I Am Overlord

Chapter 1409: What's the Point of Pretending to Be Me?

When Xiang Shaoyun heard the crowd talking about his feats, a bright smile formed on his face as the tiny bit of worry he had in his heart was cleared.

Looking at the crowd that was still discussing him enthusiastically, he smiled and said, "Everyone, I'm Xiang Shaoyun."

The moment he said that, the crowd looked at him. Dressed in a black outfit and seated in a confident posture, Xiang Shaoyun flashed a bright smile that sent all the women in the restaurant into a reverie.

Unfortunately, someone immediately berated him, "If you're Xiang Shaoyun, I'm lord guardian. What a shameless kid."

Someone else said, "That's right. Recently, countless pretty boys have been pretending to be Xiang Shaoyun to deceive young women. You do look quite handsome, but that's all you are. A pretty boy. Are you not ashamed of pretending to be Xiang Shaoyun?"

The crowd started scolding Xiang Shaoyun one after another, giving him the urge to dig a hole to hide in. How did he become a fake Xiang Shaoyun? Even so, he did not mind their words due to his good mood. He continued drinking and eating.

At this time, a voice rang out from outside the restaurant, "I heard someone was pretending to be me in this restaurant. Let me see with my own eyes just who has the nerves to do so."

A handsome person walked through the door. Beside him were two beautiful women. Instantly, he became the center of attention. That young man did look decent. Like Xiang Shaoyun, he was dressed in black. His long, black hair cascaded down his shoulders while his eyes emanated a gloomy aura. He even had a rune on his forehead, a rune that greatly resembled the Imperial Nether Clan's rune. In his hand was a black fan, and his entire body radiated a unique aura that also resembled devilish energy.

Xiang Shaoyun looked at the man curiously as he thought, My horizons have been broadened. This guy does resemble me.historical

He had not imagined that a day would come when people would pretend to be him. But this person was seemingly going way overboard in his disguise. The people in the restaurant all believed that the newcomer was Xiang Shaoyun. After all, the newcomer resembled the legendary Xiang Shaoyun too much.

"This must be the actual Xiang Shaoyun. He truly looks extraordinary."

"That's right. Look at that rune on his forehead. That is the rune unique to the Imperial Nether Clan. No ordinary person can have something like that."

"The kid from earlier is going to suffer. Now that he has encountered the real Xiang Shaoyun, he will either be killed or crippled."

"It is rumored that Xiang Shaoyun can kill even Great Saints. It is truly lucky of us to be able to set our eyes on someone like him."

...

The fake Xiang Shaoyun walked inside the restaurant with the two women. His eyes emanated a heavy pressure that only someone at the Sovereign Realm could release. Apart from Xiang Shaoyun, nobody in the restaurant had reached that realm. None of them could sense that the newcomer was a fake Xiang Shaoyun. All of them were certain that the real Xiang Shaoyun was fake.

Under the crowd's guidance, the fake Xiang Shaoyun's gaze landed on Xiang Shaoyun. He walked up to Xiang Shaoyun and shouted, "Kid, you dare pretend to be me? How brave of you! Drop to your knees and kowtow to this overlord. If I'm happy, I'll consider sparing your life."

"Are you sure you're Xiang Shaoyun?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

"Audacious! You dare question me?" berated the fake Xiang Shaoyun. He unleashed his aura and pressed it down on Xiang Shaoyun. With his Sovereign Realm cultivation, he could suppress everyone in Wind City. Thus, he had the strength to convince the majority of the people in the city that he was Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun's fame was too high and was the perfect name one could use to court the ladies as of late. After all, not anyone could be the disciple of a lord guardian. The people in the restaurant retreated one after another upon sensing the fake Xiang Shaoyun's aura. They were prepared to enjoy the good show that was about to unfold.

Meanwhile, the real Xiang Shaoyun remained completely unaffected. He looked at the two women flanking the fake Xiang Shaoyun and asked, "Both of you believe he's Xiang Shaoyun as well? Have you been lied to?"

The two beauties blanked out slightly. One of them, a woman in yellow, said in an uncertain manner, "He should be telling the truth, right?"

"Dearest Huang Yiyi, of course I won't lie to you. Just you wait. I'll teach this kid a lesson with my devilish power. You will see for yourself whether I'm lying or not," said the fake Xiang Shaoyun as he slammed his palm down toward Xiang Shaoyun's head. His attack was ruthless, clearly aiming for Xiang Shaoyun's life.

Just as the palm was about to land, Xiang Shaoyun moved. Nobody could see his movement. All everyone could see was a chopstick piercing through the palm.

"Ahhh!"

The fake Xiang Shaoyun grabbed his bloody palm and wailed in pain. As a third-stage Sovereign, he had never expected to have his palm penetrated by a chopstick. After all, not even regular emperor-grade weapons could harm him. He finally realized that he had encountered a terrifyingly strong young man.

Retreat!

The fake Xiang Shaoyun decisively decided to retreat. He didn't even dare to say anything else. Only by fleeing would he perhaps be able to preserve his life. However, would Xiang Shaoyun allow him to flee? With a casual wave of his hand, Xiang Shaoyun grabbed the fake Xiang Shaoyun and smashed the fake Xiang Shaoyun's head into the table.

Boom!

The table shattered into pieces. Everyone in the restaurant was stunned. The whole situation had reversed so fast that they couldn't even react. Wasn't Xiang Shaoyun a Great Saint killer? Why was he being beaten so easily? At this point, even an idiot could see that this was a fake Xiang Shaoyun.

"What's the point of pretending to be me?" said Xiang Shaoyun with a sneer.

"R-release me, or the Devil Cultivating Sect won't spare you!" threatened the fake Xiang Shaoyun.

"Devil Cultivating Sect? What in the world is that?" asked Xiang Shaoyun doubtfully. His energy rushed into the fake Xiang Shaoyun's body and crippled the fake Xiang Shaoyun's cultivation.

Someone like this deserved death. He was already being lenient by only crippling the imposter. The fake Xiang Shaoyun wailed incessantly while Xiang Shaoyun casually tossed the fake Xiang Shaoyun out of the restaurant as though he was tossing some trash out.

He left some spirit crystals on the table and said, "Boss, I'll pay for the damages."

He then vanished into thin air.
