Chi~
His claws were like the hook, creating formless gashes in the air as he swiped down, tearing apart Feng Shaoyou's scales.
Feng Shaoyou had a look of fear on his face. He didn't expect Feng Lin's temperament to be so ruthless and decisive. Feng Lin could actually endure the pain caused by the barrage of energy attacks and borrowed the force to increase his momentum.
The momentum increased Feng Lin's speed. His entire body was like a jet aircraft, instantly appearing before Feng Shaoyou.
For a moment, Feng Shaoyou couldn't react in time. He could only unleash his Dragonsnake Fist once more. Both his hands wrapped around like the entwinement of dragons and snakes, instantly blasting out.
Feng Lin didn't relax his vigilance. His fists were like thunderbolts, punching out with immense power.
BOOM!
Both of them weren't willing to back off and collided head-on once more. The impact of their blows instantly caused a storm of energy to manifest, gushing out to their surroundings.
Feng Lin didn't retreat. His body spun about in the air like a spinning top as he unleashed punches and kicks. Every part of his body was a weapon, and his figure moved so quickly that he transformed into a series of after-images as he lunged toward Feng Shaoyou, unleashing a frenzied barrage.
He had already seen through all of Feng Shaoyou's abilities.
Although this Feng Shaoyou was a cultivator that had come from interstellar space, his abilities leaned toward energy attacks. For close combat, he only depended on his powerful vitality stats to carry him through. His close-combat methods weren't that powerful.
His entire body was covered in scales and although it gave him a tough outer layer of defense, once this layer was breached, his flesh was still extremely weak. He wouldn't be able to endure intense damage.
Hence, Feng Lin had to keep up his attack tempo, completely focusing on breaching the outer layer of defense. As long as Feng Shaoyou was kept busy fending him off, he would no longer be able to use that terrifying method where he could control the four spirit beasts.
Half-step Bumping Fist!
Vajra Dragon Claw!
Sky Flipping Hammer Imprint!
...
Feng Lin executed all of his skills, frenziedly attacking, not allowing Feng Shaoyou to have any chance to catch his breath.
However, what made him astonished was that no matter what techniques he unleashed, although Feng Shaoyou appeared to be in a sorry state, he could still manage to defend himself, not allowing himself to be defeated.
Feng Lin couldn't help but glance at Feng Shaoyou's eyes. The four elements rune was still revolving. It resembled a kaleidoscope, reflecting all of his moves.
So it is eye force?
Feng Lin suddenly understood. Since the Four Elements Eye was a transcendent ability that had a connection to one's eyes, other than being able to control the four base energy types, it also allowed the user to have an extremely powerful observation.
This was troublesome. Cultivators from interstellar space truly had too many trump cards.
Feng Lin felt that he could unleash all his repertoire, but Feng Shaoyou would still have a way to respond. It was very tough for him to gain victory.
He already had thoughts of fleeing the battle.
After all, this was at the top level of the Feng Clan Grand Building. If they continued to fight, the commotion would be able to easily attract the attention of others.
At that time, it would be difficult if he wanted to leave!
He didn't want to create a huge commotion. He only wanted to quietly develop his strength right now.
Feng Lin had already freed himself from the clan's restriction. Next, as long as he could stably develop himself with nothing to disrupt him, it would be a sure thing for him to rise.
Being cautious was the correct path! Slowly developing his strength was hard logic! Why should he entangle himself with so many issues and delay his cultivation?
However, this Feng Shaoyou was reluctant to give up, and it was tough for Feng Lin to break free from him given that the four spirit beasts were still nearby.
Once Feng Lin distanced himself from Feng Shaoyou, the four spirit beasts would surely lunge over as Feng Shaoyou assumed control of them again.
It wasn't so easy if he wanted to leave safely!
So, Feng Lin needed to suppress Feng Shaoyou now. He had to ensure that Feng Shaoyou wouldn't have any more strength left to manifest the four spirit beasts. Only then would he be able to leave.
It wouldn't do if he didn't unleash his true capabilities.
Feng Lin's eyelids lowered as he silently mused. If he still held back now when facing against such a powerful opponent, he would be courting death.
With regards to the battle experience, Feng Lin had tempered himself through many dangerous situations before he climbed to this point. He was confident that he wasn't inferior to Feng Shaoyou in terms of that.
Since there was no way for him to flee, he might as well just focused everything he had on attacking!
Brawling like real men, who was afraid of who?
Feng Shaoyou kneaded his fingers, causing them to resemble drills as they blasted toward Feng Lin.
Feng Lin didn't evade and faced this move head-on. His face was red from his exertions, but he still laughed out loud. His hands took on the shape of claws as he grabbed hold of Feng Shaoyou's wrists.
"What?" Feng Shaoyou's attacks successfully landed but he was shocked. He didn't expect Feng Lin would do this.
He hurriedly tried to shake himself free, wanting to retreat.
However, since Feng Lin took his last attack freely, how could he let this go to waste? How was it possible that he would release Feng Shaoyou?
His hands were like iron hoops, securely grabbing on Feng Shaoyou, not allowing him to move at all.
Binding Immortal Rope Imprint.
His hands around Feng Shaoyou's wrists were like dead knots, just like the legendary rope that could even bind immortals. How could just a mere cultivator be able to struggle free?
Feng Lin increased the force of his grab, causing Feng Shaoyou to scream in pain.
The four spirit beasts were roaring with anger at the side, but they didn't dare to rush forward.
Feng Shaoyou twisted his body around abruptly, generating a huge gale of wind, wanting to struggle free. However, Feng Lin was like gangrene corroding his bones. No matter what, Feng Lin refused to release his hold.
The two of them were stuck together, and their struggle caused deafening sounds to ring out thunderously.
Snake Movement Scale Concealment!
Seeing that he was unable to shake free using force, Feng Shaoyou unleashed another wondrous movement technique. His scaly body suddenly secreted grease and became extremely slippery. The size of his huge body also seemed to have shrunk by 30% as he leaped into the air with great force, using the momentum to slither out from Feng Lin's grasp.
"Where do you think you are going?" This time, it was Feng Lin's turn to say this. He reacted quickly and managed to grab hold of Feng Shaoyou's tail.
Ha!
Feng Lin let out a loud shout as he exerted the entirety of his strength. It felt like he was trying to carry up a mountain as he swung Feng Shaoyou about by grabbing his tail. He increased the speed of his rotations, and Feng Shaoyou's arms flailed about as his entire person was being spun like an electric fan by Feng Lin.
Feng Shaoyou only saw his vision rapidly spinning. He felt as though the heavens and earth had turned topsy-turvy, and he was extremely giddy.
Having never been in such a miserable situation before, he was extremely mad. The four elements rune in his eyes spun rapidly, frenziedly unleashing the power of the four base elements.
The four spirit beasts also moved.
The azure dragon soared into the sky, its roars reverberating in the air.
The vermillion bird spread its wings, throwing its head back and giving an ear-splitting screech.
The white tiger lunged forth, its howl shaking the heavens.
The black tortoise crawled forward, trembling the earth with each step.
The four spirit beasts occupied four directions and were moving toward Feng Lin. The four types of energy—earth, wind, water, fire—churned chaotically, forming energy waves that could be seen. They were like waves of the ocean gushing forward, wanting to swallow Feng Lin whole.
"Great that all of you come!" At this moment, Feng Lin wasn't shocked but was happy instead.
"SCRAM FOR ME!"
He exerted more strength and tossed Feng Shaoyou toward them like how one would toss a sandbag.
Feng Shaoyou screamed in shock. His entire body smashed into the four spirit beasts as the situation turned chaotic.
The roars of the beasts and his screams mingled together. The originally tight attacking structure had already collapsed completely.
If he didn't leave now, when would he leave?
Feng Lin's eyes gleamed; he saw an opening. He didn't say anything more and hurriedly sped up, rapidly leaving here with no hesitation.
"What's going on?"
"Why is there such a huge commotion at the top level? Are there people fighting there?"
"Let's go and take a look!"
...
Finally, the loud noises drew the attention of the Feng clansmen to the top level. The sounds of hurried footsteps rang out as many people rushed over here.
Feng Shaoyou's body swayed as he climbed to his feet. He was smashed so badly from the impact that his head was spinning.
Upon hearing the commotion, his expression suddenly changed. With a sweep of his eyes, he discovered that Feng Lin had already disappeared, and there was no longer time to catch up to him.
He mustn't stay here any longer. If not, he would definitely lose face if the branch clan members saw how sorry he looked now.
Feng Shaoyou grimaced. His expression turned dark as he thought about Feng Lin.
I shall spare you for now, but the next time...
The four spirit beasts also dissipated back into thin air. Feng Shaoyou's body transformed into shadows as he vanished from the area.
The end result of an intense battle: there was a beginning but no conclusion.
"What happened here exactly?" After some time, a group of clansmen rushed over. When they saw the damage done to the surroundings, all of them exchanged mutual glances.
Even the alloy walls were dented and there was a hole in one of them. Clearly, a great battle had unfolded here.
Staring at the traces of the battle, it was clear that the damage could have only been done by the strength of cultivators.
But who would dare to wreck the surroundings of the top level?
For the clan leader, as he stared at his surroundings, he suddenly thought of something as shock filled his heart.
Could it be... ?
He glanced at the far corner; there was an escalade there. If someone wished to leave the top level, they had to leave from there. However, Feng Lin was already long gone. It was useless even if he wanted to trace his movements now.
Flicking his sleeves and leaving after doing what he had to do, not bothering to reveal his achievements to anyone else.
