Martial Arts Overlord

Whoosh...

Slowly letting out a breath, Luo Feng pushed aside his scattered thoughts and lifted his head to look at Yue Haitang.

Yue Haitang stood there in a daze, staring at the enormous sword mark on the ground, not moving at all.

He could hardly believe that this sword strike had been unleashed by himself.

Luo Feng walked over to stand in front of Yue Haitang and said with a smile:

"Haitang, congratulations on comprehending Sword Intent."

Yue Haitang withdrew his gaze from the sword mark. Seeing Luo Feng, a flush of excited color rose on his slightly pale face. "Luo Feng, thank you."

He knew very clearly that being able to comprehend Sword Intent so quickly was, for the most part, thanks to Luo Feng.

That explanation about Sword Intent had been like a sudden enlightenment, making Sword Intent incomparably clear in his heart at that moment, and he had directly manifested it.

Comprehending Sword Intent held immense meaning for him, because many of the wondrous uses of the Sword Heart Heaven Jade required that a Swordsman comprehend Sword Intent to activate them. In addition, if he wanted to go to the Sword Tomb in the future, he also had to comprehend Sword Intent.

This was what the Cold Moon Marquis had told him: if one wished to go to the Sword Tomb, their cultivation must have stepped into the True Yuan Realm, and Sword Intent was also indispensable.

"I only did what was within my power. In comprehending Sword Intent, the key still lay with you."

Luo Feng smiled faintly, took out a pale red pill, and said, "Your injuries had only just healed; you can’t be careless. Take this Blood Pill. We’ll rest here for two hours before we continue on our way."

"Alright."

Yue Haitang nodded, took the pill from Luo Feng’s hand, swallowed it, then found a clean spot and began to regulate his breathing.

An hour later, Yue Haitang slowly opened his eyes and, looking up, saw Luo Feng right beside him.

The mountain wind was bitterly cold. Luo Feng stood there straight as a spear, his robes fluttering. His figure, though not especially burly, gave off a faintly extraordinary aura, as if he had been standing there for a long time.

For a moment, Yue Haitang was a little lost in thought.

Hearing the movement, Luo Feng turned his head and asked, "How is it?"

Yue Haitang stood up, Yuan Qi surging over his body, and flicked a finger into the air.

Immediately, a nearby small rocky hill was pierced through, leaving a large hole two to three meters wide.

Turning back, Yue Haitang said, "Just now my blood and Qi were a bit虚浮, but the injury wasn’t serious. There’s no problem anymore."

Luo Feng said with a smile, "That’s good. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to explain myself to your father."

Yue Haitang curled his lips, then suddenly asked curiously, "Luo Feng, how come you understand Sword Intent so well?"

"Although Grand Momentum and Sword Intent are not exactly the same, they share many similarities. I was just speaking casually."

"Speaking casually?"

Yue Haitang was stunned for a moment, then showed a wry smile and said, "Others exhaust their entire lives and still can’t comprehend even a trace of Sword Intent, yet you just speak casually and help me break through my bottleneck and smoothly comprehend Sword Intent. If other Swordsmen heard these words of yours, who knows how many would be angered to death."

Luo Feng couldn’t help but laugh.

Back then, he had personally witnessed He Qin comprehending Sword Intent, which was why he had some unique insights into it.

After the two of them rested for a while, they continued on their way.

By the afternoon, the two had arrived at the fringe region of the wasteland.

"At our current pace, we should be able to reach Red Mysterious City by tomorrow."

Yue Haitang observed the surrounding mountains and terrain, then turned back to look at Luo Feng and said, "Luo Feng, when do you estimate you’ll be able to break through to the True Yuan Realm?"

Luo Feng rubbed his nose and said, "It should be soon."

Yue Haitang nodded, a hint of gravity flashing in his eyes as he said, "Two months ago, I passed by the Sky Sword Pavilion and heard some news. Lu Xiao Yun is already in seclusion, attacking the True Yuan Realm. After all, he’s a veteran Martial Artist of the Spiritual Rotation Realm with deep foundations. Once he breaks through to the True Yuan Realm, he’ll be anything but ordinary. If you want to defeat him at the New Dragon Ranking Tournament, you must break through to the True Yuan Realm; only then will you have a chance."

"Mm."

Luo Feng nodded. After thinking for a moment, he still decided not to tell Yue Haitang for now that he was already capable of contending with Martial Artists of the True Yuan Realm.

A Martial Artist of the Spiritual Rotation Realm possessing the strength to defeat a True Yuan Realm Martial Artist was, in itself, somewhat shocking. If he told Yue Haitang now, it would definitely take a lot of explaining. Better to wait until the New Dragon Ranking Tournament, when everything would naturally become clear.

Yue Haitang said, "Also, you need to be careful of the Crown Prince. This man is insidious and cunning. Knowing that you escaped this calamity, he will definitely think up other schemes to deal with you."

A cold glint flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes as he nodded and said, "I’ll be careful."

If it came to a direct confrontation, he did not fear the Crown Prince, but this time the Crown Prince had made use of the Demon Sect, intending to put him to death. Who knew what schemes he would come up with next time.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Luo Feng’s ears twitched, and he looked up toward the sky.

Whoosh!

From the northwest, a streak of emerald light shot over, and in the blink of an eye arrived before Yue Haitang. It was a Spirit Mirror.

"This is the Spirit Mirror the Jade Hall uses to contact its Disciples."

Yue Haitang raised his brows, grabbed the Spirit Mirror in his hand, and began to read the contents inside.

After a while, he pressed his lips together, put away the Spirit Mirror, and said to Luo Feng somewhat helplessly:

"Luo Feng, it seems we have to part ways here."

Luo Feng asked, "Is it the Jade Hall notifying you to return to the Golden Palace to prepare for the New Dragon Ranking Tournament?"

"Mm. Our Jade Hall is the farthest from Group Dragon Island, where the New Dragon Ranking Tournament is being held. Even for Martial Artists of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, it takes seven or eight days."

"Alright, then we’ll meet again on Group Dragon Island." Luo Feng nodded. For him, traveling alone was actually a good thing. With Yue Haitang around, there would always be some scruples when cultivating; alone, he could let go completely.

"Then I’ll take my leave first."

Yue Haitang clasped his hands in farewell and was just about to leave when he turned back to say to Luo Feng, "Luo Feng, in the area around Red Mysterious City, Demon Sect Disciples are often active. You’d best not reveal your identity. On this trip back to the Jade Hall, I’ll first make a stop at Azure Sky City and have people inquire about the Crown Prince’s movements. If he makes any unusual moves, I’ll use the Spirit Mirror to inform you."

"Thank you."

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

Yue Haitang pressed his lips together again and said, "Don’t forget what you promised me."

Luo Feng smiled. "Don’t worry. Since I’ve given you my word, I naturally won’t go back on it. After the New Dragon Ranking Tournament ends, I’ll accompany you to the Sword Tomb to see your mother."

"Mm."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Yue Haitang’s lips. He displayed his Qinggong, his figure leaping away, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Watching Yue Haitang leave, Luo Feng took out the black mask and put it on, then performed the Sky Cloud Step, soaring up into the sky.

He did not head straight for Red Mysterious City, but instead flew slowly, carefully searching the surroundings.

As he went forward, the terrain gradually rose, with peaks thrusting up one after another. Very soon, Luo Feng saw a mountain valley.

The valley was surrounded on three sides by sheer peaks, with a small stream running through the middle, giving it a very tranquil feel.

"This place is good; no one should come here to disturb me."

Luo Feng nodded, and with a flash of his figure, appeared within the valley.

He decided to cultivate properly here for a while before returning to Linglong Hall.
