Chapter 455: River of Corpses

Chapter 455: River of Corpses

Xiang Shaoyun had long known that there were several Devil Emperors here. The moment the battle started, he had been paying close attention to Yu Caidie. However, he had failed to notice that there was another devil ant scorpion emperor hiding in the bush. This devil ant scorpion was much stronger than the five that had appeared.

Its sudden attack had come by complete surprise. Since Xiang Shaoyun had been focusing on Yu Caidie, he was able to immediately notice the sneak attack. With his shout, Yu Caidie reacted. Unfortunately, she was too slow and was struck by the devil ant scorpion emperor’s tail.

Sphhlt!

She spat a mouth of blood and crashed heavily into the bush. Xiang Shaoyun had started moving at the same time when he shouted, but he was still not fast enough. He could only watch on as Yu Caidie was struck.

“Ahh! Bastard!” Xiang Shaoyun’s heart ached at the sight of Yu Caidie being hurt. He was instantly infuriated, his fury coming from the depths of his heart. Without a doubt, it was the truest of his current emotions. 

In his fury, his speed further increased. He fully unleashed the power of his Overlord’s Nine Nether Steps, and coupled with his footwork intent, he was moving at a speed comparable to a regular Emperor’s.

The Overlord Skyslaying Saber appeared in his hand. His stars erupted with power, and he drew all his innate purple lightning out of his body. Instantly, a remarkable power converged on his saber as he swung it at the devil ant scorpion emperor.

Rumble! Rumble!

As Xiang Shaoyun attacked, he activated his presence of dragon and tiger. The sky darkened, and 36 silver lightning bolts appeared and rained down on the world below. There were so many because even Money was attacking with him. He knew very well Xiang Shaoyun needed his help.

Of the 36 lightning bolts, half were summoned by Xiang Shaoyun and the other half were summoned by Money. The rain of 36 silver lightning bolts was a spectacular sight to behold. When more than one lightning bolt attacked, the resulting destructiveness was not as simple as one plus one, especially when it came to these unique lightning bolts. Rather, the power of the lightning bolts would be multiplicative, becoming extremely terrifying.

Even the others who were battling not far away were given a fright. An attack like this had already exceeded the power of a King and had reached what an Emperor was capable of. The devil ant scorpion emperor did not try to dodge. Layers of devilish energy covered its body as it took on the 36 bolts of silver lightning.

With a cultivation level of third-stage Devil Emperor Realm, the devil ant scorpion was confident it could block this attack. And it had indeed succeeded in blocking a majority of the lightning bolts. Some had still managed to break through its defense, but they failed to fatally wound it.

After all, the cultivation levels of Xiang Shaoyun and Money were far too low in comparison to this devil ant scorpion. They might be able to seriously harm a regular Emperor with this combination attack, but they were dealing with a third-stage Devil Emperor with an extremely terrifying defense. How could they harm such a foe easily?

Just as the explosions from the lighting bolts were about to settle, Xiang Shaoyun pressed on. He started drawing power from the nine-colored fog in his astral cosmos sea.

Third stance of the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique, River of Corpses.

Instantly, a thick murderous intent surged out of Xiang Shaoyun. He utilized the murderous intent he had accumulated during his trip in the Devil Domain and unleashed the third stance of the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique for the very first time, completely emptying himself of energy.

The latter stances of the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique all required the support of a formidable strength before one could use them. With Xiang Shaoyun’s current strength, the first and second stances should be his limit. He had to wait until he was stronger to use the latter stances. But for the sake of Yu Caidie, he was recklessly pushing himself to use the third stance. From this, one could see that his feelings for her were genuine. 

The moment he used this attack, his surroundings turned gloomy and sinister, as if a battlefield filled with corpses had appeared around him, giving everyone an uncomfortable sensation. The nine-colored fog and innate purple lightning worked together to eliminate all life, leaving a trail of crimson river wherever the saber passed.

The might of this attack had even surpassed the might of the earlier combination attack. This was the absolute limit of what he could accomplish for now. Fear appeared in the eyes of the devil ant scorpion. It quickly erupted with all its strength as it spat a clump of poison out of its mouth. The clump of poison took the form of a sickle shooting forward, and it clashed with Xiang Shaoyun’s attack.

A rumbling explosion erupted as the two attacks collided. The explosion was so massive everyone in the area was shocked, including the Devil Emperors. They could all feel that this was a strength beyond what they could endure.

Feeling threatened, the two parties separated and distanced themselves from the battlefield before looking at the explosion from far away. Before their eyes, the explosion slowly settled, revealing a man with a saber in hand, cutting a devil ant scorpion emperor into two.

This scene was deeply etched into everyone’s minds. Earlier when the devil ant scorpion emperor had snuck an attack on Yu Caidie, the others had thought of fleeing upon sensing the ambusher’s strength.

But now, someone had actually slaughtered the same devil ant scorpion emperor that had scared them enough to consider fleeing. And when they finally got a clear look at who the slayer was, they were completely stunned. It was Xiang Shaoyun, a fourth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator.

“How is this possible?” Di Tong and Su Jun cried out in alarm.

They had already been overestimating Xiang Shaoyun’s strength before this, but it turned out their so-called overestimation was in fact still an underestimation. Everyone there thought the same.

Tang Longfei praised, “What a fine Super War Emperor.”

The term of note here was “Super War Emperor”, not something as simple as a Super King. Generally speaking, the title War Emperor was given to peak Kings capable of battling Emperors. The geniuses here who had formed their draconic aura were all qualified to be called War Emperors.

But a Super War Emperor signified that this person was a King that was already stronger than regular Emperors. In fact, Yu Caidie, who was capable of battling a second-stage Devil Emperor with her strength of peak King Realm, was qualified to be considered a Super War Emperor.

However, Xiang Shaoyun was only a fourth-stage King, yet he was already capable of killing a third-stage Devil Emperor. Not even the title Super War Emperor was enough for someone like him. He had punched way too high above his weight, surpassing several stages, creating a miracle that made him comparable to those ancient geniuses in the legends. 

While everyone was blanking out, the remaining devil ant scorpion emperors suddenly cried out before charging madly at Xiang Shaoyun. Their leader had been killed. How could they not take their revenge?

Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun was falling powerlessly from the sky.
