Chapter 628: Chapter 638: Shamelessness and Injustice
It seemed to verify Elder Lei Ting’s crow’s mouth curse.
Chu Feng drew the swords from his back with a reverse grip, one sword in each hand, surprisingly wielding two divine weapons at the same time.
He had a total of three low-grade divine weapons and one Heavenly Divine Weapon on his person.
Originally, the preparation of four divine weapons was for setting up a Sword Array.
Now, it actually helped him a great deal.
It was like going to an exam and forgetting to bring a pen, very likely resulting in immediate disqualification.
"Twin Dragons Emerge, one strikes the enemy’s head, the other severs the wicked root!" Chu Feng launched an attack with both swords at two critical points of Lu Qingyuan’s body.
It perfectly complemented the whiff of Abnormal Fire he had released earlier.
"Chu Feng, you’re courting death! I am going all out!" A vicious look crossed Lu Qingyuan’s face as he swept his sword towards the Nine Yang Strange Fire unleashed by Chu Feng, mistaking it for sword light.
It could only be said that ignorance is fearlessness.
Lu Qingyuan’s divine weapon struck Chu Feng’s Nine Yang Strange Fire.
Logically, if what Chu Feng had released was truly sword light, a single strike would shatter it, and the entire sword light would dissipate.
But this was Abnormal Fire, which was a different story.
It was like a small flame that, when struck, would scatter into thousands of sparks.
That’s exactly what happened to Lu Qingyuan.
A single horizontal sweep turned the strand of Nine Yang Strange Fire into thousands of sparks, scattering like pearls dropped by a heavenly maiden, many of which fell towards himself.
The scorching high temperature also sobered Lu Qingyuan up quite a bit.
"This isn’t sword light!"
In panic, Lu Qingyuan hastily activated his Shield Sword Soul, conjuring a sword shield to fend off these terrifying sparks.
Puchi!
Though the sparks were blocked, Chu Feng’s divine weapon ruthlessly penetrated his sword shield, stabbing into Lu Qingyuan’s lower abdomen.
Even an untrained punch can kill a skilled master, not to mention Chu Feng had calculated every step.
It was inevitable that Lu Qingyuan could not escape this fate.
"Uh..." A sword to the abdomen elicited an expression of pain on Lu Qingyuan’s face.
As Chu Feng violently pulled out the sword, the sword light twisted.
Sizzle sizzle!
It was like a tire being punctured with several small holes, now frantically deflating.
This leaking Sword Qi represented the hard-earned cultivation that Lu Qingyuan had accumulated. Now that his Alchemy Field Qi Sea was broken, he began to lose his power.
"Chu Feng... you actually crippled my Dantian, you will not die a good death..." Lu Qingyuan let out a shrill curse, sounding like a resentful woman.
He felt terrified as he sensed the power he had cultivated being rapidly lost.
There was no stopping it.
As for the physical pain, that was secondary.
"Disciple, quickly concede and escape the stage. Let your teacher heal your Dantian!" The turn of events happened too swiftly, in the blink of an eye, Elder Lei Ting had no time to intervene.
Watching his disciple’s Dantian being pierced, Elder Lei Ting was extremely outraged.
The immediate priority was to find a way to heal his disciple’s Dantian right away.
"Thinking of conceding? That depends on whether I agree or not!"
With a cold smile on his face, Chu Feng mercilessly brought his sword down upon Lu Qingyuan.
Shick shick shick!
Every stroke drew blood; Chu Feng was exceptionally ruthless, severing Lu Qingyuan’s hand and foot tendons one by one.
"Stop, stop now!"
Elder Lei Ting sprang to his feet, raising his voice in a stern shout to stop Chu Feng from continuing his violent acts.
"This sword strike is on behalf of Sect Master Pu Li of the Dan State Branch, this sword strike is on behalf of the Outer Disciples you have bullied, and this sword strike is on my own behalf..." Chu Feng was unmoved by Elder Lei Ting’s fierce shouting, turning a deaf ear.
He regarded the old man’s words as mere farting.
So what if he is an Inner Sect Elder?
If he’s willing to incite disciples to kill others and harm Chu Feng, then he should be prepared to be killed in turn.
Many of the elders on the stage furrowed their brows upon witnessing Chu Feng’s cruelty, while on the Outer Sect side, nearly a million Outer Disciples, both Outer Elders and ordinary Outer Disciples alike, cheered thunderously.
Chu Feng had viciously vented their pent-up frustration for them.
Dealing with an enemy like Lu Qingyuan required cruelty and no hesitation in showing mercy. Furthermore, Chu Feng was always ruthless in dealing with enemies, ensuring their complete elimination.
"The Elder commanded you to stop; are you deaf, or what’s the matter?"
Elder Lei Ting, like a great bird, swooped down upon the stage.
Becoming an Inner Sect Elder meant one must possess the cultivation of a Nine-star Sword God, an absolute prerequisite.
Boom!
Elder Lei Ting, disregarding his status, struck down at Chu Feng with a heavy-handed palm. Such was the force, poor Chu Feng—merely a Beginner Level Sword Saint—could not withstand it.
He was struck down, spat blood, and fell off the stage, motionless for a long time.
In a platform match, isn’t it the case that as long as no life is taken, the sect rules are not violated? How could Elder Lei Ting act so unreasonably?
The Outer Disciples were all extremely angered.
"How dare you cripple my disciple? At such a young age, to be so ruthless and heartless, I will not allow it!" Elder Lei Ting, after striking Chu Feng down with a palm causing severe injuries and vomiting of blood, was still relentless. In his furious state, he once again flew towards Chu Feng.
Just as he was about to strike another palm, someone suddenly appeared in front of Chu Feng.
"Bang!"
When the two clashed, the intense force they produced blew the surrounding disciples away.
Yet Chu Feng was protected by this person, unharmed and safe.
"Elder Zi Xu, you should stay out of this. Today, I must cripple him to rid our sect of this scourge. Otherwise, given time, who knows how many people from our sect this beast will harm!" Elder Lei Ting, seeing the person blocking him, was both shocked and furious.
"Hmph, such a disgrace that you count as an Elder. The disciples are having a contest; why are you interfering?"
"Chu Feng’s actions may indeed be fierce, but I don’t think he is in the wrong."
Elder Zi Xu showed no intention of stepping aside but instead rebuked Elder Lei Ting for his despicable behavior.
"In my opinion, while the talents of sect disciples are important, character is equally so. Chu Feng is too cruel in his actions and his character is vile; keeping him would be a threat!" At this moment, Han Sheng kicked Chu Feng while he was down, siding with Elder Lei Ting.
With his high ranking as the second on the Heavenly List, Han Sheng held an extremely high status in the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
Being a standout among True Disciples and also possessing the Sword God Cultivation of Nine Stars, his prestige and status were no less than those of an Elder.
Now with his words in support of Elder Lei Ting, Chu Feng’s predicament became once more perilous.
"Good, excellent inverting right and wrong, noble pretense of righteousness! In the halls of power, rotten wood assumes office, amongst the steps of the palace, beasts enjoy patronage; filled with wolves in sheep’s clothing in high ranks, bending the knee, such grovelers wield the reins of the state. Is this the manner of the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage?"
Chu Feng, too, had reached the peak of his fury; he had followed the rules, what crime had he committed?
Now, these people were breaking the rules one by one and furthermore slandering him; he could not endure it any longer.
"Elder Zi Xu, I thank you for your protection."
Chu Feng pushed Elder Zi Xu away and, propping himself up, stood firmly, his youthful frame exuding an unyielding and defiant iron will.
His gaze fixed on the judges’ seat where the Sect Master was.
"Sect Master! I know I am but an insignificant figure in your eyes. I, Chu Feng, am just a disciple who has recently joined the sect for a year, and my cultivation is pitifully low. I and my brothers from Dan State have traveled tens of thousands of miles, through countless dangers and hardships, to arrive at the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage. Since our arrival, we have been suppressed at every turn, suffering from unfair treatment. We have endured it all because we require the protection of the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage."
"Because the Panlong Heavenly Emperor wants to kill me, they have all borne humiliations and heavy burdens to stay."
The voice of Chu Feng was filled with unprecedented cold and harshness.
