Martial Arts Overlord

Chapter 1081: Chapter 1078: Bitch, Escape!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Luo Feng and Lu Xiao Yun moved at incredible speeds, like phantoms, flashing to where the Demon Core was.

Both reached out at the same time to grab the Demon Core.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred.

Crack...

The Demon Core split in the middle, falling to both sides.

The blade strike from the black-faced middle-aged man happened to slash the Demon Core perfectly in half.

Luo Feng and Lu Xiao Yun’s eyes flashed, and they simultaneously absorbed the nearest half of the Demon Core into their palms.

"Hand it over!"

Lu Xiao Yun, unwilling to settle for only half, lowered his aura and pressed a palm towards Luo Feng.

"I’ve been guarding against you!"

Luo Feng smirked coldly in his heart, threw a punch that shattered the approaching Palm Gang, and both retreated backward.

As they were retreating, Lu Xiao Yun glanced aside and saw two figures coming towards them. He flipped his palm and swiftly stored half of the Demon Core into his storage ring, steadied his figure, and glared at Luo Feng, shouting loudly:

"Hand over the Single Horned Red Cloud Python’s Demon Core, and I’ll spare your life!"

At this moment, a white-haired elder and the black-faced middle-aged man arrived.

From their previous direction, they couldn’t see what happened within the blood rain. Now hearing Lu Xiao Yun’s words, their gaze turned to Luo Feng, instantly spotting the Demon Core belonging to the Single Horned Red Cloud Python in his hand.

"Boy, hand over the Demon Core to me. Otherwise, this will be your burial ground!"

The black-faced middle-aged man gripped his treasured saber, his cold and stern eyes fixed on Luo Feng.

The white-haired elder smiled, standing next to the black-faced middle-aged man, advising warmly:

"Young hero, my companion’s words were a bit harsh. Please do not take offense. That man is Lu Xiao Yun, one of the top ten new dragons, known as the Blood Cloud Fire Dragon. Offending him today will lead to inevitable death. But if you give the Demon Core to me, I can save your life. My master is the Crown Prince of Canglang Dynasty, even the top ten new dragons mean nothing to him."

"Yes, as long as you offer the Demon Core to me. I can also appoint you as a Guest Elder of the Crown Prince’s mansion, with endless beauty and wealth," the Crown Prince said generously from afar.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao Yun’s lips twitched, a chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes, but he did not speak.

After several exchanges, Lu Xiao Yun realized that the mysterious masked saber man was indeed formidable. He aimed to utilize the Crown Prince’s influence to trap the opponent, then find the opportunity to seize the other half of the Single Horned Red Cloud Python’s Demon Core.

Unconsciously, the three of them formed a corner encirclement, blocking Luo Feng’s escape route.

That bastard!

Luo Feng glanced coldly at Lu Xiao Yun.

He never expected Lu Xiao Yun would utilize the Demon Core to backstab him, provoking the Crown Prince’s entourage against him.

With his current strength, handling one peak Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artist was not a problem, but facing three individuals, including the unpredictable Lu Xiao Yun, left him with no chance of victory.

Moreover, everyone believed the Demon Core was with him; even if he explained that he only had half, no one would possibly believe him.

Furthermore, there was no need to explain.

"Fine, I will give you the Demon Core."

Luo Feng lifted his head, his eyes setting on the white-haired elder, affirming in tone.

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince’s group rejoiced inwardly.

Lu Xiao Yun’s expression turned extremely grim; he hoped the Crown Prince’s group would clash with the mysterious masked saber man, allowing him to reap the benefits. The current situation, however, shattered his plans completely.

For a moment, everyone’s thoughts were varied.

Suddenly...

Ha!

Luo Feng roared deeply, Yuan Qi surged through his body, and a punch he had been brewing for a long time exploded against the nearby cliff.

Boom!

A thunderous crash echoed; the cliff fractured, widening like a spider web.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Giant shattered rocks blasted outward, covering the large canyon ahead, including Lu Xiao Yun, the white-haired elder, and the black-faced middle-aged man.

The sudden upheaval startled everyone present, and Lu Xiao Yun’s group immediately struck to shatter the flying debris.

At that moment, a striking aura spread through the canyon.

Luo Feng’s body hovered in mid-air, a fierce aura emanated from within, and Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber flashed with strands of thunderbolt light, electricity seemingly dancing around him, imposing and unexplainable.

"Summer Thunder Falling from the Sky Saber!"

Gripping the saber handle with both hands, Luo Feng raised the treasured saber high, sinking his body, and a mighty blow slashed forward.

Boom!

A booming thunderous sound exploded in the canyon. The force of the saber was extremely terrifying, as the saber’s light magnificently erupted, resembling thunder from the nine heavens. A rending aura infused with the atmosphere rapidly aimed towards Lu Xiao Yun’s group.

"Not good!"

Amidst deflecting the debris, Lu Xiao Yun’s group felt a chill and instinctively dodged.

Brush!

The blinding saber Qi flashed through the void, slashing against the opposite cliff. Everyone raised their heads, stunned.

On the cliff, the terrifying slash marks intersected to form a giant ’Sky’ character, covering a range of a thousand meters, still emitting traces of thunderbolt aura, wandering around, striking fear into hearts.

"What a terrifying saber technique..."

In the canyon, many shared the same thoughts.

Brush!

In the moment they were lost in thought, a figure tore through the air, skimming close to the ground across the snake sea, flashing by rapidly towards the distance.

"He is escaping, quickly stop him!"

Seeing Luo Feng about to leave, the Crown Prince shouted anxiously.

"Boy, stop!"

The black-faced middle-aged man’s focus caught Luo Feng’s figure, and having been mocked several times, anger swelled within him. His eyes rounded fiercely as he slashed directly downward.

Pshh!

The cyan saber light flashed in the void, splitting Luo Feng in half, disappearing into nothingness.

"A clone!"

The black-faced middle-aged man’s eyebrows twitched, noticing Luo Feng already kilometers away, seething furious, and yelled:

"Boy, don’t think you can escape!"

Without hesitation, he sheathed the saber and charged out, pursuing Luo Feng.

"Elder Yang, chase quickly, we must retrieve the Single Horned Red Cloud Python!"

The Crown Prince’s eyes burned with rage, clenched fists, unleashing snarls like a trapped beast.

With the Demon Core almost within grasp, slipping right before him, how could he not be angry?

The white-haired elder frowned slightly, treading in the void, closely following the two.

Lu Xiao Yun’s gaze settled on the ’Sky’ character slash mark, his pupils contracted slightly, his figure flickered, appearing beside another disciple of the Sky Sword Pavilion.

"Senior Brother Lu..."

The disciple from the Blue Clothes Heavenly Sword Hall cast a worried glance at Lu Xiao Yun.

This senior brother always held himself in high regard, and was resolute in acquiring the Demon Core of the Single Horned Red Cloud Python. Yet, in the crucial moment, it was snatched away...

Lu Xiao Yun showed no expression, his eyes seething with deep hostility:

"Junior brother, let’s pursue. Dare to take from me, Lu Xiao Yun—I want to see who that masked saber man truly is."

"Yes!"

Brush! Brush!

Upon finishing, the two vanished from their spot.

In the canyon, only the group under the Sword Array were left, surrounded by countless roaring snakes and demon beasts.
