The Martial King stage was completely different from the Martial Lord stage. Although Chu Feng possessed outstanding battle power, he still felt some pressure when facing that Martial King standing across from him.
That’s right, Chu Feng, a Martial Lord, was incapable of achieving the ability to absolutely crush his foe when faced with a rank one Martial King. It was no longer as simple as killing and beheading a group of Martial Lords. However, Chu Feng still possessed absolute confidence, he knew that he was capable of surpassing his opponent.
“Woosh.”
Suddenly, Chu Feng moved. Before that figure of light started to attack, Chu Feng already took the initiative to attack. Once he moved, he instantly caused the airspace to tremble. That was due to Chu Feng being unable to suppress his excitement in fighting against a Martial King for the first time.
“Boom boom boom boom.”
Chu Feng’s speed was extremely fast. In merely an instant, he reached the Martial King level figure of light. Chu Feng did not use any Martial Skill, instead, he merely activated his Martial Power and, with empty hands and empty fists1, started attacking the Martial King.
Chu Feng’s attacks were extremely fast. It was so fast that one could only sense the might emitted from every attack and be incapable of seeing the attack itself.
As for that Martial King level figure of light, it, too, responded to Chu Feng’s attacks with empty hands and fists, it, too, did not use any other skills and met with Chu Feng in a melee battle comparing their strength in close range combat and the toughness of their bodies.
A close range battle with no weapons put to test the toughness of one’s body the most. If your body was as tough as steel whereas your opponent’s body was only made of flesh, there would simply be no meaning for the two sides to battle. With merely the difference between the toughness of the bodies, the result of the battle was already determined.
Furthermore, a close range battle emphasized one’s reaction speed. In a close range battle, changes were constant. Due to the fact that the distance was too close, often, the techniques used by one’s opponent would cause one to be unable to react in time, causing one to lose the battle.
Logically, it was simply impossible for a rank eight Martial Lord to fight against a rank one Martial King. This was especially true for a close range battle — it was even harder. After all, the Martial Kings are different from Martial Lords. Even if the two were only separated by a single stage, the distance between the two was like heaven and earth. In normal situations, even if a Martial King did not put forth any defensive measures while facing a Martial Lord, it would still be extremely difficult for the Martial Lord to injure the Martial King — the Martial King’s body was that tough.
However, Chu Feng relied on his tough body tempered with his Divine Lightning as well as his extraordinary battle experience and his incomparable reaction speed to fight that rank one Martial King. Not only did he not give way in the battle, he instead held absolute dominance.
A grand rank one Martial King actually ended up being suppressed by a rank eight Martial Lord. If someone was to see this scene, they would definitely gasp in amazement.
“Puuu.”
Suddenly, a surprise attack arrived from Chu Feng. Like lightning, he arrived behind the figure of light. With a feint, he caused the figure of light to protect its head. Then, he retrieved his feint attack back and pierced his hand into the figure of light’s body like an unstoppable sharp blade.
As for the place that Chu Feng’s hand pierced into, it was no ordinary location; it was the dantian of cultivators. Fortunately, this Martial King level human shaped figure of light was merely a false image formed by the formation, otherwise it would’ve been crippled without cultivation. Even if it abandoned its body and turned into a consciousness, its cultivation would still be greatly damaged.
After the surprise attack, the figure of light stopped fighting with Chu Feng. Instead, it turned into a mist of light before Chu Feng. Gradually, it dissipated and disappeared.
