Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 716 - 714: Bear the Consequences
Facing the gaze of the opulent young man, Qing Ling gently bit her red lip, her bare little feet withdrawing back under her skirt.
Luo Feng frowned slightly and said to Qing Ling, "We’re leaving."
"Wait a moment!"
The opulent young man, seeing Luo Feng intending to leave, gave a cold laugh. With a wave of his hand, his four followers immediately filed out, blocking their path.
Luo Feng stopped, his cold gaze fixed on the opulent young man. He calmly asked, "Do you need something?"
The opulent young man’s heated gaze swept over Qing Ling before turning to Luo Feng. "I want to make a deal with you."
"What kind of deal?" Luo Feng asked coldly.
The opulent young man pointed at Qing Ling, looking down on them condescendingly as he said, "She’s a slave, right? Name your price. She’s mine."
Hearing the opulent young man’s words, Qing Ling’s delicate figure recoiled slightly. Her eyes, blazing with anger, glared at him, and she bared her small, sharp teeth. Then, as if remembering something, she looked up at Luo Feng and murmured softly, "Master..."
Luo Feng patted Qing Ling’s small head and looked at the opulent young man. "Scram!"
At his word, the opulent young man’s expression stiffened for a moment. Then, he clenched his fists tightly, his face flushing red, and his sinister gaze locked onto Luo Feng.
In Yellow Mountain Town, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this—never!
Seeing the opulent young man’s darkened expression, the four Martial Artists beside him snorted coldly. Each took a step forward, surrounding Luo Feng and Qing Ling, their gazes menacing.
The street was bustling with people. Sensing the unusual atmosphere, many turned to look. Upon seeing the opulent young man, many of their expressions changed.
"This young lad is unlucky, actually catching the eye of the Li Family’s young master."
"It seems the Li Family’s young master has taken a fancy to that little girl."
"Tsk tsk, the Li Family’s young master is notorious for his philandering ways, loving and leaving. If this girl falls into his hands..."
The surrounding crowd, witnessing the standoff, looked at Luo Feng and Qing Ling with an air of pity.
On the other side of the street, the middle-aged Shopkeeper of a roadside tavern watched the opulent young man and Luo Feng, shaking his head and sighing, "Running into the Li Family’s young master, this boy is probably out of luck today."
"Why?" a voice asked from nearby.
The middle-aged Shopkeeper turned his head and saw two colossal beasts, causing his neck to shrink back slightly in fear.
"Don’t be afraid. They won’t hurt anyone without my command."
The man seated at a tavern table, draining a bowl of wine, laughed heartily. It was the young man from the Wild tribe whom Luo Feng had encountered earlier.
Looking at the two Red Flame Tigers lying motionless on the ground, the middle-aged Shopkeeper composed himself slightly and said, "Young hero, you may not know this. That young master of the Li Family is the Townlord’s son, a notorious profligate. No one in this area dares to provoke him."
"This is the Imperial City’s territory, part of the Canglang Dynasty. In your words, it’s right under the Emperor’s nose. Can a mere Townlord truly cover the sky with one hand here?" the young man scoffed.
The two Red Flame Tigers’ eyes glinted ferociously, and they let out low growls from their throats.
The middle-aged Shopkeeper shook his head. "Not only that, but the Townlord also has significant connections with the Qingyun Mansion. His younger sister is a concubine to the Azure Cloud Marquis, one of the six great King Marquises. It’s because of this connection that he dares to be so arrogant and domineering..."
"Qingyun Mansion?"
The young man’s thick eyebrows rose. "The Princely Heir of Qingyun Mansion, Yi Tian, is the one participating in the life-and-death duel this time, right?"
"Indeed," the middle-aged Shopkeeper nodded.
The young man put down his wine bowl and snorted, "Truly a dog relying on its master’s power. It seems the people in Qingyun Mansion are no good either."
The Shopkeeper’s expression changed in alarm. He glanced around and then sighed in relief. He knew the Wild tribe only respected the strong, and if they continued talking, who knew what treasonous words might be spoken. So he said no more.
The young man paid him no mind, looking towards the center of the crowd and grinning. "However, you’re worried about the wrong person. You should be worried about that Townlord’s son. Wouldn’t you agree?"
The young man looked towards the two Red Flame Tigers beside him.
GRRR...
The two colossal beasts, as if possessing human-like intelligence, growled in unison.
"Worried for the Li Family’s young master?"
The middle-aged Shopkeeper paused.
The young man nodded, looking at Luo Feng with slightly narrowed eyes. "This man carries the aura of a fierce beast, and not just any ordinary one."
Hearing this, the Shopkeeper shook his head. People from the Southern Forest Wilderness truly are unreasonable.
However, he was quite generous with his silver...
The Shopkeeper weighed the silver in his hand, a smile spreading across his face.
「In the crowd」
The opulent young man looked at Luo Feng and sneered. "Don’t you even see where you are? How dare you act so brazenly before me! Kneel immediately, admit your mistake, and then offer this little girl to me. I might consider letting you live..."
"No need to consider."
Luo Feng waved his hand, cutting off the opulent young man’s words. "I don’t know who you are, nor do I care to find out," he said coldly. "Disappear from my sight at once, or face the consequences!"
"Hahahaha..."
Hearing Luo Feng’s words, the opulent young man burst out laughing as if he had heard the most hilarious joke in the world.
The nearby Martial Artists and merchants all looked at each other, astounded. They hadn’t expected that even now, this young man would have such audacity to speak so brazenly to the Townlord’s son. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"I’d like to see what consequences there will be!"
His laughter died, and the opulent young man fixed Luo Feng with a cold, sinister gaze, waving his hand and shouting, "Attack! Cripple this brat!"
"Yes!"
"Brat, you dared to offend our young master. You’ve brought all of this upon yourself."
The four burly Martial Artists slowly closed in on Luo Feng, their faces contorted with ferocity.
Luo Feng’s lips curled into a cold smirk. Of these four, only one had stepped into the Spiritual Rotation Realm, and he was merely a first-level Martial Artist of that realm. The other three were still only ninth-level Martial Artists of the Meridian Wheel Realm.
"Die!"
Closing to within three steps, the foremost Martial Artist let out a low roar and unleashed a fierce punch at Luo Feng. The punch was like sudden thunder, its power like that of a savage tiger, the violent fist aura relentlessly battering the air.
Luo Feng didn’t even raise his eyes, casually striking out with a palm.
"Ah!"
CRACK!
A crisp sound echoed. The Martial Artist screamed, his body flying backward before crashing heavily to the ground. His right arm was bent at an unnatural angle; it was clearly crippled.
"He’s an expert! Attack together!"
The sole Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist’s face changed slightly. He roared angrily and, along with the remaining two, lunged at Luo Feng.
BOOM!
The three Martial Artists attacked in unison. Their Yuan Qi surged forth like a mighty tide, merging with their murderous intent. It blasted the air in successive explosions, and a fierce wind swept through the entire street; the combined force was terrifying.
Luo Feng stood his ground, shielding Qing Ling behind him, as immovable as a mountain.
"He’s not even dodging!"
The surrounding onlookers, seeing Luo Feng stand firm, all wore expressions of shock.
BOOM!
The three Martial Artists’ astonishingly powerful attack whistled through the air and slammed viciously into Luo Feng.
Instantly, potent energy erupted outwards, blanketing everything, and the ground itself was blasted open, cracking layer by layer.
「The next moment」
Three agonizing screams rang out in succession. Before the astonished eyes of the crowd, the three Martial Artists who had been assailing Luo Feng all spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood and were sent flying.
"What just happened?"
Everyone nearby, including the opulent young man, was stunned, their mouths hanging slightly ajar.
