Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 811 - 809: Demon Beasts Go Berserk

"That’s only natural. Last year’s New Dragon List competition had Senior Brother Zhuang Fei ranked thirty-seventh and Senior Brother Lu Yun ranked forty-fourth. Now, after six months, both of them have greatly improved. In the next New Dragon List competition, they will surely make it into the top thirty!"

Hearing the burly teenager’s words, another disciple of the Sky Sword Pavilion flattered.

The burly teenager observed their expressions, and seeing Zhuang Fei and Lu Yun with pleased looks, he smiled and said:

"What’s the top thirty? I think in the next New Dragon List competition, both senior brothers will definitely break into the top twenty. Becoming one of the top ten new dragons isn’t impossible either."

The top ten new dragons...

Lu Yun, with a long face, paused for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"I haven’t yet stepped into the seventh level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, so the chances are slim. However, Senior Brother Zhuang Fei is very likely to earn a spot among the top ten new dragons!"

Zhuang Fei showed no expression, but his eyes revealed a hint of longing as he waved his hand forward into the void.

Pcht!

A mysterious azure light extended out, sharp as a blade, shattering a large swath of drifting clouds ahead. Zhuang Fei said lightly:

"I will strive for a position among the top ten new dragons. But for now, let’s head to Mixed City to meet a friend."

As he mentioned this friend, Zhuang Fei’s momentum changed, and there was a sharp fierceness in his gaze.

Lu Yun glanced in the direction of Luo Feng and his group, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth, and shouted, "Let’s go!"

Gaa!

Suddenly, the Blood Jade Demon Bat opened its massive mouth, letting out a terrifying beast roar, as if a tangible sound wave spread outward, causing the sea of clouds and the forest below to shake violently.

With a burst of laughter, the Blood Jade Demon Bat took the five of them and vanished in a flash.

Roar!

The once calm mountain ranges suddenly became agitated, as birds and beasts scattered in panic. As a top-tier existence among sixth-level demon beasts, the Blood Jade Demon Bat’s aura was something that lower-level demon beasts simply couldn’t withstand.

Sizzle!

A flash of sword light, and a Bloodthirsty Black Wolf, which had rushed towards Luo Feng and his group in panic, was sliced in half. Blood sprayed, staining a large area of ground red.

After slaying the Bloodthirsty Black Wolf, Nanxuan’s beautiful eyes were wide open as she watched the direction where the Blood Jade Demon Bat had left, gritting her teeth:

"So arrogant! They’re doing it on purpose, hoping that a seventh-level demon beast will notice them. Let’s see if they dare to be so arrogant then."

Lin Yue’er also didn’t appreciate the provocations from those Sky Sword Pavilion disciples. But this was the periphery of the Liuyun Mountain Range, where only low-level demon beasts should be active, so a seventh-level demon beast was unlikely to appear.

"Senior Brother, what should we do now?" Lin Yue’er turned and asked Luo Feng.

Luo Feng looked up at the sky.

The setting sun slanted west, painting the clouds in the sky with a pale gold. Coupled with the five-colored poisonous miasma flowing between heaven and earth, it seemed brilliantly strange.

"It’s too late today. Let’s find a place to rest, and continue on our journey tomorrow."

Having crossed the Colorful Underworld River, the Yuan Qi of Lin Yue’er and the others was greatly depleted. Forcing the journey when encountering danger would be unwise.

Hearing this, Lin Yue’er nodded, opened the map she carried, and after observing the geographical environment and location on it, she said:

"The area within several hundred li around here is wild mountains. Only a hundred li to the south is there a city called Mixed City."

Luo Feng nodded, "Alright, then let’s head there to stay overnight."

Xia Yunjing remained silent. The Cold Chi Vigor technique was highly consuming of Yuan Qi, and after a fierce battle, she was drenched in sweat. She also wanted to take a good hot bath in the city, so she agreed with the decision to find a place to rest.

Bang!

Luo Feng threw a fierce punch, shattering a Green Flame Raccoon the size of a door that was pouncing out of the woods into pieces, and said, "Then let’s go."

Swoosh!

With a leap, Luo Feng’s figure rose into the air, shooting towards the southern mountain ranges.

The sound of breaking through the air was continuous as Xia Yunjing and the other four closely followed behind Luo Feng.

The mountain ranges stretched majestically, and as they went deeper, the five-colored poisonous miasma gradually thinned, but the beastly roars among the trees still shook the heart.

On a small mountain.

A large swath of trees on the mountain was broken, and on the ground, one could see shocking slash marks from swords and blades. Half of the hillside was covered with dense arrows, indicating that a thrilling battle had recently taken place here.

Roar!

In the thin mist on the hillside, constant beastly roars echoed, producing thunderous noise. Faintly visible were two demon wolves the size of houses, covered with sharp Thorn Bone Spurs, wandering in the area.

The two demon wolves were covered in scars, with the wolf on the left having three arrows stuck in its right leg. Blood continuously dripped down, and it limped as it walked, evidently severely injured.

"You can’t escape this time!"

"Hahaha, two top-tier fourth-level demon beasts, Thorn Wind Wolves. We got a big catch this time!"

"Hmm, if they have demon cores, they can sell for a lot of money!"

A large crowd surrounded the hillside, holding weapons, their faces filled with excitement as they looked at the Thorn Wind Wolves.

At the front of the crowd stood a heroic female Swordsman in a red armor. She shook the blood-stained blade and looked at the Thorn Wind Wolves, a smile tugging at her lips, and said:

"They’re already at the end of their strength. Everyone, give it your all! When we get back, I’ll reward based on merit."

"Yes!"

The crowd was excited, and an approximately fifty-year-old Martial Artist commanded: "Archers, get ready. Kill the one with the injured leg first. Thorn Wind Wolves are very fast, don’t be careless!"

Nearly twenty Martial Artists slowly advanced up the hillside, arrows already in place.

The two Thorn Wind Wolves seemed to sense the approaching danger, as their azure fur flowed without wind, and their blood-red pupils became as sinister as blood.

Just as the situation was about to explode with action.

Gaa...

A sharp, indistinct cry echoed.

The next moment.

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud...

The ground shook, distant trees toppled, producing a deafening roar.

"What’s going on?"

Everyone’s expression changed, they halted their steps and stared at the earth-shaking forest, their faces revealing shock.

"It’s not good, Demon Beasts! Protect the lady!"

The middle-aged Martial Artist squinted his eyes, suddenly his face changed drastically as he saw heads of Demon Beasts emerging from the forest, charging towards the crowd.

"Heavens, what is happening! Why are there so many Demon Beasts!"

"Watch out, they are charging over."

"Protect the lady!"

Seeing the dense mob of Demon Beasts in the forest, everyone’s face turned pale, quickly gathering together. In an instant, a rain of arrows poured down, turning the closest few Demon Beasts into porcupines.

"How could this happen..."

The young female Swordsman, her face white as a sheet, tightly bit her lip.

Roar!

One wave was not yet over, another wave arose.

On the hillside, a terrifying roar echoed, followed by the trembling earth, dust and stones flying as two streaks of green light flew towards the crowd— it was the two Thorn Wind Wolves from before.

Thud!

With a flash of green light, two unsuspecting guards were ripped apart and fell straight to the ground.

"Beasts!"

The middle-aged Captain Duan was furious, his eyes bloodshot, gripping a silver spear tightly as Qi Force wildly surged out from him.

The silver spear burst forth a purple Rage Qi nearly two yards long, instantly thrusting three times, the spear Qi leaping towards the two Thorn Wind Wolves from three different directions like an evil flood dragon at sea.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The spear Qi moved like lightning, but the Thorn Wind Wolves were astonishingly quick as well, avoiding two spear Qi altogether, only for the leg-injured Thorn Wind Wolf to take a hit, blood gushing out from a new pit on its body.

Roar!

The two Thorn Wind Wolves roared again, opening their mouths to unleash a burst of green Qi Force, piercing the bodies of several guards in succession, heading toward the young woman and the middle-aged captain in the crowd.

"Don’t let them!"

The middle-aged Captain Duan bellowed, his silver spear transformed into a silver curtain of spears, shielding the young woman behind him.

Bang!

Green light exploded, the middle-aged captain groaned, retreated several steps, and spewed a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Captain Duan!"

The young woman’s expression changed slightly, supporting the middle-aged guardian.

The middle-aged guardian took a deep breath, watching the two Thorn Wind Wolves still slaughtering, veins throbbing on his forehead, turning to the young woman with a somber expression:

"Miss, I’ll hold off these two Thorn Wind Wolves. You and the others break out and leave here quickly!"

The young woman’s face was grim, yet she shook her head resolutely, gripping her lip, "Captain Duan, I insisted on bringing you all here to Cloud Peak to hunt Demon Beasts, how can I abandon you and flee alone."

Hearing this, Captain Duan’s face showed urgency, "Miss, this is not the time for stubbornness. We’re surrounded, and these two Thorn Wind Wolves are top-tier Demon Beasts. With our strength, staying here will lead to total annihilation! As Yang Family Martial Artists, we’ve prepared for this realization. If anything happens to you, what will the Family Head and the other two ladies do!"

"But..."

The young woman, hearing the mention of her two sisters, had a flicker in her eyes. However, the thought of leaving these family Martial Artists to their fates alone was unbearable, her grip on the sword tightened, knuckles turning slightly white.

Swish!

At that moment, a Thorn Wind Wolf suddenly approached, its sharp front claws easily tearing apart a guard, lunging straight at the middle-aged guardian.

"Get lost!"

The middle-aged guardian gritted his teeth, pouring Yuan Qi hysterically into the silver spear, sweeping it out, the purple spear Qi resembling a blade, slicing through the void.

Clang!

The spear tip collided with the sharp claws, sparks flying, causing the middle-aged guardian to stagger a few steps before stabilizing, the Thorn Wind Wolf also being forced to retreat repeatedly.

"There are actually people here?"

Several figures appeared atop the hill, it was none other than Luo Feng and his party of five.

After leaving the Colorful Underworld River, the five immediately hurried through, aiming to reach Mixed City before nightfall, coincidentally passing by here.

Xia Yunjing said, "These Demon Beasts must be influenced by the Blood Jade Demon Bat’s roar, causing them to go berserk."

Roar!

As the Thorn Wind Wolf and the middle-aged guardian clashed, another Demon wolf attacked from the side, its massive body roaring in midair, a terrifying howl emitted from its bloodstained mouth, a green light transforming into a green vortex several meters thick, shooting towards the young woman.

"Miss!"

The middle-aged guardian’s face changed drastically, hurriedly reaching out to assist, but how could his speed compare to the green vortex.

Swish!

As the green vortex seemed about to tear apart the young woman, leaving her nothing but fragments, a Saber Qi descended from the sky, effortlessly shredding the vortex and leaving a terrifying slash mark over ten meters long on the ground.
