I Am Overlord

Yu Caidie held an important place in Xiang Shaoyun's heart. Since Jin Shui and Ling Lin were both here to get the yin devil wind for Yu Caidie, they could be considered his competitors. But between them and Yu Ziyi's followers, he would rather side with the former.

Yu Ziyi's followers were using the numerical advantage they had and were attacking to kill, something Xiang Shaoyun found repulsive. Jin Shui and Ling Lin were struggling bitterly against their opponents, and it looked like they could die at any moment. They wanted to flee, but all their escape paths had been sealed. Their only option was to fight their way out.

"Damn it! I am the young master of the Golden Horn Sect. If you dare to kill me, you will be hunted endlessly by the Golden Horn Sect," roared Jin Shui.

Jin Shui did not look like anything special, but when he fully unleashed his combat prowess, he displayed a remarkable strength with the golden and blue radiance rippling all over his body and the similarly golden and blue wheel-shaped weapon he was wielding.

"Hehe, nobody will know how you die if you're killed in the Devil Domain. The Golden Horn Sect won't know shit," said the leader of the opposing group.

This person was called Bai Yuji, someone whose draconic aura was 30 percent complete, even stronger than Jin Shui whose draconic aura was only 20 percent complete. He came from a different tier-7 organization and was one of the top 10 in terms of strength in Yu Ziyi's group.

"Brother Jin, I will slow them down. Take the chance to break out," said Ling Lin. He roared and released all his power. A sea of flame surged out of him as he swung his Firescale Saber at the opposing group.

Unfortunately for him, not one of the people here was weaker than him. His attack was powerful, but the opposing group only needed to send two people to deal with him. His attack was swiftly broken, and he even got himself seriously injured.

"Hmph, how naive. None of you can hope to escape today. Kill them!" Bai Yuji said. He charged Jin Shui, with three other people backing him up. They did not seem like they were going to give Jin Shui any chances. The other three moved toward Ling Lin, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"Brother Ling, looks like we won't be surviving this. Just go all out and take as many of them with us as possible," said Jin Shui with a determined look.

"Very well. It is my honor to be able to fight alongside you, Brother Jin," said Ling Lin in a heroic manner. In this moment of crisis, the relationship between them had actually deepened.

Just as the two were preparing to fight to the death, a different voice rang out, "Brothers, there is no need to be so pessimistic. I, Xiang Shaoyun, am here. We will kill these dogs together."

Xiang Shaoyun then appeared before them. When Bai Yuji and the others saw Xiang Shaoyun, a sinister glint shone in their eyes. They could remember this person clearly. This was a fourth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator capable of defeating a ninth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator, a feat that had left a deep impression on all of them.

"Xiang Shaoyun, leave. They have more people on their side. We won't be a match," Jin Shui quickly warned.

Ling Lin also spoke, "That's right. Xiang Shaoyun, you should leave and notify the Holy Maiden to watch out for her cousin. She is trying to kill every last one of us."

This kind gesture warmed Xiang Shaoyun’s heart, but after what happened with Huo Xudong, he had built another wall around his heart. It would be much harder for him to befriend anyone now. In any case, he did not even know Jin Shui and Ling Lin well. He was only helping them for Yu Caidie’s sake.

"Don't worry. If we work together, we can easily kill these clowns," declared Xiang Shaoyun confidently.

Not only had he fully recovered, he had even grown stronger. With his current strength, he wouldn't have much trouble dealing with peak Kings. Furthermore, he was currently comparable to regular Emperors in terms of speed. He was confident he could at least help Jin Shui and Ling Lin escape. But of course, he was aiming for more than that. He wanted to kill all these people to remove some of Yu Caidie's obstacles.

Bai Yuji looked at Xiang Shaoyun calmly and said, "Don't get overconfident just because you are somewhat capable. Don't forget, a genius that has yet to mature can die very easily."

After saying that, he waved his hand and the people around him resumed their attack on Jin Shui and Ling Lin. As for Bai Yuji, he focused on Xiang Shaoyun, intending to personally finish off this opponent.

"I shall personally carry out this task of erasing a top genius myself," said Bai Yuji as he slowly raised his sword before swinging it, sending a sword energy shooting forward.

Splashing Pandemic Rain!

As the sword energy shot forward, one transformed into ten, ten transformed into a hundred, and they kept multiplying to create a rain of swords that sealed all of Xiang Shaoyun's escape paths.

With his extraordinary vision, Xiang Shaoyun was able to see each sword energy clearly, including the attack's openings. He did not move rashly. Channeling the power of wind to his feet, he deftly dodged. In the kind of environment they were in, nobody below the second-stage Emperor Realm could match his speed. A regular War Emperor like Bai Yuji would not be able to pose him any sort of threat.

In short, Xiang Shaoyun could escape at any time he wanted. Bai Yuji and the others would not be able to keep him here. The attack missed, but Bai Yuji remained calm and sent another attack.

Five Layered Waves!

His sword energy transformed into waves, crashing forward again and again. The layers of waves compounded on each other, unleashing a might beyond what a peak King was capable of. Nobody capable of becoming a War Emperor before 30 years old was weak. Any attack released by someone like this could not be underestimated.

This battle technique was a true emperor technique. It was obvious how powerful it was. This was also one of the battle techniques Bai Yuji was most proud of. After all, not everyone cultivating this battle technique could grasp the technique's essence, yet he was proficient enough to release 70 percent of the technique's power. He was confident this technique was enough to kill Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun could feel an extreme threat from this technique. Starting to get serious, he used both the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps and his footwork intent to once again get away. The moment he dodged the attack, he started his counterattack.

Lightning Bolt Fist!

This was a technique Xiang Shaoyun had fully mastered. Instantly, 12 silver lightning bolts rained down from the sky, and the attack's might caused Bai Yuji's heart to thump violently.

Money also made his move, and together with Xiang Shaoyun, they both summoned a total of 36 silver lightning bolts. At the same time, the power of the innate purple lightning was also fully released.

At present, not only Xiang Shaoyun's spine was the color of purple and silver. The color was also spreading to his other bones. Therefore, he could summon lightning bolts much easier now, and he could release lightning attacks that were much more powerful than before.
