Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 500 - 498: I’ll Spare Your Life!

A glint flashed in his eyes. A huge shadow of a knife appeared around Luo Feng, sharp and unstoppable.

"Grand Momentum as the blade!"

With a cold shout, the knife’s shadow fused with Luo Feng’s aura. He swung his blade, unleashing a powerful slash.

CRACK!

A thunderous boom resounded. A tremendous blade light materialized in the open sky, heading straight for Liu Jinshi.

Liu Jinshi glanced at Yang Wanyi below, his eyes flickering. Yang Wanyi is here now. I’m no match for them both. I should retreat for now and wait for another opportunity to seek revenge and wash away the shame of today!

Thousands of ideas flashed through his mind in an instant. Liu Jinshi quickly made a decision. His body flared up with blazing light, avoiding the incoming blade light and shooting towards the horizon.

BOOM!

The blade light flew past, leaving a deep crack in the canyon.

"Kid, I, Liu Jinshi, will remember today’s grudge! The next time we meet will be the day you die!" Liu Jinshi’s voice, filled with killing intent, drifted with the wind.

Luo Feng’s eyebrows furrowed. He was about to give chase, but Liu Jinshi was unbelievably fast. Within the span of a breath, he had disappeared several kilometers away, leaving only a small blood-red dot in the sky.

Looking back at Yang Wanyi, still in the canyon, Luo Feng hesitated for a moment and gave up the chase. This was the Blood-colored Wilderness; the recent battle would likely attract other dangerous Demon Beasts, and with Yang Wanyi injured, they needed to leave quickly.

I’ll let you live... for now, Luo Feng thought. With a cold snort, his figure flashed, and he landed in front of Yang Wanyi.

Yang Wanyi stared at Luo Feng, still stunned from the fight.

She was immensely surprised that Luo Feng had managed to break through to the Spiritual Rotation Realm in such a short time.

However, what surprised her most was not this, but Luo Feng’s strength.

Luo Feng had just broken through to the Spiritual Rotation Realm, yet he had already killed two First Stage Spiritual Rotation Realm masters. This was something ordinary people simply couldn’t do.

Even Lu Xiao Yun, the super genius from three years ago, definitely could not have achieved this.

"What are you looking at?" Luo Feng noticed Yang Wanyi’s gaze and asked.

"There’s something on your face." Yang Wanyi’s lips curled into a charming smile. She reached out and gently wiped Luo Feng’s face.

Looking at Yang Wanyi so close to him, Luo Feng felt a bit awkward and wanted to move away. However, the moment his hand brushed hers, he felt a bone-chilling cold. Frowning, he asked, "Your hand is so cold. How are your injuries?"

Yang Wanyi withdrew her hand, a playful smile on her pretty face. She shook her head slightly and said, "It’s just a minor injury, not a big deal. Congratulations on breaking into the Spiritual Rotation Realm. For this twelve Golden Palace assessment..."

Before she could finish, Yang Wanyi’s voice suddenly grew faint. Her exquisite Daimei wrinkled slightly. Then, with a soft, choked sound, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and her body collapsed to the ground.

"Yang Wanyi!" Luo Feng was shocked. He quickly propped her up.

Yang Wanyi’s eyes were closed, her face pale, and a trace of blood still lingered on her lips. She was obviously seriously injured.

She had already been injured, yet she fought with all her strength against Liu Jinshi and his two accomplices. Now, her injuries had compounded, and her breathing was extremely faint.

She suffered such grievous injuries... Looking at the unconscious Yang Wanyi, Luo Feng’s gaze flickered, and his fists tightened.

Liu Jinshi, I swear I’ll hunt you to the ends of the earth and take your miserable life!

Exhaling a turbid breath, Luo Feng quickly took out the best healing Spirit Pill he had and carefully fed it to Yang Wanyi.

At this time, vague roars of beasts could be heard from the foggy surroundings.

We have to leave this place first... Hearing the roars, Luo Feng frowned and picked up Yang Wanyi in his arms.

Looking at Yang Wanyi in his arms, Luo Feng felt an array of emotions. Once, she was the daughter of Dayang City’s City Lord, while he was merely the young master of a family in a small border town. Their statuses were worlds apart; it seemed impossible their paths would ever cross. Yet now...

Shaking his head, Luo Feng discarded the chaotic thoughts from his mind. He circulated his Yuan Qi, and his figure shot up into the sky, transforming into a streak of light that flew into the distance.

I must find a safe place for her to recuperate...

In the sky, Luo Feng, looking at the beauty in his arms, suddenly had a spark of insight. That’s right! The cave...

Recalling the cave where they had taken shelter on their journey, Luo Feng identified the direction and accelerated. His figure left a transparent trail in the sky, vanishing in an instant.

Traveling at full speed, a quarter of an hour later, Luo Feng finally spotted the cave in the distance.

The area around the cave was just as they had left it, with no signs of Demon Beast activity. This allowed Luo Feng to breathe a sigh of relief. Holding Yang Wanyi, he rushed straight into the cave.

Once inside, Luo Feng took out a piece of beast skin from his storage ring, laid Yang Wanyi down on it, and immediately sat beside her.

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Luo Feng frowned slightly. Yang Wanyi’s delicate face was devoid of any color. Her plain dress was stained with blood, as striking as plum blossoms against snow. Her delicate Daimei were tightly knitted, revealing a hint of pain.

She suffered such grievous injuries protecting me during my cultivation. If I had delayed even a moment longer, then she... Luo Feng’s heart stirred. A complex emotion flickered across his face. He gently took Yang Wanyi’s icy hand in his, looked at her delicate face, and said with a wry smile, "Why go to such lengths? I, Luo Feng, owe you a great favor for this."

"Water..." At that moment, Yang Wanyi’s lips suddenly moved, and a barely audible sound drifted out.

Luo Feng was startled. He quickly bent down to listen carefully. Only then did he realize she was asking for water. He hastily fetched a water skin from his storage ring.

Carefully helping Yang Wanyi sit up, Luo Feng held the water skin to her lips. However, the water merely trickled down the corner of her mouth; she was unable to swallow.

Looking at Yang Wanyi’s pale, parted lips, Luo Feng frowned slightly. After a moment’s hesitation, he whispered, "Forgive my impertinence."

With that, Luo Feng took a large mouthful of water, leaned towards her, suppressed the jumbled thoughts in his mind, and carefully transferred the water into Yang Wanyi’s mouth, bit by bit.

As if sensing the life-giving moisture, the unconscious Yang Wanyi suddenly reached out, wrapped her arms around Luo Feng, and began to drink greedily.

UGH... 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Caught off guard, Luo Feng felt a sharp pain on his lips, scattering all other thoughts. Yang Wanyi had bitten him.

Looking at Yang Wanyi, her eyes still tightly closed in unconsciousness, Luo Feng gave a wry smile. Despite the pain on his lip, he continued to transfer water bit by bit.

After repeating this three times, Yang Wanyi’s knitted brows gradually relaxed, and she fell into a deep sleep on the beast skin.

Looking at Yang Wanyi, who was hugging her arms and curled up like a cat on the beast skin, Luo Feng touched the teeth marks on his lip. He shook his head and murmured, "So fierce even while unconscious. I suppose only I could handle a girl like you."

Sensing that Yang Wanyi’s breathing had evened out and that she was likely out of immediate danger, the stone in Luo Feng’s heart finally lifted.

He rose and walked to the cave entrance, where he sat down cross-legged. Closing his eyes, he began to consolidate his Cultivation.

The moment he focused his mind inward, Luo Feng immediately felt changes in his body. The Yuan Qi within his meridians was now tens of times more abundant than before. The most significant change, however, was to the two Meridian Wheels in his Dantian.

Previously, these Meridian Wheels had been mere static pools of Jing Qi. But now, the Meridian Wheels in his Dantian were slowly rotating. Each rotation drew in Yuan Qi from the heavens and earth, incorporating it into his body.

"Two Spirit Rotations..." Observing the two vortexes, Luo Feng opened his eyes, an ecstatic grin spreading across his face.

When a Martial Artist entered the Spiritual Rotation Realm, their Meridian Wheels awakened as Spirit Rotations. The nine stages of the Meridian Wheel Realm corresponded to nine Spirit Rotations within the body. Each time a Spirit Rotation awakened, the Martial Artist’s strength would surge tremendously.

Ordinary Martial Artists, upon breaking through to the Spiritual Rotation Realm, would typically awaken only a single Spirit Rotation.

Luo Feng, however, was uniquely gifted. He possessed eighteen Meridian Wheels, and thus, he had awakened two Spirit Rotations right from the start. This explained why, immediately after his breakthrough, he could so easily defeat those two First Stage Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artists.

What excited Luo Feng was not just this simple increase in strength. Spirit Rotations automatically absorbed Yuan Qi from the heavens and earth, enhancing one’s Cultivation. Now that Luo Feng possessed two Spirit Rotations, his cultivation speed, even without deliberate effort, would be double that of an ordinary First Stage Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist!

At this rate, the higher my realm, the faster my cultivation speed will become! The more Luo Feng thought about it, the more excited he became. Having double the Spirit Rotations meant not only that his Yuan Qi was far more abundant than other Martial Artists’ but also that his cultivation speed was doubled. Given time, he was certain to leave others far behind.

Just as Luo Feng was brimming with enthusiasm, a faint sound echoed from behind.

Turning around, Luo Feng saw that Yang Wanyi had awakened and quickly walked over to her.

"Where is this...?" Yang Wanyi looked around, her gaze still somewhat dazed.

Luo Feng smiled. "This is the cave where we sheltered from the rain earlier. You fainted, so I brought you here to recover."

Clarity returned to Yang Wanyi’s eyes. Her gaze fell upon the beast skin she lay on, and a thought flickered through her mind: He brought me here...

Luo Feng walked over with a water skin. "Still thirsty?"

"Mm," Yang Wanyi nodded, accepting the water skin Luo Feng offered. Suddenly, she noticed the tooth marks on his lip and smiled. "How did your lip get injured?"

Recalling what had just happened, Luo Feng’s gaze flickered past Yang Wanyi’s lips, and his cheeks grew a little warm. He shook his head. "I was careless and got bitten by a wild beast earlier. It’s just a small scratch."

"Bitten by a wild beast?" A flicker of suspicion crossed Yang Wanyi’s beautiful eyes. Those tooth marks... they don’t look like they were made by a beast...

Worried Yang Wanyi would press further, Luo Feng quickly stood up. "By the way, are you hungry? I’ll go get you something to eat," he said hastily. "You’re injured; you need something fresh." With that, he took a few quick strides and was out of the cave.

Watching Luo Feng’s somewhat flustered departing figure, Yang Wanyi suddenly felt her own lips were a little dry. She licked them, and her delicate Daimei furrowed slightly as she sensed a faint metallic taste. Wiping her lip with a finger, she found a faint trace of blood.

Blood... Yang Wanyi’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. Recalling the tooth marks on Luo Feng’s lip, her gaze flickered. Exceptionally intelligent, she instantly understood what had transpired. Despite her usual composure in even the grandest of situations, she felt a little flustered for a moment, and a blush crept onto her pretty face.

PHEW...

Luo Feng hurried out of the cave, letting out a long sigh of relief. If I’d kept talking, I definitely would have let the cat out of the bag.

Shaking his head, Luo Feng cleared his mind of distracting thoughts. He scanned his surroundings, then leaped up and sped off into the distance.

Since Yang Wanyi was still in the cave, Luo Feng didn’t dare to venture far. He scouted the nearby area, hunted a Demon Beast, and quickly returned.

When he entered the cave, Yang Wanyi had already changed her clothes and was leaning languidly against the cave wall. Seeing Luo Feng return, her eyes flickered, and she said softly, "You’re back."

Luo Feng, not noticing the subtle change in Yang Wanyi’s expression, nodded. He walked over to the side to light a campfire and held up his catch. "Luck was on my side. I hunted a Blood Horn Rabbit. Its meat is good for blood circulation and will greatly aid your recovery."
