Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 539 - 537: The Six Great Marquis’s Mansions: Qingyun Mansion!
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
The saber gleam tore the blue water vortex apart. Water droplets shot towards the ground like a barrage of cannonballs, blasting deep, shocking pits into the earth.
With the Rage Flame Knife in hand, Luo Feng was enveloped by a curtain of brilliant saber light that shredded any approaching water droplets.
"That kid actually blocked Big Brother’s Water Cloud Cyclone Kill!"
Yue Haitang and the lean Martial Artist both practiced Fast Sword. For a short while, neither could gain an advantage over the other. While the lean Martial Artist fought, his attention remained on Luo Feng and Scarface. Seeing Luo Feng slice open the Water Cloud Cyclone with a single strike shocked him to his core.
Even he wasn’t fully confident he could withstand the Water Cloud Cyclone Kill. Yet a mere Spiritual Rotation Realm Level One Martial Artist had emerged unscathed!
Sensing the lean Martial Artist’s offensive slowing, Yue Haitang couldn’t help but glance over.
In her vision, Luo Feng stood amidst a blue mist, like a solitary, thousand-zhang peak. Though grounded, he gave the illusion of overlooking the world, creating the oppressive feeling one would experience when facing a peerless saber expert.
This is his true strength. His understanding of the Grand Momentum is no accident...
Yue Haitang’s bright eyes sparkled, this scene deeply etching itself into her mind.
"Die!"
Seeing Yue Haitang distracted, a cold glint flashed in the lean Martial Artist’s eyes. In an instant, he thrust his sword three times. Pale purple Sword Qi tore through the air as it soared outwards.
HUM!
Yue Haitang was prepared. Unflustered, she swept her Red Dragon Purple Gold Sword, creating a field of cold sword light that blocked the purple Sword Qi.
"Let’s see how long you can last! ’Purple Blood Wind!’"
The lean Martial Artist found Luo Feng to possess unexpectedly strong skills. Worried about the unpredictable situation, he wanted to end the fight quickly. He wielded his precious sword like an untamed stallion or a ferocious Jiao Dragon from the sea, stabbing out furiously.
In an instant, raging purple Sword Qi crisscrossed, forming a great net that completely engulfed Yue Haitang.
Yue Haitang’s gaze hardened. A sharp aura emanated from her, her tied-up hair fluttering in the wind. She held the Red Dragon Purple Gold Sword horizontally before her.
"’Flying Moon Penetrating the Clouds!’"
Yue Haitang’s Chaotic Moon Cloud Dance Sword Technique was a high-ranked Profound Level Swordsmanship. It was not only fast but also exceedingly powerful, capable of switching between extreme speed and devastating killing moves, making it unstoppable.
WHOOSH!
With a swift thrust of the Red Dragon Purple Gold Sword, a cold sword gleam formed a large, crescent moon-shaped arc. Radiating an boundless sharp Qi, it charged into the purple Sword Qi.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
For a moment, the clearing was filled with raging Sword Qi that obscured both figures. Only the horrific slash marks, appearing continuously, were visible.
"Damn it!"
On the other side of the woods, seeing Luo Feng withstand the Water Cloud Cyclone Kill, Scarface’s eyes burned with furious flames, his murderous intent intensified.
He would never allow himself to be bested by a Spiritual Rotation Realm Level One Martial Artist. At this moment, obtaining the Sword Heart Heaven Jade was secondary; his only thought was to kill Luo Feng!
HUM!
Gritting his teeth, Scarface once again unleashed the Water Cloud Cyclone Kill. This time, the water vortex was more than double its previous size, stirring the air and forming a gale that rustled the trees within a hundred-foot radius.
"Die for me!"
With a wave of Scarface’s hand, the water vortex, like a giant spinning blade, hurtled towards Luo Feng with an incredibly terrifying aura.
Luo Feng stood unmoving as a mountain, his Saber Intent growing even more intense as he unleashed three consecutive slashes.
CRACKLE!
The saber gleam was as swift as the wind and fierce as lightning, seemingly capable of shattering the void. It repeatedly struck the water vortex formed by condensed Yuan Qi. Each impact sent violent tremors through the vortex. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
However, this Water Cloud Cyclone Kill was unleashed with Scarface’s full power, and its might was not to be underestimated. After three slashes, the vortex hadn’t collapsed. It merely slowed slightly as it whistled towards Luo Feng.
Luo Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. His opponent was, after all, a Spiritual Rotation Realm Level Two master and could not be taken lightly.
"’Skyfall Thunder.’"
Just as he was about to use his Saber Technique to destroy the water vortex, Scarface, opposite him, suddenly roared.
"You damned brat, you’re ten years too early to dream of defeating me!"
Scarface bellowed, then stomped his foot hard. Blue water flowed around his body, coalescing into a blue Jiao Dragon with vicious claws and fierce eyes.
With the Jiao Dragon empowering him, Scarface’s speed reached its limit. Catching up to the water vortex, his right fist, now transformed into the Jiao Dragon’s claw, shot out.
"Die!"
"Not necessarily!"
Luo Feng’s gaze was cold and composed. He stepped back a pace, a crimson flame igniting in his eyes, and threw a punch.
"’Great Wilderness Flame Explosion!’"
As his Yuan Qi surged, Luo Feng’s sharp aura transformed into one of boundless dominance. His right fist emanated a dazzling crimson light as majestic Yuan Qi poured forth with his punch.
BOOM!
The remaining water vortex instantly exploded as Luo Feng’s crimson fist clashed with Scarface’s blue one. The impact sent out shockwaves that scraped a foot of earth from the surrounding ground.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
Luo Feng retreated three steps to maintain his balance, while Scarface stumbled back two.
"Damn it! This is infuriating!"
Scarface cursed. His previous attack had been a planned killing blow, yet he had only gained a slight upper hand and achieved nothing substantial. The opponent was clearly only a Spiritual Rotation Realm Level One Martial Artist, but his Yuan Qi was unbelievably potent.
"It seems this is the extent of your abilities. Now, I’ll give you a chance. Tell me, who sent you?" Luo Feng looked at Scarface and asked coldly.
"You court death! After I kill you and feed your corpse to the fish in the Cangyuan River, let’s see if you still dare to spout such arrogance! Mad Jiao Break!"
Scarface let out a long howl and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blood mist didn’t disperse but merged into the blue Jiao Dragon. Instantly, an unprecedented wave of Evil Qi surged from the evil Jiao Dragon.
This was a self-harming move from the Hydro Transporting Body Enhancing Technique, capable of temporarily increasing the power of one’s martial arts by thirty percent.
Once this technique was used, the user would also be injured. It was a brutal martial art, injuring the enemy by one hundred but oneself by eight hundred. It was a last resort, not to be used unless absolutely necessary.
However, for the sake of victory, Scarface could no longer afford to care about such consequences.
BOOM!
Stomping hard enough to crack the ground, Scarface, fierce as a tiger, charged toward Luo Feng, his fist imbued with the power of the wicked Jiao Dragon.
The Mad Jiao roared. Layers of air exploded in its path, and the sheer force of its passage began to crack the ground, showcasing its tremendous power.
As the fist’s power bore down on him, Luo Feng’s clothes whipped about wildly. He too could feel the extraordinary might of this punch.
"Then let’s see whose fist technique is superior!"
Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng’s body surged with roiling Yuan Qi, his aura climbing with each passing moment. The skin on his right fist turned bright red, like a searing hot iron.
Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame, Inner Explosion of Flame Power!
Pushing his Yuan Qi to its absolute limit, Luo Feng unleashed the strongest strike of the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist. The friction of his fist against the air made it seem as if it would ignite.
BANG!
The crimson fist brutally slammed into the head of the blue Jiao Dragon.
Luo Feng and Scarface froze, a vicious killing intent flaring in both their eyes simultaneously.
In the next instant, two sharp cries rang out: "Explode!" "Explode!"
BOOM!
Followed by the blue Jiao Dragon erupting from its core. The sound of the explosion boomed twice.
A figure was flung dozens of meters away—it was Scarface.
SPLAT!
At this moment, Scarface’s face was deathly pale as he spewed a large mouthful of blood. His right hand was completely gone, exposing the white bone of his shoulder, blood streaming from the wound.
Luo Feng stood his ground, blood trickling from his nose and the corners of his mouth, yet he remained bolt upright, exuding a domineering aura.
"’Impossible! How could you have broken my Mad Jiao Break?’"
Scarface, enduring excruciating pain, stared at Luo Feng, his eyes wide with disbelief. His pupils were filled with a profound shock and a fear that would not fade.
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Luo Feng’s still faintly crimson fist, and his eyes narrowed. "’Inner Explosion of Flame Power... Don’t tell me you’ve cultivated the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist to the Perfection Realm?’"
"You do have some discernment."
Luo Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and chuckled coldly, though he too felt a tremor of shock inwardly.
The force of his opponent’s exploding fist had been unprecedentedly powerful. If his Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist hadn’t reached the Inner Explosion of Flame Power stage, and if he hadn’t managed to reflect most of the impact, they would have undoubtedly destroyed each other.
Hearing Luo Feng’s admission, Scarface’s body trembled.
The Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist was a Profound Level, middle-grade martial art! For Luo Feng to cultivate it to the Perfection Realm at his age... what terrifying comprehension!
Seeing Luo Feng walk towards him step by step, Scarface’s heart pounded violently.
"Second Brother, let’s go!"
Enduring the intense pain, Scarface launched himself into the air, rocketing south, not daring to linger a moment longer.
"Trying to escape?"
Luo Feng smiled coldly, his Rage Flame Knife slashing through the air.
SPLAT!
A massive saber gleam flashed across the sky above the forest. Scarface’s body stiffened mid-air, blood sprayed, and he was cleaved in two, his remains plummeting to the ground.
"Big Brother!"
Seeing Scarface bisected by the saber strike, the lean Martial Artist couldn’t believe his eyes.
Apart from his Qinggong, Scarface was stronger than him. If they were to fight, he would undoubtedly lose within twenty moves. Yet now, Scarface had been slain by a mere Spiritual Rotation Realm Level One Martial Artist!
"’Starry Moon!’"
Seeing her opponent distracted, Yue Haitang seized the opportunity. Her sword transformed into a dense shower of starlight, exuding an icy chill as it shot forward.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The lean Martial Artist was, after all, a Spiritual Rotation Realm Level Two Martial Artist and possessed commendable Light Martial Arts. Faced with the dense barrage of sword light, he remained composed. His body moved like a slippery fish, weaving through the attacks. Apart from a small nick on his sleeve from the sword light, he was completely unharmed.
"Yue Haitang, Luo Feng, you’re dead!"
The lean Martial Artist escaped the range of the Sword Qi, his cold eyes glaring fixedly at Luo Feng and Yue Haitang.
"You talk too much."
Luo Feng snorted coldly, swinging his Rage Flame Knife.
BOOM!
A saber gleam several meters high shot straight forward.
WHOOSH!
The lean Martial Artist’s expression flickered. He executed his movement technique and narrowly avoided the saber gleam.
Although the saber gleam hadn’t struck him directly, the lean Martial Artist was still rattled by its sharp aura, his blood roiling. Scared out of his wits, he dared not linger. His figure shot up from the ground and fled into the distance. In the span of a breath, he had already escaped several thousand meters, his speed was incredible.
Hmm?
Luo Feng hadn’t expected the man to be able to dodge his saber gleam. He was about to give chase when Yue Haitang stopped him.
"Luo Feng, don’t pursue a desperate foe."
Luo Feng halted, frowning. "But we still don’t know who they are."
Yue Haitang shook her head and walked over to Scarface’s corpse.
Looking at the body, Yue Haitang’s eyes flickered.
A dignified Spiritual Rotation Realm Level Two Martial Artist had died, just like that. And Luo Feng was the one who had killed him.
Stealing a glance at Luo Feng, Yue Haitang took a shallow breath, flicked her wrist, and the tip of her sword pried a green token from Scarface’s chest.
"’This is the Azure Cloud Order of the Imperial City’s Yi Family. They are from the Yi Family,’ Yue Haitang said, looking at the token in her hand."
"The Imperial City’s Yi Family? The Azure Cloud Order, could it be..."
Seeing the azure cloud pattern on the token, Luo Feng’s eyes flashed.
Yue Haitang nodded and said slowly, "Yes, they are from one of the Imperial City’s six great Marquis’s Mansions, the Qingyun Mansion."
