Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 465 - 463: Slaying Xuekui

"Sky Gang Chess, Transforming Mountains and Rivers, Solidify!"

Yang Wanyi stood in a sea of flames. Her bright eyes sparkled as she coldly shouted. Around her, pillars of fire merged to form a massive flaming mountain peak, towering over a dozen meters high, suppressing the surroundings.

Above the mountain peak, rivers of fire surged, their waves rolling high, seemingly filled with infinite power that shocked anyone who witnessed it.

"This is the power of Linglong Hall’s Tianluo Flame Shine Art!"

Luo Feng gazed at the giant fiery mountain in the sky, inhaling deeply. His eyes didn’t even blink, determined to memorize every detail of their showdown.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Over ten azure Asura figures howled as they ferociously slashed their curved sabers on the fiery mountain peak, creating a deafening noise.

The flaming peak remained unscathed as waves of fire surged skyward. Any azure Asura touched by the flames was instantly reduced to ashes, disappearing without a trace.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Over ten Asura figures vanished in the blink of an eye. Behind them, Xuekui, wielding the Azure Blood Demon Saber that emitted a dazzling azure light, slashed down vigorously. The attack cracked the mountain peak, but it did not split apart.

"Swiftly!"

Yang Wanyi formed a Dharma Jue, a fierce light flashing in her bright eyes. The giant mountain shadow immediately tore through the air, charging fiercely at Xuekui.

"Damn it! Asura Slash!"

Xuekui’s eyes bulged with rage as he roared. A massive Asura figure suddenly materialized from his body. An azure saber light sliced through the air, its piercing cry echoing for miles as it tore through the sky.

BOOM! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The mountain shadow was cleaved in two. In that instant, the entire mountain peak exploded, fiery waves sweeping across the surroundings.

SPURT!

Xuekui, with nowhere left to dodge, was jolted and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His figure plummeted from mid-air and landed staggeringly on the ground.

"Chess Transforms Mountains and Rivers! Your Tianluo Flame Shine Art has reached such a realm!"

Spitting out another mouthful of fresh blood, Xuekui looked up at Yang Wanyi in the sky, his eyes filled with unwillingness and blazing rage.

Three months ago, he had pursued Yang Wanyi in the Red Flame Desert. To his surprise, fortunes had reversed in just three short months; he was no longer her match.

Yang Wanyi looked at Xuekui, the smile on her lips gradually fading as her eyes turned cold. "Xuekui, you won’t leave here today."

"Hmph, you think I’ll just wait to be slaughtered? Forget it! I, Xuekui, will remember today’s enmity." Xuekui sneered coldly, his figure transforming into a green light as he prepared to flee.

"Trying to run?" Yang Wanyi’s Daimei creased slightly. If I let Xuekui go today, it will be much harder to kill him once he escapes back to the Blood Demon Sect. Not to mention the endless trouble that would follow. She prepared to pursue him.

Suddenly, just as Yang Wanyi thought Xuekui was about to flee, he stomped heavily on the ground. His figure twisted at an unbelievable angle and shot straight towards Luo Feng.

"Despicable!"

The color drained from Yang Wanyi’s face, and she immediately gave chase. However, she was a step too late; Xuekui had already created some distance.

"Luo Feng, be careful!" Yang Wanyi hadn’t expected Xuekui to feign retreat only to advance, and she was filled with regret.

"Hehe, you’re both too inexperienced to fight me, Xuekui of the Azure Blood Demon Saber!" Xuekui looked at Luo Feng, laughing triumphantly, his Azure Blood Saber emanating an eerie chill.

"Kid, die!" Xuekui roared, slashing his Azure Blood Saber through the air. An astonishingly powerful azure saber light whistled out, carving a deep trench in the ground.

I must block this strike! Luo Feng stood his ground, his sharp gaze fixed ahead. He stepped forward, unleashing a slash he had been gathering power for.

"Grand Momentum as Saber!"

He slashed once, then a second, a third, and a fourth time! Luo Feng unleashed four full-power slashes in quick succession, only stopping when his meridians began to ache. He then channeled the remaining Yuan Qi within him.

"Dragon Slaughtering Gang Qi!"

VOOM!

After the four slashes, a resonant dragon cry echoed as a massive dragon-shaped Gang Qi enveloped Luo Feng, protecting him.

BOOM!

Both saber lights moved incredibly fast, colliding in an instant. Luo Feng’s first saber light was shattered instantly by the azure one.

Then the second! And the third! Each time one of Luo Feng’s saber lights was destroyed, the azure saber light shrank slightly, but it continued towards him with unstoppable momentum.

BOOM!

Luo Feng’s fourth saber light held on for a moment before it too was shattered. The azure saber light then viciously struck the Dragon Slaughtering Gang Qi. It sliced ferociously, causing dragon scales to explode one by one, sending out a myriad of sparks.

Luo Feng frowned deeply, straining to channel the Yuan Qi in his body. His feet skidded across the ground, carving out two terrifying trenches.

After a tense moment that felt like a held breath, Luo Feng sensed his Dragon Slaughtering Gang Qi was on the verge of collapse. Clenching his teeth, he unleashed all his remaining Yuan Qi in a single punch.

BOOM!

A huge, flaming fist of Gang Qi rushed forward, striking ruthlessly at the azure saber light. With a CRACK, the astonishingly powerful azure saber light split down the middle.

"What! You blocked it! Impossible! How could you block my Azure Blood Senro Saber?" Xuekui’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. As a Spiritual Rotation Realm Level Two expert, he had failed to kill a peak Ninth Heavenly Court Realm Martial Artist in one blow. This infuriated him to the point of nearly losing his sanity. Only one thought remained: I must kill this kid!

"Kid, die!" Xuekui roared, the azure light from his curved saber flaring dramatically as he prepared to attack again.

"Don’t even think about it!" A fragrant breeze swept by as a melodious, chilly voice echoed through the forest. Yang Wanyi, who had been in close pursuit, finally arrived.

"Tianluo Burning Field."

Without another word, Yang Wanyi’s body erupted in a dazzling flame, which transformed into a gigantic fire pillar, four to five meters thick, shooting straight for Xuekui’s back.

The pillar of fire radiated intense heat. Wherever it passed, the air boiled violently, like water in a searing pot.

Not good! Feeling the immense danger, Xuekui snapped out of his rage. Shocked, he immediately spun around and slashed out an azure Saber Gang, trying to stop the fire pillar.

BANG!

The azure Saber Gang seemed exceptionally fragile before the fire pillar. It exploded on contact, vanishing without a trace. The fire pillar, its power undiminished, ruthlessly bombarded Xuekui.

SPURT!

Xuekui spat out a large mouthful of blood as his body was flung more than ten meters through the air. His chest clothing was burned to ash, revealing a skull-sized hole in his abdomen from which black blood gushed, staining a large area red.

"Cough..." Xuekui truly was a Spiritual Rotation Realm expert. Despite such severe injuries, he didn’t die immediately. Struggling to prop himself up, he laughed grimly. "The Blood Saber Demon General already knew we were coming after Luo Feng. If we don’t return, the Demon General won’t let you go! No matter where you run, you won’t be able to escape death..."

BANG!

"That’s no longer your concern."

Yang Wanyi said lightly and waved her hand. Xuekui was immediately engulfed in a blaze of fire and burned to ashes.

PUFF!

Seeing Xuekui killed, Luo Feng could no longer suppress the turbulent Qi and blood in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Luo Feng!" The fragrant breeze returned as Yang Wanyi rushed to support Luo Feng. Seeing his pale face, her Daimei creased slightly. "How are you?"

They were less than half a foot apart, and Luo Feng could feel Yang Wanyi’s warm breath. His cheeks couldn’t help but feel a little hot. He shook his head. "I was just hit by the Yuan Qi shock and suffered some minor injuries. Nothing serious."

Hearing this, Yang Wanyi sighed in relief, her delicate face breaking into her usual smile. She patted her ample chest and said with a relieved smile, "I thought you were a goner. For a peak Ninth Heavenly Court Realm Martial Artist to block a blow from Xuekui... if word of this gets out, I don’t know how many people it will shock to death."

Yang Wanyi was indeed deeply surprised. She was also a Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist and knew full well the vast gap between that realm and the Meridian Wheel Realm. The fact that Luo Feng had emerged unscathed still seemed unbelievable to her.

Luo Feng recalled the earlier blow, still feeling a lingering fear. "Xuekui was injured by you, and he underestimated me, so he didn’t use his full strength. That’s the only reason I barely managed to block it. If he had been a bit more serious, you’d probably be looking at my corpse right now."

"Regardless, you’re really lucky to be alive." Yang Wanyi smiled, patting Luo Feng’s shoulder.

Luo Feng nodded. To survive being hunted by a Spiritual Rotation Realm expert... it truly is a miracle.

"Thank goodness you showed up in time. Thank you."

Yang Wanyi looked at Luo Feng’s serious expression, covered her lips with her hand, and chuckled. After a moment, she said, "You helped me once in Dayang City too. This time, we’re even."

"Didn’t you say you were heading back to Linglong Hall? Why did you suddenly come here?" Luo Feng couldn’t help being curious and asked.

Yang Wanyi pursed her lips, her bright eyes fixed on Luo Feng as she smiled radiantly. "If I said I came specifically to help you, would you believe me?"

"No." Luo Feng immediately shook his head. Apart from that baseless marriage contract, I can’t think of any reason why Yang Wanyi would travel thousands of miles to help me. Besides, I know she doesn’t take that contract seriously at all.

"Hehe, you answered quickly enough." Yang Wanyi smiled faintly. Her gaze fell on the nearby traces of battle, and her Daimei furrowed. "How did you manage to provoke someone like the Blood Saber Demon General?"

Luo Feng shrugged and explained what had happened in the Red Flame Desert. Then he frowned. "What puzzles me is how they managed to find me in the Red Chain Mountain Range."

Yang Wanyi suddenly walked to the side, bent down, and picked up a Token from the ground. "They were probably able to find you because of this."

"Huh? I think I’ve seen this Token somewhere before." Luo Feng looked at the Token in Yang Wanyi’s hand, his eyes flickering as he recalled that when he killed Blood Cloud, Blood Cloud had also taken out a similar Token.

"This is called a Yin Yang Blood Seal Order. They originally come in pairs, and no matter how far apart, they will attract each other. You must have destroyed the other one and gotten its aura on you. That’s how they were able to find you using this Token." Yang Wanyi explained, then clenched her fist. The Token, which had been faintly pulsing, immediately turned into dust. She looked up at Luo Feng and asked, "What are you doing so deep in the Red Chain Mountain Range?"

Remembering Yang Dingtian’s warning, Luo Feng said, "A friend of mine was poisoned and needs a specific Spiritual Medicine, so I came to look for it."

"Poisoned?" Yang Wanyi’s face changed slightly.

This girl... could she know that Yang Dingtian was poisoned with the Blood Yin Poison? Noticing the change in Yang Wanyi’s expression, Luo Feng frowned slightly and asked tentatively, "Yang Wanyi, how has City Lord Yang been recently?"
