Chapter 438: Lure
BANG!
Two fists collided in an instant. Two formidable powers erupted, and the shockwave sent the surrounding ground and trees trembling.
Both men let out a stifled groan and took a step back in unison. The exchange was a draw!
Both men drew a sharp breath, their hearts filled with utter shock. That last collision was like a stone thrown into a placid pond, sending ripples through them.
Their hearts pounded in their chests, and their eyes were filled with horror. If they had harbored even a sliver of condescension before, it was now completely gone.
Both had come to fully recognize the other's strength. At that moment, the thought of retreat bloomed in both their minds.
Murong Yuan's hands were trembling slightly. He had actually come out at a disadvantage in that last exchange!
"Don't you run, boy!"
Lin Feng roared, his figure closing in like a phantom as he lunged at Murong Yuan again.
Murong Yuan's expression flickered. Finally, he grit his teeth, made his choice, and turned to flee!
"You can't escape, you old fossil!"
Lin Feng chased after him, laughing heartily. His speed was immense. In a flash, he was behind Murong Yuan, both fists swinging out, smashing toward Murong Yuan's back with unstoppable momentum!
The attack was ferocious, and Murong Yuan had no time to turn and defend himself. He could only take it head-on.
He ripped off a piece of his clothing and wrapped it around his fists.
The muscles on Murong Yuan's arms bulged as he swung his hands backward like two iron towers!
Lin Feng's fists smashed violently into Murong Yuan's!
BOOM!
A massive sound erupted as their bodies met and parted in an instant.
After landing, Murong Yuan felt his arms go numb. He staggered back several steps before steadying himself.
Lin Feng, however, had only taken a single step back.
Although Murong Yuan had blocked Lin Feng's attack, his arms still throbbed with a dull ache. It was a testament to the peerless power behind Lin Feng's punch!
The two men stared at each other from a distance, a sharp glint flashing in their eyes!
Once again, they shot into the air and engaged in a fierce battle!
BAM!
Gales of force blasted from their fists and palms as their movements grew faster and faster.
"Boy, I swear I'll sever both your arms today!"
Murong Yuan suddenly let out a savage grin. His right arm abruptly swelled, and his fist hammered down toward Lin Feng's head!
"Hmph. You think you can still win?"
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. He clenched his left hand into a fist and smashed it toward Murong Yuan's right arm.
CLANG!
A sound like ringing metal echoed as Lin Feng and Murong Yuan both slid back five or six meters.
Murong Yuan's arms trembled, his expression unstable. The last clash had left his arms in unbearable pain.
But Lin Feng wasn't in good shape either. That last exchange had exhausted all the Inner Strength in his body.
"Heh heh... Boy, you must be out of strength now, right?"
Murong Yuan chuckled coldly, his eyes glinting with excitement.
His cultivation level was much higher than Lin Feng's. He was confident he could end the fight within three moves!
Lin Feng gave Murong Yuan an indifferent glance and said flatly, "I've still got some fight left in me. If you want to continue, I'll see it through to the end!"
His tone was resolute. He would not admit defeat!
"Hmph!"
Murong Yuan snorted coldly and sneered, "Boy, you're too arrogant. I admit you're quite strong, but you're still a long way from matching a Martial King!"
Before his words had even faded, Murong Yuan shot into the air. He dove down like a cannonball, appearing above Lin Feng's head in the blink of an eye!
Murong Yuan kicked at Lin Feng's head. His kicking technique was vicious; getting hit would mean death or permanent disability!
Facing this terrifying blow, Lin Feng's eyes turned icy. He rapidly retreated to dodge Murong Yuan's kick, then swept his own leg out!
CRACK!
Murong Yuan's right arm was hit. A crisp cracking sound rang out, and a dark mark appeared on his skin, making his body suddenly go stiff!
"Bastard!"
Murong Yuan was furious. Lin Feng's last move had injured him, and he felt he had completely lost face!
He lunged down again, both hands clenched into fists, hammering down violently at Lin Feng!
Lin Feng crossed his arms in front of his chest to block the blow, using the force of the punch to retreat backward.
His arms trembled slightly. In that exchange, he was clearly at a disadvantage.
'So Murong Yuan's strength truly lives up to his reputation!' The light in Lin Feng's eyes grew even more intense.
This battle was proving quite rewarding; his understanding of martial arts had risen to another level.
Lin Feng didn't dare hesitate. He pressed his advantage!
He stomped hard on the ground and vanished. When he reappeared, his palm was already swiping across Murong Yuan's chest.
Murong Yuan's pupils shrank. He hastily retreated to evade Lin Feng's bizarre and unpredictable attack.
Lin Feng's palm strike hit nothing but air, but his momentum didn't stop. He immediately followed up with a kick!
BANG!
Unable to dodge in time, Murong Yuan took Lin Feng's kick to the abdomen, his body instantly doubling over.
PTUI!
Murong Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, but he seized the opportunity to throw a punch at Lin Feng!
BOOM!
Lin Feng raised a hand to parry. The immense force from the other sent them both stumbling back several steps.
Neither made another move. They both knew they had reached the end of their ropes. Continuing to fight now would be a futile effort.
They stared at each other from a distance, both seeing the wariness in the other's eyes.
"You little animal. I never thought you'd be such an eye-opener. Today, I have to admit, you are truly somebody. But you shouldn't have, you really shouldn't have, provoked me!"
Murong Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze filled with killing intent.
"Heh. In that case, why bother with the act? If you want to kill me, then get on with it. We've come this far—do you really think a few words from you are going to scare me?"
Lin Feng sneered, rolling his shoulders without a trace of fear.
"If that's how you want it, then I'll grant you your wish!"
Murong Yuan's face was as dark as water. His figure suddenly leaped up, and he thrust a palm toward Lin Feng's chest.
"Heh. You fell for it."
Lin Feng grinned. He had been waiting for Murong Yuan to take the offensive. He was going to give him a fatal blow!
He took a sudden half-step forward, his right hand shifting from a fist to a claw as he grabbed for Murong Yuan's throat!
This move was another variation of Lin Feng's Dragon Capturing Technique, called the Throat Lock!
Murong Yuan's pupils contracted violently. Lin Feng's move was simply too fast. Caught completely off guard, he could only hastily raise his hands to defend himself.
But Lin Feng had already anticipated this. His hand slipped smoothly through Murong Yuan's defense, heading straight for the vital point of his throat!
Murong Yuan could only watch, wide-eyed, as Lin Feng's fingers drew closer and closer to his Adam's apple!
