I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1410: What Kind of Knife Is This

With a powerful palm strike, Jiang Yuan's formidable cultivation base clashed directly with the saber's momentum!

An explosion that shook the heavens echoed, and the residual power surged outwards like a tempest. Both the apparitions of ancient sages and the distant shop assistants who had gathered to witness the duel were thrown off balance by the shockwave.

However...

The palm strike, which Jiang Yuan had paid dearly for, simply dissolved into nothingness like decaying wood the moment it made contact with the saber's momentum. It was far from capable of blocking the strike; it couldn't even buy him a few precious breaths of time!

"Boom!"

Before the resounding detonation had even faded, the saber beam had already annihilated all in its path and cleaved forward!

Its reach spanned the heavens and the earth, a strike so potent that even deities and ghosts would struggle to evade it!

In a mere instant, the lethal intent descended.

Even Jiang Yuan's expression contorted in shock at this critical juncture, compelling him to activate his movement technique just to evade the saber's razor-sharp edge!

Alas, the speed of this saber was simply too overwhelming.

Despite Jiang Yuan distorting the very fabric of space and employing the Flash Step, he was still unable to escape its trajectory in time. As the saber beam grazed his shoulder, a strand of his hair was severed mid-air, fluttering down like a leaf detached from its roots!

In the blink of an eye, it disintegrated into fine dust!

Witnessing this spectacle, the figures of the ancient sages behind him turned ashen!

Elder Jiang, the most venerable of Cloud Star's ancient sages, had reached the pinnacle of cultivation. Even in his current avatar form, a single strand of his hair was equivalent to a desolate artifact. Yet, under the might of that saber beam, it was reduced to something trivial, akin to mere grass clippings?

If they had been struck by such a saber beam, the repercussions would undoubtedly be beyond comprehension!

In that precise moment.

The apparitions scattered, retreating one after another to evade, their earlier confidence and dominance completely shattered. Their panicked movements appeared rather comical, bordering on pathetic. What was even more terrifying was that if Jiang Yuan hadn't forcefully unleashed a divine ability with his avatar earlier, they wouldn't have even had the opportunity to suffer such an embarrassing display.

A single saber strike had been sufficient to force the ancient sages to diverge left and right!

Even so, the terrifying momentum of the saber beam showed no signs of diminishing!

It streaked across tens of millions of miles, continuously ascending. It breached the celestial clouds and soared into the stratosphere!

Finally, it carved a fearsome trail of light across the starry expanse, effortlessly weaving past drifting meteorites. Only then did the saber's momentum gradually subside, vanishing into the boundless cosmos.

Gazing upon this celestial display.

The ancient sages, who had narrowly escaped, fell into a profound silence.

At this juncture, an absurd yet palpable sense of relief surged through them for having survived such a catastrophic event. Looking down at the chasm below and then back at their own positions, they swallowed hard, their hearts filled with trepidation.

"Gulp..."

The great valley yawned infinitely, and powdery debris continued to fall from its sheer walls. It was utterly devoid of any signs of life, a desolate scene comparable to the depths of hell.

If that saber strike had landed on them...

The mere thought sent cold sweat trickling down someone's temples!

Suddenly, an unnerving stillness enveloped the entire area.

Jiang Yuan fixed his intense gaze upon Pork Rong, his expression now etched with profound solemnity. His eyes swept over the short saber, and undeniable fear flickered within them.

When he finally spoke, his tone betrayed a hint of desperation!

"What sort of saber is this?!"

His words jolted everyone back to their senses!

The apparitions of the ancient sages snapped their heads around simultaneously. Their gazes were drawn to the pitch-black luminescence emanating from the short saber, and enlightenment dawned in their eyes as they scrutinized it intently!

Under the watchful eyes of all present.

While meticulously polishing his cherished blade, Pork Rong offered a candid reply.

"A pig-killing knife!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan and all the ancient sages were utterly dumbfounded.

Moments later, their faces cycled through shades of disbelief and indignation!

A pig-killing knife?

How could the name bestowed upon such a terrifying artifact be so utterly mundane and crude? If such a peerless saber was merely an instrument for slaughtering swine, wouldn't all the so-called divine weapons and legendary blades in existence be reduced to mere scrap metal? They couldn't withstand even a single blow. And if they themselves were mere avatars, weren't they no different from pigs in its eyes?

Was this some sort of jest?

This was utterly inconceivable!

Such audacious pronouncements could only be the product of deliberate mockery. Relying on the divine saber clutched in his hand, this young man truly feared nothing!

Hehe!!!

The ancient sages' apparitions were instantly consumed by incandescent rage. Regrettably, having manifested only as avatars for this encounter, and intimidated by the overwhelming might of the divine saber, they dared not unleash their fury on the spot. All they could do was grit their teeth and clench their fists in impotent frustration.

Pork Rong did not yield an inch, continuing to step forward with his saber.

"Everyone."

"Today, even if I die, I will protect the Star Master. If you still want to fight, I will definitely accompany you to the end!"

As his voice faded, the blade flashed with a cold light!

In an instant, the anger of the entire audience was suppressed!

One person and one saber stood horizontally between heaven and earth. No matter how much power there was, it was not an enemy of a single exchange!

The scene fell into a stalemate.

The ancient sages were already flushed with anger, and their incompetent rage was almost uncontainable.

Only Jiang Yuan still retained a bit of clarity in his eyes. He looked at Pork Rong seriously for a few times, then waved his sleeve and rippled the void.

When stepping into the void.

This ancient great sage paused and looked back, his voice spreading throughout the world softly.

"A youth to be regarded with respect. I will remember you."

"However, don't think that just because you have a sharp weapon in hand, you can act recklessly. The karma of heaven and earth has its own destiny. Helping a tyrant to do evil will eventually result in retribution. When we appear in the world with our true bodies, it will definitely not be something you can resist. If you can rein in your horse at the edge of the cliff, it is not too late."

"Junior, look out for yourself..."

The panic-stricken voice echoed for tens of millions of miles, and the other ancient sages had no choice but to follow closely and leave.

The phantoms dissipated silently.

The great battle finally came to an end.

There was no one else around. The shop assistants landed excitedly, their faces blooming with glory and excitement. They went up to surround Pork Rong and cheered, cupping their fists and praising him excitedly!

"Holy shit!"

"Shopkeeper! You were really too domineering just now!"

"More than domineering, it was simply domineering leaking out for tens of millions of miles! Even the ancient sages were forced back by you. For us to be able to witness this battle, it's enough to brag about for half a lifetime!"

"Shopkeeper, when we return to the Shadow Island in the future, we will definitely be..."

...

Before the excited words were finished, Pork Rong suddenly turned pale.

Before the few people could react, he half-squatted on the ground, panting heavily. If he hadn't supported himself with the pig-killing knife, he probably would have fallen to the ground!

"Huff... Huff..."

Looking at his appearance, the shop assistants were frightened.

They hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked with concern in their eyes.

"Shopkeeper!"

"Are you injured?!"

After a full few breaths passed, Pork Rong's complexion finally improved slightly. While panting, he comforted them.

"Huff... I'm fine."

"I consumed too much just now. I just need to adjust my breathing a little bit."

With that, Pork Rong put away the pig-killing knife, sat cross-legged, and began to adjust his breathing.

Witnessing such a scene, the shop assistants hurriedly stood guard around him. Recalling the past, they gradually understood how dangerous it was just now!

They exchanged glances quietly, unconsciously showing a bit of lingering fear in their eyes.

"So the Shopkeeper actually consumed so much!"

"The power of the Shopkeeper's Disembowelment move was far greater than before. It must have been forced out. Coupled with the successive battles earlier, how could it be easy?"

"Sigh, these ancient sages are indeed powerful, to have actually forced the Shopkeeper to such an extent."

"Hmph, I still say the Shopkeeper is superior!"

"That's true. Whether it's acting skills or strength, the Shopkeeper won!"

"That being said, what if they come again next time?"

"What are you afraid of! With the Shopkeeper here, if they dare to come and make trouble next time, we'll send them off again!"

...

As soon as the words fell, Pork Rong finally slowly opened his eyes.

When he spoke, his tone was very stern.

"It's not that simple."

The deep voice startled the shop assistants, and they stepped forward in surprise.

Before they could speak, Pork Rong had already stood up slowly, looking heavy.

"Just as Elder Jiang said."

"The few of them came this time as avatars. I was able to win relying on the blessing of the divine saber. If their true bodies come in person next time, even if the few of us add up, we will not be able to resist."

Hearing this, the shop assistants all looked flustered in shock.

"What should we do..."

"These ancestors are really making trouble on purpose! What if they come back in the future? They won't listen to reason, and we can't beat them in a fight. Are we just going to stand by and watch them ruin the grand plan?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Perhaps seeking assistance from the island would be our best course of action?"

As all eyes turned to him, Pork Rong expressed his agreement with a nod.

"Indeed, your assessment holds merit."

"Should these ancient ancestors make a return, we may very well be compelled to request the intervention of the island's formidable experts. This situation transcends our current capabilities; it is a matter of utmost gravity. Maintain a vigilant watch over Long Tian, and I shall depart immediately to relay this to Fifth Miss!"

Fifth Miss?

Upon hearing this title, the assistants found a measure of solace, their composure gradually returning.

She, being the direct disciple of the Master and a figure of exceptional intellect and influence, would undoubtedly be capable of marshalling the most elite of experts. Dealing with these troublesome ancestors should pose no challenge for her.

Having issued his directives, Pork Rong swiftly tore through the fabric of space and made his exit.

The assistants, their resolve reinforced, quickly reverted to their authoritative and imposing bearing as Star God Guards, resuming their vital duty of safeguarding Long Tian.

An extended period elapsed.

Finally, Long Tian regained consciousness.

Observing that the Star Lord's Manor had been utterly obliterated, leaving only an unending expanse of desert stretching to the horizon, his eyes widened in disbelief. A profound sense of disorientation washed over him, his mind struggling to comprehend the surreal turn of events.

"This..."

"Where did those individuals from earlier disappear to?"

"What transpired in this place?"

He posed three rapid-fire questions, his tone mirroring that of an inquisitive child.

Given their prior experience as assistants in a butcher shop, the Star God Guards possessed a highly developed social acumen and exceptional acting prowess. They seamlessly deployed the well-rehearsed explanations they had prepared, their words easily deceiving him.

Despite Long Tian's inherent shrewdness, with the formidable adversaries now vanished, he could do no more than accept their narrative, albeit with lingering uncertainty.

Not long thereafter.

The devastated Luohai City embarked on an ambitious reconstruction, and soon, it radiated a vibrant and bustling energy once more. As long as the Star Lord remained in good health, the cultivators from all the myriad realms would retain their unwavering faith.

It was as if the preceding events had been nothing more than a fleeting disturbance.

Concurrently.

The ancient sages, those who had personally reduced the landscape to a desolate wasteland, found themselves utterly unable to find peace. The memory of the recent humiliation fueled an inferno within their hearts, manifesting as fierce lightning and thunder that raged wildly across the heavens!
