Now, Lin Feng, at only the eighth level of the Qi Martial Realm, was already a threat to Lü Liang. Lin Feng was fully confident that once he reached the ninth level of the Qi Martial Realm, he would definitely have the strength to fight.
"Nine Waves." Lin Feng's left fist slammed out, a wave surged forward, heading straight for Lü Liang's face.
"Cloud Splitting Claw." Lü Liang raised one hand, his fingers curved like hooks, and he lunged forward. Instantly, a powerful aura pierced the air, and the strong wave seemed to dissipate.
"Thunder Shock."
Lin Feng's wrist trembled, and the long sword in Lü Liang's hand vibrated. The sound of thunder stirred, and Lü Liang felt a numbness in his hand, causing him to release the sword.
But the moment he released it, Lü Liang's claw struck the sword forcefully, and Lin Feng felt a powerful force pushing him back, causing him to fly out with a闷哼 (muffled groan).
"Lü Liang has the Eagle Martial Spirit, which is primarily characterized by sharpness, insight, and destructive power, with strength being secondary. However, a single strike with aura still has the force of ten thousand pounds," Lin Feng thought to himself. The eighth level of the Qi Martial Realm is far too different from the Spirit Martial Realm. There is a vast gap between the Qi Martial Realm and the Spirit Martial Realm. Challenging a higher level is much more difficult than fighting someone at the same level. Lin Feng knew that defeating Lü Liang was not very realistic.
"One Sword, Thunder Shock." Lin Feng's long sword danced again, but he did not attack proactively. He thrust the sword into the air, and then the second and third thrusts followed, with thunder continuously exploding. The cave echoed with the rumbling sounds, as if the Thunder God was enraged.
In just a moment, a sword aura enveloped Lin Feng, surrounding him completely, with sword qi raging.
"Defense? Is it useful? In front of a Spirit Martial Realm expert, any means are superfluous." Lü Liang sneered, his eagle wings flashing as he pounced from the air toward Lin Feng. Before he even arrived, a powerful aura struck the sword aura, producing a loud explosion.
Inside the sword aura, Lin Feng felt like a small boat in a vast sea, tossed by the wind and rain. The powerful aura continuously struck the sword aura, transmitting the force to his body, but the Thunder Sword Technique remained fluid and orderly.
"Eagle Soaring in the Sky."
Seeing that the aura could not subdue Lin Feng, Lü Liang's figure lunged forward, his hands transforming into eagle claws, descending from the air like an eagle soaring through the sky, breaking through the wind.
"Boom!" The sword aura trembled violently, and Lin Feng's body also shook slightly, but he quickly stabilized himself, the thunder remaining, standing firm like a mountain.
Seeing that he could not subdue a Qi Martial Realm cultivator, Lü Liang's attacks became more frenzied, his entire body transforming into a proud solitary eagle, attacking Lin Feng fiercely.
The pressure Lin Feng endured grew stronger, but his sword technique became sharper. The entire cave was filled with rolling thunder, and it seemed to be shaking, as if it might collapse at any moment.
A trickle of blood seeped from the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. Each of Lü Liang's strikes exceeded twelve thousand pounds of force, and they were unpredictable and irregular, causing significant internal injuries.
"It's time to end this."
A sharp light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He guided his long sword, and the sword aura dissipated. Countless sword qi moved with Lin Feng's sword, and the powerful thunder seemed to be integrated into this one strike.
The momentum, the sword's momentum, and the thunder's momentum, destroying everything!
The terrifying power of destruction spread wildly from Lin Feng's sword. Lü Liang sensed this power, and his Eagle Martial Spirit trembled violently. His figure flew backward, swiftly moving away from Lin Feng.
But Lin Feng's sword did not stop. It moved like a fleeting shadow, and a powerful strike transformed into a thunderous light, hurtling toward Lü Liang.
"Eagle Soaring in the Sky." Lü Liang roared, both palms thrusting out, the aura extremely strong.
"Rumble!" The earth shook, and the entire cave trembled violently.
"Fleeting Shadow."
Lin Feng transformed into a streak of light, rushing out of the cave. As he left, he swung his sword, and a惨叫 (anguished cry) echoed.
"Damn it!" Lü Liang roared wildly. His hands were covered in blood, clearly injured by that powerful strike. If he had not retreated quickly, that strike could have threatened his life.
Lü Liang never expected that a Qi Martial Realm cultivator would not only escape from under his nose but also injure him, and even kill his brother, Lü Fei.
Holding Lü Fei's body, Lü Liang's face was grotesque, like a demon. Lü Fei's throat was bleeding, and he had no breath left, the result of Lin Feng's final strike.
"I, Lü Liang, will never rest until you are dead." A voice like it came from hell echoed in the cave, scaring Xue Huan so much that she trembled, leaning against the cave wall. She never expected Lin Feng to be so powerful that even the strong Lü Liang could not subdue him.
If Lin Feng had heard Lü Liang's roar, he would have sneered. Lü Liang had already intended to make his life miserable, and the two were already in a life-or-death struggle. Killing one more person would be a gain.
Lin Feng was not an evil person; he would not provoke others or kill and injure people at will. But if someone tried to bully or kill him, he would naturally wield his three-foot sword and fight back.
After running for half an hour, Lin Feng's steps gradually slowed. He coughed twice, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. Lin Feng was clearly injured, but considering the gap in strength and realm, this battle, where he fought a Spirit Martial Realm expert with only the eighth level of the Qi Martial Realm, was something to be proud of.
Taking out a bottle, Lin Feng opened it, took out a pill, and swallowed it. A refreshing and pleasant sensation spread through his body, and the oppressive feeling in his chest instantly eased. He felt refreshed and invigorated. In no time, he felt that his injuries were almost completely healed.
"What a powerful effect."
Lin Feng's eyes showed surprise. No wonder Old Kong said that one pill was enough to heal Han Man's injuries. He had been skeptical at the time and gave Han Man three pills at once, leaving three more for Jing Yun, just in case. But now, experiencing the pill himself, Lin Feng could clearly feel how powerful it was.
Not only did Lin Feng feel his injuries heal, but his internal energy also grew stronger.
"No wonder many people are willing to immerse themselves in the art of alchemy. Those good pills are enough to drive martial cultivators mad."
In the Nine Heavens Continent, many martial cultivators also practice alchemy and weapon forging. Alchemists and weapon forgers are highly respected and hold very high status. Even within the Yunhai Sect, there are dedicated alchemists, though Lin Feng, as an outer sect disciple, had not yet come into contact with them.
Indeed, the best way to improve is through battle. After the fierce battle and with the help of this powerful pill, my realm has clearly improved, surpassing many days of hard cultivation. Now, I need to find a good place to consolidate and improve. Perhaps I can take this opportunity to break through to the ninth level of the Qi Martial Realm. By then, it will be time to return to Yangzhou City for the annual meeting.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng scanned his surroundings and found the scenery somewhat familiar.
"It's this place." Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and he smiled, his gaze turning to the distance.
In the distance, a crack in the mountain wall, as if split by a sword, revealed the crevice where Lin Feng had been driven out by a woman last time.
"I was just worried about where to find a cave to cultivate, and here is such a good place." Lin Feng would not forget the woman who had pursued him twice. This time, he wanted to see how she could deal with him.
Lifting his feet, Lin Feng walked toward the crevice, stepping directly into it without hesitation.
When people around the crevice saw Lin Feng enter, they were stunned for a moment, then waited outside to see him humiliated. This guy dared to enter the forbidden area of Senior Sister Liu Fei, truly not knowing life or death.
A short while later, Lin Feng entered the crevice. The surrounding mountain peaks and stone walls encircled a hot spring lake, and there were many caves in the stone walls. If no one disturbed him, this place was indeed very suitable for cultivation.
At this moment, Liu Fei, like last time, had her head submerged in the water, holding her breath, using this method to strengthen her internal energy. Only with strong internal energy could she pull the bowstring fully and shoot arrows with greater power.
When her beautiful face emerged from the water, Liu Fei saw Lin Feng again and was momentarily stunned. Then her eyes narrowed, and she said coldly, "It's you again."
"Yes, it's me again." Lin Feng smiled calmly. He was willing to fight even a Spirit Martial Realm expert, let alone Liu Fei. Although Liu Fei was ranked high among the outer sect disciples, Lin Feng still had enough confidence. After all, he had defeated and killed Jing Hao, who was ranked higher than Liu Fei.
PS: It's the weekend, and those who work can relax. Of course, there are still some people, like the author, who need to work overtime. Let's keep fighting!
