Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 424 - 422: Sneak Attack

Chapter 424: Chapter 422: Sneak Attack
The Black Wind Wolf was clad in a set of brown clothes. He stood eight feet tall, with a robust figure that seemed to occupy the space of two people. The scar from a blade near the corner of his eye almost disfigured him. His Yuan Qi fluctuations were extremely intense, far surpassing those of the White-Faced Wolf, Liu Zixuan. Unmistakably, his cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Ninth Heavenly Court Realm.
Gazing at the Black Wind Wolf, Luo Feng silently nodded.
It made sense that the Black Wind Camp could occupy the Black Wind Ridge. Even some mid-tier clans lacked a master who had reached the pinnacle of the Ninth Heavenly Court Realm.
His gaze shifted, landing on the white-haired old man standing nearby, lingering slightly.
This man’s aura was clearly not inferior to that of the Black Wind Wolf; he, too, was a pinnacle expert of the Ninth Heavenly Court Realm. This must be Cangxuan of the Duanmu Family, as Xu Tai had described.
The Black Wind Wolf and the others also noticed Luo Feng. Seeing such a young man, everyone except Liu Zixuan looked somewhat shocked.
"Kid, do you know where you are?" The Black Wind Wolf stepped forward, his face turning ferocious as he glared at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng stood his ground. Facing the Black Wind Wolf, he touched his nose, smiled gently, and replied, "Why does everyone like to ask that question? This is the Black Wind Camp, and I am here today to annihilate it."
HISS!
A light gasping sound traveled through the square. Everyone in the Black Wind Camp stared at Luo Feng, their expressions reflecting tremendous shock. No one had ever imagined that the young man before them would dare to utter such words right in front of their Camp Leader. This was like plucking a tooth from a tiger’s mouth.
Yao Qing stared at Luo Feng, her red lips pressed together slightly, but she did not speak.
"You arrogant brat! Still spouting such nonsense! I advise you to surrender now and save yourself some suffering!" Liu Zixuan said coldly from behind the Black Wind Wolf.
Luo Feng glanced at Liu Zixuan, replying contemptuously, "A defeated opponent like you still has the audacity to show your face before me."
A hint of disdain also flickered in Yao Qing’s beautiful eyes. This man had just abandoned his companions and fled, yet he still dared to make such remarks. He was indeed a despicable person.
"You!" Liu Zixuan’s face flushed red with anger. However, fearing Luo Feng might reveal what had happened earlier, he didn’t dare to retort.
"You’ve got guts!" Hearing Luo Feng’s words, the Black Wind Wolf became so enraged that he laughed. With a deep roar, an oppressive aura burst from his body. This powerful momentum surged out like a colossal wave, rolling relentlessly towards Luo Feng.
WHOOSH!
The clothes on the Black Wind Wolf fluttered though there was no wind. A breeze swept across the entire square. At that moment, everyone felt as if a giant boulder was pressing down on their hearts, making it hard to breathe. However, Luo Feng still stood calmly in place. An invisible force surrounded him, leaving him completely unaffected by the Black Wind Wolf’s oppressive aura.
The atmosphere in the square became extremely bizarre. Within a ten-meter radius around Luo Feng, all was tranquil, while beyond it, a fierce wind raged. It was as if they were in two different worlds.
"What’s happening here?"
"Can this young man actually resist the Camp Leader’s oppressive aura? Could his strength be on par with the Camp Leader’s?"
"Hmph, that’s impossible! He must have cultivated some special martial art, which is why he’s unaffected by the Camp Leader’s oppressive aura."
The members of the Black Wind Camp were astounded and began discussing animatedly as Luo Feng remained calm and unruffled before the Black Wind Wolf.
The scar near the corner of the Black Wind Wolf’s eye twitched. Looking at Luo Feng, he thought to himself,
This kid defeated Third Brother and is unaffected by my aura. It seems he has some real strength.
With a flicker of his eyes, the Black Wind Wolf waved his hand. A WHOOSHING sound cut through the air as a stone chair from the edge of the square flew towards him.
BOOM!
The stone chair landed behind the Black Wind Wolf, and he smoothly sat down. He looked at Luo Feng with a cold gaze and sneered, "I’ll be right here. Let’s see how you’re going to destroy my Black Wind Camp today!"
As the leader of the Black Wind Camp and a renowned expert in the martial world, attacking a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy himself at this point would only make him a laughingstock.
It would be best if they could win,
he decided.
If not, it wouldn’t be too late for me to step in.
As he spoke, the sound of constant footsteps echoed around the square. More and more martial artists from the Black Wind Camp swarmed in, surrounding Luo Feng and Yao Qing.
"Attack them together and kill them both." Staring at Luo Feng, the Black Wind Wolf waved his hand. His voice was cold, filled with murderous intent.
A cold light flashed in Liu Zixuan’s eyes as he shouted, "Whoever brings me their heads will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold!"
"Thank you, Second Leader!"
Upon hearing Liu Zixuan’s words, the nearly one hundred members of the Black Wind Camp looked at Luo Feng with excitement in their eyes. Gripping their weapons tightly, they ferociously closed in to kill him.
Standing behind the Black Wind Wolf, Liu Zixuan watched Luo Feng being surrounded by the crowd and sneered inwardly,
Kid, this will be your grave!
"Feng Luo..." Seeing the men of the Black Wind Camp rushing over, Yao Qing’s pretty face paled slightly. These men were the elites of the Black Wind Camp, all possessing strong auras. They were all martial artists of the Eighth Level of the Hell Realm!
I can handle three or five Eighth-Level Hell Realm martial artists, but there are nearly a hundred of them now! Even an ordinary Ninth-Level Heavenly Court Realm martial artist would be in danger if surrounded by so many elites!
"Protect yourself. Leave the rest to me," Luo Feng said calmly. Looking at the incoming Black Wind Camp warriors, a cold smile touched Luo Feng’s lips. He stomped his foot on the ground and, instead of retreating, advanced, charging into the fray first.
While in mid-air, Luo Feng let out a low shout. His right fist clenched, his body spun half a circle, and then a powerful fist Gang Qi howled forth.
BOOM!
Amidst the massive explosion, the Gang Qi blasted out. Several Black Wind Camp martial artists at the forefront were struck by the fist Gang Qi, instantly shrieking in pain as they spat blood and were sent flying backward.
Sitting on the stone chair, the Black Wind Wolf’s gaze focused slightly. Seeing Luo Feng’s youth, he had been doubtful whether his opponent was truly a Ninth-Level Heavenly Court Realm expert. The current outcome, however, confirmed it.
For someone so young to possess such strength is rare in the entire Flowing Cloud Region. He shouldn’t be a nobody. Yet, I’ve never heard the name Feng Luo. Could he be a new genius from the Twelve Golden Palaces?
Looking at Luo Feng, the Black Wind Wolf fell into deep contemplation, his frown deepening.
Nearby, Cangxuan heard the Black Wind Wolf’s words. A glint flashed in his eyes; he hadn’t heard of Feng Luo either. However, the young man before him felt strangely familiar, as if he had met him somewhere before, though he couldn’t recall where. Shaking his head, Cangxuan didn’t dwell on it.
The Flowing Cloud Region is vast and full of countless experts; how could I possibly know all of them?
"Careful, this kid is an expert! Everyone, attack him together!" The men of the Black Wind Camp also recognized Luo Feng’s formidable strength and roared in unison.
"Black Heart Claw!"
"Chaos Mountain Breaking Cloud Sword!"
"Eighteen Wind Riding Spears!"
About twenty Eighth-Level Hell Realm experts joined forces, attacking simultaneously. Each pushed their Yuan Qi to the limit, unleashing their ultimate techniques, preparing to finish Luo Feng in one fell swoop.
"Be careful!" The combined strike of more than a dozen Eighth-Level Hell Realm experts created a powerful pressure that made Yao Qing extremely nervous. She looked at Luo Feng, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.
Looking at the dozen or so martial artists rushing to kill him, Luo Feng shook his head slightly. His aura suddenly transformed, his clothes whipping about him. Like a perilous mountain peak suddenly rising from flat land, his entire momentum surged upwards.
"Break!" With a low shout, Luo Feng’s aura focused downwards, and he violently stomped his right foot on the ground. This stomp seemed to draw upon the Yuan Qi of the entire square, producing a thunderous sonic boom.
RUMBLE!
The moment his foot hit the ground, a deafening noise like thunder erupted. The entire mountain peak seemed to tremble beneath this stomp. The ground rippled outwards like violent waves.
AHH! AHH! AHH!
Several Black Wind Camp martial artists at the very front were caught by the shockwave. Their Protective Gang Energy shattered instantly, their legs were broken by the force, and they screamed in agony.
"Not good!"
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
The others felt the violent shockwave surging from underground. Their expressions changed drastically, and they scrambled to retreat. However, the shockwave was faster, sweeping over a radius of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye. All the Black Wind Camp martial artists within that area had their legs broken and collapsed to the ground, howling in pain.
The entire square suddenly fell into an eerie silence. The Black Wind Camp martial artists, who had been brimming with killing intent moments before, involuntarily halted. Their eyes fixed on Luo Feng, their faces filled with utter terror. A single attack had killed or injured nearly twenty Eighth-Level Hell Realm experts. Such power was terrifying.
Having broken the combined assault of the surrounding martial artists, Luo Feng looked at the Black Wind Wolf and said calmly, "Black Wind Wolf, are you still going to send your men to their deaths?"
The Black Wind Wolf’s face darkened slightly.
The strength of this young man is beyond my expectations. Judging from the power of that last strike, he’s likely a late-stage Ninth-Level Heavenly Court Realm martial artist!
Knowing that letting his men continue to fight would be futile, the Black Wind Wolf leaped up from his seat. His chilling gaze fixed on the young man in the square as he bellowed angrily, "Kid, I will tear your body into ten thousand pieces!"
The chill emanating from the Black Wind Wolf caused the temperature in the entire square to plummet drastically.
"Enough nonsense. Make your move," Luo Feng stated, his voice cold. The indifference in his tone clearly showed he held the Black Wind Wolf in no regard whatsoever.
Fury blazed across the Black Wind Wolf’s face. Just as he was about to strike, a sudden change occurred.
Liu Zixuan, who had originally been standing behind the Black Wind Wolf, had at some point moved to the edge of the square. Now, seeing that everyone’s attention was focused on Luo Feng and the Black Wind Wolf, Liu Zixuan suddenly leaped out, pouncing towards Yao Qing.
Yao Qing was anxiously watching Luo Feng’s confrontation with the Black Wind Wolf and didn’t expect Liu Zixuan’s sudden attack. Her pretty face showed a hint of panic. Biting her red lip, she thrust her treasured sword out diagonally at the critical moment. "Phantom Rider Sword!"
Yao Qing quickly calmed herself. Her Yuan Qi surged, and her sword emitted a fierce Sword Gang as she executed dozens of thrusts in an instant.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Each thrust unleashed a three-meter-long, thick beam of Sword Qi. The attacks were ethereal and traceless, like arrows shot from horseback, forming a barrier in front of Liu Zixuan, attempting to block his advance.
"Chief Escort, don’t struggle futilely. Just come with me," Liu Zixuan sneered. A cold smile touched the corners of his mouth. With a flick of his hand, a Silver Sword Dart shot out from his sleeve. "Silver Thread Sword Rain!"
With a cold shout, Liu Zixuan’s gaze sharpened. The flying Silver Sword Dart suddenly erupted with a brilliant golden radiance, transforming into countless streams of sharp Qi Force, like a torrential downpour.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
The sharp Qi Force seemed to shred the very air, leaving countless deep gashes on the ground.
