Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 512 - 510: Unexpected Calamity, Blade Annihilates the Jiao Dragon!
Shui Linglong looked at Xue Jiuyou with her beautiful eyes and giggled, "It seems you’re not that stupid."
Only then did Xue Jiuyou realize that Shui Linglong had been playing him. He sneered, "Shui Linglong, I admit you’re powerful, but if you think you can defeat me, Xue Jiuyou, easily, you’re sadly mistaken! Furthermore, your Linglong Hall won’t be able to act recklessly for much longer. I’m not afraid to tell you, several Sect Masters of our Demon Sect have decided to form an alliance with the Underground Demons and attack the territories of hundreds of nations again. At that time, whether it’s the Canglang Dynasty or Linglong Hall, both will be reduced to ashes!"
Upon hearing these words, Shui Linglong raised her delicate eyebrows, her beautiful eyes staring at Xue Jiuyou as her voice grew colder, "So you really plan to form an alliance with the Underground Demons. I never thought that your Demon Sect would stoop so low as to make a deal with those beasts! Have you forgotten what the Underground Demons did to your Demon Sect in the past?"
Underground Demons...
Hearing their conversation, Luo Feng felt a stir in his heart. He recalled the introduction to the Underground Demons he’d heard at the academy.
The True Martial Continent was vast and limitless, and its inhabitants were not solely human. Beyond the territories of hundreds of nations, the other four major regions were home to different creatures. The Underground Demons were a peculiar species living in the Demon Realm of West Desert. These creatures lived underground and were as intelligent as humans, but their nature was ferocious, and they loved to kill. They were no different than wild beasts! Moreover, due to the influence of the Evil Qi underground, the bodies of the Underground Demons were extraordinarily robust. Even without cultivation, an adult Underground Demon would possess Seventh-level Essence Storage Realm cultivation, rendering them a formidable force.
Xue Jiuyou’s expression slightly changed upon hearing Shui Linglong’s words. Decades ago, the Underground Demons had emerged from the ground and wreaked havoc, causing significant losses to both the territories of hundreds of nations and the several Demon Sects of the Western Region.
Concealing the flicker of emotion in his eyes, Xue Jiuyou looked at Shui Linglong and sneered, "Our Sect Masters naturally have their own ways to handle this; there’s no need for you to concern yourself."
Licking his lips, Xue Jiuyou suddenly smiled, "Shui Linglong, you are a beauty. It would be a shame if you were to perish like this. I have a proposition for you. If you join our Blood Demon Sect, when we destroy Linglong Hall, we’ll even make you the Hall Master. How does that sound?"
A cold glint flashed in Shui Linglong’s bright eyes as she responded coolly, "Let’s see if you can defeat me first!"
As she finished speaking, Shui Linglong’s azure dress billowed without any wind. Her eyes seemed to be on fire, shimmering brilliantly, lighting up the night sky.
WHOOSH!
With a wave of her hand, an area a dozen zhang around her immediately transformed into a sea of fire, burning vehemently like a giant, blazing sun in mid-air, incinerating everything in its path.
So strong!
Luo Feng was inwardly shaken as he watched the peerless beauty standing amidst the sea of fire. Even from such a distance, the surging heat waves washing over him made his heart pound.
This woman’s strength is terrifying!
"Raging Sun Heavenly Wheel!"
Looking at the sea of fire, Xue Jiuyou’s face changed slightly. Raising his head to look at Shui Linglong, his eyes narrowed as he said, "Shui Linglong, I didn’t expect your Tianluo Flame Shine Art to have reached such a level that you could even display the Raging Sun Heavenly Wheel."
Shui Linglong stood in the midst of the infinite flames, exuding a unique aura. She gave Xue Jiuyou a faint smile. "There’s still time to regret it if you want to."
Reading the mockery in her words, Xue Jiuyou’s eyebrows twitched, and his small eyes smoldered with boundless rage. "Hmph, Linglong Hall’s Tianluo Flame Shine Art is indeed formidable, but do you think I, Xue Jiuyou, have no tricks up my sleeve and will simply let you slaughter me? Ten Thousand Illusion Blood!"
As he spoke, Xue Jiuyou flicked his sleeve, and instantly, layers of dense, blood-red fog enveloped him. Within the fog, blood-energy roiled, and countless grotesque skulls continuously formed and dissipated, creating an illusion of a hell on earth.
They’re about to make their move...
Watching the two figures confronting each other sharply in mid-air, Luo Feng couldn’t help but lick his lips, remaining motionless.
Both of them are at least at the Fifth Level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. That woman in blue is even an Eighth-Level Spiritual Rotation Realm expert. I’m no match for either of them. Even if the deans of the four great academies were here, they probably wouldn’t dare to act rashly.
Dark clouds swept across the sky, and the few scattered stars had vanished. Heaven and earth were devoid of light. The whole world, at this moment, seemed to consist only of the two individuals facing off in mid-air, the atmosphere inexplicably heavy.
"Blood River Annihilation!"
Xue Jiuyou struck first. With a deep shout, the blood-red light around him suddenly twisted into two massive blood rivers. Within the blood rivers, a myriad of horrors seethed with boiling blood-energy, emitting mournful wails, as if countless lonely souls and wild ghosts were crying out in anguish, sending an inexplicable chill deep into one’s heart. His icy gaze fixed on Shui Linglong, Xue Jiuyou swept his arms forward. Following his gesture, the two blood rivers, carrying an irresistible force, ruthlessly surged towards Shui Linglong.
Shui Linglong stood her ground, her beautiful face impassive, a faint flame-like light flickering within her bright eyes. "Sky Gang Chess, Transforming Mountains and Rivers, Condense!"
Slowly extending her jade-like hand, Shui Linglong’s small, rosy lips parted slightly, and she slowly uttered a few cool, clear words.
HUMMM!
The crimson sea of fire suddenly surged, and in an instant, a continuous range of undulating flame mountains erupted from the ground, stabilizing the space in all directions.
Luo Feng watched the mountain-shaped phantom beside Shui Linglong, an eyebrow raised. He had seen Yang Wanyi use the Tianluo Flame Shine Art several times, but her skill couldn’t even be mentioned in the same breath as this woman’s.
This person’s status in Linglong Hall is likely not simple.
The thought flashed through Luo Feng’s mind as he focused his attention on the sky.
These two are rarely seen experts. A battle of this earth-shattering magnitude isn’t something one can witness every day.
BANG! BANG! BANG...
The two blood rivers beside Xue Jiuyou violently surged and expanded. Within moments, they had grown to nearly ten meters wide. As they coiled and writhed, the very colors of heaven and earth seemed to change, and they slammed viciously towards Shui Linglong.
Wherever the blood rivers passed, the air boiled, and even the grass and trees below withered instantly. Startled roars echoed through the wilderness as Demon Beasts lurking nearby panicked and fled in all directions.
Shui Linglong’s gaze remained steady. Her jade-like hand formed a series of seals, then she pointed into the air.
BOOM!
The flame peak, embodying the intent realm of mountains, let out a furious, air-rending howl as it hurtled madly towards Xue Jiuyou.
The mountainous phantom and the colossal blood rivers instantly collided in the night sky.
The next moment, an intense radiance shot skyward, illuminating the entire night as if it were day. The endless darkness receded, leaving only the intertwining radiance of flames and blood-red light!
BOOM!
After the brilliant light flared, a thunderous explosion ripped through the air. The violent shockwave directly gouged a layer of earth from the ground beneath the two combatants. Luo Feng, hidden behind a massive boulder, only then managed to avoid being exposed.
The intense radiance blazed for the span of two breaths before abruptly converging.
In mid-air, the blood rivers were blasted to smithereens, transforming into a hazy blood mist. The phantom flame mountain, though more than half of it had been shattered, continued its undiminished rush towards Xue Jiuyou.
SPURT!
Xue Jiuyou’s face paled; overwhelmed, he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood. Gazing at Shui Linglong, he couldn’t suppress the horror in his heart.
Three years ago, I fought her. At that time, I was at the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, and her cultivation was comparable to mine. We battled for nearly a hundred rounds, and it was a draw. To think that after just three years, her strength has become this terrifying!
Watching Shui Linglong, a trace of sinister ruthlessness flashed across Xue Jiuyou’s face. Ignoring the whistling flame mountain peak, his mouth suddenly curled into a ferocious, cold sneer. "Shui Linglong, if you want to kill me, you’ll have to pay the price! Blood Jiao Soul Annihilation!"
With a wild roar, a bizarre, blood-red light erupted from Xue Jiuyou’s eyes. The cloud of blood mist, which had seemed about to dissipate, suddenly blazed with intense crimson light, twisting and contorting into a blood-red Jiao Dragon.
BOOM!
The Jiao Dragon’s massive, blood-colored claws, trailing a breathtaking streak of crimson light, slashed viciously down towards Shui Linglong.
SWISH!
The Jiao Dragon’s claws moved with incredible speed. Wherever they passed, the aerial sea of fire was torn asunder, and a piercing, air-rending shriek howled through the sky.
Shui Linglong hadn’t expected Xue Jiuyou to have such a move. A touch of gravity appeared on her lovely face, her eyes flickered, and her figure floated back several dozen zhang, narrowly evading the massive blood-red claw.
RUMBLE...
Having missed Shui Linglong, the massive blood-red claw didn’t slow in the slightest, instead streaking straight down through the air. Instantly, sand and stones were sent flying across the ground, as if a colossal star had plummeted into the mortal realm.
BANG!
A large rock was shattered by the fierce gust, revealing a somewhat disheveled figure behind it.
Luo Feng’s cover was blown. Staring at the blood-red Jiao Dragon crashing down from the sky, he couldn’t help but curse internally, Damn it!
I did my best to stay clear of their battle zone, but I never thought my luck would be so rotten as to get dragged into this! This is a completely undeserved calamity!
Huh? Someone’s there!
Shui Linglong, having evaded the blood-red Jiao Dragon’s attack, was preparing to strike and eliminate Xue Jiuyou completely when she noticed Luo Feng’s sudden appearance and paused, momentarily stunned.
I never imagined someone could evade my senses and hide nearby! She was inwardly astounded.
This young man is in danger...
Seeing Luo Feng, Shui Linglong frowned. She bit her red lip, and with a flash in her bright eyes, she abandoned her attack on Xue Jiuyou. Her water-blue figure transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the blood-red Jiao Dragon, intending to save him.
I won’t make it in time...
Shui Linglong was swift, but unfortunately, the blood-red Jiao Dragon was swifter. It looked as if its massive blood-red claw was about to obliterate Luo Feng.
At this critical moment, a clear and resonant voice suddenly echoed through the entire space.
"The Grand Momentum as a Saber!"
The blood-red Jiao Dragon was an attack from Xue Jiuyou, an expert at the Fifth Level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. Sensing the terrifying energy contained within the Jiao Dragon, Luo Feng dared not be careless in the slightest. He pushed his body’s Yuan Qi to its utmost limit. A massive saber shadow materialized behind him, so dense it was almost tangible, its sharp aura radiating in all directions.
That’s Grand Momentum! And it has already reached the state of From Illusion to Reality! Could this young man be...
Shui Linglong halted. With her discerning eyes, she instantly recognized the extraordinary nature of the Saber Technique Luo Feng executed. A flicker of amazement and shock passed through her beautiful eyes.
SWISH!
Luo Feng poured his entire mind and spirit into his Rage Flame Knife and unleashed a mighty slash. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
BOOM!
The immense saber light, like a mountain of blades radiating a terrifying sharpness, fiercely struck the blood-red Jiao Dragon, severing both its claws in one blow.
So powerful! He truly lives up to the name of one of the 108 Blood Demon Generals...
Luo Feng was inwardly awestruck. He hadn’t expected that Xue Jiuyou, despite being severely injured, could launch a final counterattack with such devastating power.
This is bad! His cultivation level is too low...
When Shui Linglong saw the blood-red Jiao Dragon, despite its front claws being severed, continue its charge towards Luo Feng with undiminished force, her lovely face paled slightly, her expression turning grim. She had already guessed Luo Feng’s identity and was even more reluctant to simply watch him perish.
However, she was too far away. Though her heart ached with anxiety, she was powerless to help, unable to step in and defend him.
Just as Shui Linglong thought Luo Feng was about to die, the Rage Flame Knife in his hand suddenly trembled, and its blade vanished into thin air in an instant.
"Astonishing Thunder! Break!"
CRACKLE!
A thunderclap resounded as a dazzlingly bright saber beam shot out at an unbelievable speed.
BOOM!
The saber beam condensed into a single line, like a bolt of lightning, whistling forth with the force of a mountain as it decisively cleaved the blood-red Jiao Dragon in two!
