In this state, the Seventh Elder's strength can be increased several times over. Moreover, he can communicate with the demonic power between heaven and earth, making it his own and enhancing his strength. It is a perfect combat mode.
"This must be the Seventh Elder's strongest state. He actually pushed himself to this point. It seems this young man is truly extraordinary!" someone whispered, a sharp glint in their eyes. If they could use the Seventh Elder to eliminate this scourge, they would become famous throughout Donghuang City and finally achieve their goal!
One after another, figures walked towards Gu Yifeng. Their eyes were filled with cold light, and their whole bodies were filled with a chilling aura, like demon kings. Each of them possessed the strength of a mid-level Emperor.
Gu Yifeng raised his head, glanced at the Seventh Elder indifferently, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. He said, "So all you can do is hide in the shadows?"
"Insolence!" A shout came from the void. A demon roared and slapped his hands out. Two demonic hands that blotted out the sky and brought with them a terrifying storm rushed towards Gu Yifeng, as if to suppress and annihilate everything.
Gu Yifeng's smile remained unchanged. With a wave of his arm, a sun suddenly appeared in the sky, releasing dazzling daylight to illuminate the world. A golden beam of light shot out, piercing through all obstacles.
In an instant, the demonic hand was pierced through, followed by a loud bang. The two enormous demonic hands shattered and vanished into nothingness, while the golden light continued forward at lightning speed, arriving in front of the man in the blink of an eye and slamming into his chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face instantly paled.
“Thump, thump, thump…” Gu Yifeng continued to walk, step by step toward the Seventh Elder.
A crisp sound came from the Seventh Elder's mouth. His arm slowly rose and then fell back down, as if he could no longer hold the wand tightly.
At this moment, a sense of panic finally arose in his heart. This scene was far beyond his expectations; he had actually lost.
He, the dignified Seventh Elder, a top genius, was actually defeated by a piece of trash at the fifth level of the Yuan Emperor realm. This is simply a huge disgrace!
"Your strength is nothing special, yet you dare to boast about wanting to kill me. Who gave you the courage?" Gu Yifeng stood before the Seventh Elder and spoke calmly, "Now, tell me, do you submit?"
The Seventh Elder remained silent for a moment before finally speaking: "I concede."
“Alright.” Gu Yifeng looked at the Seventh Elder, his lips moved slightly, as if he were reciting some ancient scripture. Obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations came out of his mouth and floated in the air.
When these sounds reached the Seventh Elder's ears, his face instantly turned ashen, his body trembled violently, and his eyes flashed with intense fear, as if he were trapped in some kind of nightmare.
"What kind of technique is this? It can actually make the Seventh Elder fall into an illusion and be unable to extricate himself?" Everyone was extremely shocked. Who exactly was this young man? They had never heard of him before.
A strange light flashed in Gu Yifeng's eyes. He hadn't expected the "Six Desires Burning Heart Technique" to be so effective, even able to temporarily control the other person's soul.
The Seventh Elder gradually regained his senses, but his body remained stiff. He raised his head, staring blankly at the white-clad figure in front of him, his face filled with despair and resentment.
It's truly ironic that he, the dignified Seventh Elder and an important figure in Princess Donghuang's mansion, is about to perish at the hands of someone at the fifth level of the Yuan Emperor realm.
This outcome was unbearable for him.
However, Gu Yifeng was clearly not going to forgive the Seventh Elder. He took another step forward, his figure teleporting, and in an instant he appeared in front of the Seventh Elder. He stretched out his arm, his five fingers spread out, and grabbed at the Seventh Elder's head, like an eagle's claw, sharp and unstoppable.
Sensing the approaching danger of death, the Seventh Elder turned ashen-faced. He struggled desperately to escape, but it was too late.
"Crack!" The sound of bones breaking rang out. Gu Yifeng gripped the Seventh Elder's neck with his five fingers, and a terrifying force was poured into his palm. In an instant, a crisp sound erupted from the Seventh Elder's neck, as if the bones had broken.
The Seventh Elder's face turned from red to purple, and he kept groaning in pain. He thrashed his hands wildly at Gu Yifeng's body, but it was no use. His strength couldn't shake Gu Yifeng at all. On the contrary, his attacks grew weaker and weaker until they finally gave out.
"Seventh Elder!" The surrounding crowd shouted, their expressions filled with grief and indignation. The Seventh Elder's neck had actually been crushed!
They watched this scene unfold before their eyes, their hearts filled with shock and disbelief. They had witnessed firsthand the slaying of an Emperor Realm figure by someone at the fourth level of the Yuan Emperor Realm—what a magnificent sight!
"This..." Mo Lishang was stunned for a moment, a strange look appearing in his eyes. He glanced at Gu Yifeng, wondering when this guy had learned such an evil skill.
"Who exactly are you?" the Eighth Elder asked from the side.
"I am a disciple of the Desolate Domain Ranking," Gu Yifeng said frankly.
"What? You're a disciple of the Desolate Domain Ranking?" The crowd immediately erupted in commotion. The Desolate Domain Ranking is the second tier of forces below the Nine Domain Rankings. Those who can enter the Desolate Domain Ranking are all the most outstanding geniuses of various forces, and their cultivation has reached the advanced Yuanhuang level. Some of them have even reached the Perfection Realm.
The person in front of me is actually a disciple of the Desolate Domain Ranking. How is that possible?
The Seventh Elder's pupils contracted sharply upon hearing the words "Desolate Domain Ranking." He had heard of this ranking before, because it represented the most outstanding talents in the Nine Domains. In the Desolate State, he would be extra cautious upon hearing this ranking, avoiding any provocation.
I never expected to encounter him today, and now I have to kill him.
At this moment, the Seventh Elder felt a pang of regret. Had he known this would happen, he should have killed the man directly earlier, even if it came at a price, it would have been much better than this.
Gu Yifeng glanced at the crowd below and said loudly, "I was ordered to go to the Yunhuang Mountains to hunt demonic beasts, but I was chased by them and almost lost my life. I did not want to kill innocent people, so I let you go. I hope you will not seek revenge on me in the future, otherwise, there will be endless troubles."
After saying that, Gu Yifeng turned around and stepped off the battle platform.
Seeing Gu Yifeng's actions, the Seventh Elder and the others were stunned. This person really left just like that?
"Let's leave it at that." Suddenly, a calm voice came from behind the crowd. It was the Seventh Elder. Although he was very aggrieved, he still held back. After all, he couldn't gamble with the entire Cloud Soaring Sect. If he attracted an even more terrifying figure, things would be terrible.
Many people looked at the Seventh Elder with a hint of doubt, puzzled. What did he mean by that?
Gu Yifeng frowned slightly upon hearing this. He hadn't expected the Seventh Elder to be so sensible as to back down, not only abandoning the pursuit of his responsibility but also covering up his crimes. He was somewhat impressed by the Seventh Elder's shrewdness.
