Chapter 406: Pinnacle
His body swayed slightly. Bolstered by his Inner Strength, his speed suddenly surged.
He lunged toward Lin Feng like an arrow loosed from a bow, his dagger a streak of cold light as he swung it with maximum force.
But Lin Feng also pushed his Spiritual Power to its limits, unleashing his maximum speed. Although his body was still slightly inferior to Zhou Yi's, he was fast enough to escape the dangerous predicament.
The two were locked in a tangled struggle. Lin Feng couldn't find a single opening to get past Zhou Yi, simply because he couldn't match his speed.
SWOOSH!
Zhou Yi left a trail of afterimages in mid-air, and in the next instant, he appeared behind Lin Feng.
Lin Feng spun around and caught Zhou Yi's incoming dagger. But this time, Lin Feng didn't opt for a head-on clash. With a sudden exertion of force from his fingers, the dagger's blade shattered.
CLANG!
Lin Feng's fingers, like steel hooks, were clamped tightly around the hilt. With a flick of his wrist, he threw it, plunging the broken hilt deep into the dirt.
Riding the momentum of Lin Feng's throw, Zhou Yi vaulted into the air and landed lightly in the treetops.
Lin Feng also leaped up, his body soaring through the air as he rushed toward Zhou Yi.
This time, Lin Feng took the initiative, his figure transforming into a black streak that shot toward Zhou Yi in the blink of an eye. Seeing this, Zhou Yi counterattacked without the slightest hesitation.
His legs moved like lightning, delivering hundreds of kicks in an instant. Each kick carried a fierce, cutting wind that seemed to make the very air explode.
WHOOSH!
A dense flurry of afterimages from his kicks whistled through the air. If any of those kicks had landed on an ordinary Martial Artist, they would have been pummeled into a bloody pulp.
But just then, Lin Feng's body suddenly vanished. When his figure came back into view, it was with the shocking realization that he had somehow dodged Zhou Yi's attack.
BANG!
A loud bang was heard. Immediately after, Lin Feng was sent flying by one of Zhou Yi's punches. He crashed heavily to the ground, gouging out a seven- or eight-meter-long trench and sending dust flying everywhere.
Lin Feng struggled to his feet. Blood flowed endlessly from his chest, but his gaze was unshakeably firm.
CRACK!
He rolled his neck, and his joints let out a series of pops, like soybeans crackling in a pan.
"I told you, you're dead today!"
Zhou Yi said coldly. After speaking, his body once again blurred into a phantom and shot toward Lin Feng.
BANG!
Zhou Yi's right knee shot up, slamming violently into Lin Feng's chest and sending him flying backward.
PTUI!
Blood sprayed from his mouth. Lin Feng could no longer bear it, and his body crashed hard onto the ground.
"Haha."
Zhou Yi roared with triumphant laughter.
"Let me tell you, you'll never understand the gulf between us! Before me, you're utterly defenseless!"
Zhou Yi shouted with immense arrogance.
His target wasn't Lin Feng, because Lin Feng was already covered in wounds. His true target was Zhou Kang.
Lin Feng raised a blood-soaked hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He slowly got to his feet, his gaze icy as he stared at Zhou Yi. "Is that so?"
His tone was low and hoarse, seemingly laced with a hint of fury.
The moment the words left his mouth, Lin Feng kicked off the ground, his body shooting forward like a cannonball.
His fist was clenched tightly as he aimed a direct punch at Zhou Yi's head.
THUD!
Lin Feng's fist landed squarely on Zhou Yi's forehead, sending him flying backward.
PTUI!
Zhou Yi spat out another mouthful of fresh blood. He clutched his head, his face a mask of deep hatred. 'That damn bastard actually dared to sucker punch me! He deserves to die ten thousand deaths!'
But this time, Lin Feng did not press his attack. Instead, he walked slowly toward Zhou Yi.
Seeing Lin Feng's sinister gaze, Zhou Yi felt a sense of unease. His brows furrowed, and a vague, ominous premonition grew in his heart.
He watched the slowly approaching Lin Feng, and with his heart set on a desperate course of action, he thrust a dagger straight at Lin Feng's chest.
CLANG!
With the sound of ringing metal, the dagger in Zhou Yi's hand instantly snapped.
He seized the opportunity while Lin Feng was momentarily distracted to pull back and run. 'This Lin Feng is a damn brute, a wild bull! He doesn't use any techniques, just brute force against brute force!'
He was now thoroughly terrified of Lin Feng. His power was simply too tyrannical. Even without using any martial techniques, he was overwhelming. But that strength was truly formidable, and every one of his attacks was difficult for Zhou Yi to handle.
And most astonishingly, every one of Lin Feng's attacks landed precisely on the weak points of Zhou Yi's moves. In a sense, all of Zhou Yi's flaws had been completely exposed.
"Trying to run?"
Lin Feng sneered. His legs suddenly tensed, and his body shot out like a cannonball once more.
BANG!
Lin Feng's speed was demonic. Before Zhou Yi could even react, he had already viciously kicked him in the stomach.
UGH!
Zhou Yi's body flew backward. This time, he couldn't control his momentum and was sent flying over twenty meters before crashing heavily into a pine tree.
SNAP!
The pine tree snapped in two from the impact. Zhou Yi's body fell heavily to the ground. At that moment, his eyes were wide as saucers, and his face was completely flushed.
Lin Feng looked down at Zhou Yi from on high, then began walking toward him once more.
"You... How are you... still okay?"
Zhou Yi said in shock. He remembered with perfect clarity that he had just made Lin Feng spit up blood three consecutive times. Now, not only was he fine, but he was walking toward him full of life and vigor. It was simply a miracle.
"I told you. You talk too much."
Lin Feng said coolly. As he spoke, he tapped his toes lightly on the ground, and his figure shot toward Zhou Yi like a cannonball.
At this point, Zhou Yi could no longer afford to feel the pain. He knew that if he didn't fight back with everything he had, he would very likely fall at Lin Feng's hands today.
Therefore, Zhou Yi no longer hesitated. He moved swiftly, the rocks under his feet cracking and shattering. His body vanished in an instant, and his phantom-like figure shot out, fleeing from Lin Feng.
The two of them sped away, one in pursuit of the other, with Lin Feng following closely behind, unhurried.
They tore wildly along the mountain path, kicking up a massive cloud of dust and debris.
This was the back mountain of the Murong Family estate. On any normal day, no one was permitted to set foot here besides the Law Enforcement Team. Thus, in such a quiet and remote location, the battle between Zhou Yi and Lin Feng went unnoticed.
At this moment, Lin Feng's arms were trembling slightly. Such intense exertion was already pushing past the limits of what his body could endure in a short period, but he was still managing to control his breathing.
