Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 735 - 733: Luo Feng, Prepare to Die!

Luo Feng followed the crowd’s gazes toward the valley entrance, his expression also one of shock.

FLAP!

At the valley entrance, a banner unfurled in the wind, cracking sharply.

The banner was triangular, crimson red, bordered with flame-like gold trim. In its center, a large, dazzling ’Yang’ character shone brilliantly.

Beneath the banner, ten Martial Artists clad in golden armor entered the valley.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

The ten Martial Artists marched in unison. With every step, the entire valley seemed to tremble. A frigid aura emanated from them, making them resemble ancient Demon Beasts.

Leading the ten golden-armored Martial Artists, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes walked with his hands clasped behind his back. His calm demeanor belied a formidable presence, his eyes sharp as lightning. Those with lower Cultivation couldn’t help but lower their gazes when they met his.

"It’s the City Lord of Dayang City, Yang Dingtian!"

"And the ten Golden Sun Iron Guards!"

"I can’t believe the renowned City Lord of Dayang City, Yang Dingtian, is here. He hasn’t shown up in the Imperial City for almost twenty years since that incident. I wonder why he came all of a sudden. Could it be just for the showdown between Luo Feng and Yi Tian?"

"Huh, what happened back then?" someone asked.

"Don’t you know?"

A man shook his head, looking at Yang Dingtian, who had just entered the valley, and said, "Twenty years ago, Yang Dingtian and his wife were both renowned experts in the rtiad. By a stroke of luck, Yang Dingtian rescued one of the Emperor’s beloved concubines from the Demon Sect. The Emperor intended to enfeoff him as the seventh King Marquis. However, on their way to the Imperial City for the investiture, they were ambushed by the Demon Sect. Only he and a baby girl managed to escape. After that, he renounced the title of King Marquis and became the City Lord of Dayang City."

After a pause, the man added, "By the way, that baby girl is now Linglong Hall’s ’Fire Proud Sun’—Yang Wanyi!"

"I can’t believe such a thing happened. No wonder he hasn’t set foot in the Imperial City for twenty years. I wonder what he is here for this time?"

Gazing at the crimson banner fluttering in the wind, the crowd buzzed with discussion, many in disbelief.

"It really is the City Lord of Dayang City, Yang Dingtian. I can’t believe he would enter the Imperial City again. And he’s brought the Golden Sun Iron Guards..."

Azure Cloud Marquis looked at Yang Dingtian, his expression somewhat surprised.

Yi Tian looked at Yang Dingtian, his gaze flickering slightly, as he thought to himself: Yang Dingtian is a strong candidate to break into the True Yuan Realm. Each of his Golden Sun Iron Guards is strong, and it is rumored that his daughter ’Fire Proud Sun’ Yang Wanyi is an absolute beauty. If he can get on good terms with this man...

With this thought, Yi Tian turned to Azure Cloud Marquis and said, "Father, I will go and greet City Lord Yang."

"Good."

Azure Cloud Marquis had already seen through Yi Tian’s intentions and nodded.

Yi Tian rose and approached Yang Dingtian, a smile on his face as he cupped his hands in greeting, "Welcome City Lord Yang to Phoenix Soaring Mountain. I am the Princely Heir of Qingyun Mansion, Yi Tian..."

Yang Dingtian gave a cold nod.

Yi Tian knew that such big shots could be unpredictable in their moods and didn’t mind it.

"City Lord Yang, my match with Luo Feng will not start until later. Why don’t you sit over there first? I’ve prepared some high-quality Cloud Spirit Mist Tea..."

Just as Yi Tian was about to invite Yang Dingtian over, Yang Dingtian spotted Luo Feng on the opposite side, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Son-in-law!"

Ignoring the stunned Yi Tian, Yang Dingtian vanished and reappeared in front of Luo Feng, laughing loudly, "Son-in-law, so you’re here!"

The words "Son-in-law" hung in the air. At that, Phoenix Soaring Mountain fell silent. Everyone stared at Luo Feng in disbelief, including Yi Tian, who stood awkwardly to the side.

Luo Feng had initially planned to hide behind Ling Qingwu to avoid Yang Dingtian, but now that escape was impossible, he could only cup his hands and say, "Father-in-law!"

The words "Father-in-law!" sent another shockwave through the crowd.

"HAHAHAHAHA..."

Yang Dingtian laughed proudly and slapped Luo Feng on the shoulder, saying, "I’ve heard about it. Challenging a New Dragon List expert as a mere academy student—you truly are worthy of being my son-in-law! Rest assured, I’ll fully support you. It’s a pity Waner is recovering from her injuries and couldn’t come to watch."

Upon hearing Yang Dingtian’s words, the smile on Yi Tian’s face gradually froze, and his expression became somewhat distorted. He had never expected Luo Feng to have such close ties with the City Lord of Dayang City. Thinking about his earlier intentions of befriending Yang Dingtian and even harboring desires for Yang Wanyi, Yi Tian felt a burning pain on his face, as if he had been slapped hard. He snorted coldly, returned to his seat and glared at Luo Feng, his face ghastly pale.

Meanwhile, the spectator stands erupted.

"Did I hear it wrong? Luo Feng just called Yang Dingtian ’Father-in-law’."

"You didn’t hear wrong. Just now Yang Dingtian also called Luo Feng ’son-in-law’."

"What on earth is going on? How can Luo Feng know such a person as Yang Dingtian, and also become his son-in-law?"

"You’re asking me? How should I know?"

"Yang Dingtian’s son-in-law, isn’t that the same as saying Luo Feng is Yang Wanyi’s husband? I’ve had the honor of seeing Yang Wanyi once, and she was utterly stunning. How on earth did Luo Feng get so lucky!"

"Indeed, Yang Wanyi is one of Linglong Hall’s Shuang Jiaoyang, unparalleled in beauty, my dream lover..."

A wave of clamor swept through the spectator stands. All eyes were on Luo Feng, filled with a mixture of jealousy, shock, and, above all, envy.

Yue Chongshan and others were also quite surprised. Nanxuan stealthily nudged Lin Yue’er and asked, "Yang Dingtian is Senior Sister Yang Wanyi’s father, and Luo Feng called Yang Dingtian ’Father-in-law’, doesn’t that make him Senior Sister Yang Wanyi’s..."

"Senior Sister Yang Wanyi’s husband."

Lin Yue’er was somewhat lost for words; even the usually composed Ling Qingwu was momentarily speechless.

Luotian was the first to recover. Looking at Yang Dingtian with some hesitation, he asked, "I am Luo Feng’s father, Luotian. May I ask, are you really the City Lord of Dayang City, Yang Dingtian?"

Hearing this, Yang Dingtian laughed. "Ah, so you’re my kinsman! Yes, I am indeed Yang Dingtian, the City Lord of Dayang City."

Luo Feng, standing beside him, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Yang Dingtian’s timing was indeed impeccable, but it also made things far more complicated.

"Luo Feng, what’s going on here? Could it be... you and Yang Wanyi already..." Yue Haitang came to Luo Feng’s side, hesitated for a moment, and then bit her lip as she asked.

A wry smile touched Luo Feng’s lips as he sent a voice transmission: "This is a long story. I’ll explain it to you later."

"Oh..." Yue Haitang nodded, wanting to say something but then stopping.

One wave had yet to settle, and another was already rising.

Just as everyone was still reeling from Yang Dingtian’s sudden appearance, three more figures appeared at the valley entrance. As if under the influence of an invisible aura, the crowd’s murmurs gradually subsided, all eyes focusing on the valley entrance.

"Elder Hai, Su Xiaokang..."

Seeing the newcomers, Luo Feng’s eyebrows twitched. One was Elder Hai, whom he had seen the previous night. Another was Su Xiaokang, the ’Azure Cloud Flying Dragon,’ whom he had met a few times.

Beside Elder Hai stood a young man of seventeen or eighteen. His face was like polished jade, and his eyes, like stars in the night sky, held a restrained brilliance. Though dressed in simple green casual attire, he exuded an air of inherent nobility.

"The Second Prince!"

Seeing the newcomer, Xu Rong, the field master of the Phoenix Soaring Mountain Autumn Hunting Ground, was taken aback and quickly stepped forward to welcome him. The young man in green was none other than the Second Prince of the Canglang Dynasty.

The Second Prince cast his gaze over everyone, pausing momentarily on the Crown Prince before moving directly towards Luo Feng.

"Luo Feng, I never expected that in such a short time, you could grow to this extent."

Luo Feng was taken aback and asked the Second Prince, "Have you met me before?"

Elder Hai chuckled. "When you participated in the Red Maple Lead Summit, the Second Prince and I happened to be passing by and noticed you. At the time, we both thought you wouldn’t reach the Spiritual Rotation Realm until you were eighteen. It seems we vastly underestimated you."

Luo Feng gave a faint smile, glanced at the Second Prince, and said, "A lot has happened."

"So the Second Prince is here. And he is clearly supporting Luo Feng. Coupled with Su Xiaokang from Azure Cloud Flying Dragon, it seems Yi Tian and Luo Feng are now evenly matched."

"Mm. The Second Prince, not yet eighteen, is already a Martial Artist at the fifth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. For his age, that’s truly outstanding—far superior to the Crown Prince."

"SHH! Don’t speak so recklessly. It’ll be trouble if someone overhears."

"I was just stating the facts..."

The appearance of the Second Prince came as a surprise to everyone.

At this point, the Crown Prince rose, looked at the Second Prince, and said coldly, "Second Brother, I didn’t expect you to be here."

The Second Prince calmly said, "Luo Feng is the Martial Champion of the Six Southern Domains, and Yi Tian is the Princely Heir of the Qingyun Mansion. With these two dueling, how could I not come?"

The Crown Prince’s expression turned ugly as he pointed at the Second Prince. "You don’t need to pretend in front of me. You clearly want to oppose me!"

"Big Brother, why would you say that?" The Second Prince frowned slightly.

With a stern face, the Crown Prince said, "You know very well that I’m supporting Yi Tian, yet you stand with Luo Feng. Aren’t you just trying to make me look bad! I know you’ve long been discontented with me, your elder brother. Very well! Let’s see today whose judgment is superior!"

The Second Prince calmly replied, "If Big Brother insists, then I shall oblige. I believe Luo Feng will win."

"HMPH! So you’re short-sighted and will always be inferior to me! He thinks he can win? Dream on! Yi Tian will definitely defeat Luo Feng!" The Crown Prince squinted, his expression turning ugly with exasperation.

Xu Rong stood aside, watching the sharp confrontation between the two princes, and found himself breaking into a cold sweat. He felt like he was dancing in a tiger’s den.

Looking up at the sun, which had already risen to its zenith, a hint of relief flickered across Xu Rong’s face. Clearing his throat, he announced, "The hour has arrived!"

"Yi Tian, teach that brat a harsh lesson!" the Crown Prince ordered Yi Tian.

Yi Tian nodded and stood up. His gaze fixed on Luo Feng, eyes narrowing slightly, then erupting with astonishing battle intent. With a light tap of his toes, he seemed to become weightless, soaring out. His feet tapped the water’s surface several times, like a dragonfly skimming water, before he landed on the central arena platform.

The surface of the water remained undisturbed.

"Walking on Waves!"

"What amazing Qinggong skills!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Cries of amazement echoed from the spectator stands.

Standing on the arena platform, hearing the astonished cries around him, Yi Tian wore a smug expression. He looked down imperiously at Luo Feng. "Luo Feng, come up and die."

"Feng Er, be careful!"

"Luo Feng, be careful!"

Yang Qing, Yue Haitang, and others all looked at Luo Feng anxiously.

Luo Feng gave them a reassuring glance and walked to the edge of the water pool.

You want to compare Qinggong skills with me?

Glancing at Yi Tian, Luo Feng smiled faintly. He stepped onto the surface of the water, strolling towards the arena platform as if on solid ground. Where he passed, the water showed not the slightest ripple; even the Demon Beasts swimming nearby remained oblivious.

"This... Walking on Waves! Luo Feng has also performed Walking on Waves!"

"No, it’s Effortless Grace. What Luo Feng performed is the true Walking on Waves, superior to Yi Tian’s Qinggong!"

Watching Luo Feng stroll across the water’s surface with such ease, the spectator stands erupted once more.
