Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 460 - 458: Mu Yuan Spirit Fruit

"I didn’t expect to find it here." Luo Feng looked at the Mu Yuan Spirit Fruit, his face beaming with surprise. He had initially just heard some commotion and came to see what was happening. He never thought he would stumble upon such a delightful surprise.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...

At that moment, hundreds of meters ahead in the forest, the Green-eyed Demon Wolf and the Unihorn Golden Bull clashed, causing a deafening blast as the surrounding giant trees exploded one after another.

Looking at the two ferociously fighting Demon Beasts, Luo Feng frowned slightly. These two Demon Beasts must be fighting over the Mu Yuan Spirit Fruit.

The disturbance created by their battle was immense. If the Mu Yuan Spirit Fruit was damaged, it would be a complete loss. Luo Feng thus decided to intervene, planning to send these two Demon Beasts to their deaths.

Two Fourth-Level Demon Beasts, perfect for testing my strength.

Luo Feng’s eyes flashed. No longer concealing his presence, he began to approach.

AWOOOO!

In the forest, a terrifying howl echoed. The Green-eyed Demon Wolf let out waves of transparent ripples from its mouth, causing the trees in their path to explode.

Bellowing loudly, the Demon Wolf lunged at the Unihorn Golden Bull.

However, the Unihorn Golden Bull did not back down. Murderous intent flared within its golden eyes as it stomped the ground, rattling the earth, and charged at the Green-eyed Demon Wolf.

Luo Feng stood just a hundred steps away from the battling Demon Beasts, watching these mighty creatures fight fiercely. A bitter smile touched his lips as he realized they were completely ignoring him.

Could it be... do I appear that weak?

Luo Feng smirked, shaking his head slightly, and locked his gaze ahead.

SWOOSH!

He brandished his Rage Flame Knife in the air, unleashing a tremendous saber light that targeted both Demon Beasts.

BOOM!

The saber light fiercely struck both Demon Beasts, making the earth tremble. The colossal bodies of the creatures flew into the air and crashed through a dozen ancient trees.

ROAR!

The Green-eyed Demon Wolf and the Unihorn Golden Bull struggled to rise, their icy gazes fixated on Luo Feng. Their Demon Qi filled the air, stirring up a fearsome whirlwind in the forest.

They had noticed Luo Feng’s presence all along but hadn’t taken him seriously. They were astonished that this seemingly insignificant human had attacked them!

AWOO!

The Green-eyed Demon Wolf’s fur bristled, and it growled low from deep within its throat. Its massive claw swiped through the air.

A burst of azure light formed a house-sized azure whirlwind that shot straight for Luo Feng.

WHOOSH!

Luo Feng didn’t strike back. He darted backward a hundred steps, dodging the Green-eyed Demon Wolf’s attack.

The Green-eyed Demon Wolf furiously stomped its paws, transforming into a streak of azure light as it lunged forward, snapping the massive trees in its path.

Remaining motionless, Luo Feng wore a cold smirk. He had held off earlier to avoid damaging the Mu Yuan Spirit Fruit. Seeing the Demon Wolf continuing to approach, he decided not to hold back anymore.

"Strike!"

With an intense Saber Intent, Luo Feng’s Rage Flame Knife generated resounding sonic booms as the blade struck the Green-eyed Demon Wolf.

SPLAT!

The Demon Wolf yelped in despair. Its large body was sent flying backward, a foot-long gash on its back from which blood gushed.

Without launching another attack, the Green-eyed Demon Wolf sank low, its azure eyes warily watching Luo Feng. Instinctively, it realized that the human before it posed a greater risk than even the Unihorn Golden Bull. A single lapse in attention could result in its death at his hands.

ROAR!

The Green-eyed Demon Wolf turned its head and roared towards the Unihorn Golden Bull a few times.

After a moment, the Unihorn Golden Bull snorted hot air from its nostrils, shifted its hooves, and stood beside the Green-eyed Demon Wolf.

Are they preparing to team up?

Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, a cold smile playing on his lips. He wasn’t surprised by this; peak Fourth-Level Demon Beasts already possessed a certain degree of intelligence.

ROAR!

The Green-eyed Demon Wolf let out a low growl, making the first move by exhaling an azure whirlwind.

The fierce azure whirlwind instantly swelled in the wind. In the blink of an eye, it grew to the size of a house. As it swept through, it broke massive trees, sending dust and debris flying, and charged at Luo Feng with a heaven-shaking force.

RUMBLE!

At the same time, the Unihorn Golden Bull also launched its attack. Its forehooves stomped on the ground, and its body glowed with golden light as it dashed at Luo Feng.

Facing the two peak Fourth-Level Demon Beasts, Luo Feng stood his ground, his fighting spirit burning stronger than ever.

Ever since reaching the peak of the Ninth Level of the Heavenly Court Realm, I haven’t had a chance to fight with all my strength. This is a perfect opportunity to test how strong I’ve become.

"Skyfall Thunder!"

With a step forward, Luo Feng unleashed a slash of his knife.

SHII!

The massive saber light instantly erupted and split the terrifying azure whirlwind in two. The remaining third of the saber light brutally slashed the Unihorn Golden Bull.

A sickening squelch rang out as the golden horn on the Unihorn Golden Bull’s forehead was severed completely at the root. A huge gash was left on its belly, and its body uncontrollably slid dozens of meters across the ground, violently crashing into the Green-eyed Demon Wolf behind it before finally coming to a stop.

The two Demon Beasts staggered to their feet. Their eyes filled with dread as they gazed upon Luo Feng.

The human before them appeared youthful, but his strength was unimaginably powerful. Both felt a tremendous threat, their eyes revealing a desire to retreat.

"You’ll stay here! Great Wilderness Flame Explosion!"

Luo Feng gave the two Demon Beasts no chance to hesitate. His Yuan Qi boiled throughout his body, and a brilliant flame erupted from his left fist as he suddenly punched the ground.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

The ground suddenly began to shake violently, as if something was about to burst forth from the earth.

Rings of crimson energy spread out like waves in all directions, surging at lightning speed towards the Green-eyed Demon Wolf and the Unihorn Golden Bull.

The next moment, the ground beneath the two Demon Beasts suddenly exploded. A pillar of scorching fire, twenty feet in diameter, erupted from below, reaching for the sky and enveloping them.

ROAR!

A piercing roar resounded as the two terrifying peak Fourth-Level Demon Beasts were flung into the sky, then crashed down heavily like punctured sacks, creating two large pits in the ground.

At this moment, the two Demon Beasts’ bodies were charred, with blood flowing from their seven orifices. They were already dead.

I didn’t expect the third level of the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist to be this powerful.

Luo Feng walked over, looking at the corpses of the two peak Fourth-Level Demon Beasts, his gaze flickering slightly.

The third level, ’Great Wilderness Flame Explosion,’ of the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist had just displayed the overbearing nature of this technique. With one punch, it swept across all directions. The instantaneous destructive power it unleashed could only be described as astounding.

SWISH! SWISH!

With continuous swings of his Rage Flame Knife, Luo Feng cut open the bodies of the Green-eyed Demon Wolf and the Unihorn Golden Bull. Inside each, there was a Demon Core the size of a chicken egg.

A peak Fourth-Level Demon Beast’s Demon Core was worth hundreds of taels of gold, representing a considerable fortune.

Luo Feng stored the Demon Cores in his storage ring, then with a single stride, he appeared on a small hill a hundred meters away.

As Luo Feng approached, he noticed the hill was lush with various plants. The rich Wood Yuan Qi formed a faint green mist, giving the area an otherworldly, paradisiacal ambiance.

The Mu Yuan Spirit Fruit can indeed gather Wood Yuan Qi. It seems to be true.

Luo Feng exhaled, carefully picking the Mu Yuan Spirit Fruit.

Suddenly, as soon as the Mu Yuan Spirit Fruit separated from the plant, a green pillar of light, dozens of feet thick, abruptly shot towards the sky.

The already dense Wood Yuan Qi in the surrounding area instantly became even richer, enshrouding an area spanning hundreds of zhang in a green mist. Amid the hazy mist, a sense of ethereality permeated the surroundings. Vines grew rapidly at a visible pace, blossoming into a sea of flowers that submerged the corpses of the two Demon Beasts.

Several kilometers away, four Martial Artists traveling through the forest all stopped in their tracks and looked towards the distant light.

"What’s with that pillar of green light?"

"Could it be a rare treasure has surfaced?"

"It’s highly likely. Typically, the emergence of a natural treasure results in celestial phenomena."

"Then there’s no time to lose! Let’s go quickly!"

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

The four figures, their expressions excited, picked up their pace, moving through the dense forest like lightning towards the source of the green light.

Luo Feng looked at the mesmerizing scenery that had suddenly sprung up around the hill, marveling at the divine skill of nature. He took a deep breath, feeling a cool sensation permeate his lungs; he felt as if his Cultivation had even improved slightly.

No wonder those two peak Fourth-Level Demon Beasts fought so desperately for this place. If one could cultivate here long-term, their progress would undoubtedly be magnified.

Luo Feng shook his head. Humans die for wealth, and birds die for food. Evidently, the same applies to Demon Beasts.

He put the Mu Yuan Spirit Fruit into his storage ring and prepared to leave.

Hmm? Someone’s coming...

Just as he turned, Luo Feng’s footsteps halted, his gaze fixed on the forest ahead.

RUSTLE...

In the span of a single breath, four figures rushed forth from the forest.

Disciples of the Sky Sword Pavilion...

Seeing the outfits of the four figures, Luo Feng’s eyes flickered slightly. They wore clothes embroidered with a small sword on the chest and sleeves—the uniform of Sky Sword Pavilion disciples. Judging by their auras, two were peak-level Martial Artists of the Ninth Level of the Heavenly Court Realm; the others were at the late and early stages of the same realm.

When Luo Feng’s gaze landed on the last figure, a surprised look flashed in his eyes, and his lips curled into a smile. It was none other than Chen Qi, the Tiger Might Marquis’s Princely Heir, who had been forced to flee in disgrace from Green Wood Peak.

"Hm? Someone is here!"

Upon seeing Luo Feng, the four were taken aback; none of them had expected someone else to be here.

When Chen Qi’s gaze fell upon Luo Feng, he trembled slightly, his face turned a shade paler, and he subtly moved to hide behind the others. If there was anyone in this world he least wanted to encounter, it had to be Luo Feng.

"Senior Brother Xin, quickly look over there!" The shortest of the group, a young man at the front, pointed to Luo Feng’s side and whispered to the tall young man in the middle.

"The Mu Yuan Spirit Fruit!"

Everyone except Chen Qi noticed the Mu Yuan Spirit Fruit plant. Each of them watched it with covetous eyes, their gazes revealing their greed.

"Senior Brother Xin, the Mu Yuan Spirit Fruit must have just been picked. It should be on this kid," the short young man who had spoken first licked his lips as he looked at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng paid no attention to their greedy gazes. Looking at Chen Qi, he laughed, "Chen Qi, long time no see. How have you been?"

Chen Qi’s face stiffened. He managed to force a smile.

"Senior Brother Chen, do you know him?" the short young man asked, sensing something amiss from Chen Qi’s expression.

With a stiff face, Chen Qi replied, "We’ve met once before."

He certainly did not want to mention the embarrassing incident on Green Wood Peak.

"I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave," Luo Feng said, turning to depart.

"Hey, kid, hold up!"

Seeing Luo Feng about to leave, the short young man waved his hand, unleashing a Palm Gang that blocked Luo Feng’s path. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Luo Feng halted his steps, his sharp gaze locking onto the young man as he asked coldly, "What’s the matter?"
