Martial Arts Overlord

Shui Qingcheng ignored the questioning of Corpse Ghost Taoist, her right hand shimmering with mysterious light as she quickly cast several spirit jue.

Swish swish swish swish swish swish...

The sound of the air being torn filled the world as the air currents surged, countless nine-colored mysterious lotus flowers converged toward the Corpse Ghost Taoist, layer upon layer, transforming into a massive nine-colored lotus flower in the blink of an eye, imprisoning the three of the Corpse Ghost Taoist inside.

"Shui Qingcheng, do you think you can trap me, the Corpse Ghost Taoist, with just a wisp of consciousness?"

The blood light in the eye sockets of the Corpse Ghost Taoist flickered fiercely, harboring infinite fury, as a cold, icy shout emanated from his bone mouth:

"Blood Calamity Bone Catastrophe!"

As the voice fell, intense blood light erupted from the Corpse Ghost Taoist, enveloping him and the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon completely.

In the next moment!

Boom!

With a great explosion, the Corpse Ghost Taoist and the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon suddenly burst open, transforming into countless bone swords, darting through the nine-colored mysterious lotus.

Clang clang clang clang clang clang...

A thick layer of blood light condensed on the bone swords as they collided with the nine-colored mysterious lotus, emitting earth-shattering sounds. Each collision caused the space within to tremble slightly.

Luo Feng’s mind shook slightly; this was the first time he witnessed such a high-level duel. It was even more astonishing than the battle between several True Yuan Realm experts in Azure Sky City back then!

"The Blood Calamity Primordial Bone Technique of the Blood Demon Sect..."

Shui Qingcheng’s figure dimmed a little, watching the storm of bone swords swirling within the nine-colored mysterious lotus, her delicate brows slightly furrowed. As her figure flickered, she arrived in front of Luo Feng and Yue Haitang.

"Linglong Hall Master..."

Yue Haitang hastily bowed.

"Hall Master, why..."

Luo Feng had just started to speak when Shui Qingcheng interrupted him with a gesture.

Shui Qingcheng glanced at Yue Haitang, then turned her gaze to Luo Feng, saying:

"Luo Feng, you don’t need to be surprised. When you left the Golden Palace, Linglong instructed me to leave a Divine Refining Body on you, which is why I can appear here. Once you return to the Golden Palace, everything will be clear to you."

"It’s Shui Linglong..."

Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit more grateful to Shui Linglong in his heart.

Shui Qingcheng glanced at the group trapped by Corpse Ghost Taoist and said:

"Corpse Ghost Taoist is already a half-step Yuan Sea Realm martial artist, extraordinarily powerful. I only have a sliver of consciousness here and can at most trap him for half a quarter of an hour. It’s not safe to stay here any longer; you must leave immediately."

Luo Feng’s mind trembled, he nodded and said:

"Thank you, Hall Master."

Seeing that Luo Feng was about to leave, Shui Qingcheng reached out to stop him, saying:

"Luo Feng, Corpse Ghost Taoist has suffered such a loss, he won’t let you go. His Blood Calamity Primordial Bone Technique has reached the level of Small Success; you won’t escape his pursuit."

Luo Feng frowned, "Then what should I do?"

"Head northwest."

Shui Qingcheng looked toward the northwest, saying, "A hundred miles away, there are two people there. I have already informed them to help you. Once you reach there, they can keep you safe."

Luo Feng didn’t know how Shui Qingcheng knew there were people a hundred miles away, but at this moment, the nine-colored mysterious lotus was shaking more violently, knowing the situation was extremely urgent. Staying a moment longer would mean more danger; he nodded and said:

"Alright! Haitang, let’s go!"

Swish! Swish!

After taking the Qingling Revitalizing Pill, their injuries had recovered somewhat. They immediately utilized qinggong, flying toward the northwest, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Shui Qingcheng watched their silhouettes vanish and looked up at the sky.

A moment later.

Boom!

Like the roar of thunder, an explosion echoed in the desert sky, shattering the nine-colored mysterious lotus into nothingness. The powerful shockwave scraped away a large swathe of the desert below, sinking the ground by a dozen meters instantly.

Swish!

Two Demon Generals and a storm of bone swords shot out from the chaos.

The storm of bone swords coalesced, and in an instant, the Corpse Ghost Taoist and the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon reappeared.

Standing on the back of the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon, the Corpse Ghost Taoist swept his sinister gaze around, and within a few miles, there was no sign of life. Luo Feng, Yue Haitang, and Shui Qingcheng had all vanished without a trace.

Immediately, a fiendish aura emanated from the Corpse Ghost Taoist, and he suddenly roared in fury:

"Shui Qingcheng, I shall kill you some other day! Chase after them, no matter what, Luo Feng must be slain today!"

Ten Demon Generals, plus several thousand outer sect disciples from the Spiritual Rotation Realm, had already paid a heavy price. If Luo Feng could not be slain, what face would Corpse Ghost Taoist have left?

"Yes!"

The two Demon Generals replied with a word, shadowing the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon, shooting towards the northwest.

...

Linglong Hall, inside the Water Cloud Hall.

The Seven-Colored Mysterious Light enveloping the grand hall gradually receded, and Shui Qingcheng’s gaze returned to its usual clarity.

"Sister!"

A figure approached, Shui Linglong gazed at Shui Qingcheng, asked anxiously: "What happened, why did you use the Purple Hall Divine Refinement Technique?"

With the date of the New Dragon List Tournament approaching, she had just gone to Panlong Residence to see if Luo Feng had returned to the Golden Palace. Upon her return, she saw thunder flashing above the Water Cloud Hall, and upon entering the hall, found Shui Qingcheng using the Purple Electric Divine Refining Technique.

Given Shui Qingcheng’s power, using the Purple Electric Divine Refining Technique was surely no minor matter!

Shui Qingcheng stood up and said, "It’s Luo Feng."

"Luo Feng... Did something happen to him?"

Shui Linglong recalled the Divine Refining Body that Shui Qingcheng had left inside Luo Feng when he departed, her expression changed slightly.

Shui Qingcheng nodded: "He is in the Red Flame Desert, being chased by several thousand Blood Demon Sect disciples, among them are a few experts of Demon General rank, including one Corpse Ghost Taoist."

"Corpse Ghost Taoist!"

Shui Linglong took a deep breath, her gaze suddenly becoming sharp, "How dare he! Sister, I will immediately take people to the Red Flame Desert."

Buzz!

With a wave of Shui Qingcheng’s hand, Shui Linglong was instantly held in place, unable to move.

"Linglong, you’re still so impulsive."

Shui Qingcheng shook her head slightly, saying: "The Red Flame Desert is thousands of miles away, even if you bring people there, what can you do? Do you intend to storm the Blood Demon Sect?"

Shui Linglong’s face looked unsightly, her silver teeth ground:

"But... I... Luo Feng is my direct disciple! If I cannot avenge him, what qualification do I have to be his master!"

"Calm down, I left the Divine Refining Body within him, naturally I won’t let him have any mishaps. Luo Feng is not only your direct disciple, but also a disciple of our Linglong Hall."

Shui Qingcheng smiled somewhat helplessly, saying: "I used the Divine Refining Body to buy him some time. Unfortunately, I have not yet entered the Divided Spirit realm, otherwise things wouldn’t be so troublesome."

Shui Linglong paused, then said joyfully: "Sister, this means... Luo Feng is fine?"

Shui Qingcheng nodded, "Nearby there are two Silver Swordsman from the Sword Tomb, I directed Luo Feng to find them, he should be fine."

"Silver Swordsman from the Sword Tomb?"

Shui Linglong frowned, "The Sword Tomb clan has always been self-sufficient, uninvolved with worldly affairs, will they help Luo Feng?"

"Although Sword Tomb’s people rarely concern themselves with worldly matters, they still discern right from wrong. One has already agreed to protect Luo Feng’s life, they shouldn’t go back on their word."

"Mm."

Shui Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, the Sword Tomb’s people have always been as good as their word.

Shui Qingcheng continued: "There is one more thing, Luo Feng has already reached the peak cultivation of the ninth level in the Spiritual Rotation Realm."

"Peak cultivation of the ninth level of Spiritual Rotation Realm! How did he break through so quickly?" Shui Linglong’s eyes revealed surprise.

"He seems to be cultivating some kind of peculiar technique, even I cannot see through it. Anyway, it is his good fortune; it is best not to inquire more. Along with Fei Hua, Ling Qingwu, Yang Wanyi and others, at this year’s New Dragon List Tournament, our Linglong Hall can make a good fight."

A slight smile appeared on Shui Qingcheng’s exquisite face, her gaze scrutinizing Shui Linglong.

"Linglong, you have broken through to the True Yuan Realm?"

"Just broke through a few days ago." Shui Linglong replied.

Shui Qingcheng nodded, rarely making a joke, "You need to try harder. This time I used the Divine Refining Body, Luo Feng also received some benefits. He should soon break through to the True Yuan Realm. He has comprehended the Grand Momentum, by then you, his master, may not be his match."

Hearing this, Shui Linglong raised her fine eyebrows, saying: "That may not be."

Shui Qingcheng knew this sister had developed a competitive spirit, smiled slightly, "Keep this matter in mind. I have received word that soon the Nine Sacred Grounds will select disciples, do not miss this opportunity."

"The Nine Sacred Grounds selection of disciples?"

Shui Linglong furrowed her beautiful brows, showing confusion: "Isn’t the Nine Sacred Grounds’ disciple selection every thirty years? I remember the last disciple selection period was less than twenty years ago, why so fast this time?"

Shui Qingcheng said: "It should relate to the turbulent situation among the five domains. In the West Desert’s Demon Region, someone from the Demon Eye clan has awakened Eyes of God, Demon Sect has begun to ally with Underground Demons, even the thousand-year absent Saint Soul in the North Sea has reappeared; major events occurred in the East Ridge’s Demon Region and Southern Forest Wilderness. The Nine Sacred Grounds cannot sit idly by regarding these matters, seemingly they aim to swiftly find outstanding disciples, nurture them, enhance strength, to cope with future unforeseeable circumstances."

"Mm."

Shui Linglong nodded thoughtfully.
