Martial Arts Overlord

Li Yantian looked at Luotian, standing proudly above the gates of the Luo Family Manor, with growing astonishment. His face was as unsightly as it could be.

He had initially thought that even if Luotian had consumed the Guixu Pill, his cultivation realm would only surge to the late stage of the Eighth Hell Realm! With this assumption, even if Luotian was successful in breaking through, he still had a fighting chance!

However, the last thing he expected was that Luotian would actually ascend to the heavens in a single step, stepping into the Ninth Heavenly Court Realm! His surprise and anger were unimaginable.

Luotian glanced at Li Yantian indifferently, his face expressionless, though the chilling glare sparkling in his sharp eyes made one unable to look directly at him.

"Li Yantian, you took advantage of my seclusion to collude with the Han and Qiu families and strike against my Luo Family. You desired to annihilate my family. How daring and misguided you are! You said earlier that my Luo Family only knows how to run away. I want to see what qualifications you have to make such a statement."

SWOOSH!

Luotian’s gaze flashed as he leaped forward, soaring like a large bird gliding through the sky. In seconds, he crossed hundreds of meters and appeared before Li Yantian.

Seeing Luotian on the ground, despair crossed the faces of the three families’ Martial Artists. They couldn’t even handle Luo Feng, a Martial Artist with the cultivation of the Sixth God Bravery Realm, and now an even stronger figure had appeared, one who had broken through to the Ninth Heavenly Court Realm! How were they supposed to fight?

As soon as Luotian landed, his robe shook with power. The surrounding air crackled, and from a distance of ten meters, he abruptly launched a punch toward Li Yantian!

This punch seemed casual, but when Luotian threw it, low roars shook the plaza! A majestic lion head emerged from Luotian’s fist, its mane blazing like fire, its fierce eyes wide open, its fangs bared. It rushed towards Li Yantian with a domineering aura that engulfed the entire plaza.

"Mad Lion Furious Gang!"

Luo Feng raised his eyebrows, recognizing this punch as the Luo Family’s inherited Martial Arts, the Mad Lion Fist—a top-tier Yellow Grade Martial Art!

"Shattering the Mountain!"

Seeing the fierce punch, Li Yantian’s face changed drastically. He quickly raised his saber to defend and unleashed a furious roar. Pushing his Yuan Qi to the extreme, the ring-handled saber in his right hand turned a dazzling white as he slashed forward!

SLASH!

The saber light flashed, transforming into a five-meter-long Saber Gang that illuminated the entire plaza.

SWOOSH!

The blade, carrying the weight of a mountain, cut towards the Mad Lion Furious Gang. Its amazing power resembled thunderbolts in the sky.

RUMBLE...

The two violent Yuan Qi forces collided. Before Luotian’s fist Gang Qi, the gigantic five-meter-long Saber Qi shattered layer by layer!

CRASH!

The ring-handled golden saber finally could not withstand the power and shattered into countless fragments.

SHIK! SHIK! SHIK! SHIK!

The sharp fragments cut countless wounds on Li Yantian’s body!

SPURT!

Li Yantian spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and retreated more than ten meters. His robes were fragmented, blood covered his body, and he no longer possessed the dignified air of the Li Family Head. Extremely disheveled, his eyes were harshly fixed on Luotian!

"Luotian, you dare...!"

"Lie down now!"

Luotian didn’t speak a word. His eyebrows furrowed, and he stretched out his five fingers, unleashing a palm strike through the air mercilessly toward Li Yantian. The palm, formed by Yuan Qi, carried the sound of wind and thunder as it whistled through the air.

Li Yantian could not evade in time and was slammed hard on his chest. With a painful scream, his body was directly blasted dozens of meters away, crashing heavily onto the ground. He didn’t move; he was clearly dead!

HISS!

A gasp swept across the entire square.

The Li Family Head, a powerful Eighth Hell Realm powerhouse who had dominated Panlong City for decades, was smashed into a meat patty in just two moves! No one had imagined Li Yantian would be defeated so easily and cleanly!

Qiu Bichi stood to one side, witnessing Li Yantian’s tragic state. All color drained from her once charming face, and her slender body trembled slightly. After a single glance at Luotian, she suddenly turned and used her Light Martial Arts to soar toward a nearby street!

"Trying to escape?"

Luo Feng saw Qiu Bichi, snorted coldly, and took a step forward. Amidst the roar of the Qi Dragon, his figure appeared instantly behind Qiu Bichi. The Tiger Soul Saber, carrying a horrifying black light, slashed fiercely through the air, its Saber Gang nearly a meter long!

Qiu Bichi felt the killing intent and turned around abruptly. Looking up, she saw Luo Feng standing on the Qi Dragon, holding a two-meter-long saber. He looked like a demon from the ninth heaven, rushing to kill her. Terrified, her face turned pale, and her chest heaved violently as she screamed, "Don’t kill me! I’m willing to...!"

SLASH!

The black light flashed and retracted, cutting Qiu Bichi’s speech short. A trickle of fresh blood escaped from her rosy lips.

THUD...

With a resentful look at Luo Feng, Qiu Bichi collapsed to the ground. The once beautiful woman, unparalleled in Panlong City, was now lifeless.

"She brought destruction upon herself. She deserved death!"

Luo Feng hummed, his gaze indifferent. He sheathed the Tiger Soul Saber, his gaze swept over the ground behind Qiu Bichi, and abruptly froze.

Three meters away, a slanted saber mark was engraved on the ground, nearly a foot deep!

"Hahahaha... Feng Er, you really surprised me!"

Luotian’s laughter interrupted Luo Feng’s thoughts.

Striding to Luo Feng, Luotian patted his shoulder, turned back to glance at the square, and laughed, "You killed Han Tie, and now you’ve taken Qiu Bichi’s life as well. This strength of yours, even I was taken aback. It seems that our Luo Family has truly produced an unparalleled genius!"

The surrounding Martial Artists heard Luotian’s words and looked at Luo Feng with awe.

Today, in the bloody battle between the Li Family and the Luo Family, the most dazzling figure was not Luotian, who ascended to the heavens in one step by entering the Ninth Heavenly Court Realm, but Luo Feng!

Alone, he had broken into the encirclement as if it were uninhabited land. He killed two Li Family experts and broke out, then fought against the heads of the three families. Not only did he kill Han Tie, but he also remained undefeated under the combined assault of an Eighth Hell Realm powerhouse and a Seventh Essence storage Realm powerhouse!

Any of these feats would astonish heaven and earth! If they had not seen it with their own eyes, who would believe that a fifteen-year-old teenager had accomplished all of this!

The cultivation waste who hadn’t made any progress in three years had suddenly become an unparalleled genius! Everyone in the square felt an incredible, dream-like sensation.

"Congratulations, Family Head! The Family Head has reached the Ninth Heavenly Court Realm, and Young Master Luo Feng possesses such amazing talent. The Luo Family is bound to shine across the True Martial Continent for millennia!"

With all three family heads dead, the situation was settled. The Luo Family Martial Artists around them were overjoyed, congratulating Luotian and looking at Luo Feng with reverence.

"Hahahaha... You all have contributed to the protection of the family. There will be great rewards after everything is settled!" Luotian was overjoyed and waved his hand, laughing loudly.

"Thank you, Family Head!" The surrounding Luo Family Martial Artists were excited, bowing in respect.

"Father, what should we do with these people?"

Luo Feng’s gaze fell upon the Martial Artists of the three families in the square. There were nearly two hundred of them still standing.

This time, the Li, Han, and Qiu families had joined forces to attack the Luo Family. Their elite troops had numbered nearly three hundred. Now, almost half of them remained; the casualties had been severe. However, nearly a hundred of them were killed when Luo Feng broke through their encirclement!

Luotian cast a thoughtful look at the Martial Artists from the three families on the square.

THUMP!

"City Lord, spare me! I am just an ordinary guard from the Han Family. I depended on my salary and didn’t really want to oppose the Luo Family. I had to obey when ordered by my Family Head."

"My cultivation has already reached the peak of the Fifth Iron Bone Realm. I have strength and would like to join the Luo Family! I am willing to do anything for the Luo Family!"

"I also want to join the Luo Family. I have an elderly mother at home and a newborn son. I don’t want to die! Please spare my life, City Lord."

...

With all three family heads dead and having witnessed the methods of Luotian and Luo Feng, these Martial Artists from the three families had already lost their will to fight. Seeing Luotian looking over, their bodies trembled slightly. They dropped their weapons and knelt down, begging for mercy.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The sound of weapons falling to the ground echoed all around. Nearly two hundred people were all kneeling.

Luotian’s eyes twinkled, and with a wave of his large sleeve, he looked at the two hundred people kneeling on the ground and said gravely, "You all attacked the City Lord Mansion. Even though you were following orders, it is still a grave and abhorrent crime!"

Upon hearing this, the two hundred Martial Artists trembled even more, kowtowing profusely.

"City Lord, spare our lives!"

"City Lord, spare our lives!"

"City Lord, spare our lives!"

...

However, Luotian’s tone softened at this moment, and he said, "But, I’ve just become the City Lord and do not wish to engage in excessive killing. If you sincerely wish to pledge your loyalty to the Luo Family and serve our family, I can spare your lives!"

The Martial Artists from the three families, who were initially in despair, upon hearing Luotian’s words, showed signs of wild joy and were moved to tears of gratitude:

"Thank you, City Lord! We are ready to dedicate ourselves to the family!"

"We are ready to die for the Luo Family!"

So this is the carrot after the stick?

Luo Feng watched the teary-eyed Martial Artists of the three families with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth.

He knew why his father was doing this. In this bloody battle, the Luo Family also suffered significant losses. The Martial Artists in front of them were the selected elites of the three families, all of them with a cultivation base above the Fourth Rigid-Soft Realm! Their strength was considerable. Being able to absorb these people into the family, the family’s strength would not only not be diminished but instead would grow unprecedentedly strong!

Upon receiving the order, Luo Xiao charged into the group of Martial Artists with his men, like wolves among sheep, and began to register and organize them.

A few Martial Artists, perhaps direct descendants of the three families, unwilling to be incorporated into the Luo Family, seized a moment of inattention to flee towards the side streets. As a result, they were turned into beehives by the powerful arrows shot by the Luo Family Martial Artists guarding the sidelines!

Upon seeing this, the others completely submitted.

"Feng Er, who is this maiden?"

Luotian, having stabilized the situation, turned his head and saw Bing Ruolan standing next to Luo Feng. His eyes lit up slightly, and he asked with a smile.

Bing Ruolan was naturally beautiful. As she stood there, the surrounding light seemed to brighten, drawing all eyes to her. Moreover, at only fifteen, she possessed a cultivation in the middle stage of the Sixth God Bravery Realm—clearly a genius!

"Uncle Luo, I am Bing Ruolan, a fellow student of Luo Feng at Purple Sun School." Bing Ruolan stepped forward gently, curtsied to Luotian with a sweet smile.

"Oh? So you’re a fellow student of Feng Er."

Luotian gave Luo Feng a teasing look and laughed, "It’s unfortunate that the family is going through such a situation today, and you have to witness it."

Bing Ruolan smiled shyly, her dimples showing, and shook her head slightly, her enchanting short, light blue hair sparkling. "Being able to witness Uncle Luo stepping into the Ninth Heavenly Court Realm is Ruolan’s fortune."

Listening to this, Luotian laughed heartily, liking Bing Ruolan even more, and said, "You should stay. After the family’s affairs are settled, we must extend our hospitality to you!"

At this time, Luo Xiao had finished organizing the Martial Artists from the three families. Luotian waved his hand and said, "There must be remnants of the Li, Han, and Qiu families. Xiao Er, you take some men and go to the Han Family! Captain Chen, you take some men to the Qiu Family! Feng Er, you and I will go to the Li Family. They dared to attack the City Lord Mansion; today, I will make them completely disappear from Panlong City!"

Luotian’s eyes were cold, his voice revealing a ruthless killing intent.

"Yes, Father!"

Upon receiving commands, Luo Xiao and the Luo Family’s guard captain, Chen Nanfeng, immediately led their men to the Han and Qiu Families.

Luo Feng had Bing Ruolan taken into the family to rest. He then brought thirty elite Luo Family Martial Artists and, together with Luotian, rushed to the Li Family residence.
