Chapter 364: Showing Mercy
Lin Feng's brow furrowed, his eyes locked onto Wang Lu. Although the last punch hadn't caused any serious injuries, the impact still left his insides churning.
"Hmph! If that's how it is, I won't hold back any longer!"
Lin Feng slowly shook his head, and an intense fighting spirit erupted in his eyes.
WHOOSH!
Lin Feng moved, appearing by Wang Lu's side in an instant like a phantom. He balled his right hand into a fist and threw a vicious punch straight at Wang Lu's head!
"Fast, but that's all you've got!"
Wang Lu scoffed as Lin Feng made his move.
With incredible speed, he instantly dodged Lin Feng's thunderous strike.
Wang Lu slammed a fist into the ground, and the hard concrete instantly shattered, sending debris flying.
Seizing the opportunity, Wang Lu's other hand shot out, clawing for Lin Feng's stomach.
Lin Feng gave a sharp cry, snapping his right leg up to drive his knee brutally into Wang Lu's gut.
Wang Lu's expression changed. He quickly pulled back his hand and retreated several steps.
BAM!
The attack having missed, Lin Feng lunged forward again. His right leg shot out like a spear, whistling through the air as it once more flew toward Wang Lu.
POW!
The two clashed again. A violent shock ran up Wang Lu's arm, and the webbing between his thumb and index finger tore open.
'Damn it!'
Wang Lu's expression was grim. He hadn't expected Lin Feng's explosive power to be so shocking; his arm ached and throbbed from the kick.
A venomous look flashed in his eyes. 'I have to get rid of Lin Feng today!'
Gritting his teeth, Wang Lu charged out once more, rushing to attack Lin Feng!
Wang Lu was indeed a sliver stronger than Lin Feng, but Lin Feng's explosive power was too immense. Wang Lu's attacks couldn't harm him at all; instead, Lin Feng was steadily forcing Wang Lu into retreat.
Gradually, Wang Lu's expression grew more sullen. He could clearly feel his attacks slowing and his stamina rapidly depleting.
'If this goes on, I'll definitely lose to Lin Feng!'
'I have to change my strategy!'
At this thought, Wang Lu's eyes narrowed. He suddenly stopped clashing head-on with Lin Feng and chose to dodge instead, using his superior agility to create as much distance between them as possible.
This time, however, Lin Feng didn't give chase. He simply stood still, seemingly waiting for Wang Lu to take the initiative.
Though confused, Wang Lu didn't hesitate. He deftly circled around to the side and sent a vicious palm strike toward Lin Feng's back.
THUD!
The blow landed on Lin Feng's back, sending a sharp pain through him, but his expression remained unchanged.
Seeing this, a cruel smile touched Wang Lu's lips.
"Haha, Lin Feng, go to hell!"
Along with his roar, he threw another vicious punch.
This time, however, Wang Lu's fist aimed straight for Lin Feng's neck.
If this punch connected, Lin Feng would undoubtedly die on the spot.
Lin Feng still showed no reaction. His eyes were calm, as if he hadn't even noticed Wang Lu's venomous attack.
Wang Lu snorted, gathering a dense layer of Inner Strength around his fist. With a sharp whistle, it shot brutally toward Lin Feng's neck!
And still, Lin Feng stood his ground, showing no intention of dodging.
Just as Wang Lu's fist was about to strike Lin Feng's neck, his body suddenly went rigid. He froze in mid-air, completely unable to move.
It felt as if ants were crawling all over his body, an unbearable itch.
'Damn it, when did he get me?!'
The moment the strange sensation hit, Wang Lu reacted. He instantly changed his technique, pulling back his hand and retreating in an attempt to escape Lin Feng's attack range.
Lin Feng snorted. His left hand shot out with deceptive lightness, landing on Wang Lu's shoulder and sending him flying.
THUMP!
Wang Lu crashed to the ground, his face pale and his body trembling. Beads of sweat the size of peas rolled down his forehead. He was clearly badly injured.
Lin Feng walked over and looked down on him. "Wang Lu," he said coolly, "now do you see who's superior?"
"You..."
Wang Lu struggled to his feet, glaring at Lin Feng with pure hatred, wishing he could rush over and tear him to shreds.
But the terrifying aura radiating from Lin Feng, a power so immense it was suffocating, made Wang Lu hesitate.
Lin Feng spoke slowly. "I told you that you were no match for me, but you wouldn't listen. You insisted on this fight. There's only one outcome for that: being utterly crushed by me!"
At this, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed, a cold light glinting within them. "Now, do you submit?"
"Pah!"
Wang Lu spat at Lin Feng. "Lin Feng, don't think for a second you've broken me! I'd rather die than submit to you!"
Lin Feng's eyes turned to ice. "Then I'll grant your wish."
Lin Feng suddenly sprang forward, pouncing on Wang Lu like a cheetah. His right hand shot out, shaped like an eagle's talon, and clawed for Wang Lu's throat. If it connected, Wang Lu would undoubtedly die!
"Damn you! You really think a few petty tricks make you my match?!"
Watching Lin Feng charge in for the kill, Wang Lu's eyes turned bloodshot with rage.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Wang Lu's body spun, and a series of afterimages appeared out of thin air. Each one looked so real it was as if hundreds of him had appeared at once.
The next moment, Lin Feng's vision blurred as all the phantoms merged into a single black shadow that lunged at him.
This was the unique martial art Wang Lu had learned from the Lv Family: Phantom Trace!
A flicker of surprise appeared in Lin Feng's eyes as Wang Lu unleashed his Phantom Trace. Wang Lu's Body Technique was truly a sight to behold.
Not daring to be careless, Lin Feng leaned to the side, dodging the attack by a hair's breadth. Still, the sharp nails grazed his sleeve, tearing the fabric and revealing a gash on his arm.
"Hmph, Lin Feng! How about that? Still think I'm inferior to you?"
Wang Lu gloated, seeing that he had finally gotten the upper hand.
"Oh, really? Have you forgotten this is a battle to the death, not a friendly spar?"
A cold smirk touched Lin Feng's lips. "In that case, why aren't you running? Could it be that you're afraid of me?"
Hearing this, Wang Lu's face darkened, and he stared at Lin Feng, grinding his teeth.
"Heh, afraid of you? You've got to be kidding. Afraid of a loser like you? I'm just stalling for time!"
Lin Feng laughed with contempt. "Stalling for time? Heh, Wang Lu, you don't have what it takes."
With that, Lin Feng took a sudden step forward.
Wang Lu's face fell. He had already tasted Lin Feng's power and knew he was absolutely no match for him.
