Li Feng’s pupils contracted, and his expression became grave.
This Old Qu’s aura was definitely stronger than Uncle Li’s. Even Hong Lao from Li Feng’s martial master sect could not compare to him. This was the strongest half-step innate expert Li Feng had ever encountered. So when facing him, Li Feng did not dare to show the slightest carelessness.
Old Qu moved as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he was already about ten metres in front of Li Feng.
“Die.”
Old Qu snorted coldly and slapped his palm toward Li Feng.
Boom!
Powerful palm force swept in all directions. The clothes of the surrounding Beiming family members fluttered wildly in the strong wind, making loud flapping sounds. A few with weaker strength who stood closer were forced to retreat again and again.
Bang!
The ten-metre distance vanished in an instant. The massive palm energy crashed down, twisting the air. But Old Qu’s face suddenly turned extremely ugly.
Because Li Feng, who had just been right in front of him, disappeared without a trace in that moment.
How was this possible? Li Feng’s strength being formidable was one thing, but how could his speed be so fast?
Before Old Qu could react, a fierce gust of wind came from behind him.
“Old man, you’re nothing special after all.”
Li Feng stood behind Old Qu, sneered, and swung his large blade fiercely. A long blade light shot toward Old Qu as fast as lightning.
Old Qu was startled. He immediately turned and slapped a palm backward.
Boom!
A loud explosion rang out. Energy scattered in all directions. Old Qu groaned, and his whole body staggered unsteadily from the shock.
Li Feng’s gaze burned like fire. How could he let go of such an opportunity? With a cold shout, he punched out with his left hand.
“Cloud-Pushing Palm: Move Mountains and Fill Seas.”
Li Feng slapped out a palm. A huge palm energy flew forward. The surrounding air began to twist as it charged straight toward Old Qu’s chest.
“Not good.”
Old Qu’s expression changed. A trace of gravity flashed across his face. He spun his body and slapped out several palms in succession.
Bang bang bang…
Boom boom boom…
Old Qu felt a massive force hit him. His whole body retreated several steps. He looked at Li Feng in disbelief. “I never expected this old man to underestimate you.”
The unexpectedly fast speed and ferocious attacks made a trace of gravity appear in Old Qu’s eyes. Although he was half-step innate, he was not skilled in speed. So at this moment, Li Feng’s speed made him extremely wary.
“Old man, you’re nothing special.” Li Feng felt some regret. His strike just now had not injured this old fellow at all. It seemed he had underestimated him.
At the same time, Li Feng also discovered Old Qu’s weakness, which was speed. Earlier, when he used Phantom Nine Layers to dodge the attack, this old fellow had not reacted in time. To Li Feng, this was somewhat unbelievable.
Apart from cultivation resources, what mattered most to martial artists were techniques and martial skills. Martial skills included movement techniques, fist techniques, palm techniques, and so on. But in Li Feng’s view, among all these martial skills, movement techniques were the most important.
Li Feng had many martial skills. He cultivated Cloud-Pushing Palm, Dragon Roar Palm, Heaven and Earth Blade Technique, and others. But in his usual training, he rarely practised these techniques, because what he trained most often was Phantom Nine Layers.
In Li Feng’s opinion, Phantom Nine Layers was his life-saving treasure. Even if he did not practise other martial skills, he would never give up on Phantom Nine Layers. So seeing that Old Qu had almost no movement technique at all struck Li Feng as unbelievable.
“Hmph.” Old Qu snorted coldly, feeling a bit embarrassed and angry. He knew he was lacking in movement techniques. It was not that he was unaware of it. He simply had not found a suitable movement technique that matched his cultivation method. On top of that, he had made a mistake in his cultivation when he was young, and he had never been able to correct it up to now.
“Kid, don’t get cocky. Your movement technique may be good, but killing you would be easy for this old man.” Old Qu looked coldly at Li Feng.
“Old man, do you really think you have the ability to kill me?” Li Feng sneered with disdain. If Old Qu had decent movement technique, and with Uncle Li and the others joining in, Li Feng would have had no chance of winning today. But Old Qu’s movement technique was not much better than Hu Yuanyuan’s. Even if he faced a siege from these people, Li Feng was not unable to cope.
Still, Li Feng understood that although Old Qu was poor in movement technique, his strength was still quite good. Killing him, even in a one-on-one fight, would not be easy.
“Hmph, who says I can’t kill you.” Old Qu snorted coldly. He tapped his toe and charged toward Li Feng.
“Die.”
His palms flipped. Palm shadows flew everywhere. Countless palm energies shot out through the air, sealing off Li Feng from all directions in layers.
The palm energies were dense and packed, like towering mountains. They carried terrifying energy and crashed toward Li Feng with the momentum of thunder, fierce and domineering.
Bang bang bang…
Where the palm energies passed, sand and stones flew on the ground. They were about to hit Li Feng.
But in that instant, Li Feng’s figure suddenly flickered strangely. He changed direction and slipped past the dense palm energies.
The surrounding Beiming family members stared with wide eyes, watching this scene in disbelief.
Such dense palm energies, such an all-encompassing, no-dead-angle attack, and Li Feng had actually dodged it. How was this possible? How could Li Feng dodge it so easily?
Was Li Feng’s strength too great?
Or was Old Qu’s strength too weak?
But as members of the Beiming family, they knew very well how powerful Old Qu was. In the mouths of the family’s higher-ups, it had once been said that Old Qu could become an innate expert in no more than two years at the slowest.
An innate expert. At that point, he would be at the level of an elder in the Beiming family. People like that were all old monsters. How could Li Feng’s strength possibly compare to Old Qu’s? He was so young.
Seeing Li Feng avoid his palm energies, Old Qu’s face turned livid. If the first time was an accident, could the second time also be an accident? Li Feng’s movement technique was formidable. He could dodge his attacks.
Damn it!
A trace of anger flashed in Old Qu’s eyes. At the same time, he continued to slap out another palm.
“I refuse to believe you can still dodge this.”
Old Qu changed his palm technique. If the previous palm strikes had been like continuous fine rain, then the current ones were like a violent storm. They came fast as lightning, slapping toward Li Feng’s body.
The calm expression on Li Feng’s face finally changed at this moment. His gaze turned cold.
Li Feng instantly pushed Phantom Nine Layers to its limit. His entire body turned into three figures, shooting out in three different directions.
Bang bang…
Two of the figures were hit by the palm energies and shattered instantly. But Li Feng narrowly avoided the attack.
Old Qu failed to hit Li Feng with both attacks. His face became even uglier.
Those two palms just now were his most ferocious strikes. Even someone at the same realm as him would not be able to withstand them. Even an innate first-layer ancient martial artist would find it extremely difficult to block.
Yet Li Feng had dodged his attacks with ease. Was Li Feng’s movement technique really that strong?
At this moment, he finally realised he had underestimated Li Feng’s movement technique.
It seemed killing Li Feng would not be an easy task.
Whoosh!
Li Feng steadied himself. But a palm print had been left on his clothes. Although the palm print caused him no injury at all, the whole thing had been far too dangerous.
Li Feng’s expression looked somewhat ugly. His cold gaze shot straight at Old Qu. “Old man, I didn’t expect I had underestimated you. Although your movement technique is like an idiot’s, your strength is still decent. But today, even if you were an innate expert, I would still kill you.”
“Big words. Kid, you’re only relying on your movement technique to dodge my attacks. Can you actually kill me?” Old Qu snorted coldly. Li Feng’s movement technique was strange. He could not kill Li Feng in a short time. But for Li Feng to kill him? That was simply impossible. Strong movement technique did not necessarily mean strong attacks. He did not believe Li Feng had the strength to kill him.
“Old man, you’ll find out very soon.”
Whoosh!
Li Feng’s figure flashed. His body disappeared from everyone’s sight. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Old Qu. He swung his large blade. Blade lights shot out from the blade one after another, pouring toward Old Qu like a violent storm.
Boom boom boom…
In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged dozens of moves. Blade lights flashed. Palm energies surged. Sand and stones flew. The entire ground looked as if it had been scraped off a layer.
In terms of cultivation, Li Feng was at the eighth layer of Qi Refining, while Old Qu was half-step innate. But Li Feng focused on body refinement. His combat power was two levels higher than his actual realm. So even though Old Qu was half-step innate, at this moment he could only fight Li Feng on equal terms.
If not for Uncle Li and those few ninth-layer Acquired Realm experts, and if Li Feng were not worried they would join Old Qu to surround and kill him, killing Old Qu right now would not be a difficult task for him.
Moreover, in terms of movement technique, Old Qu could not even come close to Li Feng. Even if Li Feng could not beat Old Qu, he could use his movement technique to remain undefeated.
At this moment, Li Feng relied on his movement technique to circle around Old Qu and attack. Whenever Old Qu’s attack came, Li Feng used Phantom Nine Layers to dodge. At the same time, he moved to Old Qu’s other side and launched fierce attacks.
“How is this possible?”
Uncle Li watched Li Feng and Old Qu fighting. His face turned ashen. Disbelief flashed in his eyes. Li Feng was actually this powerful. Even Old Qu was not his match.
At this moment, Uncle Li, who had never blamed Beiming Qi before, suddenly started blaming him. He felt that if Beiming Qi had not played around with women and provoked this person, no one would have come looking for trouble now.
Of course, if Uncle Li knew Li Feng’s true purpose for coming, he might have been furious enough to spit blood.
But at this moment, Uncle Li was troubled by the situation before him. Judging from the current fight between Old Qu and Li Feng, it would be very difficult for Old Qu to kill Li Feng. If things went wrong, Old Qu might even be counter-killed by Li Feng. If that happened, no one would be able to kill Li Feng today. Their people might all die at Li Feng’s hands.
Even if Li Feng could not beat Old Qu, with Li Feng’s movement technique, if he wanted to escape, no one could stop him. And Li Feng was so young. The next time he appeared, he might already be an innate expert. At that point, the Beiming family might face total destruction.
So today, no matter what, Li Feng had to die here.
Then, the only hope of killing Li Feng was to surround and attack him, gathering everyone’s strength to take him down.
