Chapter 123 - Linfeng Vs. Tang Xinyang
As the gong sounded, two people who were at the other side of the stage moved at the same time.
They both face each other and run to meet the other.
There's no hesitation. Contrary, excitement could be seen in Tang Xinyang's eyes.
On the other hand, Linfeng showed no expression and he was calm.
The two meet at the center of the stage. They both raised their fist.
Without stopping their momentum, their fist collided.
An invisible force made the air around them fluttered. Even the ring was shaking because of the wind. The man-made stage below them vibrated.
For those who could see clearly and knowledgeable in martial arts were stunned.
Both have immense strength! Their arms couldn't help but tremble. If they are on the stage, their fist who received that power would undoubtedly fractured.
They couldn't help but admire both people. But they admire more the strength of the young miss. The Tang family was really the number one martial artist!
Tang Xinyang just furrowed her brow. She was about to speak what she had in mind when Linfeng reverts back his fist and slide downward to give her leg a swipe. But she acted fast. She jumped to not let her self tripped. But it turns out that it was a trap as well. When she jumped, a foot was coming to her face. With her heart hanging on a thread she avoided it by leaning backward. She saw Linfeng have his hands on the ground and his feet to her. She gritted her teeth as she did not let herself be hit by those incoming feet. She jumped once more distance her self. She needs to get her inertia. The start was not good for her.
Linfeng jumped and he was back to his feet. He remained standing. Waiting for her to make the first move.
The audience was captured by the first, second and third exchanges. It was not so fast. So they could see it clearly. Their nerves were so tight as they watched this thrilling duel.
However, the butlers and the guards were more shocked than them. It was only half a minute, but the two exchange a hundred blows. Those who don't do martial arts could only see the three solid exchanged blows. But they were wrong. Those untrained eyes could not see the fast moves of the feet of the young Butler. They only saw the after images that congested into one attack of Linfeng's foot. They did not see how Miss Tang Xinyang avoided all the attacks by a hair.
Tang Xinyang's body was taught. Her adrenaline was high. Her nerves were tight. She readied her body to attack and counter-attack anytime.
Even though Linfeng was standing motionlessly. She could still see, that his left feet were a little alighted. All his weight was on his right foot. It was to easily jump anytime in case she attacked. It was also to defend in case he chose to meet her head-on and use his left feet to defend or attack. His arms were balanced and were not leaving any angle for her to attack carelessly.
He was in full mode defense.
Tang Xinyang sweated from her head. It? traveled down to the side of her face. It glistened to the lights. Making the ladies admire her face and thought once more that she was really handsome.
Since she could not find any weakness in his stance then she would create one!
She took a big step toward him and raised her right fist.
Linfeng did not move. He was waiting if this attack was a bait and if the real attack was coming after this. However, the fist was already in front of him and he can't still see changes in her muscles. Thinking that it must be a real attack. Linfeng crossed his arms in front of him to face Tang Xinyang's fist head-on. However, at the exact time, he did that he heard a whistling air in his right ear, when he glanced at the sound he saw a knee coming to him. With quick decision he let his left arm receive the right fist of Tang Xinyang and use his right hand to stop the incoming knee. He gripped it tightly and did not let go.
The two were on the stalemate. This time it was only one move. However, the strength that Tang Xinyang used was not for ordinary men. When they saw that Linfeng received the blow they unconsciously touched their left arm gently.
However, it did not last for two seconds. Linfeng used his left feet that had been waiting there to attack all the time. He raised his left leg used his knee cap to attack Tang Xinyang. Tang Xinyang wanted to evade but the grip on her left leg was too strong. She could not move it!
Tang Xinyang's adrenaline rises as she used the only leg she can move. She used all her strength to her right leg to jump high and twist her body backward. The force from that made her left leg that was trapped to twist under Linfrng's grip. With this move, she freed herself from Linfeng's strong grip. At the same time, she did not stop as she punched from above. But Linfeng was already expecting it. He used both of his arms to defend that punch.
Once more, the air flutters as Tang Xinyang moved away.
The audience was awed.
Now they believed it was the true show!
Tang Xinyang bitterly smiled. They exchanged hundreds of blows from the first encounter and they exchanged strong blows on the second one. However, she did not win. She also doesn't have the advantage. Linfeng was really hard to deal with.
But unlike her bitter smile, Tang Xinyang's eyes were shining. That's why she chose him! Because she could practice the Tang's family secret arts!
This secret art was a series of moves that an individual could use if the odds were not on him. If he falls on a disadvantage and he could not break the person's defense or attack, he could use this secret art.
Now, that she had done her warm-up and had test the water. It was the right time to use this secret art.
Sensing that Tang Xinyang's aura was solidifying, and his instincts telling him there's danger, Linfeng knew it was the right time.
Linfeng once more put his weight on his right foot. His left feet was one step distance away from his right feet. His back was lowered a little. His stance was simple but Old Tang saw that every muscle of him was tight. His stance has no weakness. It was the most perfect defense stance she ever saw.
But, no matter how perfect it was, it could never rival the Tang's family secret arts that had been modified all throughout centuries.
Tang Xinyang with her green nerves showing on her right fist, once more make the move. Like the second one, she runs to him with her right fist.
Linfeng prepared himself. He clenched his fist. Like how he responded earlier he crossed his arm to defend the incoming attack. But this time he knew, the strength would be different just base on the veins it was showing on her fist.
The fist was coming and it created a rippling sound as it meet Linfeng's defensive arm.
Even the audience could hear the rippling sound and could feel the flutter of the wind.
They could only imagine what strength that fist carries!
The fist that carries an unimaginable strength hit the two arms that have a perfect defense.
When Linfeng received the blow, he could not help but furrowed his brow a little and took a step back. This fist has five times the strength earlier. He was a bit taken aback even though he prepared himself that the strength behind the fist would increase.
But he collected himself quickly and after he took a step back he planned to counter-attack. As he knew that if she keeps attacking with that strength he would lose in just two blows.
However, when he put down his arms he could not see Tang Xinyang. It was when his instincts told him the danger that he jumped away from his position in a millisecond. But Tang Xinyang was like a shadow. Even he evaded her attacks she followed up to him quickly. Cornering him and not giving him a chance to counter-attack. Tang Xinyang attack hundred of times, her fist was showing the after images. However, Linfeng has a quick instinct that he evaded all the hundred attacks. Some he meets head-on, some he avoided and some he received with his crossed arms.
It looks like the mighty Young miss Tang was attacking fiercely with full strength. Making the butler more and more cornered. Most of the people sided at the young miss of Tang. She was the protagonist, so they eagerly waiting for her to manage a hit to the butler who only knew was how to evade.
Linfeng was finding it hard to break her momentum. However, he noticed that her attack was getting slower and the power behind it was getting weaker as well. If he continued to evade more, he could tire her out and win the duel.
However, he was not the protagonist of this stage. He was not going to steal the light.
So when he found the right timing, he crossed his arms once more to his chest a bit slower.
Tang Xinyang saw this and her eyes lit up.
'A chance!'
