Chapter 866: It’s My Turn to Take Action
Chapter 866: It’s My Turn to Take Action
"I’m fine, don’t worry," Lin Feng said lightly, easing the hearts of the people from the Nangong Family. However, he knew inside that things were definitely not as simple as he said. From that last exchange, he had gauged Li Deming’s true strength, and it was no wonder that he had defeated the Old Monster. His power was indeed terrifying. The duel had also left him with a severe internal injury, but he managed to suppress it with True Qi transformed into Golden Needles. Now, there were no serious issues left.
"Everyone can relax. When I went in, Lin Feng was fine," Nangong Mingyue added from the side. Indeed, just as he said, when he worriedly reached the main hall and saw Lin Feng standing there, his clothes in tatters, though he was a bit pale, there was truly no serious harm. This eased Nangong Mingyue’s concerns somewhat, but he knew that Lin Feng must have been injured. However, given Lin Feng’s condition, he seemed still capable of fighting again.
"You think you can still duel me? You’re no match for me. Are you joking by trying to stop me?" Li Deming had now come to his senses and arrogantly spoke. In his eyes, Lin Feng was clearly at the end of his rope, barely holding on. With the duel being so intense, it would be impossible for Lin Feng not to suffer a heavy injury. Now, Lin Feng must be stubbornly talking tough. Could he possibly believe that big words would intimidate him? Impossible!
The people from the Li Family also didn’t believe Lin Feng’s words. Although his voice sounded normal, they definitely didn’t trust it. After such a powerful exchange, how could Lin Feng not be injured? Didn’t they see that not a single piece of Lin Feng’s clothes remained intact, leaving only a few scorched bandages wrapped around his body? Stubbornly blustering in such a state was obviously just a ploy to scare them off. What a joke! How could such a crude trick deceive their ancestor?
"Do you really think that was me at full strength?" Lin Feng retorted with a hint of mocking in his tone upon hearing Li Deming’s words. Not the least bit concerned about what Li Deming said, he had indeed sustained a serious injury. But to him, skilled in the art of healing, such an injury was not a significant problem. He remained confident in facing Li Deming, having already figured out his next move...
"How ridiculous. You were already in that state, what else can you do? Who do you think you are, Lin Feng? No matter what you say, today you won’t escape death. Do you still think you have the ability to fight? Ha ha..." Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Li Deming burst into laughter, thinking Lin Feng was just like a duck that quacks till the end. If Lin Feng still had held back in their fight, wouldn’t that mean he was even stronger than Li Deming himself? Impossible, that could never be!
"Until the very end, no one knows the answer. Maybe today, you will be the one dying here," Lin Feng said calmly, then started to untie the black bandages wrapped around his body. Each time he threw one to the ground, a cloud of dust rose, showing just how heavy these training weights were...
"What... What? You dueled with me while weighted down?" Li Deming was initially set to mock Lin Feng, but as the words left his mouth, his jaw nearly dropped at the sight of the weights Lin Feng discarded. He never would have imagined Lin Feng had been fighting with added weight from the start, and the amount was clearly extraordinary. Roughly estimating, those training weights must have been close to a thousand pounds!
This... This was terrifying! Lin Feng was battling under such heavy weight... This... Is this even humanly possible?
Li Deming was truly shocked. He never anticipated that Lin Feng, burdened by weights, could achieve such a level of strength. It was indescribable... Such power was truly beyond belief, exceeding any imagination...
How... How is this possible!
Lin Feng... Lin Feng dueled the Old Monster while weighted down?
Could... Could my eyes be deceived?
Just how powerful is Lin Feng?
...
Seeing Lin Feng unloading the training weights, the people from the Li Family were so stunned they didn’t even know what to say. Watching Lin Feng, they were all dumbfounded once again, for they never dreamed that Lin Feng would be so bold as to face the Old Monster laden with such burdens. They didn’t know what to make of Lin Feng. It was just too outrageous. Did Lin Feng not have a brain? The Old Monster was a formidable figure. To duel against him while weighed down so heavily was unfathomable. They had no words to describe Lin Feng.
Suddenly, they all realized another issue unanimously, Lin Feng was definitely not a fool. He must have known about the Ancestral Master’s prowess, but even so, Lin Feng still had a move in reserve. What was he thinking? Why would Lin Feng still have a move in reserve when facing the Ancestral Master? What exactly was going on? Did Lin Feng truly believe that he didn’t need to give his all against the Ancestral Master? This thought scared them all. To face the Ancestral Master without giving one’s all, how powerful must Lin Feng’s strength be? They dared not even think of it!
Li Litian’s heart was even more astonished now. Since Lin Feng had first appeared, there had never been any records or data showing that Lin Feng possessed such a heaven-shocking strength. After clashing with the Ancestral Master twice, Lin Feng had yet to use his full strength. Such might was truly too terrifying. He was now rendered speechless by Lin Feng, finally understanding why the records showed that Lin Feng treated everything indifferently—it was because Lin Feng himself possessed extraordinary strength that made everything else seem trivial to him.
At this moment, Li Litian even began to doubt whether Lin Feng was still a normal human being, because it was simply impossible for a normal person to possess such extraordinary strength at such a young age. This kind of strength had overturned the entire Cultivation World’s common sense, and he was even considered on par with the Ancestral Master—his strength was indescribable. If a few more years were to pass, it was possible that not even the Ancestral Master would be a match for Lin Feng. However, now, Li Litian still didn’t believe that Lin Feng could defeat the Ancestral Master—it was utterly impossible!
Lin Feng...
Lin Feng still had a move in reserve...
Lin Feng had actually been fighting Li Deming with weights on his back all this time...
The Nangong Family members were also shocked by Lin Feng. Although they didn’t know what the black bands on Lin Feng’s body were, they were all very clear about the weight of those objects. Lin Feng had actually been battling Li Deming with such heavy weights... that was just too incredible. For an ordinary cultivator, weighed down by such a burden, let alone move agilely, even moving without impediment would be difficult. It seemed Lin Feng’s strength was truly limitless!
More importantly, in the previous exchanges where Lin Feng clashed with Li Deming, he seemed to have not suffered any injuries and still retained full combat strength. Now that he had removed the weights, didn’t that mean Lin Feng was now going to truly make his move? Such strength... it was feared that there was no one else in the entire Cultivation World who could match it. The extent of such strength was something they didn’t even dare to think about.
The Nangong Family members were now filled with hope, because Lin Feng had far exceeded their imaginations. With Lin Feng’s strength, defeating Li Deming was truly possible. If Lin Feng could defeat Li Deming, then the Nangong Family would really be saved. Thinking of this, everyone prayed non-stop in their hearts, hoping that Lin Feng could truly defeat Li Deming and save the Nangong Clan...
"It’s nothing so surprising; now it’s my turn to take action." Lin Feng removed all the weight bands from his body, moved around a bit, and enjoyed the feeling of being unencumbered. He had already figured out how to deal with Li Deming, which was to rely on speed and the Ancient Sword Might. After all, speed was his forte. If it weren’t for being forced to clash directly with Li Deming from the start, he would have fully unleashed his power already.
Lin Feng was confident that, in his fully unleashed state, it was definitely possible for him to defeat Li Deming. That way, he wouldn’t have to clash head-on with Li Deming. Killing an enemy wasn’t about brute force—skill was the key. Although his True Qi cultivation wasn’t as formidable as Li Deming’s, with his speed, Lin Feng was absolutely confident in overcoming Li Deming.
"Fine, I’ll kill you and see how you’re going to take action!" Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Li Deming could no longer contain himself and charged towards Lin Feng. In Li Deming’s view, what if Lin Feng had removed his weights? At most, he would just be a bit faster. How could he possibly be a match for him with just speed and an Ancient Sword?
With these thoughts, Li Deming flipped his hand and drew his own Ancient Sword called Juechen, which was two feet and three inches long. True to its name, the sword was impeccably clean, untainted by even a speck of dust. He hadn’t used this sword for decades and had not expected to use it today against Lin Feng. But now, with Lin Feng revealing such formidable strength, Li Deming had to take him seriously, even if the sword Lin Feng held was the Windbreaker, a gift he once gave to Li Li. He couldn’t afford any unexpected occurrences since Lin Feng had proved too strong, and Li Deming had to face him with earnest.
With a single hand on his sword, Li Deming dashed towards Lin Feng, his body appearing like a streak of light. In the use of weapons, Li Deming naturally chose to push his speed to the limit, seeking an opportunity to deliver a killing blow to Lin Feng. The Ancient Sword’s might, with its sharpness beyond common belief, was unstoppable by anything.
His speed reached the extreme, almost rendering Li Deming’s figure invisible. Only the dazzling flash of light, twinkling in the air, was left. And because of his extreme speed, a long trail of dust rose behind him, letting the onlookers know where Li Deming was. His speed was exaggerated, making Li Deming seem like a ghost...
