I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1465: Overwhelming Victory
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
Shock consumed the Golden Saber Sect's grand hall, with elders and disciples alike staring in stunned disbelief.
None had anticipated an assault on their stronghold by the leader of a minor sect, let alone one so young!
As Yi Feng entered, appearing barely into his twenties, many elders exchanged bewildered glances.
To have established a sect at such an age, his talent, though perhaps not matching the scions of the royal capital's noble houses, was undoubtedly exceptional throughout the entire Blazing Fire Kingdom.
It truly baffled them why such a rare prodigy would choose to reside in an insignificant sect within the Yandang Mountains. And to now provoke the Golden Saber Sect was an act of outrageous hubris!
The sudden turn of events left everyone speechless. Even Jin Weiyuan, the Golden Saber Sect Master, seated upon his high throne, displayed a fleeting glint of unease in his eyes.
After a thorough appraisal of Yi Feng, he let out a derisive chuckle.
"Are you the esteemed leader of this New Sword Sect?"
"Considering your evident talent, my initial intention was to extend an invitation to join our sect. I hadn't foreseen such a blatant disregard."
"Do you understand that when my anger ignites, the very land for a hundred miles trembles?"
"Even if you've reached the Tai Chu Realm, you remain far too inexperienced. To believe you can antagonize my Golden Saber Sect with such limited power is the height of naivety!"
Yi Feng's lips curved into a subtle smile upon hearing these pronouncements.
"And who informed you that my cultivation has only reached the Tai Chu Realm?"
"Only?" The implication hung heavy in the air. Could this youth's power far surpass the Tai Chu Realm?
The moment his words concluded, the expressions within the hall shifted dramatically!
Jin Weiyuan's heart faltered, and his gaze flickered towards his chief disciple, Lu Fengchun, standing silently nearby.
Immediately sensing an overwhelming pressure, Lu Fengchun wheeled around, his voice laced with anger as he retorted!
"You! Cease your baseless boasting!"
"I have sparred with you previously! You had merely achieved spiritual energy manifestation, your cultivation only slightly surpassing my own. Stop spewing such nonsense here!"
"If your cultivation were truly profound, you would never have willingly contented yourself with a seventh-grade sect. During our prior encounter, I would have been defeated in mere moments!"
"Your sole reliance for daring to establish a sect in the Yandang Mountains is that Grand Protector of yours. His recent absence from the New Sword Sect suggests he's likely a hired hand secured through substantial promises. To confront our sect relying solely on your own strength today, you can bid farewell to ever leaving this hall!"
As Lu Fengchun's tirade ended, the smile on Yi Feng's face widened.
These individuals were truly ignorant, their limited foresight pitiable. For a mere sixth-grade sect, such was the extent of their understanding.
With a soft sigh, Yi Feng casually extended a palm.
What appeared to be an unremarkable palm strike unleashed a devastating surge of spiritual energy. It propelled Lu Fengchun backward a considerable distance, sending him crashing through the grand hall's side wall. Blood erupted from his mouth like a geyser, and despite his desperate struggles, he remained immobile.
A single, effortless palm strike had nearly obliterated the Golden Saber Sect's chief disciple before the very eyes of Jin Weiyuan!
The sheer might of Yi Feng's cultivation needed no further testament!
His imposing presence instilled profound fear!
At this juncture, even the most obtuse observer could plainly see that Yi Feng's power extended far beyond the Tai Chu Realm; the brutal reality served as undeniable proof!
Jin Weiyuan's pupils contracted, his countenance darkening considerably.
Rising to his feet with unwavering composure, he emitted a low, mirthless laugh.
"Hahaha..."
"Your Excellency possesses unparalleled cultivation; I concede my inferiority. Truly, the new replaces the old, much like the relentless flow of the Yangtze River."
"This wayward disciple of mine lacks self-awareness; his blindness is absolute, and his demise would warrant no pity. However, my Golden Saber Sect is far from insignificant. Should Your Excellency deign to join us, with our extensive network and influence, we can undoubtedly propel your cultivation to even greater heights."
"Henceforth, you shall serve as the Vice Sect Master of my Golden Saber Sect. Together, we shall command dominion over the numerous sects in this region, sharing in all glory and prosperity. What say you?"
As his resonant voice filled the hall, the elders of the Golden Saber Sect stared with wide eyes, utterly astonished by their Sect Master's proposition. Even the grievously wounded Lu Fengchun on the floor wore an expression of profound disbelief.
Only Yi Feng remained perpetually serene, his gaze undisturbed by any outward ripple.
The elder before him proved to be a genuinely formidable individual, possessing a keen understanding of his own limitations. Recognizing he was no match, he immediately extended an offer of recruitment, abandoning the resentment from his disciple's severe injury just moments prior.
Before overwhelming power, all other considerations were cast aside.
This was precisely what the world often acknowledged as might prevailing over right.
This man clearly grasped the principles of survival; his decisiveness and ruthlessness surpassed typical individuals. Within the Yandang Mountains, he could indeed be hailed as a paramount overlord.
Regrettably, his propositions held no sway over Yi Feng in the slightest.
Yi Feng's aspirations had never involved joining an established sect or finding contentment in earthly riches and influence. His original resolve in establishing his own sect was to return to the Nanli Kingdom, exact his vengeance, and ultimately obliterate the shamelessly contemptible Snow Moon Holy Land!
Against such monumental ambitions, the current recruitment offer appeared utterly preposterous, as absurd as a child proffering a mere piece of candy while claiming to share half an empire.
Without a moment's hesitation, Yi Feng channeled fifty percent of his cultivation base and unleashed another ferocious palm strike!
"Boom!"
An immense surge of spiritual energy erupted forward, possessing a might several times more tyrannical than his previous assault!
Every individual present turned ashen, sent tumbling backward; not a single one among the dozen or so elders of the Golden Saber Sect could withstand this solitary blow!
Jin Weiyuan's eyes widened dramatically, and he let out a horrified shriek as though he had witnessed a specter!
"Your cultivation… it's truly this overpowering!?"
As the palm wind hurtled towards him, knowing he was on the verge of severe injury, Jin Weiyuan hastily retrieved a jade token from his storage ring. He bit his tongue until it bled, spewing a mouthful of vital essence onto the token!
In the ensuing moment, he dissolved into a wisp of smoke and vanished without a trace.
Following that single palm strike, the grand hall of the Golden Saber Sect swayed precariously. The hall was littered with groaning figures strewn across the ground, and the Sect Master had abandoned his own sect to escape. It was an undeniable, crushing triumph.
Yi Feng, however, displayed little elation. Recalling the extraordinary talisman paper from earlier, he stood in quiet contemplation, his expression profound.
It wasn't until the clamor of conflict erupted from beyond the hall that he returned to himself, circulating his spiritual energy to issue a commanding shout.
"Effective immediately, the Golden Saber Sect is hereby disbanded! Those who yield without resistance will have their lives spared; those who dare to oppose will be slain without mercy!"
The Golden Saber Sect's formidable presence had already crumbled, and their elders were thoroughly demoralized by Yi Feng's might.
As these pronouncements resonated, the elders and numerous sect members collapsed to their knees on the spot, not daring to voice even the slightest dissent. In the brutal hierarchy that governed the Yandang Mountains region, everyone had long been resigned to such eventualities.
A major conflict concluded with virtually no casualties on their side, marking an absolute victory for the New Sword Sect.
The disciples who had accompanied him were filled with immense excitement, having never anticipated such an effortless victory. Upon opening the Golden Saber Sect's treasury, the discovery of several chests brimming with silver, coins, and spiritual treasures ignited an even greater fervor within the crowd, their celebratory shouts echoing endlessly.
"The Sect Master is invincible!"
"Long live the Sect Master!"
After managing the various remnants of the Golden Saber Sect, the disciples accompanied Yi Feng in escorting their substantial spoils back to their own sect, igniting another wave of wild jubilation.
The entirety of the New Sword Sect was enveloped in a state of exhilaration previously unknown.
