Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 700 - 698: Today, You Must Die!

"Hold on!"

The sudden outburst froze the crowd, their heads swiveling towards the source of the voice: Luo Feng.

"What do you think you’re doing, kid?" Lengxiao glared at Luo Feng, his face grim. With Cui Bo present, he was confident Luo Feng wouldn’t dare to injure anyone, giving him a sense of security.

This failure had not only cost him his dignity but also one hundred thousand Grade Two Yuan Stones. He seethed with resentment for Luo Feng, already plotting how to exact revenge and push Luo Feng into a desperate, inescapable situation.

Luo Feng’s gaze was cold. He looked at Lengxiao and said, "Today, you must die."

WHOOSH! Luo Feng’s declaration ignited an uproar, stunning the entire crowd. The exchange between Cui Bo and Lengxiao was still fresh in their minds. Luo Feng’s audacious statement clearly showed he held no fear for Cui Bo at all.

"Hmph!" Cui Bo hadn’t expected Luo Feng to be this bold. A flash of killing intent flickered in his eyes. He glanced at Yan Feifeng beside him and sneered, "Kid, you indeed possess some skill, but Red Valley City is not a place where you can do as you please!"

Facing Cui Bo’s oppressive gaze, Luo Feng remained unperturbed and replied coolly, "What a joke! As a retainer of the Green Flame Adventure Group, if I let Lengxiao, who murdered so many today, simply walk away, what would become of the Green Flame Adventure Group’s reputation in Red Valley City?"

Today’s battle had made the Green Flame Adventure Group and the Cold Origin Adventure Group mortal enemies; Lengxiao would certainly not let this rest. Luo Feng was about to leave Red Valley City, so he had to eliminate this threat before his departure.

Hearing Luo Feng’s words, Lanyu bit her red lip, gratitude reflected in her beautiful eyes. She knew Luo Feng’s true standing and was one of the few who understood the deeper meaning behind his words.

"The Green Flame Adventure Group’s reputation?" Cui Bo chuckled contemptuously. His chilling aura intensified as he said disdainfully, "What is your Green Flame Adventure Group worth? I’m sparing your life only out of consideration for Yan Feifeng. Don’t be ungrateful! I will take Lengxiao with me today, and no one can stop me. I advise you to quit while you’re ahead. Don’t court death, or you’ll regret it deeply."

"Lengxiao, let’s go." After giving Luo Feng one last glare, Cui Bo turned and strode away.

Lengxiao looked at Luo Feng, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He snorted coldly and ordered the Cold Origin Adventure Group Martial Artists beside him, "Let’s go!"

"Phew..." Seeing Cui Bo and Lengxiao’s group departing, Qing Mei, standing beside Yan Feifeng, heaved a sigh of relief. Her bright eyes sparkled with curiosity as she looked at Luo Feng. She silently admired his audacity to face Cui Bo, the leader of the Evil Wolf Adventure Group, without batting an eye.

The surrounding crowd, recovering from their shock, collectively let out sighs of relief.

"That was too close. I really thought Cui Bo was going to attack."

A young spearman wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, unable to hide his astonishment.

"Yeah, Cui Bo’s aura is terrifying. For that young man to remain so calm before him... If it were me, I’d have lost my mind."

"Still, the young man has a point. The Cold Origin Adventure Group killed so many members of the Green Flame Adventure Group. Letting Lengxiao leave just like that would be hard to stomach."

"Hard to stomach or not, Cui Bo has always been arrogant; he wouldn’t care what this boy thinks. This young man can only be blamed for his bad luck."

"Yes. With Cui Bo around, he can only swallow his anger..."

The crowd watched Lengxiao leave, discussing amongst themselves. Believing the matter had concluded for now, they began to disperse.

"Stay right there!"

At that moment, a cold shout suddenly thundered above the street.

Luo Feng’s gaze locked onto Lengxiao, his eyes sharp. He brandished the Rage Flame Knife, unleashing a torrent of crimson Saber Energy.

SWISH!

The Saber Energy was remarkably concentrated, fast as lightning, and shot straight for Lengxiao. The ground beneath couldn’t withstand the pressure, shattering to form a terrifying chasm where it passed.

"Cui Bo, save me!" Even before the Saber Energy reached him, Lengxiao felt his pores tighten all over his body, the intense killing intent making him cry out in terror.

Cui Bo’s eyes turned icy. His right hand emanated a green glow, transforming into a colossal Yuan Qi hand that clawed through the air.

BOOM!

The Saber Energy was instantly crushed, but the powerful impact also sent Cui Bo staggering back several steps.

Lengxiao had just breathed a sigh of relief when he looked up, his heart nearly stopping. Luo Feng, enveloped in Saber Qi, was rushing towards him at astonishing speed.

"Stop him, quick!" Lengxiao shrieked, grabbing two Cold Origin Adventure Group Martial Artists beside him and thrusting them forward as shields.

"Die!" A ruthless glint flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes. A crimson Qi Force erupted from the Rage Flame Knife, soaring skyward and condensing into an incomparably sharp Saber Qi that shot forth, piercing through the two Cold Origin Adventure Group Martial Artists.

SLICE!

A distinct line of blood appeared on Lengxiao’s forehead. He toppled backward, his mouth agape, unable to believe Luo Feng truly dared to kill him.

THUD!

Luo Feng landed, his feet hitting the ground. He glanced at Lengxiao’s corpse, his expression impassive.

SILENCE!

The once-bustling street fell into an eerie, utter stillness.

The nearby crowd stared wide-eyed at Lengxiao’s corpse, their faces etched with disbelief.

In the span of just two or three breaths, the dignified leader of the Cold Origin Adventure Group had been silently killed, and right before Cui Bo’s eyes.

At this moment, the way the crowd looked at Luo Feng changed, their gazes now holding a mixture of admiration and awe.

"He... he actually killed Lengxiao..." Qing Mei was also astonished, her hand covering her red lips in disbelief.

Yan Feifeng, however, remained calm. She glanced at Luo Feng and said, "If he hadn’t killed Lengxiao today, Lengxiao would undoubtedly have hunted down the Green Flame Adventure Group in the future."

"True." Qing Mei nodded slightly, her brows furrowing. "But now that he has killed Lengxiao, Cui Bo will definitely not let him go..."

Yan Feifeng smiled faintly. "Rest assured, he won’t die so easily. If anything unexpected happens, I will intervene."

Hearing this, Qing Mei looked at Yan Feifeng with curiosity. Earlier, when she had sought Yan Feifeng’s help for Luo Feng, Yan Feifeng had agreed immediately, before Qing Mei had even finished speaking, and had come swiftly on her flying sword.

"Leader, do you know him?"

Yan Feifeng shook her head. "Not exactly. I am merely acting on someone’s request."

"Kid, you’re courting death!"

Just then, an enraged roar exploded. Cui Bo stared at Luo Feng, the fury in his pupils blazing like fire.

The fifty thousand Grade Two Yuan Stones were a secondary concern. More importantly, as the leader of the Evil Wolf Adventure Group, he had promised to ensure Lengxiao’s safety. Lengxiao being killed right in front of him was an undeniable public slap in the face. If he didn’t kill this person, his reputation would suffer immensely.

BOOM!

As Cui Bo stepped forward, the entire street trembled beneath his foot. The ambient Yuan Qi around him erupted violently. Streams of astonishingly powerful green torrents burst from his body, and the surrounding space seemed unable to bear this pressure, emitting creaking sounds.

Seeing this, the nearby Martial Artists’ expressions changed drastically.

"Run! That’s Cui Bo’s Sky Wolf Life-chasing Palm!"

"Run!"

Feeling the overwhelming aura emanating from Cui Bo, the nearby Martial Artists looked terrified, hastily employing their Qinggong techniques to flee into the distance, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

Yan Feifeng’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. Her gaze rested on Luo Feng for a moment, then she slowly exhaled.

"Sky Wolf Thousand Shadow Kill!"

The azure light around Cui Bo suddenly intensified. He thrust out his palm, and a colossal azure energy wave, a good forty to fifty feet wide, materialized in mid-air. It transformed into countless azure wolves, each with wings, a single horn, and sharp claws, all pouncing towards Luo Feng.

Instantly, a tyrannical and brutal aura permeated the entire street. Even the crowd, now a thousand meters away, couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat as they watched the sky filled with azure wolves.

Luo Feng’s brow twitched, his eyes exceptionally sharp. An equally formidable aura surged from him, and nine golden suns materialized behind him. The dazzling light they radiated even outshone the sun hanging high in the sky.

"Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber – Ninth Layer!"

Seeing the nine golden suns behind Luo Feng, ripples disturbed the calm in Yan Feifeng’s eyes.

Hearing this, Qing Mei, standing beside her, couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath, her eyes filled with shock.

Once the Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber technique reached the tenth layer, it could form a Golden Crow illusion capable of incinerating a Martial Artist’s Gang Qi; it was an exceedingly domineering art. However, this martial art was exceedingly difficult to cultivate. For an ordinary Martial Artist, achieving Small Success within a year and a half was already considered remarkable. Yet, Luo Feng’s Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber had already reached the Nine Sun Stage, just one step shy of the Tenth Layer of Great Accomplishment!

Empowered by the Nine Suns, Luo Feng’s aura peaked. His eyes glinted with boundless sharpness as he slashed out with his saber.

"Nine Suns White Flame Saber!"

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

Though it was just a single slash, it carried the feeling of a continuous, ferocious assault. A colossal blade of white flame slashed through the air, crashing into the pack of azure wolves.

BOOM!

The entire street seemed to tremble. The shockwaves from their collision instantly scoured away a layer of earth for several hundred meters around, reducing buildings on both sides to rubble. The nearby Martial Artists watching were profoundly shaken.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The two figures were flung backward simultaneously.

WHOOSH!

Lanyu’s figure flashed forward to support Luo Feng, anxiously asking, "Feng Luo, are you okay?"

"I’m alright." A trickle of blood escaped the corner of Luo Feng’s mouth. He looked up at Cui Bo opposite him, his brow slightly furrowed. Indeed, the gap of two cultivation sub-realms isn’t so easily bridged.

"How is this possible? This youth actually withstood a palm strike from Cui Bo!"

"It’s truly incredible! Cui Bo is a mid-Fifth Layer Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist, and the Sky Wolf Life-chasing Palm he cultivates is a high-grade Profound Level martial art. His strength isn’t comparable to Elder Hong and the others."

"To contend with an opponent two minor realms above him is already beyond a typical case of fighting above one’s rank."

Although Luo Feng was at a disadvantage, the crowd was even more astounded than when he had defeated Elder Hong earlier. After all, Cui Bo’s cultivation was plain to see. However, they didn’t know how much of his full strength Cui Bo had actually used.

Meanwhile, Cui Bo’s face had darkened. Worried that Yan Feifeng might intervene, he had unleashed his full power from the outset, intending to kill Luo Feng in a single blow.

He hadn’t expected Luo Feng’s strength to be so incredible. His Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber technique had actually reached the Nine Sun Stage, allowing him to block the palm strike unharmed. It was fortunate it wasn’t the Ten Sun Stage; otherwise, with the Ten Suns Transforming into Golden Crows, even he might not have been Luo Feng’s opponent.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Luo Feng looked at Cui Bo with a cold gaze and stated, "If you wish to continue this fight, I will accompany you to the very end!"
