Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 511 - 509: Two Powerful Warriors
Luo Feng reached out to take the red jade bead.
The jade bead was the size of a baby’s fist and slightly transparent. It contained a thread of golden brilliance within, twisting and turning. At first glance, it looked as if a huge red python was roiling inside.
Luo Feng carefully examined the jade bead, his gaze focusing on the golden brilliance within.
HUM!
Suddenly, a tremor arose from his heart. In that instant, Luo Feng felt as though something inside his body yearned to burst out.
"Luo Feng, this jade bead is quite beautiful, isn’t it? You can give it to a girl you like in the future," Tie Cheng said with a smile, seeing Luo Feng’s entranced gaze.
Luo Feng snapped out of his trance. When he looked at the jade bead again, the strange sensation from before was gone.
It must have been an illusion.
Muttering to himself, Luo Feng lifted his head to look at Tie Cheng and nodded. "It is very beautiful. In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony."
With that, Luo Feng put the red jade bead into his storage ring.
Tie Cheng gave a hearty laugh. "As long as you like it. I don’t have anything else to give you."
As if remembering something, Tie Cheng looked at Luo Feng and asked, "By the way, where are you planning to go now?"
"Sky Mountain," Luo Feng said, scratching his nose.
"Sky Mountain?"
Tie Cheng furrowed his brows in thought and then suggested, "Why don’t you go to Wutie Town first?"
"Wutie Town?"
"Yes." Tie Cheng nodded and continued, "Wutie Town is seven thousand li to the northwest of here. It’s a necessary stop on the way to Sky Mountain. By the time you get there, many young talents should be heading in that direction. You can use this opportunity to get a better understanding of your opponents."
"Alright."
It was the first time Luo Feng had heard of Wutie Town, and he nodded in agreement.
Tie Cheng cupped his fists. "Then, I hope we meet again. I wish you great success in the Twelve Golden Palaces’ examination."
"Thank you. I hope we meet again!"
Luo Feng bid farewell, found his direction, activated the Teng Dragon’s Step, and sped away.
Tie Cheng only felt a cool breeze rush past. When he looked ahead, there was no trace of Luo Feng on the rough mountain road.
What incredible speed!
Tie Cheng’s eyes showed surprise. He stood rooted to the spot for a moment before shaking his head and turning back to Iron Lan Village.
Luo Feng sprinted along the uneven mountain path, his speed like lightning.
After hearing Tie Cheng’s words, he decided to go to Wutie Town first.
The journey from Purple Sun School to Sky Mountain was much longer. Based on his calculations, if he went to Wutie Town now, he might encounter Bing Ruolan and the others.
「...」
The wind howled fiercely under the pitch-black night sky, dotted with countless stars.
In the boundless wasteland, the dark silhouettes of hills rose and fell. Coupled with the occasional roars of Demon Beasts, the atmosphere felt somewhat terrifying.
In a low-lying area, an orange-yellow bonfire flickered in the darkness, adding a touch of life to the eerie silence of the wasteland.
Luo Feng sat by the bonfire, leaning against a huge boulder, eating freshly roasted meat.
It had been four days since he left Iron Lan Village, heading continuously northwest.
He tore the last piece of roasted meat from the bone, popped it into his mouth, and chewed. Lifting his head to look into the distance, he muttered to himself, In another three or four days, I should reach Wutie Town. I wonder if Ruolan and the others have already arrived.
To avoid revealing his strength, he hadn’t used Aerial Flight along the way, so his speed wasn’t fast. In four days, he had covered only about half the distance.
Shaking his head, Luo Feng tossed the clean-picked bone into the bonfire, wiped his greasy hands, and walked to the side.
BANG!
Lowering his center of gravity, Luo Feng’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as he threw a punch that whistled through the air, beginning to practice the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
In the open space, Luo Feng’s figure weaved and dodged. A crimson fist aura enveloped his clenched hands. Each punch, carrying immense power, caused the air to explode repeatedly, and the fierce wind made the nearby bonfire sway uncontrollably.
As his fist technique practice neared its end, Luo Feng suddenly roared, "Great Wilderness Flame Explosion!" His figure shot up, a dazzling crimson flame erupting from his right fist. Like a Jiao Dragon emerging from the sea, he punched downwards.
HUM!
His right fist slammed hard into a two-person-high boulder, and a strong shockwave spread out in all directions.
CRACK!
Where his fist landed, the stone began to crack, and a crimson flame emerged from within.
BOOM!
Suddenly, the fist’s force exploded on the stone’s surface. A blinding pillar of fire shot up into the sky. The part of the two-person-high boulder exposed above ground was completely blasted into fine powder.
WHOOSH!
Luo Feng landed ten meters away. Looking at the shattered boulder, he restrained his aura, his brow slightly furrowed.
It’s still not enough.
He slowly exhaled. Luo Feng shook his head, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
His mastery of the Teng Dragon’s Step and Shocking Thunder Saber Technique was complete. Only the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist lagged a step behind.
During these recent days, besides his necessary Yuan Qi cultivation, he had spent any available moment practicing the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist, hoping to perfect it.
However, regardless of his efforts, he was always one step short of perfection. He just couldn’t reach the stage where his Inner Explosion of Flame Power could wound an opponent’s internal organs.
It seems that to perfect the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist, I must find other spirit items containing pure Fire Yuan Qi, Luo Feng murmured to himself, knowing that without the aid of pure Fire Yuan Qi, his fist technique couldn’t be refined any further.
After some thought, he took out a red jade pendant from his chest. It was the Fire Qilin Jade Pendant Yang Wanyi had given him.
The material of this jade pendant was Fire Qilin Spirit Jade, which contained extremely pure Fire Yuan Qi and was perfectly suited for practicing the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist.
Forget it. I’ll find another chance to look for spirit items, he decided. He recalled Yang Wanyi’s instructions to keep the jade pendant close to his body at all times and decided against using the Fire Qilin Spirit Jade.
Putting away the Fire Qilin Jade Pendant, Luo Feng calmed his mind, took a deep breath, retrieved a Second-Grade Yuan Stone, and sat cross-legged, preparing to begin his daily arduous cultivation.
Just as he closed his eyes, Luo Feng’s eyebrows twitched, and he abruptly stood up.
Such a powerful aura...
Frowning, Luo Feng casually slapped a palm towards the nearby bonfire, extinguishing it.
WHOOSH!
His figure flashed, and he hid among a pile of rocks, his gaze fixed on the eastern sky.
A moment later, two red lights appeared in the pitch-black eastern night sky.
The red lights grew larger, accompanied by deafening sonic booms. The intense glare dyed half the sky a different color.
Looking closely, he could vaguely see a figure enveloped within each red light. The two were fiercely clashing in mid-air. Each clash made the heavens and earth change color, and the tremendous sound was like a clap of thunder.
They’re so strong! These two must be at least fifth-level Spiritual Rotation Realm experts! Judging by their auras, their strength far surpasses that of Headmaster Zhou Zhiyun of Tianlan School!
Feeling the unusual Yuan Qi fluctuations generated by the clash of the two figures, Luo Feng couldn’t help but gasp, a chill running down his spine.
His Soul Power was strong, making him particularly sensitive to Yuan Qi fluctuations. With a single glance, he could clearly compare anyone to people he had previously observed. Thus, although he couldn’t see through their cultivation, he could roughly estimate their strength.
Sensing their presence, Luo Feng became even more cautious, slowing his breathing. He seemed to meld with the surrounding rocks, warily observing the two figures rapidly approaching.
The two figures seemed to move slowly but were actually incredibly fast. They clashed continuously as they moved, soon arriving directly above Luo Feng’s position.
Only then could Luo Feng clearly see their faces.
One of the red lights enveloped a woman.
She was quite young, no older than thirty, with hair like a black waterfall and an enchanting figure. A light blue dress flowed around her like water ripples. Her exquisite face remained serene even in combat, exuding an air of nobility.
This beautiful woman was pursuing the person in front of her, intent on killing them.
When Luo Feng’s gaze fell on the figure ahead, he nearly cried out in shock. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
It was none other than Xue Jiuyou, one of the "108 Demon Generals" of the Blood Demon Sect, who had suddenly appeared during the New Hero Conference!
Why is Xue Jiuyou here? And who is the woman chasing him?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Luo Feng’s mind. He became even more cautious, not daring to make the slightest sound.
Regardless of the woman’s identity, if Xue Jiuyou discovered him, it would undoubtedly mean certain doom.
Luo Feng was confident but not arrogant. Challenging Xue Jiuyou now would be courting death.
BOOM!
As the two figures reached the space above Luo Feng, the woman behind suddenly accelerated. Red light burst from her jade-like hand as she struck out at Xue Jiuyou with overwhelming power.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The palm strike seemed gentle, but it actually possessed terrifying power. Wherever her palm passed, the air shrieked as if cut by a blade, and the loose stones on the ground seemed to tremble continuously.
"Break!"
Unable to dodge, Xue Jiuyou could only choose to meet the attack head-on. With a long cry, a blinding blood-red light erupted from his body, transforming into a blood-red blade. A formidable sharp energy emanated from him as he slashed back.
BOOM!
The entire space trembled violently. The moment the blood-red blade light met the flaming palm print, endless shockwaves radiated outwards. Small pebbles on the ground were directly pulverized into fine dust, scattering with the wind.
Luo Feng, well-prepared, was hidden behind a large boulder and remained unaffected by the shockwaves.
"Xue Jiuyou, you’d best behave and stay put today," the woman in blue said, poised in mid-air. Her beautiful eyes gazed at Xue Jiuyou opposite her. Her voice was melodious and pleasant, yet beneath its calmness lay a chilling intent that couldn’t be underestimated.
Luo Feng looked at the woman in blue, momentarily stunned by her beauty, and at the same time, secretly shocked. This woman was so young, yet her aura even surpassed Xue Jiuyou’s.
Blood trickled from the corner of Xue Jiuyou’s mouth. He looked at the woman in blue, his face grim.
"Shui Linglong, I never imagined that after just three years, you’ve already reached the eighth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm!"
A tranquil smile graced Shui Linglong’s beautiful, noble face as she said leisurely, "Since you already know, you must understand that you’re no match for me. You should surrender obediently. When we return to the Hall, I can plead with the Hall Master on your behalf and ask him to spare your life."
Hearing this, Xue Jiuyou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed heartily.
"Shui Linglong, do you take me, Xue Jiuyou, for a fool? I am a disciple of the Blood Demon Sect. My hands are stained with the blood of tens of thousands. Of your Linglong Hall disciples alone, I’ve killed no less than a hundred. You want me to go with you to Linglong Hall? You must be dreaming!"
