Chapter 2157 - 2146: Seeking Defeat
"Oh, what a handsome young man. You’re coming up on stage to spar with your sister, aren’t you afraid that I might not hold back and end up beating you to death?" Hua Tianfeng teased Lin Zifeng with a playful squint.
Hua Tianfeng was very beautiful, with an alluring charm and a distinctly attractive figure, attracting even Lin Zifeng, a man who’s seen countless beauties, to take an extra glance.
In general, powerful cultivators were rare enough, and those who were powerful as well as good-looking were even rarer.
Lin Zifeng nodded, touched his nose, and grinned: "Afraid, huh? How about this, sister, just let your little brother have his moment to show off a bit." Lin Zifeng watched her with a gentle smile and continued, "Sister, take it easy on me."
"Oh, little brother, we’ll have to see if you have the skills for that." Hua Tianfeng chuckled softly, her eyes narrowing. From her perspective, both in terms of appearance and vibe, Lin Zifeng seemed like a weakling.
Yet how could such a weakling have the courage to challenge her on stage? Could he be a master in disguise?
"Hehe..." Lin Zifeng laughed heartily.
Perhaps those outside the Martial Arts Arena had no idea what Lin Zifeng was saying. However, Hua Tianfeng’s expression grew darker and darker.
Knowing that this young yet arrogantly boastful guy before her was definitely not ordinary, she couldn’t afford not to take him seriously. After all, a lion uses all its strength even when catching a rabbit, how could she afford not to do the same as a cultivator who has had a tough journey?
"Are you ready?" Hua Tianfeng squinted her eyes, her gaze sharp and focused.
"Ready or not, it’s all the same, sister, you go first," Lin Zifeng replied with a smile.
"You must have a death wish!" Hua Tianfeng got angry, initially thinking Lin Zifeng was just putting on an act to flirt with her, but unexpectedly he continued teasing, which made Hua Tianfeng furious. And when she got angry, things wouldn’t end well.
"Swish~"
Suddenly, Hua Tianfeng turned into an afterimage, her steps brisk and fierce as she launched the first round of attacks towards Lin Zifeng. Hua Tianfeng didn’t use any Daoist Techniques or weapons but instead threw a direct punch to test the opponent’s strength without exposing herself too much, avoiding giving him opportunities.
"Hehe, the speed is alright, but the strength is still somewhat lacking," Lin Zifeng shook his head, smiled sympathizingly.
"Whoosh!"
The wind roared as the pink fist aimed straight for Lin Zifeng’s nose. Between the two, the straight line was the shortest, so Hua Tianfeng’s fast and fierce straight punch was her best choice.
"Bang!"
However, Lin Zifeng swiftly raised his arms to shield his chest, and Hua Tianfeng’s pink fist landed heavily on his forearm, failing to deliver a fatal blow to Lin Zifeng.
"Such speed!" Hua Tianfeng’s heart shivered as the time from her punch to close combat was less than half a second, yet the opponent had already lifted his arms to block. The speed and reflexes of this level were hard for ordinary cultivators to achieve.
At least for a Sub-Saint Sixth Layer Heaven super strong being like Hua Tianfeng, even a Seventh Layer Heaven expert might not withstand, but Lin Zifeng managed it effortlessly, leaving Hua Tianfeng deeply shocked.
Next, Hua Tianfeng changed her kill move, bending her knee and fiercely driving it upwards. Even though she appeared gentle and frail, this knee strike was not something an ordinary cultivator could withstand.
Bang!
Caught off guard, Lin Zifeng stretched his arms downward and slapped away her rising knee with his palms. Hua Tianfeng was stunned, not expecting the opponent’s reaction to be this swift.
"Swish!"
As Lin Zifeng was retreating, Hua Tianfeng clawed with her five fingers, swiftly grabbing forward. Her sharp nails and claw-like curved fingers tore through the void with a swishing sound.
Thud, thud, thud... Lin Zifeng took three steps back, still grinning mischievously at Hua Tianfeng, his lecherous eyes unabashedly staring straight at Hua Tianfeng’s chest.
He chuckled, "Sister, you are so fast. If little brother hadn’t reacted in time, my face would have been torn, right?"
"You!"
Hua Tianfeng was astonished and disbelief filled her beautiful face, realizing that her close combat abilities, which she prided in, had failed to harm her opponent in successive attempts, not even managing to catch his clothes. This made her both angry and furious!
"Wow..."
Above and below the Martial Arts Arena stage, everyone had just held their breath over Lin Zifeng’s narrow escape, but surprisingly, he easily avoided Hua Tianfeng’s onslaught, stunning everyone around.
"This, what kind of path is this kid on, he’s so fierce, even the Demon Queen couldn’t get the better of him with successive moves, he’s truly a monster."
"More than a monster, he’s simply a freak!"
"Did you see, this kid has been holding back against the Demon Queen. Despite her continuous attacks, he hasn’t retaliated. If he does, it will surely be a spectacle to behold," people around chattered animatedly.
Liu Fatty was even more spirited now, realizing that Lin Zifeng was handling the so-called Demon Queen with ease, appearing exceptionally stable, as if he was merely playing with his opponent.
"Haha, now our Lianyun Empire has hope, even if we don’t win, at least we shouldn’t lose," Liu Fatty chuckled, his facial fat jiggling with delight as if he himself were on the battlefield.
"What’s this kid’s background, how can he be so fierce, father? That day when we went to the Dongfang family, he was clearly hiding his strength, pretending to be weak. Fortunately, he didn’t attack, otherwise, we both would have been done for."
Situ Xuan’s heart was pounding wildly, recalling the day he and his father went to the Dongfang Family’s Marquis Mansion to pick a fight with Lin Zifeng. That day he hit Lin Zifeng with a punch, it was meant to be a slap, but he used a fist instead. If the opponent had fought back then, his life would have been over, just the thought was terrifying—terrifying Lin Zifeng, terrifying consequences, terrifying imaginings.
The woman claiming to be the Demon Queen in front of them didn’t defeat him with just a few moves, and he was still holding back, never actually retaliating. This was enough to show how beyond terrifying the realm this guy in front of them had reached. Once he struck back, it would surely leave the entire arena in awe.
That day, if he had made a move, it wouldn’t just be the two of them, even if the entire Marquis Mansion, the entire Dongfang Family’s people joined hands, they might not have been able to handle him alone.
