I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1341: So Its You

In an instant, the longsword had drawn perilously close, stopping just inches from Yi Feng's right hand that clutched his teacup. It hung there, ready to slash down and spill blood within moments!

The mayor and the old clan leader paled in horror, their breaths hitching sharply in their throats!

This power to command life and death so casually, along with its merciless and swift killing intent, left no one able to stay calm. Even without the blade making contact, its sheer menace alone could fill hearts with dread.

It was no surprise that the two elderly women gaped in wide-eyed fear.

Chen Yuxin didn't bother giving them a single look.

Her teasing and evaluating stare locked solely on Yi Feng.

The odd thing was...

Even after she arrogantly waved the sword to intimidate him for several moments, Yi Feng stayed seated in his usual relaxed manner. He showed no sign of paling in fear; his eyes held not the tiniest flicker of disturbance as he continued pouring tea for himself.

Witnessing this, Chen Yuxin felt a surge of new surprise, unable to hold back her inner wonder at the scene.

How peculiar...

How utterly peculiar.

This scholar was incredibly bold; was he really unafraid of dying?

Since reaching adulthood and seizing control, she had never met anyone who dared to challenge her repeatedly, much less someone fearless of death. But both qualities were embodied in this weak-looking scholar. It was utterly inconceivable.

Suddenly.

The fierce rage in Chen Yuxin's heart faded noticeably. Instead, she found the whole thing entertaining, like stumbling upon a fresh plaything far more captivating than the flatterers in Ye City.

She examined him closely for a bit.

Her curiosity mounting, Chen Yuxin returned her longsword to its sheath, a subtle grin playing on her crimson lips.

"Interesting."

"You are quite a unique scholar."

While complimenting him, a new spark lit up in her icy gaze. Not wanting any outsiders nearby, she gestured with her hand to send everyone away, even her guards.

"All of you, step back."

"Without my orders, no one is allowed to approach and disturb us!"

Her slender hand flicked dismissively, brooking no argument.

The old clan leader and mayor were stunned. They couldn't fathom why this young lady's mood swung so wildly, shifting as fast as turning a page. Nor did they know what she intended next.

Still, the command was issued. Since even her own guards bowed and obeyed, how could outsiders like them risk defiance?

Everyone bowed and withdrew, clearing the area of all spectators.

Relieved of the bothersome crowd, Chen Yuxin's spirits lifted. She took a seat across from him under the locust tree, silently watching this unknown scholar.

The way he poured tea flowed like a masterpiece painting, and his posture while sitting evoked the unyielding strength of an ancient pine.

Though merely a common mortal, the longer she observed, the more appealing he appeared. She pushed her earlier fury aside, unwittingly letting a soft smile emerge.

Not until Yi Feng had casually savored a few cups of tea alone.

Did the spoiled young lady reveal a trace of her arrogant side. With a slight frown, she pressed for a response.

"You are quite a rude scholar."

"I am sitting here with you, which makes me a guest. If this were Ye City, countless young masters would be scrambling to show their favor, yet you just sit there pouring and drinking all by yourself?"

Yi Feng kept his eyes down. While refilling his tea, he answered in serene detachment.

"Miss."

"Tea is like people, constantly changing. Everyone has a tea that suits them, and naturally, there are some they find hard to swallow. I am afraid you would not be accustomed to my tea."

She had smiled at him, only to receive a chilly dismissal.

Chen Yuxin's tolerance vanished in a flash, and she slipped back into her typical superior attitude.

"Hmph."

With a frosty scoff, a glint of ferocity crossed her narrowed phoenix eyes.

"Enough idle chatter."

"You should have heard what I said earlier. My Ye City is currently in need of manpower, and you must leave Qinghe Town to join the army. I am not discussing this with you; this is an order!"

"You will go whether you want to or not!"

"I do not care what kind of tea you have. As long as I want to drink it, you will obediently brew it for me from now on!"

As fury surged through her, her overbearing personality emerged fully, her statements radiating total control.

Upon hearing this.

Yi Feng gently placed his teacup down, his starry gaze lifting to meet her arrogant, lovely features.

"I am just an ordinary mortal, and I have no desire to get involved in irrelevant matters. As I said before, I cannot comply."

His voice stayed even, lacking any forceful presence. To others, such remarks would seem unconvincing and not worth heeding.

At last.

After putting up with it repeatedly, Chen Yuxin's forbearance shattered completely.

Her cheeks reddening with ire, she pounded the table, gearing up to rise and lash out!

"Bastard!"

"I have spoken to you time and time again, yet you dare to disrespect me? It seems you refuse to do things the easy way and prefer the hard way!"

Following her enraged outburst.

Chen Yuxin readied herself to get up and seize the scholar herself. She aimed to teach him the immense gap between their worlds, that a tiny insect like him had no business rebelling!

Yet.

The instant she attempted to stand, her body abruptly stopped responding. Her rigid form seemed anchored to the seat; despite her utmost efforts, she couldn't budge!

How could this be?

Chen Yuxin wrinkled her forehead and forcefully channeled her spiritual energy.

To her shock, even after drawing on her full cultivation, her body stayed limp and immobile, stuck like dead timber!

Something was amiss...

Something was horribly amiss!

As Ye City's haughty prodigy, Chen Yuxin snapped to full vigilance.

Right then.

Without hesitation, she unleashed her utmost power, deploying her entire cultivation base. The fearsome strength of a Martial Spirit powerhouse erupted openly. She could battle several foes even then!

But her resistance endured only moments.

Chen Yuxin's complexion drained to ashen white, her haughtiness in her eyes giving way to alarm.

She had poured out all her vaunted cultivation, but it achieved nothing?!

It was like an immense, unseen power was crushing her whole existence. She felt trapped in an endless swamp, her cultivation dissolving into nothingness...

Shock!

A wave of unparalleled shock flooded Chen Yuxin's stunning face.

She had never faced anything so horrifying.

In mere moments, a deep helpless despair rose in her chest. Her prior superiority crumbled under this choking suppression!

It was too frightening...

What sort of technique was this? She couldn't resist at all! A lofty Martial Spirit powerhouse turned into helpless prey!

Who was lurking unseen, setting this trap?

How could such a mighty figure exist in a backwater like Qinghe Town!

Perhaps!

Perhaps her foes had discovered her coming and prepared this snare for her?!

In those brief moments.

Chen Yuxin felt like she had suffered endless torment. Her thoughts swirled with fright as she instinctively probed her environment. She could hardly move her head, and sweat soaked her back!

At that instant.

The empty street fell into a spine-chilling quiet. It seemed a fatal blow might strike from hidden shadows any second!

Nevertheless, after desperately scanning for ages, she sensed no hint of presence.

Confused and fearful, Chen Yuxin sank into deeper, inexplicable dread. She was being manipulated like a helpless bug, yet blind to her foe's location. Nothing could be more alarming!

Teetering on the edge.

Her thoughts whirled as she frantically reviewed recent events, hunting for any weakness that could save her. But she drew a total blank.

That was, until the sound of pouring tea caught her ear.

It was like Chen Yuxin suddenly grasped it, whipping her stare sideways in stunned disbelief!

The delicate scholar remained seated, composed and unmoved as ever. Neither her coming nor the crushing force now failed to stir his features in the least. As if worldly matters held no interest for him.

Reflecting on it, this unnatural poise was far too suspicious!

No ordinary person could keep such steadiness.

Unless...

"Thump!"

Chen Yuxin appeared to catch on, her heart plummeting.

She quickly examined him again.

Seated in silence, Yi Feng's eyes resembled a still ancient pond. Only as he gradually looked up did a shine like starlight appear. It eclipsed the world's most brilliant moon, as if galaxies dwelled in his depths...

In this precise instant.

A crushing pressure, like the sky and land crumbling, barreled down the street. Chen Yuxin's eyes bulged in disbelief!

"You!"

"It was you all along!?"
