Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 657 - 655: The True Master!

The White-faced Saber Guest put down his wine cup, his piercing eyes fixed on Luo Feng’s departing figure, a faint smile playing on his lips.

It seems my luck is better than Yuan Xinglie’s.

Azure Cloud Marquis had ordered Luo Feng crippled. The White-faced Saber Guest, not wanting Yuan Xinglie to monopolize the credit, had come all the way from the Imperial City.

He had originally planned to inquire about Luo Feng’s whereabouts in Coldwater City but hadn’t expected to encounter him here.

"Waiter, the bill!"

The White-faced Saber Guest rose, placing a silver ingot on the table.

The waiter hurried over to collect payment for the food and wine. Seeing the White-faced Saber Guest’s elegant attire, he asked warmly, "Sir, where are you heading? Do you need a room for the night?"

"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t. Those who talk too much usually don’t live long..."

The White-faced Saber Guest glanced at the waiter. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Yes! Yes!"

A single glance from the White-faced Saber Guest drenched the waiter in cold sweat. His legs trembled, and he nearly collapsed to his knees.

With a cold laugh, the White-faced Saber Guest’s figure flashed. He leaped from the second-floor window and vanished into the crowd exiting the city in the blink of an eye.

The sky was high, the clouds distant. The wild wind carried intermittent, terrifying beast roars.

After leaving Coldwater City, Luo Feng and Ye Siyi used Qinggong to travel swiftly, soon entering the Red Ancient Wasteland.

The Red Ancient Wasteland was a desolate expanse stretching for ten thousand li, devoid of human presence, home only to endless Demon Beasts. The two cautiously used Qinggong to glide along the ground instead of attempting Aerial Flight.

Even so, they continually encountered attacks from Demon Beasts. However, these were merely Level Three or Four Demon Beasts, dispatched cleanly before they could even get close.

SQUELCH!

A sword light flashed, and blood splattered, the fresh scent of gore filling the air.

Ye Siyi flicked her sword blade. A giant Demon Wolf thudded to the ground, a clear sword mark three fingers wide on its forehead.

CLANG!

Returning her longsword to its scabbard, Ye Siyi glanced to the side with her beautiful eyes.

The ground was littered with the corpses of Demon Wolves. Most were bisected, none left whole. The fresh blood dyed the ground a glaring red.

Covering her mouth and nose with a delicate white hand, Ye Siyi frowned slightly as she looked at the young man beside her wiping his long saber. "Luo Feng, can’t you be a little more restrained? It’s always so excessive."

Luo Feng sheathed the Rage Flame Knife, saying sheepishly, "The Martial Arts I practice all tend towards a fierce and domineering style. I’m used to it."

"Let’s go. More Demon Beasts are coming."

Seeing Luo Feng’s awkwardness, Ye Siyi smiled sweetly. Only then did Luo Feng seem like a young man her own age.

"Alright."

Luo Feng nodded, and the two of them used their Qinggong to sprint forward.

ROAR!

They hadn’t gone far when a tremendous roar erupted behind them, followed by a deafening sound that made the ground tremble.

Luo Feng looked back. The sky had suddenly darkened; black clouds swept across, obscuring the brilliant sunlight. He could vaguely discern several massive shadows battling each other.

"Such potent Demon Qi!" Luo Feng exclaimed. "These are at least Level Four Demon Beasts."

Ye Siyi said, "The Red Ancient Wasteland, situated between the Red Flame Desert and the Red Flame Mountain Range, is rampant with Demon Beasts. But the Red Dragon Mountain Range is ten times more dangerous than this place. When you go to the Red Dragon Mountain Range, it’s best not to venture too deep, or it will be extremely perilous."

"Un."

Luo Feng nodded. Along the way, he had learned a great deal about the Red Dragon Mountain Range from his conversations with Ye Siyi.

The Red Dragon Mountain Range was located deep within the Red Flame Mountain Range. Demon Beasts active in the vicinity were at least Level Four, and there were even Demon Beasts above Level Six.

A Level Six Demon Beast was equivalent to a Martial Artist at the fifth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm or higher. Its strength was exceptionally formidable; it would take three to five such Martial Artists to contend with one.

The two continued their journey. Along the way, Luo Feng continuously used the appearing Demon Beasts to hone his Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber Technique. He progressed rapidly and had gradually reached perfection in the first stage.

Ye Siyi had initially been surprised by this, but eventually grew accustomed to it.

Under the scorching sun, while passing a series of hills, Luo Feng suddenly stopped.

"What’s wrong?" Ye Siyi looked back at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng gazed at the hills ahead, his eyes narrowing slightly. "There are people up ahead."

BOOM!

Just then, a powerful fluctuation of Yuan Qi surged from ahead.

A kilometer away, the sky abruptly darkened. Amidst a tremendous crash, a hill was sheared in half horizontally. A massive figure could be vaguely seen twisting and rolling in the dust.

"Let’s go take a look," Luo Feng said, his figure leaping forward. Ye Siyi followed closely behind.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The two employed their Qinggong, moving with extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, they crossed the kilometer and arrived behind a hill.

Concealing their auras, Luo Feng peered ahead.

In the middle of the hills, a giant black python dominated the center. It was dozens of meters high, its body covered in basin-sized scales that reflected a sinister, dark light. Its massive head was distinctly triangular. Its cold, merciless pupils sent a shiver down the spine.

"Triangular Dark Cloud Python!"

Seeing the giant python among the hills, a flicker of alarm crossed Ye Siyi’s bright eyes, and she couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.

Luo Feng silently nodded.

This Triangular Dark Cloud Python possessed potent Demon Qi. It was a high-tier Level Five Demon Beast, equivalent to a Martial Artist at the fourth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. Furthermore, the Dark Cloud Python’s Demon Qi was extremely poisonous, making it ten times more dangerous than an ordinary Martial Artist at the fourth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.

"Luo Feng, look over there." Ye Siyi noticed something and pointed with a slender finger.

Luo Feng followed her gaze. In front of the Dark Cloud Python stood a young woman.

The woman wore a long, emerald green dress and held a red-tasseled spear. Her body pulsed with a purple light as she faced the Dark Cloud Python from a distance.

Currently, the green-clad woman was pale. Her clothes were tattered in several places, revealing glimpses of her fair, delicate skin, and a trickle of blood stained the corner of her mouth.

ROAR!

The Dark Cloud Python fixed its gaze on the green-clad woman, roaring as a surge of Demon Qi filled the sky. Its massive tail whipped through the air, striking downward.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

This strike was immensely powerful; the air crackled and boomed under the force of the blow. The shockwave tore through the nearby hills, causing large fissures to appear.

The green-clad woman’s expression was grave. Tapping her toes to the ground, she leaped into the air.

"Purple Light Shines on the Sky!"

With a sharp cry, the green-clad woman thrust her spear.

CLANG!

The potent Spear Qi slammed into the Dark Cloud Python’s body. However, due to her insufficient Cultivation, the Spear Qi only managed to crack a few of the python’s scales before its advance was halted.

ROAR!

The Dark Cloud Python, stung by pain, roared furiously. Its cold eyes blazed with ferocity as it opened its cavernous mouth wide, unleashing a colossal pillar of black Yuan Qi.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The earth fractured, and peaks were pierced. Nearby hills, swept by the dark light, split asunder as if cleaved by a massive blade.

Just as the dark light was about to strike the green-clad woman, a brilliant purple radiance erupted from her. The red-tasseled spear in her hand danced, spinning like a whirlwind to form a massive purple shield, a dozen meters across.

BOOM!

The purple shield shattered. The green-clad woman was sent flying, her clothes further torn by the Qi Force, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Looking at the approaching Dark Cloud Python, a trace of fear flickered in her pupils.

Purple Polar Yuan Mirror Shield! That’s the Jade Hall’s Purple Cloud Mirror Sky Spear Technique!

Ye Siyi’s Daimei knitted slightly. She bit her lip gently and looked back at Luo Feng. "Luo Feng, what are you planning to do...?"

She was now a Disciple of Jade Hall. Naturally, she wanted to help a fellow sect member in peril.

However, this Triangular Dark Cloud Python was a high-tier Level Five Demon Beast. She was no match for it. Only by teaming up with Luo Feng would they stand a chance.

Even so, it was extremely dangerous. Ye Siyi knew it was a lot to ask Luo Feng to risk his life for someone else, so she merely sought his opinion.

Luo Feng looked at the Dark Cloud Python, frowned, and said, "You use your Phantom Footsteps to draw its attention. I’ll kill it."

Ye Siyi paused, her beautiful eyes widening slightly in surprise as she looked at Luo Feng. "You’re going to save her?"

"Since we saw her, we can’t just stand by and watch her die. Besides, this Dark Cloud Python is a perfect test for my Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber Technique," Luo Feng nodded, said calmly.

Ye Siyi exhaled softly. "Alright. I’ll do my best to draw its attention. The rest is up to you."

"Un."

WHOOSH!

The moment she finished speaking, Ye Siyi’s figure flashed, and she instantly appeared behind the Dark Cloud Python.

"Take this!"

With a light shout, Sword Qi extending over ten meters erupted from the longsword in her hand.

The Sword Qi streaked across the sky, materializing behind the Dark Cloud Python.

SPLAT!

The Sword Qi shattered several of the python’s scales. Splattered blood hit the ground, immediately corroding large pits into it.

ROAR!

The intense pain threw the Dark Cloud Python into a rage. Its huge body rolled violently on the ground, causing nearby mountains to crack and shatter with loud CRACKS.

Someone’s here?

The green-clad woman, who had been certain of her impending doom, was startled by this sudden development.

When her gaze fell upon Ye Siyi, she was taken aback, not expecting her rescuer to be so young.

The Dark Cloud Python also spotted Ye Siyi. A chilling frostiness emanated from its cold eyes as it unleashed another black pillar of Yuan Qi towards her.

Ye Siyi dared not be careless. She pushed her Phantom Footsteps to their limit. Her figure vanished, and fifteen Sword Shadows materialized around the Dark Cloud Python.

The fifteen Sword Shadows plunged into the black Demon Qi. It was as if they had encountered an immense obstruction; their speed drastically reduced. The Dark Cloud Python, prepared this time, had enveloped itself in dense black Demon Qi, forming a solid defense.

BOOM!

Killing intent seethed in the Dark Cloud Python’s eyes. Its tail, as thick as a mountain, swept horizontally, scraping a layer off the ground. It instantly shattered the fifteen Sword Shadows into countless tiny fragments of Sword Qi that dissipated into nothing.

SWISH!

Ye Siyi was driven back dozens of steps by the powerful gust before she could regain her footing.

A high-tier Level Five Demon Beast is truly formidable. I’m no match for it alone... Ye Siyi’s expression was grave.

The Dark Cloud Python tilted its head back and let out a sky-shattering roar. The sound formed shockwaves that made the earth tremble as its massive body charged directly at Ye Siyi.

The green-clad woman said to Ye Siyi, "Miss, this Triangular Dark Cloud Python is no small matter. You should leave quickly!"

Ye Siyi shook her head slightly, a charming smile on her face. "Don’t worry. The true master is about to make his entrance."

A true master? The green-clad woman was stunned.

Her words had barely faded when a figure abruptly materialized behind the Dark Cloud Python.

BANG!

Sensing a presence behind it, the Dark Cloud Python’s massive tail instinctively whipped around.

Luo Feng stood undaunted. Two golden suns blazed behind him, radiating boundless power as the Rage Flame Knife slashed down.

"Golden Crow Fierce Sun Slash!"

Heatwaves billowed, and Saber Qi surged in all directions.

SPLAT!

The Dark Cloud Python’s tail was instantly severed. The searing Saber Qi, undiminished in speed, ruthlessly struck the python’s head.

With no time to evade, the python’s massive head was cleaved in two, and blood erupted forth.
