Chapter 187 Testing

Just as Lin Feng took his second step, the old man suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was deep and sharp, as if it could penetrate a person's soul. He looked at Lin Feng quietly, without saying a word, but his eyes revealed a strong sense of pressure.

Lin Feng's heart tightened when he saw the old man's gaze. He stopped and didn't dare to move forward. He knew that the old man's strength was far superior to his. If he forced his way forward, he would probably be attacked even more fiercely.

"Young man, do you know that the Nine Emperors Pavilion is not a place you can easily enter?" The old man finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse, as if it was a call from ancient times.

Lin Feng was slightly startled; he hadn't expected the old man to speak so suddenly. He gathered himself and replied, "Senior, I know the Nine Emperors Pavilion is powerful, but I've come here for an important matter. I must see your Pavilion Master. I beg for your leniency."

The old man shook his head slightly and said, "The affairs of the Nine Emperor Pavilion are not something a young man like you can interfere in. You'd better go back, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself."

Lin Feng's eyes became more determined, and he said, "Senior, I can't go back. This matter concerns a person's happiness, and I must fight for her. I beg for your help."

The old man was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up. He was tall and straight, and despite his age, he exuded a powerful aura. He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Young man, you have courage, but you are also foolish. The decision of the Nine Emperors Pavilion is not something you can change. Do you think you can challenge the authority of the Nine Emperors Pavilion on your own?"

Lin Feng stood there, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his eyes gleaming with determination and fearlessness. He wore a black suit, the patterns on it faintly visible in the dim light, as if imbued with mysterious power. His long hair fluttered gently in the wind, adding a touch of uninhibited and free-spiritedness.

He looked at the old man in front of him warily, his heart filled with caution. The old man exuded an unfathomable aura, making Lin Feng dare not be careless in the slightest. Lin Feng's eyes revealed a look of neither servility nor arrogance. He knew that he could not retreat. No matter how great the difficulties ahead, he must face them bravely.

"Since Senior is unwilling to let me pass, then I will charge forward." Lin Feng's voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the silent mountains. His words were filled with determination and courage, as if nothing could stop him from moving forward.

After saying this, Lin Feng clenched his fists, and the Qi in his body began to flow slowly. He could feel his strength gathering, and every cell in his body was filled with the desire to fight. His eyes became sharper, like two sharp swords, able to penetrate all obstacles.

The old man looked at Lin Feng, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected this young man to be so brave, to dare challenge him. But he didn't dare underestimate Lin Feng either. After all, anyone who could come here was no weakling. The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and his aura gradually emanated from him. He took a stance, ready to meet Lin Feng's attack.

The old man wore a gray robe with faint lines, like the marks of time. His hair was gray, but neatly combed. The wrinkles on his face were like ravines, crisscrossing, but he exuded the calmness of someone who had experienced the vicissitudes of life. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through people's souls.

Lin Feng took a step forward, his figure rushing towards the old man like lightning. His fist smashed into the old man's chest with great force. The wind from his fist whistled, and the air seemed to be torn apart. His movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this, the old man's eyes focused, and he quickly stretched out his palm to meet Lin Feng's fist. His palm was also condensed with powerful true energy, and it collided with Lin Feng's fist.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the two's power collided, generating a powerful shockwave. The Qi spread out in all directions, exploding upon impact with some rocks. The debris flew everywhere, making a crisp sound.

Lin Feng only felt a powerful force coming from his fist, and his body shook slightly, but he did not retreat. He gritted his teeth and continued to increase his strength to fight against the old man.

The old man also felt Lin Feng's power and was secretly surprised. This young man was so powerful that he couldn't take him lightly. The old man circulated his inner Qi, increasing his strength to the extreme, and launched a fierce confrontation with Lin Feng.

The two figures moved swiftly across the mountain, punching and kicking, each collision generating a powerful force. Their fight caused the surrounding clouds to swirl, as if a storm was about to break out.

Lin Feng's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He constantly searched for the old man's weaknesses, trying to break through his defenses. His moves were sharp and decisive, and each punch carried a powerful force. He had only one belief in his heart: to pass this level and meet the master of the Nine Emperors Pavilion.

The old man appeared calm and composed. Relying on his rich experience and immense strength, he repeatedly neutralized Lin Feng's attacks. His moves seemed ordinary, yet they contained infinite variations. His eyes revealed a calm and composed look, as if everything was under his control.

"Young man, your strength is not bad, but it's far from enough to get past me." The old man said as he fought Lin Feng. His voice was low and hoarse, like a call from ancient times.

Lin Feng did not answer, he just continued to attack silently. He knew that now was not the time to talk, only with strength could he prove himself.

The two continued to clash, the battle growing more intense. Their figures moved swiftly across the mountain like two bolts of lightning chasing each other. Their power collided, creating a shockwave that shook the surrounding trees.

Beads of sweat began to form on Lin Feng's forehead, and his breathing became rapid. But his eyes remained firm, and he showed no sign of retreating. He knew he couldn't give up, he had to persevere.

The old man also felt Lin Feng's tenacity and secretly admired this young man. But he couldn't let Lin Feng get through. He had to protect the dignity of the Nine Emperors Pavilion.

"Young man, if you continue like this, you will only bring trouble upon yourself. I advise you to give up." The old man said again.

Lin Feng still didn't answer, his eyes filled with determination. He knew he couldn't give up. He had to get through this and see the head of the Nine Emperors Pavilion.

"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude." A cold light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he decided not to show mercy.
