Desperate Measures

Su Yuehan could not stop him now. She was currently a handmaiden and could not expose her ident.i.ty. It would ruin the greater scheme of things.

She initially planned to run into Li Chengfeng's arms, taking this opportunity to block his view and kill the Grim Stork with a spell. However, now that he had given her an order, she could only feign shock and run aside.

She watched as he crouched low, then burst into a shout as he hurled himself at the Grim Stork!

When it saw that Li Cehngfeng was bold enough to strike, the Grim Stork let out a roar and struggled to lift a front limb, swatting directly at Li Chengfeng.

Although he did not possess Internal Work, he had exceptional training in External Work. While his body was as tough as steel, there was almost no s.p.a.ce to dodge the swat. He fell back and utilised his flexibility to fold his body backwards. The claw almost cut his cheek, a strong gust of wind blowing his fringe upwards and the next claw cutting them in two.

Li Chengfeng then slid forwards to dodge another swat, digging his bone spear into the ground and using the momentum to launch himself to its head.

The Grim Stork swatted again but he was quick as lightning, landing on its head. He let out an angry roar and stabbed his bone spear right into its eye!

“ROAR!!”

It wailed and struggled, flailing its front limbs about. Li Chengfeng immediately let go and jumped off. He ran about its body, then following its sides up to the head to yank the bone out again!

Green blood gushed out as the Grim Stork screamed. He clenched his teeth, raised the blood-stained bone, then stabbed it into its head!

The bone pierced through its head!

The Grim Stork's roar shook the skies, its tail swis.h.i.+ng and jabbing at Li Chengfeng. If it touched him, it would pierce right through even if Li Chengfeng was made of steel!

“Dodge!” Su Yuehan was extremely anxious.

She still would not be able to save him even if she exposed her ident.i.ty to cast her spells now!

But he did not retreat. He chose the more aggressive, seemingly suicidal path!

Before he lived in Cheng'an city, he had lived a peaceful childhood. It was when he arrived in Cheng'an with its violent street fights and martial experts that trained him to take the more aggressive path when desperate. He would rather die trying to finish off his enemy.

At this last moment, Li Chengfeng's arms exploded with power as he pushed the bone downwards then twisted it hard!

The Grim Stork's tail switched a different direction from the pain, sliding past his cheek. There was a long cut across his face.

The giant figure finally came cras.h.i.+ng down, its slender tail drooping and landing on the ground. A stream of blood dripped from the cut on his cheek.

The series of sudden events had left him absolutely stunned!

Li Chengfeng stood at the same spot, panting heavily. He could not quite understand why a heavily-injured Grim Stork had just fallen from the sky.

“Congratulations, congratulations!” Su Yuehan ran happily over, fussing over his wounds.

He did not turn around. “What are you celebrating for?”
