Chapter 1582: Courting Trouble For The Overlord
When Xiang Shaoyun sensed Wu Feng"s aura, his body flickered, and he slammed Wu Kecai"s corpse into the ground. Wu Feng reached out to catch the corpse, but he was actually pushed back several steps by the impact. Even his arm felt numb from the collision. Only then did Wu Feng realize that Xiang Shaoyun was probably no weaker than he was. Xiang Shaoyun was probably even stronger than him.
He calmed down and asked, "Who are you exactly? Why were you so ruthless toward a member of our Immortal Road Chamber?"
The moment the Immortal Road Chamber was mentioned, the surroundings sank into silence, as though that name itself carried a magical effect to bring everyone into a solemn mood.
"Ruthless? Why didn"t you say anything when he broke my brother"s limbs earlier?" said Xiang Shaoyun indifferently.
With his current strength, he feared n.o.body, including those from the super organizations. Anyone daring to step on him or those close to him would be regarded as an enemy.
"Good. Looks like you really hold no respect toward the Immortal Road Chamber. Let me see for myself just how capable you are," said Wu Feng with a sinister expression. He put Wu Kecai"s corpse away. A golden saber appeared in his hand as his aura erupted. A sharp, golden energy flooded his surroundings, exhibiting his extraordinary strength.
Xiang Shaoyun gazed at Wu Feng calmly and said, "It"s not too late for you to leave the ring now. Otherwise, you"ll suffer the same fate as your cousin."
Wu Feng was definitely not weak, but he was not worth anything before Xiang Shaoyun.
"How arrogant. We of the Immortal Road Chamber are not afraid of death!" said Wu Feng as he gathered all his strength into his golden saber. A golden blade rocked the heavens as a domineering energy saber slashed toward Xiang Shaoyun.
That slash contained the essence of Wu Feng"s cultivation, an attack that had reached the level of returning complexity to simplicity. With one slash, s.p.a.ce collapsed as the unstoppable slash advanced with a might that could kill even Great Saints. The crowd around the ring was alarmed.
All of them could sense how scary the attack was. They were confident none of them would be able to survive it. They became curious if the youth before Wu Feng could resist that slash. Just as the slash neared Xiang Shaoyun"s head, he casually lifted his hand to catch the blade.
The crowd seemed shocked at his suicidal action. And yet when the slash landed, it was actually caught firmly in Xiang Shaoyun"s hand. Wu Feng"s eyes flickered as he finally realized that he had provoked an opponent he couldn"t defeat.
Boom!
Before Wu Feng could retreat, Xiang Shaoyun shattered the blade with his grip. A violent force was transmitted through the blade to Wu Feng"s body, sending him flying away while spewing blood from his mouth. Next, Xiang Shaoyun dashed forth and stepped on Wu Feng"s chest, stomping his torso into pieces. Just like that, a top-tier Saint had perished before everyone"s eyes.
Xiang Shaoyun did not intend to kill Wu Feng, but Wu Feng had tested his patience again and again. Furthermore, it was clear Wu Feng wanted him dead. He was definitely not going to spare such an opponent.
Sounds of discussion broke out among the crowd.
"Who is this person? Not even the Immortal Road Chamber members were spared. He"s way too brave."
"I heard the Dragon Phoenix Academy disciples calling him overlord earlier. Is he the young king among Saints, Xiang Shaoyun?"
"That can"t be the case, right? The first-ranked expert on the Saintly Forest Ranking? It is rumored that he isn"t even 100 years old. How can he be so strong?"
"It"s definitely Xiang Shaoyun. I saw his portrait before. I did not expect him to be so gutsy. The Immortal Road Chamber is different from an ordinary organization."
...
Tang Longfei and the rest wore unsightly expressions when they realized that Xiang Shaoyun had just killed two members of the Immortal Road Chamber.
"I seem to have created big trouble for the overlord," muttered Tang Longfei.
"It"s my fault," said Zhong Moli grimly.
"Don"t worry. At worst, I"ll just hand my life over to them," said Tang Longfei solemnly.
Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to leave the ring, a disturbance occurred in the crowd as a group of people pushed the crowd aside and appeared before the ring. They were dressed in different outfits, but all of them wore the same emblem on their chest. The emblem contained the ancient character for the word "Immortal."
The Immortal Road Chamber was one of the strongest organizations in existence. A decent number of them had come to the city to partic.i.p.ate in the Heaven Battling Ranking Compet.i.tion. Among them, the young Saints were the leading figures. The group of more than 10 before the ring was one of the groups from the Immortal Road Chamber.
Their leader had an extraordinary temperament. Clad in blue armor, a snake-shaped belt, and a pair of boots decorated with precious blue stones, he seemed to glow in blue. The blue further added to his charm.
The Great Han Dynasty"s third princess, Liu Jiaohong, was by his side. She was looking at the young man with tender emotions in her eyes. Even someone blind could see how she felt toward him.
"Xiang Shaoyun, how audacious of you. You dare kill the members of our Immortal Road Chamber? Don"t think that you can disregard us just because you"re the disciple of a lord guardian," berated someone from the group.
Xiang Shaoyun frowned slightly but ignored him. When Xiang Shaoyun swept his gaze over, he noticed the blue-haired youth who was already a Great Saint beside Liu Jiaohong. Moreover, he did not seem like a regular Great Saint. His strength was probably no weaker than Liu Qingchen"s from several years ago.
The person who had spoken donned an ugly expression when he noticed that he was being ignored. He spoke again, "Xiang Shaoyun, do you really disrespect our Immortal Road Chamber that much?"
"Too noisy," said Xiang Shaoyun, shooting him a glare.
Instantly, the person felt a ferocious aura slam into him. The boundless aura seemed capable of swallowing him whole up. He hurriedly retreated in fear. If someone hadn"t supported him from behind, he would have fallen onto the ground.
At this time, Liu Jiaohong stepped forth and said, "Xiang Shaoyun, Young Master Lan is here. Do not be too arrogant!"
Xiang Shaoyun did not want to waste too much time with them. He said, "If anyone is unhappy, get in the ring. Otherwise, stop wasting your breath."
"How impudent. Let me remove some of your arrogance," said a peak Saint from the group.
The peak Saint was even stronger than Wu Feng. Moreover, his trump cards were also far stronger than Wu Feng"s. The moment he stepped into the ring, his aura surged as he swung his great saint weapon at Xiang Shaoyun.
Seven Wild Baleful Slas.h.!.+
Instantly, seven pythons appeared and swept toward Xiang Shaoyun, carrying a might that no ordinary Great Saint would dare to resist.
