I Am Overlord Chapter 862

Chapter 862: The Prodigies Snatching the Treasures

The battle in the cave was extremely intense, with attacks flying everywhere. A moment of carelessness would cause one to be injured. The disciples here were the elites of the Dragon Phoenix Academy. Each of them possessed the combat strength of a peak Emperor, if not a Sovereign’s. With high-level weapons in hand, they fought relentlessly.

The number one disciple of the Dragon Phoenix Academy, Baili Yixiao, seemed to be effortlessly moving amid the Devil Sovereigns with a sword in his hand. His figure drifted about, and it was as though none of the Devil Sovereigns could land a hit. These Devil Sovereigns were, after all, puppets incapable of unleashing a Devil Sovereign’s true power. Thus, it wasn’t easy for them to harm Baili Yixiao.

Baili Yixiao himself had exceedingly impressive swordsmanship, having reached the second stage of sword intent, the sword steering stage. He could manipulate his sword like an extension of his arm, landing hit after hit on the Devil Sovereigns that tried to attack him, causing them to fall around him. He even directly slashed some of them into pieces.

He quickly grabbed the first sword he encountered in the cave. One could say that he was the first among the disciples present to obtain a treasure. Even Xiang Shaoyun was much slower than him. 

As for Zhan Wushuang, he was the second to obtain a treasure.

Zhan Wushuang was known as the Fist Emperor. With his fists, he could smash everything apart. He wore a pair of extraordinary gloves, granting him the ability to face the Devil Sovereign puppets head on without being forced onto his back foot. He was akin to a humanoid dragon that was shockingly domineering. With his fists, he punched a way through, obtaining some saint-grade spring water.

Lei Bao from the local faction was no less eye-catching than them. Explosive lightning bolts erupted from his body endlessly, blasting all the Devil Sovereigns in his way before he, too, obtained a treasure.

As for Yu Ziyang, he transformed into a burning sun that burned everything with a raging flame, creating a path before him. He snatched a treasure for himself.

Huang Tianji was also doing well. As a prince, he was equipped with excellent weapons and armor. Coupled with his Royal War Aura, he was able to obtain a treasure.

The others were still having a hard time against the Devil Sovereigns. For example, Wang Yufeng, the seventh-stage Emperor who was famed for his defensive prowess, had been seriously injured and forced to withdraw from the battleground.

Nobody bothered going for the five treasures at the middle of the cave because they knew they had to face the dragon and phoenix phantoms to obtain them. The two phantoms were as powerful as late-stage Sovereigns. Even if they merely existed as phantoms, they were not opponents these disciples could take down alone.

The latecomers, such as Yu Caidie, Ouyang Chuanqi, Xiao Xie, and Ye Linshan, also demonstrated their full strength as they fought for the remaining treasures.

At this time, Xiang Shaoyun had reached the second treasure he was aiming for. But right as he was about to grab it, someone arrived to fight over it, greatly infuriating him. That person was none other than the buff Long Shi from the Sword Society.

He wielded a massive sword that was clearly no ordinary weapon. Before arriving, when he saw that Xiang Shaoyun was about to grab the treasure, he actually swung his sword at Xiang Shaoyun. If Xiang Shaoyun had reacted any slower, the sword would have opened a wound on his back. 

Xiang Shaoyun suppressed his fury and moved at his top speed, planning to snatch the treasure before doing anything else. But at that time, a Devil Sovereign appeared in his way and stopped him.

After using his footwork to move past the Devil Sovereign, he found Long Shi taking the opportunity to reach for the treasure.

“Trying to steal from me? Not so easy!” Xiang Shaoyun roared as he unleashed a fiery claw forward, ripping Long Shi’s palm energy apart. He then used Phantom Shift to appear beside the treasure and took it for himself.

While he was putting the treasure away, Long Shi swung his sword again. A massive sword was brought down from above, coming at such force that the air around it cracked. It was as if a mountain was collapsing right above his head, something no ordinary person could withstand.

Baili Yixiao’s sword mainly focused on the concept of soft and flexible attacks. On the other hand, Long Shi’s sword worked on pure brute strength, similar to how Zhan Wushuang used his fists.

Xiang Shaoyun could sense the power behind the sword. He would be disadvantaged if he faced it head on, but he had no time to dodge, as he had been slightly delayed when putting the treasure away. He had to protect himself by erecting his strongest energy barrier before diving to the side.

Bang!

A heavy strike landed on Xiang Shaoyun’s shoulder, and cracks appeared on the Goldplate he had erected around him. Before the sword energy could penetrate his body, his Radiant Saint Armor blocked it out. Thus, he had not suffered any damage.

Blood would have flowed if it wasn’t for the Radiant Saint Armor. Xiang Shaoyun was surprised by Long Shi’s might. He quickly used his footwork to widen the distance between them.

However, Long Shi pushed on after his attack struck. He showed no quarter and unleashed a barrage of merciless attacks at Xiang Shaoyun, closing all routes of escape. It was as though he was aiming for Xiang Shaoyun’s life.

Long Shi’s persistence caught Xiang Shaoyun by surprise, and he decided to no longer hold back. After several evasive maneuvers, his Radiant Saint Sword lashed out. The saint sword was far more powerful than any Emperor, possessing an incomparably terrifying sharpness.

When Long Shi sensed the might of the sword, he swiftly dodged, causing the sword to instead strike a pursuing Devil Sovereign and leave a dreadful wound on it. The Devil Sovereign had almost been sliced into two.

“You dare attack me? I’ll kill you!” Xiang Shaoyun roared. Prepared to take his revenge, Xiang Shaoyun was about to continue attacking.

When Long Shi saw Xiang Shaoyun’s fury and realized that he was wielding an excellent sword, he decisively dashed away in a different direction. Xiang Shaoyun was about to give chase when he noticed that Han Chenfei was in danger.

While she was trying to grab her first treasure, Huang Tianji had interfered. The two were currently engaged in an intense battle. Xiang Shaoyun was not too far away from them, so he dashed over without hesitation.

Prior to this, Han Chenfei had been injured by a Devil Sovereign. She was able to arrive before this treasure after much difficulty, but Huang Tianji was here to make things difficult for her and nearly caused her to die. When she sensed his killing intent, she realized that his love toward her had transformed into hate.

After an intense battle with him coupled with the Devil Sovereigns’ relentless attacks, Han Chenfei was barely hanging on.

Am I going to withdraw just like this? thought Han Chenfei, her heart filled with unwillingness.
