I Am Overlord

Chapter 838: The Overlord Has a Lot of Tricks up His Sleeve

When all the Royal Army members withdrew from the battleground, Xiang Shaoyun looked at Pan Yun and Yuan Xuefen and asked, "Why are there only two of you?"

"Overlord, we haven't found anyone else," said Pan Yun. historical

"Take one day to heal up. After that, we will go look for the others," said Xiang Shaoyun.

Pan Yun and Yuan Xuefen did not waste any time and immediately started healing. Xiang Shaoyun shot them a glance before using the profundity of wood to create a concentration of pure wood energy. The wood energy slowly permeated their bodies. The two sensed something, and they opened their eyes to look at Xiang Shaoyun in confusion.

Xiang Shaoyun said nonchalantly, "Focus on healing and don't think of anything else."

They now knew that what they felt was done by Xiang Shaoyun, so they stopped thinking and focused on healing again. The wood energy Xiang Shaoyun used this time did not have a clear healing effect like what he had done for the three birds, but it still helped to accelerate their recovery, and it was one of the ways one could use the profundity of wood.

Xiang Shaoyun had a feeling that if he could deepen his understanding, he would be able to push his comprehension on the recovery aspect of the profundity of wood to the limit.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed. Pan Yun and Yuan Xuefen woke up from their meditation.

"Thank you, Overlord," they stood up and said respectfully.

Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand and said, "We are brothers and sisters. There is no need to say all these polite words. Let's go. Time to look for the others."

He took the lead and walked in a certain direction. Pan Yun and Yuan Xuefen followed him as they mused inwardly, The overlord sure has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

They were well aware that with their healing capabilities, recovering to about 80 percent of their optimal state in a day was not possible. They would be able to recover up to 50 percent at most. With Xiang Shaoyun's assistance, they had upped their recovery by at least 30 percent. That was truly shocking.

One should never look down on the 30 percent increase. In moments of life and death, time was essential. In their eyes, Xiang Shaoyun became even more deep and unmeasurable.

Xiang Shaoyun did not care about what they were thinking. He scanned his surroundings with the senses of his Nether Soul Domain and used the profundity of wood to fuse with the forest, clearly sensing all plants in the area.

The devilish plants were extremely good at disguising themselves. At one glance, a devilish plant would look the same as an ordinary plant, and they would lie in wait to unleash a fatal attack when one least expected it.

Relying on his sharp senses, Xiang Shaoyun slaughtered all the devilish plants he came across, not giving them a chance to launch any sneak attacks. Pan Yun and Yuan Xuefen weren't even given a chance to do anything. They felt somewhat embarrassed to be watching and doing nothing as they traveled.

After all, they were the subordinates and should be the ones charging ahead. But now, the leader was the one charging ahead, causing them to feel extremely ashamed. Fortunately, Xiang Shaoyun soon allowed them to go ahead. He did not do so because he was tired of taking the lead. Rather, he had a sudden flash of inspiration he needed to focus on.

He had discovered that whenever he killed a devilish plant, pure wood energy and devilish energy would leak from the dead plants. When he absorbed the energy, he found that it was extremely beneficial for him. This area already contained dense ambient wood energy. However, the wood energy from the dead plants was much denser.

Thus, Xiang Shaoyun started absorbing the energy from the dead plants, growing his wood and devilish energies. This could be considered an unexpected gain. Thus, he allowed Pan Yun and Yuan Xuefen to take the lead while he immersed himself in absorbing energy.

Of course, he was also doing so to allow Pan Yun and Yuan Xuefen to gather more points. He could see that the two worked together well. Pan Yun would focus on defending while Yuan Xuefen would focus on attacking.

During the process, they were also able to gather some king and emperor medicines, further enriching themselves. After about five days, they encountered a group of about a dozen Overlord Legion members.

This group had yet to encounter any Flaming Sun or Royal Army members. But some of them had already been forced to withdraw by crushing their protective jades. After all, the devilish plants weren't easy opponents. Any carelessness could be fatal.

After meeting up with them, Xiang Shaoyun's confidence increased. He was hoping he could encounter other factions so he could eliminate those factions' people.

Not far away from Xiang Shaoyun's group, Tang Longfei and Ning Wenhuang were leading a group of about 30 people as they ran from two different groups.

The two groups were none other than the members from the Flaming Sun and the Royal Army. There were about 50 of them in total, holding a complete advantage over the Overlord Legion people.

Fortunately, among the Overlord Legion's group were Mu Qingyu and Wang Xin. Both were fifth-stage Emperors, allowing them to withstand the attacks of the Flaming Sun and Royal Army members while fleeing.

The chase seemed extremely intense. The occasional sneak attack from the devilish plants further increased the chaos.

The person leading the Flaming Sun group was Li Li. She had always been low profile and was extremely loyal to Yu Ziyang. She had an impressive cultivation speed and was already a sixth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. She was comparable with An Lulu the Lady Violence.

The Royal Army group was led by a fifth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm expert. Working together, Tang Longfei and the rest were having a hard time even escaping.

"Run, everyone! Don't get tangled up! We will have our revenge after finding the overlord and Deputy Commander Ouyang," said Tang Longfei.

"Hehe, you better crush your protective jades and leave, or all of you will suffer," said Li Li with an indifferent smile.

She attacked unceasingly, forcing Tang Longfei to retreat again and again. She demonstrated a formidable combat prowess that caused even the surrounding devilish plants to move out of her way.

Even with Wang Xin assisting Tang Longfei, the two were still not her match. As for Mu Qingyu, he was busy dealing with the fifth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm expert from the Royal Army and was unable to help the others.

A few people from the Overlord Legion were forced to crush their protective jades one after another, and some were able to forcefully escape. Finally, Li Li's whip struck Tang Longfei's chest, tearing his armor apart. He spat blood and collapsed onto the ground.

Wang Xin wasn't doing very well either. He was kicked in the stomach and was currently vomiting on the ground.

"Deputy commander of the Overlord Legion? Nothing special," said Li Li with contempt, ready to launch her final attack.

"Fine," Tang Longfei sighed as he prepared to crush his protective jade as well.

Suddenly, an indifferent voice rang out, "Is that so? Why don't you come meet the commander, then?"
