Chapter 378 385: Ferocious
Zhou Tianyu grinned, his stark white teeth making him look all the more menacing.
"Are you even worthy of guessing my true strength?"
As the words fell, a dagger glinting with a cold light appeared in his hand. It instantly blurred into a flurry of afterimages, hurtling toward Lin Feng.
The daggers were incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, they cut through the air, aimed at Lin Feng's vital points.
Zhou Tianyu was using hidden weapons.
As expected of a professionally trained agent, his skill with them was exceptional.
Furthermore, his every move was cunning and aimed for a fatal blow. A single misstep could prove disastrous.
However, Lin Feng just shook his head indifferently. With a slight sway of his body, he easily dodged all of Zhou Tianyu's attacks.
Seeing this, Zhou Tianyu's pupils constricted. He was secretly shocked. 'Lin Feng is this tough to deal with?'
But he didn't give up. Instead, he lunged forward again, locking Lin Feng in a fierce battle.
His attacks grew faster and more cunning, each strike vicious and nearly impossible to defend against.
But no matter how ruthless his moves were, he couldn't even touch the hem of Lin Feng's clothes.
BAM!
A series of explosive impacts echoed through the building. Two figures weaved and clashed, trading blows as powerful gusts of wind erupted from their exchange.
The surrounding walls cracked and shattered under the shockwaves of their battle, and craters even began to form.
The fight between Lin Feng and Zhou Tianyu was spectacular. Every punch and kick contained immense power, and each move was aimed to kill, without a shred of mercy.
CLANG!
Their fists and palms collided, unleashing a tremendous force that made the air vibrate with a thunderous hum.
In the next moment, they both took a step back. Neither had gained the upper hand.
Just then, Lin Feng's eyes lit up, a smile playing on his lips. "Since it's come to this, let's see how you like this move."
With a sudden shout, Lin Feng took a sharp step forward, forming a sword with two fingers and thrusting it toward Zhou Tianyu's chest.
SWISH!
A sharp whistling sound cut through the air. Zhou Tianyu felt a piercing wave of energy rush at him, and a grave look flashed in his eyes.
He didn't try to block it head-on. He sidestepped Lin Feng's finger-strike and drove his right elbow toward Lin Feng's abdomen.
At that moment, Lin Feng suddenly changed his attack. He ducked low, evading Zhou Tianyu's elbow strike, grabbed both of his opponent's arms, and violently slammed him to the ground.
CRASH!
A dull thud echoed as Zhou Tianyu was thrown hard against the floor, letting out a muffled groan.
However, his reaction was quick. Pushing off the floor with both hands, he sprang up and chopped at Lin Feng's neck with his hands like blades.
This was the Mountain-Splitting Slash from the Baji Fist!
This strike was immensely powerful and deceptively unpredictable, a top-tier move among the Hard Qi Techniques known in the Mortal Realm!
But Lin Feng had anticipated this move. He suddenly dropped low, then leaped up, his right leg swinging high.
"Trying to ambush me?"
"In your dreams!"
Seeing Lin Feng's counter, Zhou Tianyu barked a cold laugh. He immediately grabbed Lin Feng's thigh and, with a sudden burst of strength, slammed him to the ground.
He then took the opportunity to pounce, kneeling on Lin Feng's body and raising his right hand to bring it down hard on Lin Feng's head.
It was a killing blow!
Lin Feng's eyelids twitched, but his reaction was even faster.
The instant Zhou Tianyu's knees were about to slam into his forehead, Lin Feng suddenly twisted, using his opponent's momentum to rotate his body one hundred and eighty degrees. At the same time, he viciously struck Zhou Tianyu's side with his left elbow.
'Damn it, how can this kid's reactions be so fast?!'
Zhou Tianyu gritted his teeth, utterly furious.
'This can't go on.' He knew perfectly well that he had no way of defeating Lin Feng. He had truly underestimated his opponent's strength this time, leading him into a bitter struggle—the very situation he dreaded most.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. Then his eyes flew wide open, and the muscles all over his body bulged like an overinflated balloon.
"ROAR!"
Zhou Tianyu let out a ferocious roar. His body tensed and then shot forward, launching a punch at Lin Feng.
BANG!
Lin Feng raised his right hand to meet the fist. A massive force slammed into him, and he couldn't help but let out a grunt as he was forced back several steps.
This time, his expression finally turned serious. He knew Zhou Tianyu was going all out. His strength had clearly increased significantly and was no longer comparable to before.
"Hahaha, exhilarating!"
Zhou Tianyu, however, was roaring with manic laughter.
His body was being pushed back by Lin Feng's pressure, but then he suddenly twisted in mid-air, his entire body contorting like a pretzel.
This was the Wall Lean of the Baji Fist!
This move was immensely powerful and perfectly suited for close-quarters combat.
THUMP!
Not daring to be careless, Lin Feng quickly retreated, evading the attack's range.
But in the instant he let his guard down, Zhou Tianyu charged again. This time, he aimed straight for Lin Feng's chin, intending to send him flying and deliver a finishing blow!
However, the moment Zhou Tianyu struck, Lin Feng also moved.
His eyes narrowed, a sharp glint flashing within them. He stomped his foot hard, using the rebound force to launch himself at Zhou Tianyu.
"Hmph?!"
Zhou Tianyu's expression darkened, but he didn't stop, still swinging his fist to smash Lin Feng.
But how could Lin Feng be so easily bullied?
CRACK!
Lin Feng shot out both hands, grabbing one of Zhou Tianyu's arms with each. Then, with all his might, he pulled.
Zhou Tianyu was yanked into a somersault and slammed violently onto the ground.
It all happened in the blink of an eye. They had exchanged blows for less than a second before the outcome was decided.
Zhou Tianyu was defeated!
He struggled to his feet, wiping the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth as he stared at Lin Feng with a burning gaze.
"Not bad. Truly impressive. I never thought you'd be hiding an ace like that. I miscalculated today, but it doesn't matter. I admit I underestimated you."
"But I'm not done yet!"
As he spoke, a powerful Inner Strength erupted from his body. The sheer force of his aura sent loose rubble skittering across the floor, and his previous listless state vanished completely.
Feeling the change in Zhou Tianyu's aura, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, a dangerous light glinting within them.
"Heh heh."
Zhou Tianyu let out a cold laugh. He pushed off the ground with both legs, launching himself into the air before swooping down with a leg sweep aimed at Lin Feng.
THWACK!
A dull thud rang out as the leg sweep connected solidly with Lin Feng's head. He staggered back, nearly falling to the ground, his mind reeling.
But his physical constitution was, after all, far beyond what an ordinary Ancient Martial Artist could compare to.
