Star Dragon God
After Feng Yue left the Dueling Platform, the rules here were simply that there were no rules, so the referee's role was merely to announce the start and end of the match.
When the signal to start sounded, the Black Armored Tank charged at Huo Feng like a beast that had been caged for too long, laughing wildly as if it wished to tear Huo Feng apart and drink his blood and eat his flesh.
Huo Feng needed him to exhibit this kind of state, but he did not use any Combat Techniques, only employing “Phantom Steps,” though not to its fullest extent. He aimed to cultivate a killing intent through pure hand-to-hand combat.
As the Black Armored Tank was about to reach Huo Feng, cheers erupted from the audience.
“Tank, tear him apart, tear him apart…”
“Tear him apart…”
The more Black Armored Tank heard these shouts, the more excited he became. He lunged at Huo Feng, pushing off the ground and leaping into the air. His fists, as solid as steel, came crashing down toward Huo Feng's head while he let out a loud roar.
Huo Feng steadied himself, focusing his energy into his feet and gathering strength in his fists, preparing to clash directly with Black Armored Tank.
“Looking for death.”
Seeing that Huo Feng was willing to trade blows with him, Black Armored Tank shouted. At that moment, their fists collided, and Huo Feng felt his feet sink slightly as his legs involuntarily bent.
“Hmph! This isn't over yet.”
With increased force behind his punch, Black Armored Tank pressed on. Huo Feng had no choice but to resist with all his might. However, before he could regain his footing, Black Armored Tank, still airborne, bent at the waist and drove his right knee into Huo Feng's abdomen.
Huo Feng's expression changed rapidly; he hadn't expected that although Black Armored Tank lacked Combat Techniques, he was so strong in close combat. The power behind his attacks contained an instinctive accumulation of Origin Force formed from their usual fights.
Not daring to underestimate this knee strike, Huo Feng diverted some of his strength to block Black Armored Tank's knee with one hand while preparing to retreat.
"Bang"
Huo Feng quickly retreated using the force of the Black Armored Tank's knee strike, but this did not cause the Black Armored Tank to pause for even a moment. Seeing that the first attack had failed to take down Huo Feng, it closely followed him again, its arms forming a scissor-like shape as it aimed for Huo Feng's neck.
Huo Feng knew that confronting the Black Armored Tank head-on with his current strength was clearly not an option; the physical power and murderous intent of the Black Armored Tank were simply unmatched. Therefore, Huo Feng immediately activated "Phantom Steps" and began to maneuver around the Black Armored Tank.
The Black Armored Tank missed again and stopped, glaring at Huo Feng with anger. "Are you even a man? Weren't you very arrogant just now? If you have the guts, face me directly instead of dodging around like a coward."
Huo Feng also halted and calmly smiled at the Black Armored Tank. "Alright, I'll fight you head-on now. I promise to stay within ten yards. If I exceed that distance, you can do whatever you want with me. How about that?"
Upon hearing Huo Feng's audacious challenge, the Black Armored Tank cruelly replied without hesitation, "Hmph! I want to see what gives you the confidence to act so calm here after just being at a disadvantage."
With that, the Black Armored Tank charged again, throwing another straightforward punch at Huo Feng's face. Huo Feng stepped lightly on "Phantom Steps," perfectly avoiding the punch, causing it to crash heavily onto the Dueling Platform.
The entire Dueling Platform shook violently, but Huo Feng was unaffected by this. He didn't just evade; he swiftly changed his stance and moved behind the Black Armored Tank, delivering a powerful punch to its lower back.
The impact caused the Black Armored Tank to lurch forward, taking several steps before stopping. It hadn't expected Huo Feng to actually pull off such a move, and its expression turned even more sinister.
Turning to face Huo Feng, the Black Armored Tank seemed transformed; its aura became icy cold. The previous rage in its eyes was replaced by a sharp, piercing gaze that seemed ready to stab into Huo Feng's heart at any moment.
Huo Feng sensed this change in the Black Armored Tank; this was killing intent. However, he was still some distance away from Scar Strong and Li Tie in Underground Soldier City, so this killing intent was noticeably weaker.
The Black Armored Tank coldly stated, "I see you now. No wonder you're so arrogant and dismissive of others. But it's still not enough. I'll make you understand what true despair feels like."
However, Huo Feng's true strength was far too formidable. Although he didn't reveal his real abilities, the invisible support behind him prevented him from feeling any pressure at all. This made him realize that he needed to confront even stronger opponents to truly grasp the essence of combat.
Huo Feng smiled lightly and said, "So you've finally entered your strongest state. But it's still not enough."
At this moment, the Black Armored Tank seemed unaffected by emotions and charged at Huo Feng once more. This time, Huo Feng could feel a hint of killing intent affecting him, but it did not pose any substantial threat.
Huo Feng continued to use "Phantom Steps" to evade, once again dodging the attack from the Black Armored Tank and moving to its side. Huo Feng gathered all his energy into his right palm and aimed for the Black Armored Tank's armpit. If he hit, the Black Armored Tank would be severely injured, if not dead.
However, the Black Armored Tank did not dodge; instead, it swung its fist horizontally, aiming straight for Huo Feng's head.
This shocked Huo Feng. He did not expect the Black Armored Tank to disregard its own life and trade blows with him. Huo Feng had no choice but to retract his hand and retreat quickly.
The expression on the Black Armored Tank remained cold and unchanged as it pursued Huo Feng's retreating figure.
"Child, this is a form of selfless killing intent. In its eyes, there is no self because it is that attack; it is lifeless. It only focuses on your life, which is akin to hypnotizing itself. It will only awaken after taking your life or being defeated itself. Fortunately, there is too great a gap between you; otherwise, even if you win, it would come at a great cost," the voice of Seven Star Spirit suddenly echoed.
"Selfless killing intent? I don't need that. I only require pure killing intent. I am not like those who have lost hope and a future; I will never resort to such a life-for-life exchange unless absolutely necessary."
Huo Feng thought to himself while pushing "Phantom Steps" to its limits. His energy surged within the Origin Force as he halted his movement, waiting for the Black Armored Tank's attack.
The same scene occurred again, but this time Huo Feng did not evade. Just as the fist was about to strike his head, Huo Feng's waist suddenly bent forward as if it had broken, allowing him to dodge the Black Armored Tank's attack.
Before the Black Armored Tank could react, Huo Feng's palm struck its waist, causing it to recoil in pain. At that moment, Huo Feng's upper body returned to normal. As the Black Armored Tank leaned sideways, Huo Feng once again gathered his palm and struck directly at the Black Armored Tank's neck.
