Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Entering Demon Suppression Mountain

"The people from the Rashamon Sect are all ferocious and brutal, no one isn’t afraid of them. There’s no need for us to mock Chu Feng," a burly middle-aged man spoke up in Chu Feng’s defense, calming the dispute.

Though he too was dressed in the gray robe of an ordinary disciple, he was clearly much more composed compared to the others.

"Entering the Sword Tomb to snatch the swords, we all are bottom-tier in terms of strength. Even if there are great conflicts, we should prioritize the overall situation. We must unite and help each other, striving with all our might for the treasure swords."

The middle-aged man had considerable prestige; as soon as he spoke, even Lin Yuan immediately became subdued.

Lin Yuan just glared fiercely at Chu Feng without saying anything else.

"Chu Feng, would you be willing to join our team to enter the Sword Tomb for the treasure hunt?" the middle-aged man asked, staring at Chu Feng.

The rest also looked at Chu Feng with anticipation.

Because of Chu Feng’s special identity as a disciple of an elder, if he joined the team, the entire team would be able to receive care from Elder Shoumei later on.

"Joining the team is no issue, but let’s make things clear. If I feel that I am being treated unfairly, I reserve the right to leave at any time," Chu Feng replied very calmly. Joining this team was exactly what he wanted.

Because he didn’t even know where the Sword Tomb was and was completely ignorant of all the circumstances.

With these people leading, he could avoid a lot of trouble.

"Leaving is the basic right of each team member, naturally, there is no problem. However, as long as you are in the team, you must follow orders," the middle-aged man agreed to Chu Feng’s request with a serious face.

"Allow me to introduce myself, Liu Qiang, an Advanced Sword Master at the peak of his cultivation, who has comprehended the Fiery Flame Sword Technique to the Five Layers. I take the liberty to assume the role of this team’s captain!"

The middle-aged man emphasized his mastery of the sword technique, probably to intimidate Chu Feng and to establish his status within the team.

"The Fiery Flame Sword Technique is one of the many ordinary sword techniques of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect. When deployed, it is as violent and fierce as a raging flame, with massive destructive power."

A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Chu Feng’s mouth. Although he had only mastered the Glazed Sword Technique to the Fourth Level, it was much more advanced than the Fiery Flame Sword Technique. Although it wasn’t comparable to the top-level Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, it was on the same tier as the Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s Sect Suppressing Sword Technique and Ten Thousand Sword Technique.

If he were to clash with Liu Qiang, Chu Feng was absolutely confident that just by relying on the Glazed Sword Technique, he would remain undefeated.

And this was without using his Fake Sword Veins.

Otherwise, this so-called captain would not even withstand a single move against him. Definitely a pushover.

Chu Feng deliberately maintained a low profile and got to know the other team members one by one.

As he introduced himself to them, Chu Feng found that he had become a celebrity. They all knew him, yet he didn’t know them.

"Captain, those two from the Rashamon Sect have left!" That average-looking female disciple named Zi Yan whispered a reminder to Liu Qiang.

Chu Feng turned his head and saw two disciples from the Rashamon Sect heading towards the northern part of the town.

The north side of Qing Shan Town led to the Demon Suppression Mountain Range; those two must be heading into the Sword Tomb.

"We’ll wait a bit longer! To avoid bumping into those two murderous stars," Liu Qiang, who was so commanding in front of Chu Feng, appeared incredibly timid when facing those two experts from the Rashamon Sect.

"Why aren’t you all in a hurry now that the treasure swords in the Sword Tomb have been revealed for a while? Aren’t you afraid that the swords will be taken by others?" Chu Feng asked curiously.

"Heh heh, you’ve just come to the Demon Suppression Mountain Range and might not be aware of the situation. There is a great amount of black Demon Fog emerging from the Sword Tomb, and a number of Sword Saint-level old monsters are looking for ways to deal with it. Anyone who enters the Sword Tomb now is bound to die for sure."

"Everyone is watching and waiting. Once the Demon Fog clears, they will swarm in. For now, we’ll let others go and die first. It nicely reduces the number of competitors."

A youth who resembled a skinny monkey said with a strange laugh.

This person, named Li Guang, gave Chu Feng the impression of being rather cunning and shrewd.

"Could it be that the Unparalleled Demon, who was suppressed, has emerged?" Chu Feng couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim in shock. It had to be something capable of making Ou Tiangong sacrifice his life to forge a Supreme Treasure Sword, and combining the power of the great figures from the Ancient Times, using the Treasure Sword to suppress the Demon.

That Unparalleled Demon, its ferocity was absolutely sky-high.

If it really had come out, probably even a dozen Sword Saints wouldn’t be able to stop it.

"The Unparalleled Demon hasn’t emerged, but a large number of Bloodsucking Demon Bats flew out from the Sword Tomb. They are extremely fierce. Upon seeing someone, they will stealthily attack, and their speed is incomparably fast. A solo Advanced Sword Master, if they were to enter on their own, wouldn’t even know how they died."

Team leader Liu Qiang took up the conversation from there.

Chu Feng found that this Liu Qiang was very calculating, whether in his speech or actions, he was always seeking to consolidate his status as the leader.

A group of seven people, they walked within the Demon Suppression Mountain Range.

At the beginning of their entrance, there was no difference from an ordinary mountain. The trees were also quite sparse, and one could even see woodcutters chopping wood.

The reason why the trees around the perimeter weren’t dense was precisely because of the hard work of the woodcutters. Chopping down trees every day to sell, this led to the scarcity of trees around the edge.

Since most woodcutters were ordinary people, with limited strength, they didn’t dare venture deep into the Demon Suppression Mountain Range.

Even ants seek to steal a living; the woodcutters, being human, were even more averse to risk and death.

They toiled just to earn their keep, but there was no need to risk their lives for it. Deep in the mountains, there weren’t just fierce beasts, but there was also a chance of encountering malevolent and ferocious creatures.

Chu Feng and the rest tread upon the rugged mountain path with vigor, displaying strength far beyond that of ordinary people.

After all, they were Entry-level disciples of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, with cultivation at least at the level of an Intermediate Sword Master. Whereas ordinary people mostly had the strength of a Swordsman at Third Rank. The two were simply not in the same class.

Furthermore, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect could cultivate formidable sword techniques and had the guidance of Ming Masters, making them even more extraordinary.

Ahead on the mountainside was an old woodcutter around sixty years old, busily cutting wood.

He was putting his back into chopping down a large tree with a trunk as thick as his waist.

"Uncle, let me help you chop it!" Chu Feng flew over and said with a smile.

"Young man, this kind of tree isn’t easy to chop!" The old man stood up straight, planted his axe on the ground, and wiped the sweat from his face with his hand.

The old man had been chopping for half a day and had managed only a two-inch-deep cut.

It was unclear whether the tree was too dense and hard, or whether the old man simply lacked the strength.

Chu Feng had practiced the Slow Sword Technique of the Qiankun Sword Technique and had chopped countless bundles of firewood.

He was very confident in his swordsmanship and, out of kindness, upon seeing the pitiable state of the old woodcutter, immediately smiled and said, "Uncle, let me try! Please step back a bit!" He took the sword off his back, which turned out to be an unsharpened Dull Sword.

Moreover, it was forged from Mysterious Iron.

Of course, this could only be considered a fairly ordinary Treasure Sword. Basically, every disciple of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect could afford one.
