Martial Arts Overlord

Chapter 1070: Chapter 1067: Whoever Takes My Things Dies!

Thinking about the shocked expressions of those who supported his second brother, the Crown Prince felt a wave of satisfaction in his heart, even a faint smile appeared on his lips. He turned to the white-haired elder and the black-faced strong man and said:

"My father has recently reached a critical point in his cultivation and always has the intention to train beyond the borders. When the time comes, he will definitely decide on the heir. As long as I become the King, both of you will be King Marquis."

"Thank you, Crown Prince!"

The expressions of the white-haired elder and the black-faced strong man were somewhat excited.

They knew very well that with their potential, the hope of breaking through to the True Yuan Realm in this lifetime was slim. Their achievements in Martial Arts had almost reached their limit, and they had given up on pursuing advancement in Martial Arts. If they could become King Marquis, they wouldn’t have walked this world in vain.

"When shall we set off, Your Highness?" the white-haired elder asked.

The Crown Prince said, "Since everyone is here, let them prepare. We will set off for the Fire Scale Mountain in two hours. Elder Yang, have the necessary things been prepared? I don’t want to make this trip for nothing."

"Rest assured, Crown Prince, everything has been prepared. I borrowed a Three-pupil Fish from a friend in the Purple Extreme Palace, and with the scales of the Single Horned Red Cloud Python that Elder Ji brought back, once we reach the Fire Scale Mountain, we can quickly find the whereabouts of the Single Horned Red Cloud Python."

"Very well. Give the order to prepare for departure."

Luo Feng saw the people in the valley starting to pack up the camp and withdrew his gaze, pondering in his mind.

The words of the Crown Prince dispelled the doubts in his heart, and he finally understood why Tu Shan had that map.

Unexpectedly, there was such a phenomenon rumored to happen at the Fire Scale Mountain where a Demon Python could transform into a dragon.

He had also heard of the Demon Python transforming into a dragon and knew that the Demon Core of such a Python, containing the bloodline of the ancient Divine Dragon, could be directly consumed by a Martial Artist to enhance their cultivation without any side effects. No wonder the Crown Prince would bring so many people to such lengths.

"Demon Python transforming into a dragon... If I could obtain this Demon Core, my cultivation should directly rise to the peak of the ninth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm."

With a hint of excitement in his eyes, Luo Feng immediately decided to head to the Fire Scale Mountain.

Not to mention the great usefulness of the Single Horned Red Cloud Python’s Demon Core to him, just the presence of the Crown Prince here made it impossible for him to ignore this matter. Thinking about the Crown Prince’s ugly expression if he snatched the Demon Core right out of his hands, he felt a wave of delight.

As for taking this opportunity to kill the Crown Prince, Luo Feng had also considered it, but quickly abandoned the idea.

The two Martial Artists of the ninth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, their strength was not below his own, and to assassinate the Crown Prince under such protection was too risky. Once his identity was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This matter could be addressed later; there was no rush.

Watching the people in the valley packing up the camp, Luo Feng thought for a moment, and without waiting for the Crown Prince’s group to move, he swiftly headed towards the direction of the Fire Scale Mountain.

He knew the Three-pupil Fish, a second-level Demon Beast capable of living in both water and air, was extremely sensitive to Demon Qi and often used by Martial Artists to locate Demon Beasts.

With the Three-pupil Fish and the scales of the Single Horned Red Cloud Python, the Crown Prince’s group should have little trouble finding the Python hidden in the Fire Scale Mountain. Originally, Luo Feng planned to follow the group but realized this would be too imprudent.

The Red Dragon Mountain Range was full of dangers, and with top experts of the Spiritual Rotation Realm in the group, following them was too risky, and his location would be easily exposed.

Since he knew they were heading to the Fire Scale Mountain, it was better to go there and wait.

Taking out a map he got from some adventuring Martial Artists, Luo Feng used the Sky Cloud Step to avoid various dangerous spots, racing towards the Fire Scale Mountain.

One hour after Luo Feng had left, the Crown Prince’s group also set off immediately.

Swish! Swish!

After an unknown period, two figures like streaks of flaming electricity shot over the valley, Luo Feng had seen them in the Red Mysterious City before; they were Lu Xiao Yun and another disciple from the Sky Sword Pavilion.

Upon learning about the Demon Python transforming into a dragon, Lu Xiao Yun immediately followed his junior brother towards the Fire Scale Mountain.

Swish! Swish!

Both of them were extremely fast, their figures slicing through the air, creating sounds akin to blades cutting through, producing layers of substantial airwaves behind them.

"Junior Brother, wait a minute."

Passing above the valley, Lu Xiao Yun suddenly stopped.

"Senior Brother, what’s the matter?"

Lu Xiao Yun flickered into the valley, sweeping a glance at the traces on the ground, and frowned slightly: "Many people have camped here. From the traces, there should have been forty to fifty people."

"That many people!"

The other disciple wearing blue from the Sky Sword Pavilion was shocked.

In such a treacherous place as the Red Dragon Mountain Range, such a large-scale operation was practically courting death. If they attracted the attention of Demon Beasts, the outcome would be terrifying. Yet, knowing this, they still acted so boldly, which meant they were up to something.

Could it be related to the Martial Artist injured by the Single Horned Red Cloud Python...

Thinking of this, the expression of the blue-clad Martial Artist flickered, looking at Lu Xiao Yun:

"Senior Brother Lu, could it be..."

Lu Xiao Yun’s face turned grim, nodding: "It seems someone else is eyeing that Single Horned Red Cloud Python besides us..."

Clang!

Halfway through his words, a morbidly cold killing intent appeared on Lu Xiao Yun’s face, and the crimson sword at his waist instantly unsheathed.

Unbeknownst to them, a Demon wolf nearly ten meters long with fiery red mane, each hair a foot long, had appeared above the valley, its blood-red eyes locking onto the two people below.

Roar!

With a wild howl, the ground shook, the Demon wolf’s forelegs shattered the peak, shooting down like a sharp arrow, its massive shadow enveloping the two in the valley.

"Die!"

Lu Xiao Yun gripped his sword hilt, not even turning his head, spun around, and swung a sword strike.

Whoosh!

A surge of flaming light erupted under the sword, and a massive sword light over a hundred meters wide appeared between heaven and earth. The sword light froze for a moment before gradually dissipating.

Splash!

The huge body of the Demon wolf trembled slightly, split in the air from the middle, and blood splattered all over the ground, even the mountain behind revealing a deep bottomless sword mark.

"Senior Brother, your Swordsmanship has advanced again."

Looking at the corpse of the Demon wolf on the ground, the disciple in blue from the Sky Sword Pavilion revealed a look of admiration and awe in his eyes.

Judging from the Demon Qi, the strength of this Demon wolf was at least on par with a mid-level ninth Spirit Rotation Realm Martial Artist, yet it was slain with just one simple sword strike!

Clang!

Lu Xiao Yun, his expression indifferent, sheathed his sword, his icy gaze directed towards the southeast, the location of the Fire Scale Mountain.

"Junior Brother, let’s go. I’d like to see who dares take what belongs to me, Lu Xiao Yun!"

Lu Xiao Yun’s tone was filled with killing intent. This Demon Core of the Single Horned Red Cloud Python was crucial for him to smoothly break through to the True Yuan Realm before the New Dragon Ranking Assembly. No matter what, he wouldn’t let anyone lay claim to it!

Anyone daring to eye this Demon Core has only one outcome: death!
