CHAPTER 157: CHAPTER 26: A STORM OF SPEAR TECHNIQUE, COUNTER-KILL

He realized that Zhang Lingfeng was aiming at his wrists, trying to break his hands. This guy actually wanted to capture him alive.

"Ah!"

Shi Pijiang couldn’t help but let out a scream.

"Bang!"

He then used all his strength to smash through the special explosion-proof glass window.

Such a window might work against an average Catfish Demon King or ordinary Skin Phase Martial Artist, but to contain a Flesh Realm Martial Artist, it was simply impossible.

Moreover, Shi Pijiang had already entered the Flesh Phase.

His physical fitness was close to 31.0.

Even if it were an iron door, he could crash through it, let alone a piece of glass.

Thus, the shadow realized something was off, witnessing the most incredible scene he had ever seen. Zhang Lingfeng, who was originally in danger and whose life was at stake, not only noticed Shi Pijiang’s movement but took the initiative, thrusting his spear toward Shi Pijiang’s throat.

Then, using mastery of the spear technique, he covered Shi Pijiang with spear shadows, forcing Shi Pijiang, who was about to attack and capture him, into a defensive position. Zhang Lingfeng quickly seized the flaws, stabbing Shi Pijiang’s critical points several times in succession.

Shi Pijiang was actually forced to retreat step by step.

In the end, he crashed through the special barrier, rushing out from the restaurant.

At this moment, Shi Pijiang seemed more willing to face him than to provoke Zhang Lingfeng.

It was as if Zhang Lingfeng’s spear technique could directly take his life, whereas if he fell into his own hands, perhaps he would spare him due to the influence of mental telekinesis.

"Boom!"

The sound of special glass shattering caused quite a commotion on the street.

Many people jumped in fright, initially thinking aliens had invaded the Inner Ring City, only to soon see that it was two human strongmen fighting from the restaurant to the street.

A senior high school Martial Dao student, wielding a steel spear, chased and attacked a middle-aged man filled with malice and evil.

The middle-aged man’s swordsmanship was masterful, and his speed was like lightning, yet under the continuous attack from the senior high school Martial Dao student, he became flustered, unable even to escape the tightly-knit spear shadows, always covered by the spear technique of the senior martial student.

"Ah ah ah!"

Zhang Lingfeng also controlled his scream.

The name Shi Pijiang was like a life-taking talisman to him. He didn’t understand why his opponent’s combat power suddenly dropped drastically, causing dizziness and a faltering gait.

He only knew that at this moment, either Shi Pijiang falls, or he does.

As for what was happening with those three Martial Hall members, Zhang Lingfeng didn’t have time to think any further.

"Slash!"

Thus, with the continuous explosion of spear techniques, Zhang Lingfeng gained absolute advantage, with more and more wounds appearing on Shi Pijiang’s body, with more than a dozen appearing in a blink of an eye.

His body seemed like a container filled with bloody liquid, bleeding everywhere due to countless holes, with blood even spurting out.

Finally, the sword in Shi Pijiang’s hand was knocked away by Zhang Lingfeng, who then smoothly broke Shi Pijiang’s hands, piercing through Shi Pijiang’s throat with a spear.

The moment the long spear was drawn, a fountain of blood spurted from Shi Pijiang’s throat. Shi Pijiang stared wide-eyed at Zhang Lingfeng in disbelief and slowly fell limp in front of Zhang Lingfeng.

Until his death, he couldn’t believe he would die at the hands of a Martial Dao student, slain by a young man he deemed no threat at all.

The opponent’s spear technique realm power, physical fitness, speed, and power were all beyond his expectation, as if the ending was already destined from the moment they encountered.

He seemed to have considered the greatest threat as the most insignificant existence.

Had he not overused mental telekinesis, causing a burden on his body, resulting in dizziness and weakness in his legs, greatly reducing his combat power, Zhang Lingfeng wouldn’t have been able to kill him.

He even more so couldn’t possibly lose to Zhang Lingfeng.

However, things turned out this way, and Shi Pijiang, filled with grievances, died with eyes open outside the restaurant. He had evaded layer upon layer of pursuit, wits contested against the Martial Hall members, never imagining in his wildest dreams that he’d end up dying at the hands of a senior high school Martial Dao student.

"Shi Pijiang!"

The three Martial Hall members who had been attacked in consciousness, experiencing worse dizziness and physical weakness than Shi Pijiang, finally regained their senses, running out of the shattered window.

When Shi Pijiang broke through the special glass and ran onto the street, he finally saw the scene before his eyes, watching Zhang Lingfeng wielding a silver long spear, driving Shi Pijiang onto the street. By the time they wanted to rush forward to help, Shi Pijiang had already been pierced through the throat by a single thrust from Zhang Lingfeng, becoming a lifeless corpse.

"What happened to you guys just now, why are you only coming now? I was almost scared to death, do you know that?"

Zhang Lingfeng, drenched in cold sweat.

The clash between him and Shi Pijiang, although sparked and brief, lasting only a few exchanges, felt as long as a river, thrilling and dangerous.

Truly a test of life and death.

If he had been the slightest bit lax during the process, Shi Pijiang could have recovered and turned the tables.

The combat power report of 112.0-120.0 was clearly incorrect. After Shi Pijiang successfully opened the Sea of Consciousness and gained mental telekinesis, his entire body, blood, flesh, and bones seemed to have undergone a transformation.

His combat power had already reached around 130.0.

Even if Zhang Lingfeng had cultivated his spear technique to the realm of complete mastery, in a head-to-head confrontation, he could not possibly be Shi Pijiang’s match.

If Shi Pijiang had poured mental telekinesis into him, attacking his Sea of Consciousness, even if Zhang Lingfeng’s combat power surpassed Shi Pijiang’s, he might not have survived.

Furthermore, if not for Shi Pijiang overexerting his mental telekinesis to draw the attention of the Martial Hall members, leaving not a shred to spare, then during the battle, if even a trace of mental telekinesis, like a steel needle, pierced into Zhang Lingfeng’s brain, the situation would have reversed instantly.
