Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 567: What Ace Do You Have Up Your Sleeve? (10th Update)

Liu Hong realized by now that if he didn’t resolve Lin Feng today, he might be the one to die after today. Thinking of this, Liu Hong decided to use the peerless Spiritual Medicine he had treasured for a very long time. Under the current circumstances, he was forced to use that Spiritual Medicine to heal his internal injuries and gain stronger Cultivation Power, so that he could thoroughly kill Lin Feng right in front of him!

The name of this Spiritual Medicine was the Revival Pill, which could recover one’s serious internal injuries in an extremely short time. Moreover, its powerful effects could forcibly increase one’s Cultivation Power for half an hour without any side effects, truly a pill of Heavenly Level. Liu Hong would not use such a miraculous and precious Spiritual Medicine if he hadn’t been driven to a dead end.

With an easy toss, he threw the Spiritual Medicine into his mouth, circulated his Cultivation Power to stimulate the effects of the medicine. Liu Hong stood there, not moving an inch, guarding against any surprise attacks from Lin Feng at this critical moment. If Lin Feng attempted a sneak attack, he wasn’t afraid—he was ready to face anything!

Lin Feng, upon seeing Liu Hong taking medicine again, was immediately astonished. Liu Hong’s supply of medicines really was extensive, and from their appearance, they all seemed to be of the highest quality, remarkably effective in treating internal injuries!

However, following this, Lin Feng noticed the spell Liu Hong was circulating and immediately discovered an even more unfavorable situation. Liu Hong had not only healed his internal injuries with the medicine, but his Cultivation Power had also increased. If nothing unexpected happened, that Elixir must be of a Saintly grade!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng now felt a sense of helplessness. He had thought he could kill Liu Hong without unleashing his full strength, but it seemed impossible now. His speed could just barely compete with Liu Hong, but if Liu Hong used the Saintly-grade Spiritual Medicine to enhance his Cultivation Power, Lin Feng would indeed be seeking death if he still didn’t release his full power. It seemed there was no other way but to unleash it.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Hong had nearly finished converting the medicine’s effects. Feeling the surging power and True Qi within his body, which was at least fifty percent beyond his peak state, he had never experienced such a condition before, so Liu Hong was extremely confident at this moment. Lin Feng was definitely doomed this time—there was only one outcome, his death at Liu’s hands!

"Lin Feng, I see where you can run now. You’ve forced me to take the Saintly-grade Spiritual Medicine. Today, I must kill you no matter what!" Liu Hong looked at Lin Feng, who stood in the distance with a sword in hand, wishing he could flay and dismember Lin Feng. That was a Saintly-grade Spiritual Medicine, and to think he had to use it against a man barely over twenty years old—how could it not pain him? Even in his possession, such Saintly-grade Spiritual Medicine totaled only two pills, which he had acquired at a great cost...

"Do you think you’re the only one with a trump card?" Lin Feng looked at Liu Hong, who had almost fully activated the medicinal effects. It was quite obvious that Liu Hong’s Cultivation Power had increased by as much as fifty percent. If that were the case, he too would have to fully unleash his power. Otherwise, it really would be suicide. With that thought, Lin Feng directly circulated his True Qi to shatter his clothes into pieces.

"Bang!"

"You have a trump card. What trump card do you have?" Liu Hong looked at Lin Feng and nearly laughed out loud. What kind of trump card could Lin Feng have? It was simply impossible. Lin Feng would have used it already if he had one, rather than waiting until now. Liu Hong truly didn’t believe that Lin Feng had any more tricks up his sleeve.

But what Liu Hong never dreamed of was that Lin Feng would actually shatter his clothes. Liu Hong wondered to himself, what did shattering his clothes mean? This... this was just too strange! Watching Lin Feng, Liu Hong felt extremely puzzled, thinking what Lin Feng intended by destroying his clothes if he couldn’t win the fight.

However, right after that, Liu Hong realized something was amiss. After the clothes had shattered, Lin Feng started unwinding something from his body that resembled bandages. And these bandages were just too strange—black in color. What in the world were these?

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Effortlessly, Lin Feng tossed those bandage-like weights to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Each piece, as it hit the ground, created a crater, showing how heavy these weights must be!

Now, Liu Hong finally understood what those bandages were. They were Lin Feng’s weighted bands! But this... this was impossible! Considering the significant heft of these weights, totaling no less than several hundred pounds, perhaps even more than that, Lin Feng had been wearing these weights the whole time he was fighting him? This... was Lin Feng even human?

At this point, Liu Hong was utterly astounded, finding it hard to believe anyone could do such a thing. Carrying several hundred, even a thousand pounds, or heavier, as if child’s play every day... this... where was the human in this? Moreover, Lin Feng was still so agile in their exchange just moments before. Lin Feng was too monstrous; such a feat was impossible even for him!

"You... You were wearing these things while fighting me?" Liu Hong couldn’t help but blurt out his question to Lin Feng. Who wouldn’t be astonished by this revelation?

"If you hadn’t taken that medicine, I wouldn’t have planned to take them off at all," Lin Feng replied casually. Things were as simple as that. If Liu Hong hadn’t consumed that miraculous Elixir, forcing Lin Feng to take off all his weights, Lin Feng would never have removed them. He had grown accustomed to their presence, accustomed to seeking limits within the extreme!

"Last time I unleashed my power, I killed an S-level expert and acquired the Skybreaker Sword. I wonder if you’ll be able to escape that fate this time. Behold my sword!" Lin Feng said with an indifferent tone, his figure flickering and vanishing from the ground like a ghost, leaving no trace as if he had never been there. Yet, a peculiar sound hung in the air, a subtle reminder that Lin Feng had not disappeared; it was just that his speed had already far surpassed the limit of the human eye.

Suddenly, a faint sound emerged from behind Liu Hong.

"Hiss"

Without any thought for anything else, Liu Hong instinctively spun around, slashing with a Sword Gang towards his rear.

But as soon as Liu Hong’s Sword Gang was unleashed, he saw a figure flash in midair and then disappear again...

Liu Hong’s heart skipped a beat. How could this be possible? How could Lin Feng’s speed increase to such an extent? It was utterly inconceivable. He had thought that after consuming the Revival Pill, with his Cultivation Power greatly increased, killing Lin Feng would be an easy feat. But in his wildest dreams, he hadn’t imagined that Lin Feng’s speed would be so much faster than his own, breaking beyond the limit of all cultivators!

"Whoosh!"

Once again, the sound of rushing air appeared behind Liu Hong. He didn’t dare to underestimate the situation, where one lapse could mean death. He quickly turned and pointed his Sword Qi, sending a Sword Gang toward the source of the sound, but unsurprisingly, he missed Lin Feng, only catching a glimpse of his fleeting shadow.

Now panic began to set in. He had never considered that someone as young as Lin Feng could pose such a significant threat. With speed as unassailable as Lin Feng’s, there seemed to be no counter. What was he to do? He couldn’t keep wasting True Qi by sending out a Sword Gang every time he heard a sound; even with his strength, he couldn’t sustain such consumption.

Yet the effect of the Revival Pill lasted only half an hour. If he couldn’t resolve the fight within that time, things would only get worse. If his Cultivation Power dropped, wouldn’t that make him even more vulnerable? What was he to do...

After much thought, Liu Hong could not come up with a better idea. With no way to catch Lin Feng, he decided to remain unchanging amidst all change, taking a defensive stance. His plan was to catch Lin Feng off guard and kill him in one fell swoop, for in the current situation, there was no other solution in sight.

With that, Liu Hong closed his eyes, releasing True Qi to wander around him defensively, guarding against Lin Feng’s attacks. Since his eyes could no longer track his opponent, there was no point relying on sight. Instead, he would depend on his senses and instinct to deal with Lin Feng.

Seeing Liu Hong adopt this new technique, Lin Feng felt a strong sense of frustration, for now, Liu Hong’s Cultivation Power was much higher than his own, and a direct confrontation was impossible. So what to do? Continuous harassment seemed to have some effect. Even a tiger naps, and once Liu Hong let down his guard, Lin Feng could strike at the tiger’s teeth. Moreover, Lin Feng didn’t believe that Liu Hong’s Elixir lacked a time limit. If it came down to it, he could simply wait for the drug’s effect to wear off before dealing with Liu Hong.

With that in mind, Lin Feng’s figure disappeared into the air once more...

"Bang!"

"Clang!"

"Boom!"

...

Noises of clashing weapons kept ringing through the air, but with each exchange, Lin Feng was just a flash, never staying after a missed strike, never giving Liu Hong a chance.

Time flew swiftly, and almost half an hour had passed in a standoff. With the effects of the Revival Pill nearly gone, Liu Hong could no longer keep his composure. In such a passive state, once the pill’s effect wore off, there was no way he could carry on under Lin Feng’s rapid attacks; it would be impossible even to flee!

What was he to do now?

Liu Hong had initially thought that Lin Feng couldn’t maintain such high-speed movements for long since such actions required immense mental fortitude, which he knew quite well. Even in passive defense, the strain on his attention was exhausting, and he was starting to feel a throbbing headache. The one on the outside attacking, Lin Feng, must be exerting far more spiritual power than him. But Liu Hong had never expected Lin Feng to last so long without slowing down. How was this humanly possible? How could someone have such strong mental resilience? When he studied medicine, he would go days without rest; it had taken him decades to develop such mental tenacity. Lin Feng, how could he...
