Chapter 319: You are from the Li Family!
"Bang!"
Li Dongtian was sent flying by Lin Feng once again, this time even worse, flying a good twenty meters away! And while in the air, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood!
"Pfft!"
Now, Li Dongtian felt as if his arms were practically broken from the pain. He really hadn’t expected this young man to be so formidable; even he, a peak-level AA external force user, couldn’t withstand such attacks. His heart was already chilling—he was certain he wouldn’t survive today; Chu Meng’s junior brother would certainly not spare him.
If that was the case, he could only resort to the desperate move he had. Although it would only last a few seconds and he had only one chance to strike, taking Chu Meng with him would make his death not in vain. As for this young man, it was impossible to take his life with one move.
With this in mind, Li Dongtian started planning how best to utilize his final moments. However, before he could think of anything, Lin Feng’s fist came at Li Dongtian once more. Seeing Lin Feng’s punch, Li Dongtian suddenly had an idea. As Lin Feng’s fist, thunderous as before, came barreling towards him again, Li Dongtian abruptly changed his direction, positioning his back towards where Chu Meng was.
"Bang!"
Without a doubt, Li Dongtian was sent flying again, this blow even more powerful than the previous two, breaking his breastbone, and sending him flying like a cannonball. Midair, Li Dongtian almost passed out from lack of air and the indescribable intense pain. Still, he managed to throw a pill into his mouth while airborne.
This pill was a unique secret medicine of the Li Family, given only to those who reached the AA level or above, and each person only got one. Because the medicine consumed all the user’s life force in a few seconds in exchange for a sudden increase in strength by several times, the pill was only to be used in a life-or-death situation. Very few wished to consume this pill unless they were truly desperate. Likewise, Li Dongtian had never imagined he would use this pill in Africa. Though unwilling, he had no other choice but to do it now.
After landing, Li Dongtian felt his body burning like fire, with seemingly inexhaustible strength. Without any hesitation, he sprung up from the ground, fists clenched, charging towards Chu Meng with a resolve of tragic ferocity. The Heaven-Reaching Fist was exerted to its limit, and it seemed as though the air was filled with illusions due to Li Dongtian’s rapid speed. He knew that if Chu Meng wasn’t dead within a few seconds, his own death today would have been in vain—so he put all his strength into this punch!
This is bad! After sending Li Dongtian flying, Lin Feng realized something was amiss, as Li Dongtian flew towards his senior sister. Then, catching a glimpse of Li Dongtian swallowing something and his body turning red, Lin Feng knew trouble was afoot. Without expecting to bring danger upon them, he knew he had to save his senior sister at all costs, lest she lose her life.
No time for second thoughts, Lin Feng disappeared from where he stood, then reappeared beside Chu Meng, knocking his senior sister out of harm’s way. In the rush, he mobilized all his cultivation power and met Li Dongtian’s dual fists head-on, sensing that his opponent’s strength had suddenly increased greatly. If he didn’t exert his full power, even he might be in danger.
"Clang!"
"Pfft!"
Sounding like a clash of metals, Lin Feng just barely blocked Li Dongtian’s punch with all his preparedness. However, his internal energy was starting to become chaotic, and a sweet taste emerged in his mouth. Li Dongtian’s outcome was even worse, as he was sent flying over twenty meters.
What’s more exaggerated is that the spot where the two had clashed was now a two meter wide crater, illustrating the ferocity of their impact.
Ultimately, Lin Feng couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He truly hadn’t expected this man to gain so much strength so suddenly, advancing his power to nearly S-level. If nothing else, it had to be related to that pill, but such a powerful medicine surely had side effects. Otherwise, why hadn’t he used it on himself from the start? As long as he could hold on, keeping his senior sister from being harmed, and wait for the man’s drug effect to subside, everything would be fine.
"Ah! Junior brother!" Never in her dreams had Chu Meng anticipated such a sudden turn of events during a seemingly secured victory. If not for her junior brother knocking her away, that man’s punches would have definitely shattered her. But now, it was her junior brother who had been struck and spat blood to protect her. She could see he was severely wounded and was extremely worried about him. With these thoughts, Chu Meng disregarded everything else and ran towards Lin Feng to see just how bad his injuries were.
Li Dongtian watched the young man before him in utter amazement, having never expected that this youth could withstand his recent attack. He knew his power had increased multiple-fold, bringing him almost at par with an S-tier level of strength, yet it hadn’t fazed the young man. How was this possible? With his current strength, even a AAA-grade expert should have been unable to block it, let alone such a young person!
Seeing Chu Meng running towards her junior brother, without thinking, Li Dongtian’s fist instantly hurtled towards Chu Meng’s back. With only seconds to spare, he needed to make the most of this brief window of opportunity. If he was to die, he might as well take someone with him—especially since Chu Meng was his target. If he couldn’t take her back, killing her would at least mean completing his mission, and he estimated this punch would likely be his last.
With this thought, Li Dongtian concentrated all his strength into this one punch. Accompanied by a whistling sound tearing through the air and dust billowing from the ground, the punch propelled towards Chu Meng’s back with malevolent force; should it hit her, she would surely die without a doubt!
Lin Feng had been keeping a close watch on Li Dongtian the whole time. Seeing his senior sister running towards him out of concern for his wellbeing, Lin Feng shook his head helplessly and surged forward, positioning his senior sister behind him. He too gathered all his True Qi into his fist and met Li Dongtian’s punch with full force, delivering a mighty blow against him.
"Clang!"
"Pfft!"
Lin Feng didn’t budge an inch, his breathing only slightly more erratic than before, but Li Dongtian was sent flying by Lin Feng’s punch. Blood mist sprayed from Li Dongtian as he hung in the air, and the red glow enveloping his body began to dim...
Li Dongtian couldn’t believe what was unfolding before him. A young man in his early twenties withstanding two of his powerful blows, multiplied in strength and not dying—such a person shouldn’t exist. The burst of power he had just unleashed was nearly at an S-tier, and yet, this man withstood both punches without death; he truly wasn’t human, for a regular person couldn’t possibly accomplish this!
Nobody had ever heard of a cultivator with such divine talent! To have achieved so much at such a young age was beyond the realm of a prodigy; he wasn’t just a genius, he was a genius among geniuses—a godly genius!
What infuriated him more was that his plan to kill Chu Meng as he died hadn’t succeeded; it was all ruined by this Lin Feng!
Li Dongtian, lying on the ground, felt his strength ebbing away at a rapid pace. Knowing his end was approaching, he was desperate to find out who Lin Feng was; otherwise, he would die with his eyes open in discontent. Such an abnormal youth had never been heard of within any Prominent Family. To say he was a Loose Cultivator was even less likely. Young masters like them were raised with countless Spiritual Medicines—beyond the reach of a Loose Cultivator. Only the jeunesse doree of the Prominent Families enjoyed such treatment.
This young man, at his tender age, already wielded such exaggerated power. Li Dongtian had reached an AA-tier pinnacle and hadn’t been able to defeat him. Even after consuming a secret medicinal pill, elevating his strength close to an S-tier, he couldn’t lay a finger on Lin Feng, who easily parried his attacks... it was terrifying. What level was he really at...?
If given time, the heights Lin Feng could reach were unthinkable. If the various Prominent Families learned of such a young individual’s existence, they would surely spare no expense to win him over. Even the Young Patriarch of the Li Family couldn’t compare to him. Unless something unexpected occurred, Lin Feng was undoubtedly destined to be the first among the younger generation...
"You..." Li Dongtian, watching Lin Feng slowly approach, wanted to ask about his true identity, so that he could die with some understanding.
"There’s no need to ask who I am. Now that I know you’re from the Li Family, had you not taken that pill, I might not have recognized you. But you’re about to die, aren’t you?" Lin Feng understood what Li Dongtian wanted to ask, but truthfully, there was no need for further talk with a man close to death.
When the red glow faded from Li Dongtian, Lin Feng remembered the short-term pill that could stimulate one’s potential dramatically, available only in the Li Family amongst the four great Prominent Families. This kind of pill sacrificed all of one’s life force to multiply strength several times over for just a few seconds, and once the effect expired, the user would die from total weakness and respiratory failure.
His cheap master had once told him always to be wary of the Li Family’s people, for they could consume this pill and fight to the death if they were losing. One had to be very careful, or it could prove fatal. Reflecting on what had just occurred made Lin Feng break out in a cold sweat. He was fortunate to have shown no mercy to his enemy, or else he would have been beaten to death by those punches. His senior sister would also have been at risk. As it turned out, he only sustained some internal injuries that weren’t severe and could be recovered from in a short time and a safe place. Considering the circumstances, this was the best possible outcome!
