Chapter 1465: A Decisive Victory

Shock.

The elders and disciples in the Golden Blade Sect's grand hall were all wide-eyed with astonishment.

They had never imagined that the leader of a small sect would dare to barge in, and to make matters worse, he was so young!

Looking at Yi Feng, who appeared to be just over twenty years old, many elders exchanged surprised glances.

At such a young age, he had already established his own sect. Even if his talent couldn't compare to the descendants of the royal capital's prestigious families, he could still be considered a standout across the entire Blazing Fire Kingdom.

Such a rare talent was willing to settle in a small sect in the Yandang Mountains, which was quite perplexing. And now, he had the audacity to challenge the Golden Blade Sect. This was indeed outrageously arrogant!

The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned. Even the Golden Blade Sect's leader, Jin Weiyan, who sat high on his throne, had a flicker of gloom in his eyes.

After sizing up Yi Feng for a moment, Jin Weiyan finally sneered and spoke.

"So, you're the leader of the New Sword Sect?"

"I see you have some talent. I had initially intended to recruit you into my sect. Who would have thought you'd be so ungrateful? Do you know that when I am angered, the entire region trembles?"

"Even if you've reached the Tai Chu Realm, you're still too inexperienced. With just that level of strength, you think you can oppose my Golden Blade Sect? How naive!"

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared in Yi Feng's eyes.

"Who told you I'm only at the Tai Chu Realm?"

Only?

His words carried a hidden meaning. Could it be that this young man's cultivation far surpassed the Tai Chu Realm?

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall was thrown into turmoil!

Jin Weiyan's heart sank, and he glanced sideways at his chief disciple, Lu Fengchun, who stood quietly nearby.

Lu Fengchun immediately felt immense pressure and turned to angrily rebuke Yi Feng.

"You! Stop bluffing!"

"I've fought you before. You're just at the stage of spiritual energy materialization, with a cultivation level slightly higher than mine. Don't spout nonsense here!"

"If you truly had profound cultivation, you wouldn't be content to stay in a seventh-grade sect. When we fought before, I wouldn't have lasted more than a few moves before losing!"

"The only reason you have the confidence to establish a sect in the Yandang Mountains is because of that Grand Protector of yours. But recently, he hasn't been seen at the New Sword Sect. It's likely that you promised him great rewards to get his help. With just you alone, how dare you lead your people to challenge our sect today? Don't even think about leaving this hall alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile in Yi Feng's eyes deepened.

These people were truly ignorant, their vision so limited that it was pitiable. For a sixth-grade sect, this was all they amounted to.

With a slight sigh, Yi Feng casually struck out with his palm.

It seemed like an ordinary strike, but it unleashed a terrifying surge of spiritual energy, instantly sending Lu Fengchun flying several meters. He crashed through the side wall of the hall, blood gushing from his mouth, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn't get up.

With just a casual palm strike, Yi Feng had nearly killed the Golden Blade Sect's chief disciple right in front of Jin Weiyan!

The sheer power of his cultivation spoke for itself!

His domineering demeanor sent chills down everyone's spines!

At this moment, even a fool could see that Yi Feng's cultivation far surpassed the Tai Chu Realm. The bloody evidence was undeniable!

Jin Weiyan's pupils trembled, and his expression turned grim.

He stood up steadily, a dark smile appearing in his eyes.

"Hahaha..."

"Your cultivation is profound, and I must admit, I am no match for you. Truly, the younger generation surpasses the old."

"My foolish disciple lacked self-awareness and deserved his fate for being so blind. But my Golden Blade Sect is no ordinary sect. If you join us, with our connections and resources, we can surely help you reach even greater heights."

"From now on, you will be the vice-leader of the Golden Blade Sect. Together, we can rule over the dozens of sects in this region and share in the glory. How about it?"

His deep voice echoed through the hall. The Golden Blade Sect's elders were wide-eyed, seemingly shocked that their leader would make such an offer. Even Lu Fengchun, who was lying on the ground barely clinging to life, wore an expression of disbelief.

Only Yi Feng remained calm, his eyes showing no ripple of emotion.

The old man before him was indeed a ruthless character, and he clearly had a good sense of self-awareness. Realizing that he was no match for Yi Feng, he immediately switched to offering recruitment, even disregarding the fact that his disciple had just been severely injured.

In the face of absolute strength, everything else had to give way.

This was what people often said: the strong ruled.

This man clearly understood the way of survival, with a sharp eye and a ruthless heart that surpassed ordinary people. In the Yandang Mountains region, he could indeed be called a tyrant.

Unfortunately, his offer held no appeal for Yi Feng.

Yi Feng's ambitions had never been about climbing the ranks of sects or indulging in worldly riches and power. His original purpose in establishing a sect was to return to the Southern Li Kingdom to seek revenge, and even to destroy the shameless Snow Moon Holy Land!

In the face of such grand ambitions, the current offer of recruitment seemed utterly laughable, like a child offering candy in exchange for half a kingdom.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yi Feng unleashed fifty percent of his cultivation power, striking out with a powerful palm!

"Boom!"

A terrifying wave of spiritual energy surged forth, several times more powerful than before!

Everyone in the hall was thrown into chaos, and none of the Golden Blade Sect's elders could withstand even a single blow!

Jin Weiyan's pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed in horror, "Your cultivation is this powerful!?"

Seeing the palm strike closing in, about to inflict severe injuries, Jin Weiyan quickly pulled out a jade talisman from his storage ring, bit his tongue to draw a drop of blood essence, and sprayed it onto the talisman!

In the next moment, he transformed into a wisp of smoke and disappeared without a trace.

After the palm strike, the entire Golden Blade Sect's grand hall was on the verge of collapse. The hall was filled with the groans of those who had fallen, and the sect leader had fled, abandoning his sect. It was a crushing victory.

However, Yi Feng showed little joy. Instead, he stood quietly, his expression deep as he recalled the extraordinary talisman Jin Weiyan had used.

Only when the sounds of battle echoed from outside the hall did he snap out of his thoughts and channel his spiritual energy to shout, "From this day forward, the Golden Blade Sect is disbanded! Those who surrender will be spared, but those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

The Golden Blade Sect was already in ruins, and the elders had been thoroughly intimidated by Yi Feng.

As his words echoed, the elders and many disciples immediately knelt down, not daring to voice any objections. In the lawless region of the Yandang Mountains, everyone had long understood the rule of the strong.

The battle had been almost bloodless, ending in a decisive victory for the New Sword Sect.

The disciples who had followed Yi Feng were ecstatic, never expecting such an easy victory. When they opened the Golden Blade Sect's treasure vault and found chests filled with silver, money, and spiritual treasures, their excitement reached a fever pitch, and cheers of celebration filled the air.

"Long live the Sect Leader!"

"Long live the Sect Leader!"

After handling the affairs of the Golden Blade Sect, the disciples returned to their sect with Yi Feng, escorting the massive haul of treasures. The entire New Sword Sect was swept up in an unprecedented wave of joy and celebration.

The New Sword Sect was immersed in a level of excitement it had never experienced before.
