Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 457 - 455: "Fire Proud Sun" Yang Wanyi

Luo Feng stood motionless, appearing as though he was frozen in fear by the terrifying Saber Intent.

Upon seeing this, a sinister grin spread across Blood Cloud’s lips. The Saber Intent of the Blood Burning Saber Technique could suppress a person’s spirit. He guessed Luo Feng must have been scared out of his wits by the Saber Intent.

At this moment, however, an unforeseen change occurred!

The instant the flame-infused Saber Qi was about to strike him, Luo Feng’s gaze suddenly became incredibly sharp, resembling two dazzling sabers, piercing to the very soul.

"Slash!"

The next moment, a breathtaking saber light materialized from thin air and slashed fiercely into the fiery cloud. A terrifying impact erupted, and a cold gleam suddenly shot out from within.

SQUELCH!

Blood Cloud had no time to react at all. He watched helplessly as his arm was severed, blood splattering more than a meter away.

"Ah!"

With a piercing scream, Blood Cloud’s body was hurled through the air by the immense power contained within the saber light. He crashed heavily onto the ground, violently spewing out another mouthful of blood.

Luo Feng walked towards the fallen Blood Cloud.

Blood Cloud looked at Luo Feng, his face filled with horror and disbelief.

He had considered the possibility of defeat, but being so severely injured by a single strike was difficult for him to accept. He finally understood that he was no match for the youth before him.

"Luo Feng, you can’t kill me!"

Enduring the excruciating pain from his severed arm, Blood Cloud shouted at Luo Feng.

Stopping about three steps from Blood Cloud, Luo Feng coldly asked, "Why not?"

"Lord Blood Saber Demon General already knows your whereabouts. He will definitely send more people to hunt you down. By then, ten lives wouldn’t be enough for you. If you spare my life, I can at least help you stay alive when that time comes!" Blood Cloud hastily replied.

Hearing this, Luo Feng smiled disdainfully. "Are you a fool, or do you take me for one? A man with a crippled right arm—do you think you hold any value in the eyes of the Blood Saber Demon General?"

Blood Cloud’s expression stiffened; he hadn’t expected Luo Feng, at such a young age, to grasp the situation so thoroughly. He knew his death today was inevitable. At this moment, a venomous glint flashed in his eyes, and he flung out a streak of blood-red light.

"Even if I die, I’ll take you with me!"

WHOOSH!

The blood-red light was a token that flew extremely fast. The instant it shot out, it arrived before Luo Feng, its surface flickering with fiery light and containing Gang Qi.

Luo Feng snorted and accurately slashed the token with his saber.

BANG!

The token split in two, bursting into an ominous blood-red glow.

"Die!"

After shattering the token, killing intent flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes, and he unleashed another saber strike at Blood Cloud.

Blood Cloud showed no fear; instead, a malicious grin tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Luo Feng, you’re done for, you—!"

A flash of saber light, SQUELCH! The rest of Blood Cloud’s words were forever sealed in his throat. His body was split in two, and the gushing blood dyed a large patch of grass red.

Looking at Blood Cloud’s corpse on the ground, Luo Feng’s brows furrowed. Blood Cloud’s final words had unsettled him.

It felt as if he was being targeted by something.

His ears twitched. The sound of approaching horse hooves grew louder, interrupting Luo Feng’s thoughts.

"It must have been my imagination."

Shaking his head, Luo Feng dismissed his wild thoughts. He stamped his foot hard on the ground, causing a huge crack to appear. The crack swallowed Blood Cloud’s corpse and all the bloodstains.

He exhaled and turned just in time to see Bing Ruolan riding towards him at full speed.

WHOOSH!

The black-maned horse was incredibly fast, reaching Luo Feng in just a few breaths. Bing Ruolan dismounted and looked at the crisscrossing saber marks on the ground, her clear eyes revealing her anxiety. "Luo Feng, what happened? I thought I heard fighting."

Luo Feng patted the Rage Flame Knife, a smile on his face. "I was just bored and practicing some Saber Techniques."

Bing Ruolan didn’t doubt his words and sighed in relief. A flicker of excitement appeared in her clear eyes as she said, "Luo Feng, the buildings in Blood Origin City are all made of Blood Flame Stone! Even the streets are red, like the evening glow. It’s so beautiful."

As she spoke, the smile on Bing Ruolan’s pretty face slowly faded. Her delicate eyebrows knitted slightly, and she said with disappointment, "It’s a pity you couldn’t go."

Luo Feng laughed. "We’ll have plenty of chances in the future. We can come again next time."

"Okay."

Bing Ruolan nodded, a playful smile spreading across her face.

As if remembering something, Bing Ruolan blinked and suddenly held out a paper-wrapped package to Luo Feng. "This is Snowfield Pig tusk meat. I heard it’s a specialty of Blood Origin City. Try some."

Luo Feng had heard of the Snowfield Pig. It was a first-rank Demon Beast that lived in the Blood Roar Plains. It was very weak but extraordinarily fast. The pig’s tusk was a premium ingredient and very expensive.

"Let me try."

Luo Feng unwrapped the paper package. The meat inside was milky white, and a delicate, fragrant aroma wafted towards him.

"How does it taste?" Bing Ruolan asked.

Luo Feng nodded and smiled. "It’s crispy, fragrant, soft, and tastes very good."

"That’s good."

Bing Ruolan patted her chest and stuck out her tongue playfully. Her eyes curved into a smile, as fresh and captivating as a blooming lotus.

Luo Feng rewrapped the Snowfield Pig tusk meat and said, "Ruolan, we should continue our journey."

"Now?"

Bing Ruolan was surprised. They hadn’t rested at all since morning.

Luo Feng nodded. "I want to hurry back to Qingfeng Town."

Luo Feng speculated that since their location had been exposed, the Blood Saber Demon General probably wouldn’t send only one person to kill him. More experts were surely on their way. He had to leave as quickly as possible, at least to prevent Bing Ruolan from being involved.

Bing Ruolan thought Luo Feng was worried about his friend who was afflicted with the Blood Yin Poison. She nodded. "Okay."

The two of them mounted their horses and rode off at maximum speed, disappearing over the horizon in the blink of an eye.

「A day after Luo Feng and Bing Ruolan departed」

Three figures flew from the direction of Green Wood Peak. The one in the lead, enveloped in a blood-red aura, moved at an incredible speed, leaving a massive cyan qi wave in his wake; his presence was imposing.

BOOM!

The cyan light circled the area where Luo Feng and Blood Cloud had fought before suddenly landing, shaking the ground and causing several large fissures to appear. A tall figure emerged from within.

This man was in his thirties, with large bones and an ugly appearance. His eyes glinted with a venomous light. As he stood there, the air around him seemed to freeze, and he exuded an unbelievably strong aura.

BANG! BANG!

Two more thuds sounded as two other figures caught up, stopping beside the hideous man.

"Team Leader Xuekui, why did you stop the pursuit?" one of them asked respectfully, looking at the ugly man.

The ugly man’s grim gaze swept over the saber marks on the ground, his expression gradually darkening. "The clues left by Team Leader Blood Cloud end here."

"What!"

The other two looked shocked. One of them said in a deep voice, "Could he have been discovered?"

The ugly man nodded, pointing at the saber marks on the ground. "These saber marks must have been left when they fought."

"Does that mean Team Leader Blood Cloud killed Luo Feng?" one of them immediately asked excitedly.

The ugly man shook his head, his gaze fixed on the saber marks, a flash of killing intent in his eyes. "I fear the opposite occurred. Judging from these signs of struggle, Blood Cloud was likely on the losing end. He has likely met an unfortunate end!"

Upon hearing this, the other two’s faces stiffened; neither of them questioned the ugly man’s words.

Although all three were Team Leaders of the Blood Saber Guards, the ugly man, Xuekui, ranked second in strength among the ten Team Leaders and was an expert of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. Even if the other two teamed up, they probably couldn’t withstand three of his moves.

"Team Leader Xuekui, what should we do now? That Luo Feng killed Xuejiu, and now possibly Blood Cloud. We absolutely cannot let him get away!" The tallest Blood Saber Guard Team Leader’s eyes blazed with intense killing intent as he gritted his teeth and said.

"But Blood Cloud’s whereabouts are unknown, and we’ve also lost Luo Feng’s trail," the other one said, shaking his head.

"Then let’s go straight to Purple Spirit Peak and wipe out the Purple Sun School!"

"Absolutely not! We sneaked into the Hundred Countries Territory this time; we can’t afford to be too conspicuous. Besides, the Purple Sun School also has powerful experts. With just the three of us, going there would be suicide."

The two argued heatedly.

The ugly man was about to stop them when he suddenly sniffed the air forcefully.

WHOOSH!

His gaze flickered. He shot through the air, instantly appearing ten steps away. His entire body shimmered with cyan light as he stomped his foot on the ground.

RUMBLE!

Amidst the loud noise, as if a great star had fallen, the surrounding ground trembled violently, and a corpse flew out from a fissure.

"Team Leader Blood Cloud!"

The two men who had been arguing stared, shocked at the corpse on the ground.

The burly man remained silent, looking at Blood Cloud’s bisected corpse, his brow deeply furrowed.

From the state of the body, Blood Cloud was killed in an instant, without even a chance to resist. The opponent’s Saber Technique is very strong!

"Hmm?"

The burly man noticed Blood Cloud’s right hand twitching slightly. He waved his hand, flinging Blood Cloud’s right hand aside, revealing a blood-red token.

The token, a vibrant blood-red, lay on the ground, still twitching as if it were alive.

If Luo Feng were here, he would undoubtedly be astonished to find that this token was identical to the one he had shattered!

"The Yin Yang Blood Seal Order!"

The eyes of the other two Blood Saber Guard Team Leaders fell upon the token.

One of them picked it up and said with furrowed brows, "Strange, why is only one half of the Yin Yang Blood Seal Order here?"

A sharp glint flashed in the burly man’s eyes, and he suddenly let out a strange, cackling laugh. "Blood Cloud, rest assured, I will personally avenge you! Let’s go, we’re going to hunt down that brat."

The other two were taken aback. "Team Leader Xuekui, you know Luo Feng’s whereabouts?"

"I don’t, but it does."

The burly man pointed to the Yin Yang Blood Seal Order. "Look, which direction is the token twitching towards?"

They observed carefully; the token was indeed continuously twitching in one direction—southeast!

"That’s the direction of the Purple Sun School! Could it be..."

The burly man nodded, his smile growing colder. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"The Yin Yang Blood Seal Order always comes in a pair. Once separated, no matter how far apart, they will attract each other. Blood Cloud must have thrown one half of the token at Luo Feng in his final moments. Luo Feng destroyed that half, but its aura must have clung to him. Therefore, as long as we follow the direction this half-token moves, we’ll definitely find Luo Feng!"

"So that’s it! Team Leader Xuekui, your insight is brilliant!"

The two of them brightened up and flattered him.

"Let’s go! This time, we must bring back that brat’s head!"

At the burly man’s command, the three of them shot up and sped away, quickly vanishing over the horizon.

WHOOSH!

Just as their figures disappeared, a red light descended from the sky above, parting the clouds.

SWISH!

The red light landed precisely where the burly man and his companions had just been. It then dispersed, revealing a slender figure.

The woman had exquisite features, black hair like a waterfall, and a fiery red dress that perfectly accentuated her stunningly captivating figure. Every inch of her skin seemed to radiate an endless charm. It was indeed Yang Wanyi, who had rushed over from Dayang City.
