I Am Overlord

aoyun glared at Dong Zi.

“I should be the one asking you that question! Why did you touch my shoulder?” Dong Zi glared at Xiang Shaoyun as well.

“You're crazy! My lightning energy is able to restrain the blackcorpse poison here.
I was only trying to help protect you from the poison.
What's with your extreme reaction? Are you trying to murder me?” Xiang Shaoyun was furious.

That made Dong Zi realize that he had wrongly blamed Xiang Shaoyun.
He lowered his head awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Just as he was about to apologize, two black figures suddenly appeared behind him.

“Howl!”

“Be careful!” Xiang Shaoyun was able to see clearly behind Dong Zi since he was facing Dong Zi's front and could see over his shoulders.
He yelled and pulled Dong Zi to the side before kicking the two black figures.

Bang! Bang!

Two blackfur corpses were sent flying away.
Dong Zi broke out in cold sweat.
If Xiang Shaoyun had reacted a tad bit slower, he would have been bitten by the blackfur corpses.

Xiang Shaoyun said, “Do what you want.
I'm going in.”

Xiang Shaoyun did not want to drag this on.
He held a torch with one hand and the Overlord Skyslaying Saber with the other hand as he started moving again.
The two blackfur corpses stood up again but were met with Xiang Shaoyun's slash, which split them into two.

As of this moment, Xiang Shaoyun was starting to get serious.
As he advanced, one blackfur corpse after another appeared, and the torch in his hand lit them all up.
Instead of wasting more time with them, he advanced the moment he lit one on fire.
The deeper he went, the thicker the blackcorpse poison became.
Hissing sounds rang out incessantly as the poison corroded his outer energy without stop.

Dong Zi had been sticking close to Xiang Shaoyun while feeling incomparably anxious.
He was also a capable combatant, but he had no way of going too deep into the cave.
At the same time, he also found the blackfur corpses terrifying.
After some hesitation, he took out a stalk of high-grade spirit medicine and stuffed it into his mouth.
That was a spirit medicine capable of resisting poison and was even better than the poison discharge pill.

“I won't be a burden!” Dong Zi muttered to himself before running after Xiang Shaoyun with his sword raised.

There was only a limited number of blackfur corpses in the cave.
The deeper Xiang Shaoyun went, the fewer blackfur corpses he met.
Even so, these newly appeared blackfur corpses were much more zombified and stronger than the ones he had met earlier.
If he wasn't a Transformation Realm cultivator, he wouldn't have been able to defeat these corpses with one slash.
These new corpses had incredibly tough skin with sparse black furs.
Regular fire could no longer harm them.

“This is a sign of these corpses turning into complete zombies,” Xiang Shaoyun muttered.

He really could not understand how the Blackhill Sect had only discovered that they were digging up a burial site after mining here for so long.
The deeper he went, the more spacious the cave became.
It was clear this space was man-made and was not naturally formed.

Currently, Xiang Shaoyun had stopped advancing and was standing there studying a room with pitch-black walls.
These pitch-black walls were formed precisely of the blackiron ores the Blackhill Sect was mining.

Xiang Shaoyun had little interest in the blackiron ores.
He was currently staring at 36 human-shaped indentations on the ground.
There was a zombie in each of them.
The zombies were all dressed in ancient armors and were holding on to some weapons with their hands.
No sign of life could be seen within them.
It was obvious they had been dead for a long time.
