I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1305: Worth a Try
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
" Our Frostwind Island upholds the Demon Suppression Prison as an exile ground. In order to protect worldly harmony, we cast out wicked cultivators and confine demonic beasts along with fiendish entities inside this domain. Entry is forbidden unless one holds the token from Frostwind Island's leader."
" Should any demon pass beyond this stele, future cultivators are bound to battle unto death for resealing it. This stands as the holy obligation of Frostwind Island, which cannot be defied!"
" Cavern of Ten Thousand Demons, stop before this stele!"
Having scanned the words carved on the stele, a spark of fury appeared in Yi Feng's gaze.
Damn...
This spot wasn't some treasure hoard after all, but a deadly trap for banishing all kinds of horrors. He'd been utterly duped!
That elderly lady was rotten to the core, fooling him into stepping into this infernal domain!
Besides his rage, as his eyes fell on the grave and impressive script, every line pulsing with sword essence, it seemed like boundless murderous aura lurked in the shadows ahead...
All at once, Yi Feng's eyes brightened.
" Eh?"" That old lady aimed to end me, so she lured me here. Isn't that ideal?"
" I have no clue why she wishes me harm, but dying in this spot would fulfill my suicide quest, right? It'd be like accidentally hitting the mark, actually a huge favor. Viewed this way, it might even count as a present..."
A burst of insight hit him, and Yi Feng's gaze sharpened with cleverness right away.
He cast several more looks at the scary warnings etched on the stele, feeling more delighted with each pass.
Gazing once more into the boundless gloom in front, Yi Feng abruptly sensed far greater comfort. A touch of eagerness showed in his eyes, and the location began to feel somewhat welcoming.
The small fiends he'd slain before were trivial, yet a site like this ought to harbor mighty beings.
From the chilling tales on the stele, this served as a hidden domain for locking away monsters from diverse clans. Unless the surviving beasts weren't overwhelmingly strong, maybe even invincible, there'd be no reason to create such a prison.
He didn't need to ponder much; tough opponents must lurk within for sure.
Maybe they could even pose a real threat to his existence!
This area deserved a shot. He might at last manage to meet his end.
Falling into a snare like this could offer the opportunity to achieve his goal?
It was truly a stroke of good fortune, far beyond mere chance. Heaven might have taken notice, intent on aiding his mission.
With these thoughts...
Yi Feng's mood soared immensely. Clutching his massive blade, he marched onward.
Once past the stele, the haze thickened dramatically, rivaling the pollution from his former life. The ominous vibe intensified, as though the air had chilled abruptly!
" Whoosh..."
A biting frost seeped through the perpetual murk, while a chilly, murmuring breeze gradually stirred.
He hadn't gone far.
Yi Feng found himself nearly swallowed by swirling dark vapors, treading solitary through perpetual night, where unseen perils might strike anytime.
The path ahead only darkened and cooled further.
After roughly a hundred steps.
Abruptly!
The dark vapors in front roiled and converged, releasing a soul-freezing chill. The haze even formed a horrifying skull face, which unleashed a eerie, hoarse cackle!
" Kekeke..."
" This great one is having a lucky day, running into a human cultivator—and one with such a fine appearance too! My endless vigil pays off at last!"
" That vibrant, tasty vitality, I'll take it with thanks!"
The dreadful chuckles resounded everywhere. Malicious power swirled in the infinite shadows, sufficient to instill hopelessness and raise chills on anyone!
Yet Yi Feng stayed utterly composed, displaying no fear of his looming fate.
He merely extended his arm and snatched at the dark fog.
" Whoosh!"
In one motion, a gaunt, shriveled creature was yanked free. It resembled a goblin, though starved to the bone.
Its mirth halted abruptly, its expression one of total bewilderment!
Suspended rigidly mid-air like a helpless fledgling for several seconds, it lingered in its earlier arrogant glee, struggling to grasp what happened. It was only upon locking eyes with the human cultivator and sensing the unyielding clamp of five digits on its throat...
That the creature snapped to and thrashed wildly!
But regardless of its efforts, it failed to escape the hold at its nape. It felt as though its essence was gripped, leaving it powerless to resist.
In a flash!
Cold perspiration drenched the emaciated beast, its eyes popping out!
" This!"
" Impossible!"
" You! What kind of being are you?! How can this great one be seized bare-handed by a simple human cultivator..."
The creature's tone weakened, laced with terror and astonishment.
Facing Yi Feng's serene stare, profound and godlike, it sensed its whole form crushed by an awful presence, no longer daring to move rashly...
