Chapter 206: Blockading the Entrance (1/2)

“How devious, Lu Yun!” Another Lu cultivator stepped forward as soon as Lu Yun finished, contempt outlining his expression. “You’ll admit defeat if we can take a single hit from you? Aren’t you the top youth sovereign? It seems you’ve won the title not with real strength, but with tricks and schemes.”

“Oh?” Lu Yun looked at the cultivator.

“Why don’t you take a hit from us?” The cultivator smirked, believing himself to have seen through Lu Yun’s plan. “If you can take that, we’ll admit defeat. What say you?”

Many in the crowd perked up at this suggestion. Lu Yun’s attack earlier had been too unnatural; Lu Qingshuang had lost before she could even react. That told them that Lu Yun was powerful in offense, but not necessarily defense. Very few cultivators could master both.

One door opened was one window closed, after all.

“Why should we be the ones on defense and not the other way around?”

“That’s right. If you can take a hit from me, I’ll admit defeat!” A crescendo of hooting and hollering broke out, the development of which unnerved the Lu immortals.

Lu Yun mustn’t accept the challenge, if he knows what’s good for him! If our youths realize that their full strength isn’t enough to even touch him, it’ll be a fatal blow to their confidence!

Unfortunately, they couldn’t find any reason or excuse to stop him.

Lu Yun’s real level of strength might be a mystery to the youngsters, but that was hardly the case for the immortals. The top youth sovereign approved by the nine celestial emperors must far exceed any normal expectations.

“Alright.” Lu Yun nodded. “There are 1,382 of you present. You may all attack together.”

His reply draped a curtain of stunned silence over the crowd. A thousand plus cultivators may not be a lot of people, but they were all elites of the younger generation and future pillars of the clan. Lu Yun was going to take their concerted attack head-on?

Did he have a death wish?

“I don’t want you to come at me one by one and fail to touch me even after exhausting yourselves.” Lu Yun sighed. “You’ll lose the confidence to cultivate, and your dao immortals will chase me down.”

“Quit bragging!!” one of them growled in rage. “Take this!!”

Swoosh!

A kaleidoscopic ray of sword energy rose from the crowd to slash at Lu Yun. It was more than three hundred meters long and nine meters wide, ringed with a terrifying sword aura that threatened to bisect the air.

However, the sword energy halted a few meters away from Lu Yun and shattered.

“Impossible!!” Eyes wide in disbelief, the attacker’s slash hadn’t even gotten close to Lu Yun, let alone cut through his clothes!

“I told you that you should all—” An enormous explosion at the mouth of the Mauve Peace Paradise Joy cut Lu Yun short.

Kaboooom!

A clear voice rang through the area.

“You hear the words of Qing Shan, an august immortal of the Qing Clan. Today, by the orders of our forefather, I hereby blockade your entrance for ten days. Anyone unwilling to accept this may challenge me!”
