I Am Overlord - Chapter 149

Chapter 149

hapter 149: Go Back, Shower, and Sleep

These were truly ancient words . Even someone like Xiang Shaoyun who had read tens of thousands of books was unable to recognize all of these ancient words . From that, it was clear how old the skin was . Dong Zi also stretched her head over to peek at the words . Confusion covered her face as she mumbled, "What the hell are these words?"

"No idea, but this is mine," Xiang Shaoyun said before keeping the skin away with no hesitation . Just because he couldn't read the words did not mean nobody could . Perhaps a major secret was hidden behind them .

Dong Zi knew this could very well be the biggest harvest from the excursion, but she did not fight over it with Xiang Shaoyun . Without Xiang Shaoyun, she wouldn't have been able to reach so far . In any case, she had already gotten a life essence seed for herself, which was an incredibly precious treasure in and of itself . Getting it had already made her trip worth it .

They did not leave immediately . Rather, they searched the cave one last time to see if they had missed anything . After confirming that they had missed nothing, they prepared to leave .

Suddenly, Dong Zi blushed . The tunnel leading outside was still filled with blackcorpse poison . She had no way of leaving without Xiang Shaoyun's assistance . More importantly, her real gender had been exposed . She was too embarrassed to stick so close to Xiang Shaoyun anymore .

"Come on, time to go," Xiang Shaoyun called out at her .

"I-I . . . " Dong Zi hesitated, not knowing that to say .

Seemingly capable of reading her mind, a smile surfaced on Xiang Shaoyun's face as he said, "Come on, Brother Crossdresser . I won't take advantage of you . Don't worry . "

"You are the crossdresser . Your entire family are crossdressers!" Dong Zi fumed .

Xiang Shaoyun abruptly approached her, grabbed her arm, and pulled her toward the tunnel . A layer of lightning energy shrouded both Xiang Shaoyun and Dong Zi as they rushed through the cave towards its exit . Unlike when they had entered, they were not troubled by the numerous blackfur corpses when leaving . They only needed to deal with the poison .

The fuming Dong Zi was planning to give Xiang Shaoyun a beating, but when she saw how Xiang Shaoyun was protecting her, a sense of warmth covered her heart and her face turned red . They were able to leave the depths of the cave smoothly . Slowly, the poison in the air thinned and became less threatening . Xiang Shaoyun continued running quickly with Dong Zi in tow . Not long after, they finally left the cave . Unfortunately, waiting for them outside were the Blackhill Sect members .

When the Blackhill Sect members arrived, they could not decide if they should enter the cave or not . But they eventually discovered that there were signs of burning around and inside the cave . A lot of dead blackfur corpses could be found around the area as well . Thus, they were able to conclude that someone had entered the cave .

Because of that, they had decided to guard the entrance and rob the person who had entered . Sure enough, they had not waited for nothing . When Xiang Shaoyun and Dong Zi saw the almost 100 people waiting outside, the two blanked out . It was obvious enough that these were Blackhill Sect members .

Xiang Shaoyun cursed inwardly, Damn it, why are they so fast?

"Hello, there . What are you guys doing here so late at night? It's quite cold out here . I suggest you guys go back, take a shower, and go to bed," Xiang Shaoyun greeted warmly and noiselessly dragged Dong Zi toward the direction with fewer people .

"Hmph . The two of you have intruded upon the Blackhill Sect's mine, and you dare speak such sarcastic words to us? You are courting death!" one of them berated .

"Wait, what do you mean by intruding upon your mine? This is obviously a mass burial site . Those monsters had captured us into the cave . If we hadn't been lucky, we would have died . There are a lot of zombies in there!" Xiang Shaoyun exaggerated .

He then let go of Dong Zi and whispered, "Escape the moment you have the chance . "

"No! I am not running!" Dong Zi yelled .

Xiang Shaoyun's face turned unsightly . He had been whispering so the Blackhill Sect members wouldn't hear what he told her, but this stupid girl actually yelled it out .

"Heh, escape? Look around you . Can you even escape?" someone from the Blackhill Sect sneered .

At this time, the vice sect master of the Blackhill Sect stepped out and said, "I don't care who you are, but you will have to come with us . We will decide your fate at a later time . Men, tie them up . If they dare resist, kill them . "

Murderous intent was leaking out of this vice sect master as he gave the command . Clearly, he did not intend to let Xiang Shaoyun and Dong Zi leave . Two people approached Xiang Shaoyun and Dong Zi .

"You dare . . . ," Dong Zi stepped forth and shouted .

But before she could finish her sentence, Xiang Shaoyun abruptly dashed toward a certain direction, dragging her along with him .

"Those who stand in my way shall die!" Xiang Shaoyun howled as the apparitions of a dragon and a tiger appeared behind him . A trace of a tiger's roar was mixed within his outward rumbling shout, causing everyone's ears to hum in pain .

The tiger's roar was an innate demonic ability Xiang Shaoyun had inherited from the white tiger soul . Although his roar wasn't as fearsome as the roar of a true tiger, the true essence of a white tiger's roar was most certainly contained within his roar . Thus, if he was able to catch his opponents by surprise, his roar would be remarkably effective .

The Blackhill Sect members around Xiang Shaoyun were momentarily stunned, allowing Xiang Shaoyun to charge out of the encirclement . With the exquisite Overlord's Nine Nether Steps, he moved at a speed not even late-stage Transformation Realm cultivators could match .

Furthermore, Xiang Shaoyun had also selected to break out from the spot with the lowest number of Blackhill Sect members . Because of that, he was able to tear a way out and directly dash into the woods . He was using all his power, channeling energy out of all nine of his stars as he fled .

Unfortunately, there were too many Blackhill Sect members . Even their vice sect master was here, and they were all elites . Xiang Shaoyun and Dong Zi wouldn't be able to escape so easily .

The vice sect master streaked through the air like a phantom as he chased Xiang Shaoyun . A few people were also following closely behind the vice sect master . These were all powerful peak Transformation Realm cultivators .

"Don't even dream of escaping," the vice sect master sneered before sending a palm attack with each of his hands—one aimed at Xiang Shaoyun while the other aimed at Dong Zi .

The overbearing attack swept forth like a tsunami . Right as the attack was about to hit Xiang Shaoyun and Dong Zi, a figure appeared out of nowhere and slammed the incoming attack back toward the vice sect master . The vice sect master was caught completely by surprise and was sent flying by the counterattack .

Bang!
