I Am Overlord

Chapter 1303: Sensation

"It's a complete waste of time dealing with small fries like you," said Xiang Shaoyun with disdain.

"P-please spare me," pleaded Wan Kaishan with fear plastered on his face.

He was someone who feared strength and bullied the weak. Before absolute strength, he lost all his will to fight. Not far away, Hu Ruhai was stunned. He hurriedly crawled back up and tried to escape. He had a feeling the next to suffer would be him.

Xiang Shaoyun swept his gaze at Hu Ruhai and said to Wan Kaishan, "Kill him, and I'll spare your life."

Wan Kaishan only hesitated slightly before he charged toward Hu Ruhai. As a Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator, Hu Ruhai had no way of escaping Wan Kaishan even though Wan Kaishan had suffered serious injuries. In a flash, Hu Ruhai was captured.

"Cousin, let's run together," said Hu Ruhai as his entire body turned cold.

Wan Kaishan wanted that as well, but he could feel that Xiang Shaoyun's aura was locked onto him. If he really dared to flee, a merciless attack would descend upon him. He didn't even dare to attempt an escape.

"Cousin, you're the reason all this is happening. You have to solve it," said Wan Kaishan as he tossed Hu Ruhai toward Xiang Shaoyun. "Here he is. Please spare us."

Ouyang Chuanqi, Han Chenfei, and Jiang Qi had already obtained the upper hand in their respective battles. They had killed several opponents in a row. It was only a matter of time before Wan Kaishan's people were completely defeated.

"Did you not hear what I said? I told you to kill him. I don't want to dirty my hands to deal with him," said Xiang Shaoyun indifferently with his arms crossed.

Wan Kaishan's expression stiffened. He had not expected Xiang Shaoyun to be so ruthless. His little scheme had failed miserably. Hu Ruhai was his cousin. He couldn't bring himself to personally kill his own cousin.

"Xiang Shaoyun, you better let me go, or my Hu Clan won't spare you!" threatened Hu Ruhai with resentment.

"If you keep waiting, I'll just kill the both of you," said Xiang Shaoyun, completely ignoring Hu Ruhai.

Wan Kaishan shut his eyes and took a deep breath. The axe reappeared in his hand. He looked at Hu Ruhai and said, "Rest in peace, cousin. I'll give you a proper burial."

"Cousin, you can't—" Hu Ruhai paled as he tried to flee. However, Wan Kaishan gave him no chance. With a swing of the axe, a head was severed. The eyes on the head were still wide open with indignation.

"Well done. Everyone, stop," said Xiang Shaoyun with a satisfied smile.

Hu Ruhai was the culprit for all this. He deserved death. However, Wan Kaishan had also helped Hu Ruhai. He also needed to be taught a lesson. Xiang Shaoyun's manner of handling this matter seemed vicious, but this was already a very benevolent solution in this dog-eat-dog world. Any other person would have killed Wan Kaishan and all his people.

Ouyang Chuanqi, Han Chenfei, and Jiang Qi stopped. Less than half of Wan Kaishan's people remained. They had suffered a disastrous loss. Wan Kaishan left gloomily with his people with regret.

He was filled with resentment and was thinking of ways to take his revenge. But when he learned that Xiang Shaoyun was ranked first in the Devil Hunting Expedition, he completely erased any thoughts of revenge.

If anyone dared to tell him that Xiang Shaoyun had cheated to obtain first place, he would be the first to curse at them for being idiots. He was certain that Xiang Shaoyun was strong enough to obtain first place without cheating. When facing Xiang Shaoyun, he felt like he was facing a young Saint instead of a Sovereign.

The boundless strength at Xiang Shaoyun's command caused him to despair. This was an individual who would most definitely grow into a terrifying existence in the future. If such a person wanted to take revenge on him, he would not be able to avoid the fate of dying.

"Thank you for helping me yet again, Shaoyun," said Jiang Qi gratefully.

She had only met Xiang Shaoyun several times. The two were mere acquaintances. However, Xiang Shaoyun had saved her from danger several times, filling her heart with gratitude. She vowed to herself that she would repay Xiang Shaoyun one day.

Unlike many other women, she wouldn't fall for him so easily. Instead, she hoped to become his good friend. He already had too many women. Perhaps it was the pride she had as a genius cultivator, but she wasn't willing to share a man with so many women.

A few days passed. Finally, the end of the Devil Hunting Expedition arrived. As Lady Shura was nowhere to be seen, Xiang Shaoyun started becoming agitated. Lady Shura was his woman. If something bad happened to her, he would go mad.

That day, Tang Zhan reappeared before the public eye, officially announcing the end of the Devil Hunting Expedition. Over 50,000 people had participated in the Devil Hunting Expedition, but only one-fifth had survived. It was clear that entering the Devil Domain was no trivial matter. It was likely that there were more who were unable to return in time, but it was certain that most of those who had not returned had perished.

"The Devil Hunting Expedition has ended. Now, this governor will be announcing the names on the top-100 ranking. Ranked first is Xiang Shaoyun, with 16,800 sacred points and 480 billion contribution points. He has also taken the 9,990,000th place on the Contribution Stele. He is the Devil Hunting Expedition's undisputed king of devil hunters. Xiang Shaoyun, please step onto the stage."

Xiang Shaoyun stepped out of the crowd and landed on the stage. His appearance caused a sensation among the crowd.

"This is Xiang Shaoyun? He looks only in his twenties. How can he be so strong?"

"Someone who had won the favor of both Devil Concubine and Yu Caidie is most definitely no simple individual. It is rumored that he is an abandoned disciple of the Dragon Phoenix Academy. I wonder if the Dragon Phoenix Academy elders are all brainless. They actually abandoned a disciple so outstanding?"

"So this is Xiang Shaoyun. He is so incredibly handsome. But with only a fourth-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivation, how did he obtain so many points? He hadn't cheated, right?"

"During the competition between the four academies several years ago, he alone emerged as the champion. Today, he emerged as the champion of the Devil Hunting Expedition. His growth is really incredible."

"After a hundred years, he will probably be standing at the very peak of humanity."
