Chapter 1672 - 851: Seven Swords Treasure Vault (Part 2)

"Hu Lie," how did he manage to raise such an abnormal Sun Tzu!

Row after row of sword flashes sliced towards his body; during Yun Che’s rapid evasion, he felt the sharp sword spirit’s faint pain grazing his face and arms. At this moment, Jasmine’s warning tone suddenly emerged from his mind: "Yuanou should quickly end the battle. This is your first time using the Evil Soul, and you are actually fighting continuously; it’s too intense. You should also be feeling the burden on your body and deep vein. Based on your current condition, the Evil Soul can last for at most another thirty seconds. Beyond that, your deep vein may suffer severe damage."

Yun Che suddenly trembled in his heart.

"You messy trash, do you only know how to dodge?" Since over a hundred of his sword strikes hadn’t even harmed a strand of Yin Che’s hair, Lu Zhannan, growing more and more desperate, roared.

In his rage, as the power behind the sword grew increasingly fierce, Lu Zhannan’s powerful energy expanded wildly from his whole body. Under the shrouded sword shadows, it was as if an extremely fierce storm was brewing within the Imperial Palace. The marble floor was being constantly cut and shredded by the sword’s aura and scattered by the sword’s wind.

As if Lu Zhannan’s words were effective. His next sword strike slanted at an angle, but Yin Che chose not to use his impeccable bizarre movement technique to dodge. Instead, he suddenly opened up, facing the sword blade, and forcibly initiated an attack towards his own body.

Yin Che’s action made Lu Zhannan roar in his heart, making Lu Zhannan ecstatic: Fool, you have a death wish!

Snap!

Lu Zhannan’s longsword viciously sliced across Yun Che’s left arm, and the strike was sure to splash blood. However, when Lu Zhannan saw the bloody wound on Yin Che’s arm that he had cut, he wasn’t pleased, but instead shocked. Because the sword strike, filled with his deep energy from the newborn profound domain, had actually only injured his flesh; let alone severing his entire arm, not even the bone was touched!

Undoubtedly, Yun Che’s body possessed powerful strength, even though he was only at the first layer of the newborn profound domain!

When Yun Che raised the sword tip, his right fist, filled with all his strength, also fiercely struck Lu Zhannan’s chest.

Boom!!

Could the immense power of the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm possibly break through the protective formidable energy of an opponent at the seventh level of the Nascent Profound Realm?

Lu Zhannan originally intended to breach Yun Che’s strike, but then, his complexion suddenly changed dramatically.

His chest’s "protective deep energy" only lasted for half a breath before it was shattered. Lu Zhannan felt as if his chest was pounded directly by a 500-kilogram heavy hammer. As he retreated seven or eight consecutive steps, his internal organs tumbled violently, almost causing him to fall.

Impossible! Evidently, he only possesses the powerful strength of the first rate of the Nascent Profound Realm! Even if his strength is much stronger than peers of the same level, it could at most compare with the third or fourth level. But I, I myself surpass them by over half a realm! When I couldn’t even sever his protective deep energy, how could I be in such an awkward situation after just one of his strikes?

As his murderous intent grew, his thoughts descended into chaos. Just as he was about to use the "Seven Lethal Sword Pavilion’s" most powerful Ultimate Skill, he suddenly saw Yun Che extend his right hand to the side, revealing a strange smile.

"Ha!" Facing Lu Zhannan’s outstretched five fingers, Yun Che suddenly clenched tightly, and a muffled word slipped from his mouth.

Just as everyone was bewildered by his actions and words, they suddenly heard a "hissing" sound emanating from Lu Zhannan’s body. Thereafter, Lu Zhannan’s painful, bloody scream echoed throughout the Great Palace.

"WAAAAAAA!!"

A Flame Ball suddenly burst from Lu Zhannan’s chest, coinciding perfectly with where Yun Che struck him. The flesh, bones, and even nearby organs were engulfed by the flames. Lu Zhannan collapsed painfully to the ground, frantically patting with his hands, trying to extinguish the "Holy Fire" from who knows where. However, the flames were ignited by the massive energy Yun Che had plunged into his chest. Unless he tore apart his own chest, there was absolutely no chance of extinguishing them.

For someone with the nickname "Cold Blood", to even scream like this, one can imagine the pain he is enduring at this moment. Not to mention the fire ignited within the body, for ordinary people, it’s already hard to bear the burning flames. The complexion of everyone in the main palace changed. Some turned ashen, some became nauseous, some even started trembling from head to toe.

"Tear," fire attribute attribute profound! He actually can also use fire attribute profound arts!

Heavens! Isn’t this a vision that can only be achieved in a higher domain of the fire attribute? This Yun Che not only has fire attribute profound arts, but he has also reached such a state. "He is evidently only sixteen years old! How can this be!" Yan Ming, earlier defeated by Yun Che, became stunned like a wooden chicken. The ability to summon profound energy from afar is the sect’s profound art capability that can only be achieved when cultivated to the sixth domain. He didn’t even dare to contemplate achieving it before the age of thirty. However, Yun Che had already done it, showcasing it undisputedly in front of everyone. At this point, he fully understood that his defeat bore no injustice at all. To deal with fire and to handle the abnormal phenomenon that could summon profound energy from afar was indeed like flaunting one’s prowess in axe skills before a master carpenter, begging to be humiliated.

If only right after the battering, Lu Zhannan immediately clenched his teeth and gathered his strength to recover the "membrane", instead of instantly dispersing Yun Che’s deep energy that had already breached into his body, the outcome would undoubtedly be different. However, even though Lu Zhannan was only repelled by one punch from Yun Che, he still stubbornly refused to admit Yun Che’s strength. More so, he never anticipated that Yun Che actually possessed such powerful fire control abilities.

Yun Che walked over to him, looking at him with eyes filled with pity, speaking in a calm tone: "I said before, I am no longer interested in your name at all. A person with the strength of the seventh level of Nascent Profound Realm cannot even defeat someone at the first level of Nascent Profound Realm. There’s completely no need for me to know about such rubbish.

After saying this, he sneered slightly, flicking his finger lightly. The nightmare on Lu Zhannan’s chest was finally extinguished.

Yun Che never added insult to injury for those he detested. Moreover, Lu Zhannan did have the intention to kill him. Had it not been for all eyes watching within the main hall of the "New Moon Abyss Palace," he would never have kindly put out the flames on Lu Zhannan’s body. Lu Zhannan rose up exhausted. His face was as pale as paper, the clothes on his chest already burned into a hole, exposing skin that was almost blackened. Under his formidable energy protection, Yun Che’s flames hadn’t actually severely harmed him. However, the pain caused by the fire ignited inside his body was enough to make him unforgettable for life, and planted a very deep scar in the depths of his heart. At this time, his gaze towards Yun Che was filled with fear. He lowered his head, dragging his sword, and left quietly towards the Seven Lethal Sword Pavilion without saying a word.

He knew that today, he had completely become what Yun Che called "a stepping stone." Reflecting now, all his earlier ridicule and disdain towards Yun Che felt like a heap of jokes he slapped on his own face.

"Tian Zhannan" actually "lost his way!"

How terrifying! What kind of strength does Lu Zhannan possess? Even he was defeated by Yun Che!’

"Sixteen years old." First-rate in the Nascent Profound Realm, yet his profound strength is truly astonishing, both deep and robust. His movement techniques are even stranger and unfathomable. Furthermore, he still knows such advanced fire attribute profound arts! The fire attribute profound arts he displayed just now did not seem to belong to the Cloudy Sun Sect or the Burning Heavenly Clan, but its level was so high it was "terrifying" - he is apparently only 16 years old!’
