Chapter 461: Obstruction
His attack, although it landed squarely on Li Xi's chest, didn't produce the spray of blood he had imagined. Instead, he felt it being blocked by a layer of resilient Qi Force.
The corners of Li Xi's mouth curled up into a cruel smile. He could completely withstand an attack like Lin Feng's at such close range.
The Cultivation Technique he was practicing now was, one could say, incredibly domineering. It could increase his body's toughness several times over, and his Body Technique was also quite profound.
To him, close-quarters combat like this was just a game.
Lin Feng's brow furrowed slightly. 'It seems this Li Xi is indeed no pushover, or he wouldn't be so arrogant. But none of that matters. I will eliminate Li Xi completely today. No matter who comes, no one can save him.'
Just as Lin Feng's palm was about to touch Li Xi's clothes, he suddenly felt an extremely dangerous aura wash over him.
With a thought, Lin Feng immediately retracted his right hand and shifted about three feet to the side. At the same time, Li Xi's right palm struck empty air.
CRACK!
A Palm Seal actually materialized on Li Xi's right palm.
Lin Feng's pupils constricted. 'I really didn't expect Li Xi's reaction to be so fast.'
'And that speed and explosive power... It's far beyond my expectations.'
Li Xi's expression instantly turned frighteningly dark. He was truly flying into a rage out of humiliation. He had just been about to deliver a fatal blow to Lin Feng.
But Lin Feng had dodged it in time. Worse, the lingering pain from the earlier palm strike now flared up, making him wince. 'How is this possible?'
'I definitely didn't hold back with that counter-blow. I even used a Secret Technique. That's how I injured him, yet I never expected it would only knock him back three steps.'
'Just how monstrously strong is this guy's body?'
Li Xi's face was ashen, his expression terrifyingly grim. He had already decided: once Lin Feng lost the ability to resist, he would torture him to death, bit by bit!
SWOOSH!
A sound of tearing air rushed toward him. Lin Feng looked up to see Li Xi charging at him once again.
Lin Feng's gaze sharpened. 'Although that sharp palm strike injured me, it wasn't fatal.' This realization made his confidence surge. 'After all, I'm a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect. I have nothing to fear.'
BANG!
Not to be outdone, Lin Feng met him head-on. The two clashed again, but this time, Lin Feng held the absolute initiative.
He threw punch after punch, whipping up a powerful gale. The whistling wind tore past, sweeping all the leaves from the treetops into the air.
Such a ferocious offensive forced Li Xi onto the defensive. But then, he noticed something was off. It seemed Lin Feng was merely probing with his attacks.
'What is this guy doing?'
Li Xi was baffled.
Lin Feng clearly had the overwhelming advantage, so why was he now choosing to dodge?
He really couldn't make sense of the situation. But soon, his heart sank. He discovered that Lin Feng had begun to counter-attack.
Li Xi froze for a moment, then immediately grew tense. Lin Feng's previous onslaught had been ferocious,
but it had lacked any real structure. It gave him the mistaken impression that Lin Feng was just toying with him.
A cold glint surged in his eyes. He had finally been provoked.
Lin Feng's actions infuriated him. In this entire world, no one had ever looked down on him like this—not even the Elders from other hidden factions.
And yet now, under these circumstances, Lin Feng was doing exactly that!
This behavior made his anger burn. He gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his arms. Instead of dodging, he also took a step forward.
As his foot landed, a furious gale rippled out, surging before Lin Feng's eyes as his figure instantly accelerated.
He was going to finish Lin Feng in one fell swoop.
Li Xi's figure vanished on the spot. Lin Feng's eyes narrowed; Li Xi was so fast that he couldn't track his movements at all.
Lin Feng didn't dare to be careless. In his perception, Li Xi was already right in front of him.
WHOOSH!
Li Xi's figure appeared abruptly, his right hand formed into a claw. A faint blue, cold light glinted at his fingertips as he clawed at Lin Feng's throat.
Lin Feng's expression changed slightly. 'Li Xi's strength is truly impressive. But since we've already started fighting, I have to subdue him first.'
'Otherwise, with his power, he could kill me in less than ten moves.'
BANG!
The two collided in mid-air with a heavy thud. The powerful impact sent Li Xi flying back several meters before he came to a stop.
Lin Feng hadn't come out unscathed, either. The head-on clash left his qi and blood churning, and both his arms were slightly numb.
"You're fast, but your foundation is too weak. Speed like that is useless against me."
Lin Feng's gaze grew colder. He had discovered that although Li Xi's attacks were sharp, the Inner Strength in his body felt somewhat unstable.
Right now, his opponent was relying completely on brute force. This meant that while Li Xi's attacks looked ferocious, they weren't actually that terrifying.
Hearing this, Li Xi's face became terrifyingly grim. He hadn't expected to have underestimated Lin Feng. He thought his last strike would be decisive, but Lin Feng had blocked it.
He could see it now: Lin Feng's strength was likely on par with his own.
BANG!
Another fist met fist. Using the force of the blow, Lin Feng's figure shot instantly toward Li Xi.
He flattened his palm into a knife-hand and chopped toward Li Xi. A wild wind burst forth, the powerful force even creating a piercing sonic boom.
"Hmph, you're courting death!"
Li Xi shouted coldly. He had long been gathering his power, and now he saw Lin Feng press the attack again.
A savage grin appeared on his face. 'If there's one thing I don't lack, it's stamina. I can wear Lin Feng down and kill him.'
At that moment, however, a sharp glint flashed in the depths of Lin Feng's eyes. The corners of his mouth tilted up. 'This is exactly what I wanted.'
'I also need a satisfying, all-out battle. Only then can I gain more enlightenment and achieve a breakthrough in my strength.'
And now that he had completely provoked Li Xi's anger, he had the perfect opponent. Though Li Xi wouldn't be easy to deal with, Lin Feng wasn't worried in the slightest.
This was because, although Li Xi appeared frenzied, he was actually playing a game of cat and mouse with Lin Feng.
Li Xi's attacks were incredibly fierce, but he was still holding back somewhat, as he had to leave himself an opening to change his moves.
After exchanging dozens of blows, he had long since discovered just how clever Lin Feng's techniques were.
