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 Xin's 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 Cheng's 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 Xin's. He had clearly witnessed Jian Chen and Kai Ya's 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 Cheng's 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 Chen's side to benefit as long as the old man was present.
As a result, in Xiao Zheng's eyes, offending Mo Cheng was not a very clever decision.
"There's going to be some trouble now," Xiao Zheng frowned.
Jian Chen completely ignored Mo Cheng's 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 Chen's words. They looked at him like he was an idiot.
"Heh, who's 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. Who's this brat? I've never even heard of him, and from his characteristics, he doesn't seem to be someone ranked in the top ten of the Overgods' Plaque, yet he's still bold enough to stand up to Mo Cheng."
"Hmph, and he wants to protect other people for a year? He'll 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 Cheng's eyes, "Go through you? If you're a slightly more powerful early Godking, I would take you seriously, but you're just an ant in my eyes right now. You don't 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.
