Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Chapter 1242: Chapter 22: Suppress

Tang Jiesheng, also at the Great Elder level, had a status no lower than Zhuge Jian. Now hearing Zhuge Jian’s sarcastic remarks, Tang Jiesheng’s expression became extremely gloomy. He said in a deep voice, ”Zhuge Jian, are you threatening me? Publicly threatening a Great Elder of the Holy Temple, do you know what crime that is?”

Zhuge Jian chuckled lightly and said, ”Grand Elder Tang is being overly sensitive. It’s just a normal exchange, how could you feel that I’m threatening you? If Grand Elder Tang wants to slander me, it’s not that easy either.”

This Zhuge Jian had a dark nature and was good at sophistry, leaving Tang Jiesheng speechless.

Lin Feng’s face, however, became increasingly somber. Zhuge Jian had already successfully sparked the flames of anger in Lin Feng’s heart.

He hadn’t taken Zhuge Jian’s antics to heart before; did this person really think he was young and easy to bully?

With this thought, a chill flashed through Lin Feng’s eyes as he looked at Zhuge Jian, and said indifferently, ”Honest people don’t speak in riddles. We all know what Grand Elder Zhuge is thinking; there’s no need for sarcasm, it only makes people look down on you.”

Zhuge Jian coldly responded, ”Such impudence! You’ve just joined the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple as a Great Elder and already dare to act so brazenly in front of me?”

Lin Feng said calmly, ”Put away that attitude. This Holy Temple is not a place for ranking by seniority. Here, whoever has the greater ability has the greater say.”

Zhuge Jian’s lips curled into a cold smile, saying, ”So, Grand Elder Lin, you consider your abilities to be strong?”

”Not daring to claim greatness, but being superior to Grand Elder Zhuge is no issue.”

Lin Feng flicked his sleeve and said, ”Do you know why the four great ancestors chose me and not you? It’s because I am more capable, younger, and more gifted than you. Compared to me, Grand Elder Zhuge is inferior in every way, and yet you still want to compete for the position of successor. You are overestimating yourself. Considering you are a Great Elder of the Spirit Array Master Holy Temple, if you apologize to Grand Elder Tang now, I’ll let it go. Otherwise, today’s matter won’t end easily.”

Tang Jiesheng, Shui Caixia, and Dou Yun were all extremely shocked. They hadn’t expected Lin Feng to be so assertive.

Having seen Lin Feng holding back before, the three thought his temperament was rather soft.

Now seeing Lin Feng being assertive to a domineering extent, they realized earlier Lin Feng had refrained for the greater good. After all, a conflict, especially escalating to physical confrontation between Great Elders of the Holy Temple, wouldn’t be good if it leaked out.

But with Zhuge Jian’s repeated provocations, Lin Feng finally showed his strong and imposing side, even demanding Zhuge Jian apologize to Tang Jiesheng.

In truth, apologizing to Tang Jiesheng was tantamount to admitting fault to Lin Feng.

Everyone knew this clearly.

Apologizing would be a great loss of face for Zhuge Jian.

After hearing Lin Feng’s words, Zhuge Jian’s face turned dark, sneering as he said, ”Today, I’d like to see the skills of Grand Elder Lin.”

As he spoke, Zhuge Jian stepped forward, twisting array patterns emerging.

The densely packed array patterns expanded from Zhuge Jian as the center.

Tang Jiesheng said, ”Grand Elder Lin, let me handle Zhuge Jian.”

Clearly, Tang Jiesheng was worried Lin Feng would suffer a loss.

Though both were Great Elders in the Holy Temple, there was a significant difference among them; some were at the Earth-rank Spirit Array Master’s level.

While others were at the Heavenly Stage Spirit Array Master’s level.

And Zhuge Jian was a Heavenly Stage Spirit Array Master, ranking highly among the more than seven hundred Great Elders of the Holy Temple.

Granted, Lin Feng had inherited the Heavenly Master Dao, and his future was limitless.

But Lin Feng, after all, was too young.

No matter how gifted, without enough cultivation time, naturally it was hard to advance the Spirit Array Master level.

This was why Tang Jiesheng considered stepping in for Lin Feng against Zhuge Jian.

”Tang Daoist, don’t worry, dealing with a small character like Grand Elder Zhuge isn’t difficult.”

Seeing Tang Jiesheng about to act, Lin Feng spoke calmly.

”Tang Daoist, listen to Lin Daoist, don’t interfere in this matter,” Shui Caixia said, seeing Lin Feng full of confidence.

Tang Jiesheng nodded and stepped back three paces.

”Not much in real skill, but you’ve certainly learned to boast. Today, this Grand Elder will properly teach you, so you understand there’s always a higher heaven and a better man,” Zhuge Jian said indifferently as he stepped forward, coldly looking at Lin Feng, ”This array pattern I’ve condensed is called the Nine Extremes Heavenly Suppression Pattern. You should kneel in front of me and atone for your foolishness just now.”

At his words, the dense array patterns enveloped Lin Feng.

The patterns twisted in the void.

They blocked all of Lin Feng’s retreat.

Then.

The patterns directly pressed down on Lin Feng.

Forcing Lin Feng to kneel.

...

Tang Jiesheng, Shui Caixia, and Dou Yun, the three Great Elders, were watching Lin Feng with concern.

Though Lin Feng had been very confident just now.

Zhuge Jian’s feats in formations were indeed very profound.

Now that Zhuge Jian had unleashed his ace, the Nine Extremes Heavenly Suppression Pattern.

Tang Jiesheng, Shui Caixia, and Dou Yun naturally couldn’t help but worry for Lin Feng, after all, Lin Feng was still quite young.

”Such a trivial skill, and yet you dare to show off before me?”

Lin Feng sneered, raising his right hand to slash down.

Puff.

Lin Feng’s strike instantly tore through the dense array patterns.

”Daoist Lin is actually this powerful?” The faces of Tang Jiesheng, Shui Caixia, and Dou Yun, the three Great Elders, were full of shock as they saw Lin Feng instantly break through Zhuge Jian’s Nine Extremes Heavenly Suppression Pattern; they knew well how formidable Zhuge Jian’s array pattern was.

Even if the three of them acted, they wouldn’t dare claim they could withstand the Nine Extremes Heavenly Suppression Pattern attack, much less break it.

Yet such a formidable Spirit Array Skill was instantly broken by Lin Feng.

Just how strong was Lin Feng’s Spirit Array Master level?

Upon seeing his array pattern shattered, Zhuge Jian’s face changed drastically as he quickly retreated.

Lin Feng, stepping forward with an indifferent expression, sneered, ”Didn’t you just say you’d make me kneel in repentance? I think it’s a great suggestion. Zhuge Jian, kneel for me!”

With that,

Lin Feng’s right hand, entwined with runes, bore down, and Zhuge Jian couldn’t evade it, could only swing a punch, hoping to break Lin Feng’s array pattern.

The two clashed immediately, and the array patterns coiled around Lin Feng’s hand instantly entangled Zhuge Jian.

Thump.

The arrays exerted their power, and Zhuge Jian, unable to withstand the immense pressure, had his legs buckle, kneeling right in front of Lin Feng.
