Chapter 1432 - 1435: Conceding Defeat

The brothers of the Hong Sect below the stage were still cheering for Lin Feng when they saw him suddenly stop in place, and couldn’t help being a bit surprised...

"What’s up with Lord Lin, does he still want to talk Lord Liu into admitting defeat?"

"We’re already at this point, does it even matter whether Lord Liu admits defeat or not? Lord Lin is totally wasting time..."

"Yeah, just kick Lord Liu off the ring with one stomp and quickly get ready for the next challenger, that’d be best..."

The Hong Sect brothers debated noisily, unanimously feeling that Lin Feng suddenly stopping his movements was a waste of time.

However, Lin Feng turned a deaf ear to all that chatter. He stood where he was, quietly watching Liu Shouyi... The latter still looked utterly exhausted, struggling to force himself upright, seeming like he might topple over at any moment, without the slightest bit of threat...

"Liu Shouyi, quit pretending..." Lin Feng suddenly sneered and spoke. "Your performance from the waist up is pretty spot-on if you want to trick me. But you’re scared the act might become real, so your legs have never relaxed. Watching those two legs coiled and ready to spring, I knew you were faking weakness! I’m not falling for it!"

"My performance was already that convincing, how could Lin Feng possibly see through it..." Liu Shouyi’s expression froze. He stared at Lin Feng in disbelief, not willing to accept that Lin Feng’s powers of observation could be this keen. This bastard must have some kind of secret weapon.

Liu Shouyi did at least guess right that Lin Feng had a trump card, but it was useless. Even if he knew Lin Feng had the Mystery Deduction Technique, he still couldn’t beat him. Right now he had no idea what the Mystery Deduction Technique actually did, so he had no chance at all.

"Since you’ve already recovered your Inner Strength, I won’t hold back anymore..." Lin Feng glanced over Liu Shouyi’s body, then his feet moved slightly, and he suddenly charged at Liu Shouyi. A big palm blasted toward Liu Shouyi’s chest with astonishing speed...

Liu Shouyi’s eyes widened. Seeing this terrifyingly powerful palm strike from Lin Feng, he didn’t dare meet it head-on. His body instinctively leaped diagonally, trying to dodge Lin Feng’s attack!

However, the instant Liu Shouyi had just sprung into the air, he regretted it—because he remembered Lin Feng’s Move-Body-Shift-Shadow movement technique...

Sure enough, just as Liu Shouyi’s body left the ground, Lin Feng vanished from his original spot. The next second, Lin Feng appeared at Liu Shouyi’s side with a smile, and effortlessly drove a kick into Liu Shouyi’s waist, laughing as he said, "I don’t know any palm techniques—you still fell for it!"

Thump... Boom! Crack, crack, clang clang...

Liu Shouyi was kicked off the ring by Lin Feng, his body smashing heavily into a row of wooden seats not far from the platform. With a string of bizarre noises, the seats were crushed completely to pieces, broken planks flying and colliding, producing a very clear banging sound!

And with that, Liu Shouyi’s challenge against Lin Feng ended in failure!

"This... how is this possible... I clearly took a Qi-Recovery Pill..." Liu Shouyi stared up at Lin Feng on the ring with desperate eyes, mumbling. Losing to Lin Feng was already hard enough to accept; he’d also used a Spirit Pill that Liu Hongtao had kept in storage for many years—how could he be willing to accept this?!

"No, I didn’t lose, I haven’t lost, I can still fight... Lin Feng, you used tricks to beat me, this one doesn’t count, I want a proper fight with you!" Immediately afterward, amid countless cries of alarm, Liu Shouyi’s face twisted into madness. His whole person was like a wild beast released from its cage, leaping back toward the ring and hurling himself at Lin Feng, unleashing vicious attacks...

"Liu Shouyi! Stand down, now!"

"Lin Feng, careful!"

Bai Yuanshan and Xu Yishan roared angrily almost at the same time. As the two former Sect Leaders of the Hong Sect, they absolutely would not allow someone like Liu Shouyi, who disregarded the rules, to run wild... Even if he really had gone insane, this was not the place for him to lose it!

But compared to Bai Yuanshan’s anger, Xu Yishan was more worried about Lin Feng. He knew Lin Feng was at the most complacent and careless moment after victory, and Liu Shouyi’s sudden berserk attack had a high chance of injuring Lin Feng! Xu Yishan was already prepared to intervene and stop Liu Shouyi.

Yet it was as if Lin Feng had long foreseen that Liu Shouyi would strike again. In the half-second before Liu Shouyi lunged at him, Lin Feng’s figure sidestepped with two light jumps to the side... Those two seemingly insignificant steps were enough to make Liu Shouyi’s attack hit nothing, brushing past Lin Feng’s side...

Facing Liu Shouyi’s sudden ambush, Lin Feng showed no mercy. Both palms flew out together in a Going with the Flow strike—two muffled thuds landed on Liu Shouyi’s back. Liu Shouyi’s body shot away like a streak of light, disappearing from the ring in an instant. Accompanied by a long, miserable scream, he slammed heavily into a thick concrete pillar in the basement with a boom...

With that impact, Liu Shouyi had at least ten bones shattered; he shouldn’t be able to pull any more little tricks.

Everyone below the stage were still caught in the shock of Liu Shouyi’s sudden sneak attack, but seeing Lin Feng subdue Liu Shouyi in the blink of an eye, their gaping mouths simply couldn’t close again...

"Damn, that was way too freaky just now! Did Lord Lin grow eyes on the back of his head? How could he possibly notice Lord Liu’s sneak attack?"

"Lord Lin’s strength is unfathomable... Looks like this time the Hong Sect’s Sect Leader position is his for sure!"

"I think so too. Seems like no one will dare step onto the stage to challenge Lord Lin anymore..."

"Lord Lin mighty... take the Sect Leader seat!"

"Lord Lin mighty!"

...

This time, sixty to seventy percent of the Hong Sect brothers below were already cheering for Lin Feng. Many had even started shouting slogans for Lin Feng to become Sect Leader. Those leaders who still had the right to step up and challenge him each wore complicated expressions...

"I feel Lord Lin’s strength is extraordinary. It suits him perfectly to take the Sect Leader position. I voluntarily withdraw from the contest for Sect Leader..."

"I’m withdrawing too..."

"I support Lord Lin as Sect Leader..."

In the blink of an eye, without Bai Yuanshan needing to ask, three originally neutral leaders had taken the initiative to announce they conceded to Lin Feng.

"I... I also concede..."

Another leader spoke up hesitantly. But when everyone looked over, they saw that the speaker was actually the seventh leader, Gong Sunyi, who had openly provoked Lin Feng not long ago. Right now he looked like a rooster that had lost a fight, head drooping, hand slightly raised, speaking in an extremely sheepish manner that made people want to laugh.

Lin Feng also glanced at Gong Sunyi, smiling faintly. In his heart he did look down somewhat on Gong Sunyi’s petty nature of first being arrogant then fawning, but he still accepted Gong Sunyi’s surrender. After all, one less opponent is still one less opponent!

Lin Feng turned his head and looked toward his next major opponent... the fourth leader, Ye Liangdao!

Many people followed Lin Feng’s gaze, likewise focusing on Ye Liangdao...

At this moment, Ye Liangdao seemed to be pondering something. Both hands held his two Steel Balls, spinning them around rapidly, his expression slightly conflicted...

After a long moment, Ye Liangdao suddenly raised his head, eyes blazing as he looked at Lin Feng, and said in a deep voice,

"I concede as well!"

"Ah, Ye Liangdao actually conceded?!"
