I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1326: The True Great Power

When Guo Jiannan emerged from the void, darkness had already blanketed the forest's edges.

His icy stare scanned the area, brimming with haste!

But as the view sharpened before him, he stood rooted to the spot.

A few paces ahead.

Yi Feng had casually kindled a campfire and was roasting meat sticks. He appeared utterly relaxed and at peace. This scene didn't resemble the ruins of an intense clash; it resembled a casual outdoor feast more...

Guo Jiannan stood stunned.

He had hurried back with fierce combat spirit, convinced a brutal confrontation loomed. Uncertain about Brother Yi's state, he had braced for a desperate battle.

Who would have thought he'd encounter this?

In an instant, the raging fury and rush in his chest halted clumsily on his features, overtaken completely by disbelief.

He quickly moved closer and saluted deeply.

"Brother Yi!"

"What happened to those Wind Snow Pavilion elders? Are you hurt?!"

The worried tone caught Yi Feng's ear, so he turned and noticed Brother Guo.

Observing his solitary arrival, Yi Feng rose in bewilderment.

"Eh?"

"Why are you by yourself? Where's Brother Tree?"

This remark hit a painful nerve.

Guo Jiannan bowed his head in embarrassment, clasped his hands, and murmured softly.

"The Tree Venerable..."

"Brother Yi, I beg your pardon. My skills with arrays are insufficient. The Ten Directions Desolation Formation proves too intricate; I couldn't unravel it so quickly, forcing me to pause the effort for now."

Yi Feng knitted his brows, baffled.

"You couldn't free him?"

"If you didn't rescue him, why rush back here?"

The mild scolding intensified the remorse in Guo Jiannan's gaze.

"Forgive me, Brother Yi."

"Those elders aren't pushovers. Despite your deep cultivation, we realize one person can't take on so many. I couldn't possibly let you confront them solo."

"After weighing options, I chose to return and support you against the foes first!"

These remarks carried deep honesty and regret.

Guo Jiannan bore the duty of aid and ought to have liberated the Tree Venerable. Facing this outcome instead, he believed he'd squandered Brother Yi's hard efforts. Even voicing this offer of help seemed unworthy. He lacked the courage to meet his eyes.

Without thinking, he dipped his weathered face lower still.

At these words.

Yi Feng grasped the full picture at last and rolled his eyes in exasperation.

"It wasn't nearly as tough as you imagine. What 'battle the foes side by side'? Battle whom? They're probably rotting away already."

This offhand comment sent a jolt through Guo Jiannan's core.

Rotting away?

Did that mean...

He jerked his head up and followed Brother Yi's gesture toward the horizon.

That's when Guo Jiannan spotted the barren ground nearby, heaped with bodies. Many lacked heads, yet their unique garb unmistakably marked them as Wind Snow Island affiliates!

The sight twisted Guo Jiannan's face in alarm.

Before Yi Feng uttered a word, he dashed ahead to examine.

Spotting the head of the formerly haughty Elder Chen lying there, eyes wide with dread, Guo Jiannan halted, his pupils quaking fiercely!

Scanning more, every body belonged to the rival elders from earlier!

Guo Jiannan staggered backward, his gaze swelling with profound horror!

"This! This!"

Horror!

Sheer horror!

This ghastly display churned Guo Jiannan's gut; he struggled to form a full thought. Nothing so dreadful had ever crossed his path!

These were Wind Snow Island's elite, including seasoned experts!

In his mind, few could resist such forces for even a day. Legends spoke alone of those who surpassed them.

But right now.

These renowned titans had all fallen here, their remains discarded beyond the woods like insects. Had Wind Snow Island's core forces truly crumbled so easily?

How could this be...

Frightening!

The event was utterly alarming!

Should word of this leak, it would rattle half of Yuan Star. Even ancient beasts in mighty clans might blanch upon hearing!

Brother Yi's real power proved this alarming!

Just who was this elder brother?!

Chills swept over Guo Jiannan, sweat beading unbidden.

After much time, he scarcely steadied himself.

Gazing once more at Yi Feng's nonchalant demeanor, the awe in his eyes sharpened.

Abruptly, he sensed his own insignificance. Addressing such a powerhouse as "Brother Yi" seemed like overreaching...

In this instant.

Guo Jiannan comprehended fully.

Little wonder Brother Yi stayed composed in past notes; his prowess soared to the heavens!

His earlier frets now appeared ridiculous. Guo Jiannan eased entirely, unable to mask the awe and relief in his stare, though shame heated his aged cheeks.

Brother Yi wielded such prowess yet stayed humble. Beside him, Guo Jiannan—who had once foolishly sought to mentor him—emerged as the true fool.

Guo Jiannan drew near once more and saluted, reverence etching his features unwittingly.

"Yi... Brother Yi!"

"Your cultivation runs deep. My concerns were shallow. I feel deep shame, true shame..."

Watching the elder brother's fidgeting, Yi Feng grinned and reassured him.

"We're buddies; skip the stiff manners."

"Forget these minor pests. With no more trouble stirring, head back swiftly to free Brother Tree. That's the key priority!"

These lines.

Guo Jiannan shook off his stupor and saluted. He never dreamed Brother Yi remained so affable. Awe mingled with thankful grins on his face!

This defined a genuine powerhouse.

"Brother Yi speaks true!"

"Gratitude for your noble aid. We'll cherish it eternally. Meeting Brother Yi is luck from three lives!"

His words grew ever more solemn, leaving Yi Feng somewhat awkward.

He truly disliked such fervor, so he invoked the Tree Venerable's plight to press him. At last, Guo Jiannan raced back to Red Moon Forest to resume dismantling the array and aiding his companion.

As Brother Guo departed with eager vigor, brimming with assurance, and no threats lingered nearby, Yi Feng reckoned a little longer would see Brother Tree freed too.

The matter concluded.

Moonlight slanted down, extending across vast expanses.

The evening breeze whistled coldly, stirring the tree silhouettes on the peaks.

After a stretch.

He fetched a jug of murky wine, tipped it to his lips, and drank deeply. Staring at the sparkling night sky, his gaze held no ripple.

He cast a final glance toward the mangrove woods...

Silently calling Man Man, he gestured and vanished into the far-off...
