Martial Arts Overlord

Chapter 1079: Chapter 1076: Struggle for the Treasure!

Lu Xiao Yun looked up at the Single Horned Red Cloud Python, revealing his intentions without any reservations, and said bluntly:

"I have come for it."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince’s face darkened as the worst possible scenario had emerged.

A ninth-level Demon Beast like the Single Horned Red Cloud Python wouldn’t warrant Lu Xiao Yun traveling all the way from the Sky Sword Pavilion.

Given this, the opponent must be aware of the Demon Python’s transformation into a dragon, with his goal being the demon core of the Single Horned Red Cloud Python.

"Lu Xiao Yun, let’s be frank. This Single Horned Red Cloud Python is something I’ve struggled to find with incredible effort. I hope you won’t get involved. Once this is all over, I’ll provide you with satisfactory compensation," the Crown Prince said, putting away his smile.

Lu Xiao Yun said nothing, flicking his right thumb.

Clang!

The red treasured sword unsheathed, and simultaneously, a fiery red sword qi shot out, slicing two charging massive pythons into halves, leaving a giant slash mark on the ground.

"Crown Prince, if I’m not mistaken, this should be the Yuan Sword Jade Plate of the Absolute Sword Sect. Tell me, how many strikes can this sword array withstand from me?"

Lu Xiao Yun caught the sword, glancing at the cyan yuan qi screen, seemingly ready to act.

The Crown Prince’s face stiffened, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.

Although the sword array formed by the Yuan Sword Jade Plate claims to fend off any True Yuan Realm martial artist’s attack, Lu Xiao Yun is not an ordinary Spiritual Rotation Realm powerhouse; he ranks within the top three of the new ten dragons.

This kind of strength can’t be measured merely by cultivation, or else, great losses will undoubtedly ensue.

Most crucially, he dared not put himself at risk.

"Are you threatening me?"

Clenching his fist, the Crown Prince ground his teeth.

Lu Xiao Yun ignored the Crown Prince’s remark and said to the martial artist in green: "Li Chen, my junior brother, wait here."

Having said this, Lu Xiao Yun’s eyes focused as he stepped forward.

Immediately, sand and stones at Lu Xiao Yun’s feet were scattered away, and a massive red sword light gathered on his body, shooting upward at lightning speed toward the Single Horned Red Cloud Python. The demon qi pillars shooting from below were left behind with a few hitting the sword light, being instantly torn apart, turning to nothing.

The Crown Prince wanted to stop him but remembered Lu Xiao Yun’s earlier words and dared not speak, only shouting to those fighting with the Single Horned Red Cloud Python:

"Elder Yang, quickly kill the Single Horned Red Cloud Python!"

As long as the Single Horned Red Cloud Python is slain and its demon core obtained, with the two elders guarding here, no matter Lu Xiao Yun’s tactics, he wouldn’t dare try anything.

"Elder Lin, don’t hold back anymore!"

The white-haired elder, always attentive to his surroundings, sensed danger as Lu Xiao Yun shot toward them and immediately shouted.

"Alright!"

The black-faced middle-aged man bellowed, a torrential aura rolling out from his body, causing the surrounding air to violently shake, a layer of practically solid cyan light condensing on his treasured saber, shining like crystal.

"Furious Waves Slash!"

Stepping forward, the black-faced middle-aged man slashed.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

The roar echoed through the canyon like the fury of waves, a scroll-like cyan saber qi emerged like it would cleave the heavens and earth.

Simultaneously, the white-haired elder attacked with all his might, lowering his center slightly, as a heavy aura spread, punching out a ten-meter-thick black light pillar.

The combined attack of these two top-tier Spiritual Rotation Realm powerhouses was earth-shatteringly powerful, the black fist power and cyan saber light fused, seemingly ready to break mountains and tear the land apart.

In this moment, everyone’s attention was drawn to this breathtaking scene, nobody noticing that after Lu Xiao Yun, a faint shadow slipped across the snake sea sky.

This figure moved faster, feeling its presence while the demon python below raised its head, only to find nothing there.

Roar, roar, roar, roar...

Facing the black fist power and cyan saber light sweeping in, the Single Horned Red Cloud Python felt the harbinger of death, desperately urging its demon qi, its tail breaking the cliff, launching massive, mountain-sized rocks into the sky.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom...

The explosion sound, like rolling thunder, rumbled on, the saber qi quickly extinguished completely, the black fist power slightly diminished, pounded on the Single Horned Red Cloud Python, shattering a patch of snake scales, leaving a large cavity in its flesh.

Seeing it failed to slay the Single Horned Red Cloud Python in one blow, the white-haired elder frowned, about to act again.

At this time, a frosty voice rang nearby.

"Since you two can’t handle this Single Horned Red Cloud Python, let me do it."

The sound of the wind broke as Lu Xiao Yun appeared beside the Single Horned Red Cloud Python.

"Lu Xiao Yun, are you courting death!"

The black-faced middle-aged man, with a fiery temper, seeing Lu Xiao Yun trying to claim the demon core, roared.

Unaffected, Lu Xiao Yun shook his hand, swinging his treasured sword four times, three massive red sword qi like mountain peaks slashed down, targeting the Single Horned Red Cloud Python’s head, the vital spot for the demon core, and its belly.

Clang! Pchh! Pchh!

Having given all it had to fend off the white-haired elder’s combined attack, the Single Horned Red Cloud Python now had less than ten percent of its remaining demon qi, barely blocking the sword qi aiming for its head, but incapable of countering the other two sword qi.

The snake scales without demon qi protection were frail and easily sliced apart by the sword qi, continuing downward, cleaving the Single Horned Red Cloud Python’s body into three parts, blood gushing like a torrent, a fiery glow shooting out with the blood from the belly.

"Now’s the time!"

Luo Feng seized the chaos, reaching the vicinity, seeing the Single Horned Red Cloud Python killed, his figure flitted, heading toward the body at the vital seven-inch spot, where the demon core was located.

"Trying to profit from this! Begone!"

The black-faced middle-aged man, only now realizing there was another uninvited guest besides Lu Xiao Yun, flared in anger, slashed out, his concentrated saber qi piercing the air with a sharp sonic boom.

Sensing the chill attacking from behind, Luo Feng furrowed his brow.

Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to a red glow in the pool of blood, his expression shook, and he stepped into the air.

Bang!

The air beneath him exploded into ripples, his body suddenly veering, shooting away, dodging the saber light.

"Vexing!"

The black-faced middle-aged man’s face contorted in rage, about to strike again but was stopped by the white-haired elder beside him.

"Elder Lin, the demon core!"

A distant cry of urgency came from the Crown Prince.

Hearing the shout, the black-faced middle-aged man suddenly awoke, ignoring Luo Feng, his figure flashing, both he and the white-haired elder lunging toward the serpent’s vital spot.

"You two, halt."

A voice suddenly sounded, Lu Xiao Yun obstructed their path, slashing out with a sword.

Whoosh!

The red sword qi drew an arc-shaped light screen in the canyon, blocking the path of the two elders.

"Lu Xiao Yun, you’re asking for death!"

The black-faced middle-aged man’s hair and beard bristled, slashing out a blow.

Pchh!

The sword light was pierced, and the two elders, along with Lu Xiao Yun, lunged downward.

Elsewhere, Luo Feng arrived at the location of the fiery glow.

Extending his hand, he absorbed the cluster of firelight from the pool of blood into his hand, his face suddenly shifting, his gaze revealing intense delight.

"Unexpectedly got such a thing. This trip wasn’t in vain..."
