I Am Overlord

er retreated.
He had no intention of running at all.
Rather, he picked up a loose brick lying on the ground.

It was also at this moment that the two youths sent their attacks toward Xiang Shaoyun.
As outer court disciples of the Martial Hall Palace, they had both learned some battle techniques.
Although they were the most basic of battle techniques, they enabled the two youths to have some form of combat ability.
One of them chose to send a fist straight toward Xiang Shaoyun’s face while the other attacked his lower leg.

“If you don’t let me eat, you die!” Xiang Shaoyun bellowed at the top of his lungs, his body dodging their attacks with the nimbleness of a sparrow.
As he stopped before one of the youths, the brick in his hand turned into a peerless weapon, smashing straight down onto the youth’s head!

Pa!

The unfortunate youth suffered a direct blow to his head.
Blood began gushing out as his eyes rolled.
He fainted on the spot, and his comrade suffered a severe fright but did not back down, sending a leg flying toward Xiang Shaoyun.

The power behind this kick was quite formidable indeed, sending out ripples of wind.
If this was before Xiang Shaoyun had broken through to the sixth stage of Basic Realm, he would only have been able to avoid this powerful kick.
Right now, however, he chose to directly counter this kick with his own kick!

Crack!

When their kicks connected, the crisp sound of bone being broken could be heard.
Staggering back from the engagement with Xiang Shaoyun, the youth found that he could no longer stand steadily on both feet, and he cried out in pain, “My leg! My leg is broken!”

Having partially tapped into his body’s potential in the Hall of Limits, Xiang Shaoyun was starting to show the results of nine years of physical reinforcement from soaking in medicine.
In terms of physical strength alone, Xiang Shaoyun was completely unmatched in the Basic Realm.

For this youth, going head-to-head with Xiang Shaoyun was seeking his own demise.
Swiftly closing the gap between the two of them, Xiang Shaoyun once again took hold of the brick and struck towards the youth.
The same fate that befell the other youth fell upon this youth as well.

Within mere moments, Xiang Shaoyun had finished off two opponents of the same level as him.
One could only admit his “brick martial techniques” were both fiery yet beautiful to watch.
Thinking back to when he was a powerful figure in his own home, he would often use a brick to discipline disobedient servants.

Gou Zi was stunned speechless.
He had never thought that his two companions would be taken care of so easily.
Looking at the approaching Xiang Shaoyun, Gou Zi sinisterly laughed, “Do you think that because you were able to knock them out with luck that you’ll be able to take on me, a peak seventh-stage Basic Realm cultivator? Too naive!”

Rushing Wind Punch!

Gathering the force of air around one’s fist, just one punch would be enough to break rocks and startle the heavens! This punch of Gou Zi’s comprised all his physical strength and was more than sufficient to completely obliterate a rock weighing 500 kilograms.

Taking a deep breath, Xiang Shaoyun sent a punch of his own in retaliation.
Trying to compete with him in terms of physical strength was asking for trouble.

“Ahhh!”

When the two fists collided, a sharp cry of pain immediately rang out.
Needless to say, the cry belonged to none other than Gou Zi.

However, Gou Zi managed to retract his hand just in time, avoiding the full force of Xiang Shaoyun’s fist.
It was due to this timely move that he was able to escape the tragic fate of having his bones broken like his two companions.
Nonetheless, his hand was shaking with so much pain that it was hard to lift it.

“You damn lackeys want to target me time and again, right? This time, I’ll thoroughly beat all of you into dogs!” Xiang Shaoyun shouted, the brick in his other hand already ruthlessly planting itself into Gou Zi’s face.

Gou Zi cried out in anguish, and blood gushed out of his nose in columns.
Xiang Shaoyun did not let up, raining blow after blow on Gou Zi’s face and head.

Crack!

The brick ended up breaking after smacking his head time after time.

“It seems that your head is rather stiff; the brick actually broke!” Xiang Shaoyun finally let up, looking scornfully at the pitiful Gou Zi.

“Y-you…Young Master Wu won’t let you off! Waaaaaahhh!” Gou Zi cried through tears of pain.

Getting on his feet, Xiang Shaoyun threw the broken brick aside and tyrannically declared, “Even if it's the king of heavens trying to stop me from eating, I will smack him to death!”
