I Am Overlord

Xiang Shaoyun's stunning performance had caused even Zuo Zhentian and Tang Longfei to stop their battle. Both of them had indescribable looks on their faces as they witnessed Xiang Shaoyun kicking Bai Qi, a War Emperor, around like a ball.

"How is he so strong? How is he so fast?" Zuo Zhentian exclaimed in alarm.

He had always believed that few among those in the same cultivation realm could be his match. But this brand new seventh-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator had displayed an overwhelming strength and absolute superiority over everyone in the same cultivation realm. That was something he found hard to believe.

"Strong, really strong. He is indeed worthy of being Uncle Xiang's son, hahaha!" Tang Longfei laughed in a carefree manner.

Zhao Wu, bitterly fighting Shou Xie, also saw what happened. Bai Qi's fate caused him to shiver in fear.

It's over! Zhao Wu exclaimed inwardly as he started thinking of escaping. It was at this moment that Shou Xie charged him again, throwing a punch that transformed into a massive bear that swatted him into the ground.

"F*ck you! If I still don't show you something, you will really think that I'm weak! I have merely been holding back earlier!" bragged Shou Xie proudly.

Zhao Wu couldn't even be bothered to continue the fight. Instead, he quickly retreated. He was afraid that if he was any slower, Xiang Shaoyun would turn him into a corpse as well. Alas, he had barely started his escape when a noiseless attack arrived.

Sphhlt!

Zhao Wu had just sensed the approaching crisis when his head was separated from his body.

"Trying to flee after offending Young Master Xiang? How naive!" Huo Xudong sneered.

One ought to admit that Huo Xudong was someone very good at adapting to different situations. The moment he saw Xiang Shaoyun's stunning strength, he declared his position and made it clear he was at Xiang Shaoyun's side. Meanwhile, earlier when Bai Qi and Zhao Wu were attacking Xiang Shaoyun, he had been hiding by the side observing silently. Few people could compete with his scheming mind.

With Bai Qi’s death, his storage ring naturally became Xiang Shaoyun's plunder. Done with Bai Qi and Zhao Wu, Xiang Shaoyun looked at Zuo Zhentian. Zuo Zhentian did not even dare to meet his sharp gaze.

"You were trying to make a move against me as well, right? Come at me!" Xiang Shaoyun said as he flickered and reappeared beside Tang Longfei.

Zuo Zhentian looked at Xiang Shaoyun, suppressed his uneasiness and said, "Don't be too arrogant, kid!"

"Am I being arrogant?" Xiang Shaoyun asked himself. His eyes lit up as he continued, "So what if I'm arrogant?"

Pa!

Right after he uttered those words, he vanished and reappeared beside Zuo Zhentian. He swatted his palm to the side and slapped Zuo Zhentian's face before Zuo Zhentian could do anything. And before the others could even fully react, Xiang Shaoyun vanished and reappeared at his previous spot.

"Do you still want to kill me?" asked Xiang Shaoyun with a faint smile on his face.

Zuo Zhentian was a lofty genius of the Zuo Clan. Being slapped in public like this was a great humiliation to him. He instantly raged, "I'll kill you!"

He summoned a large number of lightning bolts from the sky. These lightning bolts were even more powerful than the ones he had summoned during his battle against Tang Longfei. This was his true strength, and his anger was apparent from the fact that he no longer hid his strength.

"Hehe, fighting me with lightning? How naive!" Xiang Shaoyun laughed as he strode right into the midst of the lightning rain. He was completely immune to the lightning bolts. On top of that, he was actually absorbing the lightning energy into his body.

"Impossible! My lightning bolts are strong enough to kill even regular Emperors! How can you be completely immune? Is it because of the silver lightning power?" Zuo Zhentian cried out in alarm.

He was sure Xiang Shaoyun did not have the Innate Lightning Celestial Physique. The only explanation for this seeming immunity to lightning would be the existence of a higher-tiered lightning power within his body. That was why he could disregard these lightning bolts.

"Hehe, think what you want," Xiang Shaoyun sneered as he formed a fist and threw a punch out. The moment he punched, the lightning bolts Zuo Zhentian had summoned started converging around his fist, lending him their power as the fist energy flew toward Zuo Zhentian. Overwhelmed with fear, Zuo Zhentian fled without a second thought.

Bang!

Alas, he was too slow, and the punch directly blasted him several hundred meters away.

"Consider this a warning for offending me and Brother Tang. If you dare harbor any malice against us again, I will take your life," said Xiang Shaoyun indifferently.

Zuo Zhentian's heart was filled with indignation, but he dared not stay. The only thing he could do was take his resentment with him and flee gloomily. The geniuses here all came from extraordinary backgrounds, including Zuo Zhentian. There was no way Xiang Shaoyun would kill all of them. If he did so, it would only cause trouble for him in the future when he tried to retake the Ziling Sect.

"Hahaha, how overbearing of you! Well done! You are worthy of being Uncle Xiang's son," said Tang Longfei in a carefree manner.

"Big Brother Tang, you know my father?" Xiang Shaoyun turned around and asked seriously.

Tang Longfei had been protecting him for the past few days, but he really couldn't remember if he had met this person in the past. He had always possessed a good memory, and he could even remember the events that had transpired when he was three years old. However, he couldn't remember meeting Tang Longfei before.

"Kid, of course you don't remember me. Back then, we only caught a glimpse of each other. You were too busy messing around with those beauties back then and did not even spare me a look. But you should remember my father, Tang Zhan. Both him and Uncle Xiang were known as the 'Two Gallant Warriors' back then," said Tang Longfei.

After some recollection, Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed in excitement, "Tang Zhan? You are from Uncle Tang's family—" 

Before he could finish his words, Tang Longfei nodded and said, "That's right. The last time I saw you was more than 10 years ago. At a young age, you wasted your time messing around instead of doing something useful. Back then, I looked down on you. But for some reason, both my father and Uncle Xiang doted on you greatly. I was even jealous of you back then. During the internal conflict of Ziling Sect, my father had personally gotten involved as well. He wanted to exterminate the Di Clan, but they had gotten the help of some unknown experts that forced my father to hold back. He also said that Uncle Xiang will return one day and those bastards will regret the betrayal."

When Xiang Shaoyun heard that, he was both moved and filled with melancholy. His melancholy came from the fact that the Ziling Sect had been lost in his hands, and he was moved because of what Tang Zhan had done for his family. He lived up to his identity as a sworn brother of his father.

Xiang Shaoyun remembered Tang Zhan well. Back then when this Uncle Tang had visited the Ziling Sect, he had brought him a lot of presents and had doted on him as much as his own father. But he had not stayed long at the Ziling Sect during the visit and had left soon after.

Xiang Shaoyun was unaware that this Uncle Tang was actually the governor of the Bloodsin City. If he had known, he would have definitely come here for refuge instead of some desolate place like Wu Town.
