Chapter 2041: Fighting Mo Cheng (One)
You sure are bold to stand in my way, Mo Cheng stared at Jian Chen coldly and emotionlessly.
Kai Ya became furious from beside Jian Chen when she heard that. Mo Cheng was only a late Overgod. His cultivation level was the same as them, yet he was so arrogant, looking down on them.
Yun Xins heart had sunken into despair long ago. Although she knew Jian Chen and Kai Ya were very powerful and also supreme experts on the Overgods Plaque, Mo Chengs fame was simply too great. Just being ranked first on the Overgods Plaque was enough to scare many people.
As for Xiao Zheng, he felt uneasy as well. He was an early Godking, where both his knowledge and insight were far greater than Yun Xins. He had clearly witnessed Jian Chen and Kai Yas strength when they fought the two early Godkings on the seventh floor.
Xiao Zheng believed that even if Jian Chen and Kai Ya were not Mo Chengs opponent in an open battle, they would still be close.
However, behind Mo Cheng was an old man in azure who was completely unknown. It was impossible for Jian Chens side to benefit as long as the old man was present.
As a result, in Xiao Zhengs eyes, offending Mo Cheng was not a very clever decision.
Theres going to be some trouble now, Xiao Zheng frowned.
Jian Chen completely ignored Mo Chengs coldness. He smiled calmly and said, I made a deal with the Yun family before that I have to protect miss Yun Xin for a year in the Neptunean Divine Palace. As a result, anyone who wants to harm her must go through me first during this year.
Many people in the garden immediately scoffed when they heard Jian Chens words. They looked at him like he was an idiot.
Heh, whos this? He sure is arrogant to say something like this before Mo Cheng.
Although Mo Cheng has been a little arrogant, he has the power to back it up. Whos this brat? Ive never even heard of him, and from his characteristics, he doesnt seem to be someone ranked in the top ten of the Overgods Plaque, yet hes still bold enough to stand up to Mo Cheng.
Hmph, and he wants to protect other people for a year? Hell struggle to even protect himself after offending Mo Cheng.
The azure-robed old man behind Mo Cheng raised his eyebrows at this moment as well. He looked at Jian Chen with some surprise.
A gleam of light flashed through Mo Chengs eyes, Go through you? If youre a slightly more powerful early Godking, I would take you seriously, but youre just an ant in my eyes right now. You dont have the right to stand in my way, so back off. With that, Mo Cheng extended a finger, and a strand of sword Qi immediately shot out. It flew towards Jian Chen with lightning speed and a sharp light.
He was confident that no Overgods were his opponent. He did not take Jian Chen seriously either, feeling disinclined to use his sword.
This Mo Cheng is worthy of being first on the Overgods Plaque. Not only is his strength extraordinary, but just a casual sword Qi from him is not something regular late Overgods can contend with. His comprehension of the Laws of the Sword is no weaker than mine. He has reached the limits of the partial achievement of Sword Spirit, where he can reach major achievement with just one more step, thought Jian Chen. He remained calm and composed, and he also extended a finger to send out a strand of sword Qi.
Swish!
The sword Qi tore through the air with lightning speed. There was only a flash of silver-white light, and the two strands of sword Qi collided together, erupting with a deep bang.
Hmm? I would never have thought this brat uses the Laws of the Sword as well.
So what if he can use the Laws of the Sword. The same laws in different hands will still possess different power. How can this ignorant kid be Mo Chengs opponent?
Just watch. This clash will show the difference in strength.
Many people discussed. None of them thought the outcome would be in Jian Chens favour.
But very soon, the people who looked down on Jian Chen were completely stunned. The two strands of sword Qi both collapsed in the air, where neither one managed to get the upper hand.
Jian Chen and Mo Cheng were equal in this clash.
Hmm? I couldnt tell, but this kid has got some strength.
That means nothing. That was just a very casual strike from Mo Cheng. He did not even use his sword. If Mo Cheng were a little more serious, all he needs is a few moves, no, even just a single move is enough, to defeat his opponent.
Mo Chengs eyes narrowed. He said coldly, You do have some strength to be able to stop my sword Qi so easily. You have the right for me to use my sword. A sword appeared in Mo Chengs hand, and he became shrouded by a blurry glow. Sword Qi churned at the tip of the sword as it radiated with it.
A supreme quality saint artifact! Jian Chen looked at the sword in Mo Chengs hand. The Startling Rainbow sword he used in the past had already shattered, and he had always been in search of a supreme quality saint artifact that suited him. However, he had yet to find one that satisfied him.
Look, Mo Cheng is using his full strength. Its extremely rare to see a battle involving the person ranked first on the Overgods Plaque. All the Overgods in the garden paid close attention to the battle, and it even attracted the attention of a few Godkings.
A gleam of light flashed through Xiao Zhengs eyes. He too was eager for Jian Chen to fight Mo Cheng. He wanted to see just what difference existed between their strength.
I will strike out without mercy afterwards. If you want to back off now, its still not too late. Remember, you cant stop me from getting my hands on the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways, Mo Cheng said coldly.
Are you that certain that I cant stop you? That will only be the case if the person behind you interferes, Jian Chen said calmly.
A gleam of light flashed through the eyes of the old man behind Mo Cheng. He looked at Jian Chen with unknown intentions and chuckled, My little friend, dont worry at all. As long as more powerful Godkings dont appear, I naturally wont take part. Speaking of which, I really do hope that you can defeat Mo Cheng so that you can blunt his arrogance a little. With a flash, the old man had already retreated several kilometers away. However, he also knew that finding an Overgod who could defeat Mo Cheng was simply far too difficult.
Mo Cheng ignored the old mans words. The light in his eyes shone brightly as he churned with battle intent. He said, Since youre so confident, Ill promise you that I dont want the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways anymore if you can defeat me. With that, Mo Cheng directly struck out. His sword shone brightly as it seemed to fuse with him, directly stabbing at Jian Chen.
Jian Chen took a step forwards to receive it. Sword Qi condensed on his right hand as he used it to deal with his opponent.
Theyre fighting. Lets see how long this person can last as Mo Chengs opponent.
Do we even need to look? Itll be under three moves.
Everyone held their breaths in the garden as they paid close attention. Even some late Godkings had become attracted by Mo Cheng personally fighting.
Ding!
With a crisp sound, the sword Qi on Jian Chens hand struck Mo Chengs sword. Due to the fact that Jian Chens sword Qi was extremely consolidated, almost to the point where it was solid, there was the ringing of metal.
The collision of the two great powers immediately produced a powerful pulse of energy. Sword Qi scattered into the surroundings, but they failed to destroy anything around them.
All the heavenly resources, or even just the normal vegetation, were protected by powerful formations. Let alone them, even late Godkings or supreme Godkings from the Godkings Throne would struggle to damage them.
What power! Mo Cheng exclaimed inside. He felt an extremely great power pass through his saint artifact when he clashed with Jian Chens sword Qi. It was to the point where it numbed his entire right arm.
However, in the next moment, Mo Chengs eyes suddenly narrowed. He saw Jian Chens right hand directly reach for his sword while being coated by a bright light.
You wanna die? Ill take your hand first if that is the case, Mo Cheng sneered inside.
