Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 526 - 524: Certain Death!

Yue Haitang felt the thick killing intent emanating from Luo Feng and approached, asking, "What exactly happened between you and Xin Chong, Luo Feng?"

"This is a grudge between him and me. You don’t need to interfere. I’ll kill this man today."

Luo Feng didn’t explain, his tone icy and merciless.

Yue Haitang watched Luo Feng’s side profile, her gaze flickering slightly. This was the first time she had ever seen such an expression on him.

"I understand. I won’t interfere." Nodding, Yue Haitang asked no more questions and stood aside, her sword in hand.

Just moments ago, Luo Feng hadn’t shown the slightest anger in the face of Wei Kuang’s provocations; he clearly wasn’t someone who acted impulsively. Yue Haitang deduced that something truly terrible must have happened for Luo Feng to harbor such murderous intent. It might even be a feud of life and death!

Elsewhere, Wei Kuang heard Xin Chong’s explanation and asked, puzzled, "A minor misunderstanding?"

Xin Chong nodded and said, "Back when we were in the Red Chain Mountain Range, Luo Feng and I discovered a Spiritual Medicine together. I originally planned to split it with him, but who would have thought he’d try to take it all for himself! When we clashed, the Spiritual Medicine was accidentally destroyed, and he’s held a grudge against me ever since. It seems he still hasn’t forgotten about it."

As he spoke, Xin Chong shook his head regretfully. "Luo Feng has comprehended the Grand Momentum, and his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. I’m afraid I’m no longer his match..."

While speaking, Xin Chong surreptitiously glanced at Wei Kuang. This lie was flawless; even Xin Chong himself admired his quick wit.

"Hmph! He’s going too far! Does he think the Sky Sword Pavilion is full of nobodies?"

"Xin Chong, don’t worry. So what if he’s comprehended the Grand Momentum? What’s so great about that? A mere Meridian Wheel Realm Martial Artist? I alone can handle him!"

"That’s right. Let’s just join forces and kill him."

The other two Sky Sword Pavilion disciples listened to Xin Chong, their faces turning extremely cold as a chill emanated from them.

Wei Kuang frowned slightly. He sensed that things probably weren’t that simple, but he didn’t want to delve deeper. Regardless of the reason, Xin Chong was his friend. If his friend was in trouble, he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. Besides, if Luo Feng killed Xin Chong right in front of him, what face would he, Wei Kuang the Wild Wind Saber, have left?

"Xin Chong, rest assured. With me here, no one can hurt you," Wei Kuang said.

"Thank you, Brother Wei Kuang!"

Xin Chong was overjoyed. With Wei Kuang making a move, success was guaranteed.

Thinking this, Xin Chong lifted his head and shot Luo Feng a slightly smug glance.

Wei Kuang turned to face Luo Feng and said directly, "Luo Feng, give me some face. Let whatever happened between you and Xin Chong be bygones. No one is to mention it again."

This was not a suggestion, but a command.

"Why should I give you face?"

Luo Feng heard Wei Kuang’s domineering tone and sneered. The man seemed to have an incredibly high opinion of himself, as if everything required his permission.

His gaze bypassing Wei Kuang, Luo Feng looked at Xin Chong, who was hiding behind him, and said with a cold laugh, "Xin Chong, no matter who comes to save you today, you will die!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing Luo Feng’s words, the expressions of the nearby Martial Artists all changed. They hadn’t expected Luo Feng to be so resolute, giving Wei Kuang no face at all! That last sentence, especially, was a naked provocation.

This person is incredibly audacious!

The people nearby couldn’t help but look at Wei Kuang, wondering how he would respond.

On the other side of the tavern, Housekeeper He squinted at Luo Feng and sneered, "Young Master, this Luo Feng is truly overestimating himself, daring to provoke Wei Kuang like that."

Xue Fei nodded. "Indeed, utterly foolish. Wei Kuang is the top expert of Long Wind School. He has slain countless enemies of higher cultivation levels, and even I am wary of his Saber Technique. Now that he has entered the Spiritual Rotation Realm, his strength is even more unfathomable."

"Looks like we’re in for a good show," Housekeeper He said with a faint smile, his gaze shifting forward, eager to see Luo Feng humiliated.

Wei Kuang’s face was grim, his eyes flickering. Given his status, speaking to Luo Feng as he had, instead of attacking immediately, was already showing great magnanimity. He hadn’t expected Luo Feng to be so stubbornly ignorant, even daring to claim that no one could save Xin Chong. This was clearly a blatant disregard for him.

Taking a deep breath, the five-foot-long saber on Wei Kuang’s back hummed as a sharp aura erupted from him. He stared coldly at Luo Feng and sneered, "What a ’you will die.’ I’ll stand right here today and see how you manage to hurt him!"

"Brother Wei Kuang, why waste words on him? Just kill him!"

"Exactly! Someone from a remote place like the Flowing Cloud Region dares to be so arrogant! If we don’t teach him a lesson, he won’t recognize his own place!"

The other two Sky Sword Pavilion disciples looked furious, glaring fiercely at Luo Feng. This was the first time they had encountered someone who dared to speak to them in such a manner.

Yue Haitang stood by, silent and observant, Yuan Qi slowly circulating within her.

Luo Feng ignored the two clamoring Sky Sword Pavilion disciples, his gaze fixed on Wei Kuang. He raised an eyebrow and snorted, "If I want to kill someone, you alone probably can’t stop me."

Veins throbbed violently on Wei Kuang’s forehead, his face contorting. "A mere Meridian Wheel Realm Martial Artist dares to boast before me! Today, you won’t even touch a single hair on Xin Chong’s head—"

CLANG!

Before Wei Kuang could finish his sentence, a piercing aura suddenly descended upon the tavern. The intense chill sent an inexplicable shiver down everyone’s spines.

At that moment, Luo Feng’s voice echoed through the tavern, "Then you’d better be ready to block!"

A cold smirk touched Luo Feng’s lips as his gaze locked onto Xin Chong, who was behind Wei Kuang. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"Slash!"

CRACK!

Thunder seemed to explode within the tavern as a brilliant saber light howled forth. From the very first move, Luo Feng unleashed his Shocking Thunder Saber Technique to its fullest, pushing his Wind-Thunder Saber Intent to the absolute limit.

The Rage Flame Knife vanished in an instant. The dazzling Thunderbolt Saber Glow, containing infinite explosive power, shot out like a bolt of lightning, parting the air wherever it passed.

As he slashed, Luo Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his wrist trembled gently.

"What kind of Saber Technique is this?!"

Feeling the terrifying saber intent, all the surrounding Martial Artists paled.

Even though they weren’t the target of the saber light, they felt a chill run through their bodies. The power contained within that attack seemed simply unstoppable.

"Hmph, such petty tricks. You dare display them before me!"

Wei Kuang sneered, the five-foot-long saber on his back sliding silently into his hand.

"Wild Wind Saber! Break!" Wei Kuang roared, Yuan Qi surging through his body as he swung the five-foot-long saber, whipping up a furious gale.

BOOM!

The two streams of Saber Qi collided, unleashing a shockwave that radiated outwards. Nearby tables were instantly shredded, and Martial Artists close by cried out in alarm as they scrambled to escape. Those who were too slow were struck by the force, sent staggering and flying, coughing up blood.

"Hahahaha... Luo Feng, it seems your boasts are more impressive than your Saber Technique! It’s merely average. I advise you to scurry off now and save yourself the humiliation!"

Wei Kuang shattered the Thunderbolt Saber Glow with a single slash. He looked at Luo Feng and roared with laughter.

"Is that so?"

A cold smirk played on Luo Feng’s lips. He stood his ground, making no further moves.

An eerie silence fell. The Martial Artists in the tavern stared wide-eyed, their gazes fixed on Wei Kuang’s back in disbelief.

"Brother Wei Kuang... Xin Chong, he..." a voice called out from the side.

Wei Kuang frowned, a sudden realization dawning on him. He whirled around, and his face instantly turned ashen.

Xin Chong stood frozen, his face a deathly gray, his eyes filled with terror and despair.

A distinct line of blood ran from his left chest to his neck. Crimson blood gushed out, dyeing his clothes red.

"Xin Chong, what happened?!" Wei Kuang’s face was rigid as he hurried to support Xin Chong.

Xin Chong grunted, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and stared at Luo Feng in horror, hissing, "You..."

Before he could utter another word, his gaze went vacant. His head lolled to one side, and he breathed his last. His eyes remained wide open, fixed in an eternal stare of disbelief.

He hadn’t expected Luo Feng to actually dare to kill him right in front of Wei Kuang and two of his fellow sect disciples!

The nearby Martial Artists stared at Xin Chong’s corpse, their gazes then all converging on Luo Feng. They hardly dared to breathe.

Xin Chong had been protected by a half-step Spiritual Rotation Realm expert and two Stage One Spiritual Rotation Realm experts. Yet, Luo Feng had still killed him under such heavy protection. How terrifying was Luo Feng’s strength?

What was even more terrifying was that no one had even seen how Xin Chong died! 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Such a fast saber!" Yue Haitang stood beside Luo Feng, glancing sideways at the young man next to her, her bright eyes glinting.

She had been closest to Luo Feng, so she had seen everything clearly.

After Luo Feng’s first slash, he had immediately followed up with a second. The second slash was so fast, it almost merged with the first, which was why no one else had noticed it.

Thinking of that second saber glow, Yue Haitang couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath. She mused that if she were to face that saber glow, what would her chances be? The answer chilled her heart: if caught off guard, she would have at most a fifty percent chance of winning!

"You hired assassins to kill me. Now that you’ve died by my saber, I trust you have no complaints."

Luo Feng looked at Xin Chong’s corpse on the ground and spoke coolly. He sheathed the Rage Flame Knife, his expression nonchalant, as if he had just done something trivial.

"Kid, you dare kill Xin Chong?! You die!"

At that moment, one of the Sky Sword Pavilion disciples regained his senses. A menacing glint flashed in his eyes. With a swift movement, he appeared three steps to Luo Feng’s side. CLANG! His sword left its sheath, transforming into a streak of cold light as he thrust it at Luo Feng.

WHOOSH!

Just as Luo Feng was about to act, a brilliant stream of Sword Qi shot out from the side, precisely intercepting the incoming sword.

TING!

The two swords clashed, erupting in a shower of sparks. The Sky Sword Pavilion disciple was forced back several steps.

"Yue Haitang!"

Looking up, the Sky Sword Pavilion disciple saw who had intervened. He frowned, his face darkening as he said, "This has nothing to do with you! You’d best not interfere! Otherwise, you’ll bring disaster upon yourself and lose your life; you’ll regret it when it’s too late!"

Faced with his aggressive glare, Yue Haitang remained calm, her wrist trembling slightly.

HUM!

The edge of her sword vibrated, scattering countless points of light like snowflakes as she positioned herself before Luo Feng. She smiled faintly and said, "Luo Feng is my friend. So, do you think this concerns me or not?"

Hearing this, Luo Feng’s gaze shifted, and he looked at Yue Haitang with some surprise.

"You!... Fine! Kid, you’ve got guts! Brother Wei Kuang, let’s the three of us team up and kill these two to avenge Xin Chong!"

The attacking Sky Sword Pavilion disciple’s face flushed red. He knew he was no match for Yue Haitang. So, he turned to Wei Kuang.
