Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Entering the Sword Tomb

"Xiao Ying, you go ahead! I can take care of myself! Trust me!" Chu Feng showed a confident smile to his lovely wife.

Elder Zhuang did not entertain any objections and lifted one in each hand, carrying Han Xiaoying and Lu’er, flying towards the Sword Tomb.

Her attitude towards Chu Feng was still somewhat cold. She probably didn’t want her beloved disciple to marry Chu Feng, a waste who didn’t even have sword meridians.

"Husband, be extremely careful!" Han Xiaoying looked back with tender affection in her eyes as she gazed at Chu Feng.

"Don’t worry!" Chu Feng waved at her.

As soon as Han Xiaoying left, Zang Jianfeng and Prince Jianyun naturally would not continue to drag along Chu Feng, the ’deadweight’. In fact, killing intent once again flashed in Prince Jianyun’s eyes, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword as he stared at Chu Feng.

"This time, let’s see who can protect you?" Prince Jianyun said viciously.

"Want to kill me? Maybe in your next life!"

Chu Feng was quick on his feet, swiftly escaping backwards, not giving Prince Jianyun a chance to strike.

Zang Jianfeng, prideful of his own status, did not make a move.

"Hmph, you may escape temporarily, but not for a lifetime. Once inside the Sword Tomb, I’ll kill you then, you crawling insect!" Prince Jianyun did not give chase, because the Sword Tomb was already open, and many masters had already entered.

If he went in late, the Treasure Sword could possibly end up in someone else’s hands.

In his opinion, slaying Chu Feng would just be a matter of lifting a hand, and there would be plenty of chances. If Prince Jianyun knew Chu Feng’s true strength, he probably wouldn’t be so composed.

Watching Prince Jianyun, along with a large entourage of escorts and Sword Slaves, disappear into the depths of the valley with Zang Jianfeng.

Only then did Chu Feng return.

However, he found that Senior Sister Ye had already left with the three Advanced Level Disciples, abandoning him.

Both Lin Yuan and Li Guang had also left.

Lin Yuan bore grudges against Chu Feng and probably feared retaliation from him. Moreover, with Prince Jianyun wanting Chu Feng dead, they worried about being implicated as well.

Leaving Chu Feng behind, in their view, was the wisest choice.

"Zi Yan, if you have other plans, you can act alone. There’s no benefit in following me," Chu Feng guessed that Zi Yan had not left because of loyalty.

She was different from others: obstinate, kind-hearted, and highly loyal to friends. She just appeared cold on the surface and was not much for words.

"Then take care of yourself! I’m leaving!" Zi Yan nodded to Chu Feng and swiftly flew away.

Chu Feng always felt that Zi Yan was not as simple as she appeared on the surface.

Actually, any disciple of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect was not simple at all.

They were the Heavenly Prides who had stood out amongst countless geniuses.

"Liu Qiang, what about you?" In the blink of an eye, Chu Feng’s small team was down to just three people.

"I am willing to follow the leader with absolute loyalty!" Liu Qiang said with a sycophantic smile on his face.

"Hmph, cut the act and spare me the so-called loyalty. You just want to enter the Demon Suppression Tower with Han Dong," Chu Feng said coldly, mercilessly exposing Liu Qiang’s pretense.

"Let’s go! Han Dong, lead the way!"

Chu Feng looked at the masters rushing to enter the Sword Tomb, feeling a twinge in his heart.

Many of these people entered the Sword Tomb blindly, with virtually no preparation.

In the end, the likelihood of them acquiring the Treasure Sword was very small, and they might very well lose their lives inside.

...

Han Dong had a map passed down from his ancestors, and he led the way at the front.

By the time Chu Feng and his two companions finally arrived at the entrance to the Sword Tomb, Chu Feng couldn’t help but silently marvel at the construction capabilities of the ancient maestros, truly a work of supernatural skill. At the deepest part of the valley, there lay a colossal tomb.

Above it stood a towering stone stele, a hundred meters high, not in the least inferior to the Sect Stele of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

"Sword Tomb!"

These two characters were etched on the stele, with a row of eye-catching smaller characters below, warning posterity.

"Dangerous beings within, do not enter!"

Regrettably, this warning was treated like thin air by later generations.

The entrance was clearly forcibly opened by those who came later using swords and chisels, leaving a hole about a zhang square in size that leads directly to the interior of the Sword Tomb.

At this moment, there was still a grey Demon Fog shrouding the inside of the tomb, but overall, it was bearable and quite thin.

"This Demon Fog is poisonous and can infiltrate the body undetected, demonizing the bodies of all people."

As soon as Chu Feng entered the Sword Tomb, he immediately noticed something was off with the grey fog.

Even his Detoxification Pills would have difficulty resisting the invasion of this Demon Fog. Of course, if he didn’t stay for too long, the impact wouldn’t be significant.

If one stayed for too long, it might lead to demonization, like the trees and flowers in the Demon Suppression Mountain Range.

Fortunately, the beasts within the Demon Suppression Mountain Range are mobile, and their lifespans are limited, so there hasn’t been any incident of demonization.

At least Chu Feng hadn’t encountered any so far.

If the beasts within the Demon Suppression Mountain Range were also demonized like those blood-sucking bat demons, turning into ferocious creatures, that would be truly terrifying.

Those of Sword Saint Level or similar might have the ability to withstand these Demon Fogs. They only need to unfold their Sword Domain to prevent the Demon Fog from invading.

As for ordinary experts, even Late-stage Great Sword Masters would find it difficult to fend off this Demon Fog.

There are exceptions, of course, like Chu Feng. He might be just an Advanced Sword Master in terms of cultivation, but he has Abnormal Fire.

The moment the Demon Fog infiltrated his body, it was immediately incinerated by the Abnormal Fire.

Let alone a fog of this level, even if it were ten times or a hundred times more potent, it still wouldn’t pose a problem for Chu Feng. Both fire and thunder are natural nemesis of all evil beings.

Chu Feng and his companions could be considered among the last batch of people to enter the Sword Tomb.

Contrary to his expectations, the interior of the Sword Tomb actually contained room after room of burial chambers, with exceptionally large spaces within.

Even the smaller burial chambers were over two hundred square meters in area with heights around ten meters or so.

The floors of the chambers were covered with layers of white bones, many of which had decayed, forming a thick layer. Over countless years, innumerable experts have met their demise here.

Besides the bones, there were also many Treasure Swords.

Bronze swords, iron swords, fine steel Treasure Swords... All kinds and shapes were present. Many were rusty and almost all were damaged and unusable.

If there were any decent swords, they would have been picked up by people who arrived earlier.

And this was just the outermost chambers; the further in one went, the more advanced the buried Treasure Swords.

Chu Feng felt that the interior of the Sword Tomb was like a labyrinth. Endless chambers interconnected with each other.

"I always feel there is something extremely dangerous lurking inside, as if some peerless ferocious creature is watching me!" Liu Qiang expressed extreme unease, vigilantly observing his surroundings.

"It’s still not too late for you to back out now!" Chu Feng replied indifferently.

"A man dies for wealth, just as a bird dies for food. Even if it costs me my life, I am willing to take the risk. If I miss this chance, even if I survive, I will regret it for the rest of my life," Liu Qiang’s words somewhat impressed Chu Feng.

Sometimes, one really shouldn’t underestimate anyone.

Everyone has something worthy of appreciation and learning.
