I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1311: Double-sided

Upon noticing the doubtful expression on Yi Feng's face, the group began to voice their warnings with grave countenances.

"It's far beyond merely hazardous—the inner regions of the Demon Suppression Prison ensure that only one out of every ten makes it out alive!"

"That's right, several ancient demons lurk in those depths, fully deserving their title as 'great fiends'!"

"Young friend Yi, even though those demons are currently biding their time and merely seeking to conserve their power, they've gathered vast amounts of life force essence over the years. Their might rivals ours, so you can't afford to disregard them!"

"Those ancient demons possess tremendous power, particularly the Two-Faced Demon. After surviving for tens of thousands of years, it has stored enormous life force essence, unlike us whose essence steadily fades away. With this constant shift, that demon's strength probably matches Old Guo's at present."

"All that we tell you is the absolute truth, young friend. You must treat this with the utmost seriousness!"

Their words grew more intense, faces etched with profound worry.

Yet Yi Feng became increasingly thrilled as he absorbed their cautions!

Tsk tsk.

Just barely missed the opportunity to clash with Old Guo, and here comes a demon whose power is on par with his? The heavens are truly on my side. It'd be such a waste not to engage in battle!

To exercise prudence, Yi Feng first reined in the eagerness bubbling inside him.

He put on a solemn face and clasped his hands toward Old Guo.

"Old Guo, could the demon clan's power truly be something even you find challenging to confront?"

Old Guo let out a heavy sigh at these words, his features darkening further.

"Sigh."

"What my fellow Daoists have shared is entirely accurate. Apart from the Two-Faced Demon, the other fiends likely possess strength equal to this old man's. Should the seals shatter someday and these demons break free, disaster will surely follow, unleashing a torrent of bloodshed and chaos."

"My proposal earlier to wait a few days stemmed partly from my own wish to resolve past enmities, but mostly from worry over the well-being of every living creature!"

These statements made the air feel even heavier.

The elders remained rigidly seated around the table, their faces stern. Following extended silence, none uttered a word, as though grappling with an impossible bind, helpless before the looming crisis. They could merely contemplate strategies ahead to shield the blameless.

Such was the duty and honor borne by these veterans.

Yi Feng took in their words with profound feeling, while a fierce battle lust, absent for so long, flared up within.

Demons that inspired such dread in these elders, great fiends that even Old Guo wouldn't dare belittle—they had to be savagely powerful and ruthless.

Heading to confront them now, wouldn't that mean instant death?

The notion grew more enticing with each passing thought. Yi Feng rose to his feet, bowed with clasped hands, and bid his farewell.

"Your regard for all life is truly praiseworthy."

"My abilities are limited, so I can't offer much aid. I'll simply wander a bit for the moment and reflect on the Divine Sword matter first."

At this, Tree Venerable raised his gaze and cautioned him.

"Young friend, your aptitude is unparalleled, making you the perfect inheritor for the Divine Sword. Don't roam without purpose. What if you run into a demon…"

The rest shifted their focus to him as well, eyes brimming with apprehension.

Yi Feng had his response prepared, shrugging his shoulders.

"Should I meet a demon, I'll simply slay it."

"It's not as if I'll stumble upon that Two-Faced Demon you described just by casually strolling, is it?"

These remarks brought nods of reassurance from the group.

They smiled and agreed, showering him with further advice.

"You're right, young friend isn't one to act rashly."

"Yes, given young friend Yi's cultivation level, dealing with common demons should be effortless."

"Young friend, steer clear of the shadowy depths, and under no circumstances go beyond Tree Venerable's domain!"

"Young friend, if you come across a demon with any cultivation base, kindly retrieve its body after defeating it. Those demons have hoarded life force essence for ages; their corpses retain echoes of the Great Dao. Such remnants would greatly aid our recuperation!"

Yi Feng nodded and bowed politely in agreement, pledging right away.

"Rest easy, everyone. I won't step beyond this woodland at all. If demon corpses appear, I'll make sure to haul them back!"

Witnessing his earnest vow, they nodded with eased minds.

As Yi Feng departed with calm poise, they couldn't hold back sighs of praise.

"The youth of today are formidable."

"Young friend carries himself with remarkable steadiness and grace. He is indeed the prime candidate to inherit the Divine Sword!"

"Old Guo's insight remains keen; we feel humbled!"

Soft chuckles filled the air, and Old Guo fondly stroked his beard, beaming with satisfaction.

This young cultivator displayed exceptional poise. Amid the perils of the Demon Suppression Prison, he exhibited no trace of fear or hopelessness, not even a hint of mental unrest. Such composure was truly exceptional.

With a Dao heart this unyielding, it was no surprise he could impress all despite hailing from a mundane world. Under suitable mentorship, this young man's potential knew no bounds.

What an outstanding talent.

...

As the group continued to laud him, Yi Feng strolled into the forest.

Only after glancing back and confirming the elders were out of sight did Yi Feng drop his relaxed facade. Excitement lit up his features as he eagerly called for Manman.

His aim had always been the mightiest demons!

Now aware of their locations, and knowing a Two-Faced Demon rivaled Old Guo in power, how could he possibly halt at this forest's edge?

That would be absurd!

In a single bound, he leaped onto Manman, eyes blazing with combat fervor as he gestured ahead.

"Go for it!"

"Move it! Burst out of this woodland and race directly to the innermost zones!"

Manman twitched his antennae without emotion, swiftly turning into a streak of light. With a sharp "whoosh," he covered a thousand miles of barren trees in mere moments!

Soon enough.

Yi Feng, hair neatly combed back while astride Manman, at last caught sight of demon clan members.

Regrettably, they were all showy yet impotent weaklings.

Dispensing with them felt like chopping through produce; his massive blade scarcely caught a splash of blood!

Yi Feng yanked the antennae in exasperation, eyeing things dubiously.

"Are you slacking off? This hardly seems like the core depths. Why are they all rubbish, without a single worthwhile opponent?"

Manman promptly exhaled bubbles and sped onward with Yi Feng in tow!

At last.

Before a vast, inky-black lake, a colossal demon emerged!

The demon towered dozens of zhang high, its mere loincloth spanning several zhang. Its frame gleamed like forged iron, dark as night, casting a fearsome sheen in the lake's glow!

Even stranger, the demon faced away from the bank with its back turned, yet its forward visage swiveled toward them, its laughter thundering like a tolling bell!

"Jie jie jie!"

"A puny insect, journeying here to feed this venerable one's life force essence! Though it may not sate even a gap in my teeth, this venerable one shall graciously partake!"

As it declared this, the massive demon exhaled a foul mist!

The thick black vapor blanketed the heavens instantly, resembling encroaching storm clouds. Everywhere the fog drifted, earth and rock crumbled to powder, swiftly merging into liquid that swelled the lakeshore like an overflowing basin!

It exuded aura, wielded techniques.

This demon appeared to possess real prowess, adept at dramatic displays—much like a dressed-up pig, layer upon layer of flair.

From its bearing, it was undoubtedly immensely powerful!

At this spectacle, a spark of eagerness finally flickered in Yi Feng's gaze. True to his code of allowing the first strike, he held his ground, stowing Manman away first, poised for the fog to engulf him and embrace the end.

Nevertheless.

He lingered for quite some time. Endless billows of black fog swept over him, but he stood utterly untouched. The only change was the foul stench.

Observing Yi Feng's bewildered yet intact stance.

The demon's eyes bulged in disbelief, as if beholding the impossible. It lurched back several paces in alarm, its gigantic bulk teetering and roiling the lake into turmoil!

"This!"

"Impossible!"

"You, a trifling human—how do you emerge unscathed from this venerable one's demonic energy?!"

These thunderous cries struck Yi Feng as oddly familiar, instantly sparking his ire with a scowl!

Damn it.

Yet another flashy failure!

Why do they all excel at theatrics but lack substance? No such thing as a 'Bravado Great Dao'! And prattling on about demonic energy—mere halitosis, completely worthless!

Watching the demon flail in retreat, Yi Feng's fury mounted.

He unsheathed his greatsword, advanced with a leap into the sky, and with a single slash, severed the enemy's head!

"Boom!"

The colossal corpse plunged into the water, whipping the surface into a maelstrom!

A dreadful quake rippled outward for a thousand li. If onlookers had witnessed it, the scene would have etched eternal awe in their minds!

Still, Yi Feng's face bore pure frustration, gripping his greatsword in total dejection.

After a thorough search yielding no further demons, and finding this behemoth far too grotesque, he had little option. Bound by his word to retrieve the body, he fetched a cord, bound it securely, and hauled the remains as he departed.

Backtracking to gather additional corpses, the load swelled massively.

Perched solitary at the woodland's fringe, a towering stack of demon bodies beside him nearly hid the desiccated trees, presenting a scene of sheer horror!

Yet Yi Feng sensed no thrill of victory, only the isolation and despair of battling endless adversaries.

That said, the disturbance proved immense, drawing numerous elders to probe the cause.

Beholding the horrifying pile of demon remains, the elders' shock deepened into doubt. Spotting the severed head of the Two-Faced Demon, they drew endless gasps of disbelief. Even Old Guo froze in place, his weathered visage overcome with sheer astonishment!
