Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 751 - 749: Divine Dragon Nine Changes, Second Change!

Chapter 751: Chapter 749: Divine Dragon Nine Changes, Second Change!

Amid a flurry of discussions, martial artists from all directions began to leave Phoenix Soaring Mountain.

The death of Azure Cloud Marquis, one of the six noble marquises, was an event that would absolutely shock the entire Canglang Dynasty. The Second Prince, Elder Hai, and Su Xiaokang, the young master of the Su Family, dared not delay and departed first.

Luo Feng and the others followed Yue Chongshan, arriving at the entrance of the Phoenix Soaring Mountain valley.

Yang Dingtian stopped and patted Luo Feng on the shoulder. "Son-in-law, there’s been unrest in the Demon Sect lately, and its members have frequently been seen in the Flowing Cloud Region. I can’t be away for too long, so I’m heading back to Dayang City first. Come visit when you have time."

Having seen Luo Feng win the duel, Yang Dingtian was in high spirits, his face beaming with triumphant delight.

"Yes." Luo Feng nodded.

"City Lord Yang, let’s leave together," Qing Yun came forward and said.

Upon seeing Qing Yun, Luo Feng clasped his fist in a salute. "Sister Qing Yun, thank you for your help this time."

Luo Feng knew that if Qing Yun hadn’t delivered Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber in time, the outcome of today’s duel with Yi Tian might have been entirely different.

Qing Yun smiled sweetly and said, "The person you should be thanking isn’t me. I was merely fulfilling someone else’s request." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Knowing she was referring to Cang Nanyue, Luo Feng nodded. "Please tell her that one day, I will personally visit the Sacred Land to express my gratitude."

"Hehe, I will certainly pass on that message." Qing Yun chuckled and flicked a finger.

WHIZ!

The sword at her waist transformed into a streak of light and flew out. Qing Yun’s figure flashed, and like a butterfly dancing in the air, she landed lightly on the blade.

"City Lord Yang, let’s go."

"Alright."

WHOOSH...

Displaying their Qinggong, the group of more than ten people became a blur of Skimming Light and Shadow, dashing into the distance and quickly vanishing over the horizon.

Watching Yang Dingtian and his group depart, Luo Feng was about to head to Azure Sky City. However, seeing Bing Hanbai still standing nearby, he couldn’t help but frown.

"Cold Moon Marquis, I shall impose upon your mansion for a few days," Bing Hanbai said to Yue Chongshan.

"Having the Young Palace Master of North Sea’s Ice Palace as a guest is an honor to my Cold Moon Mansion. Please, come in." Yue Chongshan had heard something of the North Sea’s Ice Palace’s affairs and had already guessed the relationship between Bing Hanbai and Bing Ruolan, so he did not refuse.

Bing Hanbai nodded slightly, glanced at Bing Ruolan in Luo Feng’s arms, and said no more.

Luo Feng didn’t expect Yue Chongshan to agree so readily. However, as long as Bing Hanbai didn’t harm Bing Ruolan, he had no objections. Moreover, since Bing Hanbai was the Young Palace Master of the North Sea’s Ice Palace, he might know about Bing Ruolan’s engagement.

Exhaling, Luo Feng, concerned for Bing Ruolan, said, "Let’s go."

As his voice fell, he took a step, carrying Bing Ruolan, and flew towards Azure Sky City. The others followed closely behind.

「One hundred li northwest of Phoenix Soaring Mountain.」

Riding her flying sword, Qing Yun kept pace beside Yang Dingtian and spoke, "City Lord Yang, it’s been five years since we last met at Changxin Academy, hasn’t it?"

Yang Dingtian said with a touch of nostalgia, "That’s right. Back then, you were just a young girl; now you’re an elder at Changxin Academy. Time truly spares no one. After watching today’s duel, I realized that this martial world, without us noticing, no longer belongs to our generation."

Qing Yun smiled faintly. "When you speak of this younger generation, you’re referring to Luo Feng, aren’t you? I didn’t expect you to travel all the way to the Imperial City just for him."

Yang Dingtian laughed. "I came to support my bratty daughter. Besides, Luo Feng is the most outstanding young talent I’ve ever seen; he’s not someone who should have perished in this duel. However, I was merely here to cheer him on. No matter how difficult the path ahead, he must walk it himself, step by step. No one can do it for him. Strength and luck are both essential for becoming a powerful martial artist. It seems he hasn’t disappointed me."

Qing Yun nodded. Those who truly become strong, in addition to their own efforts and exceptional talents, are often blessed with great fortune. Otherwise, no matter how gifted, a prodigy could perish from a stray arrow before reaching their full potential. At Changxin Academy, she had witnessed too many exceptionally gifted individuals meet an untimely end due to unforeseen accidents.

"Is Luo Feng your son-in-law?" Qing Yun asked, voicing the question in her heart.

Yang Dingtian raised an eyebrow, his mood cheerful. "Indeed."

Qing Yun hesitated for a moment, then asked, "But his relationship with Bing Ruolan... it seems rather complicated."

Yang Dingtian burst into laughter, saying nonchalantly, "Rumor has it that anyone who awakens the Saint Soul is considered the supreme being among all tribes in the North Sea. If even such a person holds Luo Feng in high regard, doesn’t that just prove my judgment was spot on and I haven’t misjudged him?"

"..." Qing Yun pursed her rosy lips and nodded somewhat helplessly, her beautiful eyes twinkling as she pondered something else.

「Time flew, and a day passed in the blink of an eye.」

「At Cold Moon Marquis’s Mansion.」

Outside a small, elegant courtyard, several figures stood.

"Feng Er, you’ve been standing guard here all day. Go get some rest. I’ll notify you immediately when Ruolan wakes up." Outside the courtyard gate, Yang Qing looked at Luo Feng with a touch of pity.

Luo Feng glanced into the courtyard, shook his head, and said, "Father, Mother, I’m fine. You two go rest."

Luotian sighed helplessly, patted Luo Feng’s shoulder, and said to Yang Qing, "Let’s go."

Yang Qing hesitated for a moment before following Luotian away.

Around the corner, they encountered Yue Haitang, who was bringing food.

"Uncle, Auntie."

Yang Qing nodded, looked Yue Haitang over, and said, "Haitang, try to persuade Feng Er. He might listen to you."

"Me?" Yue Haitang bit her lip, looked at the solemn-faced Luo Feng ahead, and said, "I’ll try."

Yue Haitang walked to the front of the courtyard and placed the food beside Luo Feng.

"Just leave it there for now. I don’t have an appetite yet," Luo Feng said.

Yue Haitang frowned slightly, sat down beside Luo Feng, hugged her knees, and said, "Luo Feng, you don’t need to blame yourself. The Nangong Family’s power is simply too great. In their eyes, the entire Canglang Dynasty is but a speck of dust. Even my father couldn’t possibly be their opponent. You’ve managed to achieve so much already. Haven’t you heard what people outside are saying? They’re all calling you the monster of our Canglang Dynasty."

Luo Feng shook his head and slammed a fist on the ground. "I don’t blame myself. I just hate that I’m too weak. If only I were a bit stronger..."

Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng looked up, his eyes blazing with a fierce light, and said to Yue Haitang, "Haitang, can you accompany me in my cultivation?"

Ever since he became the top newcomer, Luo Feng had always thought he was second to none. However, the showdown on Phoenix Soaring Mountain made him realize his vision had been too narrow. He shouldn’t have confined himself to the Flowing Cloud Region, or even the Canglang Dynasty. The world was much bigger than he had imagined.

Cultivation!

A hundred times the effort in cultivation!

Luo Feng resolved that yesterday’s events would never happen again. He would leave the Canglang Dynasty and even surpass the Nangong Family!

"Cultivation? But you haven’t slept at all today. And you just went through such an intense duel..." Yue Haitang hesitated.

Luo Feng dusted off his clothes and stood up straight. "I’m fine."

"Alright then!" Yue Haitang wasn’t one for lengthy discussions. Seeing Luo Feng’s determination, she immediately drew her sword.

"Haitang, use your full strength. Don’t hold anything back. Don’t stop even if I get injured. I’m cultivating a Cultivation Technique that requires immense pressure to improve."

Luo Feng’s figure flashed as he moved to the open area in front of the courtyard and spoke.

He was referring to the Divine Dragon Nine Changes, an extremely mysterious Cultivation Technique. He had only reached the first stage, the Spiritual transformation, yet his strength already far exceeded that of other martial artists at his level; challenging opponents of higher ranks was almost routine for him.

The showdown at Phoenix Soaring Mountain this time had exposed him to many things. He felt a breakthrough in the Divine Dragon Nine Changes was imminent, yet it was as if a thin veil separated him, preventing him from taking that final step.

He resolved to use Yue Haitang’s help to stimulate his potential, aiming to break through in the shortest time possible and reach the second transformation of the Divine Dragon Nine Changes: the Blood Essence Transformation!
