Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 768 - 766: Unexpected Windfall

Luo Feng stood tall in the night sky, his robes fluttering. He seemed like an unsheathed sword, a sharp weapon ready for battle.

This is Spirit and Flesh Unity...

Thousands of meters away in the Chaotic Rock Forest, Xueyuan, a disciple of the Blood Demon Sect, stared at Luo Feng’s silhouette, his face devoid of color. His hands, gripping his Blood Moon Crescent Blade, trembled slightly.

He had watched Xue Wu Qing and Luo Feng clash, expecting them to be mutually crippled. He had intended to then step in, kill them both, and reap the rewards.

But in an instant, Xue Wu Qing was decapitated, meeting a miserable end, while Luo Feng was unharmed. The sight caused even the cold-blooded Xueyuan’s heart to tremble. He admitted to himself that had he been hit by Xue Wu Qing’s Cold Invading Palm, he too wouldn’t have survived unscathed.

Swallowing hard, Xueyuan thought, This Luo Feng, despite his tender age, has not only grasped the Grand Momentum but also cultivated Spirit and Flesh Unity. His victory over Xue Wu Qing is truly terrifying! This matter must be reported to the Blood Saber Demon General immediately. We need the Demon General to personally eliminate him before he becomes an even greater threat.

Xueyuan dared not linger. He composed himself and, circulating his Yuan Qi, prepared to leave.

"How does tonight’s moonlight look?"

Just then, a clear voice echoed from the side.

Xueyuan’s mind jolted. He turned his gaze toward the sound, his eyes nearly popping out in shock.

The dense clouds had dispersed during the previous conflict. Clear moonlight now rained down, elongating the silhouette of a young figure.

Unbeknownst to him, Luo Feng had appeared in the sky above the Chaotic Rock Forest. His bright eyes radiated brilliance as he looked down at Xueyuan. With the full moon behind him, his casual gaze held a quality that could send chills down one’s spine.

"When did you..."

Xueyuan gasped in surprise, not daring to delay. He gripped his Blood Moon Crescent Blade tightly, his body brimming with Yuan Qi, ready to launch an attack.

SWISH!

But it was Luo Feng who struck first.

With a single slash of his blade, Luo Feng unleashed a crimson Saber Qi that cut through the air at a frightening speed, hitting Xueyuan’s left shoulder in an instant.

"Blood-Soaked Mania!"

Xueyuan’s eyes turned red as he roared, a strange ripple emanating from his body.

BOOM!

The rock forest within a radius of a hundred meters shattered instantly. A bizarre blood light emanated from the depths of Xueyuan’s flesh, blocking the astonishing Saber Qi.

CRASH!

With a loud noise, the immense Saber Qi was eradicated. Xueyuan was sent flying back over ten meters, blood spraying from the fissures in his body like arrows. He had transformed into a blood man, an incredibly terrifying sight.

"You brat, I’ll fight you to the death!"

Xueyuan knew that escaping without killing Luo Feng was a pipe dream. He looked up at Luo Feng, his eyes shooting out two sharp beams of blood-colored light as a savage and bloodthirsty aura exploded from within him.

"Blood Demon Fist!"

With a furious roar, Xueyuan clenched his right fist and threw a punch at Luo Feng.

In the instant he threw his punch, a blood-red Demon Avatar a hundred feet tall manifested behind him. Blood-red light suffused the area, covering the entire rock forest. The Demon Avatar also threw a punch, intending to crush Luo Feng and the very space around him into pulp.

Luo Feng’s eyes flickered. He wanted to test the maximum power of Spirit and Flesh Unity and did not attempt to dodge.

"Step of Sky-Burning Monarch!"

Luo Feng stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his body surging with fire. His calm eyes radiated an immensely terrifying and domineering spirit, as if he were the emperor of the Eight Wastelands. His aura soared continuously, carrying with it a dazzling celestial flame as he took a step.

The next moment, a thunderous explosion, as if originating from the ninth heaven, suddenly erupted. An intense shockwave, like a tidal wave, spread out, instantly turning the entire rocky forest into dust. Half the mountain vanished, leaving behind a massive crater over a hundred feet wide.

CRACK!

The blood-red Demon Avatar was the first to shatter.

"No!"

Xueyuan’s features twisted in anguish as he desperately tried to activate his Blood-Soaked Mania. His body surged with blood qi, trying to block the terrifying blow.

But it was too late.

CRACKLE...

As Luo Feng descended, large cracks began to appear on Xueyuan’s skin. His entire arm then exploded. His body was compressed smaller and smaller by the overwhelming Yuan Qi. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but before any sound could escape, he burst into a cloud of blood with a POP, leaving no trace of his existence.

It was a pity. Xueyuan was the top expert under the Blood Saber Demon General and had held sway in the martial world for decades. He was responsible for the deaths of countless martial artists from hundreds of territories, yet he died here today.

I never expected that after attaining Spirit and Flesh Unity, the power of the Step of Sky-Burning Monarch could actually climb to this level.

Luo Feng stopped, looking at the collapsed mountain below, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He had only mastered the Step of Sky-Burning Monarch up to the Flame Realm. In terms of power, it was inherently weaker than the Perfect-Ten Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber. However, the strike just now had been just as powerful.

After a moment of contemplation, Luo Feng understood. The Step of Sky-Burning Monarch was essentially a Horizontal Practice. Cultivating Spirit and Flesh Unity was akin to sharpening his fists and feet, naturally making them unstoppable.

Letting out a breath, Luo Feng reached out his right hand and clenched his fingers.

SWISH!

A vortex of air formed a mini-tornado. A storage ring lying on the ground shot up, landing in Luo Feng’s hand.

The ring was light purple, reflecting a faint, cold light under the moonlight. There were, however, a few cracks on its surface.

Luo Feng frowned slightly. He directed his Soul Power into the storage ring and, sensing it wasn’t damaged, finally let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it’s a second-grade storage ring. If it were a first-grade one, it would have been completely destroyed...

With a faint smile, Luo Feng opened the space within the storage ring.

Tch! For the captain of the First Squad of the Blood Saber Guards, his possessions are rather sparse...

After inspecting the contents of the storage ring, Luo Feng’s face showed a trace of disdain.

In the three-cubic-meter space of the second-grade storage ring, there were only some miscellaneous pills. Many of these pills had a bloody aura, and Luo Feng didn’t dare to take them recklessly, rendering them useless.

In addition, there was a box of second-grade Yuan Stones, some first-grade Yuan Stones, gold, silver, treasures, weapons, and Demon Cores.

Luo Feng made a rough calculation: the total value of these items was only four to five thousand second-grade Yuan Stones.

Well, even though it’s not a treasure trove, it does solve my immediate problem...

Shaking his head, Luo Feng showed a helpless smile.

Qing Ling was at a critical moment in her cultivation. When Luo Feng had left Azure Sky City, he had given most of his Yuan Stones and the Flame Fruit to Yingkui. Now, he only had just over a thousand second-grade Yuan Stones left, which could only sustain his cultivation for half a month at most.

Huh, what is this?

After counting his loot, Luo Feng was about to put the storage ring away when his mind suddenly stirred.

In a corner of the ring’s space lay a map. It showed the Canglang Dynasty and the nearby Dali Dynasty, with many locations marked in red.

Luo Feng took the map out from the storage ring and examined it carefully.

This is where Cang Nanyue and I discovered the Demon Sect’s base... 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Fixing his gaze on a red circle, Luo Feng’s eyebrows twitched, his eyes flickering slightly. Could this map be...

As the captain of the First Squad of the Blood Saber Demon General’s Blood Saber Guards, Xueyuan wouldn’t have paid so much attention to an ordinary map.

After some thought, Luo Feng carefully stored the map away. If his speculation was correct, this map was extraordinary and could potentially stir up significant upheaval in the neighboring dynasties.

WHOOSH!

In a flash, Luo Feng appeared next to Xue Wu Qing’s corpse. With a wave of his hand, he took the storage ring from the body and muttered to himself, "Hopefully, this one won’t disappoint me."

Taking a breath, Luo Feng infiltrated the storage ring with his Soul Power.

"Not bad. It was worth the risk I took to kill you," Luo Feng said, a smile emerging on his face after a moment.

In Xue Wu Qing’s ring space, there were more than a dozen large boxes, as well as rows of shelves.

The large boxes were filled with Spirit Stones, mainly second-grade Yuan Stones. Luo Feng even found a small box of extremely precious third-grade Yuan Stones!

On the shelves were piles of pills and precious materials, along with a few secret manuals. Among them was even a Profound Level manual, though it wasn’t suitable for Luo Feng’s cultivation.

Luo Feng estimated that there were forty to fifty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones in the storage ring. Including the other items, their total value approached one hundred thousand second-grade Yuan Stones—a true fortune!

Who would have thought this guy would be so rich? This is a windfall for me.

At this moment, Luo Feng couldn’t hide his joy. He was currently poor and penniless. A fortune of one hundred thousand second-grade Yuan Stones was an incredible windfall. With this wealth, he wouldn’t have to worry about Yuan Stones for the time being and could focus on his cultivation.

Lifting his head, Luo Feng glanced at the surrounding mountain range, now ruined beyond recognition, and mused, "The fight was so loud; many people probably noticed. If more Demon Sect disciples show up, it will be troublesome. I should leave here first."

Luo Feng was about to destroy Xue Wu Qing’s corpse to eliminate any traces and then leave when...

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

At that moment, several figures shot towards his location. Four of them moved very quickly. The one in the lead was especially fast, a streak of green light like a rainbow, covering several hundred meters in an instant, dazzlingly beautiful.

"Who’s there?!"

The figure was still miles away when a cold voice rang out.

The crisp voice fell upon his ears like a sword strike, making one shudder. It demonstrated an extremely high level of Sword Dao cultivation; her very presence could shake a person’s spirit.

Seeing someone approaching, Luo Feng was initially a bit nervous. But upon hearing the voice, he let out a sigh of relief and called out loudly, "Luo Feng, disciple of Linglong Hall."

"Senior Brother Luo Feng! Is that Senior Brother Luo Feng ahead? I’m Lin Yue’er."

"Hehe, it really is Senior Brother Luo Feng! And you all were saying it was some Demon Sect expert..."

As the sound of melodious laughter drew closer, a fragrant breeze swept by, and several graceful figures landed before Luo Feng. It was Ling Qingwu and the others.

"Senior Brother Luo Feng, what are you doing here? You scared me just now..."

Nanxuan, the liveliest of the group, trotted up to Luo Feng, giggling as she spoke. She even playfully patted her slightly developed chest.

"Xue Wu Qing!"

Before Luo Feng could speak, Ling Qingwu, standing beside him, suddenly noticed Xue Wu Qing’s corpse, and her eyebrows shot up.

"Ah! A dead body!"

"Elder Xue Wu Qing from Floating Snow Hall!"

"How did he die here?"

The other girls also noticed Xue Wu Qing’s corpse and gasped. Nanxuan, terrified, hugged Luo Feng’s arm tightly, her face pale.

Ling Qingwu was the first to calm down. After glancing at Xue Wu Qing’s wounds, her clear eyes met Luo Feng’s. "Luo Feng, did you kill him?"
