The Capital's Dragon Doctor

"Kid, if you kneel and beg for mercy right now, I might consider letting you live."

Seeing Lin Feng lying motionless on the ground, the killing intent in Li Xi's eyes flared for a moment before vanishing. He then sneered and closed in again.

"Heh. And what makes you think you're worthy?"

Lin Feng shot him a cold glance, then slowly pushed himself to his feet. A wicked smirk played on his lips. "You… think you're worthy?"

Hearing this, Li Xi's expression turned utterly savage. A sense of humiliation washed over him, and he wished he could tear Lin Feng to pieces on the spot.

"Since you want to do this the hard way, I'll just break all your limbs and feed you to the dogs!"

Li Xi said coldly. In the next instant, he moved with incredible speed, appearing right beside Lin Feng. He then swung his iron-like fist, aiming to smash it into Lin Feng's head.

'Lin Feng's strength is a bit strange, I'll give him that,' he thought. 'But my cultivation level is what it is. There's no way he can withstand a punch with my full power!'

At this thought, a cruel smile tugged at the corner of Li Xi's mouth.

WHOOSH~

The wind from his fist cut sharply through the air. Li Xi could even hear the sound of it tearing through the void.

But Lin Feng didn't move an inch, quietly waiting for Li Xi's fist to land.

"Haha, you little bastard! Scared stupid, are you? And you dared to challenge me!"

Seeing Lin Feng make no move, Li Xi burst out laughing, a mocking expression on his face.

However, just as his iron fist was inches from Lin Feng's face, the seemingly frozen Lin Feng suddenly moved.

Lin Feng sidestepped, smoothly dodging Li Xi's attack.

"Hm?"

Seeing this, Li Xi's brow furrowed in confusion.

'Logically, in this situation, Lin Feng should have met my attack head-on, trading blows and risking his life. Why would he make such a bizarre move?'

'And he actually managed to dodge it at such a close range?!'

But Li Xi couldn't be bothered to think about it. He immediately threw out a whip kick, sweeping it toward Lin Feng.

The kick was vicious and sharp; if it connected, it would undoubtedly cripple its target.

Lin Feng's gaze sharpened. With a flash, he continued to charge toward Li Xi, seeming to completely disregard his attack.

WHUMP!

Li Xi's kick hit nothing but air with a dull sound.

"You're courting death!"

Li Xi roared, pouncing like a cheetah. His right hand formed a claw and clamped down hard on Lin Feng's shoulder, intending to crush him alive!

To his astonishment, however, Lin Feng's shoulder blade felt like it was forged from steel. His right hand couldn't make it budge in the slightest!

CRACK!

The next second, Lin Feng's left arm shot up, slamming viciously into Li Xi's side.

"Ah!"

Li Xi cried out in pain. A sharp, searing pain shot through his side. He quickly looked down, horrified to see that the clothes over his waist were destroyed. Blood was flowing freely, and the skin on his side was scorched black.

"Bastard!"

Li Xi was furious. He sprang to his feet and glared at Lin Feng, wishing he could tear him to shreds right then and there!

"You dare sneak attack me!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged on his forehead. He was clearly enraged.

"A sneak attack? Heh."

Lin Feng just shook his head and chuckled. "Did you think I was an idiot? Why would I risk my life to fight you head-on if I wasn't absolutely confident?"

Li Xi's eyes narrowed, his gaze turning icy. He stared at Lin Feng and sneered.

"You're just relying on a few cheap tricks!"

"Heh, your Cultivation Technique is impressive, but it's a shame you ran into me," Lin Feng said lightly, grinning to reveal his white teeth.

"Today, I will take your head!"

A grim killing intent shot from Li Xi's eyes.

But Lin Feng remained calm. "Enough talk," he said coolly. "Let's fight."

"How bold!"

Li Xi flew into a rage and charged forward again, his right leg sweeping out with immense power!

BANG!

This time, Lin Feng didn't dodge. Instead, he raised his arm to block, and a loud crack erupted at the point of impact.

The next second, Li Xi's body trembled and he was forced back three steps. Lin Feng, however, was completely unharmed, though the ground beneath his feet had cracked.

Seeing this, Li Xi's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. He couldn't believe that Lin Feng had blocked his fully charged attack so easily.

"How is that possible?"

Li Xi mumbled in disbelief, staring at Lin Feng with resentment.

Just then, a cold glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He suddenly threw a punch, aiming straight for Li Xi's face!

"Damn it!"

Li Xi shrieked in anger, hastily raising his other hand to protect his head and block the blow.

But there was no way Li Xi could block a blow Lin Feng had been planning for so long!

POW!

With a loud bang, Li Xi's body was sent flying back several meters before he managed to stabilize himself, a look of complete surprise on his face.

"A mere Late Stage of Innate Martial Artist… is actually able to trade blows with me?"

"It seems I truly underestimated you."

Li Xi said grimly. Although Lin Feng had just easily neutralized his attack, he wasn't completely without a way to fight back. 'At the very least, I've figured out his patterns!'

'Lin Feng's defense is too formidable; my attacks can't hurt him at all. Meanwhile, Lin Feng's own attacks aren't having much effect. We're basically at a stalemate!'

"Hmph! Don't get cocky, kid. You think I can't handle you? I'm going to slice you into a thousand pieces and torture you to death!"

A crazed look appeared on Li Xi's face. His body tensed, muscles bulging as his eyes turned blood-red.

"Die!"

In the next instant, Li Xi leaped high into the air and dove down like a hawk snatching its prey, launching a fatal strike at Lin Feng!

SWOOSH!

Li Xi's figure shot through the air like a cannonball, accompanied by a terrifying sonic boom.

Lin Feng's gaze grew solemn. The True Qi inside him surged as he planted his feet, his body standing as rigid as a javelin.

THUD!

Li Xi formed his hands into claws and lunged, his nails as sharp as eagle talons, whistling through the air as they aimed for Lin Feng's throat.

However, in the instant before his palms touched Lin Feng's skin, Lin Feng suddenly moved.

Lin Feng's fingers splayed open, lashing out toward Li Xi like five steel blades.

Li Xi's expression changed slightly. Lin Feng's speed had clearly surpassed his expectations. But he didn't panic; he bent his legs and drove his knee fiercely toward Lin Feng's chest!

BOOM!

The next moment, Li Xi's knee collided with Lin Feng's chest with a dull thud. A massive shockwave radiated out from the point of contact.
