Chapter 1129: Theyre All Small Fry
A single sword strike!
Just one strike was all it took!
The flying vessel, reinforced with multiple overlapping defensive formations and previously unscathed, was cleanly split in two!
What terrifying cultivation was this?!
Even more horrifying...
That terrifyingly neat fissure, spanning several zhang in length, continued to expand, reaching distant mountain peaks and splitting them apart in an instant!
Even the hidden meditation chamber deep within the flying vessel was cleaved open without resistance!
In that moment—
Sunlight poured in, illuminating every figure inside!
Including the imposing figure of Sect Master Tu Daofang, over a dozen powerful experts wore expressions of stunned disbelief!"What in the world is happening?!"
A shocked Tu Daofang leapt to his feet, while the ten elders around him rose into the air in alarm!
Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined...
Their supposedly impregnable flying vessel could be split apart in an instant!
Before Tu Daofang could even process the situation—
A devastating sword beam descended as if cleaving heaven and earth itself!
He barely had time to react before the sword light grazed past his left side, reducing the opulent meditation chamber to two halves. Precious treasures and furnishings rained down like dust upon the earth!
Deafening booms shook the air, leaving everyone in horrified silence!
Tu Daofang's vision swam, his heart gripped by an unprecedented terror!
Immediately, he erupted into the sky, leading the ten elders to investigate.
"Who dares—"
His shout was drowned out by an even louder roar!
"Brothers! Charge!"
"These are all just small fry! Look at this trash flying vessel—one slash from me and it's done! Snatching a few snakeheads will be child's play! Now's our chance to earn merit!"
Yi Feng raised his sword high, his eyes blazing with confidence.
Having witnessed the flying vessel split apart with a single strike, the disciples behind him were instantly fired up, their morale soaring as they echoed his battle cries.
"This flying vessel is nothing special!"
"Elder Yi is right! This must be just some ordinary scout ship from the Chixiao Heavenly Sect!"
"A bunch of nobodies! No need to hold back!"
"Charge! Glory for our sect awaits!"
With a few leading the shouts, the disciples of Moon God Pavilion grew even more battle-hungry!
Suddenly faced with a group charging at them with unstoppable momentum, Tu Daofang was dumbfounded.
In all his years of sweeping through multiple heavenly sects, he had never encountered such ruthless opponents. Where had these fearless youngsters come from?
Not only had they effortlessly destroyed his formation-sealed flying vessel, but they were now fearlessly charging at him!
And the most outrageous part—
He, a sect master, was being called "small fry" by these reckless brats! The humiliation was unbearable!
"Insolent fools! You court death!"
Furious, Tu Daofang erupted with terrifying might!
Beside him, the ten elders also unleashed their unfathomable Dao power, dark mist swirling ominously around them as their auras surged!
With this level of power, slaying Heaven-rank experts would be as easy as butchering dogs!
But just as they gathered their devastating energy—
Yi Feng was already upon them, sword flashing!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
A few crisp sounds later, flesh and bone parted where his sword light passed!
Tu Daofang and the ten elders were bisected in an instant—like chopping melons and slicing vegetables. Their horrified eyes remained wide open even in death, their severed limbs plummeting to the ground.
Yi Feng brandished his sword mid-air, rallying his disciples.
"See? I told you they were small fry! Now do you believe me?"
"Brothers, charge! This is our moment to shine!"
The disciples' eyes burned with fighting spirit!
"They really were just cannon fodder!"
"Elder Yi cut them down in one strike—what else could they be?!"
"Ugh, and here we were worrying for nothing!"
"Junior brothers, these are definitely spies! Kill them all!"
Witnessing Yi Feng's unstoppable might, even Elder Li threw caution to the wind, shouting with newfound confidence.
"Slay them!"
"For the glory of our sect!"
His cry ignited the disciples completely.
Regardless of cultivation level, they now fought with unshakable belief, swords gleaming as they pursued the enemy. All their earlier tension erupted into explosive combat prowess!
Meanwhile, the remaining Chixiao Heavenly Sect lackeys...
Having survived the terrifying sword strike that split their flying vessel, then watching their sect master and elders get slaughtered like livestock, their faces were drained of blood!
To them, Yi Feng was nothing short of a demon god!
With their leaders gone, nearly a hundred Chixiao disciples broke into panicked flight!
"R-run for your lives!"
The few still coherent scrambled madly, while others were too petrified to even muster the courage to flee!
The battle became a one-sided rout—Moon God Pavilion's thirty-plus disciples crushed all resistance!
Within moments—
The wreckage of the flying vessel crashed into the earth, sending dust and debris flying as the shockwave rippled through the forest!
As Moon God Pavilion's disciples scavenged the battlefield, exclamations of delight rang out.
"This storage ring has a Saint-grade pill inside!"
"Holy crap!"
"Even these small fry carry Saint-grade pills? How rich is Chixiao Heavenly Sect?!"
"Tch! They must've looted it from other sects!"
"No doubt about it!"
...
Amid the excited chatter, Elder Li approached Yi Feng with a helpless bow.
"Elder Yi."
"These captives are completely unresponsive—probably scared out of their wits. We won't get any information from them."
Yi Feng waved dismissively.
"Just kill them. They're not good people anyway."
Elder Li bowed respectfully and took action himself, clearly showing even greater deference to Yi Feng's command.
One after another, disciples stepped forward to report.
Yi Feng had no interest in spoils of war, so with a wave of his hand, he followed the simplest principle—whoever picked it up kept it.
Instantly, cheers and admiration erupted, the disciples' eyes filled with reverence!
Watching the joyous scene of overwhelming victory, the plump Elder Wang felt awkward. Having observed everything from the sidelines, he had been stunned multiple times and now seemed completely out of place.
Now that they had achieved a great victory, he, who had once voiced opposition, could only feel his old face burning with shame.
Witnessing Yi Feng's fearless decisiveness and his magnanimous demeanor, even if Elder Wang was reluctant to admit it, he had no choice but to acknowledge Yi Feng's extraordinary capabilities.
Stepping forward, he clasped his hands in salute.
"Elder Yi, I was overly cautious and repeatedly offended you. I beg for your forgiveness."
Yi Feng only cared about finding the stronghold of the Chixiao Heavenly Sect and had no mind for anything else.
With a slight nod, he brushed it all off with effortless grace.
"No matter."
"We all act for the sake of the sect. Don’t dwell on it. Hurry and clear the battlefield—continue gathering intelligence!"
Elder Wang was deeply moved by these words and felt even more ashamed.
He promptly saluted and immediately joined Elder Li in directing the cleanup. In no time, they led the disciples in clearing the battlefield, their eyes alight with the joy of their gains.
Even though they had only encountered a minor flying vessel, everyone had profited handsomely, and their respect for Yi Feng, the newly arrived elder, had grown immensely!
Laughter echoed peacefully by the forest’s edge.
The whole incident seemed like a minor interlude, and no one paid it much mind.
Deep in the dense woods, however, the hidden experts were covering their mouths in shock. Whether they were former members of the Heavenly Sect or so-called revered seniors, all wore expressions of sheer terror!
More than a dozen pairs of eyes were wide open, not daring to even breathe loudly!
At the forefront, the elderly Lv Dongping stared with bulging eyes, his weathered face filled with indescribable astonishment!
The other sect experts beside him were equally horrified, their frantic mental transmissions buzzing nonstop!
"Holy shit!!!"
"What the hell did I just witness?!"
"Tu Daofang… just died like that?!"
"That sword strike!!!"
"Just what kind of existence is that senior? How is he so terrifying?!"
...
The mental transmissions exploded in Fang Hai’s mind like thunder.
Once a proud disciple of the Wanyue Heavenly Sect, revered by the world, he had witnessed the Chixiao Heavenly Sect’s massacre of his sect. Just moments ago, he had joined forces with other experts to resist them, already viewing the Chixiao Heavenly Sect as an unfathomable horror.
Now, his entire worldview had been shattered.
The seemingly invincible Tu Daofang had been slain with a single sword strike!
In the face of that sword, $2hey—this group of so-called experts—weren’t even worthy of being called ants!
That one…
That senior, just how monstrously powerful was he?!
Thankfully, this man upheld righteousness and struck down Tu Daofang and his ilk. He must be a venerable elder of great virtue. If someone like him turned to evil, no one in the world could oppose him—the Southern Li Heavenly Domain would become hell itself!
A wave of retrospective fear washed over Fang Hai, drenching his back in cold sweat.
His face pale, he turned back, his mental transmission trembling.
"E-Elder Lv… just who is that senior? What sect does he belong to?"
"To annihilate the Chixiao Heavenly Sect’s upper echelon in the blink of an eye… I’ve never even heard of such a thing!"
