Martial Arts Overlord

The streets were already devoid of pedestrians.

Everyone was so frightened of being caught up in the blood feud between the Luo Family and the Li Family, two of the Four Great Clans, that they all hid inside their homes, daring not to venture out.

Leading eleven riders, Luo Feng moved with lightning speed and intensity, his steed galloping straight towards the Luo Family estate.

Upon reaching the western part of the city, he heard the resounding echoes of battle from afar, the war cries shaking the heavens.

They’ve already started fighting!

Luo Feng, his heart boiling with rage, turned to those following him and said, "I’m going ahead! You follow as quickly as you can!"

"Young Master, be careful!"

The eleven Luo Family guards had just cried out when they noticed only Luo Feng’s steed ahead; Luo Feng himself had vanished without a trace, leaving them momentarily stunned.

With the Tiger Soul Saber in hand, Luo Feng pushed his Teng Dragon’s Step to its absolute limit. Eight Qi Dragons roared and swirled around him as he covered a hundred meters in an instant. Traversing street after street, he soon spotted the Luo Mansion’s main gate in the distance.

At this moment, hundreds of people were clashing in a chaotic battle in the square outside the Luo Mansion’s main gate!

The Luo Family had only about a hundred guards, while the Li Family had allied with the Han Family and the Qiu Family—two mid-tier powers in Panlong City. Their combined forces exceeded two hundred!

For a time, their resistance was incredibly difficult, and it seemed the main gate could be breached at any moment.

Luotian was in closed-door cultivation, leaving only Luo Xiao and Yang Qing at home.

Wielding a sharp sword, Luo Xiao stood before the main gate, confronting the numerous experts from the three major families.

However, the situation remained perilous.

"Li Yantian! The victor of yesterday’s hunting competition was already decided! For you to go back on your word and launch a sneak attack like this—aren’t you afraid of what people will say? I doubt even City Lord Yang Dingtian of Dayang City will spare you!" Luo Xiao, his face smeared with blood, stared coldly at Li Yantian and the others in the distance as he shouted.

Upon hearing Luo Xiao, Han Tie, the Han Family Head, and Qiu Bichi, the Qiu Family Head, who stood beside Li Yantian, both showed a flicker of apprehension. They, too, felt uncertain about this attack on the Luo Family.

Li Yantian smirked coldly, waved his hand, and declared sharply, "Family Heads, don’t listen to his nonsense. The City Lord’s Mansion sets the standard for the city; it belongs to those who are capable. If we break through the Luo Family’s defenses today, it will only prove they are unfit to hold such a crucial position! I’m sure City Lord Yang Dingtian will have nothing to say then."

"I’ve received word that Luotian is in seclusion, having consumed a Guixu Pill. If he successfully breaks through, none of us will be his match! This little bastard is just stalling for time!"

An arrow, once nocked and loosed, cannot be recalled. Hearing Li Yantian, Han Tie and Qiu Bichi’s eyes flashed with a cold glint.

Han Tie, a burly, barrel-chested middle-aged man, roared in a deep voice, "Good! We have no path of retreat now! Let’s kill this little bastard first! Everyone, charge! Leave no one alive!"

At his furious roar, nearly three hundred Martial Artists from the three families roared in response. Like a torrent of savage beasts, they charged the Luo Mansion, clashing fiercely with the Luo Family’s experts.

"Hold them back! They absolutely cannot break through! Once the Family Head emerges successfully from his cultivation, we’ll make them pay for this in blood!" Luo Xiao roared, his gaze somber as he watched the ferocious onslaught of the three families’ Martial Artists, shaking the fresh blood from his sword.

Li Tianyao watched Luo Xiao defending the Luo Family gate, constantly slaying their clan’s Martial Artists. His pupils, like deep pools, glinted coldly. Concealing himself behind several warriors, he gradually drew nearer. When he was five meters away, he gave a cold snort and drew his sword. The sharp blade flashed forth like a streak of lightning.

"Luo Xiao, die!"

Just as Luo Xiao slew a Li Family Martial Artist, he saw Li Tianyao’s sudden attack. His heart lurched, and his expression changed drastically; there was no time to block.

"Brother Xiao!"

At that critical juncture, a figure suddenly darted forward, shielding Luo Xiao.

With a sickening SQUELCH, the sword plunged into the figure’s left shoulder, sending a spray of blood into the air.

"Yun’er!" Recognizing the person before him, Luo Xiao roared, his eyes practically bulging from their sockets. He swiftly forced Li Tianyao back with a sword strike, then checked Li Yun’s injury. Seeing it wasn’t life-threatening, he breathed a sigh of relief and bellowed, "Quickly, bring the healing salve!"

After ensuring Li Yun was stable, Luo Xiao turned a dark gaze upon Li Tianyao. "Li Tianyao, you, a young master of one of the Four Great Clans, resort to sneak attacks! Despicable!"

"Luo Xiao, winners become kings and losers are outlaws—this has always been true! Today, your Luo Family is doomed. I advise you to stop resisting. Surrender now, and spare yourself the suffering!" Li Tianyao sneered, flicking the blood from his sword.

Luo Xiao erupted in fury. Gripping his sword with both hands, the light of the blade condensed into a single, sharp line, rushing forward like an unstoppable, raging river, aimed directly at Li Tianyao!

"Unending Green Waters!"

Seeing Luo Xiao’s attack, Li Tianyao merely raised an eyebrow, disdain flickering in his eyes. His longsword drew a semi-circle, unleashing a sword light as brilliant as snow and as fierce as fire. In an instant, it completely neutralized Luo Xiao’s formidable strike. The undiminished force of the attack then stabbed straight for Luo Xiao’s left chest!

"Great Sun Chaotic Cloud Swordsmanship of the Daluo School!"

Luo Xiao’s eyes widened in alarm. He tapped his toes rapidly, narrowly evading Li Tianyao’s longsword. Cold sweat already drenched his palms.

He had just used his full strength, yet he was still no match for Li Tianyao.

If I hadn’t cultivated the Yellow-rank, top-grade Light Martial Art, ’Flying on Grass,’ I would have been struck down then and there.

Unfortunately, the Crescent Claw Technique Second Brother taught me requires the specially crafted Silver Moon Claw to perform. Otherwise, I could have fought him.

Luo Xiao stared at Li Tianyao, his eyes glinting with frustration.

Seeing Luo Xiao dodge his attack, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Tianyao’s eyes. He smiled faintly. "I didn’t expect that while you’re useless otherwise, your escaping skills are quite good. Too bad. You might hide for now, but you can’t hide forever. Today, you will die!"

As he finished speaking, Li Tianyao’s body trembled. His longsword emitted a dragon’s roar, and points of fragmented light shimmered, as if even the dazzling sunlight itself was being torn to shreds.

"Great Sun Shattered Cloud Sword!"

In an instant, countless sword radiances, like mesmerizing streaks of light, stabbed towards Luo Xiao, enveloping an area three zhang wide around him!

"Li Tianyao, you dare!"

Just then, a long, piercing cry suddenly echoed from a nearby street.

Immediately, a figure borne by Qi Dragons charged over with the force of a thunderbolt, sweeping aside everything in his path!

It was Luo Feng!

The Martial Artists in Luo Feng’s path, too slow to dodge, were cut in two at the waist by the Tiger Soul Saber, weapons and all, before they even knew what had happened!

Hearing the shout, Li Tianyao’s sword faltered, his movements slowing for a fraction of a second, giving Luo Xiao the chance to escape.

In mere moments, Luo Feng had carved a path through the crowd and stood before the Luo Mansion’s entrance.

The Tiger Soul Saber was now stained crimson. As he stood there, he resembled a demonic guardian, radiating a terrifying aura.

"Little bastard, you’re still alive!"

Seeing Luo Feng in the distance, Li Yantian’s face darkened, and he gritted his teeth. Why didn’t Manager He kill him? he wondered, baffled.

The Li Family had been pushed to this point entirely because of Luo Feng! Li Yantian hated him to the bone.

Luo Feng shot Li Yantian a cold look, standing defiantly with his saber. He raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Old fool, I’ll be alive long after you’re dead! You dare to ignore the authority of Dayang Mansion and attack my Luo Family! Wreaking havoc here! How incredibly audacious! Today will be the day your Li, Han, and Qiu families are wiped out!"

Luo Feng’s gaze swept over Li Yantian, Han Tie, and Qiu Bichi, dark flames dancing in his eyes.

Meeting Luo Feng’s gaze, the three family heads felt their hearts tremble, an inexplicable chill rising within them.

Ridiculous! I’m actually afraid of this brat!

Han Tie’s face flushed, his shame turning to anger, and he snorted coldly, "Little bastard, death is upon you, yet you still brag so shamelessly! Not a single member of the Luo Family will leave this place alive today!"

Luo Feng didn’t bother to say more. Seeing that the surrounding Martial Artists dared not approach, he turned to Luo Xiao. "Big Brother, are you alright?"

Luo Xiao shook his head, his expression grave. "Second Brother, the Li Family has allied with the Han and Qiu Families. They’ve come in force, and Father is still in seclusion. I’m afraid we can’t hold them off..."

Luo Feng’s gaze was calm. He waved his hand. "Big Brother, don’t worry. Apart from Li Yantian, no one else here poses a threat to me."

This was no arrogant boast. Now that his cultivation had reached the late stage of the Sixth Level of the God Bravery Realm, and his Sky Slayer Saber Technique had advanced to the fourth level, allowing him to unleash Saber Gang, his strength was far beyond what it once was.

Luo Xiao was momentarily stunned by Luo Feng’s confidence. Then, noticing the change in Luo Feng, he exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "Second Brother, you’ve broken through?"

Luo Feng nodded. His gaze fell upon Li Yun, who stood pale-faced to one side. His eyes hardened, a palpable murderous intent emanating from him. "Big Brother," he asked, his voice cold, "who hurt Sister-in-law?"

Luo Xiao’s expression also turned grim. Just as he was about to speak, a cold laugh suddenly came from the side.

"Luo Feng, I didn’t expect you to have the guts to return. I thought you’d already run off with your tail between your legs. But your return is perfectly timed. I’ve been itching to kill you with my own hands and wash away my previous humiliation!" Li Tianyao sneered, sword in hand, looking at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng’s eyes narrowed, his icy gaze boring into Li Tianyao. "Was it you who hurt my Sister-in-law?"

"Your Sister-in-law?" Li Tianyao paused, then glanced at Li Yun. "Haha," he sneered, "so you mean that foolish woman who threw her life away to save someone else? Yes, it was I who injured her..."

Before Li Tianyao could finish his sentence, Luo Feng was already charging at him, saber in hand!

"Die!"

Murder glinting in his eyes, Luo Feng was like an enraged tiger. With a roar, he leaped into the Li Family Martial Artists, charging straight for Li Tianyao.

"He dares to charge us! Everyone, attack together! Kill this kid!"

More than a dozen Li Family Martial Artists roared in unison, lunging at Luo Feng, the flash of their blades and sabers creating a blur of light!

Luo Feng barely spared them a glance. With a flick of his wrist, the Tiger Soul Saber hummed, its edge pulsing with black light as he swept it out casually.

CRACKLE! A chaotic series of sounds erupted. The nearby Li Family Martial Artists—their weapons, armor, and even their bodies—were instantly cleaved in two!

How is this possible! Li Tianyao was dumbfounded, his eyes nearly popping from their sockets.

The weakest of those Li Family Martial Artists had been at the Fourth Level of the Rigid-Soft Realm!

A combined attack from those dozen or so experts was something even he would have had to evade! Yet Luo Feng had slain them all with a single, casual stroke of his saber! Utterly ferocious and unstoppable!

Catching sight of the faint black aura flickering on Luo Feng’s Tiger Soul Saber, Li Tianyao’s expression changed drastically. His face turned ashen as he shrieked repeatedly, "Saber Gang! That’s Saber Gang! You’re only at the Sixth Level of the God Bravery Realm! How can you possibly unleash Saber Gang?! What kind of monster are you?!"
