Chapter 1458 - 1457: Lin Fan vs Ma Hongfei

"Screech~"

The fierce wooden staff sliced through the void, tearing the air apart completely, emitting a piercing sound of breaking wind!

Seeing the wooden staff in Lin Fan's hand smashing toward him, Ma Hongfei dared not be careless and hastily tilted his own wooden staff towards the air!

"Clang!"

The two wooden staffs clashed together, producing a crisp sound!

Both staffs were infused with their Powerful Qi, making them incredibly hard, like solid iron rods. This smash left both of them with a tingling sensation in their palms!

Ma Hongfei swiftly retracted his wooden staff, then lifted it high and once again aimed at Lin Fan's head!

With quick reflexes, Lin Fan held his staff single-handedly and gently flicked his arm, easily knocking Ma Hongfei's incoming wooden staff aside. Then, with a flip of his wrist, he quickly thrust the wooden staff forward, aiming directly at Ma Hongfei's throat!

Although the top of the wooden staff was flat, under Lin Fan's maneuver it was as sharp as a sword!

The cold wind generated by the staff, even before it arrived, made Ma Hongfei's throat feel cold and his hair stand on end!

Ma Hongfei immediately retreated quickly, but Lin Fan did not give Ma Hongfei a chance to dodge, striding towards him in pursuit!

Ma Hongfei's speed was not slow, but unfortunately, his retreat speed could not match Lin Fan's advancing speed. Soon, the wooden staff in Lin Fan's hand was getting closer and closer to Ma Hongfei's throat!

Ma Hongfei's face was extremely grave. At this moment, he had already retreated over a dozen steps, and within seven or eight more steps, he would reach the corner and be unable to retreat. If he tried to strike then, he absolutely could not stop Lin Fan!

Therefore, as Ma Hongfei quickly retreated, he rapidly swung his wooden staff, aiming to clash with Lin Fan's thrusting wooden staff!

"Bang," a dull sound echoed!

You could see the spot where the two wooden staffs collided disperse a burst of Powerful Qi!

Immediately, Ma Hongfei's arm holding the wooden staff trembled suddenly, and massive Powerful Qi was released from his arm, furiously channeling into the wooden staff!

Lin Fan chuckled lightly, similarly infusing Powerful Qi into his wooden staff, then via the staff, he struck towards the opponent!

Soon, the Powerful Qi released by both of them collided, instantly generating a series of muffled "bang bang bang" sounds, resembling firecrackers!

Ma Hongfei was merely at the Huajin realm, completely incomparable to Lin Fan. Quickly, the Powerful Qi from Lin Fan's wooden staff rebuffed the Qi released by Ma Hongfei, forcibly rushing into Ma Hongfei's wooden staff, rapidly crushing the Qi infused into it by Ma Hongfei from head to end!

If the Qi within the wooden staff were completely crushed, the Qi released by Lin Fan would directly penetrate Ma Hongfei's body, causing him serious internal injuries!

"Crack~"

Suddenly, at this moment, a crisp sound of breaking reached the ears of Lin Fan and Ma Hongfei!

The wooden staff in Lin Fan's hand had already been cracked with several lines previously and was now utterly unable to withstand Lin Fan's surging Qi, causing more cracks to splinter open!

How could Ma Hongfei let this opportunity slip by, swiftly waving his wooden staff and once again infusing a massive amount of Qi into it!

"Crack," a crisp sound echoed!

Finally, the wooden staff in Lin Fan's hand could not bear the frantic infusion of Qi and suddenly snapped apart!

"Hahaha! Your wooden staff is broken; let's see how you can defeat me!"

Ma Hongfei shouted triumphantly, swiftly shattering the Qi Lin Fan had infused into his own wooden staff, then brandishing his staff without giving Lin Fan the slightest chance to react, frenetically thrusting it towards Lin Fan's throat!

"Die!"

Ma Hongfei's mouth emitted a cold hiss!

Ma Hongfei's stab was both fast and fierce, catching Lin Fan completely by surprise!

However, as Lin Fan saw Ma Hongfei's wooden staff thrusting over, he showed no fear!

Lin Fan did not even use his eyes to observe the trajectory of Ma Hongfei's staff because it was too fast; judging it with eyes could lead to errors, and the cold wind from the staff would affect the accuracy of his sight!

When experts duel, they allow no room for the slightest mistake!

Lin Fan's ears gently trembled; he was using his ears to listen to the sound and speed of the wind from the staff to judge its distance from him!

At the same time, Lin Fan's heart became silent, sensing this thrust deeply!

One meter, half a meter, thirty centimeters, ten centimeters, five centimeters…

Just as the wooden staff was about to pierce Lin Fan's throat, suddenly Lin Fan moved!

His speed was swift, like a phantom; he slipped his steps, quickly sidestepping his body!

"Screech~"

The air was torn apart; the wooden staff pierced through the air, brushing past the side of Lin Fan's throat, narrowly missing, a near-miss!

"How is this possible?"

Seeing this, Ma Hongfei's face changed drastically!

Originally, he thought that even if this thrust couldn't kill Lin Fan, it could severely injure him!

But the scene before him was like a resounding slap, shattering his beautiful fantasy to pieces!

If Lin Fan had not absorbed the energy left inside him by General Bai Hu and General Qilin using the Heaven-Defying Fate Changing Technique, he naturally could not have dodged this thrust!

But after enhancing with Pill Force, Lin Fan had comprehensively elevated in essence from inside out!

After all, General Bai Hu and General Qilin were powerful figures from several hundred years ago, even older than Lin Kongxian and the others. The energy inside Lin Fan was the purest and most potent!

Even though Lin Fan used the Heaven-Defying Fate Changing Technique, he had yet to fully tap into this energy, as it remained deeply embedded within Lin Fan's body!

And as Ma Hongfei was absorbed in surprise, Lin Fan suddenly surged forward a big step; simultaneously, with a swift motion of his hand at his waist, he drew out a Soft Sword and thrust it towards Ma Hongfei's throat!

"Slash~"

The sharp sword tip pierced Ma Hongfei's skin!

However, Lin Fan did not strike fatally, as Ma Hongfei was still of use to him, merely piercing Ma Hongfei's skin at the throat with the sword tip, causing a slight trickle of blood!

"Don't move, the blade has no eyes. I can't guarantee whether my sword will pierce through your throat!" Lin Fan said coldly!

Ma Hongfei instinctively stopped his counterattack, feeling the broken skin at his throat, filled with dread yet also relief!

Lin Fan's action was incredibly fast, like a beam of light, leaving Ma Hongfei unable to see how Lin Fan struck!

Fortunately, Lin Fan did not deliver a fatal blow; otherwise… thinking of that consequence made Ma Hongfei's back shiver with cold!

This was a fear that stemmed from the soul!
