I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God

Chapter 1469: Breaking Down the Whole into Parts

After a single exchange of blows.

Feng Mofeng, the Fourth Elder of the Heavenly Fate Sect, looked even more astonished.

Having been renowned for many years, he had roamed the Yandang Mountains with hardly a worthy opponent. Even with his esteemed status as an elder of the Heavenly Fate Sect, he rarely encountered such fierce sword intent.

With the palm strike just now, he knew he had not underestimated the two. He had used eighty percent of his cultivation base. Coupled with the sect master's instructions before his departure, his attack was extremely swift, intending to catch them completely off guard!

It had been countless years since he had attacked with such seriousness.

Yet, to his surprise.

These two young men before him not only possessed rich combat experience, instantly launching counterattacks without the slightest panic, but they also wielded a sword intent beyond imagination.

Through that single exchange, he deeply felt the chilling, murderous aura within their sword intent. Without being forged through countless life-and-death battles, they could never have achieved such mastery!

For these two to be so young, yet already possess cultivation at the Heavenly Sun Realm and such terrifying sword intent—having so many extraordinary traits gathered in one body was enough to call them monstrous geniuses!

When did two such extraordinary beings emerge in the Yandang Mountains?

Even a figure like Feng Mofeng was greatly shocked, a trace of wariness surfacing in his eyes!

In contrast.

Yi Feng and the Youth in Black appeared much more relaxed.

From the brief clash, they clearly realized that the gap between them was not as vast as they had imagined. Although this old man was slightly superior in realm, he was not a full major realm above them. With the two of them fighting together, they were not without a chance of winning.

With this thought in mind, the two silently exchanged a glance.

Bolstered by years of tacit understanding, they required no words. They simultaneously stepped into the air, two streaks of sword intent tearing through the starry night!

Seeing this, Feng Mofeng also met them with his full strength!

For a time.

Sword beams danced in the sky, illuminating the dead of night! Deafening booms spread like thunder. The terrifying collision of spiritual energy in this grand battle was enough to be etched into the memories of everyone present for a lifetime.

As time passed, Yi Feng and the Youth in Black fought with increasing valor. Although their time cultivating had been short and their cultivation bases were slightly inferior, the advantage of their youth was now on full display.

These two brothers, who had fought their way out of a sea of blood, seemed to possess boundless spiritual energy. Their will to fight was inexhaustible, each move fiercer than the last.

Even though they were locked in a life-and-death struggle, the two seemed to be gaining new insights, growing continuously as if they were in the midst of cultivation. Coupled with their perfect teamwork, they gradually began to show signs of gaining the upper hand!

This monstrous combat prowess utterly dumbfounded everyone present.

On the grounds of the New Sword Sect, now littered with broken walls and ruins, people from both sides stared blankly at the night sky, the shock in their hearts rising wave after wave.

Seeing yet another sword beam flying toward his face.

Midair, Feng Mofeng felt a great shock in his heart. He was finding the battle increasingly strenuous. A bad premonition suddenly struck him: if they continued this battle of attrition, he might actually face the danger of defeat!

While dodging to the side, he caught sight of the crowd on the ground from the corner of his eye.

Instantly.

Feng Mofeng hatched a scheme, a sinister look flashing in his eyes.

He abruptly struck out with a palm, sending terrifying spiritual energy crushing straight down toward the disciples of the New Sword Sect!

In the face of such terrifying cultivation, the disciples felt as if Mount Tai was crashing down upon them. Even as they suddenly snapped out of their daze, they were completely powerless to resist. The despair of impending death surged in everyone's eyes!

Yi Feng had just thrust his sword forward and was powerless to turn back to save them. Seeing this, the Youth in Black hurriedly flicked his sword back, unleashing a sword beam to block the palm strike!

Unfortunately, his desperate rescue attempt was too late.

Even though that sword strike carried impressive might, it only managed to block a fraction of the palm's force!

Bang!

After an astonishing sonic boom, the shockwaves continuously spilled outward. Over a dozen New Sword Sect disciples died on the spot, bursting into mists of blood!

Seeing this, Yi Feng erupted in fury and prepared to charge in with a fierce attack!

For the first time in years, he felt such intense rage. This despicable tactic thoroughly ignited his resolve to fight to the death!

In an instant.

Yi Feng seemed to return to the Soul-Severing Cliff of the past, his entire body exuding a spine-chilling coldness. Even though he was clad in white, he looked as terrifying as if he were bathed in blood!

Sensing that extraordinary battle intent, the heavily exhausted Feng Mofeng immediately fled!

Even with the Youth in Black fiercely pursuing him with sword in hand, there was no trace of him to be found.

Seeing this despicable villain escape, with nowhere to vent his fury, he could only charge down to the ground with his sword, slaughtering the invading enemies of the Heavenly Fate Sect!

Blood soaked the martial arts arena of the New Sword Sect, and unwilling roars echoed through the night sky.

After a long time.

This night raid battle finally came to an end, concluding in an incredibly stifling and pyrrhic victory.

The elders and disciples gathered the corpses of their fellow sect members, remaining silent for a long time. They all wore expressions of unwillingness and frustration. In the face of the absolute gap in strength, they felt only a wave of powerlessness and self-blame. Other than etching this blood feud into their hearts and properly burying their lost comrades, they could do nothing else.

Dawn was already breaking.

The New Sword Sect was completely unrecognizable. The remaining few dozen people stood before the ruins, gritting their teeth as they gazed at Yi Feng.

Sect Master!

If we had not dragged you down, even if that old thief is an elder of the Heavenly Fate Sect, he definitely would not have been a match for you and the Chief Protector!

It is all because of our incompetence!

The unwilling and self-reproachful words fell into silence along with sliding hot tears. The morale of the New Sword Sect had suffered a heavy blow; cruel reality had shattered all their past beautiful dreams.

Looking at everyone's downcast expressions, Yi Feng did not show any intention of blaming them. He merely spoke in a deep voice, instructing them on many matters for the future.

Having experienced this battle, I am sure you all clearly understand that the Heavenly Fate Sect is absolutely not something we can contend with right now.

From today onward, the New Sword Sect is temporarily disbanded. Everyone will leave separately to preserve our strength, but our New Sword Sect will absolutely not perish. Everyone must remember today's blood feud, cultivate bitterly in seclusion, and inventory all the wealth within the sect to be distributed immediately!

When we reunite in the future, we will definitely storm the Heavenly Fate Sect!

As soon as these words were spoken, a bit of fighting spirit finally returned to the crowd's eyes. Once the wealth was distributed, many tightly gripped the spirit stones in their hands and successively called out to ask!

Storm the Heavenly Fate Sect!

Never forget the blood feud, storm the Heavenly Fate Sect!

Sect Master, when can we reunite?

Following the question, everyone raised their eyes to look at Yi Feng, a look of anticipation surfacing in their eyes.

Yi Feng pondered for a moment and made a promise on the spot.

One year.

One year from now, if everyone has not forgotten today's blood feud, we shall reunite here. At that time, we will discuss where to go from there!

One year...

The disciples and elders silently looked at each other, revealing a resolute light in their eyes. They simultaneously bowed in farewell and went their separate ways.

After everyone had left.

The surroundings suddenly became remarkably quiet, making one feel an unspeakable sense of loneliness and helplessness.

Just yesterday, there was a celebratory banquet, and everyone was full of expectations for the future. Yet, separated by only a single night, there was now ruin everywhere and the sect had withered away.

Witnessing this massive contrast, the Youth in Black secretly clenched his fists. He looked back at Yi Feng, his tone carrying a hint of urgency.

This one-year agreement, you were not just saying it casually, right?

As soon as his voice fell, Yi Feng nodded firmly.

That is naturally so.

Now that everyone has left, we no longer have any worries holding us back. It is time to take action and exact our revenge!

Hearing this, the youth nodded slightly.

This young master knew it, you disbanded the New Sword Sect just so you would not drag everyone down...

Halfway through his words, he remembered something else, a look of doubt appearing in his eyes.

This is your style. You are a man who honors loyalty and righteousness.

"However, even if we no longer have any attachments and can defeat that despicable Elder Six from before, with just the two of us, I am afraid it is still far from enough to storm the Tianyuan Sect and take our revenge."

"Being all brawn and no brains does not sound like you. Hurry up and tell your granddaddy, do you have some brilliant idea up your sleeve?"

Hearing this, Yi Feng revealed a smile.

"I knew I could not hide it from you."

He then leaned close to his ear and explained in detail.

"We might indeed be unable to clash head-on with the Tianyuan Sect, but if we cannot win, we can run. Now that we have nothing holding us back, we can go cause trouble and seek revenge every few days. What can they possibly do to us?"

Upon hearing this, the Youth in Black's eyes darted around, and his face lit up with excitement.

"Run if we cannot win?"

"That actually works?"

"Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Even if the Tianyuan Sect has many experts, they cannot withstand constant sneak attacks, right? As the saying goes, a spear in the open is easy to dodge, but an arrow in the dark is hard to guard against. This is definitely feasible!"

"Even if they have experts, we can just slip away! Back then, we managed to escape even the Nanli Kingdom; could the forces of a single sect really catch us?"

Seeing that his brother had grasped the essence of the plan, Yi Feng also smiled and nodded.

"Exactly."

"Now that our New Sword Sect has broken up into parts, with only the two of us showing our faces, it will be very difficult for them to track us."

"As the saying goes: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy tires, we attack! From now on, we will focus on assassinations and sabotage. There is absolutely no need to drag out a fight. Whenever we encounter a Heavenly Sun Realm elder, we will just turn tail and run! Once they fail to catch us, we will sneak back to cause more destruction, and grab some spiritual treasures and wealth while we are at it!"

"Even if they find their way here, it is nothing but a pile of ruins. Let them vent their anger on it. The worst-case scenario is simply the Tianyuan Sect mobilizing all their forces to hunt us down, but we are not afraid. We will just wear them out!"

"After all, it is just the two of us. We do not have a massive enterprise like they do, so we can afford a war of attrition! As they weaken and we grow stronger, let us see who comes out on top!"

After this explanation, a smile had already appeared on the face of the Youth in Black.

"What a brilliant 'when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy tires, we attack'."

"Well said! We will just launch sneak attacks like this and see what they can do! This stratagem is truly exquisite, even more of an Elder Six than that despicable elder from before. Your granddaddy absolutely loves it!"

"Brother, where did you learn this move? Does it have a name?"

Hearing this, Yi Feng smiled faintly and casually replied.

"It is called guerrilla warfare."

"Let us go. We will first scout around the Tianyuan Sect and teach this so-called strongest sect a lesson!"

As his voice faded.

The Youth in Black completely beamed with joy, humming a little tune as he followed him.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder, leisurely crossing mountains and ridges along the way.

Soon, they arrived at the location of the Tianyuan Sect.

The northern foothills of Mount Tiandang.

Relying on the influence of the Tianyuan Sect, this place was indeed extremely prosperous. Even though it was located in the mountainous borders of the Liehuo Kingdom, a bustling city was actually situated here. The city was crowded with traveling merchants and cultivators. Taverns lined the streets row upon row, the mellow aroma of wine and food wafted through the air, and the sounds of heated discussions and conversations were endless.

Seeing this scene.

Yi Feng and the Youth in Black exchanged knowing smiles and walked toward a lively tavern by the side of the road.
