The Capital's Dragon Doctor

Lv Jian had just regained his footing when he found Lin Feng had already caught up, a fist whistling through the air as it came smashing toward his head.

If this blow landed squarely, his life would be forfeit, even with his superior strength.

SWISH!

At the critical moment, Lv Jian hastily raised his palm, managing to block Lin Feng's fist. But this time, Lin Feng's fist was like cast iron; no matter how hard Lv Jian pushed, it didn't budge an inch.

CRACK!

Lin Feng's knee slammed into Lv Jian's stomach, knocking him to his knees.

This was a blow Lin Feng had planned for a while. He knew Lv Jian was a tough opponent, so after the successful strike, he didn't stop. With a quick shift of his feet, he closed the distance, the dagger in his hand pointed straight at Lv Jian's neck.

This time, Lv Jian had lost his earlier composure. At this life-or-death moment, the crisp sound of metal striking metal rang out.

The dagger and the Short Blade collided, sending sparks flying. Lv Jian used the force of Lin Feng's push to slide backward, while Lin Feng was also forced back by the recoil. The two disengaged as quickly as they had met.

THUD!

Lin Feng touched his toes to the ground and instantly steadied himself. He had gained the upper hand just now, but he'd still let Lv Jian get away. 'Lv Jian's strength really is beyond my expectations.'

Unable to remain standing, Lv Jian dropped to one knee. He clutched his chest, gasping for breath, his forehead covered in beads of sweat. His situation had become even more dire.

Just moments ago, he had been completely suppressing Lin Feng, but as time went on, Lin Feng had somehow grown stronger with every exchange.

After they separated, Lin Feng was also slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Lv Jian to be able to react so quickly.

But he wasn't about to let this opportunity slip by. He was well-practiced in the art of striking an enemy when they were down.

Stomping a foot, Lin Feng charged out once more, the dagger in his hand aiming straight for Lv Jian's throat.

"Let's see how many more moves you can take!"

Lin Feng's figure was as swift as a phantom. The dagger in his hand was like a venomous snake's fang, carrying a terrifyingly sharp glint as it flew toward Lv Jian—a killing blow!

Lv Jian's face was as dark as water. He understood that today's situation was truly perilous. If it weren't for Lin Feng's bizarre Body Technique, he wouldn't be in such a passive position.

But now, he had no way to change the situation. All he could do was risk everything in a final struggle!

He began to gather the last remnants of Inner Strength within his body. He was going to use a Secret Technique to boost his power, but that required time—time that was long enough for Lin Feng to take his life.

This made Lv Jian's mood incredibly complicated. He couldn't understand where someone of Lin Feng's caliber had learned such a Body Technique and martial arts.

He was certain he had never seen a martial technique of such a high grade before. But he couldn't worry about that now. 'As long as I kill Lin Feng, all my problems will be solved.'

Meanwhile, Lin Feng grew stronger with every attack. He finally found an opening in Lv Jian's defense. The Short Blade in his hand swung violently, and a fierce blade aura shot out, slashing toward Lv Jian's chest. He had decided not to hold back; he would take down Lv Jian in one fell swoop.

PFFT!

The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh rang out. Just as expected, the Short Blade plunged into Lv Jian's chest, and fresh blood stained the front of his robes.

"What? This... this is impossible!"

Lv Jian's eyes widened as he stared at the Short Blade that had pierced his chest. He had never expected this outcome. He'd been certain of victory, but the tables had suddenly turned. Lin Feng now held the absolute upper hand.

"Ahhh—"

A blood-curdling scream erupted. Lv Jian felt how close he was to death's door. He was unwilling to die like this. He hadn't lived long enough; he still had great vengeance to seek. 'How can I die at the hands of this unknown young man?'

Lin Feng looked at Lv Jian's savage, contorted expression, and the killing intent in his heart surged to its peak. His eyes were bloodshot, and his violent aura instantly exploded.

Gritting his teeth, he yanked his arm forward, dragging Lv Jian toward him. Lin Feng's dagger then sliced all the way down Lv Jian's body.

SCHLICK!

A gash several feet long opened up on Lv Jian's abdomen. Blood sprayed out, soaking his loose robes. Lin Feng didn't pause, bringing his blade down once more.

Lv Jian braced his hands on Lin Feng's shoulders, trying to stand up, but he couldn't manage it no matter what. He no longer had the strength to support himself.

PFFT!

Lin Feng swung his blade again, severing Lv Jian's right arm at the wrist.

THUMP... THUMP...

Lv Jian's arm fell to the ground. His lips trembled as he stared at Lin Feng, completely stunned. 'How could this happen? I actually lost. I lost to an unknown nobody like this.'

But he wasn't dead. He was a Cultivator, after all. He still wanted to struggle, to try and escape or fight back, but his efforts were futile. He no longer even had the strength to lift his right hand.

Lin Feng's face was ice-cold, his eyes filled with killing intent. He slowly walked toward Lv Jian, the Short Blade in his hand glinting with a frigid light.

"You can't kill me... If you kill me..."

Lv Jian forced the words out with difficulty. He didn't want to die like this, but he barely had the strength to speak. At this point, he had fallen into complete despair.

BANG!

Lin Feng then landed a vicious kick on Lv Jian's chest, sending him flying backward.

With nothing to support him this time, Lv Jian crashed to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were wide with terror; his gaze toward Lin Feng was filled with dread. He was truly afraid.

"What were you trying to say?"

Lin Feng snorted. He had already pushed Lv Jian into a corner. It was impossible for Lv Jian to escape now; he had no chance left. He knew that Lin Feng now hated him to the bone.

"You'd better not kill me!"

Lv Jian said, but the fear in his eyes betrayed his thoughts. He was genuinely scared now.

"Oh?"

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, but the Short Blade in his hand remained pressed against Lv Jian's neck. He had to figure out what tricks this Lv Jian was trying to pull.

"I am an Elder of the Lv Family, and a trusted subordinate of the main lineage! If you kill me, you will be hunted by the Lv Family to the ends of the earth!"

"Our Lv Family is a prominent existence even among the Hidden Clans! Don't bring disaster upon yourself!"

"As long as you let me go now, I can go back to the family and plead for leniency on your behalf. We can just forget this whole incident, how about it?"

Lv Jian's eyes darted around as he yelled hastily. He was out of options.
