I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1313: Prison Break

Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...

Yi Feng returned with a staggering pile of demon corpses, casually revealing he had slain them en route to fulfill a request. The group, including Guo Jiannan, reeled in shock upon recognizing the remains of ancient demons like the formidable Two-Faced Giant Demon, realizing Yi Feng's effortless power far surpassed their own. Overwhelmed by shame for their earlier presumptions, they bowed deeply in apology and gratitude, hailing him as a senior whose aid offered them rebirth. Yi Feng, bewildered by the reverence and disappointed in the demons' weakness, downplayed the feat but relented when they insisted on respect, proposing they address him as Brother Yi instead. The elders, awed by the honor, nervously agreed and paid their respects accordingly.

As Yi Feng reciprocated the bow, the elders brimmed with unease.

"Brother... Brother Yi, greetings..."

Following the exchange of polite greetings, their racing hearts struggled to settle. They could scarcely believe that they might one day call a mighty figure like Senior Yi their brother. Such a privilege was an extraordinary boon, unseen across multiple lifetimes.

Only after Yi Feng urged them to take seats did their minds begin to compose themselves.

Yi Feng now claimed the prestigious central position, a choice that mirrored everyone's desires and felt utterly fitting. Tree Venerable and Guo Jiannan flanked him on either side, their gazes brimming with awe and thrill.

A few sips of mild tea failed to dampen the fervor stirring within them.

Noticing the cluster of elders squirming like uneasy youths, Yi Feng felt a mix of amusement and mild frustration. He shifted the topic to lighten the mood.

"Everyone."

"With these demon remains in hand, you ought to recover your cultivation down the line. So, when do we depart from here?"

While gathering these followers brought satisfaction, Yi Feng still needed to pursue his bold ambition of courting danger. The Demon-Suppressing Prison posed no further risks, making prolonged stay pointless.

His words prompted grave looks across the faces.

After brief reflection, Guo Jiannan cupped his hands first and addressed him.

"Brother... Brother Yi."

"We've lingered in the Demon-Suppressing Prison for ages. Our life force and vitality have withered badly, and I'm afraid we can't reclaim our former strength. It's a disgrace, really. Breaking free from the Demon-Suppressing Prison will require Brother Yi's direct intervention."

Tree Venerable and the rest followed suit, clasping their fists with stern expressions.

"Only Brother Yi's effort could possibly shatter the Demon-Suppressing Prison!"

At that instant, how could they bring up the 'Godly Sword' title anymore? After beholding Yi Feng's fearsome power, thoughts of their past pretensions filled them with burning embarrassment.

Yet regarding the prison break, a hint of worry lingered; they avoided firm declarations, fearing shifts in fate that might tarnish Brother Yi's prestige.

As the most seasoned among them, Guo Jiannan pondered briefly before smiling at Yi Feng and voicing his thoughts.

"Brother Yi."

"Over countless years of testing the Demon-Suppressing Prison, we uncovered a vulnerability millennia back. The prison harbors a flaw, stemming from an imperfect setup during its creation. Likely, some Blizzard Island member slacked off, failing to uphold the prison diligently."

"Given Brother Yi's deep cultivation, applying your techniques there guarantees breaching the Demon-Suppressing Prison!"

His statement ignited confident sparks in their eyes.

Upon hearing this, Yi Feng rose promptly, gestured once, and led the way forward with the others.

Soon enough.

The group reached the edge of a somber lake. They lingered silently by the water, scrutinizing it at length. The distant lake's surface lay perfectly still, devoid of any spatial tears. It resembled an enclosed realm, flawless and impenetrable!

Suddenly, all eyes widened in astonishment, faces trading bewildered stares.

"This!"

"The spatial wall in front stands like an iron bastion, nothing like its previous state!"

"Something's off! I recall spatial chaos erupting from this spot before. It was undoubtedly the prison's weak spot!"

"Yet now, no imperfection shows. What can we do?!"

Guo Jiannan fixed his gaze for several beats, his face darkening.

"Looks like the prison's array has triggered. Across the ages, it mended that vulnerability."

These words brought waves of hopelessness to their gazes.

"Mended?"

"Does that imply the Demon-Suppressing Prison lacks any flaw now?!"

Such stark statements sank the assembly into profound gloom. Without further utterance, the heavy quiet nearly choked them. The fresh spark of hope snuffed out right before them—few torments rivaled this.

Guo Jiannan shut his eyes with a wry grin, murmuring a quiet lament to the heavens.

"In those days, to trap the demon race, this old one summoned numerous array masters to forge the Demon-Suppressing Prison, aiming for a forsaken domain cut off from existence. This setup proves its might, self-healing a flaw in mere thousands of years..."

"To suffer my own scheme like this. Now doomed to eternal confinement, I've even dragged you all into it!"

A sharp ache gripped their chests, leaving them rigid by the lake with downcast heads. Their last lifeline cut, it nearly crumbled the Dao hearts they'd guarded for myriad years.

Yet.

As Guo Jiannan turned sheepishly, ready to express regret to Yi Feng...

He saw Yi Feng advancing calmly, gripping his sword with steady hands, untouched by the others' despair. No energy leaked from him, but an oppressive force emanated, filling Guo Jiannan with profound terror!

That timeless blade in view chilled his core further, leaving countless words lodged in his throat.

Before Guo Jiannan could watch longer.

Yi Feng had arrived at the water's edge and swung his upright sword in a powerful chop!

"CRACK!"

A sharp boom akin to thunder, a sword glow tearing through sky and land!

The lake's waters split apart forcefully. The sword's beam sliced onward for thousands of li without halt. All in its way yielded. The spatial barrier across the lake exploded into fragments at once. Rays from the outer realm streamed in, while spiritual energy flowed steadily.

The Demon-Suppressing Prison stood cleaved asunder!

A single stroke rent the void, leaving all onlookers dumbfounded!
