Chapter 73 – Sufficient firepower coverage ammunition
"You guys are asking for it!"
Seeing Wu Tugu being surrounded by a joint attack, the hook-nosed man and the two-meter giant simultaneously moved forward to rescue him.
Lin Feng and Zhan Hongling were already prepared.
"You pick one," Zhan Hongling gave Lin Feng the choice of opponent.
He thought Lin Feng would choose the two-meter giant since true experts don't judge by size, and the hook-nosed man's aura was stronger than the giant's, clearly making him the toughest boss.
However, Lin Feng unexpectedly said, "I'll leave the big guy to you."
"You want to take on Sai Ban? He's not easy to deal with, let me handle him," Zhan Hongling offered kindly.
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "That big guy looks like he has high vitality, my Flying Needle Technique probably won't work well on him. You hold him off for me, and I'll deal with Sai Ban and come help you immediately."
With that, he charged towards Sai Ban.
"This kid is boasting too much, acting like Sai Ban is nothing. Hope he doesn't end up crying for my help," Zhan Hongling thought, not fully aware of Lin Feng's true strength. Their last encounter was more of a spar.
She initially planned to take on Sai Ban, but Lin Feng left no room for discussion, so she had to deal with the giant Jin Hengluo first.
Seeing Lin Feng rushing towards him, Sai Ban showed a disdainful expression.
"A mere third-rate trash dares to block me, truly ignorant of the world!"
Sai Ban said as he gathered palm strength in his hand and unleashed a strike towards Lin Feng.
The powerful internal energy transformed into a palm force, creating a gust on the ground, leaves swirling, and the palm wind howling.
Releasing internal energy to launch a long-range attack with close combat martial arts is a feat only achievable by experts with strong internal energy.
Experts often don't need to touch their opponents to kill them, sometimes even a trace of internal energy can instantly kill an enemy from dozens of meters away.
However, Sai Ban clearly hadn't reached that level. His external release of internal energy was purely forced by his strong foundation, like someone who just learned a flashy move but wasn't proficient, yet wanted to show off.
In simple terms, he underestimated Lin Feng, intending to casually kill him to shock everyone.
In essence, he wanted to show off.
But Lin Feng wasn't someone easily controlled. He wasn't afraid of the palm force, charging straight ahead, while his long knife slashed through the air.
With one slash, he extinguished Sai Ban's unskilled palm wind, and with his other hand, he even had time to shoot a steel needle.
Sai Ban didn't expect Lin Feng to be so bold, caught off guard, he hurriedly dodged, but was a beat too slow, his arm grazed by the steel needle, piercing the flesh, blood flowing.
"-600!"
Seeing the damage floating above Sai Ban's head, Lin Feng thought to himself that it was tricky. This damage was only from the Flying Needle Technique, indicating his force couldn't break Sai Ban's defense.

....
As expected, in terms of attributes, Sai Ban was much stronger than Wu Tugu.
With such attributes, no wonder Sai Ban could be the boss. It might take Chasing Wind to suppress him.
However, Lin Feng wasn't someone who easily conceded. After continuously honing his skills, if he backed off just because of high attributes, his hard work would be meaningless.
He might as well throw a Qi Observation Technique before every fight, and if the opponent's defense was high, just turn and run.
High defense values mean normal attacks can't break through, but that's limited to ordinary areas. If he could hit a critical or weak point, the opponent would still get hurt.
Moreover, there were skills.
Lin Feng calmed his mind, his steps not pausing, already closing in.
Draw the knife! Slash!
Sai Ban wasn't easy prey. Suffering a minor loss, he didn't take it seriously, instead igniting his desire to kill.
His figure twisted like a spirit snake, skillfully avoiding Lin Feng's blade, while secretly raising his hand to shoot three thin needles from his sleeve!
"Three Corpse Poison Needle!"
Lin Feng's eyelids twitched, reacting at the limit to block with his knife, hearing three clinks as three green needles fell to the ground.
The knife blade where the needles struck began to show signs of corrosion, quickly forming three green spots, even showing rust.
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that if he had been hit by all three needles, he wouldn't die but would definitely suffer.
But before he could catch his breath, Sai Ban attacked again.
Taking advantage of Lin Feng's moment of retracting his knife, he slapped his shoulder hard.
"Hundred Poison Soft Palm!"
Lin Feng was hit on the spot, his figure retreating dozens of steps.
"-1250! Poison effect triggered!"
"Poisoned: Lose 30 health per second, lasts 60 seconds!"
"Due to your 10% poison resistance, health loss reduced to 27 points."
Damn! Living hell!
Seeing his health bar drop by a third and still decreasing, Lin Feng couldn't believe it.
This poison effect meant losing another 1600 health.
With a health bar of 3200, just one palm strike nearly depleted it. How could he fight?
Fortunately, he wasn't hit in a critical or weak point, otherwise, Lin Feng felt one life wouldn't be enough for the poison to drain.
He quickly took out three pills from his waist, one greenish-blue, one light red, and one deep red.
These three pills were Detoxification Pill, Blood Restoration Pill, and Power Boost Elixir.
The Detoxification Pill was something he bought in the Capital City in advance, knowing the opponent was skilled in poison, he couldn't be unprepared.
Unfortunately, this Detoxification Pill was only a Common Grade Elixir, only immune to 30% of the poison damage.
But it was better than nothing, reducing his health loss by four or five hundred, plus the Blood Restoration Pill, he could barely recover a thousand points.
But the premise was he couldn't take such damage again, otherwise, the elixirs wouldn't be enough.
Steadying his mind, Lin Feng became more focused, knowing he couldn't afford to get close in combat.
Lin Feng decisively retreated, simultaneously throwing steel needles.
Facing the needles head-on, Sai Ban, without interference, easily dodged.
Lin Feng didn't give up, continuing to throw needles.
Sai Ban sneered, also throwing thin needles.
The two engaged in a hidden weapon duel, shooting intensely while constantly dodging.
However, Sai Ban's poison needles were extremely difficult to make, with limited quantity, and he had used quite a few on his way to the Central Plains, leaving only ten.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng's steel needles were easy to make, and he understood the truth that all fear stems from insufficient firepower.
So when he arrived in the Capital City, he ordered two thousand needles from the Blacksmith Shop.
He even got a VIP membership, buying two thousand and getting two hundred free.
He had ample ammunition and firepower coverage.
When Sai Ban ran out of ammo, Lin Feng felt no pressure, throwing steel needles at Sai Ban like they were free.
Sai Ban dodged for a while, realizing Lin Feng had no intention of stopping.
He couldn't help but want to shout, "Buddy, aren't you done yet???"
