Mainland Martial Arts

Chapter 144 1 Knives

The gloomy sky seemed like a giant leaden curtain, weighing heavily upon everyone's heads, suffocating them. The air was thick with the smell of blood and death, as if it was dragging the entire world into endless darkness.

Lin Feng stood there quietly, staring at Big Bear with a cold and determined gaze. He stood tall and straight, like a silent mountain, exuding an elusive aura.

Big Bear felt frightened by Lin Feng's gaze. He thought Lin Feng would tremble under his majesty, but at this moment Lin Feng was like a statue, motionless.

"Boy, are you playing tricks on me?" Big Bear shouted, his voice full of anger and anxiety.

Lin Feng remained silent, his eyes showing no fluctuation at all.

Big Bear was completely enraged. His face flushed crimson, and veins popped out on his forehead. "Go to hell, boy!" he roared, raising the gleaming sword in his hand and slashing at Lin Feng with all his strength. This blow was filled with the determination to kill, as if to split Lin Feng in half in an instant.

Village Chief Fenghao was watching this scene from the sidelines, his heart instantly gripping him. His face was pale, his lips trembling. "Child, be careful!" His voice was filled with extreme worry, and his hands unconsciously clenched their crutches.

The surrounding villagers were also frightened by this sudden scene. Some covered their eyes, not daring to look directly at it; others stared with their eyes wide open, their faces filled with fear, even their breathing seemed to stop.

Lu Hai, in the crowd, was also bewildered. He couldn't understand why Lin Feng didn't dodge or fight back. "Lin Feng, what on earth are you doing?" he cried anxiously in his heart. A deep regret welled up in his heart. He regretted dragging Lin Feng into this life-and-death battle. If anything happened to Lin Feng, he would never forgive himself in his life.

The pirates looked at him with contempt and ridicule.

"This kid must have been scared silly by our leader. He can't even hide."

"Haha, you have such little courage, yet you dare to go against us."

They laughed wildly, as if they had already seen the tragic scene of Lin Feng being killed by a single knife.

With a whirring sound, Da Xiong's broadsword came hurtling down towards Lin Feng's head with the force of a mountain. Just as the sharp blade was about to touch Lin Feng's head, a miracle occurred. The broadsword seemed to be pinned in mid-air by an invisible and powerful force, motionless.

At first, the surrounding pirates thought that their leader was deliberately playing a trick on them, and they all shouted excitedly.

"Chief, stop playing around and kill him!"

"Let this kid see how powerful you are!"

However, Big Bear found that no matter how hard he tried, the knife seemed to be cast into solid rock and could not be moved at all. Beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with confusion and fear.

"This...how is this possible?" Big Bear's voice trembled. He tried to retract the knife, but found that he couldn't do it at all.

The pirates who were still shouting gradually realized that something was wrong and shut their mouths. The smiles on their faces froze instantly, replaced by expressions of disbelief.

The shadow of fear began to spread in Daxiong's heart. He couldn't understand how Lin Feng, who looked young and weak, could have such powerful strength.

"Impossible! Impossible! You are still so young!" Big Bear kept muttering, his voice full of despair and unwillingness.

Extreme fear made him lose his mind. He suddenly let go of the knife in his hand and swung his strong fist towards Lin Feng's face.

However, just like before, when the fist was about to touch Lin Feng's face, he seemed to be cast under a spell and instantly froze in place, unable to move.

Lin Feng slowly raised his hand and easily picked up the sword hanging above his head. He took two steps towards the pirates around him with an expressionless face, his eyes as cold as ice.

"Villagers, leave quickly!" Lin Feng shouted loudly, his voice firm and powerful.

When the villagers heard Lin Feng's shout, they woke up as if from a dream and retreated to the rear.

The remaining pirates were at a loss when they saw this scene. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and confusion.

"Don't be afraid, he's alone, let's attack together!" a brave pirate shouted, trying to encourage others to attack together.

The other pirates hesitated for a moment, but driven by the desire to survive and the instigation of their companions, they finally rushed towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng stood there, quietly watching the pirates rushing towards him, his eyes devoid of panic or fear. He raised the sword in his hand and swung it vigorously.

A sharp blade of energy instantly whizzed out from the blade. This blade of energy was invisible and colorless, yet it carried the power to destroy the world. It passed through the sky like a flash of lightning.

The villagers watched all this in shock, their mouths open wide, their eyes bulging, completely stunned by the unimaginable scene before them.

Lu Hai and Feng Hao also stared blankly, their faces full of disbelief and shock.

The blades whizzed past the pirates' waists, and those at the front felt a chill run down their spines before they could even react. Then, their upper bodies slowly slid down, their lower bodies remaining upright for a moment before collapsing with a thud. Blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the ground beneath their feet red.

The blade then continued forward, striking the pirate ship anchored near the shore. With a deafening roar, the vessel was neatly sliced ​​in half. The lower section sank first into the turbulent sea, stirring up massive waves and whirlpools. The upper section also began to tilt slowly, then slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, leaving only a floating debris and dissipating foam.

Lin Feng's expression remained indifferent to all this, as if it were just a trivial game. He slowly walked back to the immobilized Big Bear and looked down at him.

Big Bear was now terrified, his face pale, his body trembling, beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks. His eyes no longer held the fierceness and arrogance they had before, only deep fear and despair.

Lin Feng's expression was stern, and he walked steadily back to the bear. He slowly raised his palm, facing the bear. A faint wisp of light blue Qi emerged, like a nimble gossamer thread, and accurately penetrated the bear's body.

Big Bear felt a strange force instantly surge through his body, his once stiff body finally regaining consciousness. However, when he looked back in fear, the sight before him made his heart sink as if into an ice cellar. The pirates who had once shared his rampage had been cut in half, lying in a pool of blood, a horrific sight. And the pirate ship, a symbol of their arrogance, had sunk into the sea, leaving only a few broken planks bobbing in the waves.
