The Capital's Dragon Doctor

But now, Li Xi had no other choice. Since Lin Feng dared to provoke him, he could only see this through to the end.

With a furious roar, Li Xi swung his arms and rushed to meet Lin Feng. He refused to believe it.

'How could an Early Stage Grandmaster like me be completely suppressed by a Martial Artist at the Peak of the Late Stage of the Innate realm through pure technique?!'

Two streaks of green light intertwined in the night sky. Li Xi's hands, like iron hooks, clawed for Lin Feng's arms. He planned to rip them off before twisting Lin Feng's head into a pretzel.

Lin Feng's brow furrowed. His figure flickered as he dodged Li Xi's attack, and just as Li Xi's claws grasped at empty air...

...he swiftly dropped into a crouch. He then shot his knee upward, ramming it toward Li Xi's abdomen.

The knee strike was incredibly fast and packed with power, as if a mountain were bearing down on him.

'Damn it, what is with this kid!'

Li Xi cursed inwardly. He'd never imagined Lin Feng could be so nimble, with reflexes so fast they completely defied his expectations.

'He knew Lin Feng's strength was beyond his estimations; he had to act now!'

He ducked his head violently, lowering it below his knees to evade Lin Feng's heavy, powerful knee strike.

Lin Feng's knee grazed past Li Xi's forehead. Seizing the opportunity, Li Xi drove both fists straight toward Lin Feng's shoulders.

His punches were incredibly fast and powerful, aimed at crippling Lin Feng's arms.

A savage expression twisted Li Xi's face. He was certain Lin Feng wouldn't be able to withstand the full force of his attack.

Yet Lin Feng remained standing there, seemingly oblivious, quietly waiting for Li Xi's fists.

The massive fists drew closer and closer. Just as they were about to smash into Lin Feng's shoulder blades, Lin Feng suddenly moved.

He shot his arms upward, intercepting Li Xi's fists. Then, with a slight bend of his arms, he employed the force-redirecting technique of the Tai Chi Fist to perfection, deflecting the ferocious attack to one side.

With his hands trapped by Lin Feng, Li Xi's expression changed slightly, but he still struggled with all his might to break free.

But Lin Feng's arms were like iron chains, locking him in place and preventing him from moving an inch.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Feng suddenly released his grip, pulled his hands back, clenched his fists, and slammed them violently into Li Xi's right shoulder!

The immense force sent him sliding backward, but Lin Feng didn't let up, pressing his frenzied attack with even greater power.

Li Xi's arms were pinned by Lin Feng, completely immobile. He understood then that Lin Feng had no intention of letting him go. It was clear he intended to cripple him.

Li Xi's expression flickered between pale and grim. He continuously circulated his internal energy, trying to blast Lin Feng away, but found that the more he struggled, the closer Lin Feng stuck to him.

'This kid… he clearly plans to pin me down until I'm finished!'

Feeling his arms, which had gone numb from the agonizing pain, Li Xi's expression was grim.

'He'd never imagined Lin Feng could be so tenacious, fighting as if he had a death wish.'

BAM!

Another loud bang echoed as Lin Feng kicked Li Xi's legs out from under him, sending him flying before he crashed hard onto the ground.

GACK!

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and Li Xi's face turned deathly pale. He had never imagined things would turn out like this.

'This Lin Feng isn't just fast; his strength is terrifying.'

"AARGH! Kid, I'll kill you!"

Seething with rage, Li Xi's arms trembled violently as he kicked his legs against the ground, struggling with all his might to get up.

His heart swelled with resentment and indignation. To think that a dignified Grandmaster was being pushed this far by a mere fledgling at the Late Stage of the Innate realm! The humiliation made him want to die of shame.

"No wonder Li Yi and the others died at your hands."

"Such combat prowess is rare indeed."

Slowly rising to his feet, Li Xi wiped the blood from his lips. His eyes, fixed on Lin Feng, were bloodshot. He had never suffered such a defeat, to be so thoroughly suppressed by Lin Feng.

"Kid, I'll kill you here and now, even if it's the last thing I do!"

Li Xi bellowed and charged toward Lin Feng, his feet a blur. He flicked his wrists, sending one fist high and the other low in a strike aimed at Lin Feng's vital points.

Lin Feng's brow furrowed. The power behind his opponent's attack was immense, but Lin Feng didn't choose to retreat. Instead, he lunged forward, charging straight at Li Xi.

For a moment, Li Xi's eyes narrowed. He had never encountered a Martial Artist with such audacity.

A bloodthirsty, scarlet light flickered in Li Xi's eyes. At that moment, he seemed to transform into a War God.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Lin Feng crossed his arms to shield his chest, blocking every one of Li Xi's strikes. But under the relentless barrage, he was gradually put on the defensive, forced back step by step.

"Haha! I told you, you're dead today! Do you think you can insult the Li Family and get away with it?"

Seeing Lin Feng on the back foot, Li Xi was ecstatic. Even though Lin Feng had managed to block his fists, he remained calm and unhurried.

'Lin Feng's techniques were bizarre and crafty, but they were still just techniques. In the face of absolute power, all of it was useless.'

A glint flashed in his eyes as his right index finger shot out, stabbing toward Lin Feng's throat in an attempt to finish him off.

But instead of retreating, Lin Feng advanced. With a sudden shove, he sent Li Xi stumbling back several meters.

When Li Xi saw Lin Feng take the offensive, a cruel smile touched his lips. 'Now *this* is more like it. For a second there, I thought he might actually have another trick up his sleeve.'

BANG!

Li Xi slid back five or six steps from the force of the push before he managed to stop. But just as he was about to lunge forward again, Lin Feng had already beaten him to it, charging toward him.

Not hesitating, Li Xi met his charge, and the two were instantly entangled again. He knew that in a battle of attrition, Lin Feng would be the first to break.

All he had to do was stall for a few minutes until the other Li Family disciples arrived, and Lin Feng's death would be certain. Therefore, their current struggle wasn't a true contest of skill, but a war of attrition.

Lin Feng threw a punch that whistled through the air as it shot toward Li Xi's chest. His eyes were cold; this was his strongest punch yet.

Li Xi's gaze was like ice. He swept his arms out in a wide arc, generating a whistling gale.

His arms, like steel whips, cut through the air with a piercing shriek as they met Lin Feng's attack. He clearly intended to meet force with force.

Seeing Li Xi's move, a sneer tugged at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth.
