《I Am Overlord》Chapter 639: Eager to Save
Advertisement
In the blink of an eye, two days passed. Xiang Shaoyun was getting impatient with waiting around. Through his senses, he confirmed that Yu Lin was being monitored. It was likely that Yu Lin had incurred suspicion. Zhu Changchuang had also recovered, and he had demanded that Yu Lin be killed. He even said that if nobody was willing to do that here, he would report it to Di Lin.
As someone on the Dragon Phoenix List, Zhu Changchuang was someone with extraordinary talent. A person like him would mature into a Heaven Battling Realm expert at the very least.
Thus, Winter Frost and Summer Flame could not afford to treat him like a regular junior. They wouldn't have allowed him free reign over Lady Shura otherwise. The only person acting weird was Yu Lin, the one who had created a fuss. In truth, Yu Lin wasn't at all important to them, but now was not the time to kill him.
"I will give you a satisfactory answer when this is over," promised Summer Flame to Zhu Changchuang.
"Thank you, Elder Summer. We can't spare him easily!" Zhu Changchuang said.
"It has been two days, and Xiang Shaoyun should be here already. Has he changed his mind after finding out that this is a trap?" Winter Frost was getting impatient.
"That kid is quite smart, so he must have guessed the truth. If he's not coming, what should we do?" Summer Flame asked.
"I don't think so. My subordinate told me that he is on his way," Zhu Changchuang said.
"Hmph. If you're in his position and know that this is a trap, will you still come and throw your life away?" Winter Frost snorted coldly.
An awkward look covered Zhu Changchuang's face as he asked, "What should we do, then? Why don't you let me deal with the girl? We have no other uses for her anyway."

"Lust is like a knife hanging above your head. Looks like you have yet to understand that," said Summer Flame in a displeased manner. "You can take the girl away, but make sure to kill her before the day ends."
"Thank you, Elder Summer. I will definitely do so," said Zhu Changchuang in joy.
Still harboring the same evil intentions, Zhu Changchuang rushed toward Lady Shura. These days, Lady Shura's strength was completely sealed. She was completely helpless and had no way of escaping.
"Come with me. Today is the day you die regardless of whether Xiang Shaoyun is coming or not," said Zhu Changchuang as he dragged Lady Shura away after freeing her from the ropes binding her. He even shot Yu Lin a provocative look, as if challenging him to do something about this.
Yu Lin wanted to help, but with the two Sovereigns around, there was nothing he could do. Xiang Shaoyun lost his patience, seeing Zhu Changchuang's actions.
Screw it! I must keep Lady Shura safe! Xiang Shaoyun decided as he summoned the nether prison devil puppet and sent it flying toward Lady Shura.
As for himself, he went invisible as he followed the puppet. The moment Xiang Shaoyun moved, Winter Frost and Summer Flame detected some changes in their surroundings. However, they had only sensed the puppet and had not discovered Xiang Shaoyun.
"Let me deal with the puppet," said Winter Frost as he shot toward the puppet. He palmed the air before him repeatedly, sending forth a wave of frost energy that froze up the puppet.
As for Summer Flame, he spoke to Zhu Changchuang through voice transmission, "Xiang Shaoyun is here. Do as you see fit."
Zhu Changchuang sneered, "It's even better that he's here. He will personally witness me humiliate his woman before he dies."

He then tore Lady Shura's clothes apart with a look of lust on his face.
Despairing, Lady Shura said, "Farewell, Shaoyun."
She was prepared to die. Just as she was about to bite her tongue and kill herself, Zhu Changchuang's wail rang out. On the arm he used to tear Lady Shura's clothes, a tiny silver snake had appeared, severing the arm with a single bite. With a whip of the snake's tail, Zhu Changchuang was sent flying. Summer Flame had been concentrating on Lady Shura, as he knew Xiang Shaoyun would come prepared.
Instantly, Summer Flame's power wrapped around Lady Shura and the snake as he shouted, "Little bastard, you think you can save them? How naive!"
He then slammed a palm at Lady Shura and Money. The palm was powerful enough to flatten a mountain. It was clear Summer Flame wasn't planning to spare them. It was at this moment that Yu Lin suddenly erupted with all his strength before charging Summer Flame. When a peak Emperor fought with his life on the line, he could still deal a considerable amount of damage.
With a frown, Summer Flame attacked Yu Lin with his other hand. At the moment of distraction, Xiang Shaoyun released his Nether Soul Domain and pulled both Lady Shura and Money in, making them disappear from where they were.
Bang!
As for Yu Lin, Summer Flame's attack crushed his entire body, and the Sovereign's other attack landed on the ground, blasting open a massive crater. Just the attack's shockwave almost shattered Xiang Shaoyun’s Nether Soul Domain. Fortunately, he had entered the Emperor Realm, allowing his filthless soul to reach the level of a Sovereign. That was how his Nether Soul Domain had barely survived.
Even so, the shockwave had hit him as well, making it harder for him to remain invisible. His talent of invisibility was powered by his bloodline and astral energy. The shockwave had damaged his Nether Soul Domain, causing his filthless soul to suffer and his talent of invisibility to weaken.
"Lady Shura, remove your willpower resistance and allow me to summon you in," said Xiang Shaoyun through voice transmission.
Lady Shura was moved that Xiang Shaoyun had really come for her. She did as told and found herself appearing in an indescribable space. She had no idea what place it was, but she knew it was Xiang Shaoyun's doing.
Money's voice rang out, "This is my boss's astral cosmos sea. Don't worry, sister-in-law."
"This is Shaoyun's astral cosmos sea? How did we even come in?" asked Lady Shura in confusion. She was not someone who knew nothing, and she had never heard of an astral cosmos sea capable of storing a living person.
"I don't know. You might need to ask my boss about it. Oh, the nine-colored fog here is very good for us. You can absorb some of it when you're free."
He then ignored Lady Shura and started absorbing the nine-colored fog around him. Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun's invisibility was finally removed, fully revealing himself before his enemies.
