Mainland Martial Arts

Chapter 420 Demonstrating Strong Strength

Cao Xun then realized the mortal danger. His face instantly turned pale as paper, his eyes filled with fear and despair. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead uncontrollably, soaking his clothes. But he was the second elder of the Cao family after all, having experienced many hardships and knew that he now shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting everyone. He forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and shouted with all his strength, "Everyone, find shelter! Quick!"

The voice was a little hoarse amid the clamor of falling rocks, yet it still carried an undeniable majesty. However, faced with such dense and massive rocks, and trapped in a narrow canyon surrounded by steep cliffs, there was simply not enough space to hide.

For a moment, despair spread rapidly among the crowd like a plague. Helplessness and fear were written all over people's faces. They fled in panic, but like headless flies, they didn't know where to find safety. Shouts and screams intertwined together, turning this originally quiet canyon into a hell on earth in an instant.

Just as everyone felt their despair reach its peak, as if they had already seen the grim face of death beckoning them, a figure flashed like a ghost. Lin Feng flashed, instantly appearing in the middle of the crowd. He was like a god descending from the sky, carrying a powerful and mysterious aura, bringing a glimmer of hope to this hopeless place.

Lin Feng planted his feet firmly on the ground, his posture erect as a pine tree, his back straight, emanating a reassuring majesty and strength. He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward, and began to gather his strength. In an instant, the power of the surrounding heaven and earth, as if summoned by some mysterious force, surged from all directions like a trickle, converging in his palm.

As power continued to gather, faint fist shapes gradually formed in different places around him. Those fists radiated a soft yet dazzling light, a light that seemed to contain the power of the stars. It was mysterious and vast, like a gift from the depths of the universe, awe-inspiring.

Lin Feng's gaze grew deeper and more focused. He stared intently at the boulders falling from above, as if engaged in a silent yet thrilling battle with the merciless heaven and earth. His face was stern and serious, and the veins on his forehead bulged slightly, revealing the immense pressure he was under.

After his strength was fully gathered, Lin Feng suddenly shouted loudly. The sound was like a huge bell, resounding throughout the canyon, as if to shake the world. He swung his right fist and swung it vigorously at the falling stone above.

At the same time, fists formed by the power of heaven and earth, like arrows shot from a bow, whistling with the wind, piercing the air and hurtling towards the falling rocks. They collided violently with the rocks, and instantly, a deafening explosion echoed between heaven and earth. The sound was like the chaotic roar at the beginning of the universe, or like the simultaneous deafening of thousands of thunderbolts, causing the entire canyon to tremble violently, and broken rocks fell from the stone walls, raising a cloud of dust.

The immense impact force spread outward, forming a powerful energy storm. However, the upward force generated by Lin Feng's fist did not dissipate. Instead, it converged into a powerful shockwave like a surging ocean wave. This shockwave, engulfing the debris from the explosion, roared like an enraged beast, pushing it upward.

The debris flew and collided in the air, then was pushed around and rained down, sending up clouds of dust in the canyon. Fortunately, the debris eventually fell slowly, causing no harm to the Cao family or the bandits. Everyone who had survived the disaster gasped with lingering fear, their eyes filled with relief at having survived and gratitude towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's eyes remained fixed on both sides of the canyon, revealing a cold murderous intent, a gaze as solid as a substance, as if it could penetrate the stone walls and pull out the enemy hiding in the shadows. His face was as cold as ice, like a god of war returned from hell, and his entire body exuded a majesty and murderous aura that made people dare not look directly at him.

After being rescued, the Cao family and the bandits stared at Lin Feng in amazement, their faces filled with shock and awe. They were all experienced men, acquainted with the ins and outs of the martial arts world, and they knew full well that the power Lin Feng had just displayed was beyond the reach of an ordinary Grandmaster. It was a power beyond their comprehension, as if it came from another, mysterious world. They were both shocked and filled with endless curiosity and speculation about Lin Feng's identity.

Lin Feng said nothing more as he slowly drew the Star Blade from his back. As soon as the long sword was unsheathed, it gleamed with a chilling cold light in the morning light. A stream of light seemed to flow on the blade, as if it contained endless spiritual power, making it intimidating.

He held the knife in both hands, gripping the hilt tightly, and crouched slightly, poised for attack. His eyes grew increasingly cold, like the frost of the polar regions, scanning both sides of the canyon, as if he had already locked onto the enemy's position. Then, he swung the long knife violently, striking dozens of times on both sides of the canyon.

Each strike embodied immense power and resolute killing intent. The blade's aura, like a substantial silver dragon, whirled and swirled through the air, piercing the air with a sharp, air-piercing sound as it flew towards either side of the canyon. Its momentum seemed to split the canyon in two, severing all dangers and conspiracies that stood in its way.

A moment later, screams rang out from both sides of the canyon. The sound was shrill and desperate, echoing in the silent canyon, like the wails of evil spirits, making people shudder.

Then, everything returned to calm, leaving only the dozens of blades of energy leaving long scars on the stone walls on both sides of the canyon. Those scars were bottomless, as if torn by the claws of an ancient beast, or slashed by the blade of a god, bearing witness to Lin Feng's astonishing attack.

The Cao family and the bandits were all in shock. As if under a spell, they stared blankly at Lin Feng, their eyes filled with disbelief and awe. Their mouths parted slightly, as if they wanted to say something, but their shock prevented them from uttering a single sound. They could only let the look of astonishment freeze on their faces.

"This... How is this possible? His strength is so terrifying! This is definitely not something an ordinary Grandmaster could achieve." A Cao family guard said with wide eyes and a trembling voice. His face was covered in sweat and dust, which mixed together to form a series of dirty marks.

The weapon in his hand had almost fallen due to shock, and was now hanging limply beside him. His eyes were full of awe and fear of Lin Feng, as if at this moment, he had truly seen what a true strong man was, and all the masters he had known in the past seemed so insignificant in front of Lin Feng.
