13 Continued destruction(3)

At this point, there was no one who was sixteen and possess the profound level below the 4th level of the nascent realm that voluntarily desired to challenge Azazel. It was an understatement to consider this boy a heavenly genius, at the mere age of 12 he was able to destroy geniuses left and right without even breaking a sweat. It was safe to assume that his cultivation was at least at the 7th level of the nascent profound level.

Of course, this was not the only presumptions made about his physiology and battle skills. Many guests in the banquet believed in the understandable fact that he was practicing a finger art, hence the reason why he was able to decimate so many opponents with the flick of a finger.

Yun che, who was sitting motionlessly in the guest seats could not help but narrow his eyes in surprise, and recognition as well. This was the same exact boy he saw during his wedding day, and he was staring directly at him as well. Obviously, it does not take a donkey to comprehend how weird this entire scenario was.

"Jasmine how old is he and what is his actual cultivation?" asked yun che probingly. He heard some elder talking about the boy being at the nascent realm 7th level. However, obviously, no one knows better than jasmine. . Besides, he had the faint precognition that the boy was hiding his cultivation level for some arcane reason.

Jasmine did not answer for quite some time, and yun che was going to ask again until she began speaking

"True profound realm 4th level. 12 years old."

Yun che: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"True profound level 4th level? You have got to be kidding me. Does he also practice a finger skill?"

"No. His ability to control his profound energy is something I have never seen from a true profound level practitioner. Even I, when I was at the same cultivation level, could not control my energy that accurately. His fingers are shrouded by some layer of spirituality that allows him to deal exponential damage while protecting his fingers in a simultaneous manner. Hmph, he is still trash when compared to me nonetheless."

The last sentence was truly not intentional. However jasmine involuntarily felt the need to establish a distinction. The boy was 12 years old like her, and his ability to mold energy is even better than hers at the same cultivation level! It took all of her will power to even say this to yun che, she had to specify clearly that he was in no way comparable to her. Arrogance and pride, it seems, were emotions that were prevalent in her thinking process.

Yun che pursed his lips, the boy was looking at him directly at the moment. Those scarlet eyes were the personification of a predator eyeing its prey. They were so beautiful, yet so deadly at the same time. His will was tempered, nonetheless, there was no way he would back down from this stare battle.

It lasted for 10 seconds. Not long, but not short either. The beautiful boy merely smiled and shifted his attention once more, leaving yun che to his own interpretations.

" I have stood here for quite some time. Who is next"

Azazel coldly spoke, his eyes glued to those people from the seven sects, all of which were fuming with anger.

It was already established that no 16 years old could even hope to take a single blow from him, much less put up a descent fight.

As for Xiao Luocheng, although he was also sixteen, everyone subconsciously didn't take him into consideration. As the young sect master of Xiao Sect's Branch Sect, he had stepped into the tenth level of Nascent Profound Realm at the mere age of sixteen; he was an entity that stood above the mass within this small confine that was new moon city.

That unrivaled status was bound to change soon if things are left at their current state. After all, azazel was 4 years younger than xiao luocheng, he had much more potential when it comes to cultivation aptitude.

Moments after azazel's declaration, a person from the seven deadly sword pavillion calmly stood up, his figure highlighted even further by the singular action of walking towards the arena.

Murmurs could be heard from the crowd. Fear, however, was a prevalent emotion that seeded itself deep among the young practitioners.

" Slap me dead If i'm wrong, but isn't that Lu zhannan!"

" you don't need to slap yourself to death you fool.. Thats indeed cold blooded Lu! It looks like things will be much more interesting. "

The person identified as cold blooded lu laughed evilly before appearing in the middle of the profound palace. His disdainful gaze sizing up the boy in front of him. A desire to kill ever so prevalent.

"I have crushed a lot of geniuses in the past. I suppose it won't be too bad to add another to my growing list. Hehehehehehehehe. Kill it before it sprouts even further. I quite like that saying, What do you think pretty boy? "

His question was met with silence, as expected. However lu zhannan did not show visible frustration on the matter, his countenance nonchalant for he indeed view himself as more than enough to kill the little fellow in front of him.

" I actually expected more from the seven sects, truly. However, time after time, you guys constantly sent rubbish in the stadium. Ants that I squashed with but a flick of my finger. How absolutely pitiful, I blush in shame at your inadequacy" azazel spoke with closed eyes, his face depicting that of a person who truly felt apologetic or sympathetic a the circumstances.

" what did you say? I did not hear you, mind repeating that?" lu zhannan could no longer keep up his calm facade, what was said branded him as nothing more than fodder, How could he accept that.

Azazel indifferently opened his eyes, a mocking expression marred his face

" I did not stutter. You are a disgrace."

"You!!" lu zhannan erupted with a sinister red energy that reached to the roof, veins after veins could be seen extremely visible on his face.

" I will kill you, Make no mistake of that" cold blooded lu harshly spoke as his figure flashed in an instant. 9 purple after images could be seen in his original location, all of which speeding forward with unbelievable momentum

After arriving within close proximity, approximately 4 meters away from azazel's precise location, Lu zhannan sheathed his 4 foot t long sword and swung forward towards the boy's chest at lightning quick speed.

All disciples of the seven deadly sword pavilion were naturally knowledgeable on this particular sword strike. It was the one and only flash of lightning. The user usually swings the sword in a stabbing motion, the sheer speed of the sword translates to a momentum used to fuel the strength of the stab, hence the reason why it was so deadly.

"Keh, Looks like it's over"

" don't be so confident, we don't know yet"

Azazel narrowed his eyes, the trajectory of the sword, despite it being inherently fast, was extremely distinguishable if one considered his ability to mold profound energy. There is a reason why chief prioritized energy control. With this uncanny ability, not only can one create energy, but they can develop a connection to any form of energy and figure out its motion and wavelength. This was the reason why he was able to detect attacks before they are even released or just when they are being induced.

The white haired youth, much to the surprise of almost everyone, moved his body to the side, effectively getting out of the way of the sword strike. However, it did not stop there. Azazel spun around and did a beautiful back kick, shattering lu zhannan's defenses as he sent the older man flying backwards 30 meters.

Lu zhannan still managed to stabilize himself, albeit difficulty. His jaw clenched in an anger at his apparent failure. Little did he know that he was setting himself up to huge failure.

Azazel shifted positions, turning into a blur as he instantly appeared next to a small, inconspicuous object situated adjacent to cold blooded lu's feet(needle)

With clenched fists, the white haired boy sent a devastating punch towards his opponents jaw, sending the man flying like a loose kite into the sky.

With the thirst to decimate his opponent still not quenched, azazel bent his knees and flew upward, appearing above lu zhannan who was still in mid air. The boy punched downwards atop his opponent's belly, effectively sending him flying back down into the ground with near unrivaled momentum

BOOM!

The ground shattered from the devastating impact, creating the outline of lu zhannan's body which was lodged deep inside of the crater. No movements could be heard nor seen.

Yet, it was still not over

Azazel gracefully landed on the stadium. His eyes emotionless as he extends his palm towards the crater on the ground, lips parted in spiritual vocalization

"Sublime extinction!"

hui--------

A while light materialized into reality, enveloping the entirety of the crater where cold blooded lu's body resided.

" STOP!" yelled a seven deadly sword pavilion elder, albeit it was too late.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH"

The scream resembled that of a dying pig as a pillar of light rose from the crater, its height reaching the ceiling and even causing it some harm.

The luminosity of the light died down, and so did the screams from lu zhannan. The crater , it seems, became even wider as a direct result of the white light released just now.

" you have got to be kidding me. This is not real….."

Everyone was, at this point, purely shocked. This battle barely lasted 5 seconds and it was over. They were not even in the same league! Worlds apart when it comes to pure, unaldurated strength.

Azazel nonchalantly reached inside of the crater, grabbing the unconscious lu zhannan by the feet and throwing him like a sack of garbage into the guest seats where the seven deadly sword pavillion sect members congregated.

His scarlet eyes looked at the disciples from all the seven sects, all of whom were too ashamed to even stare at him face to face. Finally, his pupil landed on xio luocheng who was drinking wine without a care in the world.

The White haired boy pointed his finger at him, wiggling it back and forth as he spoke coldly

" you, come down here. You're next."
