I Am Overlord

Chapter 581: Burning Anger

The shout came from none other than Xiang Shaoyun. After the grand elders brought him out of the Back Graveyard, they hadn't accepted him as a disciple. Instead, they merely got Xiao Wei to send him to the core disciples' residential area.

No matter what, Xiang Shaoyun was still a special-recruit disciple. Even if he hadn't been taken as anyone's personal disciple, he still possessed his own villa. In any case, the grand elders all knew that the gravekeeper elder had personally instructed Xiang Shaoyun. They would not dare to recklessly do anything to him after that.

On the way to the residential area, Xiang Shaoyun had naturally asked about Tang Longfei, Lady Shura, and the others. It had been a year since they joined the academy. He was getting impatient to find out how everyone was doing. He was mostly worried that his issue would implicate them.

If Xiang Shaoyun had asked about other disciples, Xiao Wei might not know anything. After all, it was not like he could keep tabs on everything going on in the academy. But that was not the case for Tang Longfei, Lady Shura, and company. He had been paying attention to them for Xiang Shaoyun's sake.

After hearing about Tang Longfei and Lady Shura, and after learning that Lady Shura was residing in the core disciples' residential area, Xiang Shaoyun came over with Xiao Wei. When he was near, he sensed that something had happened at Lady Shura's villa and quickly rushed over with Xiao Wei. He had not expected that the first thing he saw after being released was the sight of his three women being bullied. It made him furious.

When Xiang Shaoyun's voice rang out, both Yi Xuan and Yue Huangquan looked over. The only thing they felt was a gust of wind blowing at them as a figure suddenly appeared before them. At the sight of the newcomer, their pupils constricted. They had an extremely deep impression of the person before them.

It was Xiang Shaoyun, the person who had been thrown into the Back Graveyard right after joining the academy. One could say that Xiang Shaoyun had created a record time of how long it took for one to be sent to the Back Graveyard after joining. Everyone believed that Xiang Shaoyun would not be able to leave, and even if he managed to leave, he would be as good as crippled.

However, Xiang Shaoyun seemed to have left the Back Graveyard intact, and his aura seemed even more impressive than before. The realization caused their confidence to waver. Even so, they weren't actually afraid of him. After all, Xiang Shaoyun was only someone with a great physique. It did not necessarily mean that his current combat prowess was higher than theirs.

"Move your dirty hands away from them or all of you can die," said Xiang Shaoyun, his eyes filled with rage.

"What boastful words! Who do you think you are? Shen Jiang, go teach him a lesson. Let him understand how he should behave around us," said Yi Xuan toward a young man beside him.

That young man was slightly weaker than Yi Xuan, but he was still a War Emperor with a draconic aura 95 percent complete. He was basically almost a Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. Hearing Yi Xuan's command, Shen Jiang wasted no time talking. He directly charged Xiang Shaoyun.

Torrential River!

The moment he attacked, Shen Jiang used his full power. A blue radiance shone brightly from his body as he brandished his polearm, sending waves of blue energy crashing down toward Xiang Shaoyun like a torrential river. Not a single person capable of joining the Dragon Phoenix Academy was a pushover.

Shen Jiang's combat prowess was no weaker than Tang Longfei's from a year ago. In fact, he seemed considerably stronger than that. He was two years younger than Tang Longfei, and that was the main reason why he was still not an Emperor. It could be concluded that Shen Jiang and Tang Longfei were equally matched in terms of talent, and the only gap between the two was the time in which both had cultivated.

A year ago, such strength was enough to pose a tiny threat to Xiang Shaoyun. But threatening him now with such combat strength was nothing more than a dream. When Shen Jiang's attack was about to land, Xiang Shaoyun's body twisted slightly, and he completely avoided the attack. His hand shot forth like a bolt of lightning and grabbed Shen Jiang's shoulder. His fingers dug deep into Shen Jiang's flesh as he started ripping the arm off.

"AHHH!"

Shen Jiang wailed like a pig being slaughtered as his arm was ripped off his shoulder. Blood sprayed everywhere, presenting a dreadful sight. Xiang Shaoyun did not stop at that. He tossed the severed arm away and gave Shen Jiang, who was in massive pain, a kick.

Like a dog, Shen Jiang was sent flying and crashed heavily far away. Yi Xuan, Yue Huangquan, and the others were greatly shocked. They had not imagined that Shen Jiang would be crippled with a single attack. Sure, they were also capable of that, but they wouldn't dare attack a fellow disciple in the academy so ruthlessly.

"I will give you a chance to sever one arm each and I will let this matter rest. Otherwise, I will personally take your arms," said Xiang Shaoyun as he coldly swept his eyes over them.

He had been holding his temper in for an entire year. The only thing he had done was reveal his talent so the academy would pay attention in nurturing him, but he had ended up being thrown into the Back Graveyard instead. He even nearly got himself killed there! Although the gravekeeper elder had appeared to give him some pointers, he was still furious.

Yi Xuan and Yue Huangquan were basically perfect targets for him to vent his anger. They were simply unlucky. Of course, they wouldn't submit just like that.

"Xiang Shaoyun, for harming a fellow disciple like that, the enforcers will not spare you! Kneel down and submit. Perhaps we will consider begging for leniency on your behalf then," said Yi Xuan.

Xiang Shaoyun shot him a glance and without saying anything, vanished into thin air. Yi Xuan cultivated the power of wind and had sharp senses on top of incredible speed. However, he didn't even notice anything before Xiang Shaoyun reappeared behind him. Unfortunately, it was too late for him to do anything. Without hesitation, Xiang Shaoyun landed a heavy punch on his back.

A first-stage Emperor like Yi Xuan was sent flying and coughing blood. As he was still holding onto the Han Clan sisters, they were dragged along as he flew. However, the Han Clan sisters weren't harmed. They quickly took the chance to break free and retreated to the side. After freeing the sisters, Xiang Shaoyun did not waste any time chasing after Yi Xuan. Instead, he charged Yue Huangquan.

Overlord's Nine Nether Steps!

He utilized the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps with the power of wind, reaching a speed that made him seem like an undetectable phantom. Yue Huangquan was a crafty person. He immediately placed a weapon at Lady Shura's throat and threatened, "If you dare touch me, I will kill—"

Before he could finish his sentence, his arm was assaulted by numbness, and he dropped the sword in his hand. He had been struck by Xiang Shaoyun's Vicious Prison Finger. Instead of approaching Yue Huangquan, Xiang Shaoyun moved to a different position and attacked from a different angle, directly releasing the weapon in Yue Huangquan's hand, ingeniously resolving Lady Shura's crisis.
