Martial Arts Overlord

Luo Feng put down his chopsticks and asked, "Is it because of those three men from earlier?"

Bing Ruolan also looked at the waiter. Observing the expressions of the other patrons, it seemed those three men were not simple.

"You have just arrived at East Flame City, judging by your weary appearances. It's understandable if you are not aware of them," the waiter said, trying to explain.

Lowering his voice, the waiter continued, "Those three are indeed no ordinary individuals. That Fu Jiang is the son of our city's prominent Fu Family and has extensive connections. Xiao Ning is the young master of Luo Hong Trading Company, possessing considerable wealth. However, the most fearsome among them is Leng Yunshan! His father is our City Lord, Lengyuan, a dominant figure! When these three come together, they act domineeringly and are unapproachable, earning them the title of the East Flame Three Wolves."

"Lengyuan…"

Hearing this name, a flash of surprise flickered in Bing Ruolan's beautiful eyes.

Luo Feng didn't notice Bing Ruolan's change in expression and laughed, "Ah, so it's the City Lord's son. No wonder he's so arrogant."

The waiter sighed. "Regrettably, our City Lord Lengyuan, a Spiritual Rotation Realm expert and a local hero, has had his lifelong reputation ruined by his own son."

Seeming to realize he had spoken out of turn, the waiter glanced around nervously. Seeing that no one had noticed, he let out a sigh of relief and said to Luo Feng,

"Those three are usually arrogant and domineering, and have never suffered a loss. Now that they've been thwarted by you, they certainly won't let the matter rest. You should be extra cautious."

"I understand. Here's your tip."

Luo Feng nodded, took out a silver ingot, and tossed it to the waiter. It weighed a full ten taels.

Overjoyed, the waiter thanked him repeatedly, "Many thanks, Sir. I will take my leave now."

"Luo Feng, let's leave as soon as we finish eating," Bing Ruolan suddenly said.

Luo Feng noticed something odd in Bing Ruolan's expression and asked with a frown, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Bing Ruolan smiled and shook her head. "I'm fine. You have urgent matters to attend to, so there's no need to waste time here."

"Mm, alright."

Luo Feng nodded. Dealing with the Duanmu Family was his immediate concern; there was no need to stir up more trouble.

The food was quite tasty, and the two of them ate with relish.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

While they were eating, a heavy thumping came from outside the tavern. It sounded as if a vast army was marching past, causing the bowls and dishes on the table to jump slightly.

"What's happening?!"

The other patrons also noticed the commotion and jumped up from their seats in alarm.

Someone rushed to the window, took a look, and his expression changed drastically.

"It's the Fu Family's men!"

"And there are people from the City Lord Mansion too! My God, the Iron Spear Army from the City Lord Mansion is also here!"

SWISH!

At these words, all eyes turned towards Luo Feng and Bing Ruolan.

Luo Feng also sensed the dense Evil Qi from outside the tavern. His brow furrowed slightly. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and said calmly, "It seems we won't be able to finish this meal."

Bing Ruolan's delicate eyebrows knitted slightly. Her hands tightened around her azure sword, and she didn't reply, seemingly lost in thought.

BANG!

A thunderous crash came from the tavern entrance, as if an ancient, ferocious beast had descended. The entire tavern trembled violently.

"Who injured our young master? Get out here and face your death!"

"You dared to injure our Young City Lord? Get out here now!"

The immense voices, amplified by Yuan Qi, surged up to their floor, causing the doors and windows to rattle violently.

Two Martial Artists at the mid-stage of the Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm, one at the early stage of the Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm, and dozens more at the Eighth Stage Hell Realm. Quite the formation.

Luo Feng released his Soul Power and clearly perceived the situation outside the tavern.

Just then, the waiter rushed upstairs, panicking, and stammered,

"Sirs, this is terrible! People from the City Lord Mansion and the Fu Family are here! The Iron Spear Army from the City Lord Mansion has come too, and there's even a Steward from the City Lord Mansion leading them! You should quickly get on your Six-leg Demon Horses and escape!"

Luo Feng raised his hand to silence the waiter and stood up. "Whether it's a blessing or a curse, one cannot escape what's fated. Since they've come, we should naturally go meet them."

Martial Artists at the Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm possess Divine Sense that can extend for a kilometer. With a mid-stage Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm expert present, trying to leave unnoticed would be impossible.

Bing Ruolan also stood up and followed behind Luo Feng.

The waiter stared, dumbfounded, and stammered a reminder, "The Steward from the City Lord Mansion is a mid-stage Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm expert! You…"

He couldn't understand. Ordinary people, upon hearing this news, would have been scared witless and fled for their lives. Yet, these two remained perfectly calm, as if the people outside meant nothing to them.

"Use this silver note to pay the bill. Keep the change as a tip."

With a calm expression, Luo Feng took out a silver note, placed it on the table, and walked downstairs with Bing Ruolan.

The Martial Artists on the second floor watched their departing figures, all of them looking shocked.

"Leng Yunshan must have called them here for revenge!"

"Even the Iron Spear Army has been mobilized! It looks like Leng Yunshan is serious this time. These two are incredibly bold not to run! What are their backgrounds?"

"Perhaps it's not that they won't run, but that they daren't. There's a mid-stage Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm expert out there overseeing things. What use would running be?"

"That's true. Let's hurry downstairs! A spectacle like this isn't common."

Worried about missing the excitement, everyone immediately swarmed downstairs.

The street outside the East Facing Tavern was quite spacious, resembling a small plaza.

At this moment, the street was packed with a large crowd.

Squads of Martial Artists were arranged in formations, completely surrounding the tavern, leaving no gaps.

These Martial Artists, each wielding a black long spear and clad in black armor, were brimming with Jing Qi and exuded a murderous aura. All of them possessed cultivation at the Eighth Stage Hell Realm. There were forty to fifty such men, all members of East Flame City's notoriously fierce Iron Spear Army.

In front of the Iron Spear Army stood three Martial Artists. Their auras were like surging tides, and their eyes held a reserved sharpness; all were experts of the Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm.

Leng Yunshan and Xiao Ning stood to one side, their faces grim, staring intently at the tavern entrance.

A considerable crowd had gathered in the surrounding streets. Witnessing such a grand display, everyone wondered about the identity of the important figures inside the tavern who had managed to mobilize so many experts.

"They're out!"

Leng Yunshan's eyes suddenly flashed, a cold glint appearing within them.

The sound of light footsteps was heard, and two figures slowly walked out from the tavern entrance. It was Luo Feng and Bing Ruolan.

"Huh, so young…"

Seeing the pair, the faces of the surrounding onlookers all showed a hint of shock.

They hadn't expected the 'important figures' who had alarmed the Iron Spear Army to be a young man and woman barely in their mid-teens.

Luo Feng stopped outside the tavern. His gaze swept across the street, finally landing on Leng Yunshan and Xiao Ning. He sneered, "It seems the lesson from earlier wasn't enough."

When Luo Feng's gaze swept over Xiao Ning, he turned ashen-faced and didn't dare to utter a word.

A trace of disdain flashed in Leng Yunshan's eyes. He looked at Luo Feng and said coldly, "You dared to offend me, Leng Yunshan, in East Flame City. Did you really think you could leave unharmed? Wishful thinking!"

Facing dozens of murderous soldiers from the Iron Spear Army, Luo Feng remained unfazed and smiled. "That remains to be seen."

"Such arrogance!"

A square-faced Martial Artist at the front stepped forward, glaring at Luo Feng, and thundered, "Kid, you still dare to speak so arrogantly at a time like this! You truly don't know life from death!"

Coming from a Martial Artist at the early stage of the Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm, his words boomed like thunder, making people's eardrums ring.

Another Martial Artist, this one at the mid-stage of the Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm, also stepped forward. His eyes filled with murderous intent as he said, "You dared to injure my Young Master Fu Jiang? Even ten lives wouldn't be enough for you to pay for it!"

The Martial Artist in black armor standing in the middle, a mid-stage Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm expert, waved his hand. His voice was icy as he said, "Kid, today is a joyous occasion; I don't wish to see blood. Cripple your own cultivation, and I, Chun An, will spare your lives."

"Cripple our cultivation? Such arrogance!"

Luo Feng sneered.

Bing Ruolan also frowned slightly. These people are too outrageous!

THWACK!

Stepping forward, the floorboards beneath Luo Feng's feet cracked. His eyes, like those of a fierce tiger, swept over the three Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm experts. He announced loudly, "The three of you can come at me together. I'm in a hurry."

I'm in a hurry!

The surrounding crowd was in an uproar, completely stunned by Luo Feng's words.

Many couldn't help but shake their heads, thinking Luo Feng was too arrogant, actually wanting to challenge three Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm experts by himself!

Moreover, two of these three were at the mid-stage of the Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm.

The black-armored Martial Artist named Chun An frowned. He looked at Luo Feng and said calmly, "Kid, you defeated Fu Jiang. To possess such strength at your young age is indeed impressive. However, with your mere early-stage Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm cultivation, you are not yet qualified to fight me."

Luo Feng flicked his fingers and said indifferently, "If you're done with your nonsense, then let's begin."

The onlookers were dumbfounded. Chun An was a Steward in the City Lord Mansion, a person of significant status! Yet, someone actually dared to be so insolent in his presence!

"Steward Chun An, why waste words on this ignorant brat who doesn't know his place? Watch as I, Fu Xiao, break all his limbs and see if he still dares to be arrogant!"

The early-stage Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm Martial Artist who had spoken first roared. His aura erupted, and with a stamp of his foot, his body shot out like a cannonball, a fist blasting towards Luo Feng's face.

BOOM!

As his fist shot out, the air around it seemed to churn. A fierce gust of wind swept through the entire street, making it difficult for the nearby Martial Artists to maintain their footing.

"Fu Xiao has made his move! He's Fu Jiang's older cousin and reached the Ninth Stage of the Heavenly Court Realm three years ago. He's a renowned expert in the Fu Family! The Furious Wave Fist he cultivates is a formidable Profound Level low-grade martial art!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Contempt flashed in Luo Feng's eyes. With a slight shift of his feet, he easily dodged the opponent's ferocious punch, not even a corner of his clothes being touched.

"Kid, if you have any guts, stop dodging!"

Fu Xiao's expression turned ugly when his punch missed Luo Feng. He immediately unleashed his most powerful technique.

"Furious Wave Fist!"

WHOOSH!

A sound like crashing waves emanated from within Fu Xiao's body. The Gang Qi on his fist surged like a furious tide, smashing towards Luo Feng and sealing off the space within ten meters. The fiercely powerful force of the punch caused the air to explode in layers.

"As you wish."

A sharp glint flashed in Luo Feng's eyes. His feet remained planted as he turned and threw a punch, retracting it in an instant.

THUD!

The fists collided. Fu Xiao felt as if he had been struck by a mountain. His Protective Gang Energy shattered instantly. He was sent flying backward, spewing a large mouthful of blood in mid-air, before crashing heavily to the ground, his condition unknown.

HISS!

Seeing this, a sharp intake of breath was heard throughout the street.

Everyone stared at Luo Feng in utter shock, their mouths agape—even the soldiers of the Iron Spear Army were no exception.

"One punch! He defeated Fu Xiao with just one punch!"

"He's clearly only at the early stage of the Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm! How is this possible?!"

"Am I seeing things…?"

The surrounding crowd erupted in exclamations.
