Chapter 98: Hidden Weapon
Ling Feng quickly realized someone was following him as he stepped out the door, and the aura unmistakably belonged to that middle-aged man who had scolded him earlier.
"Kid, if I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll never understand how vast the sky and the earth are!" Tian Xing, observing Ling Feng wandering distantly, a sinister gleam flashing in the corner of his eye.
Since Qingshui Villa was located on the outskirts of Yanjing, part of the road passed through a forest.
Tian Xing followed Ling Feng into the forest but was shocked to discover that Ling Feng's aura had vanished!
Tian Xing was astonished. Ling Feng had just been right in front of him; how could he have disappeared in the blink of an eye?
As an A-level expert, Tian Xing was very confident in his abilities, but Ling Feng's disappearance was too bizarre, causing him some unease.
"Lucky you, kid, for running fast!" Tian Xing grumbled, waving his fist in frustration.
"Who ran fast?" Suddenly, Ling Feng's voice came from behind Tian Xing.
Tian Xing was startled and quickly turned around, only to find Ling Feng leaning against a tree not far away, smiling slyly at him.
"Considering you've been following me since I left the house, I assume it's not just to express some admiration, right?" Ling Feng said, "What's the United Hearts Gang's purpose?"
Tian Xing replied coldly, "I just find you annoying and want to give you a lesson!"
Ling Feng shook his head gently, "If the leader of the United Hearts Gang can't even manage his own people, then he's not capable of controlling such a large organization, is he? But I won't bother digging into it. In short, we should mind our own business. If you keep pestering me, I won't be polite!"
Tian Xing retorted coldly, "Not polite? Then let's see what you're made of!"
As he spoke, Tian Xing's figure flickered, vanishing from Ling Feng's sight, only to reappear at Ling Feng's left side, delivering a heavy punch toward Ling Feng's waist.
The punch was fierce, even putting some pressure on Ling Feng!
"Nice speed, but the power is lacking!" Ling Feng grinned slightly, his body swayed, dodging Tian Xing's attack, then he kicked at Tian Xing!
Tian Xing dodged the first attack but retreated; however, Ling Feng had already predicted Tian Xing's movements, landing a heavy kick on his chest!
Tian Xing crossed his arms to block Ling Feng's attack, but his body was still kicked back more than ten meters!
"Such incredible power!" Tian Xing was slightly horrified, "Could this guy have Innate Divine Strength? This kick's power could match that of an elephant!"
The sheer force even numbed Tian Xing's hands.
"Not bad, managing to block my 'Grandchild Breaker' kick, that's quite surprising!" Ling Feng commended.
But this praise made Tian Xing feel humiliated! A distinguished A-level expert, a man in his forties, receiving praise from a young man in his early twenties was an unbearable mockery!
"Youngster, you have completely angered me!" Tian Xing said grimly, "I only intended to teach you a lesson, but now, your arrogance will bury your future!"
Ling Feng shrugged, "I don't know where your sense of superiority comes from? Clearly, it was you who got kicked flying, why do you think you're going to win? Did my kick earlier damage your brain?"
"You slick-talker!" Tian Xing took a deep breath, and the aura around him became extremely turbulent, the circulation of his Inner Strength caused the air around him to continuously swirl and flow!
The dead grass and leaves on the ground rose from their places and formed a huge whirlwind in the air!
"Tsk tsk, this effect is worth more than petty change!" Ling Feng, holding his arms, watched Tian Xing gather Qi and couldn't help but admire, "But there are just too many dead leaves and grass, giving it a dirty look! If this move were used in Maple Forest, it'd definitely be beautiful!"
Tian Xing, listening to Ling Feng's critique, almost choked in ire. He was in a duel right now, for heaven's sake, couldn't he be serious?
Several seconds later, the airflow gradually settled, and the dead grass and leaves also fell back to the ground. But the aura emanating from Tian Xing had undergone a drastic change.
"Ignorant boy!" Tian Xing said proudly, "Don't think just because you have Innate Divine Strength, you can be arrogant. Today, I, your granddad, will properly teach you how to behave!"
Surging Inner Strength, Tian Xingzi unleashed the full strength of an A-rank master, each move as swift as a startled swan! And the Inner Strength contained in each move was enough to shatter steel and break stones!
However, in Tian Xing's frenzied offensive, Ling Feng was like a fluttering leaf, dodging through gaps in the attacks, oftentimes nearly finding himself in grave danger.
But no matter the peril, Ling Feng always managed to narrowly resolve them! This left Tian Xing utterly baffled!
For a full three minutes, Tian Xing had launched no less than hundreds of moves, but not a single one truly hit Ling Feng!
"Are you toying with me?" Finally, Tian Xing withdrew a step and stopped attacking, his face betraying his anger.
Although he couldn't believe it, he had to accept the facts! The reason Ling Feng could remain unharmed through his offensive was because he had seen through his attacks!
"Toying with you? Of course not!" Ling Feng said earnestly, "After returning to China, it was not easy to find a decent opponent. I had to adapt to the domestic fighting style. Otherwise, what if I accidentally hit too hard and killed you?"
"How arrogant, boy!" Tian Xing was about to go mad; he was an A-level master and yet he was being looked down upon by a nobody. He couldn't swallow this insult!
"No matter who stands behind you, no matter how strong your sect is, today it won't save your life!" Tian Xing said coldly.
Ling Feng said cheerfully, "But unfortunately for you, you haven't really touched me yet. Is your strongest move just running your mouth? If that's the case, I might really not be your match! After all, I don't have the habit of throwing harsh words during a fight!"
Tian Xing's eyes narrowed, and he raised both hands, shooting two nearly invisible silver needles from his sleeves.
Ling Feng's body tensed, pain written on his face.
"Didn't expect that, did you? My strongest skill isn't in hand-to-hand combat, but my hidden weapon!" Tian Xing said coldly.
Ling Feng, clutching his shoulder, said coldly, "Are you from the Southwest Tang Sect?"
"Tang Sect?" Tian Xing said indifferently, "Yes, your eyesight is quite good! But sadly, you've been hit by my White Bone Needle, and unless you use my secret antidote, within a moment, your arm will be useless! Within three days, your entire skeletal structure will soften, turning you completely into a cripple!"
"So what?"
"Beg me!" Tian Xing said triumphantly, "Just beg me, and I might just be merciful and spare your life!"
