Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 767 - 765: I Told You, You Wouldn’t Understand
"You want to kill people to silence them about your shameful acts?"
Facing Xue Wu Qing’s intimidating gaze, Luo Feng remained unfazed, drew his Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber, and said, "Unfortunately, I fear you don’t have the strength for it."
Xue Wu Qing’s face sank upon hearing his intentions laid bare, veins throbbing on his forehead as he stared at Luo Feng and said disdainfully, "What a joke! Do you think I’m as easy to deal with as Yi Tian?"
Luo Feng glanced at Xue Wu Qing and shook his head, saying, "If you were in your prime, I wouldn’t be your match. However, you just took a full-blown hit from Xueyuan and are now injured. I’m afraid you can’t even unleash sixty percent of your power."
Hearing this, Xue Wu Qing’s eyebrows knitted slightly. Xueyuan’s strike had indeed injured him severely, and he could now only unleash fifty percent of his power. He had no idea how Luo Feng knew this so clearly.
"So what?" Not caring too much, Xue Wu Qing locked eyes with Luo Feng and burst into laughter, saying, "Killing you is as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs! Ten percent of my strength is enough. When I cut off your head and present it to Shui Linglong, I wonder what her expression will be when she sees the head of the disciple she personally chose."
Xue Wu Qing wanted to kill Luo Feng quickly, then chase after Xueyuan to eliminate him for good. Without wasting any more words, he stepped forward, a frigid blizzard surging around him.
"Tianhan Mysterious Wind Sword!"
The moment he attacked, Xue Wu Qing unleashed the Tianhan Mysterious Dark Sword technique. Within a hundred-zhang radius, the cold wind intensified, sharp as knives, tearing through the air with a sizzling sound.
SLASH!
As Xue Wu Qing swung his sword, a huge Sword Qi, wreathed in snow and wind, shot towards Luo Feng.
As the Sword Qi approached, Luo Feng felt a chill permeate his entire body. He immediately circulated his Yuan Qi, and a wave of heat surged through his flesh and blood, completely dispelling the cold that had invaded him.
"Nine Suns White Flame Saber!"
Gripping the Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber, a sharp light flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes as he unleashed the Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber Technique.
SWOOSH!
A gigantic white blade flashed in the void, meeting the snowy Sword Qi.
SIZZLE...
The searing Saber Gang vaporized the snow and wind, and a white fog enveloped a hundred-zhang area, making it difficult to discern the situation within.
WHOOSH!
Xue Wu Qing furrowed his brows slightly and waved his palm. A violent gust from his palm dispersed the surrounding water vapor. Staring at an unscathed Luo Feng, his face darkened as he said, enunciating each word, "Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber Technique!"
Although I can only exert forty to fifty percent of my strength, my Tianhan Mysterious Dark Sword is a Profound Level top-tier Martial Art, unparalleled in power. My previous attack would have severely injured any Martial Artist at the early Sixth Layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, yet Luo Feng actually blocked it! After much thought, Xue Wu Qing could only consider one possibility: the Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber Technique.
The Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber Technique contained fiery power. Once cultivated to the tenth layer, it could incinerate a Martial Artist’s Gang Qi. Its might was no less than a Profound Level top-tier Martial Art, and it just so happened to counter his Tianhan Mysterious Dark Sword.
「Thousands of meters away, in a Chaotic Rock Forest.」
Xueyuan stood in the shadows of the Chaotic Rock Forest, looking at the two confronting figures in the distance with a somewhat surprised expression.
Although Xue Wu Qing is injured, he should still possess the strength of the early Sixth Layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. This young man can actually block Xue Wu Qing’s Tianhan Mysterious Dark Sword. This child is truly worthy of being hailed as a genius who has achieved miracles, defeating high-ranking masters on the New Dragon List.
Looking at Luo Feng, Xueyuan’s gaze flickered.
He had originally planned to leave, but, unwilling to resign himself to it, he had returned.
Xue Wu Qing is a Golden Palace Elder, and Luo Feng is a burgeoning genius of the Canglang Dynasty. If he matures, he could very likely become a great enemy of the Demon Sect. Plus, he has offended the Blood Saber Demon General. If I can bring back the head of either of them, it would be a great merit.
This youngster named Luo Feng seems to possess formidable strength. This is perfect. I’ll wait until they’ve fought each other to the brink of death, then I’ll step in to collect their heads...
Xueyuan licked his lips and retreated deeper into the shadows, his eyes flickering in the darkness with a sinister, cold light, glinting with cruelty.
Watching Xue Wu Qing’s expression, Luo Feng flicked the edge of his blade and said with a faint smile, "That’s right. This is indeed the Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber Technique to which you lost against Shui Linglong. Xue Wu Qing, I bet you never imagined you’d one day fall to this very saber technique. This is what they call ’reaping what you sow.’ You have no one to blame but yourself for this fate."
"You’re courting death!"
Xue Wu Qing regarded this matter as a profound humiliation. Hearing Luo Feng mention it now, he erupted in fury. A fierce, cold wind suddenly swirled around him, emitting a mournful howl.
"Snow Seals Thousands of Mountains!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Xue Wu Qing swung his precious sword, and dense waves of icy Sword Qi rushed mercilessly toward Luo Feng. Although its power was much weaker than before, it was still extremely terrifying.
The chilling current formed by the Sword Qi coalesced into something like a miniature glacier, spreading out. Wherever it passed, the air crackled as moisture and dust instantly froze.
In an instant, Luo Feng felt a wave of intense chill hit his face, and a layer of frost began to form on his eyebrows and hair.
However, Luo Feng was not alarmed. He had cultivated to the point of Spirit and Flesh Unity and possessed formidable physical strength; this level of cold was nothing to him. His body merely trembled slightly, his vital energy surged like a rainbow throughout his body, and strands of warmth spread through him, leaving him unaffected by the encroaching chill.
"Golden Crow Annihilation Slash!"
Dispelling the cold, Luo Feng’s gaze sharpened. Ten golden suns appeared in the void behind him. Gripping his saber with both hands, he slashed straight down.
KREE!
Amidst a clear cry, the ten golden suns transformed into a Three-legged Golden Crow. It carried roaring heat waves that burned the air, illuminating half the night sky, and met the Sword Qi’s cold current in mid-air.
BOOM!
Instantly, the entire space boiled violently. The sky turned a dazzling mixture of red and white. The Sword Qi continuously struck the Three-legged Golden Crow, only to be instantly ground away without a trace, leaving only wisps of steam, until even the faintest wisp vanished completely.
Is that the power of a Martial Artist at the peak Fifth Layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm? Xueyuan looked horrified, as if he could hardly believe his own eyes.
He had only heard of Luo Feng’s battle with Yi Tian. This was his first time seeing Luo Feng in action, and his strength was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
This brat must not be allowed to live! Xueyuan’s face grew darker.
HISS! HISS! HISS! HISS!
The Sword Qi kept striking the Three-legged Golden Crow, sending out ripples of shockwaves. The intense impact utterly pulverized the already ravaged mountain peaks below, carving out a snow-covered valley hundreds of zhang wide and completely altering the landscape.
How is this possible? Back then, he only narrowly defeated Yi Tian. How can he possess such strength now? Xue Wu Qing was utterly astonished, staring at Luo Feng as if looking at a monster.
During the decisive battle on Phoenix Soaring Mountain, Luo Feng’s strength had barely allowed him to contend with Martial Artists of the Sixth Layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. But now, Xue Wu Qing felt as if he were dueling a true Martial Artist of the Sixth Layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, one whose strength had even surpassed the early Sixth Layer.
And it had only been a few short days since that decisive battle...
WHOOSH!
With a glint in his eye, Xue Wu Qing abandoned his swordsmanship. His figure flashed, breaking through the mist as he advanced towards Luo Feng.
Xue Wu Qing is indeed crafty. He knows to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. Luo Feng is probably going to lose... Seeing this from a distance, Xueyuan couldn’t help but nod.
However abundant Luo Feng’s Yuan Qi might be, he was still only a Martial Artist of the Fifth Layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. His physical capabilities paled in comparison to Xue Wu Qing, who was at the Seventh Layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.
Furthermore, Xue Wu Qing was proficient not only in swordsmanship but also had deep attainments in palm techniques. Luo Feng, on the other hand, was merely a Saber man. With this disparity, Xue Wu Qing would undoubtedly hold the advantage in close combat.
With this in mind, Xueyuan glanced at Luo Feng and was slightly startled.
He had assumed Luo Feng would use Qinggong to evade Xue Wu Qing, but what happened was unexpected.
Luo Feng stood his ground, neither retreating nor dodging, as if waiting for Xue Wu Qing to approach.
"Die! Cold Invading Palm!"
Xue Wu Qing let out a hearty laugh, thinking Luo Feng had lost his mind to want to face him head-on. He dropped his defenses, drove his Yuan Qi to its absolute limit, and a vortex of wind and snow swirled around him as his right palm pressed down through the air.
CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!
The wind and snow fused into Xue Wu Qing’s Palm Gang. Instantly, a bone-chilling, snow-colored palm materialized, its icy aura even more piercing than before. It pressed down, intending to freeze everything in its path to death.
He wants to risk his life against me? Seeing Xue Wu Qing abandon all defense, Luo Feng let out a cold snort. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as they narrowed and widened; his coiled fist, radiating a blinding fiery glow, shot out fiercely.
BOOM!
The instant Xue Wu Qing’s right palm struck Luo Feng’s shoulder, Luo Feng’s fist also slammed into his chest.
Immediately, the clear sound of cracking bone rang out. Xue Wu Qing spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body blown back nearly a hundred meters in mid-air.
COUGH...
Spewing another mouthful of blood, Xue Wu Qing’s face drained to a deathly pallor, his body on the brink of collapse. Luo Feng’s fist power was even more terrifying than he had imagined; that single punch had even injured his meridians. The moment he tried to circulate his Yuan Qi, excruciating pain shot through his body.
Stabilizing himself, Xue Wu Qing looked up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a savage grin spread across his face.
Ahead, Luo Feng was encased in a layer of Mysterious Ice, transformed into a lifelike ice sculpture.
"Kid, you’re still too inexperienced."
Xue Wu Qing snorted coldly, a smug look in his eyes.
Just then—
BANG!
With a deafening blast, the ice crystals exploded from the center, erupting into a flurry of ice and snow.
"Impossible!"
Watching the figure emerge from the swirling snow, Xue Wu Qing’s eyes bulged in shock.
Luo Feng walked out of the snowstorm. A tremor ran through his body, and the layer of frost covering him instantly shattered and fell away. He stared at Xue Wu Qing and sneered, "Xue Wu Qing, what’s with that expression?"
"How are you still alive!" Xue Wu Qing looked as if he’d seen a ghost, his face turning ashen.
"Why?" Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, looked at Xue Wu Qing, and said calmly, "Alright, I’ll let you die understanding."
BOOM!
As his voice fell, Luo Feng’s entire demeanor changed dramatically. An immense aura burst from his body, and a faint, surging sound emanated from within him, as if a massive river were coursing through his being. Faint strands of pale gold light flickered on the surface of his skin. Though he stood there casually, he seemed like a thousand-zhang high precipice, as stable and immovable as Mount Tai.
"Spirit and Flesh Unity!" Xue Wu Qing sucked in a sharp breath of cold air, staring intently at Luo Feng, he exclaimed, "You’ve actually mastered Spirit and Flesh Unity! How is this possible? You’re only a Saber man! How could you have mastered Spirit and Flesh Unity, a state that even Body Tempering Martial Artists dream of achieving? Impossible! Absolutely..."
SLICE!
Before he could finish speaking, a flash of saber light swept across, decapitating him.
"A short-sighted person like you wouldn’t understand even if I told you."
Luo Feng’s gaze was indifferent.
