I Am Overlord Chapter 1715: This Fellow Is Not A Human

Chapter 1715: This Fellow Is Not A Human

Any person capable of absorbing death energy would be ruthlessly persistent because death energy would usually cause death. As for one who could even control death energy, that person would definitely be a unique and unmatched super expert.
The person who had ambushed Xiang Shaoyun was evidently an exceptional expert. Even a ninth-stage Rebirth Realm expert would hurry to retreat from such an attack. After all, even Gods feared death energy.
Huang Baiwu, Scarlet Flame Monarch, and Devouring Ghost knew how terrifying death energy was. They had not imagined that their enemy would be ruthless enough to assassinate their overlord this way.
Their attacks were unable to do anything. The assassin was too strong. Even a portion of the assassin's strength was enough to give them trouble. They were at completely different levels of strength.
Xiang Shaoyun had not expected to receive such a powerful attack. He mustered the strength of both his devil and astral cultivations and erupted with the Three Lives Fist, blasting the incoming sword ray into pieces.
Whoosh!
The sword ray cut into his fist, causing him to bleed. The wounds were so deep even his bones were visible. He retreated repeatedly while a large amount of death energy covered his body.
"Stop struggling. Not even your God Realm energy can expel my death energy after the moment you touched it," said the assassin confidently.
"Yes, this is quite an overbearing energy. But you are far from enough to kill me," said Xiang Shaoyun as he circulated his cultivation method and directly absorbed all the death energy around him.
Others might fear death energy, but that wasn't the case for Xiang Shaoyun. With his strongest physique, there was no energy that he couldn't absorb. The death energy was transformed into a part of his strength, further bolstering his astral cultivation.
At the same time, he released the Imperial Nether Domain and enveloped the assassin in it, making sure that the assassin wouldn't be able to escape. However, the assassin was too fast. The moment the Imperial Nether Domain was released, the assassin turned into a phantom and streaked away. Even while retreating, the assassin did not forget to swing his god-grade sword repeatedly, unleashing waves of terrifying death energy attacks.
Xiang Shaoyun failed to trap his attacker in his domain. Just as he was about to push on, he discovered that the assassin was attacking Yu Caidie, Huang Baiwu, and Scarlet Flame Monarch.
"You dare lay your hands on my people? You will die a miserable death!" Xiang Shaoyun's voice rang out as his soul clone flew out and charged the assassin.
His soul clone had reached the sixth-stage Rebirth Realm and could unleash a formidable combat strength.
Divine Sinister Space Palm!
Xiang Shaoyun held nothing back and struck his enemy, disregarding space itself. The enemy had not expected the sudden attack and was hit before he could react. He was sent flying away while coughing blood.
How can he be this strong? exclaimed the assassin inwardly before unleashing several terrifying slashes at Yu Caidie and Huang Baiwu. The torrential sword energy rushed the two, breaking through their defenses and leaving wounds on their bodies.
Just as the assassin was about to deal the final blow on the two, Xiang Shaoyun's soul clone arrived and threw several Three Lives Fists at him. Each punch was akin to an exploding star, unleashing a destructive might capable of erasing the past, present, and future.
The assassin hurriedly blended into the darkness around him before unleashing countless death slashes, cutting the space around him into pieces. Even with such powerful attacks, he was unable to stop the incoming punches. His sword rays were shattered as the punches struck him, causing him to bleed.
"Nobody can save you today!" Xiang Shaoyun was furious. It wasn't enough that the assassin was attacking him, but the assassin was even attacking his people. That was his taboo, so he was fully infuriated.
Punch after punch was released, each punch powered by boundless fist intent and shrouded in nine-colored radiance. The punches carried a boundless killing intent that nobody could stop.
The assassin was very strong. He did not think that he would be defeated by Xiang Shaoyun. He proceeded to absorb the dark energy around him and mustered the power of the profundity of darkness. The death energy around him became incredibly thick and intense, corroding space itself.
Rumble! Rumble!
Two different God Realm energies clashed. Space cracked and collapsed as though a natural disaster of an unprecedented level was occurring. Xiang Shaoyun shifted away Yu Caidie, Huang Baiwu, and the others who had been seriously wounded. He also absorbed all the death energy in their bodies before using his healing technique on them to replenish their life force and ensure that the death energy left no side effects.
"Everyone, watch out. There might be more hidden enemies," reminded Xiang Shaoyun.
"Who is that person? He's so ruthless," asked Yu Caidie with a frown.
"It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is he dies," said Xiang Shaoyun with thick killing intent.
Meanwhile, his soul clone was engaged with the assassin in an intense battle. He was unable to quickly defeat his opponent because the assassin was too fast and strong. Even so, the assassin was still greatly frightened by the strength Xiang Shaoyun had displayed. The assassin considered retreating. After all, dragging the battle on would not benefit him.
"This kid's physique is too terrifying. It can stop even my death energy. Moreover, his soul clone is stronger than his main body. I need to bring this information to my master. This person is a powerful enemy," muttered the assassin as he quickly retreated.
"Trying to leave? You won't have the chance," said Xiang Shaoyun coldly as the power of time flickered in his hands. The river of time appeared, throwing time and space into chaos. It sank his opponent into confusion. Anyone within this technique's range would have their senses thrown into disarray and lose all sense of direction.
Chaotic Spacetime!
Not even the mighty assassin could break free of the power of time. Just like that, Xiang Shaoyun sliced the assassin's body into pieces with the Divine Yin Yang Sword. Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to erase the assassin's soul, the assassin transformed into a shadow and rapidly escaped. He vanished from Xiang Shaoyun's view. That was a fleeing technique, the Divine Rapid Shadow Blink.
"That fellow is not a human!" Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed in alarm.
He could sense from his opponent's life force that he wasn't a human. Instead, the assassin was probably a member of the darkshadow race, a race that greatly resembled humans and possessed abilities related to shadows.
