Martial Arts Overlord

"Who are these two, daring to talk to Fu Jiang, one of the East Flame Three Wolves, like that?"

Such thoughts rippled through the crowd as they heard Luo Feng and Bing Ruolan's conversation, their hearts filled with astonishment.

BOOM!

A violent explosion erupted. The screen behind Luo Feng shattered into splinters. Fu Jiang, his face grim, stared at Luo Feng and declared, "Give me the treasured sword, cut off your own arm within three breaths, and leave East Flame City immediately! Do this, and I will spare your life!"

At this moment, Leng Yunshan, who had been standing back, stepped forward. His gaze fixated on Bing Ruolan, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile, "What a pretty lady. Fu Jiang, leave this little beauty for me."

Luo Feng's brow furrowed slightly, a fierce gleam in his eyes.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...

Just as Leng Yunshan finished speaking, the faint sound of tearing wind suddenly arose. The entire floor was illuminated with a pale blue, watery light. A chill swept through everyone's hearts as they were enveloped by a potent murderous aura. Many were startled into drawing their swords.

This inexplicable murderous intent appeared suddenly and vanished just as quickly.

AHHH!

A scream rang out. The crowd was horrified to discover that Leng Yunshan's luxurious clothes had been shredded into tatters, his hands covered in bloody sword marks.

"It actually missed..."

Bing Ruolan sat in her spot, her slender, beautiful fingers lightly stroking her azure sword. Her cold gaze swept over Leng Yunshan, and a voice tinged with regret slowly flowed from her enticing red lips.

"Next time, my sword will aim for your throat."

Bing Ruolan's eyes were cold, yet her calm voice made the surrounding spectators shudder!

Everyone secretly gasped in astonishment. Such a swift sword! Some who had harbored malicious thoughts toward Bing Ruolan now gulped nervously, daring not to entertain such fantasies any longer.

"You dare to injure me! Do you know who I am?"

Leng Yunshan's face was ashen, his eyes glaring venomously at Bing Ruolan, his voice filled with murderous intent.

Although his injuries weren't severe, as the son of East Flame City's City Lord, no one in the city had ever dared to oppose him.

Today, to be injured in front of everyone by a woman merely at the mid-stage of the eighth-level Hell Realm ignited a towering rage in Leng Yunshan's heart!

Bing Ruolan didn't even bat an eyelid, stating coldly, "I have no interest in knowing."

"You!"

A murderous aura surged from Leng Yunshan. He snarled at Fu Jiang, "Fu Jiang, teach them a good lesson! Especially that little vixen who dared to harm me... HISS!"

As Leng Yunshan spoke excitedly, he aggravated his wounds, his face contorting in pain.

Fu Jiang's expression remained calm. An eighth-level Hell Realm martial artist, even one wielding a second-grade Spirit Weapon, was still not worthy of his serious attention.

THUD!

Taking a step forward, the space within three feet of Fu Jiang trembled momentarily. Staring coldly at Luo Feng, he said, "Two breaths have passed. Only one remains."

"Fu Jiang is going to make his move!" one person exclaimed.

"These two are likely doomed," another added.

The nearby martial artists' expressions changed as they felt the chilling aura exuding from Fu Jiang.

Slowly rising from his seat, Luo Feng lifted his eyelids slightly and said directly, "I'm in a hurry. No need to wait. Make your move."

"Hmm?"

Fu Jiang seemed taken aback, apparently unprepared for Luo Feng's audacity in provoking him.

The surrounding crowd was also shocked by Luo Feng's domineering words. This is too arrogant! He doesn't seem to hold Fu Jiang in any regard at all!

"Fu Jiang, teach this brat a harsh lesson! Show no mercy!" Leng Yunshan shouted from the side.

Fu Jiang clenched his fists, and a thunderous sound erupted from his thick knuckles. He glared at Luo Feng with fierce eyes and sneered, "Kid, you're dead meat! Today, you'll be carried out of East Flame City horizontally!"

With each word, Fu Jiang's muscles seemed to swell further. By the end, his clothes were stretched to the point of splitting by his bulging muscles, revealing a body as dark as charcoal that reflected a cold light. His momentum was sky-high, and a gale swept through the second floor of the tavern.

"This is Fu Jiang's Mysterious Crystal Gang Lie Jue!" someone cried out.

"Such strong momentum! He's hardly human!" another gasped.

The surrounding crowd was in awe. Fu Jiang's monstrous killing aura was enough to make one's heart tremble. Those with lower cultivation levels didn't even dare to meet Fu Jiang's eyes directly.

Leng Yunshan stood aside, a cold smile on his face.

Fu Jiang was a renowned cultivation genius, famous for hundreds of miles around East Flame City. The Mysterious Crystal Gang Lie Jue he cultivated was a Profound Level low-grade Horizontal Practice martial art.

With Fu Jiang's skin as hard as iron, it was clear he had cultivated the Mysterious Crystal Gang Lie Jue to Great Accomplishment. Even a martial artist at the early stage of the Ninefold Heavenly Court Realm would find it hard to match him.

Leng Yunshan squinted at Luo Feng, sneering inwardly. He won't even be able to handle a single move!

While Fu Jiang's aura on one side was shaking heaven and earth, Luo Feng on the other was strikingly different.

Luo Feng stood motionless, like a statue.

Seeing this, the crowd assumed Luo Feng had been scared stiff by Fu Jiang's aura, perhaps even losing the courage to resist.

The outcome of this confrontation seemed sealed. Many people secretly shook their heads, pitying Luo Feng.

"Kid, it's no use regretting offending the East Flame Three Wolves now!"

Fu Jiang held Luo Feng in utter contempt, his face full of disdain. His momentum surged to its peak as he smirked, raised his right hand, and slapped down.

A pitch-black, deathly luminescence erupted from Fu Jiang's palm; it no longer seemed like flesh and blood but resembled a piece of black jade crystal.

RUMBLE!

As the Palm Gang shot forth, the entire second floor of the tavern shuddered slightly. The surroundings fell completely silent. Many onlooking martial artists turned pale, intimidated by the formidable pressure of this palm attack.

Only Bing Ruolan, seated next to Luo Feng, remained calm.

Confronting the imposing Palm Gang hurtling towards him, Luo Feng appeared very indifferent. Only when the Qi Force was about to reach him did he lift his eyelids.

THUD!

With a single step, Luo Feng's aura drastically changed, like a precious sword unsheathed, its sharpness fully revealed.

"Breaking Sky Fist!"

With a shout, Luo Feng's right fist, carrying saber-shaped Gang Qi, tore through the air.

In that instant, a formidable surge of Yuan Qi radiated from him. The air before Luo Feng seemed to shatter like pieces of crystal, crumbling and disintegrating.

BOOM!

Amidst the explosive sound, fist and palm collided. The strong Qi Force tore the surrounding screens to shreds.

To everyone's astonishment, Fu Jiang's Black Jade Palm Force was crumbling bit by bit.

"What powerful fist strength! This man is incredibly strong!"

"Fu Jiang's Mysterious Crystal Gang Lie Jue is renowned for its abundant Yuan Qi and formidable physical strength, yet his Palm Gang was shattered by a single punch! What is this fellow's background?"

"These two are not on the same level at all."

A number of highly-skilled martial artists nearby saw the truth of the situation after the initial exchange. Luo Feng's strength far surpassed Fu Jiang's; they were simply not in the same league.

Leng Yunshan and Xiao Ning both widened their eyes, their faces a mixture of shock and disbelief. Their mouths hung slightly open, unable to close for a long moment.

Seeing his palm force shattered, Fu Jiang was terror-stricken and immediately channeled his Yuan Qi at full strength.

"Mysterious Crystal Gang Qi!"

BUZZ!

A black light shimmered, and three black hexagonal shields materialized beside Fu Jiang, spinning rapidly to protect him.

The saber-shaped Fist Gang tore through the palm force. With undiminished momentum and terrifying power, it enveloped Fu Jiang.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

A series of thunderous explosions rang out. The black shields only blocked the Fist Gang for an instant before collapsing. Fu Jiang spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward. He crashed through tables and chairs, landing heavily on the ground, covered in blood.

A strange silence descended upon the area.

Gazing at the bloodied Fu Jiang and then at Luo Feng, who stood unshaken, the surrounding martial artists were all dumbstruck.

Fu Jiang, East Flame City's renowned cultivation genius, an expert at the early stage of the Ninefold Heavenly Court Realm, was defeated!

And he had been defeated by a single punch! Utterly powerless to resist.

"To defeat Fu Jiang with one punch, this person must be at least at the early stage of the Ninefold Heavenly Court Realm!"

"Judging by his age, he should be around sixteen. To achieve this at such a young age is terrifying!"

"I've seen most of the well-known talents among the Four Young Masters of Red Maple Lead, but I've never seen this person. I wonder where this genius hails from..."

After a moment of silence, gasps of astonishment arose from the crowd. All the martial artists present looked at Luo Feng with respectful awe.

East Flame City was thousands of miles away from Changxin Academy, so news of Luo Feng defeating Young Master Hanshan and Fiery Sun Young Master hadn't arrived yet.

"Still not scramming?"

Luo Feng swept a cold glance towards Leng Yunshan and Xiao Ning, who were standing dumbly to the side. He didn't feel particularly excited about overpowering Fu Jiang with one punch.

He possessed eighteen Meridian Wheels. Combined with his Great Accomplishment in the Condensation Yuan Technique, his Yuan Qi was not inferior to that of a martial artist at the mid-stage of the Ninefold Heavenly Court Realm.

Besides, in terms of power, his Sky Collapse Fist was superior to Fu Jiang's Mysterious Crystal Gang Lie Jue. It would have been surprising if he hadn't been able to defeat him.

At Luo Feng's rebuke, Leng Yunshan and Xiao Ning retreated in fright.

"You'll regret this, kid!"

Leng Yunshan left a threatening parting remark, not daring to linger. He hastily helped the bloodied Fu Jiang and hurried out of the tavern.

"I'll leave right away!"

Seeing Luo Feng turn to look at him, Xiao Ning screamed in fear and scrambled downstairs in a panic. Even Fu Jiang of the Ninefold Heavenly Court Realm was no match for Luo Feng; how could he dare to linger?

"Trash!" Luo Feng shook his head and returned to his seat.

Bing Ruolan looked at Luo Feng and smiled. "Your cultivation has improved again."

Luo Feng touched his nose, offering a noncommittal grunt. During his travels these past few days, he had spent his free time comprehending the Shocking Thunder Saber Technique. This had greatly benefited his other martial arts, and his overall strength had indeed improved.

After the intense fight, Luo Feng felt hunger pangs and called out, "Waiter!"

After he called out several times, a waiter finally crawled out from under a nearby table.

He had been a waiter at the East Facing Tavern for several years and had witnessed plenty of brawls and vicious deeds. With his sharp eyes, he observed the aftermath and guessed that Luo Feng had defeated the notorious East Flame Three Wolves. He was utterly astounded.

Rushing over to Luo Feng, the waiter said admiringly, "You two are truly young heroes! To think you even defeated the East Flame Three Wolves…"

"Enough with the flattery," Luo Feng said impatiently. "We're in a hurry. Bring us some good food, quickly."

"One moment, please." The waiter didn't dare say more and immediately turned and hurried downstairs.

A moment later, the waiter returned with the dishes, which soon covered the entire table.

Seeing that the food on the table was fresh and delicious, and that some dishes even featured rare ingredients from Demon Beasts, Luo Feng nodded in approval. "The food isn't bad."

The waiter beamed. "You may not know this, but our East Facing Tavern is the largest tavern in all of East Flame City!"

Luo Feng nodded. "You may leave. I'll call you if I need anything."

The waiter acknowledged, and just as he was about to leave, he took two steps, then paused. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Sirs, after your meal, it would be best for you to leave East Flame City as soon as possible."
