Lin Kuang chose not to confront Chen Fengyuan head-on. At that moment, Chen Fengyuan was simply too powerful, and Lin Kuang had no confidence he could win. It wasn't a matter of being afraid; it was a matter of knowing he would undoubtedly lose. Why charge headfirst into a guaranteed defeat? That would be beyond foolish.
Lin Kuang used his terrifying speed and his ability to continuously absorb the Force of Nature to maneuver and play for time against Chen Fengyuan. As long as he could hold out, Lin Kuang believed he could eventually defeat him.
However, Lin Kuang had oversimplified the situation. No, it wasn't that he'd oversimplified, but rather that he had never fought an expert of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Realm. As a result, he had no real concept of how powerful a master at this level truly was. Although Lin Kuang was already being extremely cautious, he was still at a disadvantage from the very start.
