Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 564 - 562: You and I Are Impossible!

"Luo Feng!"

Gazing at the knife-wielding youth stepping out of the passage, Azure Water Young Master’s eyes narrowed sharply.

Luo Feng emerged from the passage and glimpsed Lin XiaoXiao nearby, her clothes tattered. He frowned slightly, then swiped his finger over his storage ring, pulled out a school uniform, and tossed it to her.

"Put this on."

Lin XiaoXiao took the clothes, her beautiful eyes appraising Luo Feng. Some time had passed since she last saw him, and she noted that he had grown taller. His eyes now held a sharpness that she dared not meet directly.

"Mm."

Biting her red lip with her pearly white teeth, Lin XiaoXiao nodded slightly and donned the uniform, a complex expression on her face.

Turning his gaze, Luo Feng looked at Azure Water Young Master and said expressionlessly, "Cripple your cultivation, leave an arm behind, and disappear from my sight immediately. Do that, and I will spare your life."

Azure Water Young Master was taken aback. He glanced at Lin XiaoXiao and chuckled sinisterly, "Luo Feng, are you sticking up for her? Have you forgotten what she did back then..."

Hearing this, Lin XiaoXiao was startled. She looked at Luo Feng, her red lips pressed tightly together.

Luo Feng waved his hand, cutting Azure Water Young Master off. "It doesn’t matter who she is. Even if she were a stranger on the street, I wouldn’t stand idly by."

A stranger... He’s right. What right do I have to expect him to save me...

A bitter smile touched Lin XiaoXiao’s pretty face. She bit her lip so hard it bled, a trickle of blood escaping, though she didn’t seem to notice.

Azure Water Young Master frowned deeply and looked coldly at Luo Feng. "Are you serious?"

"I don’t want to say it a second time," Luo Feng replied indifferently.

"Hmph! Luo Feng, don’t think that just because you defeated Xue Fei, you can look down on everyone. This world is vast, much larger than you imagine! In my eyes, your meager strength is insignificant! I advise you to quit while you’re ahead. Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died."

Azure Water Young Master’s words were icy. His clothes fluttered though there was no wind, and his body was enveloped by a layer of blue Yuan Qi that flowed like water waves. His aura steadily intensified.

Luo Feng’s palm rested on the hilt of his knife, a cold glint in his eyes. "In that case, you can leave your life behind."

Azure Water Young Master’s face darkened. As the foremost disciple of Azure Cloud School, when had he ever been so belittled? Especially by a mere student from the Flowing Cloud Region! He snarled, "You’re courting death! Just wait until I break every bone in your body, leaving you in a state where you’ll wish for death but find no escape. Let’s see if you still dare to be so arrogant then!"

Nearby, Lin XiaoXiao watched the scene nervously, her small hands clenched tightly.

Although Azure Water Young Master was despicable and shameless, his strength was not to be underestimated.

He had become a sixth-level Meridian Wheel Realm expert at the age of ten, stepped into the ninth-level Meridian Wheel Realm at fifteen, and became a first-level Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist before turning seventeen. His talent was extraordinary.

Moreover, because his uncle was the Dean of Azure Cloud School, he had access to cultivation resources far exceeding those of ordinary people. The Heavenly Green Water Tactics he cultivated could refine Yuan Qi into a water-like state, making it incredibly versatile and unpredictable. It was considered a top-tier technique even among mid-grade Profound Level Martial Arts, truly remarkable.

"Lie down!"

Azure Water Young Master smirked coldly. With a wave of his hand, the azure light around him flared.

"Azure Sky Water Curtain!"

Amidst the sound of crashing waves, his Yuan Qi transformed into an azure water wall several meters thick, which surged towards Luo Feng, threatening to crush him.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

The azure water wall covered the entire passage. Wherever it passed, the ground trembled and the rock walls cracked, as if it weren’t water at all, but molten steel.

Facing the oppressive Yuan Qi water wall, Luo Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly as a dazzling crimson flame erupted from his body.

"Great Wilderness Flame Explosion!"

A scorching heatwave swept through the entire passage as Luo Feng immediately unleashed the full power of his Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist.

The crimson fist energy, imbued with terrifying explosive power, shot towards the azure water wall. Wherever it struck, sections of the water wall exploded. Splashes of water and fiery sparks flew everywhere within the passage, hurtling towards Azure Water Young Master.

"How is that possible?!"

Azure Water Young Master was aghast.

His Heavenly Green Water Tactics were renowned for their defensive power; never before had its water curtain been shattered in a single blow by any Martial Artist of the same level.

Yet his opponent’s fist technique was actually more powerful than his own!

This man is indeed terrifying!

His eyes flickered, and the killing intent in Azure Water Young Master’s gaze intensified. He shouted coldly, and the azure light around his body flared, expanding further.

"Azure Flow Three Waves!"

Taking three steps back, Azure Water Young Master thrust both palms forward three times in quick succession.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH...

In an instant, his Yuan Qi morphed into three monstrous waves, accompanied by a thunderous roar, surging towards Luo Feng.

The three waves overlapped and reinforced each other, their momentum unprecedentedly strong and domineering, as if they would crush anything in their path to dust.

Luo Feng raised an eyebrow. He had heard of Azure Cloud School’s Heavenly Green Water Tactics, but he hadn’t expected them to be this powerful.

"Let’s see whose is stronger—your water or my fire!"

With a cold smirk, Luo Feng stepped forward. The skin of his entire right arm turned an eerie crimson. Like a furious dragon, it shot forward.

BOOM!

The first massive wave of condensed Yuan Qi exploded, disintegrating into countless droplets and vanishing.

However, that only destroyed the first wave. The two subsequent waves were even more powerful, crashing down on Luo Feng with overwhelming force.

Seeing this, an even colder, sinister look appeared on Azure Water Young Master’s face. You dare fight me? You’re still too green!

Just then, an unexpected change occurred.

Luo Feng retreated three steps and suddenly let out a cold shout.

"Explode!"

RUMBLE!

A fiery light exploded from within the massive Yuan Qi waves, causing the ground to tremble. In that instant, the remaining two water waves vanished without a trace.

PFFT!

Azure Water Young Master hadn’t expected such a sudden turn of events. He had underestimated the power concealed within the fist technique and was caught off guard by the shockwave, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it! Luo Feng, I’ll tear you limb from limb!"

Having never suffered such a significant loss, Azure Water Young Master was enraged. Veins throbbed on his forehead, his handsome face twisted in fury, and the azure light around him intensified dramatically as he prepared to attack again.

Luo Feng, however, had no intention of giving him another chance.

"Die!"

Locking his gaze onto Azure Water Young Master, Luo Feng stomped, shattering the ground beneath his foot. His eyes seemed to flash with thunderbolts. Gripping his knife with one hand, he slashed out, unleashing his self-created Saber Technique: Astonishing Thunder!

SWISH!

For an instant, the Rage Flame Knife completely vanished into the void.

The next moment—

CRACKLE!

A clap of thunder echoed as the fierce knife-light condensed into a single, razor-thin line that whistled through the air, crossing a dozen paces in an instant.

SPLAT!

Azure Water Young Master barely had time to widen his eyes before the knife-light reached him. Blood sprayed as one of his arms flew high into the air.

"My arm!"

Azure Water Young Master shrieked in agony, clutching his severed arm as he staggered backward.

Spitting out another mouthful of blood, Azure Water Young Master looked up to see Luo Feng approaching step by step. His gaze trembled with terror as he pleaded, "Luo Feng, don’t kill me! My uncle is the Dean of Azure Cloud School. If you kill me, you’ll face endless trouble! Don’t kill me, please, don’t kill me! I’ll cripple my cultivation right now and disappear from your sight..."

He was genuinely terrified now. A moment ago, even when he had unleashed his full power, he hadn’t managed to touch even a corner of Luo Feng’s clothes.

In Azure Water Young Master’s eyes, Luo Feng had become an insurmountable mountain, someone far beyond his ability to contend with.

"Too late to leave now."

Luo Feng snorted coldly, shaking his head indifferently as he casually sent out another streak of knife-light.

THWACK!

Azure Water Young Master’s head flew from his shoulders, blood gushing from his neck like a fountain.

In his final moments, overwhelming regret consumed him. Why had he been so foolishly obsessed as to attack Lin XiaoXiao? He regretted even more not heeding Luo Feng’s words to cripple his cultivation and leave. He could have had a magnificent future, enjoyed the company of countless beauties...

After killing Azure Water Young Master, Luo Feng sheathed his knife. He turned to the dumbstruck Lin XiaoXiao and said indifferently, "Go and regroup with the others quickly. Be careful on the path ahead. Farewell."

With that, Luo Feng’s figure flickered and disappeared into the passage, heading deeper within.

"Luo Feng, I..."

Lin XiaoXiao snapped out of her daze, lifting her head. Her rosy lips parted as if to speak, but Luo Feng was already gone.

Glancing at Azure Water Young Master’s corpse on the ground, Lin XiaoXiao’s slender fingers nervously clutched the uniform Luo Feng had given her, her expression complex.

She still remembered every word she had said to Luo Feng six months ago at the school gate: "You and I are from two different worlds; we can’t be together."

It seemed they truly were from two different worlds now, but their respective positions had completely reversed from the past.

She was the mortal, grounded on earth, while Luo Feng was the favored son of heaven, destined to soar through the nine heavens, his future limitless...

At this thought, a bitter smile touched Lin XiaoXiao’s lips. A single, silent tear rolled down her cheek, landing on the chest of her uniform.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Just then, the sound of rushing air was heard, and three figures burst out of the passage.

"Senior Sister! Are you alright?"

The three Purple Sun School students’ eyes lit up with joyful relief upon seeing Lin XiaoXiao.

Wiping away the tear tracks from the corners of her eyes, Lin XiaoXiao shook her head with a smile. "I’m fine."

"Where’s Senior Brother Luo Feng?" one of them asked.

"Luo Feng, he..." Lin XiaoXiao opened her mouth, but no words came out.

"Huh? Azure Water Young Master... H-he’s dead!"

A startled exclamation suddenly echoed in the passage as the three discovered Azure Water Young Master’s corpse nearby.

"Could Senior Brother Luo Feng have killed him?" the calm-eyed youth asked.

Lin XiaoXiao nodded slightly.

HISS!

Hearing this, the three couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

They had been chasing after Luo Feng and were less than half a cup of tea’s time behind him. In such a short period, Luo Feng had actually killed Azure Water Young Master, the foremost disciple of Azure Cloud School!

Such terrifying strength!

The three felt their hearts tremble, realizing they had still greatly underestimated Luo Feng.

"Hehe... It looks like in this Twelve Golden Palaces assessment, Senior Brother Luo Feng will definitely make it onto the Martial Champion Rankings! Our Flowing Cloud Region can finally hold its head high!" one of them chuckled excitedly.

"Exactly! I can’t wait to see the shocked faces of those geniuses from the other regions."

The other two nodded in agreement, their expressions excited.

None of the four major academies of the Flowing Cloud Region had ever had a student make it onto the Martial Champion Rankings, and they were constantly looked down upon by students from other regions.

If Luo Feng could make it onto the Martial Champion Rankings this time, it would surely make those who looked down on Flowing Cloud Region students drop their jaws in astonishment.

"Junior Brother Chen," Lin XiaoXiao suddenly said, raising her head to look at the calm-eyed youth. "Do you think... I was very foolish?"

"What?"

The three looked at her, puzzled and a bit bewildered.

"It’s nothing."

Lin XiaoXiao shook her head, then turned and started walking in the direction Luo Feng had taken. "Let’s go. We’re already far behind."

SWOOSH!

After killing Azure Water Young Master, Luo Feng pushed his speed to its absolute limit, rushing onward with all his might.

He overtook other students along the way and, before long, returned to the main hall, passing directly through the stone gate.

Beyond the main hall lay a series of winding stone staircases. Luo Feng ascended them, and after a short while, his surroundings gradually brightened.

"What is that...?"

Luo Feng looked ahead, his eyes wide with astonishment.

At the top of the staircases ahead, a brilliant, seven-colored radiance shimmered faintly!
