Chapter 566: Fierce Battle!!! (9th Update)
Chapter 566: Fierce Battle!!! (9th Update)
Liu Hong became more and more astonished as he fought, because the Lin Feng before him could actually...actually match him in a fierce tiger-like duel, this...this was simply too unbelievable. One must know that he has been on the threshold of an S-Class Master for nearly twenty years now, and Lin Feng is just over 20 years old, this... just what is going on, how could Lin Feng be so powerful? With his level of skill, he is definitely the top among the younger generation. There is no way anyone in the Cultivation World could surpass him!
A young man in his early 20s, actually able to fight on equal footing with an S-Class Master, this... how is one supposed to live with this! Liu Hong had only entered the S-Class in his forties, yet Lin Feng was already so formidable, it was just too hard to believe!
No, no!
Today, he must deal with Lin Feng, otherwise, if Lin Feng were to target him in the future, he would definitely not be a match for Lin Feng. With this in mind, Liu Hong made up his mind to kill, even if it meant giving up the Ancient Exotic Jade, he must deal with Lin Feng, otherwise it would be too dangerous! Thinking this, Liu Hong once again accelerated, once again enhancing his strength, attempting to kill Lin Feng as quickly as possible.
Lin Feng was likewise growing more astonished as the battle continued. He had already made a breakthrough last time and had comprehended a whole new level of power. His speed and strength, among other attributes, were supposed to have elevated to a new level. However, unexpectedly, he had not achieved the anticipated results. Without fully unleashing his power, he had no way to handle the Liu Hong before him, something Lin Feng was extremely dissatisfied with. Moreover, he could already feel Liu Hong’s murderous intent growing stronger, and his own pressure was increasing. If he could not come up with a solution soon, things were bound to go wrong.
Could it be... could it be that he had to use the abilities he’d comprehended during his last breakthrough? Forget it!
After thinking it over, Lin Feng decided to give up, making a decision in his heart that he would definitely not use the powers he had comprehended last time, nor unleash them. That was his last resort...
"Ping!"
"Pang!"
"Clang!"
"Ding!"
...
Time continued, and so did their fight, steadily destroying the valley. But the disparity between the two combatants was clear. Liu Hong’s clothes had two small holes in them, whereas Lin Feng’s clothes were all tattered, and even his skin had begun to show several red lines...
"Bang!"
Suddenly, following a fierce clash of swords, both men instantly separated and retreated over a hundred meters from each other, staring at each other from afar.
"Huff... Huff!"
Liu Hong began to breathe heavily. The saying that youth should not be underestimated was certainly true. After that exchange, the two had fought innumerable rounds over an indeterminable time, yet Liu Hong was now out of patience. He found the prospect of killing Lin Feng challenging, even though he was already gaining the upper hand. If the situation dragged on like this, it would take a long time to kill Lin Feng, and Liu Hong did not want to prolong it any further! He didn’t want any more changes to occur!
With that in mind, Liu Hong suddenly took out several silver needles and pierced them into a few of his acupoints, then threw an Elixir into his mouth. His aura instantly intensified several times over.
Yes, Liu Hong was about to use his real trump card. He had stimulated the true power of the Elixir using the silver needles to hit the acupoints. In that moment, Liu Hong’s strength surged two levels. Under these circumstances, Lin Feng was no longer his match.
Clasping the short Qingming Sword with both hands, he looked like a transformed man while staring down Lin Feng, preparing to deliver the final blow!
The moment Lin Feng saw Liu Hong in this state, he knew something was wrong. He had been so engrossed in the battle that he had forgotten the warnings of his master. Liu Hong was not only an S-Class Master but also an expert in medical arts, and his specialty was in using medicine!
Liu Hong’s method of using silver needles to stimulate the medicine’s effects was also known to Lin Feng, but Lin Feng had never practiced it. If nothing went wrong, Liu Hong was about to use his secret technique, and Lin Feng could not allow him to execute it freely.
With that thought, Lin Feng, without further hesitation, swept two beams of Golden Sword Qi towards Liu Hong, while his entire body was now enveloped in a golden glow that made it impossible to discern his exact location, resembling a sun...
In such a situation, Lin Feng knew that if he did not exert his full strength now, he would indeed be in danger, because the signal of danger in his mind was giving him severe warnings. This time, the threat posed by Liu Hong had surpassed all previous enemies. Lin Feng had no choice but to push the Exclusive Supreme Soaring Decree to the ultimate limit for the first time, and his feet were frantically absorbing the natural Spiritual Energy remaining in the plants of the valley...
Just as Lin Feng’s Sword Qi was about to reach Liu Hong, Liu Hong suddenly unleashed an invisible Sword Qi from low to high, causing slight illusions in the air.
"Yuan Spirit Kill!"
Liu Hong shouted explosively, as the invisible Sword Qi surged forward with a destructive force and a voracious breath, confronting Lin Feng’s twin Sword Gangs.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The invisible Sword Qi collided with two streaks of Golden Sword Gang, but this time, the situation completely defied Lin Feng’s expectations. His hitherto invincible Golden Sword Gang was unexpectedly severed by the invisible Sword Qi, which then rushed towards him at an extreme speed.
Confronted with this formidable invisible Sword Qi, Lin Feng knew he couldn’t dodge it, for he faintly sensed that this invisible Sword Qi was not the so-called Sword Gang. Since that was the case, he would have to let his strength do the talking. Without time for further thought, Lin Feng instantly unleashed another Sword Gang, this one even more saturated with golden light! Then, with a hefty push of his legs, he was already soaring into the air.
"Bang!"
A nearly ten-meter-wide crater was abruptly formed where Lin Feng had stepped off, and Lin Feng himself had ascended almost twenty meters into the air. From above, he fiercely slashed down with a brand new Sword Gang!
"Whoosh!"
This was deemed a brand new Sword Gang because Lin Feng’s Sword Gang had always been golden, yet now it bizarrely blended gold and green, an eerie mix of colors. With a momentum that seemed to swallow the skies, it dashed towards Liu Hong like a bolt of lightning.
"Bang!"
Lin Feng’s first pure golden Sword Gang met with the invisible Sword Qi and was still cleaved by Liu Hong’s Sword Qi, yet Liu Hong’s Sword Qi also shuddered upon impact.
"Bang!"
Just then, Lin Feng’s second Sword Gang, a blend of gold and green, collided with Liu Hong’s invisible Sword Qi again. However, this time an unexpected turn of events occurred—Liu Hong’s invisible Sword Qi did not sever Lin Feng’s mixed Sword Gang. On the contrary, it was completely cut through by Lin Feng’s Sword Gang, which howled as it sped toward Liu Hong.
"Whoosh!"
Liu Hong was utterly dumbfounded by the scene before him. Yuan Spirit Kill was his most reliable life-saving move. Although it seemed like a Sword Gang, it really wasn’t; it was a Secret Technique that externalized his True Qi. Before Yuan Spirit Kill, and in the face of his overwhelmingly potent True Qi, all so-called Sword Gangs were mere paper tigers. Furthermore, Yuan Spirit Kill had another crucial feature—once released, it could track the target according to Liu Hong’s will until it struck.
He had once grievously injured a fellow S-rank expert with this move, evidencing its power as beyond imagination.
Of course, despite its potency, the move was enormously costly, consuming fully half his body’s Spiritual Energy in one go. Therefore, Liu Hong wouldn’t use it unless absolutely necessary. Just now, he was forced to stimulate the effects of an invaluable Spirit Pill he had ingested by using silver needles to prick his acupoints. But he could never have imagined that Lin Feng would outright shatter what he thought was his invincible Yuan Spirit Kill. Impossible! It simply couldn’t be!
Liu Hong was completely unable to accept the fact that his Yuan Spirit Kill had been broken by Lin Feng, but seeing the mixed golden and green Sword Gang approaching him, Liu Hong was forced to face reality. Yuan Spirit Kill had indeed been thwarted by Lin Feng, and this odd Sword Gang also gave him a tremendously dangerous feeling.
The golden Sword Gang was already eerie; now, how had it transformed into a mixed golden and green Sword Gang? This...what was going on? How could there be green?
No matter how hard Liu Hong racked his brains, he couldn’t figure out why such a golden-green Sword Gang would appear. Left with no choice, Liu Hong could only brace himself, raising the Qingming Sword and concentrating all his Spiritual Energy upon it, hoping to withstand this Sword Qi from Lin Feng!
"Bang!"
Knowing that this Sword Gang was fraught with oddities and likely incredibly powerful, Liu Hong prepared to receive Lin Feng’s attack. But he could never have envisaged that Lin Feng’s Sword Gang would far exceed those that had come before in might.
As Liu Hong’s Qingming Sword met the oncoming Sword Gang, the enormous pressure that surged through it made him involuntarily spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Pff!"
However, Liu Hong knew he couldn’t let up. Once he did, he would surely sustain even more severe injuries. With no other option, he clenched his teeth and withstood the extraordinarily powerful Sword Gang. His feet dug deep grooves into the ground as he was pushed back over ten meters by Lin Feng’s Sword Gang before finally managing to deflect it.
"Pff!"
Liu Hong spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, his mind now a whirl of indescribable shock. He was utterly astounded by Lin Feng. What kind of person was Lin Feng to be able to wield such immensely powerful Sword Gangs? How...how was this happening? Even an average S-rank expert couldn’t produce a Sword Gang of such devastating power. Those golden Sword Gangs were already incredibly strange and fearsome, but the power of this gold and green Sword Gang was even more terrifying. That he had been injured to this extent by it—Lin Feng...Lin Feng...
