Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 647 - 645: Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber Technique!

Chapter 647: Chapter 645: Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber Technique!

Luo Feng was unaware of the ripples caused by the results of the Martial Champion rankings.

After leaving Sky Feather Square, he, along with his parents and Bing Ruolan’s group, returned to Sky Cloud Valley.

After tonight, apart from the ten Martial Champions, everyone else had to leave Sky Cloud Valley, so they all took this opportunity to have a reunion dinner.

The dinner lasted late into the night. Luo Feng and Luo Xiao sat together, eating and discussing cultivation matters.

Across from him, Bing Ruolan and He Qin sat on either side of Yang Qing.

The three women conversed in low voices, occasionally glancing at Luo Feng. Bing Ruolan’s pretty face held a rosy glow, and even the usually reserved He Qin’s fair face was tinged with an alluring crimson.

Luo Feng didn’t need to listen to know his mother was surely recounting his various embarrassing moments; he could only offer a wry smile in response.

After hurriedly finishing his meal, Luo Feng excused himself on the pretext of needing to cultivate.

Luotian knew the real reason for Luo Feng’s departure and chuckled, "You must be tired from today’s competition. Go get some rest early."

"Mm."

Luo Feng nodded and headed towards Bamboo Shadow Courtyard.

When the night was deep and silent, the bamboo forest rustled, swaying in the night breeze.

Inside Bamboo Shadow Courtyard, a faint mist drifted, rendered ethereal and captivating by the moonlight.

Luo Feng sat fully clothed in the courtyard, cultivating with his eyes closed.

Three months had passed in the blink of an eye. So, upon returning to Bamboo Shadow Courtyard, Luo Feng immediately cleared his mind of all distractions and began to cultivate.

HUMMM...

The surrounding air seemed drawn by an invisible force, slowly rotating with Luo Feng at its center. The entire courtyard appeared transformed into a vast whirlpool of airflow.

Luo Feng’s consciousness sank to his heart, where two crimson clusters of Yuan Qi continued to pulse, constantly absorbing the ambient Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

As he circulated the Yuan Qi within his body with all his might, the two crimson clusters pulsed faster and faster, emitting a rhythmic throbbing sound, as if something was about to be nurtured from within them.

It’s still not working...

After a long while, Luo Feng opened his eyes.

During cultivation, the sensation of being on the verge of a breakthrough was intense, yet no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make further progress.

I wonder what changes this Yuan Qi cluster will undergo in the future...

Muttering to himself, Luo Feng shook his head.

Since he couldn’t figure it out, he didn’t bother dwelling on it. So far, the crimson Yuan Qi cluster differed from an ordinary Spiritual Rotation only in its form; otherwise, it was the same. It even absorbed Yuan Qi several times faster, which shouldn’t be a bad thing.

To put it another way, even if there were some unforeseeable changes, he couldn’t alter them.

Exhaling deeply, Luo Feng took out the Secret Manual for the Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber.

"Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber: a Profound Level, upper-grade martial art, divided into ten layers. With each advancement in layer, a golden sun will appear when the saber technique is executed. Upon reaching the peak of the tenth layer, ten suns will merge into one, capable of manifesting a Golden Crow illusion. The saber technique can condense a trace of Golden Crow Yuan Power, which can incinerate a Martial Artist’s Yuan Qi and annihilate all things."

Incinerate a Martial Artist’s Yuan Qi!

Reading the Secret Manual’s introduction, Luo Feng’s eyes widened in astonishment, a look of pleasant surprise filling them.

This Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber far exceeded his expectations!

If his cultivation reached the fifth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, and he mastered the Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber to the peak of its tenth layer, Yi Tian probably wouldn’t withstand three of his moves.

Moreover, the Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber was a Fire Yuan Qi martial art, which perfectly countered Yi Tian’s Floating Snow Qixuan Strength.

What truly excited Luo Feng was that when this saber technique was cultivated to the peak of the tenth layer, forming the Golden Crow illusion, it could incinerate a Martial Artist’s Yuan Qi! This could greatly diminish an enemy’s Protective Gang Qi.

With the enemy weakened and himself strengthened, the saber technique’s power would increase manyfold!

What a domineering saber technique!

Luo Feng couldn’t help but exclaim, letting out a breath. I must find an opportunity to thank Shui Linglong.

He naturally didn’t believe Shui Linglong’s explanation.

If it was a reward, Bing Ruolan was also on the Martial Champion list, so why was he the only one rewarded?

After a quick read-through, Luo Feng put the saber technique Secret Manual away, not beginning to cultivate it immediately.

The Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber was a Profound Level, upper-grade martial art; it wouldn’t be mastered so easily. He planned to spend the night digesting the experience gained from the day’s battles, internalizing it.

Images flashed through his mind. Luo Feng’s brow alternately relaxed and furrowed as he contemplated the subtleties of each person’s martial arts.

Time flew, and the night passed quickly.

「In the early morning, at the entrance of Sky Cloud Valley.」

"Feng Er, be careful out there, and remember to send word that you’re safe when you have time."

Yang Qing caressed Luo Feng’s face with her hand, her eyes moist with unshed tears.

Luo Feng felt a twinge in his nose and nodded. "I will."

Yang Qing looked at Bing Ruolan and He Qin nearby. "Feng Er might seem mature, but he still has a childlike disposition. I hope you two will look after him."

The two young women glanced at Luo Feng. Perhaps remembering something, Bing Ruolan chuckled and agreed.

A peculiar light flashed in He Qin’s eyes as she silently nodded.

Luo Feng felt a little uneasy under their gazes. Fortunately, Luotian stepped in to rescue him. "Qing Er, Feng Er can take care of himself."

Turning to Luo Feng, Luotian said with a solemn expression, "Feng Er, when you venture into the martial world, don’t act on impulse. Don’t seek trouble, but don’t shy away from it either; otherwise, others will think you’re an easy target. Remember, the martial world is treacherous; it’s kill or be killed!"

Luotian’s words were always concise, yet they carried a chilling weight and an incisive meaning.

"I understand. Father, Mother, you both take care as well."

Although Luo Feng had only recently entered the martial world, he had already experienced much, and these words left a deep impression on him.

Luo Xiao strode forward and hugged Luo Feng tightly. "Second Brother, be careful with everything! If you need anything, feel free to tell me. My cultivation might not be on par with yours, but I still have some connections in the martial world."

Luo Feng clapped Luo Xiao on the shoulder and smiled. "Big Brother, I would never stand on ceremony with you. But seriously, when do I get to drink to your wedding?"

Luo Xiao’s face flushed, and he chuckled awkwardly. "Heh heh, Yun Er said we’ll wait until she’s admitted to the Golden Palace next year."

"Then congratulations in advance."

Luo Feng smiled, then took out a storage ring and handed it to Luo Xiao. "Big Brother, take this."

"What’s this?"

Luo Xiao was momentarily stunned to see it was a second-grade storage ring.

"Just some things I don’t need. Carrying them is a burden, and they should be useful to the family."

The previous night, Luo Feng had sorted through his storage ring, taking out items he no longer needed.

Now, his storage ring only contained ten thousand second-grade Yuan Stones, some gold tickets, essential elixirs, the Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber Secret Manual, the Sword Heart Heaven Jade, a mysterious bracelet, a mysterious crimson jade bead, and finally, the Teng Dragon’s Step Secret Manual, which he always carried.

Ever since obtaining the Teng Dragon’s Step Secret Manual from Zi Hongyuan, Luo Feng had kept it with him.

The more he cultivated it, the more he sensed the profundity of this secret manual. He often took it out to study carefully, gaining new insights each time.

Hearing Luo Feng say they were things he didn’t need, Luo Xiao casually accepted the storage ring.

He had no idea that it contained hundreds of thousands of first-grade Yuan Stones, a large quantity of silver notes, Spiritual Medicine, and equipment—items valuable enough to buy ten Luo Families!

"Well, we must be going. Feng Er, take good care of yourself."

Luotian and the other two mounted their horses, waved at Luo Feng, and rode off, disappearing in a cloud of dust.

Luo Feng watched them leave. Just as he was about to head to Sky Feather Square, he turned to see Bing Ruolan looking at him with an amused, teasing smile. He Qin’s gaze was also unusual.

Luo Feng asked, "Ruolan, what is it?"

Bing Ruolan, her hands clasped behind her back, had a smile on her lovely face as fresh and delightful as a newly bloomed lotus. Her eyes fixed on Luo Feng as she chuckled.

"Your mother said that when you were seven or eight, you would blush when talking to girls. Is that true?"

Luo Feng inwardly gave a wry smile. Bad news certainly travels fast.

"We’re going to miss the assembly time. Let’s go."

After saying this quickly, Luo Feng strode towards a nearby mountain path.

Bing Ruolan and He Qin exchanged a look, a hint of playful teasing in their eyes, and followed Luo Feng.

With the departure of students and martial artists from all over, Sky Cloud Valley, which had been bustling for days, became very quiet. Apart from the sound of footsteps, only the occasional chirp of insects and birds could be heard.

A short while later, the three of them arrived at Skyridge Plaza.

Several figures stood in the plaza, all of them well-known students from the Martial Champion list.

SWIPE!

The moment Luo Feng and his companions appeared, all eyes immediately turned towards them, focusing on Luo Feng with varied emotions.

Even though the competition for the Martial Champion list had concluded, many people’s hearts were still shaken.

The person they had once disregarded as a nobody had now remarkably become the First Martial Champion, far surpassing them. Truly, fortunes were unpredictable.

Yi Wuxue and Xie Xuantong stood together, both sizing up Luo Feng. Xie Xuantong wore a complex expression, while Yi Wuxue’s face was gloomy, his fists tightly clenched.

Luo Feng paid no heed to their gazes. Neither Xie Xuantong nor Yi Wuxue were worthy of his attention anymore.

Turning his head, Luo Feng saw Ye Siyi, who smiled at him, looking radiant and captivating.

"Luo Feng, what took you so long?"

Ye Siyi stopped three paces in front of Luo Feng.

Luo Feng smiled. "I was just seeing my brother and parents off. Where’s your sister, Ye Xiaoshuang?"

Ever since Luo Feng had gotten to know Ye Siyi, she and Ye Xiaoshuang had been inseparable. Ye Xiaoshuang’s mischievous and clever personality, in particular, had left a deep impression on him.

"The Twelve Golden Palaces’ assessment has ended. Apart from the top ten Martial Champions, everyone else must leave Sky Cloud Valley. Naturally, she was no exception. She and a classmate have already gone to the Jade Hall to register," Ye Siyi said.

Luo Feng nodded. "I guessed you would both choose the same Golden Palace."

Ye Siyi smiled serenely, her beautiful eyes on Luo Feng. "She asked me to tell you to visit her at the Jade Hall when you have time. She said she wants to thank you for helping her pass the assessment."

"It was nothing. I’ll definitely visit when I have time," Luo Feng nodded in agreement.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

As they were talking, a mountain peak flew slowly towards them from the clear sky.

The green-robed steward, who had overseen the assessment the previous day, slowly descended into the plaza.

"The entrance to the core formation is at Sky Feather Square. Let’s go."

After giving the instruction, the green-robed steward flew back to the mountain peak and vanished.

"Let’s go."

At Luo Feng’s words, they immediately used their Qinggong to ascend the mountain peak.

A moment later, the mountain peak landed at Sky Feather Square.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

A dozen or so Sky Mountain stewards appeared around the Martial Champion List in the center of the plaza. Beams of Yuan Qi light rose from their bodies, connecting with the glowing clouds above.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

In that instant, the Martial Champion List radiated with immense light, and the plaza began to shake violently, as if something were about to burst forth from beneath the earth.
