Nan Gong Ling felt elated in his heart, but not far from him, Mo Xie was not happy at all. Her face was gloomy.
This child has an extraordinary talent. We must nip it in the bud and prevent it from developing. "Moe Xie thought to herself in her heart. Even if he has a good talent, we still have to get rid of him. We can't wait until he grows up. We must deal with him now."
Among the crowd at Fengyun Gorge, Han Man had a kind face and grinned: "This guy is so powerful already, yet he still kept it from me."
Seeing that Lin Feng was stronger than himself in terms of strength, Han Man was only filled with joy.
Beside her, Jing Yun also had a radiant smile, like a blooming lotus flower, charming and pure.
The two men beside him were staring at Lin Feng on the stage of the Death Duel Arena with their eyes flickering. They murmured to each other in their minds: "It's no wonder he can show such a powerful and resolute air without any effort. I see... "
On the stage of "Life and Death", Yu Hao's face was as pale as paper and as lifeless as ashes.
"You have no clue about swords at all."
Lin Feng trampled on his dignity. But strangely enough, he could only admit that not only him but also everyone else at the moment must have recognized Lin Feng, Yu Hao. He simply didn't understand the art of swordsmanship.
Who says that only those with the Sword Spirit Soul can become powerful Swordsmen?
The endless sharp sword qi pierced into every inch of Yu Hao's skin, constantly undermining his fighting spirit. Facing Lin Feng, who controlled such a powerful sword momentum, Yu Hao had no fighting strength at all.
"I concede defeat. I'll give up my position as an Inner Gate disciple to you."
With inner turmoil, Yu Hao finally uttered these words. He felt a burning sensation on his face, as if everyone was mocking him.
"Admit defeat and surrender to me?"
Lin Feng sneered, "Is it that simple?"
Yu Hao believed that when he was strong, he should weaken his cultivation, sever his limbs, and make him suffer from constant pain and torment, making him extremely cruel.
Now Yu Hao realized that he was no match for him. Just one sentence to settle everything? Is that possible?
At least, Lin Feng didn't agree.
"I need you to do it," Lin Feng's voice was filled with a strong sense of sarcasm. He took another step forward, and the overwhelming sword power became even more intense, pressing down so hard that Yu Hao could hardly catch his breath.
"I've already admitted defeat. What else do you expect me to do?"
Yu Hao's expression changed slightly. Lin Feng, you still have the strength left? This is too terrifying.
"How about this? It's quite simple. Just give what you want to me to you." Lin Feng gave a cold and icy smile, and the murderous intent vanished in an instant, leaving Yu Hao feeling chilled all over. Lin Feng wanted to kill him.
"This is a major competition of the sect. You dare to come here?" Yu Hao roared loudly, and his right leg involuntarily stepped back a little.
"You dare not kill me, but I dare to kill you."
Lin Feng responded to Yu Hao's words with his actions. His hand holding the sword trembled slightly. Sword shadow fell, sword qi emerged. The brilliant light carried boundless sword energy and slashed towards Yu Hao.
The fatal sword, the moment the sword was drawn, death was claimed. In an instant, Yu Hao's blood splattered on the ground. His body fell down. His eyes remained wide open until the very end, unable to believe that Lin Feng had actually killed him.
"Whew..." The space seemed to freeze. The crowd held their breaths tightly and let out the air in their lungs. They could even hear each other's heartbeats.
Lin Feng broke the history of Yunhai Sect and challenged two Inner Gate disciples at the same time.
Lin Feng broke the rules of Yunhai Sect. In front of all disciples, in front of all elders of Yunhai Sect, and in front of the Sect Master Nan Gong Ling, he defeated his opponent in the grand competition of the sect.
"Be bold!"
A thunderbolt roared with a mighty rage and descended from the sky, landing on Lin Feng and awakening the stunned crowd.
"In the presence of all the members of Yunhai Sect, you disregarded the seniors and the sect leader, and killed your fellow disciples. You deserve to be punished to the fullest extent."
Another voice of rage and abuse rang out, carrying a fierce murderous intent.
The crowd raised their heads and just happened to catch sight of Mo Ye. Some were puzzled, but when they saw Mo Ye dealing a death blow to Lin Feng who had almost killed him, they understood the truth. Mo Ye and Lin Feng had been rivals. Taking advantage of Lin Feng's weakness, Mo Ye certainly didn't want him to grow up. This move of his directly incriminated Lin Feng and aimed to take his life.
Lin Feng raised his head and glanced at Moye for just one moment, then immediately turned his gaze away and didn't pay any more attention.
Today, he came to participate in the grand competition of the sect and ascended to the highest platform of life and death. Under the intense gaze of the entire audience, he was extremely domineering. He challenged two Inner Sect disciples and displayed his martial arts prowess, which astonished the crowd. He even killed Yu Hao on the spot.
Everything is all for Mu Ye!
He deliberately gave Mo Ye an excuse, an excuse to deal with him. Because Lin Feng knew very well that if he himself didn't come up with such an excuse, Mo Ye would eventually help him find one. It would be better for Lin Feng to offer himself as the one to do it.
Seeing Lin Feng ignoring her completely, Mo Xie trembled with rage. But deep down in her heart, she was laughing coldly and shouted: "Come here! Take this rebel down! If he resists, kill him on the spot!"
When the crowd heard Mo Ye's words, they felt a chill run down their spines. This guy has such ruthless tactics. The elders are the elders, they are decisive and forceful, and extremely arrogant.
"Damn it!" Han Man shouted. Everyone heard him. Yu Hao said he would destroy Lin Feng's cultivation and cut off his limbs, making Lin Feng suffer unbearably. If Lin Feng killed him, would that be wrong?
Jing Yun was also so angry that her face turned ashen and there was a deep expression of concern in her eyes.
"Such a shameless old fellow!" Liu Fei cursed. "Has Mo Ye used that trick once and is now planning to use it again?"
Several figures moved about, their bodies glimmering, and rushed towards the Death and Life Arena, preparing to take down Lin Feng.
"Wait a moment." A cold voice rang out, causing the figure heading towards Lin Feng to halt its steps. This speaker turned out to be Nan Gong Ling from the sect.
All eyes were immediately fixed on Nan Gong Ling. Everyone wanted to know how Nan Gong Ling would handle the situation at this moment. Would he punish Lin Feng?
"Lord, this fellow is arrogant and overbearing, acting as if he's above everyone else. He has no respect for you, Lord. He must be punished to serve as a warning to others."
Mo Ye came up to Nan Gong Ling and bowed slightly. After saying that, he glanced at the crowd around Nan Gong Ling.
"Older Sister Moye is right. This fellow is too presumptuous. He didn't even take the patriarch seriously and killed his fellow disciples right there and then. He must be eliminated."
"Master, this fellow deserves the death penalty. He must be executed."
Several elders spoke up for Mo Xie. Mo Canglan was even more senior than the sect leader Nan Gong Ling. In Yunhai Sect, who among these elders wouldn't show some respect for him? Naturally, they all stepped forward to speak up for Mo Xie.
Nan Gong Ling raised her head and looked at the group of elders including Mo Xie and others. She asked in a mild tone, "Have you finished?"
The elders were stunned and couldn't understand what Nan Gong Ling meant by this.
"Mo Ye, are you the Lord of the Clan or am I, Ningguo Ling, the Lord of the Clan?"
Seeing that no one responded, Nan Gong Ling turned to Mo Xie and asked.
Mo Ye's expression froze for a moment, and a jolt of shock ran through her heart. She hurriedly replied, "Of course, you are the Patriarch. How could I, Mo Ye, dare to do such a thing?"
"Then what do you think? Am I the master, or is Mo Ye the master?" Nan Gong Ling asked the several elders who were defending Mo Ye's position.
"Of course you are." The elder felt a foreboding in his heart. Nan Gong Ling was always gentle in character and had never spoken to them like this before.
"Oh." Nan Gong Ling nodded. "Then I'll ask you again. Who decides the outcome of the clan competition?"
"Nature is the master," Mo Xie and others chorused. Sweat appeared on their backs. They secretly thought it was bad.
"Everyone knows that. Well, Moxie, I do want to ask you this. You said that the disciple doesn't see me as the leader here. So, what about you? You were pointing fingers and making gestures in front of everyone, in front of me, trying to condemn others. How arrogant! Elder Moxie, tell me, did you ever think of me as the leader here?"
After Nan Gong Ling finished speaking, it seemed as if there was a cold wind in the space, making Mo Ye and the several elders feel their bodies go numb with cold.
The elders who had remained silent earlier secretly felt relieved. How lucky they were! It was truly a narrow escape.
Mo Ye was self-righteous and conceited. Coupled with the fact that she was related to Mo Canglan, she acted with an iron will and was extremely domineering. This time, she finally managed to anger the patriarch.
A cracking sound rang out, and the chair on which Nan Gong Ling was sitting shattered.
"Speak up! I'm going to ask you all today. Do you still have any thoughts of me, Master of Yunhai Sect, Nan Gong Ling?"
Nan Gong Ling stood up, her voice cold and stern. A powerful aura radiated from her, making the elders tremble with fear. Why did they have to talk? They had nothing to say anyway. They should just keep quiet.
Everyone was looking at their angry patriarch. There was a look of unease in their eyes. The patriarch's temper had always been very good and he seldom got angry. What was wrong today? How could he be so furious? And it was towards Elder Mo Yexue.
