Chapter 389: Confidence?
His lips curled into a sneer. "Surprised, Lin Feng? Is this all you've got? Weren't you the one who said you were going to kill me? How about it? Still feeling brave enough to make that claim?"
"Heh. What's the matter? Your technique was countered, so you've resorted to trash talk? Too scared to make a move?"
"Since you lack the courage to act, allow me to send you on your way."
Lin Feng's tone was calm, as if completely unruffled.
Hearing this, Zhou Tianyu's face instantly twisted with rage. He roared and lunged at Lin Feng again!
At that moment, Lin Feng also moved!
He shot forward, closing the distance, and met Zhou Tianyu with a knee strike!
"Kid, today I'll show you the difference between an Ancient Martial Artist from a Hidden Clan and a self-taught nobody like you from the Mortal Realm!"
"Be more careful in your next life. Don't go sticking your nose where it doesn't belong just because you know a little medicine!"
Murderous intent filled his eyes. Zhou Tianyu crossed his palms before his chest, catching Lin Feng's knee.
He then applied sudden force, intending to snap Lin Feng's knee!
"THUD!"
A dull sound echoed. Lin Feng's face paled slightly, but he remained completely still.
"Hm?"
This sudden turn of events stunned Zhou Tianyu for a moment. 'That shouldn't have happened!'
By his calculations, his strength should have been enough to cripple Lin Feng's leg!
'What... is going on!'
Zhou Tianyu was bewildered. He looked up at Lin Feng, only to see a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Hmph! Putting on a brave face. I'd like to see how long you can last."
Zhou Tianyu sneered and applied force again!
But how could Lin Feng give him another chance? He twisted his body and lashed out with a kick, striking Zhou Tianyu squarely in the abdomen and sending him flying!
"THUD!"
Zhou Tianyu crashed to the ground, his face slightly pale.
Lin Feng's counter had been too fast. He had struck right as Zhou Tianyu was exerting his own strength, leaving him no way to change his move or defend himself.
'Impossible! How could I be losing so badly to this kid...?'
Struggling to his feet, Zhou Tianyu shook his head, completely unwilling to accept this reality!
He was an expert under the Murong Family's Great Elder, yet he was being beaten by some snot-nosed brat from the Mortal Realm?
Lin Feng took a step forward, bearing down on Zhou Tianyu with ice-cold eyes.
"Die!"
Zhou Tianyu's eyes flashed with malice as he snarled through clenched teeth, "You little bastard!"
He then sprang up, his body like a cheetah, moving with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Lin Feng, his fists a blur as they whistled through the air toward him.
'So powerful!'
Lin Feng's pupils contracted. This Zhou Tianyu's overall skill might be lacking, but his explosive power and reaction speed were astonishing. The force and velocity of his attacks were brutal, almost terrifying!
If it were an ordinary Martial Artist, they would have likely been overwhelmed by Zhou Tianyu's barrage of attacks!
But Lin Feng was no ordinary Martial Artist. Pulling fancy tricks in front of him was destined to be useless.
Immediately, instead of retreating, he advanced, lunging toward Zhou Tianyu.
Seeing this, a sinister smile formed on Zhou Tianyu's lips.
He had originally thought Lin Feng would choose to avoid the brunt of his attack, but he never expected Lin Feng to be foolish enough to charge straight in.
'This is perfect. As long as I can seize the initiative with this move and injure him, I can press the advantage and finish him off!'
At that thought, Zhou Tianyu's eyes turned bloodshot. He gathered most of the Inner Strength in his body into his arms and unleashed a ferocious punch at Lin Feng!
The power of this punch was extraordinary. Even though Lin Feng had circulated his Inner Strength for protection, he was still knocked back three or four meters before he could steady himself.
The power of that move was even greater than Lin Feng had anticipated!
"Haha! Lin Feng, I didn't think you'd be so fragile. You really aren't qualified to fight me!"
"You know, I've wanted to kill you for a long time. It's a shame we never had the chance before."
"Now, just lie down quietly and wait for death!"
Zhou Tianyu threw his head back and laughed. He strode forward and threw a roundhouse kick straight at Lin Feng's head!
"SWISH!"
Lin Feng's eyes were like ice. He tapped his toes on the ground, and his body shifted ten feet to the side like a bolt of lightning!
Zhou Tianyu's kick grazed past Lin Feng's shoulder!
"BANG!"
Lin Feng tapped his toes on the ground, spun around, and slammed an elbow into the side of Zhou Tianyu's neck, knocking him to the ground!
He didn't stop there. He followed up with a sweeping kick, forcing back Zhou Tianyu, who had been about to charge forward again.
"Is that all you've got? You don't know anything but petty tricks, do you?"
Lin Feng said coldly, his voice dripping with contempt.
"You little beast, don't get so arrogant!"
Enraged by his words, Zhou Tianyu attacked Lin Feng furiously once again!
But Lin Feng remained completely unfazed. His movements were phantom-like. Although Zhou Tianyu's Fist Force was ferocious, Lin Feng deftly neutralized every blow and even found opportunities to counterattack.
'Is this kid really just a Martial Artist from the Mortal Realm?'
'His skill and power are actually on par with mine!'
Zhou Tianyu's heart grew heavy. The strength Lin Feng was displaying far exceeded his imagination.
But he was no slouch either. After all, he was a Martial Arts Grandmaster!
His Body Technique was extremely strange. While dodging Lin Feng's attacks, his feet continuously stamped on the turf, kicking up dirt as his body began to spin like a top.
"SWOOSH!"
In an instant, Lin Feng's vision was filled with dirt and pebbles, completely obscuring his view.
He also felt a ringing in his eardrums, as if many fine particles were flying past his ears.
Lin Feng quickly closed his eyes and mobilized his Inner Strength to protect his eardrums!
"SWISH!"
Just then, a figure shot forward, and the sharp force of a fist came from Lin Feng's side!
The punch was aimed straight at Lin Feng's back. A chill went down his spine, and he instinctively bent over to dodge, but the punch was simply too fast. There was no time.
In the end, Lin Feng's back took the full, solid force of Zhou Tianyu's punch!
Instantly, an unbearable pain shot through Lin Feng, as if his spine had been smashed by a hammer!
He spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered forward two steps, nearly falling over!
"Heheh, kid, you brought this on yourself!"
Zhou Tianyu sneered. Although that last punch wasn't his strongest, it was enough to severely injure Lin Feng.
He believed that if he just pressed his attack with a few more punches, he could definitely reap Lin Feng's life!
Just as he took a step forward to attack again, a cold glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.
"WHOOSH!"
The muscles in Lin Feng's right arm bulged. With a flick of his wrist, silver needles silently appeared in his hand!
"WHOOSH!"
With a flick of his fingers, five silver needles shot from his hand, transforming into five streaks of silver light as they flew toward Zhou Tianyu!
These five silver needles were infused with Inner Strength, and the sound of them tearing through the air was piercing!
Zhou Tianyu's pupils contracted violently. He could clearly feel the fluctuation of Inner Strength contained within those five silver needles!
