The Resurrecting Overlord

As Dong Xian dreamed of Currencies, he neglected that Yi Lian was seating next to him. Yi Lian noticed he was drooling from his lips and was disgusted by him. She pinched Dong Xian roughly twice. Dong Xian woke up from his daydream and sat upright on his soft and comfortable chair. Everyone turned their heads to look at him. He stared back while wiping his drool while saying, "I was drooling because of the food. Why are you people staring at me?"

Everyone felt aggrieved at him saying so. They wanted to shout, "Stop lying! Before the food came you were already drooling. What so you disrespected us by wiping your drool while talking to us!" Their blood were boiling but they could not do anything. After all, Yi Lian was related to him. They could die from offending her.

However, did Dong Xian care about their inner thoughts? He did not give a hoot about them at all as he tore into the food like a hungry wolf. Everyone was starting to get disgusted by him eating with his mouth full. Even Yi Lian advised him, "You should not behave like this! At least behave like a gentleman while eating." Dong Xian still continued doing what he did, shoving food inside his mouth. He could not help it at all. After not tasting food for so long, and delicious food was plated in front, who would not go mad?

At this point, someone kicked down the door of the manor. No one could see who it was. It was as if the person was a shadow. The shadow flew at the banquet as people took notice of the person. Daggers flew out from the person's wrist with a flick. Most guests who were at 4-dan Body Purification were killed immediately by the daggers. Only Dong Xian's family, Yi Lian, and a few 7-dan Qi Expansion guests survived. Dong Xian had already received a notice about murderous intention earlier from the system, so he easily dodged the daggers thrown. He still felt fear as he was in actual fact still only at 3-dan. If he was a second later, he could have died! What was a person like that doing here?

The person flew at Dong Xian after he dodged the daggers. Dong Xian looked seriously at the person. The face was covered with a purple mask and wraps around their body. He decided to take a stand against the person. With the person's speed, he could not outrun them even with Soul Foundations active. He felt blood being pumped faster around his body. The person had a curved dagger held in hand as Dong Xian clenched his fists. He could not afford to lose concentration now. He did not want to spend more time in the astral plane again.

He decided to use Soul Foundations against the person. As Dong Xian swung a hook, his fist only brushed past the person's cheek, but the dagger in the person's hand disappeared and reappeared in Dong Xian's c.h.e.s.t. He staggered to the ground powerlessly, as his vision slowly started to fade away. The speed had been too fast to catch up, but the last thing he saw was Yi Lian fighting with the assassin, and people shaking him and crying. His vision blurred as he slowly faded away.
