Chapter 1670 - 850: Who’s Next_2

Therefore, competitions among those under twenty are usually held between people of the same age; otherwise, it would be extremely unfair.

Yun Che and this Lu Zhannan have a full two-year age difference! Furthermore, Lu Zhannan’s profound strength has reached Level 7 of the newborn profound realm! Regardless of age or formidable strength, they are considered people from two different domains! A struggle between them can hardly be called a ’trap’; it can only be regarded as complete unilateral domination!

Due to the age disparity, no matter how thick the skin on Lu Zhannan’s face might be, it is impossible for him to initiate entering the stage actively. However, in this case, Yun Che was obviously the one actively challenging Lu Zhannan, which made it an entirely different concept. If Lu Zhannan did not accept the challenge, it would mean he was afraid of Yun Che!

From everyone’s perspective, Yun Che’s victories against Xuan X, Yan Ming, and Feng Guangyi were already very impressive. Defeating Tie Hengjun was not only impressive but made him remarkable. But to challenge eighteen-year-old Lu Zhannan, who is Seventh Level of the newborn profound domain, this guy is completely beyond himself—just asking for abuse!

Level 1 of the Nascent Profound Realm and Level 7 of the Nascent Profound Realm; that is a difference of more than half a profound realm! This is a huge gap, almost impossible to bridge in any way. How to fight?

Disciples from seven sects rejoiced one after another. To actively challenge Lu Zhannan? That is simply seeking death! Lu Zhannan’s nickname is ’Old Lu’ because his heart is cold and ruthless. Whenever he fights, it is destined to involve bloodshed. Yun Che losing while fighting him is actually secondary. Even if he only loses an arm or a hand, it could be considered as getting by.

All the elders of the New Moon Abyss Palace had become pale with shock. They were fully aware of Lu Zhannan’s character. If Yun Che fought against him, he would likely be crippled by Lu Zhannan, and New Moon Palace would inevitably lose a century’s genius because of it. Sikong Han quickly gave Lan Xueruo a meaningful look. But Lan Xueruo had already stood up before speaking, swiftly took action to block Yun Che from the front, and said: "Brother Yun, let me handle this battle. He is two years older than you, it really isn’t suitable for the two of you to exchange pointers.

However, Yin Che shook his head and confidently said: "There is no need here." To confront this trash, there’s no need for senior sisters to fight. Although I am two years younger than him, it is still enough.

Initially, when Lan Xueruo took to the stage, the disciples from seven sects were mentally shouting ’not too bad.’ If Yun Che simply went along with it and left, no one would object. Lan Xueruo was only eighteen, hence very suitable for a fight against Lu Zhannan. But unexpectedly, Yun Che was stubbornly determined, and actually always wanted to fight Lu Zhannan. This made quite a few disciples from the seven factions immediately burst into laughter.

Lan Xueruo sighed slightly, then anxiously said: "Zhe Xiaoyun! Don’t act impulsively; this person has profound power at Level 7 of the Nascent Profound Realm and is cruel-minded; fundamentally, these are things you cannot handle. It would be best to leave this to me.

However, Yin Che still shook his head, then smiled faintly: Thank you, thank you for big sister’s concern, but big sister need not worry. Since I have already become a disciple of the New Moon Abyss Palace, I will absolutely not lose ’the face of New Moon Abyss Palace’.

Yun Che’s smile carried a mysterious allure. Because he was so determined, Lan Xueruo also could not object any further. She could only let out a deep sigh and looked at Yun Che with a complex gaze: "Even if you lose this match, Yuanen will not lose face for New Moon Abyss Palace. Therefore, in any case, you must protect yourself. This person’s nickname is ’Old Bloodline’; even under the nose of the Palace Leader of the abyss, there is a potential that he could kill, so you must be careful! If it comes down to it, even resigning is not shameful!"

Yun Che nodded at Lan Xueruo. Lan Xueruo stepped back two paces, helplessly returning to her seat. However, Xia Yuanba’s entire heart hung restlessly. Although he had only entered New Moon City for six months, he had heard of the name Cold-blooded Lu.

Lu Zhannan spoke indifferently and coldly: "What a pity, your rudeness is excessive." "Thank you much for your completely undisguised arrogance." These people usually die early.

"No more nonsense, just tell me your name." Yun Che said expressionlessly.

"Hmm?" Lu Zhannan slightly raised his head. His slender eyes were filled with icy disdain and ridicule: "Yuanou," not even worth knowing.

"Alright, I take a step back." Yin Che curled his lips: "Tears have lost the slightest interest in your name because you are merely one of the most ordinary stepping stones along the path of my life. As for a stepping stone, I certainly have no interest in its name."

"Heh, that may be the last confident words you can say in your life." Lu Zhannan laughed heartily. He felt that this arrogant young man before him was not only arrogant but extremely conceited and foolish.

It seemed that this young Yun Che was already regarded as crippled. I can sense that Lu Zhannan is already ready for battle. The middle-aged man from the small sect shook his head while speaking.

Lu Zhannan was originally ruthless. Xiao Luocheng shook his head, a faint smile, said in a low voice: "Seeing him defeating Tie Hengjun, I originally planned to go up and crush him; let him understand what a true genius is. But now it seems there is no need for me anymore."

The middle-aged man hastily said: "What power and status does Young Master hold! How can that arrogant and rude youngster be worthy of Young Master personally dealing with."

Xiao Luocheng slightly smiled and said nothing more.

"I have to say, your rudeness has given me a strong desire to destroy you. Properly enjoy the last few seconds of your intact body, as Lu Zhannan touched his left hand with his right hand, already holding a longsword nearly four feet long. A vicious smile formed on the corner of his mouth. With a pause, his body suddenly transformed into a row of black shadows in the center of the palace. In an instant, under the sound of a storm-like howl, he minimized the distance to Yun Che within three steps.

"Even reaching the sports profound skills of the Deadly Sword Pavilion." Storm Drifting Cloud!

*Kicking~~~*

Accompanied by Lu Zhannan’s storm-like movement, the sword grasped by his right hand suddenly issued a chilling sound from the vibrating sword tip. In the next moment, Lu Zhannan’s longsword was suddenly launched forward like it was striking lightning. The flash of that sword, akin to the light of a violent thunderbolt; the speed was so fast that one could only catch a glimpse of the glaring cold light.

"Lightning!" Brother Lu actually used this move immediately. It seems he wants to weaken this foolish kid in one shot!" shouted the young disciples of the Seven Deadly Sword Pavilion.

"Certainly. If Brother Lu lets this kid get past three moves, then he won’t be ’Brother Lu.’" In fact," stated another disciple of the Seven Sword Hall.

The magnificent thrust of the sword is a pinnacle of swiftness, with the slender sword body also infused with Lu Zhannan’s formidable energy. The momentum of the sword had also reached an astounding level. It can be said this move was flawless. The Seven Deadly Sword Pavilion is known by ’Death Sword’ for a thousand miles, perfectly showcasing the two words ’Death Sword’ in Lu Zhannan.

Riiiip!

"Ahh!!!!"

The piercing sound of tearing through the air rang out. The lightning-like sword directly passed through Yun Che’s outline amidst the screams of the disciples of New Moon Palace. The man and the sword both directly pierced through his body.

But unfortunately, it was merely an afterimage.

"To actually ’dodge’? How can that be?" the disciples of the Seven Deadly Sword Pavilion shouted in shock. Lu Zhannan’s earlier ’lightning strike’ could be said to be perfectly executed. All the disciples who accompanied him did not have enough confidence to perform his skill. Such fast sword speed, almost worthy of shaking the heavens, even making gods weep; even if someone was prepared for it, dodging was extremely difficult. However, obviously, this was Yun Che’s first fight against the disciples of ’Seven Swords Treasure Vault’, so he shouldn’t be familiar with the sword moves of ’Seven Swords Treasure Vault’. Without any preparation—he actually managed to dodge!

"Indeed, it has been dodged!" The Palace Elders of New Moon Palace were also shocked, as both excitedly stood up. Yun Che’s profound strength was not only thick to an incredible degree, but he also possessed a peculiar and wondrous profound movement technique. Even his reaction time was remarkably surprising.
