Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Impersonation Replacement

The newcomers totaled four in number, the leader being a beautiful woman clad in a silver steward’s robe, while the other three youths all wore the garb of advanced-level disciples.

All four of them had the cultivation of a Great Sword Master, and wore expressions of pride on their faces.

Being able to become an advanced-level disciple in a sect at such a young age, each of them was a heavenly pride with boundless pride in their hearts.

Chu Feng did not recognize these individuals but found the leading lady particularly beautiful.

She had the classic beauty of a melon-seed shaped face, her skin as white as snow, very pleasing to the eye. Han Dong and Li Guang, who had less self-control, were both staring at the beautiful woman leading the group.

Lin Yuan’s reaction was even more exaggerated; his bulging eyes were almost all whites and he was practically drooling—a spitting image of a pig gazing at food.

"Greetings to Senior Sister Ye!" Liu Qiang, with his extensive network, actually recognized this beautiful woman.

He approached, smiling respectfully, and greeted her.

Chu Feng simply glanced at the beautiful woman indifferently, unlike Li Guang and Han Dong’s unabashed gawking. His fiancee, Han Xiaoying, was the number one beauty of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, surpassing even this Senior Sister Ye in both looks and temperament.

His immunity to beauties was quite high as a result.

Senior Sister Ye’s beauty was on par with Fourth Senior Sister Qin Keren.

"Who killed this giant demon bat?" Senior Sister Ye scanned all the members of the small team. When her gaze passed over Chu Feng, she paused slightly, perhaps because his eyes were clear and not staring directly like the other men.

Finally, it landed on the face of team leader Liu Qiang.

Liu Qiang’s eyes shifted, sensing an opportunity, he hastened to say "It was a collective effort from our whole team! I exerted the most force!" His face was incredibly thick-skinned, as he shamelessly claimed Chu Feng’s credit for himself.

"You are the team leader?"

Senior Sister Ye did not notice Liu Qiang’s lie, and she regarded him with more significance in her gaze.

Being capable of killing such a formidable giant demon bat was enough to earn her respect.

One of the youths behind her squatted down in front of the giant bat demon to take a closer look, then nodded to Senior Sister Ye and said, "This giant bat demon is indeed the one that attacked us."

With those words, Senior Sister Ye’s look towards Liu Qiang immediately changed again.

She had personally experienced how fierce this giant bat demon was.

Despite the combined efforts of five people, not only did they fail to kill the giant bat demon, but they also lost one of their members. Unexpectedly, it was slain by just a few ordinary disciples.

"Liu here unfortunately is the leader of this small team!" Liu Qiang stood tall and with great pomp, and ordered Chu Feng and the others, "Aren’t you coming over to pay your respects to Sect Administrator Ye?"

Han Dong and the others immediately responded. Chu Feng, not wanting to draw too much attention, followed suit with a cupped-hands salute.

"Your regular courtesies are unnecessary!"

Senior Sister Ye was exceptionally aloof as her gaze fell on Liu Qiang, "On our way here, we encountered an attack by the giant bat demon and disciples from the Rashamon Sect, resulting in the loss of one of our members."

"Liu Qiang, since you are the strongest member of this team, you will fill the gap in my team and join the other four to form the Four Elements Sword Formation."

The disciples of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect cultivate swordsmanship, which are all of the same origin.

Thus, forming a sword array is also extremely straightforward.

The so-called Sword Array is about combining the power of multiple people to create a formation. It can exponentially increase combat power.

"I will strictly abide by Senior Sister Ye’s instruction!" Liu Qiang immediately showed a delighted smile, readily agreeing.

Being able to attach himself to a powerful person like Senior Sister Ye guaranteed safety. Moreover, there was a chance to perform well in front of her, earn her recognition, and perhaps even win her heart.

"According to reliable information, the Supreme Treasure Sword is about to emerge. We must hurry there immediately," Senior Sister Ye said somewhat anxiously.

She didn’t even glance at Chu Feng and the others, clearly intending to ditch them.

Only taking the strongest among them, Liu Qiang, to rush towards the Sword Tomb.

It’s estimated that if her team hadn’t lost a member, they would not have even been able to form the Four Elements Sword Formation. She probably wouldn’t have recruited an ordinary disciple into the team if not for that.

"Senior Sister Ye, please consider my thin face and take them with you!" Liu Qiang’s gaze swept over Han Dong and the others.

Han Dong had a close relationship with him, so he definitely couldn’t leave him behind.

As for He Ruoshui, that troublemaking sprite who threw herself at him, Liu Qiang was also reluctant to just give her up.

Moreover, Chu Feng was the true powerhouse of the team and had to be included as well.

As for the remaining three, it didn’t really matter whether they were included or not.

However, Liu Qiang was also worried that Lin Yuan and the others might undermine him by revealing how Chu Feng alone killed the Giant Bat Demon, so he took the opportunity to plead on behalf of the entire team.

Hoping that Senior Sister Ye would take everyone with her.

Senior Sister Ye frowned impatiently and glanced over Chu Feng and the others. She was very unwilling to take so many burdens with her.

If she didn’t take them, Liu Qiang probably wouldn’t agree.

"Sect Administrator Ye, although we’re just ordinary disciples, together we have considerable combat power. If you take us with you, perhaps at a critical moment, we can be of great help to you."

Li Guang said with a pleading face.

"Fine! You can follow, but if your speed is too slow, you can only fend for yourselves!" Senior Sister Ye reluctantly agreed.

The two teams combined, reaching a total of eleven people.

Senior Sister Ye, along with three Advanced Level Disciples and Liu Qiang, dashed ahead, while Chu Feng and the others followed closely behind.

The gap in cultivation soon became apparent.

Han Dong and the others gradually fell behind and started to lag.

With the assistance of the three Advanced Level Disciples, Liu Qiang was not too far behind. Plus, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Advanced Sword Master and was just a little short of breaking through to the Great Sword Master Realm.

"Gaga gaga... Pretty girl, where are you running to?"

"Come into brother’s embrace!"

Two young men wearing dark red robes leapt out from the woods ahead, blocking the way of Senior Sister Ye and the others.

Chu Feng, who arrived later, recognized these two Rashamon Sect disciples as old acquaintances.

They were the ones who mocked him at the tavern, calling him cannon fodder.

At the time, Lin Yuan and the others also ridiculed Chu Feng as a coward. But Chu Feng couldn’t be bothered to argue.

Because those two Rashamon Sect disciples were just mocking him, there was absolutely no need to expose his true strength just to show off.

Let others say what they would say. It didn’t matter to him.

When Senior Sister Ye saw these two blocking their path, her pretty face turned pale, with evident fear in her eyes.

"We have more than a dozen people, be smart and scram! Don’t look for trouble!" A young man behind Senior Sister Ye shouted threateningly.

"A bunch of incompetents, even if you doubled in number, it wouldn’t be enough for the two of us to kill," the two Rashamon Sect disciples said arrogantly, showing no regard whatsoever for the eleven disciples from the Ten Thousand Sword
