Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 513 - 511: Senior Sister, What a Senior Sister!
Donned in his teal robe, Luo Feng stood still, resembling a precipitous cliff. His seemingly calm eyes, however, gave off an illusion of boundless sharpness as he sliced the Blood-colored River Dragon in two with a single strike of his saber.
BOOM!
The Blood-colored Jiao Dragon’s body was split apart by the saber’s light. Its blood-colored Yuan Qi violently ignited like a fire and suddenly burst. Amidst the loud noise, tangible shockwaves spread out in all directions.
THUD, THUD...
Luo Feng grunted, retreating three steps. His clothes were torn, and a thin streak of fresh blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.
He actually managed to block one strike from Xue Jiuyou...
In mid-air, Shui Linglong watched Luo Feng, her beautiful eyes twinkling with intense shock.
Xue Jiuyou was a sixth-level expert in the Spiritual Rotation Realm, practicing the Ten Thousand Illusion Blood Art of the Blood Demon Sect, an extremely formidable martial art she dared not underestimate.
The power of the earlier Blood-colored Jiao Dragon had been diminished by nearly eighty percent by her Tianluo Flame Shine Art. Even so, it should theoretically have been impossible for a martial artist at the first level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm to withstand.
Seems like this lad, just as Yang Wanyi put it, holds potential comparable to Lu Xiao Yun. Given time, he might have a shot at being included in the top ten emerging dragons. Interesting...
Shui Linglong looked at Luo Feng, and a calm smile graced the corners of her rosy lips.
BOOM!
Just then, an intense explosion resonated.
Afar, the flaming mountain crumbled, transforming into endless flames that dyed the entire sky red.
WHOOSH!
A blood shadow broke through the sea of fire, fleeting out at incredible speed. Obscured within the blood light, a figure could faintly be seen—it was Xue Jiuyou.
The next moment, as the blood light faded, Xue Jiuyou’s figure emerged.
At this moment, his entire body was drenched in blood, and half of his face was burnt black, appearing utterly disheveled.
He spat out a mouthful of blood. His reddened eyes glanced at Luo Feng, his gaze flickering for a moment before he looked straight at Shui Linglong, his face grim and threatening as he said, "Shui Linglong, I, Xue Jiuyou, will remember this incident. The next time we meet, I vow to return this favor tenfold!"
"I see no need for a next time," Shui Linglong’s rosy lips slightly parted as she uttered a light remark.
In an instant, the fiery light around her body blazed. She waved her jade hand, and three humongous flaming mountains suddenly appeared.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...
The three Yuan Qi-formed flaming mountains moved in a triangular formation, rolling towards Xue Jiuyou. Everywhere they passed, the air exploded, leaving behind three long trails of flames.
Xue Jiuyou’s face darkened slightly, his eyes revealing a sense of determination. Suddenly, he slapped his chest, coughing up a large mouthful of blood.
"Blood Illusion Duplication!"
Xue Jiuyou howled, revealing his blood-stained teeth. The blood fog before him suddenly erupted with a blinding crimson light, obscuring everything within.
The next moment, the blood light suddenly exploded, shooting out hundreds of Blood Shadows in all directions.
BOOM!
The flaming mountains rushed forth, annihilating most of the Blood Shadows. Still, several Blood Shadows managed to escape through the gaps into the distance.
"Shui Linglong, till we meet again!"
The Blood Shadows were as fast as lightning, vanishing into the distant night within the blink of an eye. Only Xue Jiuyou’s cold voice remained, drifting with the wind.
"Blood Illusion Duplication..."
Looking at the direction where the Blood Shadows disappeared, Shui Linglong’s Daimei faintly knitted.
After a moment, she exhaled softly, withdrew her gaze, and, as if stepping on a streak of light, she descended gently.
She seemed to be walking leisurely in mid-air, but her speed was unimaginably fast. With just two steps, she had already reached Luo Feng.
"Why didn’t you go after him?" Luo Feng, looking at the beautiful woman before him, couldn’t help but ask.
Shui Linglong responded with a smile, displaying unparalleled charm, and said, "Xue Jiuyou has mastered the Blood Illusion Duplication technique of the Blood Demon Sect. Even I wouldn’t be able to catch him in such a short amount of time. Since he used this technique, his strength must have taken a significant toll. He won’t be able to recover for three to five years and is scarcely a threat now."
Continuing, Shui Linglong looked at Luo Feng and smiled, "Besides, if I’m not mistaken, you’re injured, aren’t you?"
Luo Feng was taken aback. Realizing she hadn’t left out of concern for him, he nodded.
Although he had managed to slice the Blood-colored Jiao Dragon earlier, the residual impact of Yuan Qi had still injured his internal organs. This was the gap in cultivation level, something that Grand Momentum and martial arts mastery couldn’t bridge.
Shui Linglong took out a scarlet pill and handed it to Luo Feng. "Take this pill. It will help heal your injuries."
Without being courteous, Luo Feng took the pill and swallowed it.
BUZZ!
As soon as the pill entered his stomach, Luo Feng immediately felt a warm sensation rising from his abdomen. His meridians felt incredibly comfortable, and the pain in his internal organs immediately lessened significantly. Although he had not fully recovered, he was already seventy to eighty percent better.
"What kind of pill is this?" Luo Feng asked, surprised.
Even the tier-three healing Spirit Pills he possessed couldn’t match this efficacy!
"It’s a tier-five Spirit Pill, the Mysterious Yang Yuan Dan."
"Mysterious Yang Yuan Dan!"
Luo Feng gasped. This was a sacred healing medicine from Linglong Hall of the Twelve Golden Palaces!
Seeing Luo Feng’s surprised expression, Shui Linglong chuckled lightly and said, "Do not be surprised; a tier-five Spirit Pill is nothing to me. Besides, you and Yang Wanyi know each other."
"Yang Wanyi..."
Luo Feng was taken aback. Looking at the beautiful woman before him, he asked, "You know me?"
"Yang Wanyi has mentioned you to me several times. Besides, in the entire Flowing Cloud Region, the only person who has comprehended Grand Momentum at such a young age is Luo Feng, the First New Talent."
Looking at Luo Feng, Shui Linglong felt somewhat emotional. "However, I didn’t expect that you’ve already stepped into the Spiritual Rotation Realm and could even block an attack from Xue Jiuyou."
Luo Feng gave a smile. Thinking of what Yang Wanyi said before she left, he couldn’t help but ask, "Senior Sister Shui, Yang Wanyi received an order from Linglong Hall to raid the Blood Demon Sect’s stronghold. How is she now?"
As Luo Feng’s words fell, Shui Linglong’s eyes narrowed slightly, an unusual gleam shooting out from her gaze. "What did you call me?"
"Senior Sister..."
Luo Feng was somewhat puzzled by Shui Linglong’s reaction. He hesitated for a moment before adding, "You and Yang Wanyi should be fellow disciples from the same sect, so I should address you as Senior Sister."
"Heh heh... ’Senior Sister,’ that sounds good!"
Shui Linglong suddenly started laughing, her laughter resembling the gurgling of a clear spring, crisp and pleasing to the ear. She looked at Luo Feng with her bright eyes and suddenly waved her hand, producing a red crystal stone.
"Now that you’ve called me ’Senior Sister,’ I can’t be stingy. I heard from Yang Wanyi that she gave you the secret manual for the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist. This fist technique requires pure Fire Yuan Qi for cultivation. This is the Red Flame Spirit Crystal Stone. It contains pure Fire Yuan Qi and should be useful to you."
"Red Flame Spirit Crystal Stone!"
Luo Feng stared wide-eyed at Shui Linglong’s right hand.
In her pale palm lay a diamond-shaped crystal stone, the size of a walnut. It was completely translucent, with a faint flame flowing within it. Even without deliberately trying to sense it, one could feel the pure Fire Yuan Qi it contained.
"Thank you, Senior Sister!"
Luo Feng urgently needed a spiritual treasure containing pure Fire Yuan Qi to cultivate the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist. Thus, he didn’t stand on ceremony, expressing his thanks as he accepted the crystal stone.
Shui Linglong nodded and suddenly spoke up, "You were asking about Yang Wanyi’s situation earlier. During this raid on the Blood Demon Sect stronghold, she fought several Demon Sect experts and was injured. She’s still recovering in Linglong Hall."
"She’s injured?"
Luo Feng furrowed his brows and quickly asked, "How serious are her injuries?"
Seeing Luo Feng’s concerned expression, Shui Linglong giggled, "You’re so nervous. Could it be you have feelings for her?"
Luo Feng stood up and said seriously, "Senior Sister Shui, please tell me, how serious are Yang Wanyi’s injuries?"
Upon hearing the urgency in Luo Feng’s voice, Shui Linglong ceased her teasing and said, "You don’t have to worry; she only sustained minor injuries. After some rest and recuperation, she should fully recover. However, she probably won’t be able to attend the Golden Palace Examination."
Hearing this, Luo Feng heaved a sigh of relief. Shui Linglong, who was by his side, looked at him and suddenly asked, "Luo Feng, what is your relationship with Yang Wanyi? I asked her once, but her answer was ambiguous."
Luo Feng touched his nose. "We’re friends."
His engagement to Yang Wanyi would inevitably need to be revealed to Yang Dingtian sooner or later, so naturally, he didn’t mention it.
"Really?"
A soft light flashed in Shui Linglong’s eyes; she didn’t seem to completely believe him. Suddenly, she waved her jade hand to the side. The air current shifted, and a red light was drawn into her hand—it was a red jade pendant.
"The Fire Qilin Jade Pendant, how did it end up here?"
Luo Feng’s clothes had been shredded when he defended against Xue Jiuyou’s strike, and the Fire Qilin Jade Pendant had fallen out. Upon seeing Shui Linglong holding the pendant, he immediately said, "Senior Sister Shui, Yang Wanyi gave me this jade pendant."
A flash of subtle surprise appeared on Shui Linglong’s pretty face. "This Fire Qilin Jade Pendant was given to you by Yang Wanyi?"
Luo Feng nodded. "Yes."
Hearing this, Shui Linglong looked at Luo Feng with a mischievous glint in her eyes. She handed the Fire Qilin Jade Pendant back to him. "This Fire Qilin Jade Pendant is greatly beneficial to martial artists who have just stepped into the Spiritual Rotation Realm; you must keep it close to your body."
"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister."
Luo Feng received the pendant and secured it on his person.
Shui Linglong watched Luo Feng, a faint smile on her extremely beautiful face.
This Fire Qilin Jade Pendant had been personally given to Yang Wanyi by Shui Linglong, so she was quite familiar with it.
The original name of this pendant wasn’t the Fire Qilin Jade Pendant but the Phoenix Qilin Luan Jade. Moreover, there wasn’t just one pendant but a pair; within a certain range, they would attract each other. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Shui Linglong hadn’t expected Yang Wanyi to give the Fire Qilin Jade Pendant to Luo Feng.
It seems that girl is also keeping things from me...
Shui Linglong laughed softly in her heart, giving Luo Feng an additional glance.
In her line of sight, Luo Feng stood with his upper body bare. Though his figure was somewhat lean, it had a streamlined quality that exuded a sense of great power. He stood casually, yet possessed the aura of a precipitous peak, like an unsheathed treasure sword, its brilliance hidden, biding its time, but ready to shock the world with a single strike!
Indeed, he’s not ordinary. No wonder that girl chose to give him the Fire Qilin Jade Pendant. But his judgment of people is too poor...
Shui Linglong remembered Luo Feng calling her ’Senior Sister,’ and a faint smile couldn’t help but touch the corners of her rosy lips.
Having safely stored the Fire Qilin Jade Pendant, Luo Feng looked at Shui Linglong and said, "Senior Sister Shui, when you return to Linglong Hall, please give Yang Wanyi my regards. Also, tell her that I will certainly live up to expectations and make it to the Martial Champion List."
"Oh?"
Shui Linglong looked surprised, a little taken aback by Luo Feng’s confidence.
The Golden Palace Examination was filled with talented individuals; making it to the Martial Champion List was no easy feat.
"I will convey your message verbatim," Shui Linglong nodded.
"Thank you, Senior Sister!"
"Alright. The alliance between the Demon Sect and the Underground Demons is no trivial matter, so I must return to report it. Junior Brother, we’ll part ways here. The Demon Sect has been rampant lately; you must be careful," Shui Linglong said.
"Alright. Senior Sister, we will meet again!" Luo Feng bade goodbye with a fist and palm salute.
Shui Linglong, floating in mid-air, looked back at Luo Feng, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Don’t worry, it won’t be long before we meet again."
WHOOSH!
As her words fell, Shui Linglong’s figure flashed, turning into a dazzling streak of light that disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
