Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 564: Battle Against Liu Hong (Seventh Update)

"Lin Feng, prepare to die!" Liu Hong held a short sword, and his confidence surged. Although he was a master of medical arts, he was also an S-level master. Through medical practice, his understanding of the human body was extraordinarily thorough. Moreover, he had treated many masters and acquired numerous martial arts techniques from them. Coupled with his own S-level strength, he was invincible. In a worst-case scenario, he also had an abundance of super spiritual medicine he had concocted himself. With all this combined, losing was simply not an option for him!

Considering the above, Liu Hong believed that no matter the circumstances, facing any enemy, he was fearless—even if the Old Monster who oversaw Capital City attacked, he was confident he could escape. But facing him, Lin Feng didn’t show any fear at all. Liu Hong wondered if Lin Feng was ignorant or simply an idiot. Lin Feng was not preparing at all to face him, an S-level master. In that case, there was no need for pleasantries. He would simply defeat him and forcefully extract the information.

Liu Hong was exceedingly confident in his medical skills. As long as Lin Feng wasn’t dead, he could mercilessly pry the location of the Ancient Exotic Jade right out of Lin Feng’s mouth. No one could withstand his interrogation techniques.

With that in mind, Liu Hong gripped the Qingming Sword, pointing its tip towards Lin Feng.

"Bang!"

"Ming..."

Breaking into sudden force, Liu Hong’s feet stamped onto the ground, creating a crater nearly four to five meters in diameter. Accompanied by the sound of the sword’s cry, his whole being, like a phantom from nowhere, whistled as he thrust toward Lin Feng. The blade was almost imperceptible, spanning the two to three hundred meters between them as if they were nothing. The momentum of his strike was fierce as if it could pierce through space itself, annihilating everything the sword pointed at!

The extreme speed even formed a brief vacuum behind Liu Hong. As he passed, the grass and twigs disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a green trail like a dragon in his wake.

Liu Hong felt very smug; this attack was his signature move, Shocking Rainbow Sword! He had honed it to perfection. Once unleashed, even an S-level master would not dare to resist directly but would have to dodge. If he hadn’t wanted to end things quickly and retrieve the Ancient Exotic Jade from Lin Feng, he wouldn’t have used such a powerful move as the Shocking Rainbow Sword!

Just two months ago, a AAA-level peak master had sought his medical treatment, unable to meet his price and uttered some very unpleasant words. One bout of Shocking Rainbow Sword had that person’s blood splattered right there on the spot. So this Lin Feng, at most another AAA-level master, Liu Hong didn’t want to kill him with one blow. Thus, he directed the tip of the sword slightly off, aiming for Lin Feng’s right shoulder. No matter what, he had to extract the Ancient Exotic Jade first.

Lin Feng, let’s see how you’ll handle this sword. Once I cripple you, I can still obtain the Ancient Exotic Jade. All of this is your own doing—if only you had agreed earlier, you wouldn’t have to suffer so!

By now, Liu Hong was convinced that his Shocking Rainbow Sword would severely injure Lin Feng, and no one below S-level could dodge it—there was no doubt about it!

However, as wonderful as the thought was, reality did not play out as Liu Hong had envisioned.

"Clang!"

Just when Liu Hong’s Qingming Sword was about to stab Lin Feng, an Ancient Sword suddenly appeared in Lin Feng’s possession. With a horizontal stroke, he blocked Liu Hong’s mighty blow. The clash of the two weapons emitted a crisp sound that shot up to the heavens; the tremendous noise caused both Lin Feng’s and Liu Hong’s hearts to skip a beat, and their eardrums ached with a numb pain.

Underneath Lin Feng’s feet, the force blasted out a crater nearly ten meters in diameter and three meters deep. Yet, this was just the beginning. A visible ring of shockwaves emanated from where the weapons intersected, traveling outward along Lin Feng’s Windbreaker Sword and instantly carving a trench over twenty meters long and several meters deep into the ground. Everything the shockwaves touched was demolished, including the very soil itself...

"Roll back! Huh!" At that moment, Lin Feng suddenly unleashed a ferociously powerful Fist Aura, with a whooshing sound heading straight for Liu Hong’s chest, intent on not actually injuring Liu Hong, but merely to force him away from this place.

Liu Hong’s movements were already slow, and seeing the vicious Fist Aura from Lin Feng, with its aggressive momentum, he couldn’t defend in time. With no other choice, he could only use his sword to block it sideways. The man was propelled back more than thirty meters by the power of the Fist Aura, floating down and landing firmly on the spot.

But now, Liu Hong’s heart was struck by a storm of shock. How...how is this possible? Lin Feng has a weapon too, and managed to block his own strike. It must be a famous sword passed down from ancient times. What...what exactly is going on?

Moreover, he hadn’t seen how Lin Feng even made his move. How...how could he move so fast? Even as an S-class expert himself, he hadn’t seen how Lin Feng drew the sword. This was...this was inconceivable! One must know that the power of that strike, even for an S-class expert who was prepared, might not be able to withstand it, yet Lin Feng was merely an AAA-class expert. How did he block that strike? This ability...this isn’t something an AAA-class expert possesses, not even a few S-class experts could achieve this!

Thinking of this, Liu Hong looked at Lin Feng with a gaze no longer filled with the previous contempt but with solemnity instead. Now he truly couldn’t make out what level of cultivator Lin Feng was. An AAA-class expert with S-class abilities, it all seemed eerily strange!

"How did you get your weapon?" Liu Hong, now having seen Lin Feng’s weapon, was extremely envious. Lin Feng was only in his early twenties. What right did he have to wield such an ancient and prestigious sword? Liu Hong got his Qingming Sword by a stroke of luck, and yet the sword in Lin Feng’s hand seemed even better than his own. How could he not feel a mix of shock and envy!

"That’s none of your business!" Lin Feng said dismissively. His heart was also filled with astonishment at Liu Hong’s strength. Previously knowing that Liu Hong was an S-class expert proficient in the medical arts, Lin Feng hadn’t paid much attention. But after their brief exchange, Lin Feng realized Liu Hong’s ability was much more fearsome than Uncle Li’s, and coupled with Liu Hong being an S-class expert who was also a healer, today he was likely facing real danger!

A numb and throbbing pain was emanating from his shoulder, which attested to the terrifying power of Liu Hong’s last strike. Had it not been for the new insights gained from his battle with Uncle Li and a fresh understanding of strength, Lin Feng would have definitely been unable to withstand that last attack. It looked like he couldn’t afford to take things lightly anymore, or else he might truly be in danger.

With this in mind, Lin Feng gradually increased the speed at which he circulated his Exclusive Supreme Soaring Decree. Facing such an S-class expert, any slip could lead to unavoidable doom. In a situation like this, he had to seize the opportunity for a fatal blow, so now Lin Feng was using every moment to heal as quickly as possible.

Unnoticed by anyone, a faint green mist began to rise slowly from beneath Lin Feng’s feet...

"Fine, I’ll let you talk tough. I never expected that not only would I get the Ancient Exotic Jade today, but I’d also score a great weapon. Once I dispose of you, all these things will be mine, ha ha! Take this, die!" Liu Hong, nearly bursting with rage at Lin Feng’s words, suddenly remembered his luck today wasn’t so bad after all. Gaining the Ancient Exotic Jade had already made him very happy, but he didn’t expect Lin Feng to bring him such a huge surprise – that was an ancient famous sword! The thought of obtaining both items after killing Lin Feng sent waves of excitement through him. With these two items in his possession, who else could be his rival! Although Lin Feng’s strength was elusive, Liu Hong didn’t care one bit. In front of his S-class strength, all other tactics were paper tigers. He wasn’t the least bit concerned about failing to kill Lin Feng.

Thinking this, Liu Hong decided not to give Lin Feng any chance, so he immediately used another one of his secret techniques, the Return to Origin Skybreaking Sword. This technique was the payment from a patient, and at the time it was just written on a somewhat tattered scrap of leather. He had found it strange then and kept it. After nearly ten years, he finally understood the true meaning of the Return to Origin Skybreaking Sword. He had used this move only twice in sparring with other S-class experts; those two experts had to exert all their strength just to barely defend against it, indicating the unimaginable power of this technique!

The Qingming Sword in Liu Hong’s hand suddenly flew out of his grasp, but what was astonishing was that instead of falling to the ground, the sword began to spin rapidly on its own, drawing in the surrounding air which started spinning along with it. In an instant, the entire space seemed to wobble, the ground’s soil and vegetation attracted by this force, wildly rushing towards the whirlwind formed by the Qingming Sword, spinning along with it...

In a blink of an eye, the spectacle brought forth by the whirlwind was terrifying. Roaring thunder echoed continuously from within, and due to friction in the air, strands of static electricity formed, hovering outside the whirlwind, resembling a giant drill pointing straight at Lin Feng, suggesting that anything it touched would result in total pulverization.

From the Qingming Sword leaving Liu Hong’s hand to the full formation of the whirlwind, it all happened within the span of a single breath, so fast that it was hard to believe such an event could take place in such a short time. Seeing the sword body forming a one-meter-wide whirlwind, Liu Hong suddenly exerted force from his legs.
