Chapter 1044: More Monstrous Than Xuanyuan
After muttering to himself, the young man grinned and said, "Refreshing! Let's go again!"
With that, he stepped forward again, crossing the distance in a single stride to stand before Lin Feng.
"Roar!" A terrifying punch blasted out, like the roar of a demonic beast. Space trembled, emitting a rumbling, dreadful sound. Even his entire arm was covered in flowing light, his sleeve tearing to reveal incredibly solid muscle lines—extremely fearsome.
"Buzz!" Lin Feng focused his mind, gathering all his power into his fist. Waves of demonic force continuously spread outward, along with sword light and the aura of flame. As his foot stomped down, it felt as if heaven and earth were splitting apart. The moment Lin Feng's fist shot out, it seemed the spatial momentum moved with his fist, and all those terrifying forces merged into that momentum.
"Boom!" An incredibly violent explosion sounded in the void. A furious roar echoed between heaven and earth—wild and unrestrained.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Wave after wave of terrifying fist force surged into Lin Feng like a tidal wave, threatening to shatter even the full power he had merged with the momentum. This force was so savage it was horrifying.
"Good! Push me back!" Lin Feng roared. Instead of retreating, he stepped forward. The overwhelming momentum of nature rolled forward, surging against the tide. A wildly savage hurricane swept toward his opponent.
"Explode! Roar!" The young man bellowed, sending another wave of terrifying force crashing toward Lin Feng. It was like the Ninefold Wave technique Lin Feng had cultivated when he first entered the martial path, but thousands or tens of thousands of times more powerful. Each wave of explosive force could annihilate a person.
"Rumble!" The void itself seemed about to turn to powder. The violent force cut into their faces like knives.
"Hahaha! You still won't retreat? Fine, try this again! Explode!"
"Boom, boom, boom!" Another wave of force surged out with even greater ferocity, making Lin Feng feel suffocated—as if he were facing the pressure of the Eighth Layer. The bloodline power within him churned and condensed into his fist. His face grim, Lin Feng stepped forward once more. With a thunderous sound, a beam of light pierced from heaven to earth, piercing through everything. The surrounding trees exploded into dust, yet their fists remained locked together.
"Refreshing!" The young man laughed wildly. The laughter seemed to make space itself tremble and hum. The terrifying force in his fist finally receded like a tide. Sensing his opponent withdrawing his power, Lin Feng did the same. Both of them stepped back several paces, staring at each other in shock.
"His strength seems even more terrifying than Xuanyuan Potian's. And he might not even be going all out. If he suppressed his cultivation and fought at his true Seventh Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, he could overpower Xuanyuan Potian in raw strength!" Lin Feng was shaken. Another prodigy. The Eight Wastelands was filled with powerful experts and countless geniuses. Xuanyuan Potian was a genius of the Northern Wasteland, but other regions of the Eight Wastelands probably had their own monstrous talents, just like this man before him.
"I haven't had this much fun in a long time. You dared to clash head-on with me like that. I believe you're not the type to run away easily. What's your name?" the young man asked with a grin. His shock was no less than Lin Feng's. An ordinary-looking person could actually fight him to this extent—truly rare.
"Lin Feng. And you?" Lin Feng could see the other party meant no harm and seemed like a straightforward person. A smile appeared on his face. With his opponent's terrifying strength, if he wanted to kill him, he wouldn't need to play games.
"My name is Yuan Fei," the young man said with a smile. "It's rare to meet someone I get along with. How about we travel together?"
Travel together?
Lin Feng was startled. If he traveled with this man, it would indeed be much safer. But he still had a mission and needed to leave the Trial Ground as quickly as possible.
"Don't worry. You're probably one of the Martial Emperor's Disciples here for the trial. I won't interfere with your actions. But if we run into those bastards from the Shadow Hunters, I'll definitely teach them a lesson for you. What I hate most are those sneaky, skulking rats—and their teacher too. What kind of crap 'Assassin Emperor'? Isn't he just someone who can't show his face?"
Yuan Fei said bluntly, making Lin Feng's expression stiffen. He was speechless. Crap Assassin Emperor? Can't show his face?
Wiping the cold sweat from his brow, Lin Feng finally understood what it meant to be bold. Even an Emperor dared to curse. Xuanyuan Potian wouldn't dare do that, would he?
"Come on, Lin Feng. Let's head back and see if those little brats have followed us," Yuan Fei said loudly, his voice still booming. He walked back in the direction Lin Feng had come from, actually intending to find those Shadow Hunters.
A strange smile appeared on Lin Feng's face. It seemed he had really run into a monster. Lifting his foot, he followed Yuan Fei.
After a while, a rustling sound came, like a faint wind. A chill descended again, making Lin Feng's expression tighten. They were here. That feeling again. These killers lurking in the shadows gave off a bone-piercing coldness.
"You really did come. Get out here yourselves," Yuan Fei's loud voice echoed through space, met with silence.
"Yuan Fei!" A cold, piercing voice sounded, carrying a bone-chilling coldness.
"It seems Yuan Fei is as famous as Xuanyuan Potian," Lin Feng thought to himself. From the tone of that cold voice, there was a hint of gnashing teeth, but also a trace of fear.
"What does your grandpa Yuan want? If you don't come out, I'll do it myself," Yuan Fei cursed.
"Yuan Fei, this has nothing to do with you. Don't go too far. Do you really think we don't dare kill you?" The other party's voice was ice-cold. Yuan Fei exhaled, then turned to Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, back off a bit and cover your ears!"
"Oh?" Lin Feng's expression froze, then he nodded slightly and retreated, instantly moving several thousand meters away.
Yuan Fei stared coldly ahead. His pitch-black, enormous eyes held a wild intent. Opening his mouth, it seemed larger than an ordinary person's.
"Roar..."
"Roar, roar, roar..."
A rolling roar erupted from Yuan Fei's mouth. Heaven and earth split apart. The terrifying roar shook space, sending a wild hurricane spreading in all directions.
"Boom! Boom! Rumble!" Everything exploded into powder and dust, reduced to nothing.
An immense force rolled toward Lin Feng. His body trembled violently. With a "wah," he spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.
"Damn it!"
Lin Feng felt as if his internal organs were about to rupture. His body crashed into trees, shattering them. His head buzzed. The power of a single roar was terrifying to this extent?
In a daze, Lin Feng saw Yuan Fei's body rush out like a phantom.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Three terrifying explosions sounded—bodies exploding. Yuan Fei had used his terrifying roar to shake the enemies out of hiding, then instantly charged over and killed them. His strength was simply appalling.
Lying on the ground, Lin Feng shook his head, spat out some clotted blood, and stabilized his churning aura. This guy was a freak. Lin Feng was starting to believe what Yuan Fei had said—even if he used that terrifying speed of his, if Yuan Fei wanted to kill him, he might not be able to escape.
"Buzz!" A figure flashed over. Yuan Fei appeared before Lin Feng. Seeing that he had injured Lin Feng, Yuan Fei scratched his head sheepishly and said apologetically, "Didn't I tell you to back off and cover your ears?"
Lin Feng shot him a glare. "How was I supposed to know you were such a freak?"
"Uh..." Yuan Fei smiled awkwardly. "I used a bit too much force. But I'm glad I held back a little, or you'd be worse off."
"Cough, cough..." Lin Feng almost spat out blood again from Yuan Fei's words. He held back? If Yuan Fei had gone all out, would he have directly shaken Lin Feng to death?
"Nothing serious, right?" Yuan Fei asked sheepishly.
"No, just my internal organs nearly shattered," Lin Feng muttered. Yuan Fei was stunned for a moment, then grinned apologetically!
