Chapter 253: The Battle Against Pan Feng
Chapter 253: The Battle Against Pan Feng
September 25, 2017
Among the three individuals detained in the Mountain Camp, the one most likely to be recruited by Lu Hai Kong at this time was Pan Feng.
This guy had just been recruited by Wang Hao not long ago and had yet to be fully subdued by him when he was captured by Lu Hai Kong. Compared to Gao Shun and Xin Ping, Pan Feng was the easiest and most likely to be swayed by Lu Hai Kong.
As for the remaining two, Xin Ping and Gao Shun, Lu Hai Kong had not interacted with them, but their scholarly demeanor made it clear that they were not the type to be easily swayed.
Gao Shun, in particular, was a bit troublesome due to his stubbornness. He was a stickler for rules, making it challenging to win him over.
When Lu Hai Kong arrived, Dian Wei was exercising his muscles in the camp, and the only person who could match Dian Wei's strength in the camp was Pan Feng.
These past few days had not been easy for Pan Feng. He had been assigned to guard the prisoners, and Dian Wei, in his spare time, liked to drag Pan Feng out for practice. Initially, Pan Feng still had some martial prowess, and although he knew he was no match for Dian Wei, he was not intimidated. He could tell that Dian Wei had no intention of killing him.
However, after a few sessions, Pan Feng became afraid. Although Dian Wei was careful not to cause serious injuries, no one enjoyed being used as a punching bag for entertainment.
Lu Hai Kong arrived just as Dian Wei had called out a bitterly smiling Pan Feng.
"My lord, you're back," Dian Wei exclaimed, tossing Pan Feng aside as Lu Hai Kong approached.
Lu Hai Kong casually threw a bottle of milk wine, a prized possession from the Uyun Tribe's Elder Chief, to Dian Wei, who happily took a swig, his face immediately showing enjoyment.
"You fool!" Lu Hai Kong said with a smile, patting Dian Wei's chest. He then turned to look at Pan Feng, who had just been released by Dian Wei.
Pan Feng held a certain respect for Dian Wei, an unparalleled strongman. If Dian Wei were the leader of the camp, Pan Feng would have followed him without hesitation. However, his attitude towards Lu Hai Kong was different.
To be honest, Pan Feng did not hold Lu Hai Kong in high regard. In his opinion, his failure was entirely due to the presence of Dian Wei, an unparalleled strongman. If not for Dian Wei, he believed he and Lu Hai Kong should have switched places, with Lu Hai Kong becoming the captive.
So, when Lu Hai Kong arrived, Pan Feng did not show any courtesy, but Lu Hai Kong did not mind. He placed the Wild Axe and the Ghostly Masked Axe to the side.
"What are you two up to?"
"Just having some fun, practicing with him," Dian Wei replied with a swig of wine.
"Practicing? I think you're using him as a punching bag. I'd be happy to practice with him, though." Lu Hai Kong walked up to Pan Feng, carefully examining this historical warrior.
"How about you practice with me?"
"You? With those skinny arms, I'm afraid I might break you." Pan Feng looked up with disdain.
Before he could finish, Dian Wei's palm struck him, causing him to stumble, "How dare you speak to me like that! I should teach you a lesson!"
Pan Feng was indeed respectful of Dian Wei, nodding in agreement without daring to say anything. However, his gaze at Lu Hai Kong was still filled with disdain.
Lu Hai Kong didn't mind. He could tell that Pan Feng was a straightforward, rough man. Such people were much easier to sway, as long as they respected him.
"I'll use an axe, and you can use one too," Lu Hai Kong picked up a training axe and asked.
Pan Feng was not shy, "Me? Give me an axe as well."
"An axe? I thought you were a sword user." Dian Wei was puzzled.
"My axe technique is too powerful. Ordinary axes can't handle the force I put into it. There aren't any good axes on Wang's side, so I've been practicing with a sword. Besides, I've learned some sword techniques," Pan Feng answered honestly, his attitude completely different from when he was facing Lu Hai Kong.
As they spoke, Lu Hai Kong brought over two axes, throwing one to Pan Feng as he stepped back. The sparring match officially began.
Lu Hai Kong chose to spar with Pan Feng first because he understood Pan Feng's personality, and also because his Basic Axe Technique had reached the peak of level 34, just shy of level 35. He had hoped to use the pressure of the previous battle in the Seven Tribes to try and break through, but the Huns were not up to the task, and Lu Hai Kong failed to reach level 35.
Another reason was that Lu Hai Kong wanted to gauge the gap between himself and this historical warrior.
In the version of the book, there is no mistake!
Lu Hai Kong was aware that his strength was inferior to Pan Feng's, so he did not hold back. From the start of the sparring, he went all out, using the Basic Axe Technique he wanted to improve.
Initially, Pan Feng held Lu Hai Kong in disdain, especially when he learned that Lu Hai Kong also used an axe. In his opinion, someone of Lu Hai Kong's build should use a spear and focus on agility and striking weak points. Using an axe was a joke.
However, as soon as they engaged, Pan Feng realized his mistake. Lu Hai Kong's strength was far more terrifying than he had imagined, almost on par with his own. Plus, Pan Feng's overconfidence allowed Lu Hai Kong to take the initiative, and after their first clash, Pan Feng suffered a slight disadvantage.
Lu Hai Kong, taking advantage of Pan Feng's overconfidence, continued to strike with his axe, not giving Pan Feng a chance to counterattack. Pan Feng could only defend helplessly, retreating thirteen meters after thirteen axe strikes.
But Pan Feng was Pan Feng, and as a historical warrior with a combat power over eighty, he was not easily defeated. After Lu Hai Kong's fourteenth axe strike, Pan Feng found an opening and disrupted Lu Hai Kong's initial rhythm.)
However, after this small setback, Pan Feng became more serious, and the sparring became more intense. This time, neither took the initiative, and they attacked simultaneously. Pan Feng used the Mountain Splitting Axe Technique, while Lu Hai Kong used the Basic Axe Technique. As their axes clashed, Lu Hai Kong barely managed to withstand Pan Feng's attack, and he quickly activated the 'Purple Aura Ascending Dragon Technique' to keep up.
Without the Purple Aura, Lu Hai Kong was no match for Pan Feng, a historical warrior with a combat power of eighty. Only with the Purple Aura could Lu Hai Kong barely hold his own against Pan Feng.
