Against the Gods Chapter 66 – The Battle That Shook the City (3)

Chapter 66 The Battle That Shook the City (3)

As Li Hao, the strongest sixteen year old in the Profound Department got so easily beaten by an opponent of the same age, Xia Yuanba vigorously gritted his teeth in secret. He hated how his profound strength was meager; let alone recover face for Li Hao and New Moon Profound Palace, he didnt even have the qualifications to challenge Xuan Yu. But he had never thought that Xuan Yu would actually direct the spear head at him. Looking at Xuan Yus fingertips, Xia Yuanbas eyes widened, and instantly became stupefied.

Also, this Xuan Yu actually called him Big-framed Senior Brother!

All the gazes concentrated onto Yuanbas body at once. All the elders in New Moon Profound Palace suddenly knitted their brows greatly, and the disciples were also struck dumb. None of them had expected that Xuan Yu would challenge Xia Yuanba, who was actually only fifteen years old, and only came to to spectate! Although, with that astonishing figure of Xia Yuanba, it really was impossible for people who wasnt familiar with him to know that he was only fifteen. Even mistaking him as being eighteen or nineteen would be normal.

Sikong Han spoke up: This is my Palace disciple Xia Yuanba. However, you shouldnt call him Senior Brother. Although his build is excessively burly, hes still only fifteen this year, and is the youngest in my Palace.

Fifteen... years old? Many people from the seven profound sects almost sprayed out the tea in their mouth. Xuan Yu had also immediately became flabbergasted.

Yuanba, since this Profound Heart Sect disciple wants to spar with you, you should calmly accept the challenge. Sikong Han turned around and said: You are younger in age, so there is no need to be ashamed even if you lose, just do your best.

Yes, Elder. Xia Yuanba nodded and stood up. As the huge body that neared two meters and thirty centimeters stood up, many people in the palace were immediately taken aback. Yun Che tapped him once, and said in a low voice: Be careful, dont get injured.

Hehe, dont worry. Even though my profound strength is no good, my body is still really tough. Xia Yuanba tapped his chest with confidence and walked to the center of the Main Palace. He stood in front of Xuan Yu and spoke: My name is Xia Yuanba, from Profound Department Class One, fifteen this year, please give me your guidance.

Xuan Yu clearly had wanted to challenge someone older to show off, but didnt expect the giant he chose that looked eighteen, was actually only fifteen years old! A sixteen year old fighting against a fifteen year old, there wouldnt be any glory to talk about even if he had won. As he arbitrarily measured the opponents profound power, the corner of his mouth instantly twitched a bit.... Only the sixth level of the Elementary Profound Realm! Choosing an opponent like this, it was virtually degrading his social status.

That fool! I knew something would happen if he attended this banquet! If we let others know about that even someone at the sixth level of Elementary Profound Realm could enter as an elite disciple, wouldnt we become a huge laughing stock! Hmph, what a disgrace!

A low disdainful sneer filled with contempt slowly traveled into Yun Ches ears. Yun Ches gaze peered off to the side, apathetically glanced at Murong Ye, then he retracted his gaze and concentrated onto Xia Yuanbas figure.

Murong Ye who had just shut his trap suddenly felt a chill, and his entire body violently shook a bit. He panickly turned around and checked the surroundings while his heart palpitated like crazy.... Just a moment ago, he felt as if he suddenly dropped into a extremely cold ice hole?, and also felt as if a terrifying viper had locked him down with its eyes. But no matter where he looked, he couldnt find any abnormalities in his surroundings. The flash of that frightening feeling had also started to die down. Murong Ye touched the cold sweat on his forehead, that had been formed who knows when, and genuinely thought that he was just being paranoid.

HAAH! Cutting Mountains Splitting Boulders!

Xia Yuanba struck first; with both of his hands clenched into fists, his enormous body leaped up and violently crashed down. Adding his body together with that intangible sense of pressure, it really had some kind of resemblance to Cutting Mountains Splitting Boulders..

He actually had the face to show off such a trashy Profound Skill. If Xuan Yu lets him use more than three moves before defeating him, hell never have the face to meet anyone outside again! Sneered a senior disciple of Profound Heart Sect.

When faced with the enormous force of Xia Yuanbas attack, Xuan Yu didnt attempt to dodge at all, and didnt even assume a Profound Skills pose. He simply raised his right arm horizontally while standing in place, and plainly blocked toward Xia Yuanbas heavy strike that appeared to be extremely ferocious. The corner of his lips revealed a faint smile of disdain....

With a dull sound, both of Xia Yuanbas fists violently smashed onto Xuan Yus arm. Xuan Yus forearm sank a little, then suddenly flipped upwards like a snake that just had awoken, and immediately locked both of Xia Yuanbas robust arms between his forearm and upper arm. Then, his profound energy abruptly flared up.

*Ka-Cha!!*

UWAAAA!!

Yuanba! Yun Che immediately stood up.

In the wake of Xia Yuanbas scream of agony, both of his arms were dislocated in an instant. Xuan Yu swung out his arm, and actually managed to throw Xia Yuanbas body that weighed over one hundred seventy-five kilos upwards, for over a meter.

Normally, a spar should have ended here. Xia Yuanbas defeat after a single move, was a result that wasnt out of anyones expectations. A powerful foundation, profound arts, and profound skills, allowed Xuan Yu to defeat someone who was only one level lower with just two maneuvers; not to mention Xia Yuanba who was only at the sixth level of Elementary Profound Realm. However, when Xia Yuanbas body was still in the air and about to heavily fall to the ground, the corner of Xuan Yus mouth suddenly formed into a shady grin, as his right fist flashed with a purple light.

Yun Che immediately detected Xuan Yus intent, and promptly shouted: Stop!!

But how would Xuan Yu listen to him; an unrestrained Purple Cloud Palm violently smashed onto Xia Yuanbas body that was just about to hit the ground.

The sound of at least three ribs breaking clearly resounded.

Yuanba!!!!

Not caring about anything else, Yun Che jumped over next to Yuanbas body with a single leap, and supported his falling body. As Xia Yuanba touched the ground, his complexion had already become ghastly white; blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, and his face was twisted because of the intense pain. Although Xia Yuanbas body appeared to be robust, his protective profound energy was still too weak; it was impossible for him to endure Xuan Yus heavy strike.

Yun Che looked at Xuan Yu; his eyes filled with rage, as he spoke with a livid face: This competition is only a sparring session, the match is finished when the victor is obvious. The victor was clear just now, why would you still strike him that heavily!

Heh! Xuan Yu made a sneer of disdain: Its true that it was a spar, but swords are without eyes, and fists are hard to restrain; this is a principle that anyone would know. There are even occasions where lives are lost because of the difficulty of holding back during spars; its normal to receive a little bit of injury. How could I have known that your New Moon Profound Palaces elite disciples were this fragile; bones broke and spewing blood just from one or two moves. You guys arent blaming yourselves for your uselessness, but instead criticize me?

Haha, what Junior Brother Xuan Yu said is too right.

During spars between our fellow apprentices, breaking a few bones is only a common occurrence; thats what you call a real spar. New Moon Profound Palace cant even handle a little injury; no wonder it had always been incompetent, tsktsk...

If I were to say, little brother Xuan Yu was already merciful enough. If little brother Xuan Yu had used all of his strength, with just that sixth level of Elementary Profound Realms protective profound energy, would that brat even be alive right now?

Ear-piercing voices of mockery came from the seven sects side. New Moon Profound Palaces elders could only shake their head and sigh helplessly. Yun Ches deep rage made him reveal a smile instead; he carried Xia Yuanba next to Lan Xueruo who was the closest to him: Senior Sister Xueruo, may I trouble you to look after Yuanba.

Okay! Lan Xueruo hastily walked down, took out a pearl-white medicinal pellet and fed it into Xia Yuanbas mouth. As she raised her head, she discovered that Yun Che had already stood up and walked toward Xuan Yu.

What a great swords are without eyes, and fists are hard to restrain. Yun Che stood in front of Xuan Yu, and his face had already become impeccably calm. He stared at this person who dared to maliciously injure Xia Yuanba in front of him, and spoke with an indifferent tone: You better remember this sentence you had just said... Next, Ill be your opponent! Yun Che, Profound Department Class One, sixteen years old!

Who is this youth? While only sixteen, hes already at first level of the Nascent Profound Realm, and the thickness of his profound energy is even a little higher than Li Hao. Why havent I seen him before?

Theres no need to think too much, hes definitely a disciple in our Profound Department. He is my old friends grandson, and had just joined us today at noon. Sikong Han explained to the other elders. However his expression was full of concern. Although Yun Ches profound energy was slightly stronger than Li Hao, it was only by a little bit, and wouldnt make much of a difference. Li Hao was heavily wounded facing Xuan Yu, which meant that there shouldnt be a different result with Yun Che; at most, he would be able to endure a few more rounds. If he let Yun Che be injured right as he joined the Profound Department, he wouldnt be able to face Xiao Lie. However, in this kind of situation, the person being challenged must accept the challenge, and its even harder to stop the challenger that stood out. He could only watch with open eyes, and pray that Yun Che doesnt get too severe of an injury.

Brother-in-law.... Be careful! He... Hes too strong.... Xia Yuanba said in a painful voice as he held onto his chest.

Xuan Yu froze for a bit when he heard Yun Ches statement, and then started laughing as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: Ahahahaha, dont tell me that youre trying to warn me? Threaten me? An eye for an eye? Haha... Hahahaha! With just you? Hahahaha....

Although Xuan Yus laugh was unbridled and harsh to the ear, there were no one that felt his laugh was presumptuous and baseless. Only after laughing for a long while, did he finally say with contempt: Tsk tsk, I didnt expect that in New Moon Profound Palaces sixteen year-olds, there is actually someone that can be matched with Li Hao. This kind of level in New Moon City is actually quite good, but its too bad that youve met me today. Since you had the guts to challenge me, how about I give you an advantage?

Xuan Yu slowly extended five fingers and shook them in front of Yun Che: Five moves! If you can cross five moves with me, youll be considered as the winner of this spar, how about it?

Hahahaha, Junior Brother Xuan Yu, youre thinking too highly of him. A wave of laughter erupted from the side of Profound Heart Sect.

The main seat of this banquet, Qin Wuyou who didnt speak at all since the beginning of the Exchange of Pointers finally had some shifts in expression. He silently looked at Yun Ches gaze that didnt waver in the slightest under Xuan Yus laughter and mocking, and exclaimed in his heart: This little fellow, is not simple by any means.

Are you finished with your nonsense? Yun Che coldly spoke.

Oh! Your name was.... Uh, Yun Che, right? Dont just stand there; if you want to start, then come attack me any time, at least youll get to attack once that way. If I strike first, you may not even have a chance to strike anymore. Xuan Yu said with a grin as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Heh, Yun Che also laughed. He didnt say a word more; all of a sudden, his body lunged forward as his left hand extended forward, and grabbed straight for Xuan Yus neck.

What? You dont even have any profound skills? Xuan Yus laugh became even more mocking. His eyes half-narrowed, and only until Yun Ches arm was just two feet away from his face, did he start to move; his right hand shot out like a lightning, grabbed toward Yun Ches left wrist, and precisely caught his left hand in the palm of his hand....

A trace of a shady grin flashed in the corner of Xuan Yus mouth. Just as he was about to channel his profound energy to snap Yun Ches wrist, the palm of his hand that had clearly caught Yun Ches wrist instead felt empty.... His five fingers passed through Yun Ches wrist, and fiercely grabbed the empty space! As for Yun Ches body, it had also disappeared, as if turned into mist.

At the same time, a strong gust of wind came from his right side. With his mind still boggled, how could he even react....

PAA!!

A incomparably loud sound of a slap to the face resounded throughout every corner of the Main Palace. Everyone had clearly heard it; the sound was so distinctive, it was as if their own face had been slapped. The entirety of Xuan Yu was sent flying, and finally heavily crashed onto the ground after spinning a full one thousand four hundred and forty degrees in midair.

For this slap, Yun Che didnt holding back a single ounce of his strength. He rubbed the back of his hand that became a little red on his clothes with disgust, and spoke indifferently: First move.
