CHAPTER 355: CHAPTER 355 HEAVY CASUALTIES

If there really are enemies lying in ambush, then one must be cautious.

But who could it be?

Chu Feng is quite familiar with Han Dong’s abilities. Being the inheritor of the Shadowless Sword, he is essentially a shadowy assassin. Thus, he has a sharper sense of danger than ordinary people.

"Ten miles ahead is the Imperial City of Beixie; it certainly can’t be bandits!" Elder Shoumei said gravely.

If there are still bandits roaming near the Imperial City of Beixie, that would be a direct affront to the Northern Beixie Empire. Chu Feng couldn’t help but frown – could it be that they’ve stumbled upon some other ambush?

It’s also possible that the assassins ahead were preparing to ambush someone else.

They just happened to pass by here and, coupled with Han Dong’s abnormal perceptive abilities, they detected the ambush in advance.

"How about we take a detour?" Qin Keren ultimately is a girl, much more timid.

Facing such unknown danger, she was somewhat frightened.

If it’s possible to avoid it, that would be best.

"I’m afraid it’s no longer any use!" Elder Shoumei already had his treasure sword unsheathed, staring intently ahead.

"We’re only here to kill Chu Feng! All irrelevant people, scram!" Several figures leaped out from the sorghum fields on both sides.

Moreover, several others were directly performing Sword Flight, steadily landing on the official road.

Swish swish swish...

There were a full eight people capable of Sword Flight, implying that the opponents have eight Sword Saint Level experts. Such a lineup is truly frightening.

Sword Saint Level is not just any common folk; even within the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, they are esteemed as elders.

"I was wondering who it could be; turns out it’s people from the Shangguan family!" Chu Feng recognized Shangguan Yun at a glance.

The other few Sword Saints from the Shangguan family were also familiar faces.

These people calling out his name to kill him, that surely was telling. With Chu Feng’s intelligence, he immediately guessed that it must be Shangguan Bei’s doing behind the scenes.

"I suppose it was Shangguan Bei who sent you to kill me, right?" Chu Feng asked with a sneer.

"Less nonsense! Shangguan Bei is a once-in-a-millennium supreme genius of my Shangguan family, and also the inheritor of the Supreme Sword Skill of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect. He was promoted to a True Disciple just one year after joining the sect, destined for a limitless future, definitely capable of becoming the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect."

In Shangguan Yun’s words, there was pride and arrogance.

"Anyone who affects the interests of my Shangguan family must be eliminated! Thus, you must die!"

With a wave of his hand, Shangguan Yun, along with eight Sword Saints and over forty Great Sword Masters from the Shangguan family, encircled Chu Feng and his companions.

Grim arrows aimed at Chu Feng.

This time, to ensure Chu Feng’s demise, the Shangguan family truly brought out all their masters.

Eight Sword Saints, which must already be the top power of the Shangguan family! These Great Sword Masters, one by one, all possessed a stable and extraordinary aura.

"Does your Shangguan family really intend to kill me?" Chu Feng glared coldly at Shangguan Yun.

"You must die! Killing you is like slaughtering a dog!" Shangguan Yun was utterly confident. The Shangguan family putting forth all their power, even the protection of Elder Shoumei for Chu Feng would be futile.

Shangguan Yun alone was absolutely confident in defeating Elder Shoumei.

"I’ll give you ten breaths’ time, get lost immediately. My Shangguan family is here today to deal with Chu Feng," Shangguan Yun commanded coldly.

"Ten, nine..."

Another Sword Saint from the Shangguan family had already begun to count down. They held the absolute advantage, thus appearing exceedingly ruthless.

"You all go, don’t worry about me!"

Chu Feng shouted.

"My husband is in trouble, how could I ignore it..." Han Xiaoying and the others naturally refused to leave.

However, before she could finish her words, Chu Feng rudely interrupted her.

"Go, everyone go! Otherwise, I will kill myself right now!" Saying this, Chu Feng placed a sword against his own neck. Elder Shoumei and others did not understand why Chu Feng refused their help to fight the enemy together.

Although the situation is extremely dangerous, it is not yet a dead end.

If Elder Shoumei risks his life to stop the enemies, Chu Feng and others should have a chance to escape.

"Let’s go! Move to the side, we can collect Brother Chu’s corpse!" Han Dong winked at Elder Shoumei and others, and took the lead to walk away.

Li Shishi did the same.

Qin Keren, Han Xiaoying, and the others still hesitated. They would never agree to watch Chu Feng die helplessly.

But Chu Feng was coercing them with his death, and they dared not disobey.

They had no choice but to follow Han Dong out of the encirclement. However, they did not go far, instead they held their swords tightly and watched intently.

"Haha, boy, you are quite tough. Knowing that resisting is useless, hence you refuse to drag them down."

"If you commit suicide, this old man might consider leaving you an intact corpse!"

Shangguan Yun laughed wildly, along with several other Sword Saints, they pressed on step by step. Suddenly, Chu Feng smirked strangely, and the next second, produced a Fourth-grade Flame Burst Pill in his hand.

"Hehe, you wish to leave me an intact corpse, I am not so kind! Go to hell, all of you!"

Chu Feng timed it very precisely; only when the enemies were five or six meters away did he activate the Flame Burst Pill.

Boom!

After an earth-shattering noise, the site was a total mess.

The eight Sword Saints of the Shangguan family never dreamt that Chu Feng still had a Fourth-grade Flame Burst Pill and that he would strike so ruthlessly.

Instantly, five Sword Saints were sent to Western Heaven by Chu Feng’s Flame Burst Pill.

Without exception, all were blasted into a pile of mush.

They could only blame themselves for underestimating the opponent, not even activating their Sword Domain.

Chu Feng himself was also in the core area of the explosion. Logically, with his cultivation only at the Early Stage Great Sword Master level, he absolutely couldn’t withstand such a blast and would be utterly obliterated.

However, the reality was the complete opposite. He not only survived but was also unscathed.

Because the second before triggering the Flame Burst Pill, he had already activated a Fourth Grade Gold Rune Body Protection Pill in advance.

The Shangguan family, relying on having several Sword Saint Level masters, came pompously to kill him, simply seeking their own death.

Shangguan Yun’s clothes were blasted into tatters, but his cultivation was extremely strong, and he had quickly retreated the moment he sensed danger. So he did not die and only got injured.

The other two Sword Saints of the Shangguan family also survived.

However, it seemed like they were scared stiff; even though they fled far away, they were still trembling all over.

"Master, Xiao Ying, what are you standing there for? Act now, kill them all!" Chu Feng had already charged at the Great Sword Masters of the Shangguan family in no time.

Deploying the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill mercilessly reaping lives.

"It’s lamentable... My Shangguan family originally had an absolute advantage, but just in the blink of an eye, we suffered heavy casualties... I am the criminal of the Shangguan family!"

"Kill, at all costs, kill that boy!"

Shangguan Yun nearly gnashed his teeth as he roared. He himself also charged at Chu Feng with a sword.

"Come on, here’s another Fourth-grade Flame Burst Pill, guaranteeing that the remaining three Sword Saints of the Shangguan family will also go to hell!" Chu Feng reached into his robe, frightening Shangguan Yun and the others, who dared not approach him.
