The Capital's Dragon Doctor

He had been so focused on blocking Lin Feng's attacks that he completely failed to notice the sneak attack aimed at his lower body, a mistake that cost him dearly.

Lin Feng's Iron Lock Throat Technique was devilishly unpredictable. The attack dazed Zhou Tianyu, causing him to lose the initiative and get knocked straight to the ground.

Where was Zhou Tianyu's earlier arrogance and aggression now?

He scrambled to his feet, covered in dirt. Clutching his neck, he struggled to regulate his ragged breathing. 'I was far too careless. If I'd just had two more seconds, the outcome would have been completely different.'

But even though he had recovered his wits, the situation remained grim. Lin Feng was clearly far stronger than him.

He no longer had any advantage!

Lin Feng flexed his arm. The intense close-quarters combat had left it slightly numb.

"Heh, I didn't realize you were holding back!"

Zhou Tianyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His face was twisted, his eyes dark. The recent exchange had only strengthened his resolve to kill Lin Feng!

Lin Feng shook his head coolly. "I'm not holding back. I'm just being realistic. The gap in our strength is too great. Continuing this fight is a waste of time."

"If you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

Zhou Tianyu stared at Lin Feng, grinding his teeth. He wanted nothing more than to tear Lin Feng to shreds on the spot!

'He just couldn't understand it. With his strength, how could he have lost to Lin Feng in a single exchange again? It was an absolute disgrace!'

Lin Feng paid him no more mind. He strode forward, balled his hands into fists, and suddenly smashed one down.

THUD!

A dull thud echoed as Lin Feng's heavy fist connected with Zhou Tianyu's face, sending him flying on the spot.

Having landed the blow, Lin Feng immediately leaped back and lashed out with his right leg, aiming for Zhou Tianyu's ribs.

'If I can shatter his ribs,' he thought, 'this fight will be over.'

But just as his leg shot out, Zhou Tianyu unexpectedly lunged forward, completely disregarding his own defense!

WHOOSH!

Zhou Tianyu's hands shot out, grabbing for Lin Feng's waist with lightning speed.

Lin Feng's brows furrowed slightly. He hadn't expected Zhou Tianyu to be so desperate, willing to abandon all defense just to attack!

And incredibly, his attack actually connected with Lin Feng's abdomen!

CRACK!

Lin Feng felt a sharp pain at his waist. He glanced down and saw that Zhou Tianyu's grip had already left two dark bruises on his side!

Although the injury wasn't serious, it still gave Lin Feng a jolt.

'This Zhou Tianyu really is desperate!'

"Hahaha... You're finished! I'm going to kill you today, and no one who comes to help will be able to save you!"

Zhou Tianyu laughed wildly. He had put his full strength into that last strike, which was why it had been so effective.

A mocking smile played on his lips. He was confident that this blow would surely break Lin Feng's ribs!

"Is that so? We'll see about that!"

Lin Feng snorted coldly. Tapping his toes lightly on the ground, he moved like an agile cat, swiftly circling around Zhou Tianyu and heading straight for his back!

SWOOSH!

Zhou Tianyu felt the rush of air behind him. He spun around abruptly, bending backward in a flawless Iron Bridge maneuver to dodge Lin Feng's attack.

At the same time, Zhou Tianyu struck out at Lin Feng with his right palm. The blow was infused with powerful Inner Strength and carried immense force!

But Lin Feng was not flustered. His movements changed in an instant, leaving a series of afterimages as he vanished. When he reappeared, he was already behind Zhou Tianyu!

The entire sequence of movements was as smooth as flowing water, without a hint of sloppiness, a clear testament to his diligent daily training.

Lin Feng's body tensed, like a cheetah poised to strike. He pounced forward, aiming straight for Zhou Tianyu's neck!

"Hah!"

Zhou Tianyu roared. His shoulders dropped as the muscles in his arms bulged like steel, and he brought them crashing down to meet Lin Feng's powerful elbow strike!

BANG!

The two collided with a deafening explosion of sound, and a shockwave, barely visible to the naked eye, radiated outward from them as the epicenter!

Lin Feng didn't move an inch, but Zhou Tianyu was sent flying backward. He stumbled a full seven or eight meters before regaining his footing.

"You... How do you possess such terrifying speed and power?"

Zhou Tianyu's face was a mask of shock. He couldn't believe Lin Feng's skills were so formidable—that last collision had sent him flying!

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. Zhou Tianyu's last strike gave him the unnerving sensation of being coiled by a venomous snake. 'This guy's martial arts foundation is truly profound,' he thought. 'He almost got the best of me.'

Zhou Tianyu's eyes filled with shock and uncertainty. In their last exchange, he had to use every trick up his sleeve just to barely block Lin Feng's assault. What did that prove?

It proved that Lin Feng's strength was a cut above his own!

But Zhou Tianyu still found it hard to believe. 'What kind of monster is this guy? To possess such heaven-defying skills at such a young age!'

And on top of that, he understood Ancient Martial Arts and even knew its foundational techniques!

Worst of all, the toughness of Lin Feng's body completely exceeded his expectations. He met force with force every time, which only fueled the resentment in Zhou Tianyu's heart!

His eyes were locked on Lin Feng, wishing he could carve him into a thousand pieces on the spot!

A cruel smile touched Lin Feng's lips. "Zhou Tianyu," he said coolly, "let's stop playing games. Let's settle this today—life or death."

His tone was so frigid it felt as if the surrounding air had dropped several degrees.

Zhou Tianyu scoffed. "Stop with the mysterious act. You can't beat me!"

Lin Feng snorted. "Is that so? Then try me!"

The words had barely left his mouth when he lunged forward, sweeping a roundhouse kick toward Zhou Tianyu's head.

Zhou Tianyu's expression darkened, and he quickly swung his arms up to block the roundhouse kick.

SMACK!

A crisp sound echoed out. Zhou Tianyu felt his arms go numb and weak, as if they no longer belonged to him.

The immense power contained in Lin Feng's kick made his hands numb and his arms tremble faintly.

Only then did he realize that Lin Feng's previous attack had been a feint, a deliberate move to make him lower his guard in preparation for this kick. 'This guy is so devious!' he thought.

Lin Feng retracted his leg and stood firm, his sharp gaze fixed on Zhou Tianyu as he spoke slowly, "I warned you that my skills were formidable, but you wouldn't listen. What tricks do you have left now?"

The moment his voice fell, Lin Feng stepped forward, instantly closing the distance to Zhou Tianyu. He shot out both fists and slammed them viciously into Zhou Tianyu's chest.
