Chapter 73 – Proudly Battling Lu Zhannan
“No, it’s you who came to challenge me.”
That person’s expression and eyes were permeated with extreme disdain, and in the face of such a look and stance, Yun Che’s eyebrows slightly raised, and his eyes became dangerous.
Who challenged whom, this was naturally not the same concept. Because a challenge can only be the weak challenging the strong, a loss is a loss, and a win can take the place of the strong. And the strong against the weak, it was not called a challenge, but rather a battle of strength and bullying.
In just a few words, they had already gone toe-to-toe. And the atmosphere of the great hall had quietly changed.
“Heh heh heh.” That person faintly laughed, his figure shifted, a few simple steps, but he strangely took a distance of several dozen meters and stood in front of Yun Che, a cold light of indifference shining through the narrowed slits of his eyes, “Since that’s the case, I’ll make it happen for you. I’ve strangled countless geniuses, and it seems that today, there’s going to be one more.”
“Lu …… Lu Zhannan!!!” When he appeared in the center of the hall, many disciples immediately lost control of their emotions and shouted out his name.
“That person …… seems to be Lu Coldblood of the Seven Slaughter Sword Pavilion?”
“That’s right! It’s him! Yun Che wants to fight him? This this this …… two people’s strengths are simply not on the same level ah! Moreover, this man’s name ‘Lu Coldblood’ wasn’t called for nothing! Fighting him …… Yun Che doesn’t want to be killed!”
There was a chaotic burst of whispers in the great hall, because the two people standing relatively in the center of the great hall at this moment, no one had ever envisioned that there would be a time when they would cross paths. Because they could be said to be two people on two planes …… Yun Che was sixteen years old, while Lu Zhannan was already eighteen years old! After the age of thirty, a difference of a few years between the ages of the two sides was absolutely no problem, because at that age, the accumulation of Xuan Power was already secondary, and the key depended on talent. If you have enough talent, you can break through the True Xuan Spirit Xuan, but if you don’t have enough talent, you might be stuck at the bottleneck of True Xuan for the rest of your life, unable to break through.
But before the age of twenty, it is the key period of accumulation of xuan power, not to mention a year, half a year difference, xuan power will have a big gap. For example, sixteen years of age into the Xuan realm level, in the Crescent City young generation is considered to be the top talent, but also a large number, but fifteen years of age into the Xuan realm level, that is the top level of genius, the entire Crescent City will not be more than five people. Before the age of twenty, the age of one step in the sky is by no means an exaggeration.
Therefore, matches before the age of twenty were generally between people of the same age, otherwise it was extremely unfair.
Yun Che and this Lu Zhannan were two whole years apart! And Lu Zhannan’s Xuan power was even as high as the seventh level of the Xuan Realm! Regardless of age or Xuan power, they were both equivalent to two realms! When they fought with each other, it could not be called a “contest” at all, it could only be reduced to a one-sided suppression!
Under the age difference, even if Lu Zhaonan’s skin was thicker, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to go on the field. However, right now, it was clear that Yun Che was taking the initiative to battle Lu Zhannan, and that was a different concept, if Lu Zhannan did not respond to the battle, did it not mean that he was afraid of Yun Che!
In everyone’s opinion …… Yun Che’s victories over Xuan Yu, Yan Ming, and Feng Guangyi were bullish, and his victory over Tie Hengjun was bullish to the point of being perverted, whereas provoking eighteen year old Lu Zhannan, who was at the seventh level of the Xuan Realm …… was purely looking for abuse after having enough to eat!
Entry Xuan realm level one versus entry Xuan realm level seven, a whole half realm difference! This is a huge gap that can’t be bridged in any way, how can we fight?
The disciples on the side of the seven sects gloated. Taking the initiative to provoke Lu Zhaonan? That’s just asking for death! Lu Zhannan’s nickname was “Lu Coldblood”, his heart was cold and merciless, and when he fought with others, he was bound to see blood, and if Yun Che fought with him, losing the battle would be the second most important thing, and having an arm or palm cut off would be light.
The Elders of the Crescent Moon Xuanfu were all in a state of shock. They were well aware of what kind of goods this Lu Zhaonan was, and if Yun Che fought with him, there was a high possibility that he would be destroyed by Lu Zhaonan, and as a result, the Crescent Moon Xuanfu would surely lose a genius that was hard to come by in a hundred years. Sikong Han quickly winked at Lan Xueruo, but before he could transmit his voice to Lan Xueruo, Lan Xueruo had already stood up first and quickly stepped in front of Yun Che, saying, ”Junior Brother Yun, I’ll take this battle. He’s two years older than you, and it’s simply not suitable for a sparring match between you two.”
Yun Che, however, shook his head and said with a confident expression, “There’s no need, against this kind of goods, there’s no need for Senior Sister to make a move, even though I’m two years younger than him, it’s still completely enough.”
Originally, when Lan Xueruo took the field, the disciples of the seven sects were all secretly crying out for pity, and if Yun Che had just retreated smoothly, no one would have been able to say anything. Lan Xueruo was eighteen years old, and it was more than suitable to battle Lu Zhannan. However, it was not expected that this Yun Che was obsessed, and even insisted on wanting to fight Lu Zhannan by himself. This caused quite a few disciples from the seven sects to sputter with laughter.
Lan Xueruo was stunned and anxiously said, ”Senior Brother Yun! Don’t get carried away, this person has the Xuan power of the seventh level of the Xuan Realm and has a vicious mind, it’s not something you can deal with at all. It’s better to let me do it.”
Yun Che, however, still shook his head, and instead, a trace of a smile appeared on his face, “Thank you for your concern, but don’t worry about it, Senior Sister, since I have become a disciple of the Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion, I won’t disgrace the Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion.”
Yun Che’s smile carried an inexplicable infectiousness. With him being so insistent, Lan Xueruo was no longer able to say anything else, and could only let out a dark sigh in her heart as she looked at him with a complicated gaze and admonished, “In this fight, even if you lose, you won’t disgrace the Crescent Moon Xuanfu. Therefore, no matter what, you must protect yourself …… This person is nicknamed Cold Blooded, it is possible for him to kill in front of the House Master, so you must be careful! If you really can’t, there’s no shame in admitting defeat!”
Yun Che nodded slightly to Lan Xueruo. Lan Xueruo took two steps back and helplessly retreated into the seating area. As for Xia Yuanba, his entire heart had been raised, although he had only entered Crescent Moon City for half a year, he had also heard this Lu Coldblood’s name.
“I appreciate your personality, completely unabashed bravado and arrogance.” Lu Zhaonan lightly exited, his voice low and gloomy: “It’s just a pity that you’re a bit over the top with your fanaticism, people like this usually die early.”
“There’s no need for nonsense, report your name.” Yun Che said expressionlessly.
“Name?” Lu Zhaonan raised his head slightly, his narrow eyes filled with icy disdainful mockery, “You …… don’t deserve to know yet.”
“Alright, I take back what I said just now.” Yun Che skimmed his mouth, “I’m already completely uninterested in what your name is, because you’re nothing more than an ordinary stepping stone on my life’s path. For a stepping stone, I have no interest in knowing its name.”
“Hehe, this is perhaps the last time in your life, you will speak so confidently.” Lu Zhaonan smiled faintly, feeling that this flamboyant teenager in front of him was not only arrogant, but also simply conceited and foolish to the extreme.
“It seems that this boy called Yun Che has been ruined, and I can sense that this Lu Zhaonan has already moved his hostility.” The middle-aged man from the Xiao Sect’s Outer Sect shook his head and said.
“Lu Zhaonan was already ruthless, and being provoked by him in every way, how could he not be ruthless.” Xiao Luocheng smiled and shook his head as he said in a low voice, “Seeing that he defeated Tie Hengjun, I also had wanted to go up and stomp him down, letting him know what a true genius is, but it seems like I’m no longer needed now.”
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, “What kind of status and strength is the Young Patriarch! How does this arrogant brat deserve to have the Young Patriarch personally take action.”
Xiao Luocheng smiled warmly and stopped speaking.
“I have to say, your arrogance succeeded me in making a strong desire to destroy you, enjoy these last few seconds of you having a complete body, hey ……” Lu Zhaonan’s right hand touched on his left hand, a nearly four feet long sword was already grasped in his hand, the corner of his mouth grinned up a trace of Caracal smile, his body violently stormed up from its static state, transforming into a black phantom in the center of the grand hall, instantly moving to within three steps of Yun Che in a whistling sound like a storm.
“The Seven Slaughter Sword Pavilion’s stance Xuan Technique …… Storm Streaming Cloud!”
“Clang~~~”
Along with Lu Zhaonan’s storm-like movement, the longsword that was held in his right hand, suddenly came from a moment of letting the heart trembled blade trembling sound, the next instant, Lu Zhaonan’s longsword was like a lightning suddenly stabbed out …… that a sword light, like a sudden instantly rushing and raging thunder and lightning light, so fast that people could only catch the flash of a flash of a piercing cold aura.
“It’s a flash of lightning! Senior Brother Lu actually came up with this move, it seems like he wanted to waste this arrogant brat in one move!” A disciple of the Seven Slaughter Sword Pavilion exclaimed.
“That’s right, if Senior Brother Lu lets this brat go through three moves in his hands, then he wouldn’t be Senior Brother Lu anymore.” Another disciple of the Seven Slaying Sword Pavilion rightfully said.
The speed of this magnificent sword was fast to the extreme, the slim sword body was even infused with Lu Zhaonan’s powerful Xuan Force, and the sword momentum was also strong to the point of being unbelievable. This sword could be said to be flawless. The Seven Kill Sword Pavilion was known for its “Blistering Sword” for thousands of miles, and in Lu Zhaonan’s body, the word “Blistering Sword” was presented perfectly.
Giggling!
“Ah!!!”
The ear-piercing sound of air being torn apart resounded, and this lightning-like sword directly pierced through Yun Che’s figure in the midst of all the Crescent Moon Xuanfu disciples’ cries of shock, and even the person with the sword directly pierced through his body…….
But unfortunately, it was only a remnant.
“Surprisingly …… dodged through? How is this possible?” The disciples of the Seven Slaughter Sword Pavilion shouted in shock. Lu Zhaonan’s move just now, “Thunder Lightning Flash”, could be said to have been played to perfection, and none of the disciples who had come with him were confident that they could do it to the extent that he had. The speed of that sword could almost be described as shocking the world and crying to the gods, even if one was prepared, it was extremely difficult to avoid it, and Yun Che was clearly fighting with the disciples of the Seven Slaughter Sword Pavilion for the first time, and should not be familiar with the Seven Slaughter Sword Pavilion’s sword moves at all, and without preparation …… had actually dodged it!
“Surprisingly dodged it!” The Elders of the Crescent Moon Xuanfu were also greatly surprised, and two of them directly stood up from their seats in excitement. Not only was this Yun Che’s Xuan Force impossibly thick, and had a marvelously bizarre Body Technique Xuan Skill, even his reaction speed was so amazing.
“So fast!” Yun Che’s brows sank slightly. If he hadn’t had his Xuan Pass fully opened and was able to mobilize his Xuan Force to launch the Star God Shattering Shadow at the fastest speed possible, he really wouldn’t have been able to dodge this sword that was like a thunderous light.
