Chapter 954: Chapter 954: A Close Contest
"Why did you stop? Hurry up and capture him!" The Giant leader roared angrily, "You are Divine Race Warriors, donât disgrace the name of our race!"
Hearing the leaderâs words, the other giants blushed. Ling Fengâs punch just now had surely shaken them.
"Hmph, your strength isnât bad, but you could never be a match for us of the Divine Race." The other giants roared angrily and charged forward once more.
The giant who had been knocked back showed a hint of shame and anger on his face. Being repelled in terms of sheer strength by an outsider was nothing short of humiliation.
Seeing the swarm of giants charging toward him, Ling Feng raised a brow. Through the earlier clash, Ling Feng could also feel the overwhelming power of these giants.
Boom! Boom! Boom! In the blink of an eye, countless massive clubs came swinging down as Ling Fengâs figure disappeared amidst the giantsâ attacks.
Although the giantsâ attacks were sharp, their movements were relatively sluggish, so to Ling Feng, dodging them wasnât too difficult.
"You wretched bastard, if youâve got guts, stop dodging!" The giants shouted furiously.
Ling Fengâs figure flickered continually among the giants, to the point where they couldnât even touch his shadow.
"You want a head-on confrontation?" Ling Fengâs face grew into a slight smirk. His figure transformed into a phantom, delivering heavy punches to the knees of each giant.
Crack! Crack! Ling Fengâs strength was now comparable to that of a typical giant. With those powerful punches, nearly all the giants couldnât withstand the impact. They fell to the ground with cries of agony.
The Giant leaderâs complexion turned exceedingly sour. He could tell Ling Fengâs raw strength wasnât enough to seriously injure these giants, but his speed granted him a massive advantage!
"Roar!" The Giant leader let out a deep growl, his body radiating golden light. Under the glow of the golden radiance, the immense figure of the Giant leader began to shrink.
Soon, the Giant leader transformed into a robust man over two meters tall, his skin covered in all manner of mysterious golden markings.
"The fact that youâve forced me to this point is already a feat worthy of pride!" The Giant leader said coldly as he stared at Ling Feng. "Iâm going to shatter every bone in your body, make you yearn for death while unable to die!"
"Anyone can brag!" Ling Feng felt the immense aura emanating from the Giant leader and couldnât help but lick his lips, his eyes glinting with a trace of excitement. "Come on then, show me just how strong you truly are!"
With a low growl, the Giant leaderâs body emitted a golden phantom, creating a trail of afterimages in Ling Fengâs vision.
Ling Fengâs heart sank. "Such incredible speed..."
Boom! Before Ling Feng could react, the Giant leader punched him in the abdomen, sending Ling Feng flying backward and smashing heavily into the ground.

Spitting dirt, Ling Feng flipped himself up from the ground. Glancing at the scorched black imprint on his abdomen, a thoughtful look crossed his face.
"It seems youâve traded strength for this superhuman speed!" Ling Feng said, looking at the Giant leader. "Although your current speed is impressive, your strength has been considerably weakened. So even if you manage to hit me, it wonât result in much damage!"
The Giant leaderâs expression remained composed, but his heart grew increasingly wary. Ling Fengâs observation wasnât wrong. The second form of a Giant sacrificed raw power for heightened speed, but even so, a single punch in this state could shatter mountains. Yet strangely, all it left on Ling Fengâs body was a black imprintâwhat was this manâs body made of?
"Now itâs my turn!" Ling Feng stomped the ground, charging toward the Giant leader.
The Giant leader snorted coldly, engaging Ling Feng in a fierce clash.
Two phantoms collided in mid-air repeatedly, their clashes generating powerful shockwaves that shattered the surrounding rocks into powder.
The giants who had been shouting earlier now stared with wide, incredulous eyes at the spectacle before them.
They had never expected that this outsider could actually fight their leader to a draw. Werenât outsiders supposed to be frail and weak?
Boom! The two figures clashed hundreds of times in the air, before both appeared battered and bruised to the onlookers, the Giant leader looking disheveled, while Ling Fengâs body bore a multitude of footprints and palm marks.
From the current state of the battle, it seemed that the two were evenly matched!
"I didnât expect you to possess such strength!" The Giant leaderâs eyes revealed a trace of awe. "I can sense a familiar power within you. You are unlike the previous outsiders!"
Ling Feng rubbed his sore shoulder with some effort. If it werenât for the Power of the Abyss, he wouldnât have been able to stand against this Giant leader! His strength was simply too overwhelming, and his body seemed as impenetrable as a Vajra Body. Though the Giant leader appeared battered, Ling Feng knew his attacks hadnât inflicted any substantial harm!
It seemed this second form not only enhanced speed but also greatly bolstered his defense!
"Still want to fight?" Ling Feng asked calmly.
Unexpectedly, the Giant leader shook his head and said, "No more fighting! No more! Our original goal was to capture you outsiders and imprison you in the Sacrificial Masterâs cage for forty-nine days, but your strength has earned our respect!"
With that, the Giant leader clapped his hands and said, "You lot, how much longer are you planning on lying on the ground?"
The giants who had had their knees struck earlier thumped their chests, and streams of dark golden energy converged from every direction. Their fractured knees quickly healed, allowing them to stand once again.
Seeing the astonishment in Ling Fengâs eyes, the Giant leader explained, "Our Sky Stone God Race draws its power from the earth. As long as we stand upon it, no matter how severe our injuries, we can heal swiftly!"
Ling Feng nodded slightly. This characteristic of the Sky Stone God Race reminded him of the Greek myth of Sea King Poseidon and Earth God Gaeaâs son.
"Letâs go. Our High Priest Elder once said that if any outsider defeats us, we should take them to meet the Sacrificial Master!" The Giant leader, remaining the same size as Ling Feng, said.
Ling Feng furrowed his brow, "Who is your Priest?"
With a tone of reverence, the Giant leader replied, "The Sacrificial Master is the Prophet of our Sky Stone God Race. You need not worry; the Sacrificial Master is very kind. None of the previous outsiders were harmed, only detained for a while."
Turning to his fellow giants, the Giant leader said, "Letâs go, back to the tribe!"
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" The giants waved their massive clubs, marching back triumphantly, an air about them as though they had won.
Ling Feng shook his head and followed closely behind the Giant leader.
It seemed that this Sacrificial Master might be a key figure...
