Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 697 - 695: I Will Spare Your Life

All these changes happened in the twinkling of an eye. Luo Feng took a step forward, the air beneath his foot solidifying as if it were a mountain. With his palm as a blade, he slashed towards Lengxiao.

"Golden Sun Breaking Slash!"

BOOM!

The surrounding air trembled slightly, causing a shocking upheaval as a circular Saber Gang materialized and collided with the spear shadows that filled the sky.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Countless spear shadows appeared, but before the crimson Saber Gang, they offered no resistance, quickly shattering and dissipating.

Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, the circular saber wheel, showing no signs of weakening, slashed towards Lengxiao at lightning speed.

"The Dali Dynasty’s Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber!"

Lengxiao’s face was full of horror. As the leader of the Cold Origin Adventure Group, his experience was vast. He recognized at a glance that the technique Luo Feng was currently displaying was the famous Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber Technique of the Dali Dynasty!

This Saber Technique was a superior Profound Level Martial Arts, even higher in rank than his Burst Cloud Sound Spear, and its power was extraordinarily domineering.

Moreover, the young man before him had already reached the six suns realm in his Saber Technique cultivation, a terrifying achievement indeed!

"Exploding Flame Soul Chasing!"

Not daring to slack off in the slightest, Lengxiao circulated his Yuan Qi to its absolute limit. The fiery light enveloping his body flared intensely, almost dyeing half the sky red. Endless sharpness emanated from his spear as he thrust it straight out.

CRACK!

Amidst the thunderous noise, Lengxiao’s Spear Gang shattered. He spat out blood, his body falling from the sky like a broken sack and crashing into the ground.

On his left shoulder was a saber wound so deep the bone was visible. His spear was long gone.

"You..." Barely propping himself up, Lengxiao stared fixedly at Luo Feng, his face ashen, his whole body trembling.

He couldn’t accept that he had been defeated by a nameless young man. How could the difference in strength be so vast when they were both at the early fifth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm?! He had been defeated in just two moves.

The entire street fell into an eerie silence. The Martial Artists present stood with their mouths agape, dumbfounded.

Lengxiao, a Martial Artist at the early fifth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, had been grievously injured in just two moves. What incredible strength!

"This kid... he’s terrifying!"

After a long pause, a middle-aged Martial Artist exclaimed. The onlookers nodded in agreement. One person said, "Lengxiao is also an early fifth-layer Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist. His Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts are both Profound Level. How could he be defeated so miserably?"

"Don’t underestimate this young man. If I’m not mistaken, the Saber Technique he just executed is the Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber from the Dali Dynasty."

"Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber, no wonder. This Saber Technique is among the best of superior Profound Level Martial Arts, incredibly domineering. It’s rumored that upon reaching Great Accomplishment, it can rival ultimate Profound Level Martial Arts. However, it’s extremely difficult to cultivate. For this young man to cultivate it to the six suns realm is truly remarkable."

"Truly remarkable. With such strength at his young age, he shouldn’t be a nobody. Do any of you recognize him?"

The young Martial Artist who had previously felt Luo Feng looked familiar stared at Luo Feng’s figure and suddenly said,

"I remember now. He looks a lot like someone."

"Who?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"This year’s number one Martial Champion of the Six Southern Domains, Luo Feng!"

"Luo Feng? You must be joking! I also went to see the Twelve Golden Palaces assessment of the Six Southern Domains, but I never heard that Luo Feng cultivated the Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber Technique. Besides, he was only at the third layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm back then. Only two months have passed; could he have broken through to the early fifth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm? That’s absurd!"

The others also nodded. From the third layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm to the fifth layer in just over two months? How could that be possible?

The young Martial Artist’s face turned red as he countered, "I just said he looked a lot like him, I didn’t say it *was* him!"

For over a month, Luo Feng had been training in the Red Dragon Mountain Range, and his hair had grown considerably longer. Furthermore, cultivating Divine Dragon Nine Changes had subtly altered his demeanor, words, and actions, lending him an intangible quality. His aura and appearance had changed somewhat, so even some who had seen him before didn’t recognize him. Of course, the main reason was his strength; no one believed he could break through to the fifth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm in just two months.

「On the other side,」 Lanyu, Lu Qing, and the others watched Luo Feng, their faces alight with excitement.

They had been worried that Luo Feng wouldn’t be Lengxiao’s match; if that were the case, the hundreds of members of the Green Flame Adventure Group would likely face a dire fate today.

Seeing Luo Feng win now, they were undoubtedly the most excited.

WHOOSH!

Luo Feng’s figure flashed, landing on the ground.

Feeling the killing intent in Luo Feng’s eyes, Lengxiao frowned slightly and said, his voice trying to sound fierce despite his fear, "Kid, I am the captain of the Cold Origin Adventure Group. If anything happens to me, every single member of your Green Flame Adventure Group will die!"

Lengxiao didn’t believe Luo Feng would dare to kill him. The Cold Origin Adventure Group was one of the four major adventure groups in Red Valley City, filled with experts. They even had a Guest Elder at the mid-fifth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. No matter how formidable Luo Feng was, he would be no match.

"Is that so?" A cold smile touched Luo Feng’s lips as he said softly, "Then you can die."

CH!

As his last word fell, a fierce glint flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes, and he struck out with his palm.

BOOM!

The air vibrated violently as a robust Palm Gang, carrying an imposing momentum, shot towards Lengxiao.

The crowd on the street widened their eyes, never having expected Luo Feng to actually try to kill Lengxiao.

"Kid, you dare!" Just as Lengxiao was about to be violently struck down, a cold shout came from the distance.

Immediately, a Sword Qi, carrying a razor-sharp force, instantly slashed forth. It pierced the Palm Gang and shot towards Luo Feng at lightning speed.

Luo Feng’s eyebrows shot up. He punched out, shattering the Sword Qi. The enormous rebound force from his fist compelled him to retreat several steps.

Then, another, thicker Sword Qi lashed out.

A mid-fifth layer Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist... A flicker of surprise in his eyes, Luo Feng tapped his foot and his figure flashed a hundred meters away, evading the Sword Qi to stand beside Lanyu.

SWISH!

With a sound of parting air, a figure appeared before Lengxiao.

The newcomer was in his thirties or forties, his eyes narrow and flashing with a cold, stern light. He observed Luo Feng coldly.

"Elder Hong!" Seeing the sinister-looking middle-aged man, Lengxiao, who had just cheated death, was overjoyed.

This Elder Hong was the Guest Elder of the Cold Origin Adventure Group, a Martial Artist at the mid-fifth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm!

Lanyu looked at Elder Hong, her beautiful Daimei slightly furrowed, and said to Luo Feng, "Be careful. This is Hong Yunshan, the Guest Elder of the Cold Origin Adventure Group, a Martial Artist at the mid-fifth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. His strength is unfathomable."

Luo Feng nodded slightly, his expression calm as he looked at Elder Hong.

Before breaking through to the fifth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, my strength was already enough to defeat early fifth-layer Martial Artists. Now that I’ve entered the fifth layer and my Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber Technique has further improved, I should be able to contend with a mid-fifth layer Martial Artist.

"Lengxiao, how are you?" Elder Hong glanced at Luo Feng and then asked Lengxiao.

"My life isn’t in danger." Lengxiao, though heavily injured, coughed up a mouthful of blood. His icy gaze fixed on Luo Feng, his expression somewhat ferocious as he asked, "Elder Hong, where are the other experts from our group?"

"They’re on their way."

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

As Elder Hong’s voice fell, the entire street began to vibrate violently. Groups of figures rushed in, totaling four to five hundred people.

These people were uniformly dressed in somber-colored robes, exuding powerful auras. Nearly half of them were at the Spiritual Rotation Realm.

"The people from the Cold Origin Adventure Group are here!"

"The Green Flame Adventure Group might be done for this time."

The nearby Martial Artists watching the commotion quickly retreated upon seeing these sudden arrivals.

Lanyu and the others frowned inwardly. Elder Hong alone was already difficult to handle. Now that the elites of the Cold Origin Adventure Group had all appeared, the Green Flame Adventure Group’s situation was becoming increasingly precarious.

Lengxiao stepped beside Elder Hong, smirking coldly at Luo Feng, "Kid, let’s see you act arrogant now! HAHAHAHA..."

Luo Feng looked indifferent, coolly uttering two words, "Defeated foe."

"You..." Lengxiao’s face turned ashen with rage, and he nearly coughed up another mouthful of blood. He gritted his teeth and snarled, "Today, I’ll annihilate every last member of your Green Flame Adventure Group, leaving no one alive, not even a chicken or a dog!"

Elder Hong, who had been silent until now, looked at Luo Feng and suddenly asked, "Lengxiao, was this the person who injured you?"

Lengxiao’s face stiffened, and he said sullenly, "Indeed. This kid is devious. Despite being only an early fifth-layer Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist, his Yuan Qi is incredibly dense. He has also cultivated the Dali Dynasty’s Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber Technique. I was only defeated because I was careless."

Elder Hong didn’t quite believe Lengxiao’s words but didn’t press further. He chuckled sinisterly, "Leave this kid to me."

He was intrigued by Luo Feng’s incredibly dense Yuan Qi. If my guess is correct, the boy must have cultivated a high-grade Cultivation Technique!

"Then I’ll entrust him to you, Elder Hong." Lengxiao nodded respectfully and glanced at Luo Feng, his gaze like one sizing up a dead man. Elder Hong is a mid-fifth layer Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist. With him taking action, Luo Feng is undoubtedly doomed.

With a cold sneer, Lengxiao turned his gaze to the members of the Green Flame Adventure Group. He exuded a bone-chilling murderous intent and ordered, "Everyone, kill them! Don’t spare a single member of the Green Flame Adventure Group!"

"Yes!"

"Kill!"

Upon hearing the order, the hundreds of members from the Cold Origin Adventure Group, their morale soaring, charged forward.

"Let’s meet them in battle." Luo Feng watched the surging tide of Cold Origin Adventure Group Martial Artists, his gaze fixed on Elder Hong at the forefront. Just as he was about to move forward, Lanyu stepped up to his side.

"I’ll lend you a hand." Lanyu held her longbow, speaking to Luo Feng.

Although my strength is far inferior to Luo Feng’s, as a Bow Cultivator, if I seize an opportunity, I should be able to hinder Elder Hong and increase Luo Feng’s chances of winning.

Luo Feng shook his head, "No need. Leave him to me. You go help the others."

"You alone?" Lanyu looked at him, astonished, her tone questioning.

Without answering, Luo Feng pushed off the ground, leaping into the air to appear before Elder Hong.

Lanyu knew this wasn’t the time for worry. She took a deep breath and declared loudly, "Green Flame Adventure Group, hear my command! Kill!"

HUMMM!

Air currents surged around her. Lanyu’s gaze turned icy as she drew her bowstring, the longbow curving into a full moon.

FWOOSH! FWOOSH! FWOOSH! FWOOSH! FWOOSH!

The bowstring quivered lightly as five Yuan Gang arrows, gleaming with a fiery luster, shot out. They pierced the air, emitting an earsplitting shriek.

"Kill!"

Nearly three hundred members of the Green Flame Adventure Group roared in unison, their fighting spirit like that of tigers, as they rushed to meet the Cold Origin Adventure Group’s Martial Artists.

The battle between the two adventure groups erupted. Nearly a thousand people skirmished on the street—a spectacular sight. Powerful arrows, Sword Qi, fist winds, and Saber Gangs wreaked havoc, crisscrossing the thoroughfare.

「In mid-air,」 Elder Hong hovered ethereally above the clouds, his body undulating with the air currents.

"Kid, I’ll give you a chance," Elder Hong said, standing with his hands clasped behind his back. His gaze fell on Luo Feng, and a chilling laugh escaped his lips. "Hand over the Cultivation Technique you practice and sever one of your arms. If you do, I can spare your life."
