Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 509 - 507: Terrifying Strength

Seeing Luo Feng speak, the ugly brute thought he had already submitted. Relieved, a smile spread across his face as he said, "You’ve made a smart choice. You are indeed strong, but you have no chance of saving this little girl from me. Now, hand over your valuables quickly!"

The other brutes surrounding them all sneered at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng sneered silently. Seeing the little girl close her eyes, a sharp glint flashed in his.

CRACKLE!

Thunder boomed, and a piercing aura radiated, startling everyone present.

For a moment, they all felt an illusion, as if a sharp blade hovered before their throats, their lives hanging by a thread.

THUMP!

As everyone stood bewildered, footsteps sounded. Luo Feng walked step by step towards the ugly brute.

"Kid, stop right there!"

Seeing Luo Feng approach, the expressions of a few nearby brutes faltered, and they immediately issued menacing threats.

Luo Feng paid them no heed and continued forward.

"Boss, this kid is stubborn! Let’s cut off this little brat’s hands first to show him who he’s dealing with..." a gray-clothed brute with a venomous glint in his eyes said, turning his head towards their ugly leader, his tone vicious.

However, his words died in his throat halfway, as if he were a duck being strangled. A gurgling sound escaped him, his sturdy body trembled slightly, and his eyes bulged as if he had seen something terrifying.

"Ma Si, what’s wrong?"

The other brutes were puzzled and turned to look, simultaneously gasping.

Their ugly leader stood motionless in the same spot. His large palm rested on the little girl’s fair neck, a cruel, grotesque smile still frozen on his face.

However, between his eyebrows, a thin line of blood had appeared. Thin trickles of fresh blood oozed from it, and his pupils were dilated.

The brutes realized at a glance that their leader, still standing there, was already dead!

"Boss!"

The men couldn’t believe their eyes.

Their leader was an expert at the first level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, yet he had been killed so silently! They had been right beside him yet hadn’t noticed a thing. What terrifying strength this was!

"What happened? Who killed the boss?"

"Could it be that kid?"

"But I didn’t see him make a move. He’s only at the first level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm himself; it can’t be him."

Looking at their ugly leader’s corpse, the remaining five all felt a chill creep down their spines, their weapon-gripping right hands trembling uncontrollably.

The venomous gray-clothed brute, standing beside the corpse, saw Luo Feng approaching. His eyes flickered as he thought to himself: This kid seems to care a lot about this little girl. If she falls into his hands, it’ll be truly dangerous!

As the thought flashed through his mind, the gray-clothed brute stomped his foot. His figure instantly appeared beside the ugly leader’s corpse, and he reached out to grab the little girl.

"Courting death!"

Luo Feng’s pupils contracted. The Rage Flame Knife transformed into an icy gleam, vanishing into thin air in an instant.

CRACKLE!

A thunderclap erupted. The gray-clothed brute opened his eyes to see a frigid saber gleam whistling towards him.

The saber gleam was incredibly fast; the gray-clothed brute had only just registered a sense of alarm when it was already upon him.

SPLAT!

His Protective Gang Energy shattered, blood splattered, and an entire arm flew into the air.

"AAH!"

His right arm severed, the gray-clothed brute let out a bloodcurdling howl like that of a cornered beast. The saber gleam’s immense force blasted him nearly ten meters into the air before he crashed heavily to the ground.

"It was you... you killed the leader..."

Lying in a pool of blood, the gray-clothed brute glared at Luo Feng, his gaze filled with shock and terror.

When he had made his move, he had kept an eye on Luo Feng, believing that even if Luo Feng was a first-level expert of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, he wouldn’t be able to stop him at such close range.

However, the reality was the exact opposite. The youth’s Saber Technique was as fast as a phantom!

Now, he finally understood who had killed their leader.

Recalling the power of that strike, deep despair filled the gray-clothed brute’s eyes.

"Die!"

Luo Feng sneered, disdaining to waste words. He clenched his left fist and punched.

A ferocious fist aura erupted like a hurricane, whistling outwards.

BOOM!

The punch slammed heavily onto the gray-clothed brute, caving in the ground in a three-meter radius around him and creating a pit four to five meters deep!

HISS!

Seeing this, the remaining brutes felt their scalps tingle.

The gray-clothed brute, though not as strong as their leader, was an expert at the half-step Spiritual Rotation Realm. Yet he had been killed so easily, without any chance to resist.

Moreover, judging by the Saber Technique the youth had just displayed, their leader had also been killed by him!

Even more astounded were the nearby villagers.

They had witnessed the strength of these ruffians and had initially thought their village was doomed. Even when Luo Feng appeared, they hadn’t believed a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth could change anything.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, two ruffians, men who killed without batting an eye, had met violent deaths. Each villager stared wide-eyed at Luo Feng, their faces etched with shock.

"This youth is so strong! Three years ago, I accidentally encountered a Disciple from the Purple Extreme Palace, and even his strength was inferior to this boy’s. Is he really just a student from one of the Four Great Academies?"

"I heard from Village Head Tie Cheng that he’s going to Sky Mountain for the Twelve Golden Palaces’ examination, so it must be true. This person must be a genius-level figure from the Four Great Academies."

"I’ve seen several young prodigies from the Four Great Academies in my lifetime, but not a single one could compare to him."

"Regardless, thanks to him, our Iron Lan Village managed to escape disaster today!"

The nearby villagers whispered among themselves, speculating about Luo Feng’s identity.

"This man is too strong! We’re no match for him! Run!"

Luo Feng’s power had completely crushed any will to resist in the remaining brutes. It’s unknown who shouted it first, but the five of them immediately turned tail and fled for their lives, screaming and scrambling. Some even discarded their weapons just to gain a little more speed.

Luo Feng glanced at the fleeing figures, a cold smile on his face. "Thinking of leaving now? It’s too late."

As he spoke, Luo Feng threw a continuous series of punches with his left fist.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

Each blast of fist energy transformed into a fiery whirlwind, radiating outwards in all directions with lightning speed.

AAH!

A scream tore through the air. The slowest runner was hit squarely in the back by a fist blast, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body smashed through and collapsed a nearby house.

This was followed by a second scream, then a third...

In the blink of an eye, all the fleeing men were struck by the fist blasts and slammed to the ground, their conditions unknown.

Having finished, Luo Feng clapped his hands lightly and said to the nearby villagers, "I’ll leave them to you."

"Alright!"

The nearby villagers, all looking bewildered, were startled back to their senses by his voice.

Luo Feng paid them no more mind and turned to walk over to the corpse of the bandit leader.

Seeing the little girl still had her eyes tightly closed, curled into a ball and trembling slightly, Luo Feng smiled. He squatted down beside her and gently ruffled her small head. "Open your eyes now. It’s alright, everything’s over."

The little girl slowly opened her eyes. Seeing it was Luo Feng, her bright eyes darted around before she suddenly threw herself into his arms and burst into tears, wailing in a childlike voice, "Big Brother... those bad men... Xiaoyu was so scared..."

Luo Feng gave a helpless smile and comforted her, "Don’t be afraid. Big Brother has beaten all the bad guys."

"Really?" The little girl rubbed her eyes, her bright gaze fixed on Luo Feng.

"Mhm." Luo Feng nodded.

"Big Brother is so amazing!" The little girl’s tears instantly turned to smiles. But then she looked back and saw Tie Cheng lying unconscious on the ground. Her pretty face paled. "Big Brother, my father... he’s not moving! I called him for so long..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Don’t worry, your father will be fine."

Luo Feng gently patted the little girl’s head and walked over to Tie Cheng.

A young woman with a simple, pretty face was keeping vigil by Tie Cheng’s side, wiping her tears.

The little girl ran over, tugged the young woman’s sleeve, and blinking her eyes, said, "Mother, please don’t cry. Big Brother said Father will be alright."

The young woman looked at the little girl, pressed her red lips tightly together, and said nothing.

She was a Martial Artist too. Tie Cheng’s internal organs had been severely damaged by Yuan Qi. Without a third-grade healing Spirit Pill, he had no chance of survival.

However, their small Iron Lan Village didn’t even have second-grade healing Spirit Pills, let alone a third-grade one.

Standing nearby, Luo Feng observed Tie Cheng for a moment. Seeing that his breathing was still strong, he breathed a sigh of relief.

With a sweep of his finger over his storage ring, Luo Feng retrieved an azure pill and handed it to the young woman. "Have him take this."

Hearing this, the young woman turned. When she saw the pill in Luo Feng’s hand, her beautiful eyes widened slightly in astonishment, and she exclaimed, "The QingXuan Reviving Blood Dispersing Pill!"

"That’s right. This is the third-grade Spirit Pill, the QingXuan Reviving Blood Dispersing Pill. Have him take it, and he should recover in a few days," Luo Feng nodded.

The young woman stared at the Spirit Pill and said hesitantly, "Young Hero, we don’t have enough Silver to purchase such a pill."

Luo Feng placed the pill directly into her hand. "Tie Cheng and I are acquaintances. How could I take your Silver for this? Consider this pill payment for my lodging tonight. Please accept it."

Holding the Spirit Pill, the young woman suddenly bowed deeply to Luo Feng. "Thank you, Young Hero. I, Hua Lan, will never forget this act of kindness for the rest of my life!"

"Thank you, Big Brother..."

The little girl looked at Luo Feng, then imitated her mother and thanked him in her small, sweet voice.

Luo Feng shook his head with a smile. "Quickly, have him take it. Any further delay might be critical."

"Mhm."

The young woman nodded, asked the little girl to bring a bowl of water, and carefully helped Tie Cheng swallow the QingXuan Reviving Blood Dispersing Pill.

After he took the pill, an azure and crimson light flickered across Tie Cheng’s face.

A moment later, he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood and regained consciousness.

"Yu’er, Hua Lan..."

Seeing the young woman and the little girl, a tender expression appeared on Tie Cheng’s resolute face. Then, suddenly recalling something, his expression changed drastically. "Oh no! Bandits are attacking the village! Quick, tell everyone to evacuate!"

"Tie Cheng, don’t panic. Those ruffians have already been killed by Luo Feng," the young woman said, sighing in relief as Tie Cheng awoke.

"Killed? Impossible! There was an expert of the Spiritual Rotation Realm among them."

Tie Cheng frowned slightly. He looked up at Luo Feng standing nearby, then at the corpse of the bandit leader on the other side. A glint flashed in his eyes. "Luo Feng, could it be... you...?"

Luo Feng nodded. "My apologies. I had to conceal my Cultivation level before."

Tie Cheng sucked in a sharp breath, his eyes filled with profound shock.

He had clashed with those men and knew some of them were Spiritual Rotation Realm experts. For Luo Feng to be able to kill them, he undoubtedly had to be a Spiritual Rotation Realm expert himself!

To have reached the Spiritual Rotation Realm at such a young age...

His gaze flickered for a moment, then Tie Cheng said with deep emotion, "Luo Feng, it seems I truly underestimated you. There’s no need for apologies. If it weren’t for you, my family, and the entire Iron Lan Village would not have survived this night!"
