Chapter 1028: with translation of chapter title

Wherever it passed, the organs inside the former's body were almost all sliced by those golden energies, leaving blood marks imperceptible to outsiders.

"Damn it, exactly when did he plant that means?!"

Sensing the condition inside his body, Gu Qingyang's heart suddenly filled with shock.

Immediately, he hurriedly reversed his Qi to suppress those golden energies inside his body.

However, Lin Feng down below would naturally not just watch helplessly as the opponent dealt with the means he had secretly placed earlier.

Thus, at the moment the former was distracted, he seized the opportunity and thrust his palm forward violently.

At the same time, the five-colored fire disk in the sky, with its five kinds of strange fire, suddenly flared up.

Immediately, the Five Wheel Separating Fire Disk that had originally been at a disadvantage suddenly blazed bright without warning, instantly turning the tide.

It instantly shattered that pitch-black finger which, due to Gu Qingyang's distraction, had lost sufficient energy replenishment.

"Oh no, the opponent is using a feint to attack the west!"

Sensing the problem with his Great Annihilation Finger, Gu Qingyang, who was busy dealing with the extremely sharp golden energies inside his body, suddenly opened his eyes wide and gazed in alarm toward the lower diagonal.

There, the pitch-black finger that had previously held the advantage had now vanished without a trace.

Following that came a much dimmer five-colored fire disk, a full several hundred zhang in size!

"It's over."

Seeing the gigantic splendid fire disk swooping in at extreme speed, Gu Qingyang's lips twitched slightly, and he finally spat out two words he could hardly accept.

At this very moment, he knew full well that he had long since fallen into the opponent's trap.

Lin Feng had long ago injected those golden energies into his body, waiting for him to unleash his trump-card battle skill.

Then he used those energies to create chaos inside him, ultimately shattering his trump-card battle skill and delivering a fatal blow!

Although that massive fire disk appeared clumsy, its speed was as swift as lightning.

In just a flash, it appeared tens of zhang in front of Gu Qingyang.

At this moment, the violent energy released from the fire disk was something Gu Qingyang could perceive clearly.

But now, having just unleashed the Great Annihilation Finger, his internal Qi was empty, and to make matters worse, those golden energies Lin Feng had injected at some unknown time were wreaking havoc inside him.

Thus, for a moment, Gu Qingyang found himself unable to make an effective evasion.

He could only watch helplessly as the splendid and massive fire disk rapidly enlarged in his pupils.

At the same time, the complexions of the surrounding spectators also underwent some changes.

They never expected that Lin Feng, at the critical moment, would not choose to actively withdraw his battle skill.

Instead, he let that fire disk bombard the top genius of the ancient clan.

If it hit, Gu Qingyang would likely not die but would suffer serious injury.

In the future, he might even be left with wounds that are hard to heal!

"Sigh, Lin Feng, you've won."

However, just as Lin Feng's Five Wheel Separating Fire Disk was about to touch Gu Qingyang's body, a helpless soft sigh suddenly rang out across the heavens and earth.

And as that sigh faded, the five-colored fire disk that had been racing at extreme speed through the air suddenly seemed to hit an invisible wall at that instant, solidifying and becoming unable to advance even the slightest bit.

At the same time, the originally extremely violent strange fire on the fire disk also became dim at this moment.

Faced with this change, Lin Feng merely smiled faintly, then lightly waved his hand, stopping the supply of energy to the immobilized five-colored fire disk.

Immediately afterward, the five-colored fire disk flashed with light, split into five-colored flames, swiftly sliced through space, and precisely returned to Lin Feng's body.

At the same time, the former had long known that on this ancient clan's territory, there must certainly be many experts lurking in the dark, watching.

Wanting to kill Gu Qingyang was simply impossible.

And just as the former withdrew his battle skill, a somewhat stooped elderly figure slowly appeared before Lin Feng.

Clad in a white robe, he appeared to be about fifty years old at first glance, with not a trace of Qi fluctuation over his whole body, like an ordinary old man.

However, his feet hovering off the ground, and the fact that he had previously blocked Lin Feng's Heaven-rank battle skill without even showing himself, all indicated that this person was anything but simple.

"Elder Gu Yi."

As soon as this elder appeared, Gu Qingyang in mid-air immediately bowed and paid his respects.

"Hmm."

Upon hearing that, the elder called Elder Gu Yi nodded slightly, then turned his gaze toward Lin Feng.

His gaze slowly swept over him; after a moment, the elder's hoarse voice said, "I never expected that in Zhongzhou, such a genius could still appear."

"Haha, that's only natural, after all, on the Qi Continent, those with cultivation talent are not limited to just your ancient seven clans."

As soon as his words fell, a hearty laugh immediately rang out across the heavens and earth.

And at the instant the sound rang out, a figure abruptly appeared slightly before Lin Feng, perfectly blocking him from behind.

At the same time, as the figure appeared, everyone's gaze turned toward him.

They realized this person was precisely the middle-aged man who had been with Lin Feng all along.

Seeing this, Elder Gu Yi, too, was not startled.

After sensing that the other's aura far surpassed his own, he promptly cupped his fists and said, "I am Elder Gu Yi of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan; it has been so long since I last appeared on the Qi Continent that I hardly recognize anyone anymore—I do not know who this is."

"He is merely an unknown nobody; you may call me Hao Yan."

Upon hearing that, the ancient dragon clan expert indifferently cupped his fists toward the former.

And after Elder Gu Yi learned the possible name, his mind first underwent a moment of thought.

After failing to find any information about him, he immediately cupped his fists and smiled, saying, "I do not know why old friend Hao Yan has suddenly come; what brings you?"

"Oh, I just came to see you, a one-star Dou Saint, approaching him, worried that this brat might encounter some mishap. After all, in this Ancient Saint City anyone can die, but he cannot; otherwise, I would also be unable to escape death upon returning, and the outcome would be miserably grim."

Upon hearing that, Hao Yan directly pointed at Lin Feng behind him without the slightest reservation and said.

"Whoa!"

As soon as his words fell, in an instant, the countless people around had their eyes suddenly become extremely shocked, staring blankly at Lin Feng.

Although they did not know what identity the person named Hao Yan actually had.

But from his ability to appear silently in the sky, and the attitude of the Ancient Clan Elder called Gu Yi, it could be seen that Hao Yan's strength was undoubtedly extremely formidable.

And yet, at this moment, a powerhouse of that level would actually say such words.

The current situation truly is something they never dared to dream of!

"Just what identity does Lin Feng have, that makes Hao Yan, whose strength surpasses mine, care so much?"

Upon hearing those words, Gu Yi's heart instantly filled with deep doubt.

At the same time, even Gu Qingyang beside him now looked at Lin Feng with astonished and uncertain eyes.

At this moment, he faintly felt that Lin Feng's identity seemed not as simple as it appeared on the surface!

After the Ancient Clan Elder Gu Yi failed to find an answer in his thoughts, he soon temporarily suppressed this doubt, then smiled and said: "Old friend Hao Yan, you're joking; my Ancient Clan has always been open and aboveboard—lose is lose, win is win, it's merely a sparring match, how could we do such a disgraceful thing?"

As soon as his words fell, he glanced at Gu Qingyang with a calm expression and said: "Qingyang, you have already lost this match."

With Gu Yi's plain voice, it echoed around the silent stone platform.

The spectators in the arena were instantly startled, then couldn't help swallowing their saliva, gazing in disbelief at the stone platform, at that somewhat slender figure.

The one defeated was not some nameless nobody within the Ancient Clan, but a top-tier genius among the younger generation!

After hearing his clan elder's words, Gu Qingyang let out a heavy breath, then promptly bowed and said: "I lost."

"Bang!"

With his admission of defeat, the silver-robed man on a nearby pavilion suddenly had numerous spiderweb-like cracks appear beneath his feet.

At the same time, in another room by the window, the tall young man supervising Yang Hao and the others also fell silent.

Even Yang Hao, who had lost to Xiao Yan and looked dejected, instantly stood there dazed.

As for the surrounding spectators, there's no need to say more—each stared blankly at the admitting-defeat Gu Qingyang.

"Bang!"

Immediately afterward, Yang Hao suddenly grabbed the teacup on the nearby table and smashed it hard onto the ground.

The tea inside instantly splashed outward onto the surrounding floor.
