  Even as she was swinging her axe, she formed a powerful gravity field around her, not giving Xiang Shaoyun any chance to avoid her attacks. Her series of attacks revealed her extraordinary combat prowess.

  Reverse Gravity Field!

  Profundity of wind!

  Xiang Shaoyun naturally wouldn't let her continue to suppress him. He unleashed two different powers consecutively. First, he broke free from An Lulu's gravity field. Then, he unleashed his unmatched speed and dashed toward her.

  Devil Severing Edge!

  Instantly, a storm engulfed An Lulu.

  She had not expected him to be so fast, but she remained calm as she quickly entered a defensive position.

  Unmoving Mountain!

  She seemed to transform into a mountain as a powerful defensive barrier appeared around her, blocking Xiang Shaoyun's attacks. She then swung her axe repeatedly, sending a series of berserk slashes his way.

  However, Xiang Shaoyun drifted about like the wind. The attacks were unable to do anything to him. And thus, the battle reached a deadlock since neither could harm the other.

  That was not something Xiang Shaoyun wanted to see. After all, the Crushing Sky was attacking the Overlord Legion. If he couldn't end this fight soon, the Overlord Legion members would be in danger. He had to end it in the shortest time possible.

  "Regardless of how strong your defense is, I will still defeat you!" Xiang Shaoyun roared as he finally used his strongest attack.

  Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist!

  He no longer held back, and even the nine-colored fog was utilized. Powered by the nine-colored fog, the Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist immediately increased several times in might, reaching a peak Emperor's level.

  An Lulu had long heard that Xiang Shaoyun could fuse nine powers. When she sensed the threat this attack posed for her, she did not dare to hold back. She used the profundity of earth and the might of all eight of her stars to unleash an attack at Xiang Shaoyun.

  Chaotic Mountain Breaking Axe!

  Using all her strength, An Lulu was also able to display combat prowess matching a peak Emperor. She lived up to her status as one of the top 20 experts on the Dragon Phoenix List. Her combat prowess was several stages higher than her actual cultivation level. From this, one could see how much of a freak she was.

  Her cultivation level was three stages higher than Xiang Shaoyun’s, and with her eruption, she was able to fully withstand Xiang Shaoyun's Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist. It was evident she wasn't much weaker than Xiao Xie, whom Xiang Shaoyun had met at the Castle of Darkness.

  That also proved that not a single person on the Dragon Phoenix List got on it by fluke. However, Xiang Shaoyun seemed to have expected this to happen. A crafty smile formed on his face as he suddenly changed his stance.

  Dark Sky Engulfing Imprint!

  It was as if the darkest night was descending, and the darkness enveloped their surroundings. One couldn't even see one's own fingers. Even with her eruption of power, An Lulu was unable to prevent the darkness from swallowing her. She lost her vision and could no longer see Xiang Shaoyun. She started panicking.

  She had fought dark cultivators before. The power of darkness was extremely annoying, but she had never encountered such absolute darkness before. This was simply a domain of darkness capable of forcefully trapping anyone.

  It was an attack Xiang Shaoyun had unleashed with dark origin energy and the profundity of darkness, and it could eliminate all light.

  Xiang Shaoyun had once suffered the torment of darkness, and that was when he had comprehended the profundity of darkness. It was understandable that this move he had obtained after great torture was powerful.

  Within the darkness, Xiang Shaoyun's palms seemed to cover the entire world as he slammed them down toward An Lulu. Her eyes were shut while her defenses were pushed to her limit. She was confident she could block Xiang Shaoyun's attack.

  Alas, she was overconfident this time. The palm attack was boundlessly powerful, and when it struck her, her defenses were only able to prevent part of the damage. The corrosive dark energy penetrated her defenses to reach her flesh.

  Xiang Shaoyun had attacked with both his palms, but to his surprise, his palms had actually landed right on her bosom. Even with the layer of thin armor between them, he could still feel the sheer size and tenderness of that giant pair.

  An unprecedented shame rose within An Lulu. "You...psshttt—"

  A dreadful penetrative force sent her flying, causing her to spit up blood before she could finish her words.

  Her blood was spat right onto Xiang Shaoyun's face, but he did not stop his advance. Turning into a gust of wind, he gave chase and captured An Lulu, who was seriously injured. The power of darkness had corroded and paralyzed her, making it impossible for her to escape him.

  After capturing An Lulu, Xiang Shaoyun shouted, "People of the Crushing Sky, stop right this moment, or I will kill this woman immediately."

  His voice was clear for all to hear and brimmed with murderous intent.

  Soon, someone from the Crushing Sky noticed him and shouted, "Stop, stop now!"

  As the Crushing Sky had been the attacking party, the Overlord Legion people were relieved. They hurriedly withdrew to Xiang Shaoyun's side.

  "Xiang Shaoyun, release Lady An, or we won't spare you!" Huang Xing yelled.

  Chapter 733: Or You Can Prepare to Collect Her Corpse

  To defeat a group of bandits, it was more effective to first defeat the leader. That was a theory everyone knew. Hence, after Xiang Shaoyun captured An Lulu, he was able to achieve his desired result. If he was any slower, all the Overlord Legion members would have probably perished.

  Now, there were no deaths yet. However, about eight of them were badly injured and could no longer fight. If it wasn't for the assistance of a peak Emperor, such as Aikai, the result would have been far worse.

  Xiang Shaoyun held An Lulu by the neck. With the strands of dark energy invading her body endlessly, she was completely helpless. Her eyes were filled with indignation. Never before had she suffered such humiliation. Inwardly, she cursed, I will repay this tenfold in the future!

  Xiang Shaoyun met Huang Xing's gaze and replied with a displeased tone, "Come at me if you have the guts. I really want to see if you can really kill us all."

  When Huang Xing met Xiang Shaoyun's murderous gaze, he instinctively shrank, the words he was about to say stuck in his throat. If Xiang Shaoyun killed An Lulu, as an attendant, Huang Xing would probably have a hard time surviving in the Crushing Sky.

  At this time, someone else stepped forth. "Release Lady An, and we will let you leave."

  The person who spoke was a peak fourth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator, and he was also considered the second strongest in the group. Thus, there was some weight to his words.

  Xiang Shaoyun sneered, "After injuring so many of us, won't it be embarrassing if we just leave like this?"

  "What do you want, then?" asked the fourth-stage Emperor.

  "Hand over half the gleamstar water you have, or this woman will die," said Xiang Shaoyun firmly.

  The faces of the Crushing Sky members sank. They had collected a considerable amount of gleamstar water, but those were their gains after braving through numerous dangers. Asking them to hand out half their gains was the same as feasting on their flesh and blood.

  "Xiang Shaoyun, don't push it. The leader of the Crushing Sky is Zhan Wushuang," threatened the fourth-stage Emperor.

  Zhan Wushuang was a name that resounded throughout the Dragon Phoenix Academy. He was as famous as Baili Yixiao. Nobody dared to disrespect him. The fourth-stage Emperor was hoping Zhan Wushuang's name would be enough to scare Xiang Shaoyun off and make him give up on his excessive request.

  "What about Zhan Wushuang? Even if he is here in person, my demand will not change," said Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly.

  His words caused the people from the Crushing Sky to rage. All of them had deep respect for Zhan Wushuang. Since Xiang Sh
aoyun dared to look down on Zhan Wushuang, it only meant that he was looking down on the entirety of the Crushing Sky. The Crushing Sky members stirred, and some demanded that they immediately kill Xiang Shaoyun and his men.

  On the other hand, Tang Longfei was getting anxious as he used voice transmission, "Shaoyun, we should quit while we're ahead. We can't provoke Zhan Wushuang."

  However, Xiang Shaoyun completely ignored him and slapped An Lulu.

  Pa!

  He did not hold back and left a red palm print on An Lulu's face, causing her face to swell. The Crushing Sky was completely stupefied. They had not imagined that Xiang Shaoyun would really attack, and they started growing nervous.

  An Lulu was famous for her bad temper. If she survived, she would definitely seek revenge on Xiang Shaoyun. But if they angered Xiang Shaoyun and caused her to suffer, she would not spare them either.

  Thus, the fourth-stage Emperor hurriedly said anxiously, "Calm down, calm down. We can talk it out."

  "I'm giving you one last chance. Hand over half your gleamstar water, or you can prepare to collect her corpse," said Xiang Shaoyun coldly.

  He tightened his grip, causing An Lulu to choke for breath while her eyes started rolling over. It was evident Xiang Shaoyun was really prepared to kill and wasn't affected by his captive's beauty.

  "Quick, everyone, hand over half your gleamstar water," hastily commanded the fourth-stage Emperor.

  An Lulu had extremely high status in the Crushing Sky, and Zhan Wushuang trusted her highly. If something bad happened to her, all of them would suffer. Some of them started taking out their gleamstar water unhappily.

  Sure enough, the Crushing Sky people had gotten great harvests. Each of them had taken out no less than three drops of gleamstar water. The people from the Overlord Legion were gulping endlessly, thinking of how they were becoming rich just by extorting the Crushing Sky.

  Xiang Shaoyun sent Aikai to collect the gleamstar water. At the same time, he lessened the strength of his grip on An Lulu's neck, allowing her to breathe.

  "Take out all your gleamstar water," Xiang Shaoyun said to An Lulu.

  An Lulu had just stabilized her breath and had yet to recover her mental state. When she heard Xiang Shaoyun's demand, fury raged within her. And due to her chaotic blood circulation, she spat up blood once again. One could say that she was spitting blood from anger!

  "Hmph. Don't pretend to be dead. You had snatched the gleamstar water that should have belonged to the Overlord Legion. I am merely asking you to return what you stole," said Xiang Shaoyun coldly.

  An Lulu felt extremely humiliated, wishing for nothing more than to tear Xiang Shaoyun apart alive. Unfortunately, her life was in his hands, and she was not qualified to talk terms with him. Without hesitation, she took out one-third of the gleamstar water she had on her. The portions she took out were nicely stored in bottles. There were dozens of drops in total.

  After taking them all, Xiang Shaoyun said, "Trying to dismiss me with just this? Do you think I'm stupid?"

  An Lulu's eyes were filled with anger, but she could only take out another third of what she had.

  "Th-this is all I have. If you don't believe me, just kill me!" said An Lulu in advance to prevent Xiang Shaoyun from continuing to extort her.

  Xiang Shaoyun decided to quit while ahead and said to Tang Longfei, "Big Brother Tang, you guys leave first. Don't wait for me."

  He then handed over the gleamstar water he had gotten from the Crushing Sky members.

  Tang Longfei nodded and said, "Overlord, take care." He then turned and said to the Overlord Legion, "Let's leave now."

  And just like that, the Overlord Legion left without any hesitation. They firmly believed that their overlord would be able to leave safely. As for the Crushing Sky, they could only watch as the Overlord Legion left. Despite their unsightly expressions, none dared to do anything. Finally, Xiang Shaoyun tossed An Lulu over to them when Tang Longfei and the others were gone.

  The fourth-stage Emperor quickly caught An Lulu before saying, "Everyone, work together and kill him!"

  At his command, all the people from the Crushing Sky attacked.

  Chapter 734: Revenge Is Here

  A massive amount of attacks rained down. Even a peak Emperor would have to flee facing these attacks. Naturally, Xiang Shaoyun forced himself to withstand them. Like a gust of wind, he drifted backward while speaking tough words, "Remember what you did today. In the future, the Overlord Legion will repay you."

  He knew very well the Overlord Legion needed to continue growing. They also needed to recruit more powerful geniuses to hold the fort. Otherwise, everyone would think they were weaklings that could be bullied.

  The Crushing Sky was not willing to let him go. They pursued and attacked him unrelentingly. However, Xiang Shaoyun was too fast. If he wanted to leave, they wouldn't be able to stop him. Just like that, he slipped away right before their eyes.

  After catching her breath, An Lulu ignored her injuries and shouted in the direction Xiang Shaoyun had fled, "Xiang Shaoyun, I won't spare you! Just you wait!"

  The resentment-filled voice resounded everywhere. After fleeing from them, Xiang Shaoyun did not leave the restricted space immediately. It was not that he did not want to leave but that the direction in which he escaped was not the direction of the exit. He had to find a different way out.

  Naturally, he also wanted to try searching for more gleamstar water. After all, nobody would hate having too much gleamstar water. Now that he was traveling all alone, Xiang Shaoyun was much more at ease.

  The chaotic force fields couldn't do much to him. Not even the horned shell monsters posed him any threat. He could also preemptively detect any danger he couldn't withstand and take a detour.

  In such a manner, he traveled for three days. In his travels, he also encountered several other factions. However, they had no conflicts because he kept a distance from them.

  Perhaps it was due to the passage of time, but the restricted space was becoming more and more unstable. The power of the force fields was also becoming increasingly terrifying. Any place could explode at any moment.

  On the fourth day, he encountered the group led by Shang Jifeng. They were able to preserve much of their manpower, but they had been rather unlucky, as they had not managed to obtain many gains yet.

  Xiang Shaoyun was prepared to bring them away. He even told them that he already had enough gleamstar water to share with everyone. They were greatly pleased and no longer bothered staying. Listening to Xiang Shaoyun, they started leaving.

  Xiang Shaoyun took the lead and constantly scouted ahead as he sighed inwardly, I'm afraid this place will be completely destroyed in less than five days.

  He increased his speed and reminded everyone to focus. He also told them they couldn't stay here any longer. Shortly after, they discovered a large-scale battle happening not far ahead.

  Xiang Shaoyun was the first to sense what was going on. It turned out the Glacier Palace people were fighting some non-humans. As the Glacier Palace was lacking in numbers, they were suppressed by the non-humans, who had the numerical superiority. There were already a few deaths among the humans, and the others of them had suffered injuries of differing degrees.

  With a wave of his hand, Xiang Shaoyun commanded, "Go, back up the Glacier Palace."

  He took the lead and charged, rapidly arriving behind a non-human. He killed his target mercilessly.

  "With this overlord here, you non-humans may no longer bully my fellow disciples!" Xiang Shaoyun roared as he charged into the midst of the battlefield while activating the profundity of powers.

  The profundity of powers allowed one to manipulate the powers in a godly fashion, enhancing the destructiveness of one's attack. The moment Xiang Shaoyun attacked, he sowed chaos among the non-humans.

  The people from the Overlord Legion then arrived. With their arrival, the non-humans lost all their advantage and were forced to retreat gloomily. The leader of this Glacier Palace
group was not Han Chenfei. Rather, it was a different disciple called He Pai, a third-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. He Pai had long known about the secret alliance between the Overlord Legion and the Glacier Palace. Even so, he still felt great gratitude for the help.

  "Alright, now is not the time to converse. Leave with me. This place will collapse soon," Xiang Shaoyun said.

  He Pai nodded. "Ok. We meant to leave as well."

  And just like that, more than 10 people joined Xiang Shaoyun's group. He thought he could leave smoothly, but near the exit, he encountered Ouyang Chuanqi, who was similarly trying to leave. He brought with him bad news.

  "A group from your Overlord Legion was trapped by the Di Alliance. If you don't help them, I'm afraid things will end very badly for them," said Ouyang Chuanqi.

  Xiang Shaoyun's face turned ghastly. He had been expecting the Di Alliance to do something, and now, they had finally made their move. They were trapping his subordinates, but he was their actual target.

  Di Lin, let us end this once and for all in here, thought Xiang Shaoyun inwardly.

  Just as he brought his men to help the trapped group, he encountered Li Haonan, who was escaping with severe injuries.

  "Li Haonan, what happened to you guys exactly?" Xiang Shaoyun asked.

  "Overlord, the Di Alliance ambushed us and trapped our brothers. I was sent to look for you. They said that you could only go alone. Otherwise, they will kill all our brothers," said Li Haonan weakly.

  "Overlord, it looks like the Di Alliance is not going to give up on you," said Shang Jifeng with a frown.

  "Um. I have been their target all along. Leave. Let me go see what they have in plan," said Xiang Shaoyun decisively.

  "Overlord, we can't allow that! They will definitely be aiming for your life!" persuaded someone.

  "That's right. We might as well go together. I want to see if they can really kill us all," said someone else. The others were also getting restless, wishing to go with Xiang Shaoyun.

  However, Xiang Shaoyun said with a solemn tone, "Don't be reckless. Their target is only me. If I go, the brothers will be fine. But if you mess around, more of our brothers will suffer. Listen to me, leave immediately!"
