I Am Overlord

Chapter 837: Trashing the Royals in Anger

Apart from Pan Yun, there was another Overlord Legion member there as well. She was Yuan Xuefen, a fifth-stage Emperor known for her Windchaser Arrow technique. Both had been teleported to the same area, so they were able to group up quickly.

Unfortunately, they had caught the attention of the Royal Army members. Relying on their superior numbers, the Royal Army people heavily injured the two.

The so-called Royal Army was none other than the faction founded by Huang Tianji in the academy, a faction ranked higher than the Overlord Legion. If it wasn't for the Overlord Legion's recent rapid growth, the gap between the two would be much larger.

This particular Royal Army group was led by a peak fifth-stage Emperor called Shuai Hong, one of the four strongest guards of Huang Tianji. Shuai Hong was extremely handsome. His face looked like it was sculpted, and his eyes were as bright as the brightest star. He stood tall and straight, looking full of vigor with his azure armor and halberd.

A group of about a dozen disciples of different cultivation levels was following him, and they held the absolute advantage in the battle. As far as they were concerned, Pan Yun and Yuan Xuefen were as good as theirs. Thus, they were completely at ease, exposing their plan without care. Little had Shuai Hong imagined that Xiang Shaoyun would arrive and overhear their conversation.

"Xuefen, looks like we have no choice but to leave early," said Pan Yun with a bitter smile.

"I cannot accept withdrawing just like this. I want to try fighting," said Yuan Xuefen stubbornly.

Pan Yun clenched his teeth and said, "I'll cover your retreat. I never hoped to enter the top 100 anyway."

He used a defensive technique unique to him and erected a barrier before Yuan Xuefen, trying to create an opportunity for her to flee.

"You overestimate yourself. Neither of you can hope to escape. Get them both!" commanded Shuai Hong with a disdainful sneer.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Are you capable of getting them both, though?"

Before Pan Yun and Yuan Xuefen, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

When the two saw the newcomer, joy covered their faces. They exclaimed, "Overlord!"

Shuai Hong's pupils shrank when he saw Xiang Shaoyun. His halberd lashed out as he roared, "Attack with your full strength and take them down at all cost!"

Shuai Hong was very clear that if they couldn't defeat Xiang Shaoyun with a rapid attack, they would be the ones to flee in the end. Before they could attack, Money attacked from behind them. His strong and sturdy body swept about, sending several disciples flying.

On the other side, Xiang Shaoyun met Shuai Hong's attack with a domineering punch. The fist crushed through Shuai Hong's attack before striking his chest, blasting him away.

The other Royal Army members failed to surround Xiang Shaoyun because Money's sneak attack had caught them by surprise. As for Shuai Hong, he had been sent flying with a single punch, causing their morale dropped. Regardless, they were all genius cultivators who would not flee just because of lowered morale. They used their full strength, exposing one trump card after another to resist Xiang Shaoyun and Money.

Their strength was rather impressive. If this was half a year ago, Xiang Shaoyun would have had a hard time dealing with them. But now, he could suppress them completely.

Xiang Shaoyun moved into their midst, shifting the energy in his fists to a green energy that made each punch of his seem like the attack of an ancient tree. He looked like he was punching randomly, but it also seemed like he could predict all their movements in advance. He proceeded to wreak chaos among them.

Money, with his recent growth in strength, trashed a few of their opponents. The Royal Army members did not lack quality armor and weapons, and thus, they weren't completely helpless. However, the advantage they had established earlier was completely destroyed.

The only thought they had in mind right now was to escape. Otherwise, they would either be killed or forced to withdraw from the battleground. Xiang Shaoyun did not intend to show them any mercy. He relied on his ultimate speed and trashed the Royal Army members. They were completely helpless against him.

"Xiang Shaoyun is actually this strong? We need to retreat, or this will be it for us!" said Shuai Hong. His earlier confidence was nowhere to be seen, and he started fleeing. historical

Unfortunately for him, a nearby flower suddenly bloomed and swallowed him just as he started fleeing. Shuai Hong was too focused on fleeing and had not expected to be ingested by a flower. He was forced to attack with his full power to destroy the flower.

That tiny delay gave Xiang Shaoyun the time to finish up with the others before rushing toward him. Without holding anything back, Xiang Shaoyun stomped on Shuai Hong's face.

"AHHH!"

Shuai Hong felt like his entire nose had been destroyed, an intense pain assaulting him as blood sprayed out of his nose.

With one foot on Shuai Hong's chest, Xiang Shaoyun asked, "What did you mean earlier when you said that the Overlord Legion was the target for cleanup?"

With a stubborn look, Shuai Hong said, "I won't tell you anything."

"Then that leaves you with only one option," said Xiang Shaoyun coldly.

"Yes, I choose to say goodbye," said Shuai Hong, howling with laughter. He crushed his protective jade, and Xiang Shaoyun could only watch on as his prisoner vanished right under his nose.

Shuai Hong was a fifth-stage Emperor, someone strong enough to get onto the Dragon Phoenix List. For him to unhesitatingly give up and withdraw from the battleground, he was quite a resolute person.

"You think I can't figure anything out without you?" Xiang Shaoyun sneered as he returned to his previous position.

Money, Pan Yun, and Yuan Xuefen had the remaining Royal Army members under control. A small number of them had been able to withdraw using their protective jades.

"I'll give you all one chance. Tell me what's going on, or I will kill you all," demanded Xiang Shaoyun coldly.

They trembled when they sensed his thick murderous intent. Some of them were unwilling to withdraw from the battleground this simply, so they started speaking. It turned out that the Royal Army and the Flaming Sun had joined hands to clear the Overlord Legion from the battleground.

Xiang Shaoyun's face turned ghastly when he heard their explanation. He commanded, "All of you, withdraw immediately."

"You promised to spare us! You're breaking our trust!" said one of them unhappily.

"I am already being merciful by not killing you, yet you're here talking about trust with me?" said Xiang Shaoyun as he gave the person who had spoken a kick.

Bang!
