Chapter 372: Enhancement
He let out a bloodcurdling scream, hastily pulling back his left hand as he stumbled backward.
A patch of skin on Wang Lu's left arm was charred black and bloodstained. The arm was visibly twitching.
"Lin Feng! I'm going to kill you!"
The flames of hatred burned in Wang Lu's eyes.
'Lin Feng was supposed to be weaker than me. And I even used a Secret Technique to temporarily boost my power. By all rights, I should be crushing him!'
"Heh. I told you. Before me, your power is nothing but trash."
Lin Feng spoke coolly, standing his ground. He ignored the pain and clenched his right hand into a tight fist, ready to attack at any moment.
"I'm going to slaughter you!"
Wang Lu's eyes filled with malice. He roared, lunging at Lin Feng with his dagger.
A harsh glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He sidestepped the fatal blow, but a shallow gash was still cut across his shoulder, instantly soaking his clothes with blood.
SWISH!
Pressing his advantage, Wang Lu's eyes turned ruthless. His arm became a blur, the dagger striking like a viper from under Lin Feng's ribs, aiming to pierce his heart.
"Courting death!"
A cold glint flashed through Lin Feng's eyes. His right fist shot out like a cannonball, smashing toward Wang Lu's wrist with terrifying force!
BANG!
Lin Feng's punch knocked the dagger off course, the sharp blade grazing past his face.
SLICE!
The dagger sliced across his neck, severing a lock of hair and leaving a ghastly wound on its side.
Lin Feng swayed, pain flashing in his eyes. He knew he was in terrible shape. His injuries were severe, yet his expression remained calm.
He let out a slow breath, his eyes filled with resolve.
He took a step forward, his eyes locked on Wang Lu, and snarled, "Bring it on!"
BOOM!
The moment he spoke, the Inner Strength within Lin Feng's body erupted. It surged like a tidal wave, creating a powerful gale that swept through the area.
"Impossible!"
Feeling the aura radiating from Lin Feng, Wang Lu's eyes widened in shock. "How can you still have so much energy left?"
'Even though we're experts of the same realm, I've already used up more than half of my Inner Strength.'
'But he seems to be in his peak condition!'
Lin Feng didn't answer. A cruel smile touched his lips as he charged forward.
BAM!
Lin Feng and Wang Lu crashed into each other and were instantly locked in a desperate struggle.
The longer Lin Feng fought, the fiercer he became. His every sweeping kick whistled through the air like a tempest.
His arms contained terrifying power. Each blow landed like a sledgehammer on a steel plate, the immense force directly causing Wang Lu's right hand to go numb!
"Ahhh!"
Wang Lu cried out in pain, but he didn't give up. Instead, the battle seemed to make him even more excited!
He seemed to fall into a frenzy, becoming utterly bloodthirsty. Ignoring the wound on his arm, his body bobbed and weaved as he relentlessly engaged Lin Feng in close combat.
The two moved so fast they were little more than blurs, almost impossible for the naked eye to follow.
SMACK!
Wang Lu fought fiercely, brandishing the dagger in his left hand, while Lin Feng unleashed a flurry of fists, hammering them mercilessly into Wang Lu's body.
PTOO!
The two shot past each other, and Wang Lu spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You've lost!"
Lin Feng said coldly. His fists were covered in Wang Lu's blood, giving them a strangely sinister appearance.
Blood gushed from several wounds on Wang Lu's body.
"I won't lose to you!"
Wang Lu snarled through clenched teeth. Stomping his right foot on the ground, he used the force to launch himself into the air, flipping to deliver a sweeping kick at Lin Feng's head.
Lin Feng's brow twitched as he leaped back, narrowly dodging the kick.
However, in the next second, Wang Lu's pupils shrank. Lin Feng smashed a fist into his abdomen, and the intense pain almost made him pass out.
Lin Feng seized the opportunity, his right fist hammering toward Wang Lu's chest with incredible speed!
BAM!
Lin Feng's fist struck Wang Lu squarely on the chest, sending him flying backward like a kite with a snapped string!
BANG!
Wang Lu crashed against a distant wall. He lay sprawled on the ground, coughing up great mouthfuls of blood, his face deathly pale, clearly having suffered a devastating blow.
Wang Lu's cheeks were badly swollen, his nose was broken, and his mouth was twisted. He struggled to lift his head to look at Lin Feng, crimson blood continuously spilling from his lips.
"I told you. You can never beat me."
Lin Feng slowly rose to his feet, looking down on Wang Lu from his superior height.
COUGH! COUGH!
Wang Lu coughed violently. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were ice-cold, and he stared fixedly at Lin Feng.
"What… what are you going to do?"
Wang Lu asked in a low voice, a flicker of fear in his eyes. A thick killing intent radiated from Lin Feng, sending a chill down his spine and causing him to tremble.
"Send you on your way!"
Lin Feng sneered. His voice was cold, as if it came from the Nine Nethers, and his words were heavy with boundless killing intent.
"Hahaha!"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Wang Lu suddenly threw his head back and roared with laughter.
Lin Feng frowned.
"I admit I've lost, but I'm not afraid to die. Lin Feng, if you want to kill me today, you'll have to pay a heavy price!"
Wang Lu said venomously.
"Hm?"
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, but then he understood, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
'I finally get it,' he thought. 'He was fighting me so desperately just to stall for time. His real killing blow is something else entirely!'
"Hahaha!"
Wang Lu suddenly burst into crazed laughter, his eyes bloodshot, looking like a madman. He slowly got to his feet and ripped off his tattered clothes, revealing a torso covered in scars.
"You think I didn't see through your little scheme?"
Lin Feng sneered. "But if you think you can kill me, you're dreaming. You're not getting away."
"I told you, no one can save you today."
Venom and madness flickered in Wang Lu's eyes. He grinned, a ghastly smile spreading across his face. Clearly, he was ready to bet his life on one last gamble.
"Lin Feng, I'll use the last of my strength to tear your skin, gouge out your bones, hack off your limbs, and cripple your Dantian!"
Wang Lu's voice was sinister to the extreme, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell itself. He sneered, slowly closing the distance to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. The overwhelming hatred and madness pouring off Wang Lu put him on high alert. He knew this guy was cooking up something nasty.
'But what is he planning to do?'
By now, even Lin Feng could sense that something was very wrong.
"Hahaha!"
Wang Lu let out another sudden, loud laugh. The muscles in his arms tensed, and his right arm seemed to transform into a flood dragon as he lashed it fiercely toward Lin Feng, kicking up a violent gust of wind!
