Ryuseki: Ryuu Mufei vs. Lin Yingbin 1

The moment they confronted each other, Lin Yingbin's ferocity had already put Ryuseki and Ryuu Mufei at a disadvantage. The subsequent battle was almost like a turn-based fight. Lin Yingbin was incredibly fast and possessed astonishing strength. He quickly gained the upper hand with these advantages, yet he couldn't do much against Ryuu Mufei.

Lin Yingbin escaped Ryuseki's line of sight with extreme speed. Ryuseki couldn't react in time and was caught off guard as Lin Yingbin suddenly appeared behind him. Lin Yingbin grabbed Ryuseki by the collar of his shirt with one hand and held onto the cuff of his pants with the other. Then, he kicked Ryuseki in the back with rocket-like force. Because Ryuseki's legs were held, he couldn't bend his body to cushion the impact, and his entire body absorbed the full force. Lin Yingbin then released Ryuseki and reappeared beside him again, landing another heavy kick to his abdomen while Ryuseki was still reeling from the pain and unable to regain his posture.

This series of attacks left Ryuseki dizzy and disoriented. He struggled to track Lin Yingbin's movements and was forced to retreat repeatedly. Ryuu Mufei was also sweating with anxiety. Although Lin Yingbin's attacks couldn't break through his psychokinetic barrier, he couldn't catch Lin Yingbin either due to his speed. Seeing Ryuseki being beaten, Ryuu Mufei anxiously deactivated his barrier.

Lin Yingbin didn't miss this golden opportunity. The moment he made contact with the psychokinetic barrier, he attacked Ryuu Mufei.

He leaped up and, like a fierce tiger, pounced on Ryuu Mufei from above. However, Ryuseki also jumped high, retaliating with his right hand, which was entwined with blue Qi Flow.

"Let's see how you escape now!" Ryuseki expected Lin Yingbin to have no solid ground to step on in mid-air, rendering him unable to move. But as he predicted Lin Yingbin's descent trajectory and prepared to attack, Lin Yingbin suddenly flipped his body in front of him. Then, Ryuseki saw Lin Yingbin stomp on the air with his foot. Due to the flow of Qi Flow around his foot and his extreme speed, the air compressed, forming a mass of air that surprisingly supported Lin Yingbin in mid-air, creating a point of leverage.

The air mass exploded, and Lin Yingbin leaped above Ryuseki like a flying fish. Ryuseki knew something was wrong. The next moment, Lin Yingbin's kick exploded above Ryuseki's head. Ryuseki fell to the ground like a statue, his body recoiling like jelly upon impact. Then, blood was seen flowing from his nostrils and the corners of his mouth.

It turned out that the reason Lin Yingbin could move so freely and escape at such high speeds was by compressing air using the Qi Flow generated by his feet.

Here, let's explain what 'Qi Flow' is. Qi Flow is energy produced by biological cells. This energy flows throughout the body, enabling biological activities and is essential for sustaining life. With deliberate training, it can be manipulated freely as life energy. It is also emitted from the pores of the skin as Qi Flow.

Those who learn to manipulate Qi Flow develop 'slower' physical growth compared to others. In the world of martial arts, it's common to see burly, muscular men lose to small, frail old men. Many might find this strange. However, if that old man can manipulate his body's Qi Flow, it's perfectly normal. This is because if the old man unleashes all the Qi Flow constrained within his body, his muscles could potentially be several times stronger than his opponent's. Similarly, if the burly opponent constrains their body with Qi Flow, all their muscles would disappear, making them appear emaciated.

In other words, it's difficult to see a significant increase in physique for those who learn to manipulate Qi Flow. Of course, the premise of unleashing all the Qi Flow in one's body is extremely difficult to achieve, as releasing all constraints means the cessation of life activities. This is also why you often see people who are physically slender yet possess great strength.

Lin Yingbin looked at his former friend beaten to this state, but his face showed no guilt. Instead, there was a sinister smile. However, his smile didn't last long. Seeing that Ryuseki's injuries weren't as severe as he had anticipated, he turned to face Ryuu Mufei.

"It was you, wasn't it? You used psychokinesis to protect him while I was attacking him. Not only did you directly negate most of my kicks, but you also prevented him from making direct contact with the hard ground."

Ryuu Mufei glared at Lin Yingbin with a serious expression and replied, "How could I let you hurt an important person? So, what do you plan to do now? You reckless brat!"

Lin Yingbin didn't notice that as he was replying, two chains created by psychokinesis had already locked his feet. Just as he was about to act, he realized he was caught and decided to break free with brute force as he had before. However, Ryuu Mufei didn't give him the chance.

"Psychic --- Death Enclosure."

Instantly, a visible, semi-transparent barrier appeared around Lin Yingbin, trapping him securely and preventing him from moving.

"You can't escape this time!"

"Listen, young master of the Psychokinetic Clan! Stop dreaming. You think this can hold me? Hah, I was just holding back." Lin Yingbin calmly replied to Ryuu Mufei from outside the semi-transparent box.

Before he finished speaking, spears created by psychokinesis appeared around the semi-transparent prison, like arrows drawn on a bowstring, ready to be fired.

Lin Yingbin's face showed no fear; he became even more excited.

With a few "swoosh" sounds, these semi-transparent spears shot directly at Lin Yingbin. Passing through the semi-transparent prison, the spears accurately pierced Lin Yingbin's body.

These psychokinetic spears, due to Ryuu Mufei's will, did not cause substantial damage to Lin Yingbin's body. They were meant to link Lin Yingbin to his spiritual world, as he intended to mentally subdue Lin Yingbin and incapacitate him.

The moment the spears pierced Lin Yingbin's body, their spiritual worlds linked. In that instant, Ryuu Mufei found himself in a desolate place. Before him, Lin Yingbin was bound to a giant cross, spears protruding from his body, wounds bleeding. This was Lin Yingbin's spiritual world, and Ryuu Mufei intended to attack him there. However, as he took his first step forward, the ground beneath him collapsed, and Ryuu Mufei fell downwards, as if plunging into an endless abyss of darkness.

"What's happening?" Ryuu Mufei found it hard to believe. He had intended to dig up and amplify Lin Yingbin's deepest fears to stimulate his mind, but unexpectedly, he found himself trapped. Falling continuously, Ryuu Mufei couldn't control his spiritual world at will. Looking at the endless darkness around him, he realized the light above was getting farther and farther away. Then, a streak of red tore through the darkness. That was...

The surroundings shattered, revealing a dark demon with blood-red fangs and claws, shaking its head. Ryuu Mufei was instantly overcome with fear, a fear he had never experienced before.

The connection was severed, and the spears embedded in Lin Yingbin disappeared. Ryuu Mufei knelt on the ground, drenched in sweat. His eyes held a look of terror, his body trembling, his fingers clenched tightly. Then, the semi-transparent prison also vanished. Lin Yingbin slowly walked up to Ryuu Mufei.

"Young master of the Psychokinetic Clan, does this feeling feel good?"

Saying this, Lin Yingbin kicked Ryuu Mufei away forcefully. Then, Ryuseki caught the flying Ryuu Mufei.
