I Am Overlord

Chapter 745: Killing Di Lin

Xiang Shaoyun calmly regarded Di Lin, who had swallowed an Emperor Eruption Pill. Xiang Shaoyun showed no panic, and the only emotion he revealed was his thick killing intent.

Regardless of what trick you play, you won't be able to change anything, thought Xiang Shaoyun confidently.

After absorbing the power of the Emperor Eruption Pill, Di Lin's cultivation realm soared to the seventh stage, an increase of two stages. His combat prowess also increased by several times.

A thick clump of flame surrounded Di Lin as he held a fiery sword in his hand. Eyes bloodshot, he roared, "Xiang Shaoyun, you should be happy to have lived this long as trash. Time for you to join your father in death!"

After speaking, he immediately swung his sword, sending out numerous sword energies. They sealed all the possible escape routes around Xiang Shaoyun. Di Lin was akin to a dazzling sun that shone so brightly the crowd was having a hard time keeping their eyes open.

Each sword energy he sent out possessed a peak Emperor's might. In fact, even a regular peak Emperor would not be able to unleash such a mighty attack. His combat prowess was now infinitely near a Sovereign's.

When the crowd sensed his attack's might, they quickly retreated in panic, fearful that the barrier around the ring would crumble under the intensity of the attack.

Even the Overlord Legion members started to worry for Xiang Shaoyun. They had no confidence they could survive a concentrated net of swords. Even if they could, they would probably be half dead.

Perhaps only the top 10 freaks could escape this sword net unscathed. Could Xiang Shaoyun escape, too? Soon, they would know the answer.

With the gift of instincts, Xiang Shaoyun spotted the openings of the sword net. Like a gust of wind, he drifted through the cracks between the swords as he narrowly dodged all the sharp attacks. Even so, the aura of the sword energies still caused him immense pain.

Inwardly, he thought, This fellow won't be able to last long after taking a forbidden pill. So long as I keep dodging his attacks with my speed, I will be able to outlast him. But my dear brother who has grown up with me, how can I allow you to die in such a manner? You will need to suffer a defeat you yourself can't deny.

Relying on his insane speed, Xiang Shaoyun freed himself from the net of swords. It was something even Di Lin himself had not expected. Xiang Shaoyun was already as fast as a Sovereign, which was something only a few people knew.

Changing Weathers!

River of Corpses!

Approaching Di Lin, Xiang Shaoyun unhesitatingly unleashed the different stances of the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique, powering his attacks with all the lightning energy in him to create yet another bombardment of silver lightning.

Di Lin showed no fear toward the silver lightning bolts. Swinging his fiery sword repeatedly, he destroyed the incoming attacks and even managed to force Xiang Shaoyun to back off.

"Xiang Shaoyun, you coward. Take an attack from me if you have the guts." Di Lin knew very well he couldn't maintain this state for long, so he was forced to provoke Xiang Shaoyun with his words.

Xiang Shaoyun countered, "You took a forbidden pill and still want me to fight you head on? Are you dumb?"

Yes, he wanted to kill Di Lin fair and square. But he wasn't stupid enough to face Di Lin head on like this. That wasn't even worth trying.

Xiang Shaoyun's words infuriated Di Lin, and he used his trump card yet again, creating a net of purple swords as he attempted to trap Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun pushed his gift of instincts to the limits and found a tiny opening from the energy flow around Di Lin. Like a fish, he dove through that opening before jabbing his finger at Di Lin.

Vicious Prison Finger!

This technique was weaker than the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique, but it could be surprisingly effective in certain situations. As the beam struck Di Lin, he was momentarily paralyzed and disrupted from his follow-up attacks.

Xiang Shaoyun took the chance to muster his soul power and roared, "Di Lin, do you admit your crime of betrayal?"

The roar was powered by the Tiger's Roar, Xiang Shaoyun's unrivaled presence, and the hatred he had accumulated over the years. The roar pounded Di Lin's heart, causing Di Lin to tremble.

The two had grown up together, and one could say that he had spent his childhood under Xiang Shaoyun's halo. Back then, he had still viewed Xiang Shaoyun as his young master even though he had despised Xiang Shaoyun for not cultivating.

Because of that, deep inside him, he still feared Xiang Shaoyun in the way a servant feared his master.

The roar was also released together with the pressure of Xiang Shaoyun's filthless soul, causing Di Lin's morale to crumble apart. Di Lin recalled the scenes of him following behind Xiang Shaoyun during their childhood. Slowly but surely, fear rose within him.

And that trace of fear transformed into a fatal opening.

Xiang Shaoyun made use of the slight opening and arrived before Di Lin in a flash. With his saber swinging toward Di Lin's neck, he said, "Die!"

Sphhlt!

The saber swept over, and a head flew up into the sky. A headless corpse collapsed onto the ground, dying the ground and Xiang Shaoyun's face red with blood. At the same moment, a ray of sunlight shone onto Xiang Shaoyun, making him look like a crimson god of murder, causing all who looked at him to feel fear. The people present stared at him, not daring to even breathe.

After a good while, Situ Yan screeched, "Junior brother, junior brother! You bastard! I will avenge my junior brother!"

Like she had gone mad, Situ Yan charged toward the ring. But before she could get far, a specter appeared before her. The specter struck and caused her to faint before quickly carrying her away. As for Di Lin's corpse, the academy would arrange for someone to collect it.

"Xiang Shaoyun!" Di Tong roared with resentment, his eyes bloodshot.

He wanted to charge forth and rip Xiang Shaoyun apart, but he still maintained a trace of rationality. He turned and left silently.

He knew very well that if he did charge forth, he would die. Only by enduring the humiliation would he have a chance to take revenge. After Di Tong left, Xia Yunxi also left in silence. Apart from the slight trace of sorrow in her eyes, she did not show any other emotion.

Meanwhile, chaos befell the Di Alliance. Their leader was dead, and they were now leaderless. The people they had offended in the past would probably start making moves against them. That was especially true for the Overlord Legion, who would probably not spare them.

The Di Alliance members had to think of a way to break free of their current predicament, or their time in the academy would be difficult.

This was the meaning of "winner takes all".
