Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 480 - 478: One Against Two

Hearing the conversations around him, Jiu Ying burst into loud laughter, "Since Yang Dingtian is so powerful, why hasn’t he appeared yet?"

The experts from the City Lord Mansion were taken aback by his question. By rights, with such a significant incident occurring in the City Lord Mansion, Yang Dingtian should have appeared by now, even if he was cultivating. However, he had yet to make an appearance.

Jiu Ying grinned and sneered, "Apparently, you folks are still in the dark. Well, I’ll let you die knowing. Two months ago, Yang Dingtian was poisoned with the Blood Yin Poison by our esteemed Blood Poison Demonic General. He’s hanging by a thread now!"

WHOOSH!

As Jiu Ying’s words fell, the faces of the surrounding City Lord Mansion guards changed drastically.

"The City Lord was poisoned with Blood Yin Poison? How is this possible?"

"But two months ago, the City Lord did engage in a great battle with the Blood Poison Demonic General."

"Miss, is this true?"

The experts of the City Lord Mansion, shaken by this news, erupted into discussion, their expressions shocked, some looking quite flustered.

Seeing this, a cold gleam flickered in Jiu Ying’s eyes. This was exactly the reaction he had intended.

These people were not weak. If he could make them lose their will to fight, it would be much easier to act.

Yang Wanyi’s pretty face turned a shade colder. Unsure how to respond, Luo Feng stepped forward.

"Everyone, please don’t worry. While the City Lord has indeed been poisoned with the Blood Yin Poison, a cure has already been found. He is currently in seclusion to detoxify. If all goes well, the poison should be completely neutralized soon."

Luo Feng spoke loudly, his sharp gaze fixed on Jiu Ying, and said in a deep voice, "Right now, his detoxification is of utmost priority. We absolutely cannot allow any disciple of the Blood Demon Sect to set foot in Yang Academy. Otherwise, not only the City Lord Mansion but also the entire Dayang City might fall prey to these Demon Sect disciples!"

This damned brat!

Jiu Ying’s expression changed slightly. He attempted to interrupt Luo Feng and unleashed a powerful aura. His chilling gaze, sharp as a sword, aimed to suppress Luo Feng’s spirit.

Unfazed by the opponent’s aura, Luo Feng drew his Rage Flame Knife with a CLANG! and declared resolutely, "As Martial Artists, why should we fear a fight! Everyone, let these disciples of the Blood Demon Sect witness the strength of Dayang Mansion!"

"That’s right! Disciples of the Demon Sect are bloodthirsty by nature; we cannot let them run rampant!"

"As Martial Artists, why fear a fight? Well said, Young Master Luo Feng."

"We absolutely cannot let these disciples of the Demon Sect set foot in Yang Academy!"

Luo Feng’s words greatly boosted the morale of the City Lord Mansion experts, their eyes becoming as fierce as a tiger’s. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Yang Wanyi, standing behind him, was taken aback. Her bright eyes revealed her surprise at Luo Feng’s calmness and adaptability.

"Kid, how dare you speak so recklessly in front of me! Die!"

Jiu Ying, his plans thwarted by Luo Feng, unleashed a potent murderous intent. Surging Yuan Qi gushed from his body like a tide as he blasted a palm strike through the air.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The vast Yuan Qi formed a blood-red palm the size of a door panel. The air itself seemed to creak under the pressure, as if space itself was about to shatter.

The ground beneath Luo Feng sank inch by inch. He felt as if his body weighed immensely heavy, an invisible force crushing down on him.

"Sever!"

Knowing his opponent was a third-level Spiritual Rotation Realm expert, Luo Feng instantly channeled his Yuan Qi to its absolute limit, swinging the Rage Flame Knife through the air to unleash a massive saber gleam.

BOOM!

The saber gleam clashed with the blood-red palm, desperately resisting its force.

"Hmm?"

Surprise flashed in Jiu Ying’s eyes, quickly overwhelmed by surging murderous intent. His right hand made a grasping motion in the void, and the blood-red palm’s power surged violently, instantly shattering the saber gleam.

Just as the blood-red palm was about to crush him, a pulling force suddenly yanked Luo Feng backward.

"Luo Feng, I’ll deal with him."

Yang Wanyi pulled Luo Feng behind her. Stepping forward with a light tap of her lotus foot, brilliant flames erupted around her body.

"With Sky Gang Chess, Transforming Mountains and Rivers—Congeal!"

Standing amidst a sea of fire, Yang Wanyi’s bright eyes shone brilliantly. As her clear, melodious voice faded, the crimson flames surrounding her suddenly transformed into a gigantic mountain of fire, towering dozens of feet high and suppressing the surrounding space.

BOOM!

The blood-red palm fiercely struck the flame mountain, creating a deafening roar, yet it failed to move the mountain even an inch.

"Yang Wanyi, you’re courting death!"

As a third-level Spiritual Rotation Realm expert, failing repeatedly to kill a mere Meridian Wheel Realm Martial Artist enraged Jiu Ying. Blood-red light swelled around him, and the massive blood-red palm erupted with explosive force once more.

BOOM!

The colossal blood-red palm radiated intense heat. Wherever it passed, the air seethed violently, like boiling water.

Yang Wanyi’s clothes billowed in the wind, her fine hair flying, as she extended a slender, jade-like hand and tapped lightly in the air several times. The large flame mountain suddenly split into four smaller peaks that spun out, guarding the four cardinal directions.

"Wanluo Burning Heaven!"

As her voice faded, a colossal pillar of fire erupted from between the four peaks, instantly piercing through the blood-red palm.

Concerned that continued fighting would endanger Luo Feng, Yang Wanyi, after shattering Jiu Ying’s attack, took a light step. Her figure transformed into a streak of crimson light and shot into the sky.

"You won’t escape!"

Jiu Ying was so enraged he nearly lost his senses. With a furious roar, the blood-red light around him flared, and he shot up from the ground, pursuing Yang Wanyi.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Instantly, a series of increasingly powerful shockwaves erupted in the sky, shaking heaven and earth.

"I’ve found out that Yang Dingtian is in this courtyard! Let’s break in!"

"Kill!"

"Today, we will slaughter everyone in Dayang Mansion until blood flows like rivers!"

Seeing that Jiu Ying and Yang Wanyi were locked in a battle with no clear victor in sight, the remaining Blood Demon Sect disciples turned their attention to Yang Academy, roaring as they charged forward.

To ensure Yang Dingtian’s death, the Blood Poison Demonic General had dispatched ten of his most capable subordinates. Besides Jiu Ying, a third-level Spiritual Rotation Realm expert, there were two first-level Spiritual Rotation Realm experts. The rest were Martial Artists at the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Court Realm. Their combined roars were heaven-shaking, causing the surrounding buildings to hum and tremble.

"The City Lord is detoxifying! They mustn’t set foot in Yang Academy! Kill them!"

"Archers, fire!"

Seemingly inspired by Luo Feng’s words, the City Lord Mansion’s defenders, despite facing powerful Demon Sect disciples, were equally filled with killing intent.

Instantly, a dense volley of arrows, like a swarm of locusts, flew towards the seven Blood Demon Sect disciples.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

The arrow volley struck the Protective Gang Qi of the Blood Demon Sect disciples, each arrow exploding into dust and causing ripples to spread across their defenses.

"Kill!"

Five Stewards from the City Lord Mansion followed behind the arrow volley, seizing the opportunity to charge forward.

In an instant, the open ground before Yang Academy filled with the sound of exploding Gang Qi as over a dozen Ninth Heavenly Court Realm peak Martial Artists clashed with all their might.

"You brat, you dare ruin Lord Jiu Ying’s plans! I’ll tear you to shreds today!"

Among the five City Lord Mansion Stewards, only one was an early-stage Spiritual Rotation Realm expert; the others were at the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Court Realm. Their strength and numbers were far inferior to those of the Blood Demon Sect disciples. Two Blood Demon Sect disciples broke through the encirclement and charged straight for Luo Feng.

Luo Feng stood his ground, watching the two approaching assailants with a calm gaze.

Seeing this, the two Blood Demon Sect disciples grew furious. One of them snorted, "Kid, we saw your fight with Xue Fei yesterday. You’re merely at the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Court Realm. Now that you’ve encountered us two brothers, you’re dead for sure today!"

"Blood Wind Palm!"

"Underworld River Cuts Souls! Die!"

The two Blood Demon Sect disciples smirked coldly and immediately unleashed their ultimate techniques. Palm winds and spear shadows instantly locked onto Luo Feng.

Both were at the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Court Realm. Their full-powered attacks carried astonishing momentum, and the shockwaves alone caused the ground before Luo Feng to crack and shatter.

Luo Feng remained unfazed, concealing the Rage Flame Knife behind his back. He clenched his left hand into a fist and threw a punch.

"Tyrant Flame Return Wind!"

BOOM!

A massive fist of fiery energy roared out, colliding violently with the myriad palm winds and spear shadows. A fierce shockwave spread in all directions.

The moment he struck, Luo Feng had already activated Teng Dragon’s Step, drifting backward, unaffected by the shockwave.

The two Blood Demon Sect disciples were not so fortunate. Struck by the shockwave, they grunted in pain and stumbled back more than ten steps.

"This kid’s strong! Don’t hold back! Kill him so we can get to Yang Dingtian. If he really has found a cure, we’ll be in trouble."

"Right!"

The two Blood Demon Sect disciples stared at Luo Feng, their hearts filled with a mixture of shock and rage. After a brief exchange, they attacked Luo Feng from both left and right.

"Blood Wind without Shadow!"

The one on the left let out a long cry, his palms erupting with dazzling blood-red light as he struck out continuously. His movements were incredibly fast; his palms seemed to merge with the wind, leaving no discernible trajectory, only the piercing shriek of rending air.

"Underworld River Cuts Souls!"

The one on the right, wielding a long spear, coldly uttered four words. As he attacked, twenty-four pitch-black spear shadows shot out in succession from mid-air.

The spear shadows merged, and from within came the faint, chilling sounds of ghostly wails and wolf howls, like a river from the underworld itself, enough to make one’s blood run cold.

"You want to kill Yang Dingtian? You’ll have to get past me first."

Facing their combined attack, Luo Feng neither retreated nor dodged. A sharp glint erupted from his eyes, as if a peerless treasured saber was about to be unsheathed, his aura immense and overwhelming.

"Great Wilderness Flame Explosion! Break!"

Empowered by his Grand Momentum, Luo Feng’s right fist blazed with dazzling crimson light as he fiercely slammed it into the ground.

HUM!

The ground within a ten-meter radius around Luo Feng rippled like boiling water. Rings of scorching flame-fist energy converged from his left and right.

BOOM!

A massive explosion erupted. The ground within a three-meter radius of the two Blood Demon Sect disciples shattered violently, and dazzling pillars of fire shot skyward, completely engulfing them.

BANG! BANG!

Amidst the explosions, the palm winds and spear shadows were obliterated by the fire pillars, vanishing without a trace. The two Blood Demon Sect disciples screamed, spewing blood as they were blasted into the air.

A sharp light flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes as he swung the Rage Flame Knife in successive aerial slashes.

"No! Lord Jiu Ying, save us!"

The two Blood Demon Sect disciples, chilled to the bone by the sharp aura contained within the saber gleams, screamed for help.

SPLATTER! SPLATTER!

The saber gleams flashed past. The two Blood Demon Sect disciples, still airborne, had no time to dodge and were bisected by the attacks.

Instantly, a shower of blood rained down upon the clearing, staining a large patch of ground crimson.

Luo Feng flicked the blood from his saber, indifferent to the corpses lying nearby.

Even before yesterday, he could easily defeat peak Ninth Heavenly Court Realm experts. Last night, after consuming the Yuanlin Pill, his cultivation had advanced even further. Now, forget two mere peak Ninth Heavenly Court Realm experts—even if there were ten, he would not fear them!
