Chapter 314: Sword God?

Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Sword God?

"And you, young man, you’re also quite lucky," the old woodcutter looked at Han Dong, who was closely following Chu Feng. "Do you know why I say, everything is the will of heaven?"

"The owner of your sword was once a servant of the swordsmith Ou Tiangong. In his lifetime, he swore to make the inheritor of the Shadowless Sword follow the master of the Sky Demon Sword from generation to generation."

This statement from the old woodcutter sent both Chu Feng and Han Dong into a state of shock.

They had not expected that the Shadowless Sword had such a significant origin.

It seemed that the old woodcutter had already discerned the servant-master relationship between Chu Feng and Han Dong. This person was indeed formidable and also shrouded in mystery.

"Young man, now that you have inherited the Shadowless Sword, there is a word of advice that I must give you, and you must remember it well. This sword was born for slaughter, it is dark, bloodthirsty, like a blade in the night. You must not act recklessly and must listen to his commands," the old woodcutter warned, pointing at Chu Feng, whom he seemed to trust a great deal when it came to character.

From his words, it was clear that the Shadowless Sword was far from benevolent. Han Dong, the inheritor of the Shadowless Sword, might very well become Chu Feng’s dark left hand in the future, dealing with bloody and violent matters exclusively for Chu Feng.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, loud booming sounds erupted from the secret passage.

Following that, waves of screaming and frightened shouts were heard. Inside, it was probably like hell on earth, and those experts who were at the back most likely fell victim to the hands of the Ancient Demons.

"Those demons will be coming out soon, are you all ready?" the old woodcutter said to Chu Feng and the others.

In this old woodcutter, Chu Feng sensed that kind of human righteousness—a spirit of fearless sacrifice, ready to brave death for the benefit of mankind.

If it were any ordinary person, they would not foolishly confront the Ancient Demons head-on, but would instead choose to flee as far as possible and as quickly as possible.

To avoid being killed by the Ancient Demons.

As for the aftermath of the Ancient Demons coming out and slaughtering the innocent, well, that’s none of their business. "Better him than me," is the survival mantra of most people.

One after another, shadows flew out from the secret passage, each like a frightened bird, frantically escaping into the distance without any pause.

As for the old woodcutter, he was mostly ignored by many.

Because the situation was very critical, those Ancient Demons could kill their way out of the secret passage at any time.

After escaping from the secret passage, Prince Jianyun just gave Chu Feng and the old woodcutter a surprised glance before swiftly taking off.

Elder Yang and the experts of the Shangguan family were quite behind. Almost everyone had already come out before they finally rushed out of the secret passage.

Many of them were already injured.

The Shangguan family even had a Sword Saint who was directly torn apart by an Ancient Demon, losing a leg and bleeding profusely, already fainting from the pain.

Shangguan Yun, carrying the hopes of the Shangguan family—Shangguan Bei, had an extremely grim expression on his face.

Shangguan Bei probably had never seen such a terrifying scene in his life; he was scared pale and shaking all over.

These people, if they had not been self-righteous in doubting Chu Feng, wouldn’t have ended up in this dire situation.

One could only say that they brought it upon themselves.

The most tragic were the alliances formed by the Loose Cultivators and the experts of the smaller forces. Even the leader, Golden Beetle, was severely injured by the Ancient Demons, barely escaping with his life and fortunate to survive.

"Run, run for your life!"

"The Ancient Demons are coming out, run fast!"

One expert after another cried out for their lives, but only the old woodcutter stood still like a rock in the river center, letting the swift currents rush by him, yet remaining unshaken.

"Xiao Ying, what are you still doing standing there? Escape with your master!" Elder Zhuang urgently shouted.

The shout from the Blood Sect Master almost coincided with hers. The Blood Sect Master called out to Han Shuang.

She found her beloved disciple was now brazenly standing together with Chu Feng. This infuriated her beyond measure.

"Master, please calm your anger. We must help this old man and together slay the Ancient Demon!" When facing her master, Han Shuang was no longer timid and fearful, but instead displayed a hint of courage.

Where did this sliver of courage come from? Perhaps only the power of love could be so great.

It made her dare to oppose her master who, in her eyes, was akin to a Divine Soul.

Usually, whatever the Blood Sect Master asked her to do, she would do. She was not allowed to be intimately involved with any man, let alone to develop feelings for one, and she had always followed these teachings.

"This old man is just a woodcutter, why are you believing him? Come back to the Rashamon Sect with me immediately!"

The Blood Sect Master sized up the woodcutter with a pair of glances but failed to see anything extraordinary about the old woodcutter.

On the contrary, she was filled with contempt for the old woodcutter, believing that Han Shuang’s refusal to follow her back to the Rashamon Sect was an excuse to stay with Chu Feng.

"As a master, one should prioritize virtue and understand the principles. Otherwise, one will only lead disciples astray!" The old woodcutter spoke up.

His expression remained as ordinary and unremarkable as when Chu Feng first saw him.

"You old fool, dare to lecture Our Sect Master? Die!"

The word "die" had barely left her mouth when the Blood Sect Master’s eyebrows turned fierce, and she struck out harshly. A sword light as swift as thunder, vicious and ruthless, showed no mercy as it slashed towards the old woodcutter.

The people of Rashamon Sect were known to kill without batting an eye.

Sometimes, they would bring disaster upon themselves without having done anything to provoke them. Now that the old woodcutter had publicly reprimanded the Blood Sect Master, he had instantly enraged her.

"Hmm?"

The old woodcutter’s long grey eyebrows lifted as he opened his eyes, revealing a terrifyingly sharp glint.

Without any noticeable preparation, he casually slashed with the black sword in his hand.

Boom!

A fierce sword light burst forth with the slash, plain and simple like the old woodcutter himself, devoid of any flashiness or dazzling brilliance.

As a result, the sword light that the old woodcutter had unleashed not only broke the Blood Sect Master’s Sword Domain but also forced her to retreat again and again, with blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

"Hiss~!"

Everyone couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

It was well known that the Blood Sect Master’s strengths were even slightly superior to Shangguan Yun’s. Yet, she was easily wounded by a single slash from the old woodcutter. How formidable was he?

"Considering you’re a woman, I won’t kill you. Get lost!"

The old woodcutter’s angry shout was like the roar of Heavenly Thunder, scaring the Blood Sect Master so much that she didn’t dare say another word and fled in an utterly disgraceful manner.

Even her beloved disciple was left behind.

However, after she had fled a certain distance, her voice still carried over: "Han Shuang, after you’ve slain the Ancient Demon, return to the Sect immediately!"

"I shall follow the Master’s orders!" This time, Han Shuang did not resist.

She had caused the Blood Sect Master to lose face. If she defied the Blood Sect Master’s orders again, she might be directly expelled from the Rashamon Sect.

Elder Zhuang, witnessing the formidable power of the old woodcutter, was initially preparing to order Han Xiaoying to immediately return to the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, but he stifled his words and swallowed them back down.

"Xiao Ying, take care of yourself. Remember, act according to your capabilities and don’t push yourself too hard. Your master will wait for you at the Ten Thousand Sword Sect!" After saying this, Elder Zhuang also flew away with Sword Control.
