Chapter 103: If You’re a Dog, Then Get Down
Although this road was rarely traveled, it was not entirely devoid of people.
As an instructor at the academy, if Li Yuanhao were known to have been killed, it would undoubtedly cause significant trouble.
Luo Feng, seeing Li Yuanhao rushing towards him, suddenly turned and ran towards the nearby woods.
SWISH!
Li Yuanhao’s claw swipe missed, the Qi Force from his five fingers cutting deep trenches into the ground.
"Damn brat, where do you think you’re going!"
Seeing Luo Feng running towards the woods, Li Yuanhao assumed Luo Feng was trying to escape and increased his speed to give chase.
Luo Feng’s Qinggong cultivation now far surpassed Li Yuanhao’s, but he deliberately slowed down, keeping the distance between them within ten meters.
Trees on both sides swept by swiftly.
How exactly did this brat train to become this fast!
Li Yuanhao was hot on his heels, staring at Luo Feng’s retreating figure, a sudden chill flashing in his eyes.
A month ago, he could easily catch up to Luo Feng. Now, despite Luo Feng being within sight, he couldn’t close the distance at all!
The potential Luo Feng displayed stirred an indescribable fear in Li Yuanhao’s heart, deepening the killing intent within him.
Both men were moving at extremely fast speeds, zipping several miles into the depths of the forest in the blink of an eye.
WHOOSH!
Reaching a clearing in the woods, Luo Feng suddenly came to a halt.
"Damn brat, why aren’t you running anymore? Even if you run to the ends of the earth, there’s no escaping your fate today!"
Li Yuanhao floated into the clearing and landed ten meters in front of Luo Feng, his voice cold and harsh.
"Escape?"
Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, gripping his saber as he looked at Li Yuanhao, responding with a faint smile, "You don’t possess the qualifications to make me run!"
Gazing around him, Luo Feng chuckled, "This will be your burial ground. Pretty good, isn’t it?"
What’s going on with this brat? How can he remain so composed!
Squinting at Luo Feng, Li Yuanhao furrowed his brows. That calm gaze sent a chill down his spine.
Shaking his head, he pushed the ridiculous thought aside and said coldly to Luo Feng, "Hmph! You and Ji Wuyue are just like this, all bluster and posturing despite clearly lacking strength. Yet here you are, making grand claims! Today, your death is certain!"
Li Yuanhao sneered. Qi Force exploded from his right hand, sharpening into one-foot-long claws, his figure diving towards Luo Feng like a ghost.
"Eagle Strikes Rabbit!"
Li Yuanhao’s hands moved like the wind. His claws creating a wall of shadows, and suddenly, a wave of sharp Qi Force rolled towards Luo Feng.
This was Li Yuanhao’s signature Martial Arts move, ’Iron Eagle Claw’. Its ferociousness and merciless attack were well known. When his Qi Force was fully unleashed, its steel-like claws could tear off a large chunk of actual steel!
As Li Yuanhao’s ferocious attack closed in, Luo Feng remained calm. With one swift movement of his Tiger Soul Saber, he went on a slashing frenzy. In an instant, he made over a dozen strikes, creating a net of saber-lights.
TING! TANG! TING! TANG...
Clear, crisp sounds echoed, sealing off the Qi Force Li Yuanhao was sending towards him.
The immense power transmitted from the saber’s edge forced Luo Feng to keep retreating.
Seeing Luo Feng completely block his attack didn’t surprise Li Yuanhao. In fact, a cold smirk touched the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly retracting his five fingers, Li Yuanhao manipulated his Qi Force into a single stream, three feet long, resembling a sword, and slashed directly at Luo Feng.
This attack was extremely swift, multiple times faster than the previous one. The sharp, piercing noise was enough to make one’s eardrums ache!
Looking at Luo Feng, Li Yuanhao wore a sneer on his face.
The "Eagle Strikes Rabbit" move consisted of two parts in succession.
The first attack, while seemingly formidable, was merely a diversion. The true killing move was the strike that followed.
This sudden and fierce attack would leave people in disarray. Countless people had fallen victim to this very move of Li Yuanhao’s in the past!
"Sky Slayer Saber Technique—Three Strikes!"
Not panicking at all, Luo Feng shouted, and his Tiger Soul Saber slashed thrice in an instant. Each saber-light landed precisely on the Qi Force extending from Li Yuanhao’s right hand.
The sharp Qi Force was sent rippling by the saber strikes, continuing to undulate without stopping.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH...
Without pause, Luo Feng continuously executed the first three forms of the Sky Slayer Saber Technique. A flurry of saber-lights stirred, striking the Qi Force on Li Yuanhao’s hand like a furious storm.
As a seventh-level Essence Storage Realm Martial Artist, Li Yuanhao’s attack power was much greater than Luo Feng’s.
However, Luo Feng was making up for it with quantity. In the blink of an eye, he unleashed dozens of strikes. Each strike was powerful and heavy. Even someone as strong as Li Yuanhao struggled to keep up. He was forced to retreat repeatedly, and the sharp Qi Force from his hand began to crumble inch by inch.
"What! How can he continuously execute the Sky Slayer Saber Technique!"
Looking at Luo Feng, Li Yuanhao was flabbergasted and furious.
No wonder Li Yuanhao was so startled. The Sky Slayer Saber Technique was an exceptional Yellow Grade Martial Art that put significant strain on the body when used.
Even Li Yuanhao, as a seventh-level Essence Storage Realm Martial Artist, couldn’t execute such powerful attacks as relentlessly as Luo Feng!
This is simply against common sense!
Luo Feng’s physique was different from ordinary people; his body housed eighteen Meridian Wheels, allowing him to withstand such strain.
"Old fool, do you still think I’m the same Luo Feng from a month ago, completely at your mercy?"
Luo Feng, his eyes as fierce as a tiger’s, looked past the layers of saber-light at Li Yuanhao and sneered continuously.
Li Yuanhao stared intensely at Luo Feng, his pupils dilating as if he’d seen a ghost.
"You..."
At this moment, Luo Feng no longer concealed his cultivation. The formidable aura of the late-stage God Bravery Realm burst forth, making his clothes rustle violently.
"Late-stage God Bravery Realm! Sixth level! Impossible! How could your cultivation have increased so quickly?"
Li Yuanhao, struggling to resist Luo Feng’s fierce onslaught, stared at him in disbelief and roared in anger.
He clearly remembered that a month ago, Luo Feng was only at the late-stage Iron Bone Realm, fifth level.
In just one month, he had advanced from the late-stage Iron Bone Realm to the late-stage God Bravery Realm! Even Lu Xiao Yun, the super genius from years past, hadn’t advanced at such a speed!
What infuriated Li Yuanhao the most was that Luo Feng wasn’t a student in his class, but merely a mediocre student from the Silver Moon class!
"Hmph! My aptitude is beyond your wildest imagination," Luo Feng snorted coldly, his attacks growing fiercer.
The howling wind from his saber rippled through the surrounding forest; a violent aura permeated the air!
Under this furious attack, Li Yuanhao had no opportunity to counterattack; he could only desperately use his Gang Qi to fend off Luo Feng’s attacks.
Is this brat human or a demon? Even a sixth-level God Bravery Realm Martial Artist would likely be exhausted to death after launching such powerful attacks consecutively, yet he’s completely unscathed!
Li Yuanhao’s mind reeled with shock. He knew that if this continued, he would remain suppressed by Luo Feng; the slightest mistake could lead to a disastrous defeat. After a brief consideration, his eyes flashed with ruthless determination.
"Brat, lie down and die!"
Li Yuanhao gave a long howl, his clothes suddenly bulging as a horrifying aura radiated from him, making him seem like an unsheathed sword, its sharpness fully revealed!
"Cloud Piercing Qi Strike!"
With two fingers extended, a surge of Qi Force erupted from Li Yuanhao’s hand, several feet long, shooting towards Luo Feng like arrows loosed from a bow!
BANG! BANG! BANG...
Luo Feng was forced to retreat. The Qi Force carried in the volley was immensely powerful, making it feel as if he couldn’t even hold onto the Tiger Soul Saber, let alone strike back at Li Yuanhao.
Facing the howling Qi Force, Luo Feng’s mind instantly cooled. He immediately used the Teng Dragon’s Step to retreat explosively. The spot where he had just stood was shredded to pieces.
Li Yuanhao, having forced Luo Feng back, looked somewhat smug. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, sneering, "Brat! I admit your potential startled me. Perhaps with more time, even I wouldn’t be your match. Unfortunately, you were too impatient! You didn’t wait until your strength was sufficient to defeat me before rushing to your death! Today, you will remain here forever!"
His eyes glinted as Li Yuanhao drew his sword, its blade flickering with an insatiable cold light.
"Cloud Piercing Sun Shot!"
Li Yuanhao’s gaze turned icy; he thrust at Luo Feng from ten paces away.
WHOOSH! The Sword Qi from his blade suddenly shot towards Luo Feng like a shooting star chasing the moon, its razor-sharp aura chilling the forest air by several degrees!
Luo Feng’s figure swayed, narrowly dodging the Sword Qi.
BOOM!
The Sword Qi roared past, striking a massive tree nearby—one so thick it would take several people to encircle—and instantly bored a small, chilling hole through its trunk.
So this is the Cloud Piercing Swordsmanship Uncle Li mentioned?
Luo Feng looked at the pierced giant tree behind him and couldn’t help but be inwardly astonished.
If that sword strike had landed on him, it would have definitely pierced a hole right through his body!
"This is the Cloud Piercing Swordsmanship I chanced upon while exploring a cultivator’s grotto—an exceptional Yellow Grade Martial Art! It allows me to condense Sword Qi. I once used this very swordsmanship to slay a peak seventh-level Essence Storage Realm master! Luo Feng, you can die without regret under this swordsmanship!"
"Die!"
Seeing the look on Luo Feng’s face, Li Yuanhao’s expression became arrogant. With a furious roar, he gripped his sword and thrust repeatedly!
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH...
Li Yuanhao’s movements were relentless, stabbing out more than a dozen times in succession.
In an instant, Sword Qi crisscrossed the entire clearing. The area around Luo Feng, within a thirty-meter radius, was completely enveloped by the piercing Sword Qi! Terrifying sword marks gouged the ground.
"Excellent! Let me test this Cloud Piercing Swordsmanship of yours!"
Luo Feng was unhurried. Giving out a long yell, his Tiger Soul Saber emitted a series of tiger roars. Suddenly, a three-foot-long black radiance erupted from it; its power pushed to the limit, he slashed out!
SLASH!
A half-meter-tall black saber radiance soared into the air. Within the black radiance, faint tiger roars could be heard as a ferocious intent permeated the entire space!
CRASH!
The saber radiance collided with the Sword Qi. The half-meter-tall black radiance tore through the layers of Sword Qi as easily as splitting bamboo or smashing rotten wood. Its momentum undiminished, it slashed at Li Yuanhao’s left arm, which he failed to dodge in time!
Blood sprayed as Li Yuanhao’s entire left arm was instantly severed. The immense force sent him flying backward, and he slammed heavily into a giant tree ten meters away, coughing up blood ceaselessly!
Luo Feng stood his ground, quietly watching Li Yuanhao groaning on the ground. A surge of pride welled up in his heart!
As the instructor of the Golden Sun class, Li Yuanhao had always looked down on the students of the Silver Moon class. He was domineering and often found baseless reasons to trouble them.
Luo Feng had also been berated by him. Back then, his cultivation was insufficient, and he could only swallow his anger.
Now, he had finally exacted his revenge, making this arrogant dog who looked down on others taste the bitterness of defeat, and avenging Ji Wuyue in the process! An immense sense of satisfaction washed over him!
