Chapter 1371: Zhuo Yang Backs Down

"Damn it!"

Zhuo Yang frowned. He knew that Ling Feng had sealed his qihai, leaving him with no strength left to fight.

Caught completely off guard, he had taken a direct hit from Ling Feng's spiritual consciousness attack. From that moment on, the outcome had already been decided.

"We are leaving!"

Zhuo Yang clenched his fists. He knew the situation was beyond saving, so he did not bother to struggle any further. Turning around, he led his junior brothers away.

"Wait!"

Ling Feng raised his brows and strode up to Zhuo Yang. He lifted his palm and pressed it against Zhuo Yang's chest.

"What are you trying to do!"

The nearby disciples were alarmed, thinking Ling Feng was about to launch another sneak attack.

Instead, that palm strike unsealed Zhuo Yang's qihai. Zhuo Yang felt his elemental force flow freely through his body once more. He looked at Ling Feng with a hint of surprise.

"If your qihai stayed sealed, these ten days would be a complete waste for you, Senior Brother."

Ling Feng gave a faint smile and turned to walk into the cultivation ground he had just seized.

"You..." Zhuo Yang clenched his fists as he watched Ling Feng's back. He spoke slowly. "You unsealed my qihai. Aren't you afraid that I will come back and fight you for this cultivation ground?"

Ling Feng paused, turned his head, and glanced at Zhuo Yang with a calm smile. "If I can seal you once, I can seal you a second time. I can seal you a third time as well."

"Good. Very good."

Zhuo Yang suddenly laughed out loud. "Junior brother, this time I admit defeat. That is only because of the rules inside the Earth Emperor Pool. I cannot use my true trump cards here. If we meet outside, I would like to exchange a few moves with you properly."

"I will be waiting!"

Ling Feng smiled faintly and walked straight into the pavilion.

"Senior Brother Zhuo, how can you just give up like this!"

Lu Tianyi looked deeply frustrated. Ling Feng had only won through a sudden sneak attack. With Zhuo Yang's strength, was he really afraid of someone like Ling Feng?

"I said we are leaving!"

Zhuo Yang shot Lu Tianyi with a sharp look. If this fool had not run his mouth, Ling Feng might not even have come after them and went for one of the other three earth-tier cultivation grounds instead.

In the end, this whole mess could be traced back to Lu Tianyi.

Seeing the murderous glint in Zhuo Yang's eyes, Lu Tianyi shrank his neck and did not dare to say another word. He obediently followed behind Zhuo Yang.

"He... he actually made Zhuo Yang submit?"

Princess Qian Ling stared at Ling Feng in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock.

This man was far more terrifying than she had imagined!

The blue-robed man beside her, who had looked down on Ling Feng before, now showed a trace of seriousness.

The mental force released by the Frost Crow's Ghost Eye was impossible to guard against. If he were careless, he might not fare much better himself.

Not far away, Li Fei, Feng Ling, and Yan Guying stood there staring at each other. Watching Ling Feng take an earth-tier cultivation ground so easily made their eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

This guy is a monster!

"

Hehe!

"

Ling Feng stretched lazily and smiled faintly at Li Fei and the others. "Senior Sister, what are you waiting for? Are you not coming over?"

Only then did Li Fei and the others snap out of it and rush over as if waking from a dream.

They had fought with everything they had, targeting the weakest team, yet still ended up being driven out.

Ling Feng, on the other hand, had gone in alone. He had not even drawn his sword, yet he sent someone as formidable as Zhuo Yang packing.

The contrast was so great that the three of them needed quite a while to accept reality.

"Junior Brother Ling, you are incredible!"

Yan Guying raised his thumb at Ling Feng. In his heart, there was nothing but admiration.

"

Hmph!

"

Feng Ling snorted and turned her back on him, her face full of displeasure. "That arrogant jerk is just relying on the Ghost Eye Frost Crow's innate divine skills!"

Indeed, the rules within the Earth Emperor Pool were strict. Although limited conflict was allowed, killing was forbidden. This was very different from a real fight to the death.

When Ling Feng activated the Frost Crow's Ghost Eye, he needed a brief moment to build up. A true expert like Zhuo Yang could have seized that opening to unleash a lethal strike and might well have seriously injured Ling Feng.

Inside the Earth Emperor Pool, however, Zhuo Yang was bound by the rules and did not dare to use killing moves.

As a result, he could only passively endure the Ghost Eye's mental attack. Once his mind wavered, Ling Feng's counterattack would strike like thunder.

On top of that, Ling Feng's method of sealing the qihai had driven Zhuo Yang into outright despair.

Li Fei shook her head with a smile. "Junior Brother Ling, it seems that taking the Ghost Eye from Wang Ruquan back then was truly a wise decision."

"

Hehe,

I did not think that far ahead at the time."

Ling Feng pursed his lips with a smile. "It just happens to be very useful here."

Feng Ling glared at Ling Feng, still unconvinced. "Tricks and cheap methods. If this were a real fight, Zhuo Yang and the others would have beaten you into a sieve long ago."

Ling Feng only smiled and said nothing. Zhuo Yang was indeed powerful, but that did not mean Ling Feng had no chance against him. There was no need to argue about it with Feng Ling right now.

He raised his brows and spoke again in a calm tone. "If that is the case, are you really satisfied with just an earth-tier cultivation ground? Have you considered aiming for the sky-tier cultivation ground?"

Ling Feng's gaze shifted toward the depths of the Earth Emperor Pool.

There was only one sky-tier cultivation ground in the entire Earth Emperor Pool, and it had long since been claimed by Chu Tiange, who ranked twenty-eighth on the Creation Star Ranking.

Because Chu Tiange was so powerful, no one dared to challenge him.

Those within the top thirty of the Creation Star Ranking stood on a completely different level from those ranked below. Even if the six people ranked from thirty one to thirty six joined forces, their chances of defeating the thirtieth ranked genius were still extremely slim.

From the very beginning, Ling Feng had never been interested in earth-tier cultivation grounds. His sights had been set on the sky-tier ground from the start, and even on the Great Emperor Spiritual Domain beyond it!

"You... you have gone mad!"

Feng Ling cried out in shock. "The one occupying the sky-tier cultivation ground is Senior Brother Chu. Do you really think your tricks can snatch food from a tiger's mouth?"

Li Fei and Yan Guying both stiffened.

Aside from deep worry, there was also a clear trace of temptation in their eyes.

According to the rules of the Earth Emperor Pool, if Ling Feng used the Ghost Eye divine light to seize the initiative, it might not be impossible to deal with Chu Tiange the same way he had dealt with Zhuo Yang.

It would be far more difficult, but it was not entirely without hope.

"There is still about half an hour left to fight over cultivation grounds. If you are already satisfied with an earth-tier cultivation ground, you can stay here. As for me..."

Ling Feng smiled faintly and looked toward the sky-tier cultivation ground. He did not finish his sentence, but his meaning was perfectly clear.

"

Gulp.

"

Yan Guying swallowed hard. He looked at Ling Feng deeply and clenched his teeth. "Junior Brother Ling, I am with you!"

"And what about you two, Senior Sisters?"

Ling Feng turned his gaze to Li Fei and Feng Ling. These two women still could not trust him as readily as Yan Guying did.

"

Hey!

"

Just as Li Fei and Feng Ling were hesitating, a loud laugh rang out from another earth-tier cultivation ground nearby. "

Hahaha,

kid, your thinking is far too naive. Do you really think Chu Tiange is that easy to deal with?"
