CHAPTER 349: CHAPTER 349: UNJUST

"Husband!"

Han Xiaoying couldn’t help but cry out in alarm. Because this sword light was truly terrifying, even she felt scared.

"I hope Chu Feng can withstand this sword!" Elder Shoumei also couldn’t help but tightly clutch the sword in his hand. Just like Elder Luo, if Chu Feng loses, he will undoubtedly protect his cherished student.

He would never just watch as Chu Feng is killed or crippled.

Given the potential Chu Feng has shown, as long as he lives and does not die young, it won’t take long for him to become a prominent figure among the younger generation of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect and even the main pillar of the entire sect.

Elders like Elder Yang and Elder Huang all wore sinister smiles. They had long been looking forward to Chu Feng being killed.

Elder He watched the duel on the platform with absolute confidence in his disciple.

Elder Zhuang, however, appeared indifferent, not caring whether Chu Feng or Qiu Tai lived or died.

The entire Asking Sword Platform fell eerily silent at this moment, with everyone tensely watching the two on the platform. No one had expected that Chu Feng, a mere ordinary disciple who had joined the sect for only a year, would fight like a war god possessed.

In a very short amount of time, he had grown strong enough to compete with Qiu Tai.

Recalling how many mocked Chu Feng when he first joined the sect, claiming he got in through little tricks, they couldn’t help but feel waves of shame.

Far from the platform, in the crowd, Chu Feng’s second sister was also watching the decisive battle with anxiety.

The gap between her and Chu Feng was simply too great now.

She was still just an ordinary disciple, still in the Intermediate Sword Master Realm, while Chu Feng had already been promoted to the Great Sword Master Realm and had long been taken in as a disciple by an Elder.

Chu Yun’s status, like that of most ordinary disciples in various sects, was that of the absolute bottom rung.

Extremely humble.

She didn’t even have the qualifications to get close to the platform.

All she could do was to silently cheer for Chu Feng from a distance, worrying about him.

...

"Sword Soul is even more advanced than Sword Domain. It can directly and greatly enhance the lethality of the sword light without any interference."

This was the second time Chu Feng had witnessed the power of a Sword Soul since his rebirth.

Even his master, Elder Shoumei, could only manage to barely condense the Crimson Flame Sword Soul when taking the Soul Burning Elixir.

Faced with the terrifying slash of the sword light, Chu Feng’s face showed a look of utter determination.

Whoosh!

He deployed the Slow Sword Technique once again, but this time, it was noticeably more skilled than the previous sword strike, and its power was even greater.

"Sing~!"

The Demon Slaying Sword sensed its master’s peril and began to emanate a series of clear humming tones. The Dragon Soul within the sword body, which had been dormant, now opened its eyes to help Chu Feng overcome his powerful foe.

"Roar~!"

The sound of dragon’s roar emitted from within the sword body, and at this moment, the entire Demon Slaying Sword burst forth with a dazzling treasure light.

"Boom boom boom!"

The terrible sound of clashing rang out continuously.

Chu Feng’s sword light was incredibly formidable, with an augmentation of Evil Qi and driven by the Asura Swordsmanship while wielding the Demon Slaying Sword. Additionally, the Dragon Soul within the sword helped Chu Feng confront the formidable enemy.

Thus, its power had reached an extreme.

It was undoubtedly an extraordinary performance.

"Master, I will also lend you a hand!" At this moment, the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King decisively helped Chu Feng confront the strong enemy.

It cast an illusion technique, hoping to confuse Qiu Tai and make his sword light veer off course.

However, it quickly cried out in horror, "It’s no use, this person’s will is extremely firm, his mind free of distractions, I can’t affect him at all." The Demon Eye Evil Spirit King, which currently had only one demon eye, might be able to affect someone as tough as Qiu Tai if it were to advance to the Hundred-Eyed Evil Spirit King in the future.

After clashing sword lights for a moment, both unleashed their killer moves.

Almost at the same time, both suffered severe injuries and were sent flying backward.

"Chu Feng, I said I would cripple you, and I can definitely do it!" Qiu Tai’s expression was extremely fierce.

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, blood gushed out from it.

Qiu Tai had two swords, with one being knocked away by Chu Feng. In the instant he was sent flying, the remaining sword condensed a thin sword light, shooting towards Chu Feng’s Dantian.

Do not underestimate its size; its power was immense to an extreme.

Once it penetrated Chu Feng’s Dantian, it would explode with tremendous power, inflicting horrific damage. It was very likely to directly destroy Chu Feng’s Dantian and obliterate his Nine Yang Sword Veins.

In their mutually destructive fighting style, Chu Feng was heavily injured and drained of energy. He didn’t even have the strength to move a finger, not to mention putting up resistance.

It was already impressive that he managed to remain conscious and not pass out.

At this critical moment, the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King flew out from Chu Feng’s body. Initially, if he had the Sword Shadow Worm with him, it could also save Chu Feng.

However, the rules of the competition did not allow the use of Elixirs or pets for assistance.

The Demon Eye Evil Spirit King was invisible and intangible, unseen by others, which is why it was unharmed.

The Sword Shadow Worm was left with Elder Shoumei by Chu Feng.

The Demon Eye Evil Spirit King desperately blocked the thin sword light; its Spiritual Body instantly collapsed.

But that sword light also dissipated without a trace.

It successfully saved Chu Feng but was killed in the process.

"Mokeboer~!"

Chu Feng no longer had the strength to make a sound, let alone scream. He could only call for the Evil Spirit King in his heart.

Being able to tame it as a pet was Chu Feng’s fortune.

During the past year, it had helped Chu Feng on many major occasions, saving him multiple times.

Now, to protect Chu Feng from being crippled, it sacrificed itself.

Chu Feng’s heart felt as though a piece was ripped out, as if stabbed by several knives, piercingly painful.

"Am I truly the cursed lonely star of calamity? Why do the people around me always suffer misfortune?" Chu Feng felt an unbearable pain, sadness, and grief.

Thump thump!

He and Qiu Tai fell onto the platform simultaneously.

Then, Chu Feng’s vision went dark, and he knew no more.

Nobody expected that the duel between Qiu Tai and Chu Feng, which seemed to be a foregone conclusion, would end with both parties grievously injured in a fight to the end.

"After discussion by the Elder Council, Qiu Tai wins! Chu Feng loses!"

Elder He announced the verdict.

"When it was clearly a draw between the two, why adjudicate my disciple as the loser?" Elder Shoumei slammed the table and stood up, infuriated to the extreme.

For Qiu Tai, the outcome of the duel did not have much impact.

At most, it meant slipping one rank among the True Disciples.

But for Chu Feng, it represented his future prospects. Chu Feng, being an unknown, lacked any credentials.

He desperately needed such a glorious victory to establish a foundation and erect his prestige.

Even if the Elder Council declared a draw between Chu Feng and Qiu Tai, Elder Shoumei wouldn’t have said much.

But now, declaring Qiu Tai the winner was clearly unfair. It was obvious that they were banding together to suppress Chu Feng.

"This is the result deliberated by the Elder Council! Elder Shoumei, please refrain from being unreasonably persistent. We understand your feelings very well. You’re desperate for fame, so frantic to promote a disciple that can stand out for the Sect," said Elder Yang with a sneer, adding insult to injury.
