I Am Overlord

Chapter 1242



Di Lin hated Xiang Shaoyun with every fiber of his being. He had been suppressed by Xiang Shaoyun since birth. In his childhood, he was forced to fawn over Xiang Shaoyun. With great difficulty, he had turned things around, but he had still ended up being executed by Xiang Shaoyun. He had even lost Xia Yunxi after he was killed.

He wouldn't be satisfied with killing Xiang Shaoyun alone. He wanted to kill every single person related to Xiang Shaoyun, such as Yu Caidie, the Dragon Phoenix Academy's number one beauty. This was a woman Xiang Shaoyun liked, so he would not spare her. All he had in his heart was a grim murderous desire. Not even Yu Caidie's beauty could move his heart.

One could say that after fusing with Situ Mingyu's son, his character had changed as well. Yu Ziyang had not imagined that Di Lin would be brazen enough to unleash slaughter upon them. He was forced to work alongside Yu Caidie to protect their people as they retreated.

"Situ Dilin, if you continue this, not even Elder Situ will be able to protect you from the consequences," said Yu Ziyang even as he battled several Sovereigns.

At the same time, he commanded his people to retreat in different directions. They were only Emperors. Even if they could punch above their class, they were no match for these late-stage Sovereigns.

Yu Caidie clearly understood the type of danger they were in. She erupted with her strongest flame, instantly forming a dreadful sea of fire, and stopped the advance of about a dozen Sovereigns, creating an opportunity for the others to flee.

They were all genius cultivators from the Dragon Phoenix Academy. Even when they couldn't prevail over their opponents, they still had enough trump cards to flee. Unfortunately, some still failed to escape and were killed by Di Lin's people.

The Dragon Phoenix Academy overseers were still in the area. When they sensed what was happening, two of them returned. One of the two shouted, "Get lost! Even if you wield an elder's token, you don't have the authority to slaughter the academy's disciples. Tell them to stop!"

"Since you don't know what's good for you, die," said Di Lin as his eyes flickered with a scarlet radiance.

One ought to admit that he had gone mad from his hatred. He intended to kill even the overseers. Fortunately, the two overseers were no pushovers. They joined Yu Ziyang and Yu Caidie, instantly relieving the two of their pressure, and helped more disciples flee.

However, they had also placed themselves in danger doing so. It wasn't an easy feat for only the four of them to face so many Soul Foundation Realm experts. If the two overseers weren't already powerful cultivators in the first place, they would have been killed the moment they had joined the battlefield.

Yu Ziyang alone was facing several Soul Foundation Realm experts. With his cultivation of third-stage Soul Foundation Realm, he could face even eighth-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivators. With his saint weapon in hand, he could threaten all who stood in his path with death.

He wouldn't have been able to stop all his opponents if not for his saint weapon. However, not even he would be able to last long. There were too many opponents, and he wasn't even strong enough to decisively defeat even one of them. 

Working alongside her phoenix, Yu Caidie was facing a peak Soul Foundation Realm expert and several other attackers. Her opponents were even stronger than Yu Ziyang's.

However, she was also displaying a much scarier level of strength. Brandishing her fiery saint sword, she let loose one stunning battle technique after another. Phoenix cries resounded in the air every now and then while multicolored butterflies flitted about in the air. Energy swords flew everywhere, forcing all her opponents to retreat again and again.

"What a powerful woman. Attack from afar. I will look for a chance to finish her in one hit," commanded the peak Soul Foundation Realm expert.

At her command, the others unleashed a barrage of attacks on Yu Caidie and her phoenix. The bombardment blanketed the sky itself, intensifying the pressure Yu Caidie and her phoenix were under. During the critical moment, a butterfly-shaped shield appeared in Yu Caidie's hand. The shield rippled with a formidable power and formed a barrier around her and the phoenix, protecting them from the attacks raining down upon them.

This was no ordinary shield. A regular person wouldn't be able to break through its defense. With her shield in her hand, Yu Caidie and the phoenix charged in a certain direction before furiously slashing her opponents with her sword. A terrifying sword ripped the sky apart and engulfed three people in a boundless flame, instantly reducing them to ashes.

The three were killed before they could even make a sound. After killing them, Yu Caidie found an opening to break free of the encirclement, but instead of fleeing, she turned and charged in a different direction.

Her opponents unleashed their soul foundations and swarmed her with boundless energy, slowing her approach. At this time, the peak Soul Foundation Realm expert finally found an opening. With her nine-layered Soul Foundation Realm, she descended upon Yu Caidie and aimed for her vitals.

Dao Severing Slash!

A terrifying saber as powerful as a pseudo-Saint's attack descended from the sky. Yu Caidie raised her shield and blocked the saber. With the saber occupying all her attention, a hole opened up in her defenses, allowing the other attackers to separate her from her phoenix. Once she was separated from her mount, her overall strength naturally dropped. Even so, she still had the strength to face a peak Soul Foundation Realm expert. 

Even when forced to fight independently, both Yu Caidie and her phoenix could still handle their opponents easily. Unfortunately, the phoenix was eventually trapped within a net a cultivator had thrown, distracting Yu Caidie. She hurriedly rushed over to help the phoenix.

At that moment,  the peak Soul Foundation Realm expert increased the intensity of her attacks, not giving Yu Caidie a chance to help the phoenix. The other attackers also bombarded Yu Caidie with attacks, finally injuring her.

"Slaughter the phoenix," commanded Di Lin.

Yu Caidie grew anxious. She shouted, "You dare?"

She forcefully broke free of her attackers and continued rushing toward the phoenix. Alas, someone was already waiting in ambush. A sneak attack struck her, causing her to collapse onto the ground.

"Everyone Xiang Shaoyun likes shall die," said Di Lin murderously as he strode forth to deal her a finishing blow.

Suddenly, a figure wrapped in lightning charged over and blocked the fatal blow.
