Martial Arts Overlord

Chapter 1003: Chapter 1000: Possessed by a Fiend

With the iron cage key in hand, Luo Feng and Shen Qing flashed forward and appeared beside the cage.

"Ying’er! Mother’s here to save you."

Shen Qing looked at Luo Ying, whose whole body was covered in blood, pressed her red lips together, and was about to step up to open the cage.

"Aunt, be careful!"

Luo Feng’s brows lifted; he stretched out a hand and stopped Shen Qing.

Hiss!

At the same time, Luo Ying let out a low growl inside the cage, the blood-red vertical pupils dragging out two afterimages like broken rainbows as she swung her claws to grab toward them.

Clang!

With a deafening crash, the massive force made the ground tremble; the violent Qi Force tore several shocking claw marks into the floor.

Luo Feng’s brows furrowed slightly. He felt that cruel, bloodthirsty aura on Luo Ying seemed even stronger than before. He turned to Shen Qing and said: freewёbnoνel.com

"Aunt, let me."

Taking the key, Luo Feng stepped forward, opened the cage, and walked in.

Ha!

The blood light in Luo Ying’s vertical pupils surged; the fox tail behind her split from one into two, she spat out a scorching breath, and suddenly lunged at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng frowned slightly. Luo Ying’s eyes were filled with ferocity and brutality, far more terrifying than any ordinary Demon Beast, bringing a spiritual oppression that made his heart instinctively tremble, his hands and feet go soft.

However, he was ultimately someone who had comprehended the Grand Momentum and could suppress the void. His gaze sharpened, his spirit instantly condensed into one, no longer affected by her eyes. With a wave of his hand, a transparent Palm Gang shrouded down toward Luo Ying.

Bang!

The blood-colored Claw Strength slammed into the Palm Gang, sonic booms exploding all around. Luo Feng’s figure shuddered from the impact, and he was secretly shocked—Luo Ying was only at the late ninth layer of the Meridian Wheel Realm, yet she could actually shake him back.

Buzz!

His five fingers curled, the transparent Palm Gang closed in, firmly binding Luo Ying; no matter how she struggled, she couldn’t move.

"Feng Er, don’t hurt her." Shen Qing stood to the side, hands clenched, anxious.

Luo Feng nodded. His left hand flicked twice, blasting the chains embedded in Luo Ying’s shoulders out, blood splattering.

Hiss!

Seemingly affected by the intense pain, Luo Ying sucked in a breath, the blood light in her eyes dimmed a bit, and her body went limp toward the ground, only to be supported by Luo Feng.

Raising her head, Luo Ying looked around, then lifted her gaze to Luo Feng and Shen Qing and gave a weak smile:

"Luo Feng, Mother, I made you worry."

Shen Qing shook her head, excitedly grabbing Luo Ying’s hands, wiping the moisture from her eyes. "Ying’er, it’s fine as long as you’re okay. Right, hurry and take this Invigorating Blood-Clarity Pill."

Seeing Luo Ying’s injuries were severe, Shen Qing immediately took out a dark red pill, preparing to feed it to her, but Luo Feng reached out and stopped her.

"Aunt, give her this instead." Luo Feng took out a Qingling Revitalizing Pill.

Shen Qing didn’t know what pill this was, but this was obviously not the time to ask. She poured out one pill and carefully fed it to Luo Ying.

After swallowing the pill, Luo Ying’s tightly knitted brows relaxed a little, and the wounds on her shoulders began to stop bleeding.

Seeing this, Shen Qing’s eyes were filled with surprise. What grade of healing Spirit Pill was this, for its effect to be so astonishing!

Swish!

Just then, Luo Ying suddenly sat up, her eyes a solid blood-red; that trace of clarity from moments ago had completely vanished.

Hm?

Luo Feng reacted with lightning speed; he thrust out a palm and bound Luo Ying inside. Almost at the same time, two beams of blood light burst from Luo Ying’s eyes, eerily scarlet.

"Aunt, this is no place to stay. Let’s return to the mansion first and find a physician to treat Cousin." Luo Feng said.

"Alright."

Shen Qing also knew they couldn’t delay. She nodded and led the way ahead.

The group quickly left the square.

Only after Luo Feng and the others’ figures completely disappeared did the crowd watching in the square gradually calm down—though their hearts were still in turmoil.

"After today, there will no longer be a Wang Family in Black Cloud City."

"The Wang Family colluded with bandits and marauders; their destruction is only fitting. But Elder Yufeng—who would’ve thought he valued Luo Feng so highly. Not only did he punish Gu Yushan, he even personally gifted Spirit Pills."

"That’s not surprising. Luo Feng is only sixteen and is already a rising figure on the New Dragon Rankings. Surpassing Elder Yufeng in the future is just a matter of time; he might even walk out of our Canglang Dynasty. Elder Yufeng probably wants to forge a favor with Luo Feng. If the day comes when Luo Feng’s name shakes the world, this favor will be no small thing."

"Well said. After this incident, the rankings among the six great families will probably shift a lot. The Luo Family will likely rise to second among the six."

"Very likely. By the way, what was going on with that Luo Ying? Her aura was too terrifying, simply no longer human—she even felt a bit like a Demon Beast."

"Could she really have been possessed by some demonic creature?"

"If that’s true, then even a True Yuan Realm expert wouldn’t be able to save her..."

Murmurs rolled across Purple Cloud Square.

Black Cloud City, Luo Mansion.

All the maids and guards in the Luo Mansion were hurrying back and forth—it was a scene of hectic activity.

Roar!

Bursts of neither-human-nor-beast roars came from a side room—this was Luo Ying’s quarters.

Inside the room, Shen Qing paced back and forth, her face beaded with cold sweat, glancing outside from time to time.

Luo Feng sat by the bed, his expression grave.

Luo Ying was lying flat on the bed. The blood-colored nails on her hands were nearly a foot long; the Yuan Qi fox tail behind her had increased from one to three; her pair of vertical pupils were a solid blood-red. Her exposed beast fangs kept emitting low roars, her aura bloodthirsty and ferocious.

If Luo Feng weren’t using Gang Qi to restrain her, Luo Ying would probably have already erupted into a killing frenzy.

Looking at Luo Ying, Luo Feng’s palms were slick with cold sweat.

He could feel the strength of Luo Ying’s struggles changing rapidly. Under his Soul Power perception, that terrifying force inside her was swelling bit by bit. He didn’t know medicine, but he still understood that Luo Ying was already teetering on the edge of life and death. If this continued, she might really be devoured by that savage aura.

Although the Qingling Revitalizing Pill was a sixth-grade holy medicine for healing, it was helpless against this strange power.

"Has the physician still not arrived?"

Luo Feng looked toward the doorway and called out loudly.

A pretty maid hurried in, panic-stricken:

"We’ve already sent someone to invite him. He should be here any moment."

"Hurry!"

"Yes."

Shen Qing glanced at Luo Ying, pressed her red lips tight, and asked, "Feng Er, Ying’er... she won’t be in danger, will she?"

Luo Feng took a deep breath and forced out a slight smile. "Aunt, Sister Luo Ying is blessed by the heavens. She’ll be fine."

Shen Qing nodded slightly. Seeing Luo Ying’s external wounds were already healed, she couldn’t help asking, "Feng Er, what pill was that just now?"

"Qingling Revitalizing Pill."

"Qingling Revitalizing Pill..."

Shen Qing pondered for a moment, then suddenly covered her red lips, exclaiming, "The sixth-grade healing Spirit Pill, Qingling Revitalizing Pill!"

Luo Feng nodded. "I obtained it by chance before. This time it just happened to come in handy."

Shen Qing drew a light breath. How could she not know the value of a Qingling Revitalizing Pill? Gratefully, she said:

"Feng Er, thank you. If it weren’t for you today..."

Luo Feng shook his head and looked at her. "Aunt, we’re all family; there’s no need to be so formal. I’ve received plenty of care from you all in the past as well."

Shen Qing smiled softly. "Alright, then I won’t say it again. When Ying’er wakes up, I’ll have her thank you in person."

As they spoke, a figure rushed in—it was the maid who had gone out earlier.

"He’s here! He’s here."

The delicate maid’s face was flushed; she panted a few times, both happy and anxious. "Madam, Young Master, the physician is here!"

"Quick, invite them in!"

Shen Qing’s eyes lit up with emotion as she hurriedly spoke.

A moment later, two figures walked in. On the left was an elderly man in a cyan long robe, hair and beard both white; beside him was a young woman with a graceful figure and charming looks. As she walked, a faint musk seemed to drift in the air, refreshing to the senses.
