Chapter 763: One Against One Hundred
Xiang Shaoyun's lone intrusion into Feng Xiaosha's villa had attracted the attention of the nearby core disciples as well. The disciples residing in the area started soaring to the sky to observe the situation within Feng Xiaosha's villa. When they saw Xiang Shaoyun fighting the Squall members all by himself, they gasped in alarm.
"Is this Xiang Shaoyun a lunatic? He actually dares to charge into Feng Xiaosha's lair alone against so many enemies? How brazen!"
"He's definitely courting death. Even if he is strong, numbers are not easily overcome."
"Are the Overlord Legion members all completely useless? Don't they know to accompany their overlord?"
"If Xiang Shaoyun can leave safely today, he will truly earn my respect."
...
In Feng Xiaosha's villa, the Squall members attacked one after another, each of them launching heavy attacks, determined to defeat Xiang Shaoyun.
These disciples had remarkable combat strength, and each was capable of fighting those that were two stages higher in cultivation. They also had a considerable amount of trump cards. Not even a peak Emperor would be able to gain an advantage over them here.
Unfortunately for them, they were facing Xiang Shaoyun, who was even scarier than peak Emperors. Not only was Xiang Shaoyun incredibly fast, but his reaction speed was also unrivaled. Although he had a lot of opponents, he could see each of their moves clearly. Using feints, force redistributions, punches, and kicks, he wiped the floor with these disciples.
"Ahhhh!"
The Squall members were sent flying one after another. Blood sprayed everywhere, the scene of their battle brutal. Xiang Shaoyun had fought them in close range, and he had also restrained himself. Even so, each punch and kick was still heavy enough to surpass his opponents' tolerance.
In a few breaths of time, more than 10 were sent flying away. The 10-plus people sent flying crashed into their companions and created the domino effect, giving Xiang Shaoyun the opportunity to wipe the floor with even more of them.
Due to the sheer number of people he was facing, it wasn't quite possible for Xiang Shaoyun to take all of them down. No matter how fast he was, it was only a matter of time before he made a blunder.
Suddenly, someone appeared from an unexpected angle, stabbing a shiny dagger at Xiang Shaoyun's back.
Xiang Shaoyun had just sent two people to the ground and evaded the attacks of three other people. Thus, the sneak attack caught him by a complete surprise. The attack struck him, causing him to hiss in pain.
Fortunately, his flesh was extremely tough, his muscles stopping the dagger from penetrating too deeply. He could sense a numb sensation on his wound. Evidently, the dagger was covered in poison.
It completely infuriated Xiang Shaoyun. He lunged forward, grabbed at an incoming disciple, and slammed them onto the ground. He then quickly sidestepped to avoid the dagger wielder's follow-up stab and made his counterattack.
"Coward!" With a roar, Xiang Shaoyun clawed at him. His arm shot over like a bolt of lightning, and as he grabbed the dagger wielder's wrist, he twisted his hand.
Crack!
"AHHH!"
The dagger wielder's wrist snapped, causing him to wail miserably. Xiang Shaoyun did not stop at that. He gave the dagger wielder's abdomen a heavy kick, sending his opponent flying away. The dagger wielder crashed into a few incoming attacks, knocking his companions off their feet.
Xiang Shaoyun quickly used the power of lightning to cleanse his body of poison. He was forced to temporarily be on the defensive, and he focused on dodging to ensure his safety. In the eyes of others, this action was proof that he was barely hanging on.
"He can't last any longer. Let's finish him!" someone shouted.
The shout seemed to drive the Squall members crazy as they attacked madly. Relying on the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps and his reaction speed, Xiang Shaoyun evaded all the attacks. He was even able to lure the Squall members into attacking their own companions instead, causing complete chaos in their midst.
After a while, Xiang Shaoyun finally cleared the poison from his back. There was no longer anything holding him back.
"Alright, I'm not playing anymore," said Xiang Shaoyun coldly as he finally increased the might of his attacks.
Lightning Bolt Fist!
Using his innate lightning and the profundity of lightning, he powered his fists, sending numerous destructive lightning punches everywhere.
The Lightning Bolt Fist was only a peak king-grade technique. It was no longer useful for someone of Xiang Shaoyun's cultivation level. However, with the inclusion of the profundity of lightning, the technique actually reached the level of emperor-grade techniques.
Heavy and overbearing punches shot everywhere, sending the disciples flying. A series of rumbles rang out from within the villa, accompanied by the Squall members' painful groans. They were incapable of withstanding Xiang Shaoyun's punches.
"Qingyu, Wang Xin, you guys go as well. If we allow Xiang Shaoyun to continue rampaging like this, the Squall will lose all its prestige," said Feng Xiaosha with an unsightly expression.
At his command, the people around him joined the chaotic battle as well. Suddenly, a change occurred as Mu Qingyu and Wang Xin changed sides and attacked the two fourth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivators beside them.
The betrayal had happened too abruptly. The two fourth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivators weren't even able to react before they were smashed to the ground. Mu Qingyu and Wang Xin did not stop at that as they pressed on to attack the other Squall members as well.
"Mu Qingyu, Wang Xin, have you gone crazy? I told you to attack Xiang Shaoyun! Why are you attacking our own?" Feng Xiaosha roared furiously.
Mu Qingyu and Wang Xin had been following him since before they had joined the Dragon Phoenix Academy. They were absolutely loyal, hence why they were his left and right arms. He was having a hard time believing their betrayal.
Alas, the truth was right before his eyes. No matter how he roared, he couldn't change the fact.
The sudden betrayal further dropped their morale, allowing Xiang Shaoyun to continue beating the Squall members. In the span of a few breaths, over 100 people were left sprawled across the ground, groaning in pain. Feng Xiaosha stared blankly at all that was happening, his entire body shaking.
"Xiang Shaoyun, I will never spare you!" Feng Xiaosha howled with an ashen face. He had finally decided to personally attack.
But instead of attacking Xiang Shaoyun, he targeted Mu Qingyu and Wang Xin. For him, these traitors were even more unforgivable.
"I am your opponent," said Xiang Shaoyun as he flashed forth like a phantom.
