Against The Gods
Chapter 216 – Victory

With a slash of his sword, he cut off Yun Che's strength. Then, as he pierced Yun Che's shoulder, the tip of Xiao Nan's lips curved slightly upwards. He was ten thousand percent certain that the moment this attack landed, Yun Che's shoulder would be easily pierced.

He felt his Wind Spirit Sword slicing the power produced by Yun Che, slicing the profound energy protecting his body and clothes, and then, he stabbed into his body. The curvature of his lips slowly grew larger, but a moment later, his expression completely stiffened.

As his Wind Spirit Sword pierced through his flesh, blood scattered from Yun Che's left shoulder. However, the Wind Spirit Sword also remained at that position, and was no longer able to break through half an inch deeper, as if half a finger thick there was an indestructible ten thousand year old iron!

What .... what is !? Xiao Nan was completely shocked, as if he was unable to believe his own supposition.

And Yun Che's counterattack was also happening at this moment. As his heavy sword moved, the surrounding air within a thirty meter range was stirred by a powerful horizontal swing. The violent airflow caused the hair all over Xiao Nan's body to stop. Without thinking, he pulled his sword out at his fastest speed, and leaped back with all his might, retreating for about thirty meters. Then, he panted heavily, as he looked at Yun Che's shoulder with a shocked expression.

On Yun Che's left shoulder, a hint of bloodstain slowly spread on his clothes, but this spread stopped a few seconds later. From the bloodstains, the injury did not look serious, and the wound had already stopped bleeding completely. He had almost put everything in that one attack, and an Earth Profound Weapon had even gotten used to coordinating with the attack. The wind Spirit Sword that was unceasingly sharp, when used to pierce through the head, even a giant stone, or steel, would be easily penetrated like a piece of tofu. However, this same sword did not pierce through his body, even his bones were untouched.

It was not just him; even the entire crowd, including Ling Wugou who had seen the entire exchange most clearly, had expressions filled with disbelief. All of them personally witnessed Xiao Nan's full attack stabbing Yun Che's body. As for the sharpness of the sword, even if its target were to protect itself with the defense of profound energy at the peak of the Spirit Profound, there was still a possibility of being penetrated. But Yun Che, who only had strength in the True Profound turned out to only have a mere flesh wound.

“What happened?” The smile on Xiao Kuangyun's face fell, and asked with a frown.

“... It's definitely because Yun Che is wearing armor! That's the only possible explanation! “Say Xiao Kuanglei.

Of course, Yun Che did not wear any armor on his body, and only had one thin layer of clothing. Although his profound energy defense was only at the True Profound, his body had the protection of the second stage of the Great Way of the Buddha and earlier, his body had, he had even absorbed the blood of the Dragon God within his body – It was not just the blood of an ordinary dragon, but the actual blood of the Dragon God! Right now, Yun Che had a part of the dragon bloodline strength and physical body strength, and was already in no way inferior to an actual Dragon, could an Earth Profound sword with profound energy in the Spirit Profound Realm be able to pierce through the body of a True Dragon?

Of course not!

Forget about Yun Che by using the profound energy of the True Profound Realm to protect his body, even if he did not have a layer of profound energy and only stood up while allowing Xiao Nan to attack him, Xiao Nan had to throw away the thought of injuring his body.

“Not a bad sword.” Yun Che glanced at the wound on his left shoulder with a calm expression, and said in a complimenting tone. This attack, too, gave him a voice warning. One of the main reasons why the four Main Sects were big and powerful, was because of the Profound Art within their sect. Although this Xiao Nan before him was considered to be at the bottom in terms of strength among the participating disciples of the Four Major Sects, he was definitely not careless. If not for the strong defense that his body possessed, if it was someone else, that person would have suffered greatly from the attack.

Without a word, Yun Che stepped forward, and swung his sword.

Following the footsteps of the sword, as if the air waves were given their true form, space slightly distorted as the air waves charged towards Xiao Nan. Xiao Nan quickly regained his senses from the previous shock, staring directly at the approaching waves and slashing out his Wind Spirit Sword in quick succession, produced a storm of heavy sword silhouettes to immediately scatter the incoming air burst … But Xiao Nan needed to slash a total of over twenty times to completely disperse the power created by one of Yun Che's simple attacks. This truth, once again tightened Xiao Nan's heart.

In the previous two rounds of the small group match, he had once noticed Yun Che's match, and had only slightly insulted every sect disciple that Yun Che had easily defeated.

And now, after fighting him, he understood clearly why those people would always be defeated so quickly … Because now he understood that a terrifying tribulation was hidden in every single simple sword attack of Yun Che.

He had only exchanged a few blows with Yun Che, but the successive shock he received had already caused the mental barrier within his mind to immediately collapse. He once again looked at Yun Che and the gigantic pitch-black sword in his terrifying hand, “victory was basically impossible” that sort of thought quickly grew in his heart.

“Hawk of the Storm!!”

Xiao Nan took a deep breath, and the sword energy began to slide to the peak of the Wind Spirit Sword; each energy was like a sharp steel needle capable of piercing deep into one's bones. He howled long, jumped high into the air, and attacked Yun Che's head with his sword. Yun Che did not even try to dodge or dodge the attack and simply held back the Wind Spirit Sword that came with his sword swing …

Booms!

The air waves that the heavy sword was carrying actually carried a tempestuous explosive sound. Although Xiao Nan had personally experienced the terror of Yun Che's airwaves, he was still extremely frightened. A green light flashed on his body, and with a quick twist of his body, he shifted his direction to Yun Che's feet. However, like a shadow, Yun Che's heavy sword quickly attacked, forcing Xiao Nan to have no other choice but to retreat at full strength, and barely escape the danger.

Xiao Nan was firmly convinced that if he was swept away by the hurricane caused by his opponent's heavy sword, escaping with a heavy wound was the most likely!

From that terrifying heavy sword attack, Xiao Nan could imagine just how heavy the heavy sword was. And when holding such a large sword, the user's movements would be slow, the gap and energy consumption would be huge. So, the best tactic against him would naturally be to use speed to fight back and find a gap to use the ultimate attack.

Xiao Nan's energy attributes are “Angin” and “Petir”, and between the two, he trains “Angin” the most. “Heavenly Eagle Art” is a type of Profound Art that allows users to get a big boost in their physical speed. Originally, Xiao Nan had used his Profound Skill moves and light and fast sword techniques to deal with Yun Che. However he soon realized that even when Yun Che was holding such a heavy sword, his speed was not even inferior to the one he had, even as he activated his profound skill movement, but even the speed of his sword was completely above him. Although he was unable to produce a few slashes in an instant, from releasing his sword completely and releasing his sword escape back, all of this happened in a short period of time, it caused people to feel that there were basically no slight signs of weight in the sword.

Xiao Nan attacked dozens of times, and they were all forced to retreat by Yun Che's casual swing. Not only was his attack ineffective, Xiao Nan had to repeatedly retreat tiredly, so there was no danger of falling into his body.

“Heavenly Eagle Limitless Strike!”

Xiao Nan leaped high into the air, the silhouette of an eagle appeared behind him, and with an air strike, he charged towards Yun Che's chest … This was the attack he had used before to spread out an explosion of Yun Che's strength. In his heart, he knew very clearly, the reason why he had managed to punch Yun Che the first time was due to the element of surprise, and the second time would not be as effective as the first. However, the longer he faced Yun Che, the more he felt a feeling of helplessness in his heart. All he could rely on was this attack.

RIIIP ~

The Wind Spirit Sword sliced through the air and sliced space apart, giving rise to ear-piercing screams as it attacked. This was an attack capable of even slicing out bursts of energy. Since he had previously experienced it, Yun Che had to dodge it immediately, and counterattack from the side. However, Yun Che was still standing in his original position without any intention to dodge. He loudly raised the Overlord Sword, and said indifferently. “Why don't you try slicing this attack !!”

In this attack, Yun Che used sixty percent of his strength. If we call the attack a terrible storm, this attack is an absolute storm. With Xiao Nan's strength, he was able to cut through the attack. However, when faced with a typhoon, being ripped off was the only possible conclusion.

The power of the Wind Spirit Sword was completely dissipated in an instant and a trembling humming sound was generated by his sword. Xiao Nan's expression paled. His body that was swooping down suddenly spun and turned around as he wildly poured out all the energy in his body, yet he was still unable to fully defend himself from the force inflicted by Yun Che's attack. His profound defense weakened bit by bit, and eventually, they completely collapsed. The power of the energy that had yet to be dissipated, exploded into his body, and caused his entire body to tremble violently.

Xiao Nan landed on the ground thirty meters away. His face was completely pale, and a mouthful of blood came out as it slowly slid down from the corner of his lips.

At that moment, the entire arena was in silence, and the six people from the Xiao Sect stood up with terrifying faces.

Yun Che did not take the opportunity to do another punch, and just stood in his original position .. And at this moment, everyone was shocked to realize that during this match, the, both his legs were in the same position the entire time, and did not move in the slightest !!

Xiao Nan's expression was extremely frightening as he panted. However, on the other hand, Yun Che's breathing was steady, and his calm expression was unbroken. He did not look tired at all. The corner of Xiao Nan's lips moved, and in the end, his hand still drooped to the ground …

“You are much stronger than I imagined .. I admit defeat.” Xiao Nan said sadly.

“You are a little stronger than I imagined as well.” Yun Che smiled slightly, glancing at the wound on his left shoulder.

Hearing Yun Che's words, Xiao Nan actually had a feeling of satisfaction in her heart, and even the sadness of her tragic defeat had subsided a little. He raised his head, and smiled at Yun Che.

“Xiao Nan surrender. The Blue Wind-Yun Che Imperial Family won .. He will enter the preliminary round of 16 tomorrow! “

When this result came out, the Sword Discourse Arena that was silent for a period of time, was once again replaced by a frenzy. Each pair of eyes stared at Yun Che, who was safely walking down the stage, until their eyes became vertical! This person, who had the weakest profound strength of all the participating disciples there, had once again easily defeated Sect disciple Xiao and entered the top sixteenth!

“Brother Nan, don't be sad. If he doesn't wear high-ranking armor, you will definitely win with your second strike. Unfortunately, I belong to group Two, otherwise, I might be able to take revenge for you. “Xiao Kuanglei patted Xiao Nan on the shoulder, and comforted her.

“No.” Xiao Nan shook his head. “She doesn't wear armor at all. He had basically been holding the attack completely with his own body. His body, as if it were made of steel! “

“What !?” Xiao Kuanglei frowned. He made eye contact with Xiao Kuangyu and the two revealed shocked expressions.

“ Junior Brother Yun, are you okay? Is your wound bad? “As Yun Che descended, Cang Yue approached to greet him with an expression full of worry and anxiety. In his hand, he held a large amount of medicine and Profound Recovery Pellet, which he had prepared beforehand.

“I'm fine.” Yun Che laughed without a care. “It's just a flesh wound, and it's already stopped bleeding. It does not need to be treated with any medicine, it will fully recover before sunset. “

These words are clearly not excessive. Ever since he reached the second stage of the Great Way of the Buddha, a light wound like this would recover in a sufficient level in just a few minutes.

However, Cang Yue was certainly not free from his worries so easily. Finally, Yun Che was still dragged to the side. He carefully used the medicine in the wound and wrapped a roll of bandages around it.

In the Sword Discourse Arena, the second match had already begun.

The two competitors were respectively, Ling Jie of the Heavenly Sword Villa and Mu Xiongyi of the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress. The former was at the sixth level of Spirit Profound, while the latter was at the eighth level of Spirit Profound. Based on the level of profound strength alone, the latter was the strongest disciple outside the Four Great Sects!
