I Am Overlord - Chapter 1750: Assassination

Chapter 1750: Assassination

Concealed within the void, nobody could detect Xiang Shaoyun. To be precise, it was his devil clone that was hiding within the void. After scouting the area, his main body immediately received the feedback. He then invited Dugu Qiubai to attack with an army of 10,000.

The 10,000 people included the elites in their respective alliances and those who had recently entered the God Realm. As a whole, their alliances had grown much stronger than before.

After all, both Xiang Shaoyun and Dugu Qiubai had taken out the treasures they had obtained from the primal chaos world and shared them with their people. That made them improve enough that they now had the strength to kill plenty of aliens.

Elsewhere, Shi Gong was leading his army of 80,000 against an alien army of 100,000.

Shi Gong was a genius from the Nine Palace Academy. Since he could become one of the top-eight young Gods leading the eight alliances, his combat strength was naturally incredible. He was a peak eighth-stage God only a tiny bit away from the ninth stage. Even so, he was just as strong as a ninth-stage God.

With a sparkling pagoda in his hand, he attacked two ninth-stage alien Gods with all his strength. The nine-layered pagoda was a nine-revolutions weapon. Strand after strand of God Realm energy erupted from it, granting it supremely powerful offensive and defensive capabilities. Both the aliens were having a hard time dealing with it.

Shi Gong was very experienced in combat. Each technique and move he made reached a level where he breathed life into them, granting him an impressive combat prowess. However, the aliens’ abilities were unique and numerous. It wouldn’t be so easy to eliminate them quickly.

If they couldn’t defeat the strongest among the aliens, even winning this battle would be difficult. Fortunately, Shi Gong’s people were also capable cultivators. They were able to keep up with the aliens.

In the group, Jiu Tian was a genius second only to Shi Gong. It was unfortunate that he was only a third-stage God. Although his nine god-grade swords granted him the ability to punch above his class, he still wasn’t strong enough to decide the outcome of the battle. Only if he reached Shi Gong’s level of cultivation would he be able to dictate the battle.

As a whole, the humans were at a disadvantage. After all, the aliens had observed Shi Gong’s group for quite a while before the battle broke out. The aliens came prepared, sending their elites for the task. These elite aliens attacked relentlessly, displaying their impressive combat prowess that caused one human after another to collapse.

If this continued, all of Shi Gong’s people would be killed before he could kill the two ninth-stage alien Gods he was fighting. Left with no choice, he called everyone to retreat. As they retreated, he mustered all his strength and tried to stop the majority of the aliens.

His weapon was worthy of being a nine-revolutions weapon. When he unleashed all its power, it was overwhelmingly powerful. Strand after strand of God Realm energy spread out of the pagoda, instantly turning any alien it touched into a cloud of blood.

“Humans, you won’t be able to survive today!” roared one of the nine-stage alien Gods. He struck Shi Gong with an extremely odd attack, making it difficult for him to continue activating his pagoda. He could no longer stop the other aliens.

Numerous aliens surged forth, sending a swarm of attacks toward the retreating humans. Space itself collapsed. Shi Gong’s people tried their best to defend themselves, but many still died from the numerous explosions. The attacks were too intense for them to withstand.

During their moment of crisis, a series of ferocious attacks came from a different direction. These attacks were all aimed at the aliens, catching them by complete surprise. In the blink of an eye, the wave of energy attacks swallowed thousands of aliens.

“Kill! Don’t spare any of these aliens!” Xiang Shaoyun’s voice rang out.

He had developed the presence of a Godking, a sort of inspiring presence that caused others to obey and clash against the aliens with all their strength. The aliens panicked. They did not expect any human reinforcements, so their army formation sank into chaos. Xiang Shaoyun and Dugu Qiubai took the lead and charged into the midst of the aliens. With every move they made, an alien was killed. They seemed unstoppable.

“I-it’s the unrivaled human that had killed Commander Mao!” shouted an alien.

“This killer is here! How can we be his match? Run!” shouted a different alien.

Xiang Shaoyun had established his fame through combat, and many aliens were aware of his existence. Thus, the aliens instantly lost all courage.

“He’s only one human. What is there to be afraid of? Let me kill him!” said an eighth-stage alien God. He turned into a fireball and shot toward Xiang Shaoyun.

Rolling Flame Star Combustion!

He was a fire cultivator carrying a powerful flame in his body. He had absorbed the essence of the sun, which had granted him the ability to briefly erupt with powerful strength. The moment one was struck by his fireball, one would feel like one was colliding against an entire star. Even a ninth-stage God could not withstand this attack.

One ought to admit that the aliens truly had all sorts of abilities. This attack alone was enough to defeat a majority of the human Gods. The other aliens all watched Xiang Shaoyun attentively, hoping to see his death.

Next, their eyes widened in shock, and fear covered their faces. What had they seen? Xiang Shaoyun did not even bother avoiding the attack. With his bare hand, he punched the fireball. His fist intent bloomed with the might to erase everything in one’s current life, blasting the alien into pieces with a loud rumble.

Xiang Shaoyun’s punch was too scary. He took a step forward, shifting into a palm stance, and captured the scattered flame energy. He then erased the alien’s life force.

“There’s nothing special about these aliens at all,” said Xiang Shaoyun with contempt. He punched repeatedly, each punch akin to a collapsing star. Countless aliens were beaten to a pulp. None of them could be his match.

Meanwhile, Dugu Qiubai also showed no mercy as he killed one alien God after another. The alien Saints weren’t even worth his attention. Shi Gong’s group felt relieved and immediately counterattacked fiercely. Aware that defeat was imminent, the aliens started retreating.

“Hateful humans, just you wait. Our strongest imperial young Gods are already on their way. When they arrive, all of you will die!” shouted an alien furiously.

“It doesn’t matter. I will kill every last one of you who dares to come,” said Xiang Shaoyun. He gathered all his strength on his Primal Inception Saber and swung at the retreating aliens.
