"You insolent wretch, how dare you be disrespectful to our master? Get over here and kneel to apologize!" Yan Qing had a fiery temper and was extremely loyal to Chu Feng.

Witnessing this deputy general’s disrespect towards Chu Feng, his anger had long been ignited.

"Yan Qing, forget it! Being looked down upon can also be a good thing. Let’s just prove ourselves, earn more battle merits, and not let the Liehuo Sect overshadow us." Before setting out this time, the Sect Master had high hopes for Chu Feng.

The Supreme Elders of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect were limited in number.

The Seven Star Cave within the sect also required the suppression of a Supreme Elder to prevent the Yin Yang Demon inside from breaking through.

Chu Feng possessed formidable combat strength.

Though the Sect Master didn’t say it explicitly, the true intent was likely to treat Chu Feng as a Supreme Sword God to be sent to the Ancestral Demon Sea Battlefield.

Even Elder Mu Cang and the others were merely acting as his assistants.

"Woo woo woo~!"

At this moment, a series of low horn sounds echoed from the fortress ahead.

"Dong dong dong!" Soon after, the war drums pounded fiercely, with shouts of battle filling the air.

"Enemy attack!"

"The troops of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom are attacking again. Prepare for battle!"

Soldiers, hearing the urgency of the military situation, were even adjusting their armor and equipment as they ran.

They rushed to the fortress, defending it with their lives.

Many experts from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect were experiencing this kind of battlefield tension and urgency for the first time. They appeared very tense.

"Everyone inside the pass, listen up! Open the gates immediately and kneel to surrender! Otherwise, when I break through this pass, I will ensure your blood flows like rivers and you are completely slaughtered." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Beyond the fortress, a middle-aged man in a Green Dragon Robe was seen riding a large eagle into the sky.

This person held a Heavenly Divine Weapon, his gaze cold and fierce. The divine weapon emanated a colorful divine glow extending a zhang in length. It only had one color, but it was enough to cause trepidation among the garrison inside.

Because this meant this person had a First Tribulation Supreme Sword God cultivation.

"The Ninth Imperial Uncle of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom!"

Chu Feng immediately recognized this person.

Last time, during the acquisition of the Money Tree in Hell Valley, this Ninth Imperial Uncle had participated.

However, at that time, Chu Feng didn’t yet have the strength to contend with a Supreme Sword God. After several years, seeing this person again, his state of mind had completely changed.

Before, he could only look up with awe and reverence.

Now, Chu Feng was absolutely confident he could slay this person.

Behind the Ninth Imperial Uncle, two more super strong individuals ascended into the air.

One appeared as an old crone, her hair white and face rooster-like, her body hunched.

This old crone wielded a Silver Snake Sword, her gaze icy and eerie, resembling a mythical wicked witch. She, too, was of First Tribulation Supreme Sword God cultivation.

The other appeared quite terrifying.

This was a middle-aged man riding a giant tiger. His body was short and stout, his belly and physique resembling a barrel.

His face bore thick short stubble, his gaze exceptionally fierce, and his appearance ruthless.

Especially his eyebrows, which jutted upwards malevolently. This person was of Second Tribulation Supreme Sword God cultivation.

The giant tiger he rode had fluffy white fur on its four legs, like stepping on four white clouds. It had wings on its back, flapping constantly.

This was not an ordinary demon tiger.

It belonged to the Primordial Species, the Cloud Stepping Flying Tiger.

Upon these two’s appearance, the garrison on the fortress wall seemed to be frightened and instinctively retreated.

"I am a First-class Divine General of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom, God General Fei Hu! Any Supreme Sword God among your garrison, come out and face death!"

Chu Feng was secretly shocked.

Such formidable individuals were truly terrifying. He could sense that this God General Fei Hu was definitely outstanding among the Second Tribulation Supreme Sword God in terms of combat strength.

"The stronger the enemies, the better. Otherwise, how can we showcase the strength of our Ten Thousand Sword Sect?" Chu Feng, newly arrived at the Ancestral Demon Sea Battlefield, was repeatedly underestimated. They didn’t even provide him with a single tent.

The garrison of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Kingdom must be made to suffer. At a critical moment, Chu Feng would then act.

By then, he could definitely hold his head high and make these shallow people look at him with new eyes.

"Stop boasting, I, Divine General Ling Feng, will fight you!"

On the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country’s side, only Divine General Ling Feng had the cultivation of a Second Tribulation Supreme Sword God.

Others didn’t dare challenge God General Fei Hu at all.

As for Supreme Elder Feng Zhenqing from the Liehuo Sect, he was hiding like a turtle, not daring to make a sound.

These generals treated him like an ancestor but were left disappointed.

In duels between armies, ordinary soldiers confront ordinary soldiers, generals face generals.

The real decision-maker in victory or defeat was still the top-tier strong individuals.

The rank of Divine General could, by themselves, slaughter thousands, tens of thousands. They had another important purpose.

Besides boosting morale, they could directly penetrate the fortress and open the gates.

"Chu Feng, should we proceed, or stay put?" Elder Mu Cang appeared to be leading, but he was fully aware that Chu Feng was the strongest among them.

For significant decisions, he naturally had to seek Chu Feng’s opinion first.

After being looked down upon by that deputy general, everyone probably harbored a simmering anger in their hearts.

"Didn’t they only give us eight ordinary barracks? This treatment is probably no different from the ordinary soldiers."

"An old saying goes, ’Do as much work as you eat.’ Let’s not rush to the battlefield. Use this time to recuperate and adjust our states to the peak. Once they can’t hold on any longer, we will take action. Elder Mu Cang, what do you think?"

Chu Feng said with a smile.

"Just what I intended!" Elder Mu Cang agreed with pleasure, having no objections. "Everyone, meditate here and wait for the right opportunity before taking action."

Thus, all four hundred experts of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect sat down and began to meditate.

Recovering the sword essence depleted from traveling.

Chu Feng treated his two wives and two subordinates very well. He gave each of them ten spirit stones to help them recover faster.

This generous act made other experts of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect quite envious.

But to be recruited by Chu Feng, one needed destiny and strength.

Yan Qing and Han Dong were both endowed with exceptional talent and formidable combat abilities.

They were considered to have outstanding potential.

That’s why Chu Feng accepted them as Sword Slaves.

While Chu Feng and others meditated in the rear camp, experts from the Liehuo Sect and troops from the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Kingdom were engaged in battle at the front line.

The tall and solid walls became the focus of the tussle.

This time, the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Kingdom came with a large force. They even brought two Divine Generals and a Ninth Imperial Uncle.

Such a strong lineup caused the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Kingdom’s side to suffer bitterly, with a gloomy atmosphere prevailing.

As time passed, ordinary soldiers managed to hold the fortress’s natural barrier steadfastly, which was no big problem. But in the sky, Divine General Ling Feng and others were already showing signs of defeat.

The experts from the Liehuo Sect were all injured.

Even Supreme Elder Feng Zhenqing was severely wounded by the joint attack of the Ninth Imperial Uncle and that Snake Witch Divine General, forcing him to retreat back inside the fortress.

If he hadn’t fled, he might have lost his life there.

Though the Snake Witch Divine General looked aged, her swordsmanship was exceptionally sly and vicious, like a venomous snake. Feng Zhenqing was wounded by her, piercing his vestment with one strike, getting stabbed in the abdomen.
