Martial Arts Overlord

Thirty-four teams rushed out of the training grounds, with the Li Family’s team taking the lead, charging at the very front.

"Big Brother, when do we teach those Luo Family people a lesson? I want to personally slaughter that kid, Luo Feng!"

Once out of the training grounds, the murderous intent radiating from Li Tianyang could no longer be concealed. It erupted violently, like a fierce wolf, causing the surrounding Li Family disciples to shudder.

Li Tianyao glanced back, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, then calmly shook his head. "Second Brother, be patient. Although the Luo Family’s team isn’t much, they still possess some strength. We must first hunt enough Demon Beasts to secure our position as the Number One Family before making other plans. Otherwise, if we suffer an unexpected setback, allowing the Feng Family or the Han Clan to seize the title of Number One Family, that would be troublesome."

Li Tianyang knew Li Tianyao was right. He nodded, his icy gaze sweeping towards the rear, landing on Luo Feng, and he snorted heavily.

"Hmph! Then let him live a few more hours! Let’s go!"

Steeling himself, Li Tianyang urged the other Li Family disciples to their fastest speed, and they raced towards the Black Cloud Mountain Range like the wind.

"Second Brother, that Li Tianyang seems to have murderous intentions towards you. They will likely try to attack us during the Hunting Championship. We need to be careful," Luo Xiao said to Luo Feng beside him.

Luo Feng nodded. However, compared to the solemnity in Luo Xiao’s eyes, his own were filled with anticipation.

The Hunting Championship permits combat between teams. The Li Family is strong and will certainly gather many Demon Beast materials. If we can seize the Demon Beast materials from the Li Family, no one will be able to shake the Luo Family’s position as the Number One Family!

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind... Li Tianyang, I look forward to our next encounter.

Watching the Li Family’s team gradually recede into the distance, Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, a profound smile appearing on his face.

With Luo Feng’s Qinggong cultivation, reaching the Black Cloud Mountain Range would only take him two hours. However, the Luo Family’s team members varied in strength, so Luo Feng had to slow down to move with everyone.

「By afternoon」

Luo Feng and the others finally arrived at the Black Cloud Mountain Range.

The Black Cloud Mountain Range, located within the Black Moon Forest, stretched for thousands of miles and was perpetually shrouded in grey fog. Hidden within its depths were countless poisonous pools, sheer cliffs, marshes, and various powerful Demon Beasts. It was renowned as one of the Black Moon Forest’s most treacherous regions!

The hunting ground for the Hunting Championship was within a Baili range on the outskirts of the Black Cloud Mountain Range. In this area, the most powerful Demon Beasts were merely peak Level Two Demon Beasts, equivalent to peak Sixth Stage God Bravery Realm Martial Artists. For the participating teams, this was neither an easy challenge nor an insurmountable one.

Upon entering the Black Cloud Mountain Range, the team immediately slowed their pace and began hunting Demon Beasts.

Towering ancient trees grew throughout the mountain range, obscuring the sky. Combined with the grey fog, the light within the forest was extremely dim, and the air was thick with the stench of decay.

The team trekked slowly through the forest. After advancing several miles, they finally encountered their first Demon Beast.

This Demon Beast was three meters tall and nearly six meters long, resembling a wild boar. Its entire body was covered in cold, gleaming serrations, and two crescent-shaped tusks protruded from its mouth. Its fist-sized pupils shone with an eerie red light.

"It’s a Mad Blood Pig, a high-rank Level Two Demon Beast! Everyone, spread out and surround it!"

With a wave of Luo Xiao’s hand, everyone immediately understood their roles. They drew their weapons and began to encircle the beast step by step.

Luo Feng couldn’t wait. He strode forward directly. "Stand back, let me handle this!"

With a leap, Luo Feng pounced. His Tiger Soul Saber, carrying immense wind pressure, slashed straight down!

"Young Master Luo Feng, be careful!"

Seeing Luo Feng charge out alone, the others jumped in fright.

A Mad Blood Pig’s strength was equivalent to a peak Fifth Stage Iron Bone Realm expert. Furthermore, its blood-red serrations were not only sharp but also extremely hard; ordinary swords and knives could hardly wound it! A single collision could heavily injure even an early Sixth Stage God Bravery Realm Martial Artist!

Luo Feng, who was only in the late Fifth Stage of the Iron Bone Realm, how could he possibly be a match for the Mad Blood Pig?

However, just as their cries of alarm sounded, a blade flashed. With a loud BOOM, the earth trembled. The Mad Blood Pig’s enormous body, as if struck by a giant hammer, slammed flat onto the ground. Its millstone-sized head rolled to one side with a thud.

The other Luo Family disciples witnessing this were all dumbfounded.

The Mad Blood Pig’s hide was tough, and it had few weaknesses, making it one of the more difficult high-rank Level Two Demon Beasts to deal with. Even an early Sixth Stage God Bravery Realm expert would have to expend considerable effort to slay it.

Yet Luo Feng, with a seemingly casual slash of his saber, had killed it cleanly and decisively, instantly and without any wasted motion. It was simply unbelievable!

"Quick, gather the materials! Don’t waste time," Luo Feng said, sheathing his Tiger Soul Saber and urging them on with a wave of his hand.

"Yes!"

Everyone finally snapped back to their senses. They gave Luo Feng an astonished glance, and several Martial Artists stepped forward, skillfully cutting a piece from a blood-red tusk of the Mad Blood Pig.

"Impressive, Second Brother! Even I would have had to struggle to take down this Mad Blood Pig, yet you finished it with a single strike," Luo Xiao said, walking over and looking at the Mad Blood Pig’s carcass with admiration.

Luo Feng smiled. "The Mad Blood Pig’s characteristic is its sturdy defense. My strength is extraordinary, so defeating it wasn’t too difficult."

Luo Xiao nodded, believing him.

The first couple of times, the others didn’t think much of it, simply assuming it was a coincidence.

However, when nearly ten Demon Beasts had been effortlessly slain by Luo Feng with a single slash each, the way the other Luo Family disciples looked at Luo Feng completely changed! Their initial astonishment transformed into adoration.

Even Luo Xiao began to look at Luo Feng with a somewhat peculiar expression.

Among these ten Demon Beasts was a high-rank Level Two Demon Beast, an Azure Cloud Python!

The Azure Cloud Python’s strength was not inferior to an early Sixth Stage Iron Bone Realm Martial Artist. Yet, the moment its head emerged from the canopy, before anyone else could react, Luo Feng had struck, felling it with a single slash of his saber!

Beyond their shock, an unprecedented fervor lit up in everyone’s eyes.

At this hunting speed, the Luo Family truly might surpass the Li Family and become the Number One Family!

「An afternoon passed」

The ten of them, having fought continuously for several hours, rested in a forest clearing.

The Luo Family disciples gathered together, discussing excitedly. The events of the day had been too bizarre and shocking.

In just one afternoon, they had hunted a total of twenty-three Demon Beasts!

What was most astounding was that all these Demon Beasts had been killed by Luo Feng alone, and each with a single, fatal blow!

"I haven’t even drawn my sword all afternoon. It’s really frustrating," one Luo Family disciple said with a wry smile, glancing at Luo Feng who stood in the distance.

"Hehe, I never expected Young Master Luo Feng to be this strong. Zheng Yuan’s defeat at his hands was truly not unjust."

Several others nearby nodded in agreement, their eyes, as they looked at Luo Feng, shining with worship.

Luo Feng was the youngest among them, yet his strength was clearly outstanding. The image of him casually brandishing his saber to slay Demon Beasts was deeply etched into everyone’s minds, and no one remained unconvinced of his prowess.

"To have killed twenty-three Demon Beasts already... at this rate, by noon tomorrow, we should be able to kill nearly a hundred! This speed is truly terrifying," one person exclaimed.

"Can we surpass the Li Family?" another Luo Family disciple, his gaze steady, suddenly asked.

The excited chatter abruptly died down.

Thanks to Luo Feng, their Demon Beast hunting speed was indeed impressive, but the Li Family’s team was also strong. Whether they could win was still an unknown.

"Second Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Luo Xiao walked over to Luo Feng and said with a smile, "You really gave me a shock today. I truly don’t know where the limit of your strength lies."

Luo Feng gazed into the depths of the Black Cloud Mountain Range and sighed. "Only twenty-three Demon Beasts in an entire afternoon. The speed is too slow... Elder Brother, do you think we can surpass the Li Family at this pace?"

Luo Xiao’s expression turned serious. He thought for a moment and said, "The Li Family is ahead of us, so they have access to the most Demon Beast resources, giving them an advantage. However, our speed of killing Demon Beasts is definitely faster than theirs. So, the chances of winning should be about fifty-fifty."

"Fifty-fifty odds..."

Luo Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. A glint flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head decisively. That is far from enough!
