I Am Overlord Chapter 469: Downfall of Kingdoms

Chapter 469: Downfall of Kingdoms

The warning came from Xiang Shaoyun, who was rushing over at top speed. Before he had even arrived, he had sensed what was happening in the battlefield. And when he saw Yu Caidie in danger, he quickly gave his warning.
He was worried that his warning had arrived too late as he thought anxiously, Damn it! Caidie, you need to block it!
In his agitation, his speed increased. Nothing could stop his advance. Yu Ziyi showed no mercy when she attacked. She crossed her two swords and aimed straight for Yu Caidie's neck.
Just as Yu Caidie's head was about to be cut off, Yu Caidie suddenly bowed down and barely dodged the attack. She took the chance to kick behind her, sending a counterattack toward Yu Ziyi.
When Yu Ziyi saw her attack miss, she quickly retreated, not intending to get herself tangled in a battle with her cousin. Yu Caidie did not give chase, as at this moment, the fifth-stage Devil Emperor had flapped its wings to send two hurricanes toward the two women.
The two were forced to deal with the attacks, and both were blasted away, pulling a wide distance between them and the yin devil wind. Once again, they were swarmed by a large number of devil wind beasts.
Blades of wind were everywhere, and a number of the young geniuses had already perished. Some were quickly withdrawing from the battlefield, no longer daring to take another step in.
After all, those devil wind beast emperors were too fast for them to handle. They might be geniuses, but without entering the Emperor Realm, it would be very hard for them to deal with these Devil Emperors.
"Hehe, you want to get the yin devil wind? That's not possible. It can only be mine," muttered Ruo Suifeng. He had been hiding silently to the side, and he was finally going to make a move.
He charged into the battlefield. Moving like the wind, he drifted left and right as he approached the storm and avoided all obstacles. Like a specter, he moved at a speed so fast not even the devil wind beasts could catch him. He was able to easily get through the defensive perimeter, and shortly after, he arrived before the storm.
"Hehe, I want it as well," said Shi Hai with a sneer. He was standing still amid the battlefield, his body dyed red with blood. Suddenly, a thick baleful aura spread out of his body, and his figure enlarged. His aura reached a level comparable to an actual Emperor, and he now looked like an actual cannibal.
This ability was known as Cannibal Transformation, and this was a demonstration of Shi Hai's true strength. After transforming into a cannibal, he charged ahead like a bull, the baleful aura he was emitting scaring away the devil wind beasts around him.
"Witness my Heaven Rupturing Foot!" Can Wunian also stopped holding back. A massive leg suddenly formed where his missing leg was, and with a single step, he went over a large number of devil wind beasts.
As for Huo Xudong, hiding to the side, he did not do anything. Rather, he quickly rushed toward Xiang Shaoyun, who had just arrived, and asked, "Brother Xiang, have you recovered?"
Xiang Shaoyun only shot him a cold glance and did not offer a reply. Instead, he directly charged into the battlefield. Instead of heading toward the yin devil wind, he headed toward Yu Caidie. In his eyes, the yin devil wind was nothing compared to Yu Caidie.
Like Ruo Suifeng, Xiang Shaoyun moved at an insane speed. At the same time, his gift of instincts was fully active, allowing him to clearly see the openings of the devil wind beasts and advance through them. Not a single attack was able to touch him. This was the nimbleness his body had obtained through many temperings and battles. The more chaotic a battlefield was, the more deft he seemed.
Huo Xudong was completely stunned. He had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun would actually ignore him. Inwardly, he thought, Had he figured out something?
But when he saw Xiang Shaoyun rushing toward Yu Caidie, he calmed down slightly. He concluded that Xiang Shaoyun was merely in a rush to save Yu Caidie. That was why he had been ignored. Even so, a slight sense of discomfort still lingered in his heart.
Drifting about in the midst of the numerous attacks sent by the devil wind beasts, Xiang Shaoyun's speed increased. As he used the Overlord’s Nine Nether Steps, each step of his rippled out with purple electrical currents, presenting a wondrous sight.
This was something that would only happen upon reaching a certain degree of primary mastery over this technique, proving that Xiang Shaoyun had finally started to grasp the technique’s essence. Reaching this level of comprehension had elevated his speed to an inconceivable level.
Meanwhile, Yu Caidie was bitterly fighting the fifth-stage Devil Emperor with her Brightfeather Umbrella. Her veil had already been destroyed, and blood was dripping from the corner of her lips. She looked to be in a rather bad shape. Everyone else was too preoccupied to pay attention to Yu Caidie's face. Otherwise, the sight of her face would have stunned them all.
It was a face so beautiful it could cause one to suffocate. The skin on her face was as sleek as a piece of jade, and it looked so tender it almost seemed it would bleed with the slightest pinch. Her eyes were akin to a pair of luminous moons, radiating a brilliance capable of dazzling anyone. Her nose and lips were perfectly proportionate to her face, with her lips radiating endless allure. Her fair neck was as graceful as a swan's, and she looked incredibly beautiful no matter which angle one looked at her.
One look at this face, and cities would fall. Two looks at this face, and kingdoms would fall. She was truly worthy of being called the number one beauty of Yu Province. In fact, she could even be called the number one beauty of the dominion and nobody would object. Of the women Xiang Shaoyun had seen, Ye Chaomu was the only one comparable to her in terms of beauty.
But of course, now was not the time for Xiang Shaoyun to focus on her beauty. The fifth-stage Devil Emperor had just used its Heaven Devouring Inhalation ability. A dreadful suction force pulled both Yu Caidie and Yu Ziyi toward its mouth. The moment they entered, death would be their only fate. But no matter how they struggled, they couldn't break free.
At the moment of crisis, Yu Caidie no longer held anything back. She channeled all her power into the Brightfeather Umbrella, and a blinding radiance bloomed. Yu Ziyi was also using her trump card. Joining her two swords together, she unleashed a dreadful attack.
Feathered Umbrella Covering the Sky!
Connection of a Mother and Child!
Two ultimate trump cards were sent flying toward the devil wind beast emperor. These attacks were enough to easily kill a third-stage Devil Emperor or even some of the ordinary fourth-stage Devil Emperors. Unfortunately, they were facing a fifth-stage Devil Emperor, the patriarch of the devil wind beasts. It was dreadfully powerful, and not even their trump cards could do anything to it.
A powerful wind force instantly ripped the two attacks apart, and a look of desperation covered the two women’s faces. The difference in strength was too big. There was nothing they could do to reverse this situation.
Right this moment, Xiang Shaoyun finally arrived near them. He yelled, "Imperial Nether Prison!"
Instantly, a corporeal space appeared and enveloped the two women and the devil wind beast patriarch.
