I Am Overlord

Chapter 1339: Instant Tempo

Chapter 1339: Instant Tempo

Gu Ming was infuriated by the insult. At Xiang Shaoyun's command, Money charged forward. He had grown nicely, his body reaching about a kilometer in length. With his purple scales, single horn, and draconic claws, he looked like an actual dragon from far away. As his aura burst out, he displayed a strength comparable to a peak Demon Sovereign.

Countless lightning bolts were sent toward Gu Ming.

Gu Ming did not do anything. Instead, a follower of his charged toward Money with a club in hand. His follower, a peak Sovereign, was no pushover. In fact, nobody qualified to enter the Saintforce Realm would be a pushover.

An intense battle broke out between Money and the follower. After breaking through into seventh-stage Demon Sovereign Realm, Money was able to fight against peak Sovereigns with his lightning power. With his current strength, he could easily crush those with the same cultivation level.

Xiang Shaoyun seemed unsatisfied with Money's performance and said, "Money, if you keep messing around, you might as well sit there and die."

He had a feeling that Money was still holding back. As someone with the bloodlines of the true dragons and the celestial horned dragonsnakes, Money should have a much higher combat strength. Upon hearing Xiang Shaoyun's words, Money finally used his true strength. A terrifying draconic roar came out of his mouth.

Roar!

The peak Sovereign was momentarily stunned. Even his blood started stirring within his body. Money then shot forth like a bolt of lightning and swept his tail at the peak Sovereign. Unable to react in time, the peak Sovereign was sent flying while spewing blood.

"Impudent!" The two other followers beside Gu Ming roared and charged forth.

They attacked Money at the same time, displaying their strength as pseudo-Saints. Instantly, Money was faced with a difficult battle.

"Overlord, do we help?" asked Yu Caidie in a worried manner.

"It's fine. He has been slacking a lot. It's time for him to get some training," said Xiang Shaoyun as he shook his head.

Money was no ordinary demonic beast. His foundations were extremely solid. Xiang Shaoyun was confident Money would be fine. He only hoped that this tempering would allow Money to grow even more.

"Xiang Shaoyun, come fight me if you're a man," challenged Gu Ming as he pointed his golden spear at Xiang Shaoyun.

"It's not up to you to decide if I'm a man. It's up to my women," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smirk.

The two women beside him blushed. Gu Ming was so furious he started roaring before stabbing his golden spear at Xiang Shaoyun.

Golden Rainbow!

The moment he attacked, he used a saint-grade technique, showcasing his prowess as a top-20 participant in the Devil Hunting Expedition. A golden beam shot out of his spear and flew through the air with a boundlessly destructive might that caused space itself to tear and warp.

"You're courting death, Gu Ming!" Devil Concubine roared furiously.

"Just stand aside," said Xiang Shaoyun. He gently pushed the two women away before stepping forth with the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps.

Gu Ming's attack crashed down into Xiang Shaoyun's previous position, smashing through the thick snow. Countless snowflakes were flung this way and that as the terrifying attack wreaked destruction on the ground.

Xiang Shaoyun's intention was to establish his dominance and not waste too much time with Gu Ming. Using his hand as a sword, he nonchalantly slashed at Gu Ming. The slash was slow, yet it seemed to carry the power of a certain natural law.

Instant Tempo!

For this attack, Xiang Shaoyun utilized the dao of time, which he rarely used. With one slash, time seemed to pause. Everyone around him also stopped thinking, including Gu Ming.

The delay only lasted for a split second, but that was more than enough for Xiang Shaoyun to deal with Gu Ming. Just as he was about to end Gu Ming's life, he sensed the aura of a Heaven Battling Realm expert lock onto him. Upon sensing that, he shifted the trajectory of his slash and struck Gu Ming's shoulder instead.

"Ahhh!"

Before Gu Ming even knew what had happened, an intense pain erupted from his shoulder and his blood sprayed out. He had been injured.

"Bastard! I won't stop until you're dead!" Gu Ming roared furiously.

"Return, young master. You're not his match," transmitted a Gu Society Saint hidden within the void.

"Dream on! I haven't even used my true strength!" Gu Ming replied resentfully.

"If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have suffered a mere shoulder injury. Just wait until you reach the Heaven Battling Realm before taking your revenge," said the Saint.

Gu Ming hesitated slightly before glaring at Xiang Shaoyun, "After leaving the Saintforce Realm, I'll have a fight to the death with you!"

He then left with his followers. Money was in the midst of a fight and wasn't willing to allow his opponent to escape. If Xiang Shaoyun hadn't called him back, he would have given chase.

The opposing side had a Saint. Xiang Shaoyun did not wish to escalate the situation for now, so he happily allowed them to retreat. In any case, he had achieved his goal of establishing his dominance.

Meanwhile, Xiang Feidian and Xiang Nantian were still engaged in an intense battle. As Xiang Keren and Xiang Chenxi advanced, more people stepped forth to help Xiang Nantian. A chaotic battle was ongoing between the two parties.

But with Gu Ming's withdrawal, Xiang Nantian did not want to continue the fight. His original intention was to make use of the chaos and create some trouble for Xiang Shaoyun. But upon seeing how strong Xiang Shaoyun's people were, he had decided to retreat as well.

"You think you can come and leave as you wish?" said Xiang Shaoyun coldly when he noticed Xiang Nantian's intentions. He transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot forth.

With his speed, nobody could see his movements clearly. Xiang Nantian and his people sensed the incoming danger and entered a defensive position, preventing Xiang Shaoyun from killing them off.

Unfortunately for them, Xiang Shaoyun once again utilized the dao of time. With Instant Tempo, they were all stunned for a split second. Xiang Shaoyun made use of the opening and slashed his finger toward their necks.

Whoosh!

Instantly, three heads were sent flying into the air as three headless corpses collapsed onto the ground. Gu Ming, still in the midst of retreating, witnessed their deaths. He felt a chill creep up his spine, finally realizing how close he had been to death.
