I Am Overlord

Chapter 683: Scram

It was true that Leng Xiaoyu was unsatisfied with Xiang Shaoyun. He had heard of Xiang Shaoyun’s deeds, but he believed they were overexaggerated. In his opinion, Xiang Shaoyun was probably weaker than him. Thus, he could not accept Xiang Shaoyun holding the title of overlord.

He thought that Tang Longfei was stronger than Xiang Shaoyun, and Tang Longfei should be the overlord instead. Hence, he was happy to accept Xiang Shaoyun’s challenge. He wished to show everyone here that Xiang Shaoyun wasn’t as strong as they had believed.

“Since I’m the leader, I will let you make the first move,” said Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly.

Leng Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes as a silver halberd appeared in his hands. A frosty aura erupted from his body as the projection of a roaring ice dragon appeared around him, instantly dropping the temperature of his surroundings.

“Don’t regret it. Here I come,” said Leng Xiaoyu as he stabbed the halberd straight at Xiang Shaoyun.

Frostspike Drill!

Instantly, the length of the halberd increased as it transformed into a frosty spike over 10 meters long. The sharp tip of the spike instantly arrived before Xiang Shaoyun’s throat, carrying with it an icy aura.

At this moment, everyone still thought that this attack was too simple and wasn’t threatening enough. But instantly, seven copies of the spike appeared around Xiang Shaoyun, sealing all his paths of retreat and making escaping the attack impossible.

Xiang Shaoyun remained motionless, as if he was completely incapable of evading. Everyone grew anxious on his behalf, seeing that he was going to be hit soon.

Cling! Clank!

Abruptly, a series of crisp sounds rang out. The incomparably sharp ice spike seemed to have struck an unbreakable steel wall. The ice spike shattered as ice fragments sputtered everywhere. Before Xiang Shaoyun, six layers of thick gold shields had appeared, protecting him completely. The shields shone with a brilliant radiance.

Leng Xiaoyu did not give up on his attack just because his ice spike had shattered. He continued stabbing forward with his halberd, and as he applied more force, his weapon shone with a golden glint and slammed into the gold shields. He intended to pierce through the shields to hit Xiang Shaoyun. But when the halberd hit the gold shields, it failed to do any damage.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled. “This strength is not even enough to get through my defense. Work harder!”

Leng Xiaoyu could hear the contempt in Xiang Shaoyun’s words. In response, he leaped into the air before piercing down with his halberd aimed at Xiang Shaoyun’s head.

“I refuse to believe I can’t break your defense!” Leng Xiaoyu roared and released all his strength. Waves of frost energy rippled out, causing the people in the area to all feel a rapid drop of temperature.

They all gasped inwardly, What powerful frost energy!

When Leng Xiaoyu attacked with his full power, he lived up to the reputation of someone on the Jiao Luan List. Before the attack arrived, the frost energy burst forth, freezing Xiang Shaoyun’s golden shields, turning their initial golden hue into the snow-white color of ice.

Xiang Shaoyun sensed a frigid energy pass through his defenses and invade his body. It was at that moment that Leng Xiaoyu’s halberd arrived. He brought the halberd down upon Xiang Shaoyun like it was a collapsing mountain.

Someone unaware of what was happening would have thought that the two were mortal enemies from the intensity of Leng Xiaoyu’s attack. Even Tang Longfei was starting to feel displeased as he thought, This kid really doesn’t know what’s good for him.

Just as the attack was about to land, Xiang Shaoyun moved. He lifted his head, faced the halberd, and roared, “Scram!” 

A dreadful voice powered by the Tiger’s Roar surged out. As the sound wave spread, the ice in the surroundings cracked and splashed everywhere. As for the people in the area, they felt like they were going to turn deaf. A dreadful white tiger manifested in the air. Like a king patrolling his territory, the tiger pounced forward, carrying thick vicious gold energy with it.

The roar stirred Leng Xiaoyu’s blood, causing blood to spurt from his ears. Then, the aura of an unrivaled tiger sovereign pressed down upon him, eradicating the frost intent he had spread around himself. He could no longer control the frost surrounding him, and the tiger’s counterattack sent him flying.

“AHHH!”

His clothes were reduced to rags, and as his blood sprayed everywhere, he wailed in pain. He then crashed heavily into the corner of the villa and remained on the ground for a long time. The Overlord Legion members were greatly shaken.

“Each person is a unique being with his own temperament, but indifference is generally reserved for enemies, not those on our side. I hope you can think about that,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a tone of reproach.

He had not planned to deal Leng Xiaoyu such a heavy blow, but the other party had actually dared to undermine his authority, which was not something he could accept. Hence, he had decided to teach Leng Xiaoyu a proper lesson so he would act appropriately in the future.

Not even Tang Longfei continued to speak on Leng Xiaoyu’s behalf. Rather, he felt somewhat regretful for having recruited a troublesome person.

Leng Xiaoyu struggled back onto his feet and lowered his haughty head. “Leng Xiaoyu deserves death for offending the overlord.”

He then raised his halberd and stabbed himself. Nobody had expected him to be so decisive, and before anyone could react, the halberd had already penetrated Leng Xiaoyu’s abdomen. The scene gripped one’s heart.

Xiang Shaoyun frowned and said, “Big Brother Tang, bring him away to heal up. This matter ends here.”

“Yes, Overlord,” Tang Longfei answered as he rushed over and brought Leng Xiaoyu away.

Xiang Shaoyun regarded everyone again and said, “The Overlord Legion is a group, and we are all brothers. I do not wish to see our weapons trained against our own people. In the future, those unhappy with me may leave voluntarily. Do not do something that will hurt others in the legion.”

“Yes, Overlord. We shall abide by your command,” said everyone.

From that moment, none of them harbored any disrespect toward him anymore. 

Next, Xiang Shaoyun revealed his gold elemental emperor-grade items and offered to trade them away with priority given to their own people.

Although he was their leader, he couldn’t give them the treasures for free. Otherwise, he would bankrupt himself. Furthermore, each person present had a decent background. They were all considerably wealthy, and they could definitely afford to trade for what they wanted.

The eyes of a few gold cultivators were practically shining when they saw the gold elemental emperor-grade items Xiang Shaoyun was offering.
