Martial Arts Overlord

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Outside the square, swords flashed and stones flew. Luo Feng and the two Family Heads were still locked in a brutal battle, the gruesome scene leaving the surrounding Martial Artists terrified.

Li Yantian wielded his broadsword, demonstrating the Mountain Breaking Saber Technique. Within a thirty-foot radius, Saber Qi crisscrossed, carving gullies deeper than a foot into the ground. His unparalleled ferocity had Luo Feng cornered in an extremely small area.

Qiu Bichi practiced Azure Cloud Swordsmanship, a mid-rank Huang-tier martial art! This Swordsmanship style was swift and relentless. Though not every strike shook the heavens like Li Yantian’s, the trajectory of her sword was incredibly unpredictable. Like a venomous snake, the moment it found an opening, it struck to kill—insidious and vicious!

One aggressive, one agile, they coordinated effectively. Despite Luo Feng’s extreme caution, he had already sustained several more wounds, each step fraught with peril. Fortunately, his cultivation in Light Martial Arts far surpassed theirs, allowing him to evade fatal blows each time, his injuries remaining superficial.

Damn it! What kind of Light Martial Arts does this kid cultivate? Why is it so freakishly effective?! Li Yantian’s eyes widened in fury as he stared at Luo Feng, his eyelids twitching, an internal roar of frustration building. Luo Feng was no match for him in terms of raw power; in a direct confrontation, Li Yantian was confident he could defeat Luo Feng within three moves!

However, Luo Feng was as slippery as an eel, refusing any direct clash. This left Li Yantian feeling like he had immense strength he couldn’t bring to bear, an incredibly frustrating sensation!

You little beast! Just wait until I capture you! I’ll tear you limb from limb!

What he had anticipated to be a straightforward plan had dissolved into chaos. Not only was Li Tianyao dead, but Han Tie had also fallen. And it was all because of Luo Feng! The thought made Li Yantian feel an urge to vomit blood, and he let out a furious howl.

WHOOSH!

At that moment, the sound of light footsteps rapidly approached from the distance.

Li Yantian looked up to see a petite, blue-haired young woman speeding towards them, a sharp sword in hand. Her velocity clearly indicated she was an expert.

Li Yantian’s eyes lit up, and he shouted to the approaching blue-haired girl, "Kill Luo Feng quickly! A hefty reward awaits you!"

Though he didn’t recognize her, with only members of the three great families present, he assumed she must be a young expert from either the Han Family or the Qiu Family. Seeing her cover over ten meters in a single leap, her Light Martial Arts cultivation was clearly not to be underestimated. If the three of them joined forces, they could undoubtedly slay Luo Feng!

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Pushing his Saber Energy to its limit to ensnare Luo Feng, Li Yantian watched with cold, gleaming eyes, a savage grin spreading across his face. Kid, you’re dead!

Luo Feng’s brow furrowed slightly, a grim expression crossing his face. He had already spotted the figure rapidly approaching from afar. But currently pinned down by the two experts, Li Yantian and Qiu Bichi, he dared not divert his attention for even an instant. As the footsteps behind him drew nearer, his palms grew slick with cold sweat.

FWOOSH!

A faint whistling sound cut through the air, and the hairs on Luo Feng’s back stood on end. Just as he prepared to fight for his life, a clear, melodious voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Winding Peak Turn!"

That voice...

Luo Feng’s heart leaped! He was so startled he was nearly struck by Li Yantian’s saber.

SWOOSH!

A fragrant breeze wafted past as a chilling sword light pierced through the air beside Luo Feng, carrying an icy intent as it stabbed towards Qiu Bichi!

THWACK!

The sharp sword plunged directly into Qiu Bichi’s unprotected left shoulder. Her face paled, and she let out a soft hiss, rapidly retreating. Her phoenix eyes glared venomously at the attacker.

"Who are you?!"

Li Yantian, also bewildered by the sudden turn of events, fell back beside Qiu Bichi and asked with a frown, "She’s not one of yours?"

"Bah! I thought she was a young expert from your Li Family!" Qiu Bichi clutched her wounded left shoulder, gritting her teeth, her beautiful eyes practically spewing fire.

"Purple Sun School, Inner Court disciple, Bing Ruolan!"

A gentle voice announced, and a figure slowly emerged from behind Luo Feng. A longsword was held behind her back, her posture graceful, radiating youthful vitality. Her short, light-blue hair shimmered captivatingly under the sun, and her azure eyes were as clear as sapphires.

"Class President, it really is you!" Luo Feng exclaimed, looking at the familiar figure before him with some surprise.

Bing Ruolan’s lips curved slightly. She looked at Luo Feng and smiled faintly. "Who else would it be? Is there another Bing Ruolan in this world?"

"Why have you come here?" Luo Feng exhaled softly, his gaze puzzled. The journey from Purple Sun School to Panlong City was tens of thousands of miles; Bing Ruolan’s appearance here was truly astonishing.

Bing Ruolan bit her lip lightly, then pouted. "This isn’t the time for that, is it? It seems you’ve provoked quite the formidable enemies this time."

Casting a sidelong glance, Bing Ruolan looked at Li Yantian and Qiu Bichi, a ripple of emotion in her eyes. For Luo Feng, at the Sixth Level of the God Bravery Realm, to withstand the combined assault of an Eighth-Level Hell Realm expert and an Essence Storage Realm expert, even while at a clear disadvantage, was astounding enough! She wouldn’t have believed it if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes.

"HMPH!" Li Yantian snorted coldly, the sound like a thunderclap. His tiger-like eyes glared at Bing Ruolan as he said in a deep voice, "I don’t care which school you’re from. If you know what’s good for you, get out of the way! Otherwise, you’ll die with the Luo Family today!"

"Oh, really?" Bing Ruolan smiled faintly, flicking her sword to scatter a shower of cold light. She looked at Li Yantian calmly. "Luo Feng is a student of my Purple Sun School. Since he calls me Class President, I naturally won’t let anything happen to him while I’m here."

Luo Feng was slightly taken aback and looked at Bing Ruolan with a deep gaze.

Qiu Bichi, ambushed and injured by Bing Ruolan, was seething with resentment. She said to Li Yantian, "Stop wasting words on her! You deal with Luo Feng; I’ll handle this little wench!"

"You dare injure me? You won’t be leaving here today!" Qiu Bichi shot Bing Ruolan a venomous look. Her figure flickered, appearing like a wisp of green smoke five steps in front of Bing Ruolan. The longsword in her hand vibrated intensely, its tip erupting with an eerie green sword light. A chilling aura followed the sword’s path, enveloping the area before her.

"Luo Feng, leave this woman to me!" Bing Ruolan’s beautiful eyes sharpened. She spoke in a low voice, then her Three-foot Green Edge flicked out, countering Qiu Bichi at an even greater speed, delivering over ten strikes in an instant!

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Sword edges clashed, sending sparks flying. The two exchanged over a dozen blows in an instant, their movements as swift as the wind, dazzling to behold!

Luo Feng had initially worried that Bing Ruolan would be no match for Qiu Bichi. But seeing them fight, although Bing Ruolan was being suppressed by Qiu Bichi, she occasionally managed to counterattack. This left Luo Feng slightly surprised.

Noticing the change in Bing Ruolan’s aura, a faint smile touched Luo Feng’s lips. Middle Stage of the Sixth Level of the God Bravery Realm. It seems I’m not the only one whose strength is advancing by leaps and bounds.

"Wretched kid! Prepare to die!"

Enraged by the twists and turns, Li Yantian roared, his hair practically standing on end. Pushing his Yuan Qi to its peak, the Tiger Soul Saber in his right hand blazed with a dazzling, incandescent white light as he slashed at Luo Feng!

Li Yantian’s Saber Gang stretched three meters long, its edge carrying the crushing force of a mountain, like a bolt of lightning from the heavens—too terrifying to look at directly.

CRACK!

Even when the Saber Gang was still three meters from the ground, the immense pressure made the stone slabs beneath groan, cracks spreading out like a spiderweb!

Luo Feng’s eyes flashed. He gripped his Tiger Soul Saber and swung upwards in a counter-slash!

BANG!

A deafening explosion erupted. Luo Feng used the recoil to instantly retreat over ten meters!

BOOM!

The incandescent white Saber Gang slammed down, making the entire square tremble.

Where Luo Feng had just stood, a massive saber mark, five meters long and a meter deep, appeared! It was a shocking sight, enough to make one’s heart pound with fear at a mere glance.

"Kid! Is running all you Luo Family members know how to do?" His all-out attack having failed to harm Luo Feng in the slightest, Li Yantian was incredibly frustrated. He stood with his saber held horizontally, his face ashen, and roared at Luo Feng.

Watching Li Yantian’s contorted expression, Luo Feng sneered inwardly. He twirled the Tiger Soul Saber casually and said with a faint smile, "Old man, if you’re trying to provoke me, save your breath. Do you think I’m as foolish as Li Tianyang, who’d swallow a massive bet of five hundred thousand taels just from a bit of goading?"

Li Yantian’s teeth ground together in fury when he saw Luo Feng didn’t take the bait. Luo Feng’s Qinggong was simply too exceptional. Li Yantian knew it was impossible to defeat him quickly, so he had deliberately tried to provoke Luo Feng into a direct confrontation. Who would have thought Luo Feng wouldn’t fall for it?

"Hahahaha! Li Yantian, you truly regress with age! The esteemed Family Head of one of the Four Great Families, resorting to such despicable tactics against a junior!"

Suddenly, a powerful shout echoed from within the Luo Family’s manor. The voice was incredibly deep and resonant; even a few simple words felt like giant stones pressing on one’s chest, making everyone uncomfortable. Their eardrums buzzed, and the entire square seemed to tremble with the sound.

His Qi has attained spirit!

The previously enraged Li Yantian’s expression changed drastically upon hearing the shout. This voice actually carried an oppressive aura, clearly a method available only to a Ninth-Level Heavenly Court Realm expert!

Father broke through to the Ninth Level of the Heavenly Court Realm?! Hearing the shout, Luo Feng’s eyes lit up with wild joy, and he whirled around.

Everyone in the square stopped fighting, clearly stunned by the domineering voice. The Luo Family’s Martial Artists wore expressions of excitement, while those from the three families looked ashen-faced.

WHOOSH!

As everyone watched, a figure soared out from the Luo Family’s inner courtyard. Like a great bird, he glided over a hundred meters in an instant, landing above the Luo Family’s main gate.

"Congratulations, Family Head, on emerging from seclusion!" The Luo Family’s Martial Artists all showed expressions of deep respect.

Luotian nodded slightly. His gaze swept across the square before landing on Luo Feng. His eyes lit up, flashing like lightning, and he smiled. "Feng Er, you’ve worked hard."

Luo Feng cupped his fists and replied with equal respect, "Congratulations, Father, on your breakthrough! You are now the foremost expert in Panlong City!"

If this had been said in the past, the other families would certainly have sneered. But at this moment, no one dared to voice any doubt.

Although Panlong City had several experts at the Eighth Level of the Hell Realm, there wasn’t a single one at the Ninth Level of the Heavenly Court Realm! Now that Luotian had broken through to the Ninth Level, he was, without a doubt, the number one expert in Panlong City!

"Impossible! The Guixu Pill is merely a peak Third-Grade Spiritual Medicine! How could it allow you to leap from the Middle Stage of the Eighth Level of the Hell Realm directly to the Ninth Level of the Heavenly Court Realm?! This is impossible!" Li Yantian stared fixedly at Luotian, his body trembling, and roared in disbelief.
