I Am Overlord

Chapter 1646: Forever Brothers

Xiang Shaoyun brought those who had remained with him and Little White back to the Ziling Sect. Although he had lost a lot of people to the ancient battlefield, the survivors had all grown considerably. One could say that their excursion to the ancient battlefield had brought them both gains and losses.

"Little White, are you still staying at the same place?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

Little White nodded. "Yes. In the past, I had wanted to go to the Ziling Sect and fight against the world alongside you, but that old fellow from the clan had thrown me into a dangerous place that I had nearly failed to leave."

"It\'s ok. Your boss is now capable enough to connect our places with a pair of teleportation formations. So long as you can convince them to agree to it, it will be much easier for us brothers to keep in touch," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"That won\'t be a problem. After my return, they won\'t be able to make choices on my behalf any longer," said Little White confidently. "Boss, if you have the time, can you come somewhere with me?"

"I\'ll gladly go anywhere with you," agreed Xiang Shaoyun without even asking about the place.

"Um. It is a rather dangerous place. Other demonic beasts won\'t be able to give me much help there. After thinking about it, I concluded that only you could help me, boss. Oh, you can bring that kid, Money, along as well. I believe that place will be beneficial for him," said Little White.

"When are we going?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

"There is no rush. We can go after you\'re done with all your business," said Little White.

"That\'ll be perfect. I\'ll go take a look at the Ziling Sect first. We can get going immediately after," said Xiang Shaoyun with a nod. He then looked at Liu Qingchen and said, "Qingchen, you\'re on the verge of a breakthrough. I think you should take a trip back to the Great Han Dynasty, which is probably the best place you can choose for your breakthrough. Let\'s end our agreement here too."

"What are you saying, boss? I, Liu Qingchen, am not someone to go back on my word. How can I do something like breaking my promise?" exclaimed Liu Qingchen.

After losing a fair fight against Xiang Shaoyun, he had been keeping to his promise to follow Xiang Shaoyun for 100 years. It hadn\'t been long since then, yet Xiang Shaoyun was proposing to cancel the agreement. For anyone else, that would be good news, but Liu Qingchen was someone who took honor very seriously. He did not need any leniency on something he had promised himself.

"Qingchen, after spending so long together, I consider you a brother. The agreement was merely something that came out from the heat of the moment. You\'re the fifth prince of the Great Han Dynasty, someone with a noble identity. You should return where you belong. Chaos is unfolding all over the world. Instead of staying by my side, you should be with your people. I believe you will grow into the strongest person in the Great Han Dynasty. Our separation would not be an end to our friendship," said Xiang Shaoyun earnestly.

There was no doubting Liu Qingchen\'s talent and strength. However, Xiang Shaoyun viewed the world with a different breadth of mind nowadays. In any case, only by releasing Liu Qingchen would he enable Liu Qingchen to grow even more.

"Boss, I disagree. I do not wish to become an oathbreaker!" refused Liu Qingchen.

"As the winner, I\'m the one calling the oath off. Since you\'re not the one breaking the oath, you don\'t need to worry about it. In any case, I no longer need you by my side. Leave," said Xiang Shaoyun firmly.

"Boss—" Liu Qingchen did not know what to say.

"Alright. This is where we part ways," Xiang Shaoyun interrupted Liu Qingchen with a wave of his hand before leaving rapidly with the others.

As Liu Qingchen looked at the departing Xiang Shaoyun, his heart was filled with gratitude. He called out in Xiang Shaoyun\'s direction, "Boss, we\'re forever brothers!"

Xiang Shaoyun had long won Liu Qingchen\'s heart with his strength. The longer Liu Qingchen stayed with Xiang Shaoyun, the more deep and unmeasurable Xiang Shaoyun seemed to him. Even when the two were in the same cultivation realm, he still found surpassing Xiang Shaoyun impossible.

That was why he had wholeheartedly stayed by Xiang Shaoyun\'s side. Of course, Xiang Shaoyun wasn\'t exactly happy to lose such a capable helper. However, a new era was coming. Only by freeing Liu Qingchen would Liu Qingchen be able to grow more quickly. Only then would Liu Qingchen be able to become one of the pillars of the dominion and gain the ability to help even more humans.

...

High above the Ziling Sect, the battle between Gods raged on. As a whole, the Jing Sect, Nangong Clan, and Divine Fist Sect were stronger than the Ziling Sect. However, Purple Lightning Marquis, Xiang Yangzhan, and the Holy Hall master were super experts capable of punching above their class. They were all strong enough to take on double their numbers. The three kept a majority of their enemies busy, alleviating the pressure on their companions.

Purple Lightning Marquis was the strongest of the lot. He could have quickly killed Nangong Shui, but a short individual called Liu Heijun had suddenly joined the fight. With his incredible strength, he had kept Nangong Shui alive.

Even so, the two still weren\'t Purple Lightning Marquis\'s match. They had been in a disadvantaged position throughout the fight. Meanwhile, Xiang Yangzhan was fighting Wu You and a fourth-stage God from the Jing Sect.

Damn it. I expected this to be an easy fight, but it was way harder than I expected, cursed Wu You inwardly. He called out to his companion, "Eighth brother, keep him busy. I\'ll finish him off."

"No problem," answered the fourth-stage God before going crazy on Xiang Yangzhan with all his strength.

"You\'re not even qualified to hold my shoes for me," said Xiang Yangzhan. He sent his lightning spear forth repeatedly, unleashing numerous domineering attacks that caused the fourth-stage God\'s body to crack apart.

If it wasn\'t for the fact that the fourth-stage God specialized in defense, he would have already died. Meanwhile, Wu You was busy accumulating strength. The sword intent around his body became thicker and thicker as a terrifying concentration of energy swirled around him, to the point a natural phenomenon was appearing around him.

"Regardless of whether you are Xiang Dingtian reincarnated, today is the day you die!" declared Wu You as he gathered all his strength into his sword. His sword intent surged, and golden strands rained from the sky as a godslaying slash descended from the sky.

The entire world shook. Terrifying sword intent flooded the world, threatening to shred the area into pieces. Not even air was immune to the destruction brought by the sword. This slash was the strongest attack of the Jing Sect\'s Sword Technique. It was truly an attack capable of shaking the world.

By the time Xiang Yangzhan sensed the attack, it was too late to dodge. He could only brace himself for the incoming attack. Several terrifying explosions erupted, leaving Xiang Yangzhan with numerous cuts on his body. He spilled a copious amount of blood, looking incomparably miserable.

"Time for you to go to the afterlife," said Wu You as he dashed toward Xiang Yangzhan\'s neck.

"Old fart, you dare lay your hands on my father? You\'re dead!" a voice suddenly rang out.
