I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1391: Long Tians Cunning Strategy

The force of the punch resembled a scorching sun, swift and ferocious like thunder crashing down!

The approaching fist was utterly horrifying. Long Tian's face paled in shock. Before he could make a move, the raging winds from the punch had already swallowed him whole!

Bang!

A thunderous sonic boom reverberated across the sky and land!

The punch hurled Long Tian away like a cannonball into the vast desert sea. He stirred up massive sand waves in his path. The sand sea seemed split apart by some unseen colossal blade, carving a profound and alarming gully!

Boom!!!

The massive gully and surging sand waves kept extending far away. Wei Donghai stood there, utterly dumbfounded!

Everything unfolded in an instant.

The Star Lord had been blasted out of view by one punch, without any power to resist. Even seeing it happen right before him, it was tough to accept such a fearsome scene. Waves of disbelief flooded his gaze.

He stared in a daze for several breaths.

His whole body went limp, his mind blank and unable to comprehend the event.

Yi Feng, the one who had thrown the punch, also remained rooted with a stunned expression.

Though he had faced multiple setbacks and braced himself mentally, he never imagined the Star Lord would be so fragile that even one punch proved too much...

Watching his prime candidate for a death match get buried under the sands, a familiar ominous feeling surged within him. His emotions turned profoundly tangled, leading him to mutter prayers instinctively.

Lord Star Lord, please rise again! Don't let this single blow end you, or who else can I rely on!

He observed anxiously for quite a while.

The turbulent sands far off finally calmed, and a silhouette burst forth!

Yi Feng let out a small breath of relief and prepared to attack once more. Yet upon closer inspection, his gaze hardened, and he froze in place.

Within his view.

Long Tian, emerging from the sands, sported messy hair and a grimy face. He hovered mid-air, gasping heavily. No matter the angle, the damage he suffered was evident, and recovery would take time.

Before Yi Feng could speak.

Long Tian rushed within dozens of feet, fixing him with a gaze of pure terror and uttering in a grave tone.

Your Excellency's cultivation is profound. What is your true intention in coming all this way just to humiliate me!

His tone carried depth and gravity. Though rattled and furious, he forced down his rage and bore it. At that instant, Long Tian shed all traces of a supreme expert or the Star Lord's prestige.

Witnessing this, Wei Donghai afar gaped in disbelief.

Just a single punch.

The Star Lord had tumbled from his throne, reduced to mere insignificance.

Yi Feng sensed an indescribable solitude and lost any desire to strike again. His final hope had dissipated into void; pursuing death had become a futile dream.

Noting the Star Lord's glare of humiliation and fury, he felt a twinge of remorse for hitting too hard and offered an apology.

Sorry.

I came with absolutely no ill intent, much less any intention to humiliate you. I just had an itch to fight and struck a bit too hard. If I have offended you, I hope the Star Lord can forgive me.

As for the purpose of my visit, it is to convey the recent situation of the Yuan Star. I hope Lord Star Lord will go and save the myriad living beings from the abyss of suffering!

At these words, Long Tian's face grew a shade darker.

Realizing the other wasn't deliberately provoking him, some tension eased from his chest. Hearing clearly about the Yuan Star, he seized the chance to shift topics and mask his shame.

So that is how it is...

I am not a narrow-minded person either, so Your Excellency need not mind it. However, what exactly is this recent situation of the Yuan Star you speak of?

Though he strove to uphold the Star Lord's poise and spoke generously, the strained magnanimity felt off. Both in voice and manner, he lacked his prior ease.

Yi Feng paid it no heed and proceeded to deliver the message honestly.

A few days ago, I ran into the Yuan Star Lord by chance. He mentioned that the Yun Star has recently undergone abnormal changes and many tyrannical auras have appeared. He sent people to inform you, but it seems they were all assassinated by the enemy.

The Yuan Star Lord suspects that those tyrannical auras harbor evil intentions and might endanger the survival of the entire Yuan Star. That is why he found me and wanted me to deliver this message to you.

I implore Lord Star Lord to take action and save the Yuan Star.

Once these words landed.

Wei Donghai in the distance drew a sharp, covert breath!

Right then.

He finally grasped that Brother Yi's strength surpassed all understanding. Not only did his cultivation eclipse the Star Lord's, but he traversed the starry seas freely, attaining inconceivable heights.

Hearing of the Yuan Star's crisis, unease and fear gripped him. Terrified of those mysterious mighty auras, he quickly turned to the Star Lord.

Yet.

Beneath Yi Feng and Wei Donghai's stares, Long Tian sank into silence anew.

He understood the Yuan Star's reality more than anyone. It was a vast Demon Race plot, employing numerous elites and vast resources to nearly seize control.

How could he meddle in that!

Confronting Yi Feng now, Long Tian felt torn inside.

As a Demon Race elite, saving the Yuan Star was out of the question. Yet posing as the Yun Star Lord, refusal might spark doubts...

That would surely disrupt their Yun Star scheme!

The deeper he pondered, the more troubled he grew. Long Tian felt choked with frustration, nearly erupting in curses.

All had been going perfectly.

Why did this insanely powerful human cultivator appear from nowhere? Would their elaborate plan crumble because of him?

Sensing Yi Feng's probing gaze, Long Tian's heart plummeted.

He couldn't afford to antagonize this foe.

After that punch, he knew the chasm between them was immense. This human was powerful beyond reason!

Direct refusal spelled disaster!

In his intense anxiety.

Long Tian coughed lightly, inspiration striking as he devised a pretext.

Ahem...

Logically speaking, the Yuan Star is a subsidiary star under my jurisdiction, so by all rights, I should lend a hand. However, my cultivation has not yet fully recovered. The most pressing matter right now is to gather the power of faith from the Yun Star.

These composed words left Yi Feng and Wei Donghai taken aback.

They hadn't anticipated the Star Lord rejecting aid to those in peril.

Recalling the Yuan Star Lord's desperation and his acquaintances there, Yi Feng pressed once more.

The Yuan Star is in critical danger right now. If you do not go to the rescue, I fear countless living beings will be plunged into misery, and the casualties will be immeasurable.

Wei Donghai too advanced hesitantly, clasping hands to advise.

May Lord Star Lord see things clearly.

Our Yun Star once stood proudly in the star sea, with the other planets as our subordinates. Now that the Yuan Star is in imminent danger, we ought to mount a rescue. Otherwise, if those tyrannical auras grow too powerful, it will likely be detrimental to our Yun Star as well.

In the future, if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. I fear this bodes ill...

The advice rang true, and Yi Feng nodded vigorously.

As human cultivators, mutual aid was natural. Moreover, this Star Lord bore responsibility, making rescue his duty. Even Brother Wei grasped this grand justice; a figure of his stature should surely comprehend the risks.

If it were his Yuan Star friend Guo Jiannan, he'd have rushed to help already.

Under Yi Feng's hopeful stare.

Long Tian flicked his sleeve dismissively and eyed Wei Donghai with lofty disdain.

Hmph, are you trying to teach me how to do things?

Despite his recent defeat, Long Tian's oppressive aura remained overwhelming for Wei Donghai. He promptly bowed and cupped fists in fear.

"I wouldn't dare..."

Before Wei Donghai could finish defending, a icy voice cut in.

"Even if the Yuan Star possesses billions of living beings, they are nothing but ants. Their survival or destruction is simply not worth mentioning!"

"We cultivators should have long seen through life and death. Having cultivated for countless eras, how could I not understand the reasoning behind your words? But how can the affairs of the Yuan Star be compared to my grand design?"

"As long as I gather enough power of faith, I will be able to lead the entire star system to stand proudly in the universe. This is the grand scheme of things; everything else is trivial. Those who achieve great deeds do not bother with trifles. You all should know how to prioritize. The minor sacrifice of the Yuan Star is necessary!"

"In the future, when my Yun Star regains its glory, a slight compensation will be enough!"

These justifications sounded ironclad and impeccable.

Long Tian lived up to his Demon Race genius status, sharp and cunning beyond the ordinary. He swiftly crafted the ideal rationale to conceal his inability to act.

Yet the words dripped with ruthlessness. Wei Donghai's eyes bulged in horror as he heard them.

"This..."

He couldn't fathom the Star Lord's heartlessness, so unlike the elegant icon he once revered.

Standing mute for a few breaths, turmoil brewed in Wei Donghai's gaze. The profound respect built over recent days began to shatter and dissolve.

After a short hush.

Yi Feng furrowed his brow faintly, his query edged with frost.

"Star Lord, are you truly resolved to sacrifice the Yuan Star?"
