Chapter 189: Peng Yuyan Appears
Peng Yuyan was naturally holding down the fort in the Rear Courtyard. When Cheng Feng broke through the middle gate, he had originally intended to go out and provide support, but after seeing the situation in the main hall, he hesitated.
The speed at which that terrifying metal monster spat out fire was simply too fast, causing heavy casualties among the disciples at the front and side gates. Peng Yuyan felt a wave of fear and wanted to retreat.
He had never seen such a rapid way of killing; the *rat-tat-tat* sounds combined with the continuous flashes of fire, and under the attack of that metal monster, the gang members he had cultivated for many years fell one after another like harvested wheat.
He tried hard to steady his state of mind, attempting to observe Cheng Feng's weaknesses. However, when he heard Cheng Feng's righteous words, a surge of anger welled up in his heart. So, Cheng Feng had killed his way here with such high-sounding righteousness, merely for the sake of so-called "revenge"!
Cheng Feng's goal was to kill all the high-ranking members of the Green Bamboo Gang, leaving only some underlings alive to witness the destruction of the Green Bamboo Gang. In this way, there would be no possibility of the Green Bamboo Gang ever making a comeback.
Peng Yuyan's heart was filled with anger and unwillingness; Cheng Feng's actions were no different from wiping out the entire Green Bamboo Gang.
Peng Yuyan had seen many sanctimonious hypocrites, but this was the first time he had seen someone as thick-skinned and unscrupulous as Cheng Feng. Such a person was not only cruel and heartless but also completely disregarded the lives of others.
The winner takes all; reality is always this cruel and ruthless. Cheng Feng's layout was ruthless, and every move was fatal, almost forcing the Green Bamboo Gang into a desperate situation.
Hearing that Cheng Feng was looking for him, Peng Yuyan hid behind a wall in the Rear Courtyard, no longer able to suppress the anger and hatred in his heart, and could not help but shout a question: "Cheng Feng! What is the meaning of this?!"
Cheng Feng's voice was firm and resolute, carrying an irresistible majesty as he responded: "Gang Leader Peng, your Green Bamboo Gang has touched the bottom line of me, Cheng Feng. Today is the day you pay the price!"
Looking at the fallen gang members before him, an endless fire of rage ignited in Peng Yuyan's heart. He knew that there was no turning back today; he must either fight to the end or sit and wait for death.
Peng Yuyan gritted his teeth, filled with hatred and anger toward Cheng Feng. He decided not to retreat anymore and would fight Cheng Feng to the death.
Carefully, he took a pill from his bosom and swallowed it. He then used his Blood Qi to strike several acupoints on his body. Feeling his Blood Qi circulating faster and thicker, his body even felt a sense of swelling, and infinite power surged within him; the realm of Blood Refining Perfection seemed to have loosened.
But unfortunately, after taking the Forbidden Drug, he feared he would not live past tomorrow, but even in death, he would drag Cheng Feng down as a cushion.
The turning point for the Green Bamboo Gang lay with him; as long as he killed the culprit, the Green Bamboo Gang would still be the leading gang in South City.
Peng Yuyan's eyes revealed a fierce look. With his Blood Qi surging, he used his agility to weave through the terrain and buildings, pouncing toward Cheng Feng. The Mechanical Dog's wide-area sweeping fire could not keep up with Peng Yuyan's speed, only grazing him.
Watching that swift figure, Cheng Feng was horrified: "This is definitely not the speed of Blood Refining Perfection!"
However, Peng Yuyan's appearance made Cheng Feng feel a trace of excitement. After all, since he had stepped into the Bone Refining realm, he had not fought anyone else. Now, a powerful opponent appearing before him was undoubtedly a rare challenge for Cheng Feng.
Looking around, Cheng Feng realized he had become the pinnacle existence among the Martial Artists present. When he saw Peng Yuyan rushing toward his direction, Cheng Feng hurriedly ordered the Mechanical Dog to retreat.
Although the Mechanical Dog performed excellently in support and long-range attacks, it would likely struggle to contend with Peng Yuyan in close combat and might even be easily dismantled.
Cheng Feng had once tested his own strength and found that when he circulated his Blood Qi, he could effortlessly lift an object weighing eight thousand catties.
Seeing Cheng Feng order that metal monster to retreat, Peng Yuyan secretly rejoiced. He thought to himself: "As long as this metal monster doesn't attack, perhaps I still have a chance to fight Cheng Feng. If I can kill Cheng Feng, then maybe I can subdue this metal monster and make it my capable helper!" The more Peng Yuyan thought, the more excited he became, and thoughts rolled continuously in his mind.
At the same time, Peng Yuyan had quietly approached Cheng Feng. He clenched his fists, gathered all ten parts of his internal Blood Qi into them, and then fiercely threw a punch at Cheng Feng. This punch was astonishingly powerful, carrying a whistling wind as if it were about to tear the air apart.
Facing such a fierce offensive from Peng Yuyan, Cheng Feng did not sit and wait for death. He quickly drew the long Sword from his waist and slashed toward Peng Yuyan's fist. In an instant, the blade light flashed, intertwining with the fist force and Blood Qi of Peng Yuyan.
The duel between the two instantly became extremely intense. The collision of fist and Sword produced a deafening sound, and the surrounding air seemed to be distorted by this power. Every punch of Peng Yuyan carried unparalleled power and speed, as if to tear the whole world apart; his eyes revealed a sense of determination and boldness, and having taken the Forbidden Drug, he had already cast aside all thoughts of life and death. With every punch, he used all his strength, striving to land a fatal blow on Cheng Feng, even if it meant trading injury for injury.
Meanwhile, the Sword in Cheng Feng's hand flashed with cold light, every strike carrying sharp killing intent. His Blade Technique was as fierce as a gale and rain, each strike containing endless murderous intent, making one shudder. His movements were agile and flexible, and even amidst the flashing blades, one could see Cheng Feng's solid foundation.
He wielded the Thunder Blade Technique with ease, and the Thunder Blood-Bursting Art was also pushed to the limit by Cheng Feng, and he even had further insights: "The might of the thunder lies in its unstoppable momentum; the intent of the blood-burst lies in the strength of its explosive power."
The battle entered a white-hot stage as soon as it began, with both sides exchanging blows, neither giving an inch. Peng Yuyan's fists smashed toward Cheng Feng like a storm, each punch carrying astonishing momentum that made one tremble with fear. Cheng Feng's Blade Technique became increasingly fierce; amidst the flashing blade light, cold air overflowed, making people change color. Their figures intertwined in the air, and the fist wind and blade Qi wove together, forming a surrounding area.
Although Peng Yuyan's Fist Technique was fierce, Cheng Feng's Blade Technique was equally sharp. The two had different strengths, but neither could easily gain the upper hand. At this critical moment of life and death, they both gave their all, showing their strongest sides.
Cheng Feng finally discovered his own weakness: although he was powerful, he lacked the experience of life-and-death combat and the courage to sacrifice himself that a Martial Artist possessed.
Even if he could fight Peng Yuyan to a draw, he was simply relying on his solid foundation to clash head-on with Peng Yuyan when executing certain moves.
And Peng Yuyan always relied on his rich experience and seasoned eye to discern Cheng Feng's intentions.
