Martial Arts Overlord
Chapter 852 - 850: Blood of the Mad Demon
Chchchchchchch...
The Yuan Qi whirlwind formed by sword qi and leg cyclone was extremely astonishing. The entire platform raged with winds, and wherever it passed, the ground cracked, sending sand and stones flying.
"Hahaha... Die for me!"
Facing the Yuan Qi whirlwind, the Asura was unconcerned. He looked up and laughed, while the gigantic demonic shadow behind him let out a series of earth-shattering roars.
"Frenzy Punch!"
Asura clenched his right hand into a fist and punched out. The enormous demonic shadow behind him exuded an abyss-like aura and punched out with great force as well.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the Yuan Qi whirlwind couldn’t advance before the force of the punch. It finally trembled slightly, shattered, and disappeared. The weakened fist shadow viciously blasted towards Hengyuan and Li Tong behind.
Splurt! Splurt!
The protective gang energy shattered, the fist shadows disappeared, and Hengyuan and Li Tong flew backward, spewing large mouthfuls of fresh blood mid-air, unsure of how many bones in their bodies had broken.
Swoosh!
On the other side, Xue Ziyi and Lin Hongyi launched an attack simultaneously.
"Mountain Smash!"
Lin Hongyi’s figure shot up into the sky, her golden hair flying under the blood-like sunset. An imposing aura as heavy as a mountain emanated as a golden mountain formed behind her. She slashed downward through the air with her leg like a saber.
Boom boom boom boom boom...
With air roaring, numerous leg shadows, like waves stacking in the ocean, extended endlessly, giving an impression of invincible ferocity.
Asura sneered, reaching up with one hand, and masses of demonic qi gathered in his palm, forming a massive shadowy hand that grabbed towards Lin Hongyi.
The next moment!
Dazzling golden light burst forth, causing heaven and earth to shake. Then a thunderous explosion reverberated, sending Lin Hongyi flying backward with a trace of crimson blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, her face pale.
Asura was not unscathed either. The demonic qi in his hand was shattered, and the massive impact ripped open the wounds Luo Feng had previously inflicted on him, causing blood to spray and redden a large area of the ground. His muscular body staggered backward repeatedly.
"Flying Crane Continuous Shadow!"
A breeze swept by, and Xue Ziyi appeared at Asura’s right side, cold light flashing in her clear indifferent eyes as her delicate hand struck through the air.
Chchchchch...
Though it was just a single palm strike, the sound of cutting through the air was continuous. Palm shadows appeared and disappeared, resembling skimming light and shadow howling down. When they appeared again, they were already three meters close to Asura’s side, transformed into Yuan Qi cranes with a sharp aura, attacking the wings folded behind him.
Blood light surged in Asura’s eyes. These individuals before him were merely Spiritual Rotation Realm Seventh Layer martial artists, their cultivation suppressed to Spiritual Rotation Realm Sixth Layer due to the Devouring Yuan Realm.
Previously, such beings could be crushed with just a finger, but now, continuous failures had driven him nearly insane, losing his rationality.
"Die for me, Death Cyclone!"
With a long howl, the demonic flames on Asura surged. His wings spread open, flapping forcefully.
Cold winds like blades raged madly, black light blades covered the direction where Xue Ziyi was, slicing the air into fragments with unstoppable momentum.
Xue Ziyi didn’t meet the attack head-on. After her strike, she lightly patted with her jade hand, instantly exiting the attack range.
Bang bang bang...
Two opposing forces clashed, extinguishing one another. Some crane shadows slipped through the gaps, landing on Asura.
Asura, suppressed by the Devouring Yuan Realm and after continuously unleashing large-scale attacks, had his protective demonic qi greatly weakened. The crane strikes obliterated it, leaving blood scars across his wings, with blood endlessly flowing.
The wounds weren’t deep, but they made Asura look exceptionally disheveled.
Since transforming into Asura, it was his first time being so disheveled, making him uncontrollably furious. His eyes seemed to bleed as he stared intently at Xue Ziyi and Lin Hongyi, intent on unleashing an ultimate strike to slaughter them completely.
At this moment.
Chh.
A slight wind-breaking sound arose, with a figure appearing behind Asura.
"Thunder Fire Shocking Heavens!"
With Yuan Qi inside him pushed to the limit, Luo Feng gripped his saber with both hands and slashed out.
Boom!
In an instant, within a hundred-meter radius, lightning flashed fire exploded, the Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber cast a glaring crimson saber light, condensing into an enormous saber gang dozens of meters long, slashing toward Asura’s head.
Upon close observation, one could see blue electric arcs flickering around the saber gang.
The might of this slash was extremely amazing, the air compressed inch by inch beneath the saber gang, threatening to devastate this entire space.
Countless people’s hearts and minds were drawn by this slash, their gazes fixed upon it.
Chh!
The saber gang fiercely cut through the protective demonic qi around Asura, the sound of tearing paper resounded as the protective demonic qi was slashed open, and the saber edge struck Asura.
Asura raged, his entire body aflame with demonic qi, as he punched toward Luo Feng.
Bam!
The air roared, almost simultaneously, Luo Feng retreated using the Sky Cloud Step. Yet, the aftermath of the punch still caused his qi and blood to surge, and he spat a mouthful of fresh blood.
Fortunately, Asura had launched that strike hurriedly, only exerting 40-50% of his power. Otherwise, even with Luo Feng’s strong physique, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand it—not just spitting blood.
Looking up at Asura, Luo Feng slightly frowned, a regretful expression in his eyes:
"What a shame, just a little off."
On Asura’s right wing was a massive slash mark extending to the right shoulder, but the shoulder wound wasn’t deep, not reaching Asura’s core.
Luo Feng wasn’t too surprised at being able to injure Asura with this slash.
In the Devouring Yuan Realm, the higher the cultivation, the greater the suppression effect.
At this moment, the Devouring Yuan Realm was in full play, causing the cultivation of the Asura to be just around the mid-level of the seventh layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. Lin Hongyi and the others were suppressed, their cultivation reduced to the peak of the sixth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, but in comparison, the gap in strength between the two sides was narrowing.
Although Luo Feng’s cultivation was also suppressed, it was negligible, still remaining at the late stage of the sixth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.
Luo Feng speculated in his heart that the Devouring Yuan Realm suppressed the martial artist’s strength through momentum, but since he had comprehended the Grand Momentum, which could sever the void, the effect of suppression was greatly reduced.
On the other side.
"As expected of a half-step Great Asura, his defensive power is truly astonishing. Even a fifth-grade spirit weapon couldn’t kill him." Xue Ziyi’s delicate face displayed the same expression as Luo Feng, her lips slightly parted, she sighed softly.
Lin Hongyi nodded, yet with a confident face, she said, "The opponent is a Demon General-level expert, naturally not to be taken lightly. However, he is also injured. We have a chance to win."
"Hmm."
Xue Ziyi let out a gentle breath and glanced at Luo Feng:
"Thanks to him. To remain so calm at times like this and come up with this relay combat strategy."
During the initial engagement, Luo Feng communicated the plan to the four through sound transmission. Heng Yuan and Li Tong attacked first, followed by Lin Hongyi and Xue Ziyi, with him delivering the finishing Thunderclap Stroke to slay the Asura.
Initially, Xue Ziyi had some doubts about the plan, but now it seemed truly ingenious.
The weaker Heng Yuan and Li Tong striking would surely invoke the Asura’s contempt. As Xue Ziyi and Lin Hongyi joined, the conceited Asura was bound to be angered, giving Luo Feng the opportunity to take him by surprise and kill him!
The entire arrangement not only thoroughly analyzed each individual’s strength but also involved many clever strategies; truly terrifying.
Xue Ziyi thought to herself, in a crisis, she could never come up with such a plan.
Lin Hongyi looked at Luo Feng and nodded, saying: "He is indeed unnaturally calm."
"Unnatural... a fitting word."
The two women exchanged a glance, then executed their Qinggong again, rushing towards the Asura once more, preparing to create the next attack opportunity for Luo Feng.
Roar!
The repeated failures drove the Asura into madness, with rolling demonic qi soaring into the sky, causing the space around him to tremble slightly under his momentum.
"Mad Demon Fist!"
Simultaneously, the Asura roared crazily, as a demonic shadow appeared behind him, launching a punch towards the ground.
"Watch out!"
Feeling the danger, Luo Feng raised his brows, retreating while issuing a warning.
Xue Ziyi and Lin Hongyi hurriedly halted their advance.
In the next moment.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...
Thunder exploded from the center of the Asura’s fist, and cracks like a spider web rapidly spread, covering a range of hundreds of meters, with merciless cold demonic flames erupting from them, reaching over ten meters high.
"Such strong demonic qi!"
Luo Feng was struck by a demonic flame against his Protective Gang Energy, and felt a chilling qi force invading through it, attempting to freeze his internal yuan qi. He hastily activated the Divine Dragon Nine Changes to resist the cold energy.
Lin Hongyi and Xue Ziyi, being closer to the center of the demonic flames, faced a worse situation than Luo Feng, as the rolling demonic qi made them feel their limbs starting to go numb.
"Danger!"
With a flash of thought, Lin Hongyi pushed her yuan qi to the limit, her body radiating golden light. She clasped her hands together, pointed them at the Asura, and suddenly parted them.
"Mountain Opening Style!"
Unable to escape, Lin Hongyi chose not to flee but decided to confront head-on, aiming to at least cause mutual damage.
Rumble!
The ground cracked open, and an incomparably dense golden ribbon, carrying endless sharpness, instantly shot towards the Asura.
Caught off guard, the Asura was struck, forced to retreat step by step, each step leaving a deep footprint, with blood gushing from the wounds on his body.
"Such a great opportunity!"
Xue Ziyi’s beautiful eyes flashed, and with a light toe tap, her figure turned into a streak of violet light, appearing above the Asura in an instant. Her jade-like hand reached out, sending down an endless flurry of Flying Crane Palms, fiercely sweeping and enveloping the Asura in sharpness.
"Damn humans, once I catch you, I’ll devour your flesh and blood alive, only then my hatred will be relieved!"
Asura raised his head, his face twisted with a bloodthirsty glow in his eyes. Threads of blood-red rose from his demonic qi, spreading an aura of insane savagery.
"Blood of the Mad Demon!"
Upon seeing this, Xue Ziyi’s expression changed drastically.
Hearing this, Lin Hongyi’s expression also changed.
The Blood of the Mad Demon was no ordinary thing; it could be compared to the true yuan of a True Yuan Realm martial artist, showing its fearsome power.
Generally speaking, only a Great Asura would possess Blood of the Mad Demon. She never expected this Asura could wield it; even if its Blood of the Mad Demon was weak, it was anything but ordinary!
"Death Gale!"
With a long howl, the Asura locked his gaze on Luo Feng and the other two, and with a sweep of his wings, unleashed massive black light blades.
The black light blades were no longer pure black, with blood-red trails rising from their surfaces, emitting an evil, savage aura, akin to blood-stained scimitars, achieving an unprecedented speed and momentum.
Bam! Bam! Bam...
The endless streaks of Flying Crane Palms were utterly shattered before this storm of light blades, which surged unstintingly towards Luo Feng and the others.
"Retreat!"
Without any hesitation, Luo Feng pushed the Sky Cloud Step to its limit, his figure pulling a series of afterimages in the air, shooting backward at high speed.
