Martial Arts Overlord
Chapter 862 - 860: Arrogant and Greedy for Merit
Swish! Swish!
Above the sea of clouds, two figures sped forward at an incredible pace, tearing the cloud sea into two halves with a fierce flow of air that took a long time to recombine.
After slaying two blood corpses and understanding the local terrain, Luo Feng and Lin Hongyi set off to leave Neighbor Water Village, heading south all the way.
"Luo Feng, why are you so sure the Blood Poison Demonic General will attack Dayang City?"
Lin Hongyi suddenly asked.
Luo Feng replied, "From the village chief’s description, when they went to Cold Mist Village, they didn’t encounter any blood corpses. Presumably, those blood corpses were taken elsewhere by Demon Sect disciples. If these Demon Sect disciples were merely venting their anger by killing people and turning villagers into blood corpses, there would be no need to take them away. The place that requires a large number of blood corpses for assault, within a radius of a thousand miles, is only Dayang City."
Actually, there is another reason Luo Feng did not mention.
That is, Yang Dingtian and the Blood Poison Demonic General have crossed paths before; the two are mortal enemies. The appearance of the Blood Poison Demonic General here is by no means a coincidence.
"Makes sense."
Lin Hongyi nodded slightly and asked, "What’s your plan now? With our strength, we might not be opponents. The Blood Poison Demonic General’s power is no less than the Blood Saber Demon General."
Luo Feng turned his gaze and said, "Don’t worry, I’m not arrogant enough to challenge a demon general-level expert. We’ll first find a few Demon Sect disciples to inquire about the situation before making plans."
Lin Hongyi scratched an awkward smile, she indeed was a bit worried that Luo Feng might act recklessly. This time the situation is different; without the suppression of the Devouring Yuan Realm, they are completely powerless in front of a demon general-level expert.
Luo Feng glanced at Lin Hongyi, "How much has your strength recovered now? There may be a tough battle ahead."
Lin Hongyi flicked her finger, and a golden light shot out, slicing the cloud layer a kilometer away directly in half, and said:
"This time it’s all internal injuries, recovery is slower, currently about sixty or seventy percent. But, dealing with martial artists at Spiritual Rotation Realm Level Six shouldn’t be a problem."
"Sixty to seventy percent."
Luo Feng was somewhat surprised; this speed is already quite astonishing.
Lin Hongyi glanced at Luo Feng, "Let’s not talk about me; your realm seems to have made a breakthrough."
"Yes, my cultivation technique and cultivation have improved."
There’s no need to hide such matters, nor can it be hidden, Luo Feng admitted directly. As for the breakthrough in Grand Momentum, he didn’t mention it. Currently, besides the Divine Dragon Nine Changes, Grand Momentum is his greatest trump card.
Lin Hongyi smiled and said, "This time at the hunting conference, you really made a name for yourself. I’m afraid no one expected you to enter the top ten of the personal achievements."
Luo Feng shook his head, "Having fame is useless. If not for having good luck this time, we all would have already bled on Mount Heimang. Strength is paramount; the world talks with strength and not fame. In the face of absolute strength, no one cares about how famous you are."
"Well said."
Lin Hongyi thought of the rumors between Luo Feng and the top ten new dragons such as Lu Xiao Yun, her eyes flashed slightly, nodding in agreement, feeling a bit of admiration for Luo Feng’s insight and courage.
"Below should be Cold Mist Village."
Luo Feng suddenly glanced downward and said.
Lin Hongyi looked down, amidst the undulating mountains and forests, there was a small village; stone buildings built by the mountain seem chaotic but ordered, yet in the streets of the village, not a single person could be seen, desolate and lonely, like a dead city.
"These Demon Sect disciples are truly ruthless, even attacking ordinary people." Lin Hongyi frowned slightly and said coldly.
Luo Feng nodded and said, "A hundred miles further south is South Mountain Town. We’ll go there and see; maybe we can find traces of Demon Sect disciples."
A distance of a hundred miles is just an hour at their speed.
Howl! Howl! Howl...
On the way, passing through a barren mountain, a series of roars like those of wild beasts came from ahead.
"Those are the roars of blood corpses."
Lin Hongyi stopped, her gaze looking at the other side of the mountain forest.
"Yes, let’s go and take a look."
Luo Feng’s figure dashed towards the direction of the sound.
Over the barren mountain, the two simultaneously looked downward.
"So many blood corpses!"
Lin Hongyi raised her eyebrows.
On the mountain road below, there were countless figures. These people had eyes like blood, their whole body emanating a dim blood light, with claws growing on their limbs, looking identical to the blood corpses seen earlier.
Near the blood corpses, there were more than a dozen Blood Demon Sect disciples dressed in black cloaks.
"Let’s take action."
Luo Feng ordered, and his figure swooped downward.
"Someone’s here!"
Hearing the commotion, those Blood Demon Sect disciples immediately noticed the two.
"It’s martial artists of the Spiritual Rotation Realm!"
"Hehe, perfect timing; if we kill them, there’ll be two more blood corpses. Blood corpses transformed from Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artists are extremely powerful; the lord will certainly reward us."
"Kill!"
Among the dozen Blood Demon Sect disciples, six were martial artists of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. Seeing Luo Feng and Lin Hongyi, they immediately moved in.
"Thunder Fire Shocking Heavens!"
Luo Feng’s speed did not decrease as he slashed down with his saber.
Boom boom boom...
A dazzling unmatched red saber beam descended from the sky, influenced by the saber intent. The air within a hundred meters radius began to solidify, faintly visible were flashes of thunder and fire within.
Thud!
Three Blood Demon Sect disciples didn’t have time to scream in agony before their bodies were split in two.
Lin Hongyi also took action simultaneously. She burst out with brilliant golden light, clasped her hands together, and suddenly split towards the direction of the Blood Demon Sect disciples.
Shh!
A golden streak extended outward, and the bodies of the Blood Demon Sect disciples ahead seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, splitting in mid-air. A rain of blood poured down from the sky. The impact of the golden streak did not diminish, rushing into the mountain path, and hundreds of blood corpses were torn to shreds.
"The captain is dead!"
"These two are not ordinary warriors of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, run!"
"Go to South Mountain Town to find the Young Master."
The remaining Blood Demon Sect disciples saw six people killed within the blink of an eye, scared nearly out of their wits, and as they came to their senses, they prepared to flee.
"Trying to run?"
Lin Hongyi coldly laughed and made a grabbing motion with her right hand in the air. Instantly, a nearby small mountain peak was lifted and smashed towards the direction in which the Blood Demon Sect disciples were fleeing.
Boom!
The earth trembled, and two Blood Demon Sect disciples along with countless blood corpses were crushed into meat paste. The remaining five Demon Sect members were scared out of their wits, collapsing to the ground one by one.
Looking at the small mountain peak obstructing the mountain road, Luo Feng was secretly shocked: such powerful strength, and this was merely six or seventy percent of her power. In her peak state, she would be even more terrifying, no wonder she is called the Red-dusted Vajra.
While pondering, Luo Feng landed on the ground alongside Lin Hongyi.
The nearby blood corpses, sensing fresh blood, let out beast-like low growls, immediately rushing over, but before they got close, they were instantly obliterated by the two.
"Who are you two!"
Seeing the two approaching, a Blood Demon Sect disciple feigned bravado, shouting coldly.
Shh!
As soon as the words ended, a cold light flashed, and the head of the speaking Demon Sect disciple flew high into the air.
Luo Feng glanced indifferent at the remaining Blood Demon Sect disciples and said coldly, "You only need to answer my questions, say one more word and you die!"
Seeing Luo Feng’s thunderous methods, the four Blood Demon Sect disciples were terrified, nodding repeatedly.
They were merely warriors of the Meridian Wheel Realm, like ants in front of warriors of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. Besides, from the fight just now, these two were clearly not ordinary warriors of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.
"Why are you brutally slaughtering innocent ordinary people to manufacture blood corpses? Is the Demon Realm of West Desert planning to start a war with the territory of a hundred nations now?" Luo Feng asked.
Upon hearing this, the four Blood Demon Sect disciples felt a chill in their hearts. They were hoping to muddle through, but did not expect the other party already knew they were Blood Demon Sect disciples.
"This..."
A Blood Demon Sect disciple hesitated. Seeing Luo Feng’s icy gaze, he couldn’t help but say:
"I’ll speak... I’ll speak... Our West Desert Demon Sect does not plan to start an all-out war with the territory of a hundred nations. However, this time, the Twelve Golden Palaces attacked the Demon Sect’s stronghold, causing severe losses to us, and the Young Master lost an arm, angering the Demon General. Thus, we aim to blood-slaughter ten cities in retaliation! Dayang City is the first city, so the Young Master instructed us to manufacture blood corpses nearby, preparing to attack Dayang City."
Luo Feng’s words contained a hint of Grand Momentum, directly crushing the spirits of these Demon Sect disciples, causing them to spill everything they knew like beans from a bamboo tube.
"Blood-slaughter ten cities!"
Lin Hongyi took a deep breath, surprised to glance at Luo Feng, not expecting Luo Feng’s prediction to be right.
Luo Feng was also surprised, not expecting the Blood Poison Demonic General to act so crazily, planning to blood-wash ten cities to retaliate against the Twelve Golden Palaces’ actions.
The population of Dayang City alone is in the tens of millions; should the opposing side truly blood-wash ten cities, the death toll would be terrifying.
"Your Young Master, is he Baili Xi?" Luo Feng thought of something and asked.
The Demon Sect disciple nodded vigorously, "Yes. This time, the Young Master entered the Canglang Dynasty and was unexpectedly crippled in his right hand, prompting this action."
"So it’s him."
Luo Feng coldly smiled. It seems Baili Xi is seeking revenge for the previous incident with such a frenzied retaliation.
"Do you know Baili Xi?" Lin Hongyi couldn’t help but ask.
"Met him once."
Luo Feng simply answered with three words, not elaborating much on his previous encounter with Baili Xi, and looked at the Blood Demon Sect disciples on the ground and asked:
"When do you plan to attack Dayang City, and where are Baili Xi and the Blood Poison Demonic General now?"
"You intend to confront the Young Master and the Demon General? That’s impossible! The Young Master alone can easily slaughter you both," a Blood Demon Sect disciple exclaimed.
"Is that so?"
Luo Feng casually struck the ground, leaving a deep palm print, and said indifferently, "But your Young Master, who is supposedly incomparably powerful, has had his right hand crippled by me."
"It was you who crippled the Young Master’s right hand!"
The four Blood Demon Sect disciples stared with wide eyes, filled with disbelief.
Lin Hongyi was also surprised. From what she knew, Baili Xi was a renowned young talent in the Blood Demon Sect, now already in the mid-level of the seventh tier of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, with formidable strength.
A Blood Demon Sect disciple secretly thought: The Young Master mentioned that the person who crippled his right hand was an elder from Linglong Hall. The person before us is at most an inner sect disciple of the Golden Palace; how could he be the Young Master’s opponent? Such blatant lying is truly laughable. He inquired about the Young Master’s whereabouts out of arrogance. Fine, I’ll divulge the Young Master’s location to have him dealt with by the Young Master!
With this thought, the Blood Demon Sect disciple’s eyes flashed coldly, and he looked up and said:
"The day the Demon General arrives will be the day we attack Dayang City. Last night, the Young Master received the Demon General’s letter and will arrive tonight. Presumably, tomorrow we will attack Dayang City. As for the Young Master, he’s in South Mountain Town, fifty miles away."
"South Mountain Town..."
Luo Feng raised his eyebrows.
"What do you plan to do with us?"
The four Demon Sect disciples looked tense.
"You’ve answered my questions, so I won’t make things difficult for you, and will give you a swift end."
Having obtained the information he wanted, there was no need to leave the four behind. Luo Feng raised his hand and sword, cutting down the four on the ground.
"Luo Feng, did you truly cripple Baili Xi’s right hand?"
Lin Hongyi did not look at the corpses on the ground but instead looked at Luo Feng with beautiful eyes, puzzled.
