I Am Overlord

Chapter 868: Defeating Huang Tianji

Xiang Shaoyun held the absolute upper hand in his battle against Huang Tianji. His Overlord Skyslaying Saber seemed to have become an extension of his body. Each slash was incomparably fierce, displaying a saber intent that was approaching the second stage.

Each time his saber looked like it was about to be thrown from his hand, it still remained in his grasp, as though it was a limb that could be used as he wished.

Human weapon unity, steering the saber!

Xiang Shaoyun had never focused much on cultivating saber intent. But after recovering some of his past life's memories, he had regained some of his past experience with the saber. The memories formed some sort of resonance with his body that allowed his saber skills to reach an extreme level. historical

This was the same Overlord Skyslaying Saber he had wielded in his previous life, the same saber that had accompanied him as he waged war all over the world. It had long become one with him. Thus, the resonance between him and the saber was merely him regaining what he had lost.

Huang Tianji was definitely not weak. He had a primary-grade nine-star physique. The power unleashed from his nine stars was exceptionally frightening. If Xiang Shaoyun hadn't relied on his speed to repeatedly avoid Huang Tianji's attacks, he would have long been taken down.

"Xiang Shaoyun, is this all you're capable of? Cowering like a turtle? If you are really that great, come face me head on!" Huang Tianji provoked.

"Hmph. I'm doing just that. You can talk big after you actually manage to touch me," said Xiang Shaoyun. His saber attacks intensified, making Huang Tianji even more miserable. Huang Tianji's armor had been scorched black by the repeated bombardments, and numerous bloody scars could be seen on his arms. Only his head remained unharmed.

"You really think you'll win for sure? Emperor's Dragon Transformation!" Huang Tianji was unwilling to be tormented to death. He roared and pushed his Royal War Aura to the limits. A white dragon with five claws burst out of his back before merging with his body. It was as though he himself had transformed into a true dragon as he proceeded to charge Xiang Shaoyun.

A dragon trailed through the air, seemingly splitting the gorge into two. Even with Xiang Shaoyun's speed, Xiang Shaoyun couldn't dodge the sudden attack, and he was struck on his chest.

Clank!

Huang Tianji had believed that he could end Xiang Shaoyun with this attack, but alas, his sovereign weapon had failed to penetrate Xiang Shaoyun's saint armor. The only thing he had done was send Xiang Shaoyun flying from the impact.

Xiang Shaoyun swiftly grabbed Huang Tianji's spear and borrowed the impact of the hit to pull in Huang Tianji. He then used his other hand and swung his saber at Huang Tianji's head.

The ruthless counterattack gave Huang Tianji a scare. He lowered his head in panic, and his crown was sent flying away. His hair cascaded down his head, making him look even more miserable.

Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to intensify his attacks, Huang Tianji's battle aura enveloping his spear shook, numbing Xiang Shaoyun's hand. He was forced to release the spear, creating an opening that Huang Tianji swiftly took advantage of. Huang Tianji swept his spear toward Xiang Shaoyun, forcing him to retreat as he took the chance to quickly retreat outside of the gorge.

"Xiang Shaoyun, I will definitely slay you after I finish breaking through," said Huang Tianji as he fled the gorge.

Xiang Shaoyun was unwilling to let Huang Tianji slip away. After all, he was much faster. But as soon as he left the gorge, Pan Yun's voice rang out, causing him to stop. "Overlord, Lady Shura is here!"

When Xiang Shaoyun looked over, he saw Pan Yun guarding the unconscious Lady Shura at a corner.

He frowned and dashed over, giving up on Huang Tianji. He asked, "What's going on?"

They hadn't been able to find Lady Shura before this. He had thought that she had withdrawn from the battleground.

Pan Yun heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I have no idea. I only saw Young Master Ghost bringing her here. When I chased after him and demanded that he release her, he did so because he seemed much more interested in the treasures. But whatever I tried, I haven't been able to wake her."

Xiang Shaoyun's heart tightened as he scanned Lady Shura's aura. When he saw that she did not seem injured, his worry lessened.

"I think she's fine. We'll talk about taking you out of this place. It's too dangerous here," said Xiang Shaoyun.

He then lifted Lady Shura with one hand and dragged Pan Yun with the other. They then flew away. With his current strength, charging out of the perimeter formed by the immortal dead tree and blood devil vine was not an issue. In any case, the two plants had been greatly weakened by the joint attack of many disciples.

While flying away with Pan Yun and Lady Shura, Xiang Shaoyun caught a glimpse of the battle between Han Chenfei and Gui Mochou. Killing intent flickered in his eyes as he muttered, "With a glance, it is obvious enough that he is nothing good. He must have done something to Lady Shura."

Xiang Shaoyun decided to capture Young Master Ghost and interrogate him.

His body flickered about as he broke through the perimeter of vines and branches. After leaving the perimeter, he handed Lady Shura to Pan Yun and said, "Regroup with the legion and take good care of her. I'll come back soon."

He then dove into the gorge once again. Although his target was Gui Mochou, he was also targeting the blood devil vine and the immortal dead tree. He was well-read and had once read about the value of the two plants from an ancient text. He naturally wouldn't let go of the plants after encountering them. Equipped with a saint sword, he was totally capable of uprooting them entirely.

In a flash, Xiang Shaoyun arrived near Han Chenfei and Gui Mochou. As he observed their fight, he found that Han Chenfei was actually suppressed by Gui Mochou.

Han Chenfei's absolute frost energy might be powerful, but the blood devil vine was proving to be too big of a disturbance. Thus, Gui Mochou held the upper hand with his movement technique. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before Han Chenfei was defeated.

"Hehehe, Han Chenfei, you're nothing special," said Gui Mochou as he let loose a sinister laugh. His laughter sounded incredibly spooky, as though it could disturb one's mindset. As a result, Han Chenfei's mental stability was disturbed, and her attacks began to weaken, allowing Gui Mochou's attacks to claw her more and more.

If Han Chenfei wasn't protected by her ice armor, she would have been ripped into shreds.

"Where does this piece of garbage come from? You dare bully a member of the Overlord Legion?" roared Xiang Shaoyun when he couldn't take it anymore. He charged over and stomped his foot at Gui Mochou's head.
