Against The Gods
Chapter 74 – Burst

The lightning sword attack that would determine victory had actually been missed, which also ruined his plan of killing Yun Che in a single blow. Lu Zhannan was extremely shocked in her heart. He quickly turned around without pause, and the long sword swept straight towards Yun Che.

The spear had the advantage of a spear, so naturally, the sword also had its own advantages. The suppression of the spear was incomparable, yet the ferocity of the sword was unparalleled. Together with the power of the sword, Lu Zhannan carried a powerful aura from the turbulent storm; and as if it was a stream of light, the sword flew towards Yun Che's chest.

Yun Che had an indifferent expression; his body casually leaned a small diagonal step back, and easily dodged Lu Zhannan's second sword attack. Only the sound * riiip* sounded; like a silver shark coming out of thin ice, a deep moat was carved from the floor of the Main Palace in the direction the sword pointed.

The power behind this sword attack made several disciples gasp.

“Lu Zhannan did not hold back in the slightest; moreover, both sword attacks were aimed at vital signs ... She would obviously kill! ”

"To kill people inside the New Moon Palace, the only one who dared to do so might be this Lu Zhannan. However, if this were to happen, this Yun Che might really be finished here. ”

Qin Wuyou sat on the main seat of the Main Palace as he watched the battle between Yun Che and Lu Zhannan with a calm gaze. Although Sikong Han continued to shoot him with a meaningful gaze in the hope that he would use the status of the Palace Head to stop the unfair battle between the two who were on completely different levels, it was not that fair, it was as if Qin Wuyou had not noticed Sikong Han's intentions at all; he also had no intention to stop the battle, which left Sikong Han with no choice but to just worry helplessly.

As Qin Wuyou watched Yun Che, his heart swayed for a long time .. This youngster, he indeed only possesses profound strength from the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm. However, at the moment he attacked, the huge wave of his profound strength was overwhelming; what was really going on here? Is he hiding his true strength? Impossible, if I can't even see the strength of the junior generation properly, isn't the dozen years I've been through, a waste?

His strength was enough to stir up an uproar in New Moon City when he had defeated Tie Hengjun with his age and condition. If he also wins against this Lu Zhannan …. Then, this fight that I witnessed before my eyes, might suddenly become the resurrection of the 'Tahta' of the future! (TL: Someone at the Realm Emperor Realm in Blue Wind Empire)

He looked extremely arrogant from the start, and was even a bit too arrogant and conceited. But is it really his true nature? When he was dealing with Tie Hengjun, he had a very different attitude. Very arrogant people were usually impatient and agitated, but his aura and gaze were always too calm; so calm that it should not have emerged from the body of a sixteen year old youngster. As a person who had this kind of gaze and aura; how could he possibly be such a wild prideful person ….

The only explanation, then, is that the various attitudes and attitudes of arrogance from the beginning, were all done deliberately …. Even including anger and provoking the seven great sects; they were all intentional!

Since he decided to enter this New Moon Profound Palace while also deliberately provoking the seven great sects, what exactly was his goal?

Qing Wuyou's mind continued to spin, yet his vision locked tightly onto Yun Che the entire time, as he projected an admiration that was impossible to hide.

The current Yun Che, was already drawn into the shadow of Lu Zhannan's sword.

Lu Zhannan's sword became faster and faster. There was clearly only one sword in his hand but it swung as many as several dozen shadow swords covering the sky. One could not discern which sword shadows were real, and which sword shadows were illusory. However, within the terrifying sword shadows, Yun Che's body continued to sway and shift continuously. The sword was like a tempest, but it did not leave even the slightest wound on Yun che's body.

This undoubtedly implied, that Yun Che's body movement speed was even faster than Lu Zhannan's sword !!

All the disciples in the palace became stunned watching this. When Lu Zhannan entered the stage, they all thought that Yun Che was done. Under Lu Zhannan's hand, Yun Che's most likely result was a one-second defeat. Lu Zhannan also did not disappoint anyone; any sword attack that left her hand, could all be considered outstanding …. However, until now, he had almost successively whipped out his sword nearly a hundred times, but was still unable to even touch the corner of Yun Che's clothes.

Every time Lu Zhannan swung her sword, Yun Che's body would immediately shift in the next one; and at any moment, Lu Zhannan's sword could only pierce her shadow. What Yun Che exhibited was the "Shadow of Broken Star Gods" by a very small margin; with all of the Fifty Four Profound Veins opened, the, it can be released instantly quickly while keeping the deep energy consumption very low. However, there was a absolutely necessary prerequisite .. That is, that Yun Che should have quite a sharp perceptive ability; he should be able to judge the trajectory of the sword once Lu Zhannan unleashed her sword.

The disciples in the palace were silent for a long time; what they received after waiting was not the miserable defeat of Yun Che, but another surprise. After staring for a long time when stunned, Sikong daydreamed muttering to himself: "No wonder .. He actually used the air currents to understand! However, in the early period of deep cultivation, the eyes should be the main method to understand. To be able to analyze and sense by using the aura of profound energy and air currents, one needed to at least accumulate a dozen years of combat experience … One must be at least twenty-five or older to be able to achieve this! There was absolutely no young disciple present who could do this. Yun Che was obviously only sixteen years old, but he was already able to achieve it in such a way! Moreover, he did so easily; even in the middle of the sword shadow cage, he was still calm, and dodged without the slightest margin of error! ”

"Xiao Lie …. Exactly what method did she use to raise such a strange grandson !! ”

Line after line of sword flashes sliced into his body; amidst Yun Che's swift dodges, he felt a faint pain of sharp sword aura eroding his face and arms. At this moment, Jasmine's warning tone of voice suddenly came from her mind: “You must end the battle quickly. This is your first time using Evil Soul, and you are actually fighting consecutively; it is too stressful. You should also feel a load on your body and deep blood vessels. With your current condition, most Evil Souls can be sustained for thirty seconds. Longer than that, your deep blood vessels will have a chance of being severely damaged. ”

The inside of Yun Che's heart suddenly, slightly trembled.

"You piece of trash, do you only know how to dodge?" As his over a hundred sword strikes did not even injure a single strand of Yun Che's hair, confused and irritated, Lu Zhannan grew increasingly nervous as she roared low.

Under his vexation, Lu Zhannan's profound strength crazily swelled from all over his body as the strength behind his sword became increasingly violent. Under the sweeping sword shadows, it was as if an extremely sharp gust of wind was blowing inside the Main Palace; the marble floor was continuously cut off and shattered by the sword aura, and sent scattering by the wind of the sword.

It was as if Lu Zhannan's words were effective; her next sword attack was thrust downwards, but Yun Che did not choose to dodge using his strange movement skill impeccably anymore. Instead, he suddenly approached to face his sword blade, and forcibly attacked his body.

Died!!

Lu Zhannan's longsword ruthlessly sliced through Yun Che's left arm, and the attack undoubtedly splashed blood. However, when he saw the bloody lacerations he had cut on Yun Che's arm, Lu Zhannan was not too excited, but instead shocked…. Since the sword attack was filled with profound energy from level seven of the nascent Profound Realm, it actually only cut a wound into his body; let alone cut off his entire arm, even his bones had not been touched!

The profound strength in Yun Che's body, was undoubtedly only at the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm!

As Yun Che took out his sword head, his right fist which was filled with all his strength, also smashed into Lu Zhannan's chest fiercely.

Bang !!

Could it be for the profound strength at the first level of the Nascent Realm to break through the profound energy of protective opponents at the seventh level of the Nascent Realm Realm?

Lu Zhannan was originally only going to ignore Yun Che's attack, but then, the look on her face suddenly changed greatly.

The protective profound energy of his chest did not even last half a breath, and was immediately shattered. Lu Zhannan felt her chest instantly shattered by the heavy hammer that weighed five hundred kilograms. His innards fell violently when he consecutively retreated seven or eight steps, and nearly fell to the ground.

Impossible! He clearly possessed the profound strength of a first ranker in the Nascent Profound Realm! Even if its profound strength was much thicker than that of the same level, it would at most be able to match the third or fourth level; however I am, I am, I myself am more than half a stronger territory! How could it be possible for me to be such a shame after one of his attacks, when I couldn't even cut through his profound protective energy?

His mind was in turmoil as his intention to kill rose even higher. Just as he was about to use the Seven Deadly Sword Pavilion's strongest skill, he suddenly saw Yun Che extending his right hand towards him, while showing a strange smile on his face.

"Burst !!" The five open fingers of Yun Che facing Lu Zhannan suddenly clasped tightly, as a muffled word came out of his mouth.

Just as everyone was perplexed by his actions and words, they suddenly heard a voice *fwoosh* coming from Lu Zhannan's body. Right after, Lu Zhannan's shrill screams of pain rang out throughout the entire Main Palace.

"L !!"

A fireball suddenly surged out from Lu Zhannan's chest, which was also where Yun Che had struck her. The flesh, bones, and even nearby organs were all enveloped into a burning flame. Lu Zhannan sadly fell to the ground as both of her hands desperately patted and slapped in an attempt to extinguish the "demon fire" that came from who knew where. However, this fire ignited from the profound energy that Yun Che had poured into the inside of his chest; unless he tore his own chest, there was no chance it could be extinguished.

Even to make someone with the nickname "Cold Blooded" shout like this, one could imagine the pain he was enduring right now. Not to mention the flames burning within one's body, being burned by flames was already difficult to endure for ordinary people. The skin of everyone in the Main Palace changed; some turned pale, some became hideous, and some even started shivering from head to toe.

"It's a fire ... Fire attributes an Enormous Art! He could actually also use profound arts of the fire attribute !! ”

"My heaven! Wasn't this a long-range ignition of depth that could only be achieved within the higher fire realm that connected profound arts? Not only did this Yun Che possess the attribute of profound fire arts, he had suddenly, already reached this state …. He was obviously only sixteen! How could this happen! "

“So that's why! No wonder Yan Ming was so struck before, it was not a low-level mistake at all; it was because Yun Che also had a profound fire attribute art, though, and he was clearly much better than Yan Ming! In order for Yan Ming to play fire against him, he had actually dug his own grave! ”As they watched the flames burst from Lu Zhannan's chest, many returned to their senses from shock.

And Yan Ming, who had been defeated by Yun Che earlier, became as confused as the wooden chicken. The long-range ignition of profound energy was an ability that could be achieved with his sect profound arts only when one had cultivated it to the sixth realm; he did not even dare to think of achieving it before the age of thirty. However, Yun Che had done so, and was undeniably displaying it right before everyone's eyes. At this moment, he truly understood that his loss did not bring the slightest bit of injustice. To play with fire against anomalies that could ignite the energy within.It actually showed off one's axe skills in front of a master carpenter, and asked to be humiliated.

After being attacked, if only Lu Zhannan did not immediately grit her teeth and reassemble her strength to regain her "momentum" but instead, immediately forced out the profound energy Yun Che had crushed into her body, the results must have been undeniably different. However, even though Lu Zhannan was blown back with just a single blow from Yun Che's fist, she was still unwilling to acknowledge Yun Che's strength; she was even more, it was unexpected that Yun Che actually possessed such a powerful ability to control fire.

Yun Che walked beside his feet, looked at him with a look of pity, and spoke in an indifferent tone: "As I said before, I don't have the slightest interest in your name anymore. Someone with strength at the seventh level of the Nascent Profound Realm, could not even defeat the first soldier of the Nascent Profound Realm; this kind of trash, I don't need to know at all. ”

After he finished speaking, he lightly flicked his finger as he smiled with disdain. The nightmare fire on Lu Zhannan's chest finally extinguished.

Against people he hated, Yun Che did not mind adding insult to their injuries at all; moreover, this Lu Zhannan also had the intention to kill him. If it was not under the supervision of everyone within this New Moon Profound Palace Main Palace, he would never be good enough to put out the flames on Lu Zhannan's body.
