Martial Arts Overlord
Chapter 880 - 877: Holding the Pass Alone, No Entry for the Demon General
Yang Wanyi looked at Lin Hongyi and whispered to Luo Feng:
"At the last New Dragon List Tournament, Lin Hongyi was ranked twenty-fifth, but there were always rumors that she didn’t exert her full strength. Her true strength could even compete for the top twenty."
Luo Feng withdrew his gaze and asked: "What do you think?"
Yang Wanyi thought for a moment and said:
"I think so too. Her Mountain Cave Body Tempering Gang has already been cultivated to the eighth level of Mountain Cave Condensation. Her defensive power and strength are extremely formidable. I think she has the strength to compete for the top fifteen."
"Hmm." Luo Feng nodded.
He also feels that Lin Hongyi’s strength isn’t simple. He just hasn’t had the chance to witness her true strength. Perhaps he’ll have the opportunity when the New Dragon List Tournament begins.
Lin Hongyi noticed the two, clapped her hands, and walked over, asking: "Where are the other three Blood Corpses?"
"All have been dealt with," Yang Wanyi replied.
Upon hearing this, Lin Hongyi glanced at Luo Feng, seeing him wounded. She quickly deduced about seventy to eighty percent of the situation, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, then she composed herself, but her estimate of Luo Feng’s importance increased further.
During her time with Luo Feng, she’s realized not to judge him by common sense.
Otherwise, the consequences would be serious, just like with Baili Xi.
Bang!
Luo Feng destroyed an approaching Blood Corpse with a palm strike, directing his gaze towards the sky.
In the distant sky, Master Huang and Old Master Chen were engaged in a fierce battle with the Blood Poison Demonic General, with no clear winner.
Elder Huang and the Blood Saber Demon General were also in a fierce exchange, the sky around them filled with saber qi, making it nearly impossible to see the figures inside.
Boom!
In his view, two awe-inspiring blades clashed.
In an instant, a dazzling blood light erupted, the nearby space distorted, a mountain peak close to them shattered and collapsed, and the shockwave spread in all directions, even felt here.
Luo Feng frowned slightly as he looked at the two opposing figures.
Though they seemed evenly matched, his soul power sensed Elder Huang’s aura weakening incrementally.
If his guess is right, the means to enhance his strength has reached its limit. Continuing further will lead to inevitable defeat.
"Luo Feng, what’s wrong?"
Yang Wanyi noticed the direction of Luo Feng’s gaze and asked.
Luo Feng replied: "Elder Huang probably won’t hold out much longer. We should go to lend him a hand."
Lin Hongyi punched and shattered over a dozen Blood Corpses from a hundred meters away into a rain of blood, frowning:
"With our strength, it’s probably difficult to intervene in a battle between top-tier Spiritual Rotation Realm experts."
Luo Feng knew Lin Hongyi was right. Their combined strength struggles against Blood Corpses, let alone the ninth level Blood Saber Demon General.
But sitting and waiting isn’t his style. Taking a deep breath, he said:
"We must try. If Elder Huang loses, there will be no one to stop the Blood Saber Demon General, and Dayang City will be in great danger."
Lin Hongyi raised her eyebrows, saying: "Then what do you propose?"
"We should find a way to sneak attack the Blood Saber Demon General. Though with our strength, we may not harm him, at least we might create an opportunity for Elder Huang," Luo Feng pondered.
"Alright."
"Let’s move. Don’t make a move on the way to avoid alerting the Blood Corpses and being detected," Luo Feng advised, ready to proceed.
"Wait."
Lin Hongyi stopped Luo Feng, saying: "My Qinggong is not as skilled as yours. I’m afraid I won’t be able to navigate through the Blood Corpses smoothly. Carry me along."
Luo Feng didn’t refuse, nodding: "Then hold onto my waist."
Lin Hongyi exhaled slightly and wrapped herself around Luo Feng’s waist from the right side as instructed.
At this moment, another figure approached, Yang Wanyi wrapped herself around Luo Feng from the left side, pouting and smiling: "I’m also not confident about crossing through the Blood Corpses smoothly."
Initially, carrying only Lin Hongyi didn’t feel like much, but now Yang Wanyi approached as well, the trio stood close together, and he immediately felt their skin, resembling jade, and their warm breaths, stirring him internally.
"Hehe... Luo Feng, your heart rate increased, are you worried about not managing to safely cross the Blood Corpses with us?"
Yang Wanyi gazed at Luo Feng with sparkling eyes, a teasing and mischievous smile on her face.
Lin Hongyi’s face reddened slightly at the remark; the three were close, naturally she felt the changes in Luo Feng’s heart rate.
Having experienced Yang Wanyi’s character before, Luo Feng couldn’t help but smile wryly but soon regained his composure, saying:
"Hold on tightly."
As his words fell, Luo Feng’s figure dashed, skimming the ground, leaving a trail of afterimages, already carrying the two women forward.
He pushed the Sky Cloud Step to the limit, moving incredibly fast, his form weaving through the Blood Corpses as a fish swims through water with agility.
The Blood Corpses sensed the aura of humans, but by the time they reacted, that trace of aura had disappeared, and the trio quietly moved towards the battle between the Blood Saber Demon General and Elder Huang without alerting a single Blood Corpse.
"Such strong Qinggong..."
The previous Qinggong realm demonstrated by Luo Feng already moved Lin Hongyi deeply, believing it was his limit. Only now she realized it wasn’t.
Yang Wanyi had never seen Luo Feng execute the Sky Cloud Step before; her astonishment was even greater than Lin Hongyi’s.
Swish!
The trio’s figures flickered with uncertainty, real yet false, several Blood Corpses prepared to howl but shook their heads and closed their mouths.
In a matter of breaths, Luo Feng led Lin Hongyi and Yang Wanyi across several miles, appearing below where Elder Huang and the Blood Saber Demon General were clashing.
Hiss!
At this moment, a shattering Qi Force swept over, its speed like a flash of lightning.
"Be careful!" Lin Hongyi’s willow eyebrows knitted together. The three were truly unfortunate; just as they arrived, Elder Huang and the Blood Saber Demon General happened to engage in a fierce exchange, and this Qi Force was the shockwave from their clash.
Even if it’s just a shockwave, its power is considerable, not to mention they couldn’t reveal their presence now. Otherwise, all their efforts would be in vain.
"Explode!"
Seeing the Qi Force shoot down, with a dull sound, Luo Feng’s feet lit with fire, and his speed suddenly accelerated as he shot forward.
Hiss!
Almost simultaneously, the Qi Force descended from the sky, shattering the afterimages the three had left behind, leaving a gigantic slash mark on the ground.
Swoosh!
Shooting into a field of chaotic rocks, Luo Feng came to a stop.
Lin Hongyi finally exhaled, looking at Luo Feng with amazement and asked, "How did you suddenly speed up so much just now?"
Yang Wanyi was similarly puzzled, as the situation was truly touch-and-go; a moment slower, and even if they weren’t injured, they would likely have been noticed by the Blood Saber Demon General.
Luo Feng replied, "You’ve probably seen me perform the Step of Sky-Burning Monarch. Just now, I merely controlled my Yuan Qi to perform a small version of it underfoot. However, there was a price to pay..."
With that, Luo Feng lifted his right foot. The shoes made from third-grade Demon Beast hide had completely ripped apart.
Lin Hongyi looked at Luo Feng with some admiration. Although Luo Feng spoke lightly of it, she understood in her heart that achieving this was not easy.
In such a dangerous moment, few can remain calm; moreover, controlling Yuan Qi is an ultimate test of a Martial Artist’s strength. A single mistake might blow their legs off.
But Luo Feng didn’t find it dangerous. To him, with his soul power, it wasn’t difficult to achieve.
"We’ve already arrived, aren’t you going to let go? Although I don’t mind." Luo Feng said.
Lin Hongyi was startled, then calmly withdrew her hand.
Yang Wanyi pouted her lush lips and released Luo Feng, coquettishly smiling, "Being embraced by the Fire Proud Sun and the Red-dusted Vajra, countless people in the Golden Palace yearn for such an opportunity. You’ve taken advantage, yet you’re not the least bit courteous."
Lin Hongyi said indifferently, "I was forced by circumstance, not embracing out of affection."
Luo Feng was helpless. Releasing his Soul Power, he said:
"Let’s leave the idle chatter for later. We shouldn’t have been detected by the Blood Saber Demon General. Prepare to act."
At these words, Yang Wanyi and Lin Hongyi’s eyes sharpened. They fell silent, looked up at the sky, and let Yuan Qi flow through their bodies, secretly building momentum.
Boom boom boom...
In the sky, the two top-tier experts of the Spiritual Rotation Realm were still fiercely engaged, unaware of the changes below.
"Cloudy Thousand Layers!"
Blood-colored flames erupted radiantly from Elder Huang, his hair and beard all spread, as he gripped his treasured blade and slashed at the Blood Saber Demon General.
Hiss!
The bright saber glow occupied half the sky, layer upon layer of saber light, like a thousand-layered cloud stream, or a mountain of blades brimming with edge, pressed forcefully towards the Blood Saber Demon General with unstoppable might.
Despite fighting for so long, it was still a stalemate. The Blood Saber Demon General’s patience had long worn thin. Seeing the saber glow, he didn’t evade in the slightest.
"Old fool, today I’ll cut you to pieces to vent my anger!"
With a roar, a blood glow enveloped the Blood Moon Crescent Blade in the Blood Saber Demon General’s hand, forming phantoms that issued deep, banshee-like wails, as if the devils of hell were descending upon the world.
"Ghostly Blood Moon Blade!"
At the peak of his momentum, the Blood Saber Demon General slashed with his saber.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
The clouds were torn asunder, and three massive blood-red saber Qis transformed into three eerie, crimson blood moons, meeting the layers of bright saber light.
Boom boom boom...
Two formidable and aggressive Qis clashed fiercely in mid-air, producing thunderous booms that shook the surrounding space.
Countless saber shadows shattered, two of the blood moon saber glows were obliterated, and the last one slashed at Elder Huang’s Protective Gang Energy.
Splurt!
Elder Huang’s body was forced back repeatedly, his face flushed red, as he spat out a large amount of fresh blood.
"Hahahahaha...old fool, you are nothing special. Let’s see how arrogant you are now. After I kill you, I’ll go to Dayang City to kill that brat Luo Feng and Yang Dingtian. As for Yang Dingtian’s daughter, Yang Wanyi, she’s a rare beauty. I might consider sparing her to be my lowly servant girl."
The Blood Saber Demon General felt Elder Huang’s aura rapidly weakening, his heart settled, and his wild laughter sent ripples through the air.
Elder Huang, face ashen, still held his gaze as sharp as ever, clutching his treasured blade, coldly saying:
"As long as I’m here, you won’t take another step."
"You seek death!"
The Blood Saber Demon General, furious, took a step forward, blood light boiling around his body, his blade emitting a blood Qi dozens of meters long, aiming to kill Elder Huang in one move.
"Now’s the time, strike!"
Seeing an opportunity, Luo Feng said to Lin Hongyi and Yang Wanyi.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of torn air erupted, and the three figures sped like electricity, simultaneously attacking the Blood Saber Demon General.
