition.

He chose not to meet the blow head-on, instead sidestepping the punch. At the same time, he shot out a leg of his own, kicking at the man with incredible speed.

BANG!

Caught off guard, the man was sent flying by the kick. He rolled several times on the ground before barely managing to struggle to his feet.

Lin Feng seized the opening to press in close again. His fist whistled toward the man, and with the motion, a volley of silver needles shot out toward his target.

"Hmph. You really think you're a match for me?!"

The nimble assault didn't fluster the man. Instead, a disdainful smile crept onto his face.

'The pill he'd swallowed was starting to take effect. His condition had improved significantly—Lin Feng couldn't touch him now!'

SWOOSH!

With a wave of his sleeve, the man conjured a whirlwind around himself. Blocked by the vortex, all the silver needles were thrown off course.

TING TING TING…

The silver needles clattered to the ground, but they didn't even pierce the soil. They had all been stopped about half a meter from the man.

'How is this possible!'

Lin Feng's pupils contracted. He had never imagined that this guy would become so formidable after taking that strange pill!

'The man was secretly pleased. He had been at a disadvantage just moments ago. Now, he needed to press his advantage and defeat this boy as quickly as possible.'

So, the man lunged forward again. He knew this was his only chance; if he missed it, he wouldn't get another. He attacked with desperate ferocity.

Lin Feng's brow was tightly knit, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He knew there was no path of retreat; if he fell back now, he would be completely overwhelmed!

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and meet the attack head-on, pushing his techniques to their absolute limit. The man's speed was incredible, but Lin Feng was still able to handle him with ease.

But he never expected the man to suddenly flash behind him. He grabbed Lin Feng's shoulder and, with a sudden burst of strength, flung him backward!

Lin Feng's eyes turned cold and merciless. In that split second, the muscles in his right arm tensed, and he whipped it backward like a lash, striking the man square in the chest.

'Damn it, this kid is a real pain in the ass!'
