《I Am Overlord》Chapter 716: Only Speed Is Undefeated
Advertisement
The yin wind devils relied on their insane speed to kill. They were capable of blending into the wind, moving and attacking with the power of wind. One could say that they had extremely deep comprehension of wind.
Xiang Shaoyun planned to accumulate his own comprehension through battling them. All these years, he always believed that only battle could improve his combat sense, and only combat could allow him to comprehend what he wanted to learn.
He charged right into the midst of the yin wind devils and pushed his wind power to his limits. At the same time, he unleashed his footwork intent and blended into the wind, greatly increasing his speed. In fact, his speed was now comparable to these yin wind devils.
Using his palms as blades, he unleashed powerful slashing attacks with both hands. The yin wind devils relied on their speed, but when Xiang Shaoyun matched their speed, they lost their advantage.
Their defenses were lacking, and once struck, they were completely helpless as they would either die or receive serious injuries. Even so, it wouldn't be easy to kill all of them. Numerous yin wind devils hastened their flying as they kept spitting dreadful wind attacks from their mouths, creating a complete mess out of their surroundings.
Incomparably sharp wind blades filled with the yin vicious energy were everywhere, making it extremely hard to avoid the attacks. Relying on his gift of instincts, Xiang Shaoyun dodged left and right, avoiding all the wind blades deftly. He charged through the cracks and launched his own attacks.
Many yin wind devils were present. When they all attacked, Xiang Shaoyun had a hard time blocking their bombardment. He fought with all his strength, fully experiencing their attacks.
As the fight dragged on, he suddenly grasped an aspect of the yin wind devil—speed. The yin win devil focused on speed and speed alone, reaching an unfathomable and unstoppable speed.

That was one aspect of the power of wind.
A saying suddenly emerged in Xiang Shaoyun's head: Of the numerous powers, only speed was undefeated.
Speed surpassing the limit, I can be even faster! Xiang Shaoyun roared inwardly.
With that thought in mind, he pushed his wind star with all his might and forced his footwork intent to its limit, deepening his understanding of the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps. Amid all the wind attacks, Xiang Shaoyun attempted to surpass his limits. It was the same feeling as when he first entered the limit rooms to train. Faced with a difficult task, so long as he could surpass his limits, he could complete the task.
Initially, he used his gift of instincts to keep moving between the openings of the attacks, but there were times when there were no openings and he was forced to defend with his Goldplates.
However, not even his Goldplates could withstand a round of the wind attacks. Numerous scars were left on his body as he was sent flying. He tried to get up only to be welcomed with a barrage of wind blades.
If he was struck, he would probably be reduced to pieces. He decided to throw caution to the wind and kicked countless hurricanes with both his legs, directly clashing with the wind blades.
Rumble! Rumble!
The collision was terrifying, sending Xiang Shaoyun flying yet again. Among the yin wind devils, there were late-stage Devil Emperors as well. It was already amazing of him to be able to actually block their attacks.
Speed, I need more speed! That was the only thought left in Xiang Shaoyun's mind.
He shot up from the ground and narrowed his eyes, focusing on the flow of the wind around him. Relying on his comprehension of footwork intent, he stepped into the wind flow, borrowed its power, and rode the wind.

Whoosh! Whoosh!
Instantly, he blended into the wind, moving freely and unfettered. A sensation rose in his heart, making him feel that he could reach anywhere with a single step. He reached the pinnacle of speed, an unbelievable speed giving him confidence that not even heaven and earth could bind his steps. He could go anywhere he wanted, free and unconstrained, the sky his domain.
He took a deft step forward, and with that one step, he dodged all the incoming wind blades. At the same time, he counterattacked with even stronger attacks. He sent out one wind blade after another, slaughtering one yin wind devil after another.
The more he fought, the more delightful he felt. At one point, he no longer felt any threat from the yin wind devils. He rode the wind and moved with the wind. The wind was everywhere, and he could borrow its power anywhere.
His comprehension of the profundity of wind continued growing. The wind could destroy everything. The wind could flatten everything. The wind could reach absolute speed. The wind could leisurely roam the heaven and the earth. Slow or fast, the wind would still be useful, as both were forms of wind.
Xiang Shaoyun sank into a mode of comprehension. He became one with the wind, surrounding himself with a massive amount of wind energy that turned him into a tornado. Similar to when he tried to get the yin devil wind in the past, the eye of the storm was the scariest place.
The yin wind devils were dragged in and turned into meat paste by the wind before they could do anything. By this point, the yin wind devil Sovereign that had remained silent finally noticed what was happening.
He gazed at Xiang Shaoyun and released a sinister and ruthless aura. He turned into a tornado as well and clashed into the tornado Xiang Shaoyun had formed. Xiang Shaoyun was in the midst of comprehension and had completely forgotten his surroundings. Thus, he was unaware that a yin wind devil Sovereign had appeared.
The two tornadoes collided, creating a world-shaking explosion. Numerous wind blades flew everywhere. Any zombie struck by a blade would instantly explode. The disruption forcefully woke Xiang Shaoyun from his state of comprehension.
When he noticed a seemingly unstoppable tornado coming at him, he was overjoyed, not alarmed. He calmed his mind and focused on manipulating his energy, gathering more wind around him as he clashed with the yin wind devil again and again.
At this moment, he had fully comprehended the profundity of wind. That was the only reason he could borrow an endless amount of wind power from this environment to contend with the yin wind devil Sovereign.
However, his opponent was much stronger than him. The wind power the yin wind devil gathered was also stronger, and after repeated collisions, the tornado around Xiang Shaoyun began collapsing. It was at that moment that Xiang Shaoyun released his innate purple lightning.
Wind and Lightning!
