Chapter 871
Xiang Shaoyun did not intend to provoke too many powerful enemies, but Zhan Wushuang had actually attacked Money. He couldn't let that slide. In any case, the Crushing Sky had been attacking the Overlord Legion members before this as well. With the old and the new grudges adding up together, he could no longer sit still.
But just as he was about to make his move, the lightning bolts actually started bombarding Zhan Wushuang. One ought to know that the breakthrough of a demonic beast could not be interrupted. And Zhan Wushuang had done just that. Thus, the heavenly tribulation had included him as a target alongside Money.
Xiang Shaoyun could have waited and let Zhan Wushuang be attacked by the lightning bolts. However, he dove right in without any hesitation, swapped his Radiant Saint Sword with the Overlord Skyslaying Saber, and slashed at Zhan Wushuang.
At this time, all the other disciples had stopped battling due to the heavenly tribulation. When they saw Xiang Shaoyun diving right into the midst of the rain of lightning, their eyes widened in shock.
That was a lightning tribulation of an Emperor! Few of them would dare to face a tribulation of this level directly.
"Xiang Shaoyun actually dares to challenge Zhan Wushuang? Is he seeking death?" said Yu Ziyang with a sneer after pulling some distance from Ouyang Chuanqi.
Ouyang Chuanqi frowned and was worried over Xiang Shaoyun. He was no longer in the mood to continue fighting.
On the other hand, Lei Bao roared with laughter, "Hahaha, Brother Shaoyun, that is truly domineering. From now on, you're my friend!"
Lei Bao had long found Zhan Wushuang an eyesore. His previous battle with Zhan Wushuang had been interrupted before a victor was decided, but he had still sensed that there was a gap between him and Zhan Wushuang. When he saw Xiang Shaoyun having the courage to challenge Zhan Wushuang, his opinion of Xiang Shaoyun increased.
As for Baili Yixiao, he sheathed his sword and looked at Xiang Shaoyun with an amused expression, as though he was waiting to see just how special this genius with a top-grade physique was.
Zhan Wushuang had attacked Money because he had truly been infuriated. He did not even care about the lightning tribulation, and one could say that his overbearingness had truly reached an overwhelming level.
With his pair of gold fists, he punched the lightning bolts around him apart. The lightning bolts were unable to harm him.
He sensed Xiang Shaoyun's approach immediately, and a look of derision flashed in his arrogant eyes as he said, "Even a clown like you is trying to step on me? You overestimate yourself."
Wolf Breaker!
Faced with the rain of lightning saber energies unleashed by Xiang Shaoyun, Zhan Wushuang punched, launching a wolf forward. The punch was extremely dreadful, instantly blasting numerous lightning bolts into nothingness.
This was Zhan Wushuang's punch, a punch containing an intense battle intent and fist intent. His battle intent was unparalleled, and his fist intent was unequaled.
Zhan Wushuang had always believed that the two were all he needed to reach the peak of strength. Relying on his unyielding spirit and his valiant fists, he walked his very own path to absolute strength.
The punch blasted Xiang Shaoyun's lightning attack into nothingness and sent him flying away. It was at that moment that Xiang Shaoyun fully comprehended what Ouyang Chuanqi had meant when he said he couldn't even survive five of Zhan Wushuang's punches.
Xiang Shaoyun finally believed that Zhan Wushuang was truly that strong. It was no wonder even Ouyang Chuanqi had to retreat in the face of Zhan Wushuang.
But the stronger Zhan Wushuang was, the more Xiang Shaoyun's warlike blood boiled. At this moment, his past life's warlike character reawakened. A domineering aura that would strengthen the stronger his opponent was covered his entire body as he roared in excitement, "A fine punch! This overlord shall have a fair fight with you!"
After saying that, he actually kept away his Radiant Saint Armor, intending to have a fair fight. In the eyes of others, this was an act of suicide.
"Has Xiang Shaoyun gone mad?" Xiao Xie cursed.
He once fought Xiang Shaoyun. Although Xiang Shaoyun had been improving rapidly, he did not believe that Xiang Shaoyun was strong enough to contend with Zhan Wushuang. At the very least, he had to first reach the ninth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm.
"Truly suicidal," Long Shi sneered.
Han Chenfei started worrying. She rushed toward Ouyang Chuanqi and said, "Brother Ouyang, let's work together and help the overlord."
Ouyang Chuanqi shook his head and said with a smile, "We can't stop this, nor should we try. In any case, the overlord might not lose."
"The overlord is still two stages lower. It's too dangerous for him to challenge Zhan Wushuang," said Han Chenfei anxiously.
"That is his choice. We only need to watch," replied Ouyang Chuanqi.
At this time, Xiang Shaoyun had launched another attack at Zhan Wushuang. His Overlord Skyslaying Saber flew out and slashed at Zhan Wushuang.
Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique, fourth stance, Complete Destruction!
Xiang Shaoyun had regained the combat experience of his previous life when the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique was his signature technique. Thus, the technique now came much more naturally to him.
He was using the fourth stance for the first time. Numerous lightning bolts rained down, working together with the lightning tribulation to create a devastating concentration of lightning bolts that rained down at Zhan Wushuang. The lightning bolts were thick with saber intent and seemed capable of eliminating all living beings.
If Xiang Shaoyun relied only on his lightning star and lightning bone, he would not be able to stand against Zhan Wushuang. But with the assistance of lightning profundity and the lightning tribulation, it was an entirely different story.
With Xiang Shaoyun fully displaying the destructiveness of lightning, who would dare to face him? Even Zhan Wushuang frowned at the sight of the incoming attack. He could feel a sense of danger, and without any hesitation, he punched.
Heaven Smasher!
His fist intent had reached late second stage, making his punches extremely powerful, as though he was going to smash apart even the blue dome of heaven. Who could stop his fist? Not even the fury of lightning could!
Rumble! Rumble!
The two attacks clashed, creating a terrifying shockwave. The lightning tribulation continued, sending bolts of lightning down ceaselessly. It was as if a calamity had descended upon the world, and anyone faced with this calamity would find themselves fearful.
The surrounding disciples withdrew far away, not daring to approach the battlefield. Only a small number of them dared to continue observing the battle nearby.
Everyone had thought that Xiang Shaoyun would be instantly killed, but looking at the numerous clashes between the purple saber energies and the golden fist energies, they realized that Xiang Shaoyun wasn't as weak as they had thought. Rather, he was strong enough to match Zhan Wushuang. It caused them all to be dumbstruck.
"What a terrifying battle. I thought Xiang Shaoyun cultivates nine powers? How can he fight Zhan Wushuang with only a single star?"
"Since Xiang Shaoyun is not afraid of the lightning tribulation, it is obvious he also has an Innate Lightning Physique. But even so, that is still not enough to block Zhan Wushuang's attacks. Has he grown stronger with the lightning tribulation's assistance?"
"I believe so. Without the lightning tribulation's assistance, I'm afraid Xiang Shaoyun would not be Zhan Wushuang's match."
"Keep watching. I have a feeling there is more to Xiang Shaoyun than we had thought."
