Chapter 416: Stunned
Murong Yuan snorted, flexed his arms, and shot toward Lin Feng like a cannonball.
And just as the two clashed violently once more, a vicious wave of force suddenly struck at Lin Feng.
BAM!
Lin Feng took a punch to the chest from Murong Yuan, and a piercing pain instantly washed over him.
However, Lin Feng's face showed not a hint of pain. He merely stared coldly at Murong Yuan, the corner of his mouth curling into a cruel smile.
"Is that all the strength you have?"
A look of astonishment flashed across Murong Yuan's face. Although Lin Feng had taken his punch, he showed no other signs of injury.
This made him sigh inwardly at the monstrous talent. 'Truly a Martial Artist of extraordinary gifts!'
"Hmph, that was just a warmup. I'd like to see how many of my moves you can take."
Murong Yuan sneered. Immediately after, a majestic surge of Inner Strength poured violently into his arm, causing the entire limb to swell by a size.
SWOOSH!
Then, Murong Yuan's feet moved, and he appeared like a phantom on Lin Feng's left, his right leg sweeping out like a steel whip.
Lin Feng's expression tightened. He raised his arms to shield his sides, blocking Murong Yuan's attack, but this time he was knocked off balance and stumbled back several steps. A dull ache throbbed in the webbing between his thumbs and forefingers.
"Hahaha, what's wrong? Can't keep up? Is this the power you're so proud of? Pathetically weak!"
Murong Yuan laughed triumphantly. His power was extremely profound, and he had no fear of Lin Feng engaging him in a battle of brute force. Thus, in this brief exchange, Lin Feng had already fallen into a disadvantage.
"Oh yeah?"
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. After spitting out those two words, he transformed into a black shadow and lunged forward.
THWACK!
Caught off guard, Murong Yuan took a vicious punch to the chest from Lin Feng and stumbled back several steps once again.
"Dammit!"
Humiliated and enraged, Murong Yuan felt the tightness in his chest, his eyes filled with a savage expression.
He truly hadn't expected Lin Feng to seize an opportunity from a single moment of carelessness.
But he was, after all, a peak late-stage Innate Realm Martial Artist. His power level was the same as Lin Feng's, but because he was still in his peak condition, he was relatively a bit stronger.
In such a state, he naturally wouldn't show any weakness. He immediately circulated all the Inner Strength in his body and closed the distance again, preparing to deal Lin Feng a fatal blow.
"Die!"
Murong Yuan's iron fist smashed viciously toward Lin Feng's head, but this time, he didn't get his way.
There was a sharp whoosh as Lin Feng's head snapped to the side, dodging Murong Yuan's attack.
Murong Yuan froze for a moment. He had clearly locked onto Lin Feng's head, but he had missed by just a hair's breadth. It was too bizarre that he had managed to avoid it.
However, his attack was already in motion and impossible to stop, so he could only continue to press forward aggressively.
At the same time, he had come to understand Lin Feng's incredibly bizarre fighting style—one where he could land a punch through the slightest opening. So now, Murong Yuan was extremely cautious, not daring to give Lin Feng any chance at all.
BAM!
With a loud bang, the two exchanged blows, ferocious Inner Strength raging around them.
BAM!
Their movements grew faster and faster until only two blurred afterimages could be seen, their bodies dancing through the air, neither giving an inch.
Murong Yuan's attacks became more frantic. He had seized the initiative, and if he had just ten more seconds, Lin Feng's defeat would be certain.
BAM!
A heavy punch slammed into Lin Feng's chest. Lin Feng's body tilted backward as a trickle of scarlet blood leaked from the corner of his mouth. Looking at Murong Yuan, his gaze grew even colder.
A treacherous, triumphant smile played on Murong Yuan's lips, but it immediately froze, replaced by an expression of utter disbelief.
Lin Feng pushed himself up slowly with one hand, wiped the blood from his mouth, and bared his pearly white teeth in a grin.
"We're just getting started."
Lin Feng spoke lightly, as if the last punch truly hadn't caused him any effective damage.
Murong Yuan's pupils shrank violently, his heart filled with horror. He never would have imagined that Lin Feng's physical body was so powerful. He had clearly hit a relatively vulnerable spot, yet he still couldn't do anything to him.
"Heh, not bad. You really do have a few tricks up your sleeve."
But Murong Yuan quickly recovered from his surprise. He licked his lips, a fiery glint appearing in his eyes.
He suddenly felt a surge of excitement. This opponent, Lin Feng, was far stronger than he had anticipated, and he also possessed an extraordinary method of physical cultivation. This made him eager to continue.
"You're very interesting. I hope you can still manage a smile when I'm crushing your skull."
The moment he finished speaking, he transformed into a black shadow and rapidly closed in on Lin Feng. He raised both fists high, smashing them down toward the top of Lin Feng's head with a whistling roar.
The might of this punch was even greater than before.
Murong Yuan knew that their strengths had now reached a certain equilibrium.
If he wanted to win, his only option was to take Lin Feng down completely in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if this entanglement continued, he would surely be the one to lose out.
So he decided to unleash his ultimate, trump-card technique!
In an instant, a terrifying aura erupted from Murong Yuan's body, powerful enough to make one's heart pound in fear.
"Wave-Breaking Fist!"
Murong Yuan bellowed, and the Inner Strength in his body circulated along a peculiar path, instantly spreading throughout his entire frame.
BOOM!
Following Murong Yuan's roar, his right fist instantly exploded into a sky full of fist-shadows, each one as wide as a millstone.
The dense mass of fist-shadows blotted out the sky, surging toward Lin Feng like ocean waves whipped up by a hurricane, leaving him with nowhere to run.
Faced with Murong Yuan's offensive, Lin Feng's reaction remained as calm as still water. His eyes slowly narrowed, and then a chilling glint, enough to make one shudder, flashed within them.
"Bring it on!"
A dazzling light erupted from Lin Feng's eyes. He took a deep breath, then shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow.
In the next instant, his toes dug sharply into the ground, causing his speed to surge explosively as he rushed toward Murong Yuan like a phantom.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Murong Yuan. He then clenched both fists and met the attack head-on. The two sets of fists collided brutally, creating a series of sounds like metal striking stone.
CRACK!
A dreadfully muffled sound came from their fists. Lin Feng's body swayed, and a hint of paleness appeared on his face.
His right arm trembled violently for a moment, then returned to normal, as if nothing had happened at all.
HISS!
Murong Yuan's expression also became somewhat savage. He felt as if his entire arm had been dislocated, the pain was immense.
He stared at Lin Feng, his eyes filled with shock. Lin Feng's strength had actually increased another level from just a moment ago!
