963 Everything Was Just Foreshadowing



"Liu Yan, you dared to harm Luo Rui. I'll kill you!"

Even Luo Feng, who had always been calm and collected, had his face flushed red when he heard the news of his brother's death. His eyes were filled with hatred as he stared at Liu Yan.

However, Liu Yan said with a carefree expression, "It's just Luo Rui, so what if he's dead? Even you will die soon. Why are you so angry?"

Liu Yan's words weren't empty boasts but the truth.

After all, Luo Feng had a formidable force like Lakon Territory behind him, something that Liu Yan and Origin Territory couldn't possibly contend with.

Thus, all Liu Yan could do was kill Luo Feng.

He had to prevent Luo Feng from alerting Lakon Territory, only then could Liu Yan and Team Origin remain temporarily safe.

Otherwise, Liu Yan and Team Origin would die.

Hence, Luo Feng was going to die here. If Liu Yan wanted to survive and safeguard Origin Territory, he had to find a way to deal with Luo Feng and ensure he didn't leave the Hallucinatory Forest alive!

However, Luo Feng didn't take Liu Yan's words seriously. Upon hearing Liu Yan's threat, he assumed it was mere bluffing.

"You're quite good at boasting. I want to see how strong you are!"

Luo Feng said as he charged at Liu Yan with his fists raised.

Clearly, Luo Feng excelled in close combat, which was mainly based on fist techniques!

Liu Yan was not afraid of this situation. Instead, he chose to confront Luo Feng head-on.

Despite facing Luo Feng, who had 19-star combat strength, with only 18-star combat strength, there was still a significant disparity between them. However, Liu Yan showed no signs of fear.

The S-grade skill Dragonification was activated!

Suddenly, a trace of dragon bloodline within Liu Yan was stimulated, causing his blood flow to accelerate. His body swelled, and his overall physical strength increased by a level!

Simultaneously, the SS-grade skill Skyward Power was also activated!

Liu Yan's entire body gained a tremendous boost in power!

Immediately, wielding the SS-grade weapon Blue Flame Gloves, Liu Yan charged straight at Luo Feng!

The S-grade skill, Unrivaled True, was activated.

It was a simple technique, but it was filled with terrifying potential.

In an instant, the two figures collided with a tremendous impact.

"Bang! Bang!"

The sound of fists hitting flesh rang out. Under the force of their terrifying power, even the ground trembled. Both individuals displayed an intensity of strength that reached a horrifying level.

After an exchange of blows, they unexpectedly reached a stalemate.

Liu Yan felt a sense of astonishment. After all, through multiple upgrades of the SSS-grade Divine Extraction, his physical strength had already reached an extremely terrifying level, far surpassing opponents of the same level.

Furthermore, Liu Yan had simultaneously employed the S-grade skill Dragonification and the SS-grade skill Skyward Power, two terrifying abilities that enhanced his strength.

Logically speaking, Liu Yan's physical strength at this moment was already extremely exaggerated and terrifying.

Not to mention Luo Feng who had 19-star combat strength, even against a formidable opponent with 20-star combat strength, Liu Yan felt that he had the power to confront him.

But now, Liu Yan found himself evenly matched in physical combat with Luo Feng, who had 19-star combat strength.

Liu Yan immediately realized that Luo Feng was not only a powerful awakened with 19-star combat strength but also someone out of the ordinary. It seemed that he had undergone special and mysterious training, possibly in the powerful Lakon Territory.

After the initial surprise, Liu Yan remained calm. He knew he had more than just his terrifying physical strength to rely on.

Since his physical strength had reached a stalemate with Luo Feng's, Liu Yan knew he could explore other approaches. He wasn't in a hurry.

In contrast to Liu Yan's astonishment, Luo Feng was even more surprised.

Firstly, he possessed overwhelming power that should have crushed Liu Yan. In a confrontation, Luo Feng should have had the absolute advantage.

Adding to Luo Feng's already formidable physical strength, he underwent special training in the Lakon Territory, which further enhanced his abilities. As a result, he had reached an extremely terrifying level of power.

From Luo Feng's perspective, either of these two factors alone should have been enough to overpower Liu Yan.

However, in reality, they were evenly matched.

Luo Feng couldn't accept this. After all, his opponent not only had one star less in combat strength, but Luo Feng himself had also used a special method to temporarily enhance his physical strength, which took a toll on him.

In such circumstances, being unable to overpower Liu Yan and only reaching a draw, Luo Feng found it hard to accept. It felt as if his understanding of the situation had been completely overturned.

Luo Feng couldn't understand why. His physical strength was so strong that even opponents stronger than him couldn't defeat him in terms of physical strength.

How could an awakened, who was one star lower than him, be able to fight him to a draw?

At this point, Luo Feng didn't care about anything else. He stopped holding back and went all out against Liu Yan.

Liu Yan gradually felt the increasing pressure. Relying solely on his physical strength, along with his S-grade Dragonification skill and SS-grade Skyward Power skill, he realized that it was becoming difficult to withstand Luo Feng.

In reality, Liu Yan had several ways to enhance his strength and continue to battle against Luo Feng.

However, Liu Yan chose not to do so. First of all, using his Blue Flame Gloves, fire attribute skill, and other skills. If he used them here, it would also damage the Withered Tree Spirits.

Team Origin still needed the assistance of the Withered Tree Spirits to resist Team Lighthouse, so Liu Yan naturally couldn't afford to do anything that would harm them and essentially endanger Team Origin.

On the other hand, Liu Yan didn't intend to defeat Luo Feng in this encounter.

Liu Yan knew that even though he was strong, he could still defeat Luo Feng if he used his full strength.

It could be done, but it was not necessary.

After all, it would consume a significant amount of Liu Yan's strength, and unforeseen circumstances could arise. If the experts from Team Lighthouse were to arrive, it would pose a danger to Liu Yan.

Similarly, Team Origin would not be able to resist Team Lighthouse.

Even if Liu Yan used all his strength and expended a significant amount of time to ultimately defeat Luo Feng, it would be a pyrrhic victory if Team Origin were to be wiped out by Team Lighthouse.

Liu Yan's purpose in the battle against Luo Feng was merely to deplete his strength and then escape to find Lu Dajiang for a conversation while providing cover for Team Origin's safe retreat.

Liu Yan still relied on his physical strength to directly confront Luo Feng.

Under Luo Feng's full-powered attacks, Liu Yan began to sustain some injuries.

However, thanks to Liu Yan's terrifying physique, it was only a light injury.

On the other hand, Luo Feng was becoming noticeably fatigued.

After all, while Luo Feng's physical strength had been enhanced through a special method in Lakon Territory, his foundation was lacking.

This easily led to the current situation where Luo Feng would start feeling somewhat fatigued after fighting for a short while.

Furthermore, due to Liu Yan's formidable physique, it was Luo Feng who was exhausted, while Liu Yan's injuries were not severe. Despite having numerous injuries all over his body, they were all minor, and he did not sustain any major wounds.

Liu Yan recognized that the time was running out. The main factor was the considerable duration of the battle. Team Origin wouldn't be able to hold on much longer, so they couldn't afford to prolong the fight.

Liu Yan swiftly disengaged from the entanglement with Luo Feng and withdrew from the fight.

Luo Feng, seeing this, mistakenly thought that Liu Yan was afraid.

"Liu Yan, I admit you're strong, but you're still not my match!" Luo Feng sneered coldly.

However, Liu Yan smiled faintly and said, "I don't have time to play with you today. Next time, when I'm fully prepared, I'll kill you directly. You can stay here!"

Luo Feng's expression slightly changed as he realized that something seemed off.

However, Liu Yan didn't give Luo Feng any more time.

The S-grade skill, Heart of Darkness, was activated!
