《I Am Overlord》Chapter 1286: Song Tiandao
Advertisement
Song Tiandao, a domineering name that meant celestial saber. A person with this name would either be an unyielding person or someone who would die early. Song Tiandao was a master at blades. His saber attacks were exceptionally impressive, as though he could breathe life into his very blade. Someone like him was worthy of having such a name.
Ever since witnessing Song Tiandao's saber mastery, Xiang Shaoyun had been itching for a fight. He also used a saber. He believed that he was exceptional at sabers as well. Thus, he wanted to exchange some pointers with the man who was also a saber master.
Song Tiandao had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun would be able to evade his attack. His eyes flickered with astonishment, but he quickly hid his shock. He said, "Get lost if you don't want to die."
"What if I refuse to get lost?" asked Xiang Shaoyun provocatively.
"If you can take a hit from me, you may stay," said Song Tiandao as he drew his saber.
His saber was unsheathed at an incredible speed. This attack was similar in style with Bu Feng, the Sword of Speed Xiang Shaoyun once met. However, Song Tiandao's saber was much heavier, instantly arriving before Xiang Shaoyun's head.
Xiang Shaoyun reacted immediately and moved away with Phantom Shift. Even so, his shoulder was still struck. A wound opened, and his blood slowly seeped out. If he was any slower, he would have been hacked into two.
What a fast saber, thought Xiang Shaoyun in astonishment.
Xiang Shaoyun might be shocked, but Song Tiandao was even more shocked. That slash of his could easily kill a Sovereign. This fourth-stage Sovereign was actually able to avoid it?
"You may stay," said Song Tiandao. He did not say anything else and started walking away.

Xiang Shaoyun blanked out momentarily before drawing his saber and slashing at Song Tiandao.
He became one with his saber, his attack streaking forth like a bolt of lightning. Instantly, the attack reached Song Tiandao, causing Song Tiandao's pupils to shrink. Song Tiandao swung his saber, forcefully stopping the incoming slash.
"You're courting death!" Song Tiandao frowned. He stomped his foot against the ground and darted forth, pouncing on Xiang Shaoyun like a dragon. With his saber in hand, he started madly slashing at Xiang Shaoyun.
Song Tiandao never held back when fighting. His saber was akin to an extension of his body. Each slash was accompanied by a powerful saber intent, his attacks akin to a furious storm that couldn't be stopped.
This was the strength of someone who could easily kill peak Sovereigns. There was no doubt that Song Tiandao was an incredibly talented cultivator. Countless saber rays criss-crossed and formed a net, making it impossible for Xiang Shaoyun to escape. Xiang Shaoyun's eyes shone brightly as lightning energy erupted from his body. Raising his saber, he slashed at the incoming saber.
Clank!
In the blink of an eye, the two sabers clashed over 100 times. Each clash created a blinding spark and spread destruction in all directions. Song Tiandao's saber was fast and heavy. Without the gift of instincts, Xiang Shaoyun wouldn't have been able to see the incoming slashes. His arms were numb from the collisions, increasing the pressure he felt from this opponent.
"Comparable to a pseudo-Saint," Xiang Shaoyun made a judgment about Song Tiandao's strength.
Song Tiandao had only used one saber thus far. Even then, he had displayed a strength capable of killing peak Sovereigns. With his second saber still hanging on his back, it was obvious he had yet to use his true strength. It was clear enough that he had the combat strength to match a pseudo-Saint.

He was only a sixth-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator. If he could match a peak Sovereign, Xiang Shaoyun wouldn't be so surprised. But this person could match a pseudo-Saint. That was incredibly terrifying. Not even the top geniuses of the four academies could do any better than him in terms of combat strength.
Both Xiang Shaoyun and Song Tiandao were astonished by each other. Song Tiandao had not imagined that Xiang Shaoyun would have such mastery over the saber. Xiang Shaoyun could even fight him head on with a saber. This was too shocking for him.
"Pretty impressive, but too bad your cultivation is too low. Otherwise, you might be qualified to help me hone my saber," said Song Tiandao as he increased the intensity of his attack. Wave after wave of energy sabers flew forward. The green energy sabers swept through the sky like a roaring dragon, reducing everything around them into dust.
The pressure Xiang Shaoyun felt grew stronger and stronger. He was forced to fully activate his lightning bone and lightning star. However, that still wasn't enough. He was forced to borrow the natural lightning bolts from the sky before he could block Song Tiandao's saber.
Numerous explosions erupted as countless energy sabers flew in all directions. Not only did Xiang Shaoyun's lightning saber contain saber intent, but it also contained the profundity of lightning. With a swing of his saber, Song Tiandao was surrounded by a sea of lightning.
The attack gave him a fright. He had not imagined that Xiang Shaoyun's attack would be so powerful. Not only could Xiang Shaoyun summon lightning bolts in the Devil Domain, but his saber intent had also reached the second stage. Song Tiandao was starting to feel pressured. His opponent was only a fourth-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator. If Xiang Shaoyun's cultivation was a stage or two higher, he probably wouldn't be a match for Xiang Shaoyun.
"You're qualified to see my second saber," said Song Tiandao. His battle intent grew as he drew his second saber. With a saber in each hand, he charged Xiang Shaoyun.
With two sabers, Song Tiandao's attack became even more destructive. His sabers were akin to two dragons that constantly charged forward, leaving numerous massive cuts on the ground and slashing the surrounding mountains into pieces.
Song Tiandao was worthy of his name as he seemed really capable of cleaving the sky with his saber. Even with the gift of instincts, Xiang Shaoyun had a hard time dealing with such fast saber attacks.
Xiang Shaoyun bombarded the two dragons with countless lightning bolts, eventually destroying the two dragons, proving that he was superior in terms of destructive capabilities. With his current strength, he could only fight a peak Sovereign. If he wanted to defeat Song Tiandao, who could match a pseudo-Saint, he had to muster even more strength from his stars.
Complete Destruction!
Severing Mountains and Rivers!
The more Xiang Shaoyun fought, the more excited he became. He continuously used the different stances of the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique in his attempt to deal Song Tiandao some damage.
However, with two hands, Song Tiandao calmly dealt with whatever Xiang Shaoyun threw at him. He slashed through one attack after another, leaving numerous wounds on Xiang Shaoyun's body. Just as he thought that he was about to win, the energy around Xiang Shaoyun changed.
Fiery Lightning Storm!
