Chapter 281: Time to Send You Off

Equipped in a crimson armor and wielding the Blazing Saber in his hand, Huo Linfei stood before Xiang Shaoyun and blocked his path. He was surrounded by a raging column of flame that seemed to reach the heavens, looking like a god of flame.

"Hehe, you really don't know what's good for you," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Come. You had injured the men of the Lightning Alliance. Today is the day we settle the grudge," said Huo Linfei before lifting his saber and slashing at Xiang Shaoyun.

Raging Skyburner!

Huo Linfei used all his strength from the very start. An odd flame raged around his saber as his saber energy shot out and transformed into a fiery tsunami that crashed down at Xiang Shaoyun.

One ought to admit that Huo Linfei indeed had incredible combat prowess. He wouldn't have been able to become the vice alliance leader of the Lightning Alliance otherwise. With the combat prowess he was displaying, he was comparable to even War Kings.

That technique had indeed caught Xiang Shaoyun by surprise, but he was still able to pull out from the wave at the last second like an unpredictable phantom.

That was the prowess of the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps—capable of crossing worlds with a single step. Xiang Shaoyun had spent the past two years slowly tempering himself and learning more about the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps through the numerous battles he had undergone. He had slowly come to comprehend the essence of the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps.

After escaping the attack, Xiang Shaoyun no longer held back. He appeared behind Huo Linfei and started clawing madly with his Seven Scorching Sun Claws. Huo Linfei had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun would actually be able to escape his attack and counterattack so quickly. He quickly turned around and started resisting the incoming attacks with his saber
