Martial Arts Overlord
Chapter 895 - 892: The Fairy
The sun gradually sank to the west, and golden sunlight pierced through the clouds, cascading from the sky like countless golden swords, casting vast expanses of golden glow that rendered Dayang City both dreamlike and mysterious.
At this moment, everyone finally saw the appearance of the martial arts arena, and each of them took a sharp breath.
In the slanting sunlight, the martial arts arena, spanning several miles around, was devoid of any intact spots, with thick cracks everywhere, and especially the two enormous pits over ten meters deep in the center, which were ghastly to behold.
"The strength of these two is terrifying; I wonder what other techniques they haven’t yet displayed. If the City Lord hadn’t arrived in time, we might not have been able to withstand even the aftermath of their clash."
"Indeed. The final exchange between them could injure all of us with its residual force."
"Listening to their conversation, it seems neither has yet exerted full strength. What a terrifying scene it would be if they continued to battle."
"We’ll know at the New Dragon List Conference in half a year. Given their prowess, they will surely clash again then..."
Beside the martial arts arena, ten masters from Dayang Mansion looked solemnly at the arena, which was changed beyond recognition, as their minds remained immersed in the breathtaking duel just witnessed.
Under everyone’s gaze, Luo Feng and Lin Hongyi walked out of the martial arena.
"The Mountain Cave Body Tempering Gang of Yuangang Hall truly lives up to its reputation; unfortunately, I only experienced four styles of the famed Five Peaks Style." Luo Feng glanced at the two huge pits in the center of the arena and smiled.
Five Peaks Style, he had experienced the Mountain Crusher, Mountain Opening Style, Mountain Crusher, and Merging Mountain Style, each possessing earth-shattering power, worthy of being Yuangang Hall’s top-tier tempering body cultivation technique; even in its early stages, the power is already extraordinary.
"The current Five Peaks Style is merely superficial, unable to exert even a fifth of its true power. Only by cultivating the complete Golden Jade God Form Skill and attaining the Gold and Jade Colored Glaze Body can its essence be realized."
Lin Hongyi spoke calmly, as if she recalled something, a trace of melancholy flashed in her bright eyes, and she said:
"Originally, at this hunting tournament, I aimed to secure a Demon General-level head, exchange it for the Golden Jade God Form Skill. In retrospect, this ambition was too lofty; my current strength is utterly insufficient to contend with Demon General-level experts. Before the next New Dragon List Conference, I wonder if I can cultivate the complete Golden Jade God Form Skill."
Shaking her head, Lin Hongyi’s pretty face showed a touch of regret, which soon faded; she looked up at Luo Feng and smiled:
"However, congratulations are in order. You’ve acquired the head of a half-step Great Asura, which can be exchanged for a manual of Earth-level cultivation technique."
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng felt a stir in his heart, smiling slightly.
"Luo Feng, are you all right?"
As they spoke, the two had reached outside the martial arena, Yang Wanyi approached, noticing their somewhat pale faces, and asked with concern.
"It’s nothing, just excessive Yuan Qi consumption, along with some impeded blood flow, rest for a while and I’ll recover. Thank you for your concern."
Luo Feng shook his head; the confrontation between him and Lin Hongyi seemed perilous, but in truth, both parties had restrained themselves, and neither was injured.
Turning back, Luo Feng glanced at Lin Hongyi, asked: "What are your plans now?"
"I plan to go to Black Iron City to forge the Asura Spike into a weapon."
This hunting tournament made Lin Hongyi realize the importance of weapons; eager to forge the Asura Spike Luo Feng sold her into gauntlets. With a pair of Fourth-grade Spirit Weapon gauntlets, her strength could increase by at least one or two levels.
"I still owe you ten thousand Second-grade Yuan Stones; would you want to go to Black Iron City with me?" Lin Hongyi suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Wanyi glanced at Luo Feng but did not speak.
Luo Feng shook his head, laughed: "I have matters to attend to, and I’ll stay in Dayang City for a few days. You can give me the ten thousand Second-grade Yuan Stones next time we meet."
"Alright."
Lin Hongyi did not hesitate, nodded in agreement, said: "Then I will take my leave first."
Black Iron City is only a few thousand miles from Dayang City, and such a great change has happened in Dayang City; she felt somewhat worried for Black Iron City’s safety, hoping to return quickly.
"Wait."
Luo Feng saw Lin Hongyi about to leave, halted her and said, "I have a gift for you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Hongyi stopped, looked at Luo Feng with some doubt in her eyes: "What gift?"
Luo Feng passed his hand over and produced a First-grade storage ring, handing it to Lin Hongyi, "This is for you."
Lin Hongyi took the storage ring suspiciously, and upon examining its contents, her expression changed slightly, looking up at Luo Feng, furrowed brows: "You intend to give me the Blood Saber Demon General’s head?"
"What?"
Hearing Lin Hongyi’s words, the nearby crowd was taken aback, even the ten stewards from Dayang Mansion looked shocked, staring at Luo Feng with incredulity.
The hunting tournament’s rewards had long spread throughout the Canglang Dynasty; they all knew what a Demon General-level expert’s head represented.
This is not merely an opportunity for fame, but also a chance to obtain an Earth-level cultivation technique manual and a Sixth-grade Spirit Pill, each worth a fortune. If it fell into the hands of the martial world, True Yuan Realm Martial Artists would fight fiercely for it, given that both Earth-level cultivation techniques and Sixth-grade Spirit Pills come from sacred grounds, extremely rare, yet Luo Feng casually gave it away.
Luo Feng’s expression remained composed, nodding: "Indeed."
Lin Hongyi’s eyes flickered with strange light, she asked: "Why?"
"If it weren’t for you desperately blocking that strike from the Blood Saber Demon General, the three of us might not be alive, a Demon General-level head compared to saving lives is trivial. Besides, both Waner and I already have a Demon General-level head, qualifying us for a top ten place in personal achievements. The Blood Saber Demon General’s head rightfully belongs to you; don’t you want to practice the Golden Jade God Form Skill?"
Luo Feng smiled lightly.
Seeing Luo Feng’s carefree demeanor, Lin Hongyi’s eyes flickered slightly.
She naturally understood the value of a Demon General-level expert’s head, and unexpectedly, Luo Feng really gave it to her so easily.
As for what Luo Feng mentioned about saving her life, she did not see it that way. The three of them challenged the Blood Saber Demon General together, retreating or advancing as one. In that situation, they couldn’t do without any one person; it wasn’t really about who saved whom.
Her beautiful eyes swept over the storage ring in her hand. Lin Hongyi took a gentle breath and said, "I will not refuse then. I will remember this kindness in my heart."
"No need to be polite."
Luo Feng smiled lightly. Regardless of her character or cultivation, he admired Lin Hongyi greatly. Although she was ranked twenty-fifth on the New Dragon List, she never acted arrogantly.
"I can’t take advantage of you for free,"
Lin Hongyi thought for a moment, took out a Spirit Mirror and handed it to Luo Feng, saying, "Take this Spirit Mirror."
Luo Feng received the Spirit Mirror, took a quick look, and Lin Hongyi continued, "If you get the chance, come to Black Iron City and use this Spirit Mirror to notify me. I know a place that might help with your Grand Momentum cultivation."
"Oh?"
Luo Feng’s eyes flashed, he nodded and said, "I’ll definitely visit if I get the chance."
Lin Hongyi nodded and said, "I will take my leave for now. Until we meet again, both of you!"
She saluted Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi, turned around, and walked away quickly, soon disappearing at the Martial Training Ground’s entrance.
Watching Lin Hongyi leave, Luo Feng glanced at the Spirit Mirror, his mind slightly moved: A place that helps with Grand Momentum cultivation—I wonder if it’s true...
At this moment, a figure approached; it was Dayang City Lord, Yang Dingtian.
"Father-in-law, about the Blood Saber Demon General’s head..." Luo Feng put away the Spirit Mirror, thinking of explaining about the Blood Saber Demon General’s head.
"The Blood Saber Demon General’s head was obtained by you. Naturally, its disposal is yours to decide."
Yang Dingtian shook his head, smiled gently, and didn’t ask much, then looked back at Yang Wanyi, saying, "Wanyi, when do you plan to depart for the Big Market City?"
Yang Wanyi glanced at Luo Feng and replied, "Tomorrow morning."
Yang Dingtian nodded, a serious look crossed his face, and he said:
"These days are full of turmoil; other business alliances are in constant waves. I can’t leave, can’t accompany you. The journey might have some unexpected developments, be cautious. I’ll have Steward Tian and them accompany you."
"Father, there’s no need."
Yang Wanyi shook her head, stepped forward, took Luo Feng’s right hand, and smiled: "My husband has already agreed to accompany me to the Big Market City for the Business Alliance Conference."
"Really?"
Yang Dingtian smiled broadly, looking at the two.
Luo Feng touched his nose awkwardly, nodded, and said, "Yes, I’ll accompany Wanyi to the Big Market City."
Yang Dingtian smiled slightly, patted Luo Feng’s shoulder: "Alright, then I’ll leave Wanyi to you."
"Husband, did you hear that? You must treat Wanyi well in the future."
Yang Wanyi blinked at Luo Feng, smiling brightly.
Luo Feng felt a bitter smile in his heart; it felt as if Yang Wanyi was already his wife.
Indeed, in front of Yang Wanyi, he couldn’t hold any verbal advantage.
"Alright, I have things to handle, won’t disturb you. I’ll have someone prepare a banquet later, as a send-off for you two."
Yang Dingtian nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave. Dayang City was besieged by the Blood Corpse, and many matters needed urgent handling.
What worried Yang Dingtian most was that yesterday, a hundred miles outside Dayang City, several Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artists’ dried corpses were found. Their bodies had no wounds, but their vital blood was completely drained. Ordinary Blood Corpses or Blood Corpses couldn’t possibly have such capability; he suspected it was the Blood Fiend.
If it truly was the Blood Fiend, it was imperative to eliminate it soon, or it would grow into a disaster.
Luo Feng watched Yang Dingtian leave, exhaled lightly, and smiled at Yang Wanyi: "When the truth comes out in the future, let’s see how you explain it to Father-in-law."
"Then let’s not explain. Anyway, my father seems quite pleased with having you as a son-in-law."
Yang Wanyi dismissed it casually, her lips pouting slightly, her gaze shifted as she looked at Luo Feng, a cunning smile playing at her lips:
"Otherwise, let’s turn the fake into reality, and then there won’t be any fear of exposure..."
Luo Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly:
"Do you think I won’t dare? Both your father has acknowledged us, and we live with just a wall between us. Later tonight, under the dark moon and wind, hehe..."
