Chapter 1363 - 1367: Conceding Defeat

"Then let’s give it a try!" Lin Feng suddenly displayed a rather peculiar expression on his face. He slightly stretched out his right hand, using his thumb to hold his middle finger, making a very strange gesture towards Ye Liangdao!

"This is..." Ye Liangdao’s face changed dramatically, "Guiyuan Finger?!!"

Ye Liangdao could recognize Guiyuan Finger, which was somewhat unexpected for Lin Feng. Seeing Ye Liangdao’s ghostly expression, Lin Feng knew not to immediately activate Guiyuan Finger but instead maintained the posture of preparing to release it and asked calmly, "Do you have anything to say?"

"I admit defeat." Ye Liangdao looked at the twenty bodyguards below the ring and repeated, "I was defeated by him!"

A person’s affairs are known to themselves, and their skills are understood by themselves. Although Ye Liangdao was an expert, he knew very well the gap between himself and Lin Feng. While both were innate cultivators, Lin Feng had managed to learn the Guiyuan Finger from the Tianji Sect, an extremely powerful martial art skill out of his reach.

Guiyuan Finger is an incredibly powerful deadly move that can mobilize all of a person’s innate vitality, integrating it into the power of one finger. It is truly a finger of death that an ordinary person cannot withstand!

Also, Ye Liangdao, through the earlier exchange, knew that Lin Feng was not a rookie martial artist. On the contrary, his combat ability was extremely strong, and what shocked Ye Liangdao even more was that Lin Feng’s ability to use Guiyuan Finger indicated his cultivation level was definitely not that of a low-level innate rookie with only two awoken meridians. On the contrary, he was at least a martial artist with ten awoken meridians!

Even with the most conservative estimate, Lin Feng, who could barely use Guiyuan Finger, was a ten-meridian innate cultivator. Ye Liangdao knew he couldn’t withstand even one finger from Lin Feng!

Perhaps, within the Hong Sect, aside from Xu Yishan with his profound kungfu, no one could take one finger from Lin Feng. In other words, perhaps only Xu Yishan could prevent Lin Feng from becoming the sect leader of the Hong Sect. With this thought in mind, Ye Liangdao felt quite bitter!

Lin Feng was originally recommended to join the Hong Sect by Xu Yishan. How could Old Xu impede Lin Feng’s path to sect leadership?!

What’s more, Lin Feng also had the Tianji Sect behind him?!

Ironically, Ye Liangdao came this time with the intention of dispelling Lin Feng’s ambitions to compete for sect leadership, only to find out that with Lin Feng’s strength and background, he was almost certainly the future sect leader of the Hong Sect!

Is it sad? Or ironic?

Forget it, the waves of the Yangtze River push forward, and after twenty years of roaming Jiangzhou, it’s time for me to consider days of retirement from the martial fraternity!

Raising his head to look at Lin Feng’s handsome and elegant face, Ye Liangdao shook his head.

Lin Feng was the only leader established by himself in the Hong Sect over the past thirty years with his martial hall. His mysterious family background, backed by the intimidating forces of Xu Yishan, Ning Fuxun, and the Tianji Sect, and being young yet calm with strong martial arts skills, even though I was just defeated by him, it seemed there was no regret.

Moreover, we are all brothers in the Hong Sect?!

Having accepted defeat, Ye Liangdao was more clear-headed than ever, yet he also became extremely shameless. Now he finally acknowledged that Lin Feng was a brother in the Hong Sect like him.

Ye Liangdao’s subordinates looked with eyes wide open, showing terror as they watched Lin Feng. They absolutely couldn’t believe that Ye Liangdao would concede to this young man!

Just because he made a peculiar flicking finger gesture?!

Those bodyguards, unfamiliar with the secrets of Guiyuan Finger, naturally didn’t know the lethal power of Lin Feng’s flick. They turned their heads with some sadness and even shock, looking at Ye Liangdao, their eyes flashing with the ruins left from idol disillusionment.

They were very unwilling, very ashamed, and even wanted to challenge Lin Feng themselves, but they also knew there was no room to undo what had happened. These bodyguards were not ignorant of martial arts; they too were martial arts experts who clearly knew the gap between themselves and Lin Feng, understanding what kind of chasm stood between them.

"He won, just like that?" Xie Nan curiously glanced at Lu Zhanpeng and asked, "Dapeng, did you understand? What exactly happened? Why did that guy suddenly admit defeat?"

"You ask me! Aren’t you always following Brother Feng? You have the nerve to ask me, I still want to ask you! Tell me, what is Guiyuan Finger? Is Brother Feng’s move really powerful?" Lu Zhanpeng almost roared at Xie Nan, his eyes flashing with excitement and anger. This anger was directed at Xie Nan, the guy, just like wood, has been following Brother Feng for so long, yet still doesn’t understand Brother Feng’s strength?

"I... I don’t know!" Xie Nan turned his face in some shame, saying with a bitter smile.

This time, Zhu Xiuyue didn’t stop the conversation between Xie Nan and Lu Zhanpeng. However, she didn’t relax her guard over Ye Liangdao, because she had some suspicion that Ye Liangdao might be feigning surrender, intending to sneak attack Lin Feng!

This possibility was not absent; Zhu Xiuyue was well aware of the profound meaning of the phrase knowing a person by their face but not by their heart!

"Admit defeat?!" Even Lin Feng was surprised, but he admired Ye Liangdao’s decision nonetheless. After reacting, Lin Feng knew how he should behave at this moment. If he behaved too radically and arrogantly, he might arouse resentment among the other leaders of the Hong Sect... Despite Ye Liangdao being the provoker, but since he had actively admitted defeat, Lin Feng couldn’t be too rude to him now.

Lin Feng relaxed his gesture and walked up to Ye Liangdao, gently patting him on the shoulder and said, "You are strong, and a worthy opponent to respect. Since you surrendered, let’s leave it at that today; from now on, we are still brothers in the Hong Sect!"

Zhu Xiuyue widened her eyes, staring closely at Ye Liangdao, worried he might suddenly attack Lin Feng.

Fortunately, Ye Liangdao didn’t do that!

In fact, Ye Liangdao did flash such a thought in his mind; Lin Feng was so close, without any Inner Strength protection from head to toe, and his Guiyuan Finger tactic was not activated. He seemed defenseless; just a punch, a punch could subdue Lin Feng and turn defeat into victory!

Ye Liangdao felt his breathing becoming a bit rapid. He looked at Lin Feng’s warm smile, and couldn’t help but slightly clenched his fist...

Lin Feng’s gaze revealed a peculiar look, as if he had long anticipated Ye Liangdao’s movements, the corner of his mouth curved into a mischievous smile.

Seeing Lin Feng’s sudden change of expression, Ye Liangdao felt as if a bucket of cold water poured over him, making him shiver uncontrollably!

Ye Liangdao realized that Lin Feng standing calmly before him showed that Lin Feng was confident in evading his attack...

Tianji Sect, Tianji Sect! Ye Liangdao’s eyes suddenly brightened; as an innate cultivator, he was eligible to know some secrets about those Hidden World Sects... For example, Tianji Sect, besides the Guiyuan Finger technique, it also had a very strange martial art called the Shadow Shifting movement technique.
