Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 555 - 553: Fame from a Single Battle

"Luo Feng, I originally planned to settle accounts with you during the Twelve Golden Palace Assessment. I didn’t expect you to come here seeking your own death!"

On the martial arts stage, Xue Fei crossed his arms. An unusually dynamic airflow surrounded his body, creating a fierce wind. His clothes flapped loudly, as if he stood amidst a raging storm.

While gales stirred around the stage, the area within two meters of Luo Feng was completely calm. He looked at Xue Fei indifferently and said, "Whether I live or die will only be known after we fight. Let’s get started!"

Xue Fei’s eye twitched, and a cruel smile curved his lips. You still dare to talk tough? Just wait until you fall before all these people. Let’s see how you manage to step down then!

"In that case, let’s see if you can handle my kick!"

Xue Fei let out a cry, and his body suddenly leaped into the air. A sharp intent exploded from within him. His right leg, swung like a blade, forced the surrounding air to part.

"Such powerful momentum! That’s the opening move of the Waning Moon Leg Technique from the Blue Moon Territory!"

"The Waning Moon Leg Technique is one of the most formidable leg techniques at the Bluemoon School in the Blue Moon Territory. Its characteristics are rigidity and dominance. Coupled with Xue Fei’s Heavy Mountain Skill, they complement each other perfectly, making them virtually unstoppable."

"Xue Fei’s leg force can form a half-moon; his Martial Arts accomplishments are significant. Even a Martial Artist at the first level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm would find it hard to withstand. Luo Feng is likely to lose..."

In the audience, everyone watched Xue Fei in mid-air, their eyes wide with shock.

On the west side of the martial arena stood a tower.

On the top floor of the tower was a pavilion. Within it, a delicate figure sat on a wicker chair, her hand propping up her cheek, watching the two figures on the martial arts stage with keen interest.

THUMP. THUMP. THUMP...

Just then, footsteps sounded at the entrance of the stairway, and a young man with a sword ascended the tower.

The young man approached the young woman beside him. Glancing at Luo Feng on the martial stage, he said with a disdainful smile, "This Luo Feng has no real ability, but he certainly is bold, daring to challenge Stone Man Xue Fei on the martial stage."

The young woman sitting beside him was Ye Siyi, known as ’Fragrance Without Shadow,’ the foremost among the top ten young experts. Hearing his voice, she frowned slightly, her rosy lips pursing lightly. "Liu Changfeng, do you think Luo Feng will lose?"

Liu Changfeng nodded. "Of course. The Heavy Mountain Skill and Waning Moon Leg Technique practiced by Stone Man Xue Fei are far from simple. He already has the strength to contend with the top ten young experts. I doubt Luo Feng can even withstand a single kick."

Ye Siyi looked towards the martial stage, at the figure standing unmoving amidst the violent wind. She shook her head slightly. "My views are exactly the opposite of yours."

"You think Luo Feng will win?" Liu Changfeng frowned.

Ye Siyi didn’t respond, her silence implying agreement.

This is impossible... A hint of coldness appeared on Liu Changfeng’s handsome face.

"Waning Moon Like Knife!"

Above the martial stage, Xue Fei roared as his right leg slashed down.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

As his leg slashed down, a massive leg shadow, shaped like a half-moon, descended upon Luo Feng. Its fierce momentum, like a thunderous roar, caused the entire martial stage to tremble slightly, as if it might collapse at any moment.

"Bring it on!"

Luo Feng stood amidst the violent wind, unmoving as a mountain. A sharp light glinted in his pupils as he stepped forward, his right fist erupting with a crimson glow.

"Tyrant Flame Return Wind!"

An intense crimson flame burst forth on the stage, transforming into a giant fiery tornado that met Xue Fei’s slashing leg force head-on.

WHOOSH...

Rolling heat waves washed over the young experts in the audience, who could feel the scorching blast.

「The next moment!」

A thunderous explosion erupted on the stage. The intense shockwave caused the surrounding space to tremble, and both the Waning Moon Leg’s force and the flame dissipated without a trace.

"Luo Feng actually blocked Xue Fei’s Waning Moon Leg Technique!"

"Incredible! He’s also a Martial Artist at the first level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm! When did the Flowing Cloud Region produce such an expert?"

Most people in the audience were shocked. Very few people knew that Luo Feng had broken through to the Spiritual Rotation Realm. Now, witnessing his sudden breakthrough, many were stunned into silence before they could react, exchanging bewildered glances.

After all, for a Martial Artist of his young age to break through to the Spiritual Rotation Realm was an outstanding achievement in the entire Six Southern Domains.

"Interesting!"

Wei Kuang, known as the Wild Wind Saber, stared fixedly at Luo Feng, a cold smile spreading across his face.

Seeing Luo Feng break through to the Spiritual Rotation Realm, he was actually somewhat pleased. This way, at least he hadn’t lost to a Martial Artist of the Meridian Wheel Realm, which saved him some face.

Xue Fei landed on the martial arts stage, looked at Luo Feng, his gaze growing even colder. "No wonder you dared to challenge me! So, you’ve also broken through to the Spiritual Rotation Realm. You hid your strength very well!"

Luo Feng smiled bitterly. His current power was actually sufficient to defeat Xue Fei in a single move. However, the Twelve Golden Palace Assessment had not yet begun, and the appearance of Yi Tian, the Princely Heir of Qingyun Mansion, also made him cautious. He didn’t want to reveal too much of his strength yet.

After taking a breath, Luo Feng looked at Xue Fei and said, "Admit defeat. You’re no match for me."

Xue Fei raised an eyebrow and laughed coldly. "Ridiculous! Once we’re on the martial stage, one of us must fall! Luo Feng, don’t think that breaking through to the Spiritual Rotation Realm makes you my equal. I haven’t even used my full strength yet!"

"Profound Weight Qi Field!"

BOOM!

Xue Fei’s Yuan Qi surged throughout his body. The air around him distorted violently, forming a glittering, dazzling crystal mountain shadow dozens of feet tall.

"His Heavy Mountain Skill has reached such a level! Xue Fei has truly cultivated it to Great Accomplishment!"

Among the audience, a keen-eyed Martial Artist recognized the extraordinary nature of the Profound Weight Qi Field Xue Fei was displaying.

The Heavy Mountain Skill is an extremely powerful mid-Profound Level Martial Art from the Bluemoon School. For an ordinary Martial Artist, cultivating a mid-Profound Level Martial Art even to Small Success is very challenging. However, Xue Fei’s Heavy Mountain Skill had reached the ’Qi Field Like a Mountain’ stage of the Great Achievement Realm. This enhanced its power by at least thirty percent! He was not to be underestimated.

The student from Long Wind School, who had previously been forced to kneel by Xue Fei’s Profound Weight Qi Field, now had a deathly pale face. He hadn’t expected Xue Fei’s strength to be so formidable.

"This battle is so unpredictable. No one knows who will win..."

Watching the figures on the martial arts stage, everyone held their breath, afraid of missing any crucial moment.

"Luo Feng, prepare to be defeated!"

With his Profound Weight Qi Field active, Xue Fei’s momentum reached its peak. However, he didn’t underestimate Luo Feng and unleashed his full strength from the outset.

With a heavy stomp, Xue Fei’s figure soared from the ground. The crystal mountain shadow infused into his leg technique, making him appear like a towering, treacherous peak, possessing the power to suppress the very earth.

"Moon Shadow Mountains and Rivers!"

He roared, unleashing dozens of kicks in rapid succession.

In an instant, the entire sky filled with the radiant, crescent moon shadows of his kicks. These shadows, fused with the Profound Weight Qi Field, created an intent realm of shattering mountains and collapsing rivers, pressing down fiercely upon Luo Feng.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

The air was pierced, layer by layer. Even before the leg shadows landed, the stage began to crack, fissures spreading rapidly as if this entire space was about to be annihilated.

Everyone was overwhelmed by this terrifying momentum. Among the thousands present, not a sound was made; their entire focus was captivated by the storm of leg shadows filling the sky.

Luo Feng stood beneath the barrage of leg shadows, expressionless. He shook his head faintly, and the Rage Flame Knife appeared silently in his hand.

"Break!"

Without any superfluous movements, Luo Feng slashed out with his blade, employing the Mad Thunder Overturning Sky technique from his Shocking Thunder Saber Technique.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

A deafening crackle echoed as a thick beam of saber light surged towards the sky. It twisted and roiled like a monstrous thunder serpent, rushing straight towards Xue Fei.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

The saber light was incredibly sharp. Along its path, all the leg shadows exploded layer by layer, offering no resistance. Its sharpness was unstoppable.

Xue Fei’s expression changed drastically. Yuan Qi surged wildly around his body. Crisp cracking sounds emanated from the crystal mountain shadow, which reflected the sunlight as if it had solidified.

Seeing Luo Feng’s powerful saber technique, the surrounding young talents, who had initially thought Xue Fei unbeatable, now saw he still had hidden strength. They began to doubt whether the Saber Gang could break Xue Fei’s Profound Weight Qi Field.

BOOM!

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, the saber light ruthlessly slashed onto the crystal mountain shadow.

With a flash of cold light, the crystal mountain shadow was violently split open. A half-foot-long gash appeared on Xue Fei’s right arm. He spurted blood and was sent flying backward.

CLANG!

Luo Feng sheathed his Rage Flame Knife. Looking at Xue Fei, who lay on the ground, he said with an unreadable expression, "You’ve lost."

Hearing this, Xue Fei’s face stiffened. His fists clenched tightly, and his eyes flashed with bitter unwillingness.

He had gone into seclusion for three months. Under the guidance of his father, the City Lord of Flame Sand City, he had finally broken through to the Spiritual Rotation Realm. He had even cultivated the Profound Weight Qi Field of his Heavy Mountain Skill to the Great Achievement Realm. He had assumed he would surely defeat Luo Feng and avenge his previous humiliation when they met again. Who would have expected that his proud Profound Weight Qi Field couldn’t even withstand a single strike from Luo Feng? The blow to his pride was immense.

"Young Master..."

Seeing Xue Fei injured, Housekeeper He was horrified and rushed onto the martial arts stage. After confirming Xue Fei’s injuries were not severe, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Turning to Luo Feng, profound fear etched on his face, Housekeeper He suddenly knelt on one knee. "Thank you, Young Master Luo Feng, for showing mercy!" he said.

In a battle on the martial arts stage, life and death were one’s own responsibility. If Luo Feng had been more ruthless, Xue Fei would likely have been beheaded. If Xue Fei had died, he, as his guardian, would not have been able to escape responsibility! At this moment, all of Housekeeper He’s previous dissatisfaction with Luo Feng vanished like smoke. Apart from gratitude, only fear remained.

"Conduct yourselves well."

Luo Feng waved dismissively, uttered these few words, and then stepped off the martial arts stage.

His dispute with Xue Fei was merely a clash of pride; there was no reason to kill indiscriminately.

The nearby young talents stared at Luo Feng, their faces etched with shock. As he approached, not one of them dared to speak.

"Ruolan, let’s go."

Luo Feng paid no mind to the surrounding gazes and walked over to Bing Ruolan. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Bing Ruolan snapped out of her stupor, her beautiful eyes regarding Luo Feng with a hint of surprise. Although she knew Luo Feng was strong, she was still shocked that he had defeated the somewhat renowned Xue Fei in just two or three moves.

"Alright."

Smiling, she nodded, and the two of them left the square side by side.

Everyone watched them leave, remaining stunned for a long time.

"This year’s Martial Champion rankings are bound to have some surprises." Finally, a sword-wielding Martial Artist sighed.

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

Stone Man Xue Fei was one of the favorites for the Martial Champion rankings, aside from the top ten young experts. Even for those among the top ten young experts not in the top five, defeating him would not have been easy. Yet, Luo Feng had defeated him in just two moves...
