Chapter 400: This Person Must Die
Chapter 400: This Person Must Die
Seeing this, Li Zerui’s eyes almost popped out. "How is this possible? How can Lin Feng’s Fist Aura so easily crush mine? And it’s still heading towards me with such ferocity, unchanged. Impossible, impossible!"
Without time to think further, Li Zerui hurriedly tried to dodge at his fastest speed, but was still a tad too slow. The pale golden Fist Aura grazed Li Zerui’s right arm. Even with the protection of his True Qi, it didn’t result in a broken arm. However, Li Zerui still felt as if his entire right arm had been hit by a car!
At that moment, Li Zerui realized a truth. The strength he had always been proud of was really nothing in front of Lin Feng. Now he was completely on the defensive: not as fast as Lin Feng, his palm force not as strong, and his Fist Aura far less intimidating. How could he continue the fight like this...
Now looking at Lin Feng, Li Zerui felt as if he was staring at a monster. His own AAA-grade peak strength, which he had achieved through countless hardships, seemed insignificant in front of Lin Feng. He might not be taken down by Lin Feng quickly, but under these circumstances, he couldn’t last much longer. With no other options, he stealthily pressed the emergency call button.
Facing such a situation, Li Zerui had only one thought: to hold on until Uncle Li came to his rescue. Otherwise, he was truly in danger. The Lin Feng before him was a super freak. Only after reaching AAA-grade did he realize that each advancement at this stage was unimaginable. With the support of the Li Family’s all-out effort in providing Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicine, he had managed to reach this AAA-grade peak.
But Lin Feng, barely in his twenties, was even more formidable. "He’s not human, he’s a beast, a demon!" Li Zerui wondered which teacher could have trained such a monster.
However, before Li Zerui could dwell on his thoughts, Lin Feng moved again. Outraged by Li Zerui’s actions during the night, Lin Feng’s killing intent had been stoked. And since he had already resolved to eliminate a threat to himself, there was no reason to spare Li Zerui now that he had measured his strength. A mere new arrival at the AAA-grade peak—better to make it a quick battle.
Thinking this, Lin Feng’s speed increased again. With a "thump," he almost disappeared entirely, moving so fast that people couldn’t even react. In the air, a row of Lin Feng’s afterimages lingered, eerily uncanny and unfathomable. Then Lin Feng began to relentlessly launch countless Fist Auras at Li Zerui, closing in on him without stopping.
"Hu!"
"Hu!"
"Hu!"
...
Li Zerui, seeing Lin Feng charging at him once more, became extremely anxious. He had already pushed his Cultivation Power to the limit, preparing for Lin Feng’s upcoming onslaught. But witnessing Lin Feng sending out Fist Auras recklessly, Li Zerui’s heart nearly stopped.
Every cultivator knew a rule: projecting True Qi outside one’s body was a hallmark of AAA-grade, but it came at the cost of depleting one’s own True Qi, and the rate of consumption was significant. To maintain an ample supply of True Qi under normal circumstances, one would only use such techniques as Fist Aura and Knife Hand in crucial moments. Otherwise, relying solely on such techniques would quickly drain even the strongest of individuals.
Yet no one had ever seen the likes of Lin Feng before, flinging Fist Auras around as if they cost him nothing. Wasn’t he afraid of depleting all his True Qi?
But Li Zerui couldn’t afford to ponder that. Watching the Fist Auras flying towards him, he immediately became extra cautious to dodge them, fearing another hit. The brush with the Fist Aura earlier had been bad enough—if he took a direct hit, he was certain to be injured.
With this in mind, Li Zerui mustered all his energy and desperately started to dodge the onslaught of Fist Auras from Lin Feng.
But as Li Zerui busied himself with dodging Lin Feng’s Fist Auras, he overlooked Lin Feng himself. Just as Li Zerui finally managed to evade all of the Fist Auras, Lin Feng’s hand had unnoticeably pressed against his chest.
Seeing Lin Feng’s hand on his chest, Li Zerui was utterly stupefied. How did his hand get there...
"Thump!"
Lin Feng didn’t hesitate at all and immediately stimulated his True Qi, blasting Li Zerui away with a single palm strike. The strike sent Li Zerui flying dozens of meters before he crashed into a utility pole at the side of the road and finally came to a stop, collapsing to the ground in a heap.
The palm strike from Lin Feng had thoroughly confused Li Zerui, who had never imagined the true extent of Lin Feng’s strength. It was simply too preposterous—was he even human? In the Cultivation World, there had never been talk of such an individual—a man in his early twenties causing such a furor if word got out...
Moreover, Li Zerui was now fully aware of the severity of his injuries. It may have been just one palm, but Lin Feng’s strike had severely damaged all his internal organs. Had he not protected himself with True Qi, that single palm could have torn him to pieces.
"You..." Li Zerui struggled to his feet, suppressing the sweet taste of blood in his mouth without spitting it out, then stared at Lin Feng. All he wanted to know now was who Lin Feng really was—if he could survive today, he would defeat him no matter what in the future! Lin Feng would be his only enemy and rival!
"I am Lin Feng, Lin Feng is me!" Lin Feng naturally knew what Li Zerui was thinking, but he had no intention of sparing him now, so he didn’t want to waste words on a dying man.
"You... ah..." Hearing Lin Feng’s words, which amounted to saying nothing at all, Li Zerui was so infuriated that he could no longer control his injuries. He couldn’t hold back a mouthful of blood, which he sprayed out as he passed out on the spot.
"I still need to finish him off," Lin Feng muttered to himself as he approached to deal the lethal blow to Li Zerui, who lay on the ground. Lin Feng had never been one to hold back against anyone who threatened him. Having made this choice, it was time to pay the price for their actions.
Just as Lin Feng reached Li Zerui’s side and was lifting his hand, gleaming with a faint golden light, to deal the fatal blow, an ominous sensation forced him to abort the kill and vanish from the spot in an instant. This feeling was all too familiar to Lin Feng—the fatal danger he had encountered many times on the island.
As soon as Lin Feng left Li Zerui’s side, a Sword Qi swept over where Lin Feng had just been, splitting the air as if it were cleaved in two, and finally blasting a huge pit into the ground that was several dozen meters long and several meters deep!
Uncle Li, who wasn’t very tall and slightly plump, dressed in a plain white robe with graying temples but not a single wrinkle, had a round face that made everyone feel close to him. However, those who knew him knew he wasn’t easy to talk to. In fact, the Li Family hardly saw him, as he was mostly engaged in diligent cultivation, preparing to break through the Heavenly Dao and reach realms inconceivable to others.
With a mere Sword Qi, Uncle Li sent Lin Feng running and stood calmly beside Li Zerui. With an effortless wave, Li Zerui was lifted by an invisible hand, and with a few light touches in the air, Uncle Li roused him from unconsciousness.
Upon waking up and seeing Uncle Li after realizing he was suspended in the air, Li Zerui’s tension vanished, and he stopped struggling. With Uncle Li present, no problem couldn’t be solved. After all, with Uncle Li’s S-class status, there wasn’t anything he couldn’t handle!
Li Zerui internally celebrated his endurance; Uncle Li’s arrival meant he wouldn’t face any danger. He had never imagined he’d be in jeopardy, but now Lin Feng was finished. As long as Uncle Li made a move, anyone would perish—S-class masters’ power exceeded the limits of imagination, they were considered the ultimate beings among humans...
"Zerui, leave this place. It’s not suitable for you," Uncle Li said after glancing at Lin Feng. The fact that Lin Feng had dodged his Sword Qi showed he was well above the ordinary masters. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to react and move quickly enough to evade his attack.
And since Li Zerui had already been gravely injured by him, if his guess was accurate, that man must possess something special. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be so powerful at such a young age. Li Zerui had touched the peak of AAA-class at his age, which was already a miracle in the Cultivation World. The man before him seemed even younger than Li Zerui, which was rather peculiar, as he had never heard of such an astonishing phenomenon before.
So, it was inappropriate for Li Zerui to stay. Soon, he would have to engage with that young man in combat, and he wouldn’t be able to watch out for Li Zerui. It was better for him to go back and heal. With that in mind, Uncle Li asked Li Zerui to leave, not wanting to be distracted.
"Alright, Uncle Li, I’ll leave now. This man must be killed!" Li Zerui said and turned to leave, knowing Uncle Li’s preference for brevity. Since Uncle Li had taken over, there was no need for him to stay. It was better to leave and heal.
But just as he was about to leave, Li Zerui added that the man must be killed. Looking ahead at Lin Feng, Li Zerui’s eyes were filled with venomous hatred. It was all because of him that Ding Wan’er had left his side. He had to die!
Then, without looking back, Li Zerui forcibly circulated his True Qi and left swiftly, his body bearing the pain of injury. An S-class practitioner like Uncle Li was not someone just anyone could watch fight. It was easy to become collateral damage and die, so Li Zerui decided to just leave. No matter how powerful Lin Feng was, he couldn’t possibly be a match for Uncle Li.
