Martial Arts Overlord

A group of robust martial artists burst from the woods, each looking ferocious, surrounding Luo Feng and his companions.

Hong Shuan, the youngest of the group, grew uneasy as the fierce-looking men approached, and she instinctively stepped closer to Luo Feng.

"What do you want?" Luo Feng coldly demanded, positioning himself protectively in front of the girls.

Two individuals emerged from the crowd.

The one in front had a square face and wide ears. His burly figure was akin to an iron tower, and he carried an iron pillar half a foot in diameter on his shoulder.

The one slightly behind him was dressed in a white robe. He had a pair of narrow eyes, like a rat’s, that glinted with a sinister light.

"HAHAHAHA... Business has been poor lately, and we’re a bit strapped for cash, so we’re looking to make some silver," the square-faced brute laughed, rubbing his hands together.

Luo Feng smiled faintly. "So, it’s just this small matter."

The square-faced brute paused. He had committed highway robbery hundreds of times but had never met such a reasonable victim. After a moment’s hesitation, he snapped back to reality and gestured with his finger. "Kid, you’re sensible. Hand over everything valuable on you!"

Li Yun and Hong Shuan both looked curiously at Luo Feng.

In their impression, Luo Feng shouldn’t be such an agreeable person.

Luo Feng reached into his robes, pulled out a few taels of loose silver, and casually tossed them at the brute’s feet. "Take it. It should be enough for you to eat steamed buns for a few days."

PUFFT!

Hong Shuan couldn’t hold back her laughter. She looked at Luo Feng, thinking how he was still teasing people at a time like this.

Only then did the square-faced brute realize he had been tricked. His dark face flushed crimson. Lifting the iron pillar from his shoulder, he swung it in a circle and then slammed it fiercely into the ground!

BOOM!

A huge pit formed on the spot, and the pieces of silver were squashed flat. He pointed an accusing finger at Luo Feng and roared, "You dare to play tricks on me, kid?! Be smart and leave the Rain Heart Grass here, then scram! Otherwise, I’ll make sure you don’t leave a whole corpse behind!"

"Big Brother!"

The narrow-eyed martial artist suddenly tugged the square-faced brute’s arm and gestured with his eyes toward the area behind Luo Feng.

The square-faced brute’s gaze fell behind Luo Feng. His eyes lit up, and he roared with laughter. "I never thought I’d find such beauties in this deep mountain forest."

Licking his thick lips, the square-faced brute waved dismissively at Luo Feng. "Kid, you can scram. Leave these two little fillies. We brothers haven’t tasted meat in days; they’ll be perfect for us to vent on."

"Shameless!"

Li Yun, her face flushing with indignation, shouted.

"HAHAHA... That’s right. I am shameless. And I can be even more so. You’ll see," the square-faced brute laughed heartily.

Hearing this, the other martial artists also sneered and laughed lewdly.

"For that sentence alone, dying ten thousand times wouldn’t be enough for you all."

Luo Feng’s eyes turned cold. He slowly drew his Tiger Soul Saber, his stern gaze sweeping around, as if he were surveying a group of corpses.

The laughter came to an abrupt halt.

The moment Luo Feng’s gaze swept over them, the surrounding martial artists felt the air around them solidify, making it difficult to breathe. The hairs on their bodies stood on end.

The square-faced brute also felt his scalp tingle, but his cultivation was at the early stage of the sixth-level God Bravery Realm, so he didn’t take Luo Feng seriously at all. He growled, "Damn kid, you’re courting death! Kill him for me!"

"Big Brother, let me! This kid has delicate skin and tender flesh. He looks like some young master from a wealthy family. I love to carve the flesh off people like him piece by piece and watch their faces contort in pain."

The narrow-eyed martial artist stepped forward, drawing a glittering dagger from his waist. He locked his eyes on Luo Feng, licked the edge of the blade. With a sinister cackle, his figure flickered, and he pounced towards Luo Feng.

"Stay here," Luo Feng said to Li Yun and Hong Shuan. He executed the Teng Dragon’s Step, his figure flashing forward. In an instant, he appeared before the narrow-eyed martial artist, bringing the Tiger Soul Saber down on his head.

The narrow-eyed martial artist was taken aback by Luo Feng’s ghost-like speed. However, having spent over a decade in the martial world, he quickly recovered. A savage smile crossed his lips. He sneered coldly, his body arching slightly. The dagger in his hand met the saber’s edge, while his left hand swiftly pulled a five-pronged awl from his robes. Its dark gleam indicated it was coated with potent poison!

"Luo Feng, watch out for the hidden weapon!" Li Yun, who was watching intently, cried out in alarm.

Luo Feng snorted coldly, the force in his hand suddenly increasing!

"Overwhelming Evil Qi! Die for me!"

CRACKLE...

Under the immense force, the narrow-eyed martial artist’s dagger cracked inch by inch.

"Impossible!"

Feeling that terrifying, immense power, the narrow-eyed martial artist roared in fear and horror. He wanted to retreat rapidly, but it was too late. The Tiger Soul Saber shattered the dagger and slashed straight down to the ground!

SCHLICK!

The narrow-eyed martial artist was slashed in half before he could even finish his sentence!

Everyone couldn’t believe their eyes. The narrow-eyed martial artist, whose cultivation was at the peak of the fifth-level Iron Bone Realm, had actually been slain in a single strike by a martial artist at the mid-stage of the fifth-level Iron Bone Realm!

Luo Feng’s current cultivation was already approaching the late stage of the sixth-level God Bravery Realm. Even if he hid his cultivation, with his martial arts proficiency, killing a fifth-level Iron Bone Realm martial artist was as easy as flipping his hand!

"Chen Er! Damn you, daring to kill my man! Everyone, attack! Kill him!"

The square-faced brute’s face turned ashen. He roared madly, his eyes filled with ferocity. The muscles on his body bulged explosively. He lifted his bowl-mouthed iron pillar and charged, bringing it down on Luo Feng’s head with the force of a roaring tiger!

This iron pillar was as thick as a bowl, made of refined steel, and weighed about five hundred jin. This strike was incredibly heavy and powerful, with a force of no less than a thousand jun. The immense wind pressure scattered all the fallen leaves beneath Luo Feng’s feet.

"Senior Sister, Luo Feng seems a bit off," Hong Shuan said nervously, watching him.

Facing the square-faced brute’s ferocious attack, Luo Feng remained standing in place. He neither raised his weapon to defend nor showed any intention of retreating. He even closed his eyes!

Li Yun’s palms were also sweating coldly, but she didn’t dare make a sound to disturb him.

The square-faced brute’s cultivation had reached the sixth-level God Bravery Realm. When fighting such an expert, a moment’s distraction could be fatal!

Luo Feng closed his eyes, replaying the scene of him killing the narrow-eyed martial artist moments ago in his mind.

At that instant, a powerful feeling surged from the depths of his heart, as if something was about to burst out of his body.

This was precisely the feeling of breakthrough in the Sky Slayer Saber Technique he had been painstakingly searching for. Since it had appeared, he naturally wouldn’t let it go and immediately began to carefully ponder it in his mind.

When the square-faced brute saw Luo Feng dare to close his eyes in the face of his attack, he was infuriated and laughed ferociously, "Go to hell!"

WHINE!

The iron pillar smashed down like a comet. Just as it was about to strike Luo Feng’s head, his eyes suddenly snapped open. A strange black light, like a flame, flickered within them.

SWOOSH!

He slashed out with his saber, meeting the refined steel pillar.

This slash was devoid of technique, simple and unadorned, as if executed casually. Yet, the moment the saber’s edge neared the iron pillar, a faint layer of black brilliance erupted from the gleaming blade!

CRACK!

Before this faint black brilliance, the refined steel pillar was like tofu, torn apart from the middle!

The square-faced martial artist was greatly alarmed and hastily released the iron pillar. But he was a fraction too slow. RIP! His entire right arm was severed.

"AAGH!"

The square-faced brute cried out in pain. His eyes stared fixedly at Luo Feng, his face devoid of color. He exclaimed in shock, "That’s Saber Gang! You can actually use Saber Gang! How can someone at the mid-stage of the fifth-level Iron Bone Realm possibly wield Saber Gang! No, your cultivation!"

The square-faced brute stared intently at Luo Feng, his features contorting to the extreme. "Mid-stage of the sixth-level God Bravery Realm!"

As the Sky Slayer Saber Technique broke through to the fourth level, Luo Feng’s internal Meridian Wheel seemed to react, becoming more active. His aura leaked out, revealing his true strength.

The square-faced brute never imagined that this unremarkable-looking youth concealed such formidable strength!

If he had known earlier that the other party was a mid-stage expert of the sixth-level God Bravery Realm, he wouldn’t have dared to target Luo Feng even if he had ten thousand times the courage.

To have a sixth-level God Bravery Realm cultivation at fifteen years old undoubtedly made him a martial arts genius!

And such geniuses receive focused cultivation; their strength is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine! They are the most terrifying existences!

SWISH!

Shaking the blood from his saber’s edge, Luo Feng remained silent. His figure flashed, catching up to the square-faced brute. With a raise of his hand and a fall of his saber, he decisively slashed down.

Li Yun was the person Luo Xiao liked, and Luo Feng already considered Li Yun family in his heart.

The moment this square-faced brute uttered those foul words to Li Yun, Luo Feng had already resolved to kill him.

The square-faced brute knew he would undoubtedly die today and gave up resisting. In his final moments, his eyes held only deep regret.

He regretted that he had eyes but failed to see, provoking such a young bringer of calamity.

The other martial artists had drawn their weapons and were about to charge forward to surround Luo Feng. However, they didn’t expect their leader to be killed by the opponent in the blink of an eye. They looked at Luo Feng, their faces pale with fright, screamed, and scattered in all directions.

But Luo Feng wouldn’t give them the chance. After his recent enlightenment, he finally understood why his Sky Slayer Saber Technique had been unable to break through for so long.

The fourth level of the Sky Slayer Saber Technique involved stimulating the baleful Evil Qi within the human body to form Saber Gang. And the fastest way to strengthen this Evil Qi was to kill people.

Luo Feng had previously considered cultivating his saber technique by killing, but he couldn’t bring himself to kill innocent people.

These martial artists were all vicious and had committed countless evil deeds. If not for my superior strength, not only I, but Li Yun and Hong Shuan would have met a terrible fate today. How could I let such excellent cultivation material go to waste!

Luo Feng no longer hid his cultivation and fully unleashed the Teng Dragon’s Step.

With each bloodcurdling scream, the merciless Tiger Soul Saber reaped the life of one villain after another.

These martial artists’ strengths ranged from the third-level Cultivation Power Realm to the fourth-level Rigid-Soft Realm; they were no match for Luo Feng at all.

In the span of a dozen breaths, nearly ten men had all become dead souls under his saber!

This slaughter thoroughly stabilized Luo Feng’s Sky Slayer Saber Technique at the fourth level; his Saber Gang could now be projected three inches outward!

With the breakthrough in the Sky Slayer Saber Technique, it will be difficult for anyone within the sixth-level God Bravery Realm to be my opponent now.

Luo Feng looked at the Saber Gang on his Tiger Soul Saber, sensing the immense power hidden within it, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes.

The Sky Slayer Saber Technique at the fourth level was even more powerful than he had imagined—invincible among those at the same level!

Sheathing the Tiger Soul Saber, Luo Feng walked out of the forest and returned to Li Yun and Hong Shuan.

"It’s alright now," Luo Feng said with a smile.

Li Yun recovered from her shock and looked at Luo Feng, her gaze filled with astonishment and doubt. "Luo Feng, did you really just unleash Saber Gang?"

Li Yun was incredibly surprised. Only martial artists at the seventh-level Essence Storage Realm can control Yuan Qi. Before reaching the seventh-level Essence Storage Realm, it should be impossible to unleash Gang Qi.

"That’s right."

Luo Feng nodded and smiled. "It’s nothing. The saber technique I’m learning is somewhat special, so I can unleash Saber Gang even at the sixth-level God Bravery Realm."
