Chu Feng discovered with horror that his cultivation was too weak, and his Sword Qi was like throwing a cup of water onto a burning cart of firewood.
He could only barely restore a sliver of the divine weapon’s might. Moreover, as Chu Feng had observed, it had indeed suffered no small damage.
It was very likely that it had been damaged in the process of suppressing the Unparalleled Demon.
As Chu Feng’s Sword Qi flowed into the Demon Slaying Sword, all the treasure swords present vibrated in unison, emitting a buzzing sound in response.
Even the Heavenly Gang, Earth Fiend, and Shadowless, three divine weapon-level treasure swords, did the same.
Of course, the treasure swords of the Sword Saint-level experts present were also of the divine weapon level. However, most of them were low-grade divine weapons, which were far from comparable with top-grade divine weapons like Heavenly Gang and Earth Fiend.
Han Dong’s Shadowless Sword, though not very conspicuous, was definitely not of a low grade.
At the very least, it was a top-grade divine weapon.
It was most likely even a top-grade divine weapon. It is truly admirable that he became the second dark horse, only second to Chu Feng.
This time, in the journey to the Sword Tomb, the only sword masters who managed to survive and enter the seventh level of the Sword Tomb were him and Chu Feng.
Many Sword Saints didn’t get the chance, reduced to mere accessories. Despite only having the cultivation of sword masters, they obtained such a great opportunity, which was the result of not just luck but more so personal effort.
Chu Feng swung his sword towards the sky, and true to its nature as a Heavenly Divine Weapon, even if it was damaged, even if it could only unleash a thread of power, it still managed to break through the Demon Power of the Unparalleled Demon.
"Chu Feng, do you want to kill me?" Prince Jianyun discovered that after Chu Feng swung his sword and broke the Demon Power’s constraints, he was rushing towards him with the sword.
He was greatly alarmed.
In desperation, he could not care for anything else; he bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of essence blood.
Nine Red Sword Qi merged with the essence blood, condensing into one. They transformed into a Crimson Dragon, hovering over Prince Jianyun’s head.
"Nine Veins arise, the sword dragon roars, shocking the world! Break for me!"
As Prince Jianyun shouted fiercely, he also managed to break through the Demon Power and gained freedom. Prince Jianyun held the sword in one hand and grasped a Talismanic Elixir in the other, his eyes filled with killing intent staring at Chu Feng.
His expression was extraordinarily solemn.
With Chu Feng obtaining the Heavenly Divine Weapon, it was uncertain who would win in a duel with Prince Jianyun. Prince Jianyun also felt a severe threat.
Just as the two were prepared to fight to the death for a resolution, the Ancient Demon outside had already broken through the altar’s defenses.
The entire altar collapsed as if it was hit by an earthquake.
While everyone gained freedom, they also scattered in terror, fleeing in all directions.
The Wolf Head Ancient Demon, which had been especially slow in its movements at the third level, suddenly turned into a blood-colored shadow and pounced towards Elder Huang, who was closest to it.
This scared the piss out of Elder Huang.
Facing danger, Elder Huang’s true nature was also revealed. He violently crushed a Talismanic Elixir; it was actually a Golden Talisman Elixir.
The elixir turned into a golden light screen, blocking the Wolf Head Ancient Demon for a moment. Taking this opportunity, Elder Huang fled to a distant place at the fastest speed of his life.
He definitely did not dare to flee towards the Rashamon Sect.
Because the people from the Rashamon Sect were mortal enemies and would definitely take advantage of the situation to finish him off.
Elder Huang dared only to flee towards the Shangguan family’s side.
At this moment, the three Respected Elders of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect maintained the same frontline. They assisted one another, forming a united front.
Zang Jianfeng also closely followed the three Respected Elders, acting together.
To avoid any unexpected misfortunes.
Prince Jianyun, being a True Disciple and possessing the Supreme Level Nine Yang Sword Veins, thus received the protection of the three Respected Elders.
Han Xiaoying, now with the Earth Fiend Sword that added wings to a tiger, naturally received even more favor and affection from Elder Zhuang.
He kept her by his side, to prevent her from being killed by the Ancient Demons.
Shangguan Bei, with many masters from the Shangguan family protecting him, did not require Elder Yang’s concern.
Chu Feng and Han Dong, however, were ruthlessly abandoned by these Elders. In times of crisis, even protectors could be directly forsaken in the eyes of the Sect Elders.
Let alone ordinary disciples.
Although Chu Feng and Han Dong each had obtained a Treasure Sword, in these Elders’ eyes, they were still deemed unworthy of attention. Their value was far less than True Disciples like Prince Jianyun and Han Xiaoying, who possessed Special Sword Veins.
Although Han Xiaoying’s current status was merely that of Deacon Level, with her Earth Fiend Sword and the significant breakthrough and comprehension of the Seven Killings Sword Skill, she could definitely promote to a True Disciple in this year’s Sect competition.
Elder Yang perhaps felt that the power of their Sect’s four Sword Saints still appeared insufficient.
Now that all the Treasure Swords had recognized their masters, staying here was meaningless. Everyone thought of escaping the Sword Tomb, evading the pursuit of the four Ancient Demons.
"Fellow Taoist Shangguan, why don’t the Shangguan family and our Ten Thousand Sword Sect join forces and fight our way out, what do you say?" Elder Yang extended an invitation to Shangguan Yun.
He was Shangguan Bei’s master, with a relatively close relationship with the people of the Shangguan family.
"Alright! Then let’s do it together!" Shangguan Yun was also apprehensive, and it was precisely what he wished for to be able to form an alliance with the powerful Elders of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
Masters from both powerful forces joined together, making their way towards the Sixth Level.
Han Xiaoying pleaded, "Master, please take my husband with us as we escape!" She was forcefully pulled along by Elder Zhuang.
"Foolish! Now is not the time for womanly kindness. With Ancient Demons before us, even our Sect’s protectors have been directly abandoned; Chu Feng is just an ordinary disciple. Taking one more person increases our risk."
Elder Zhuang, at this life-and-death juncture, showed no mercy, sternly scolding Han Xiaoying.
"If Master refuses to take my husband with us, then I won’t leave either!" Han Xiaoying struggled free from Elder Zhuang’s grip, preparing to jump from the sword, resolved to live or die with Chu Feng.
"Hmph, with me here, I won’t allow you to make such a foolish mistake!"
Elder Zhuang’s face was cold and severe, and he suddenly made a move, restraining Han Xiaoying, then forcibly taking her away.
"My husband..." Han Xiaoying, unable to move, could only let herself be carried away by Elder Zhuang into the distance. Tears in her eyes fell like beads off a string.
"Xiao Ying, just take care of yourself, believe in me, I will definitely survive and come out to consummate our marriage!"
Chu Feng looked at her reluctantly.
Parting in the face of life and death is especially heartbreaking.
Even with confidence, Chu Feng still had no foundation in his heart facing so many Ancient Demons. The probability of his demise was incredibly high.
Being able to watch his beloved woman successfully escape, he was extremely willing.
"At a time , you still have the mood to joke!" Han Xiaoying didn’t smile but cried even harder, blurring her vision. The figure of Chu Feng also became blurry.
"Han Dong, stay close to me to avoid any danger!" Chu Feng, abandoned by the Sect’s Elders, harbored some resentment in his heart.
Now was not the time for such considerations.
Not waiting or relying on others, finding a way to escape on his own was the best strategy.
