The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
He spoke angrily: “10th Elder!” “According to the sect rules—” “If what Tan Yun said is true…” “And Liu Rulong was the one who tried to kill him first…” “Then Tan Yun killing Liu Rulong…” “does not count as violating the sect rules!” Shen Qingqiu stared directly at Guo Zhengshou before speaking sternly: “As an elder—” “do you not understand this rule?!” “I understand!” Guo Zhengshou roared loudly, his eyes filled with hatred as he glared at Shen Qingqiu. “Even though you are elders…” “Before so ...
“Impossible… impossible!”
Guo Zhengshou, the white-haired old man whose face was carved with the marks of time, shook his head nonstop as if his soul had left his body.
He muttered to himself with a look of devastation.
“My foster son… is the Rank 3 genius on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.”
“Since childhood, he has always possessed outstanding talent, a true dragon among men.”
“How could he possibly die… that is absolutely impossible!”
Guo Zhengshou’s face twisted in pain.
He raised a trembling finger and pointed furiously at Tan Yun.
“You must be lying to this old man, aren’t you?!”
At the same time,
Qiu Yongchong,
whose face was twisted with rage,
was trembling violently with anger.
His round eyes, like bronze bells, glared fiercely at Tan Yun.
If looks could kill,
Tan Yun would have died 100 times already.
In his heart,
Qiu Yongchong wanted nothing more than to tear Tan Yun into pieces.
But in front of more than 1,000,000 disciples,
as the Law-Enforcement Elder,
he had no choice but to suppress that murderous intent.
Then he roared:
“Answer me right now!”
Tan Yun smiled faintly before bowing deeply.
“Law-Enforcement Elder… 10th Elder.”
“This disciple is truly terrified of the way the two of you treat me.”
A cunning glint flashed through Tan Yun’s eyes.
His posture looked respectful,
but the words coming from his mouth
were like pouring oil onto a raging fire.
“Please calm your anger first, esteemed elders.”
“You may not yet know that Liu Rulong possessed a top-tier beast spirit and extraordinary talent.”
“If this disciple had not killed him…”
“his future would have been limitless.”
Tan Yun paused slightly
before continuing calmly.
“But it seems he had grown tired of living.”
“So he came to kill this disciple.”
“How could I simply stand there and wait for death?”
“So… I tore him into pieces.”
After saying that,
Tan Yun sighed softly.
“Ah… such a tragic death.”
“I don’t even dare think about it.”
“Just thinking about it makes me shiver in fear.”
“I never imagined I would do something like tear a person apart.”
Tan Yun deliberately raised his voice
so that everyone present
could hear him clearly.
Immediately,
Tan Yun’s words caused
the more than 1,000,000 Outer Sect disciples
to fall into an instant uproar!
“Has he gone crazy?!”
“Has Tan Yun lost his mind? Does he want to die?!”
“He’s clearly provoking the Law-Enforcement Elder and the 10th Elder on purpose!”
“That’s right!”
“He knows very well that Liu Rulong was both the top disciple of the Law-Enforcement Elder and the foster son of the 10th Elder!”
“And yet he still dares to speak like this! How bold!”
“Bold my ass!”
“In my opinion, Tan Yun is just arrogant!”
“Heh, that’s not right.”
“He’s not arrogant—he’s simply an idiot.”
“Think about it.”
“He probably became full of himself after surviving the trial and breaking through to Level 5 of the Nascent Soul Realm.”
“And now he thinks he’s invincible under heaven!”
“Yes, Senior Brother is right!”
“If someone wants to be arrogant, they must have powerful backing!”
“But Tan Yun…”
“To put it simply—he’s dead for sure!”
“…”
Despite being mocked and ridiculed from all sides,
Tan Yun didn’t care at all.
The reason he spoke like this
was because everything was part of
a carefully laid trap.
And it was
a killing trap
prepared specifically for
Guo Zhengshou
and Qiu Yongchong.
His first step
was to provoke the two of them
to pave the road toward their deaths.
At the same time,
Tan Yun had also noticed that
Qiu Yongchong was still at Level 8 of the Nascent Soul Realm.
As for that old bastard Guo Zhengshou,
after 2 years,
he had broken through to Level 9 of the Nascent Soul Realm.
So what?
Even if it was Level 9,
Tan Yun didn’t regard it as anything at all.
“You damned brat Tan Yun!”
Guo Zhengshou’s aged voice roared thunderously,
echoing for dozens of li.
“I will tear you apart alive!”
Just as he was about to make a move,
suddenly—
Shen Qingqiu’s figure flashed
and appeared in front of Tan Yun in an instant.
He spoke angrily:
“10th Elder!”
“According to the sect rules—”
“If what Tan Yun said is true…”
“And Liu Rulong was the one who tried to kill him first…”
“Then Tan Yun killing Liu Rulong…”
“does not count as violating the sect rules!”
Shen Qingqiu stared directly at Guo Zhengshou
before speaking sternly:
“As an elder—”
“do you not understand this rule?!”
“I understand!”
Guo Zhengshou roared loudly, his eyes filled with hatred as he glared at Shen Qingqiu.
Qiu Yongchong was no different.
In the hearts of both men,
they hated Shen Qingqiu to the bone.
If last time
Shen Qingqiu had not helped Tan Yun escape from their hands,
Tan Yun would have died long ago.
And the matter of Liu Rulong being killed would never have happened!
Therefore,
the hatred they had toward Tan Yun
was now also directed at Shen Qingqiu.
In their eyes,
Shen Qingqiu was the accomplice in Liu Rulong’s death!
“Since you understand, then do not touch Tan Yun!”
After Shen Qingqiu finished speaking,
suddenly—
Tan Yun seemed to have lost his mind.
He suddenly shouted in fury,
“Law Enforcement Elder! Tenth Elder!”
“This disciple is innocent!”
“Liu Rulong wanted to kill me!”
“But in the end, I killed him instead!”
“He deserved to die!”
Tan Yun clenched his fists tightly, his face filled with grievance.
“Even though you are elders…”
“Before so many people…”
“What right do you have to kill a disciple!”
“I am so angry I can hardly endure it anymore!”
“A scholar may be killed, but not humiliated!”
“I will step onto the duel arena and fight you to the death—”
Suddenly,
Tan Yun quickly covered his own mouth,
as if he had just realized
that he had accidentally said something he should not have said.
“Tan Yun!”
Shen Qingqiu immediately turned around and shouted at him.
His eyes were filled with disappointment.
“Have you gone mad?!”
“Why are you being so reckless!”
He had never expected
Tan Yun to act so impulsively.
Was this not simply seeking death?
Facing Shen Qingqiu’s reprimand,
Tan Yun’s face turned pale.
He quickly lowered his head.
“I’m sorry, Elder…”
“I was too angry just now and spoke without thinking.”
“I… I won’t duel with you anymore…”
Qiu Yongchong sneered.
“A life-and-death duel is not a game.”
“I, as the Law Enforcement Elder, accept the challenge you just declared!”
“That’s right!”
Guo Zhengshou looked at Shen Qingqiu coldly
before speaking in a stern voice.
“Grand Elder.”
“Tan Yun’s life-and-death challenge against me and the Law Enforcement Elder…”
“More than 1,000,000 outer-sect disciples have heard it!”
“The ancestors of the sect established the rule that”
“once a challenge has been accepted,”
“the challenger must step onto the duel arena!”
“Even if Tan Yun wishes to withdraw now…”
“it is impossible!”
Hearing this,
Shen Qingqiu clenched his teeth.
He glanced at Guo Zhengshou and Qiu Yongchong,
but he could not refute it.
Then,
he turned to look at Tan Yun.
His aged eyes
were filled with even deeper disappointment.
Tan Yun displayed an expression of extreme remorse and fear.
He shook his head violently.
“Law Enforcement Elder… Tenth Elder…”
“Everyone here can testify for me!”
“I was only speaking nonsense in anger just now!”
“How can you take it seriously…”
“I don’t want to duel…”
“I don’t want to…”
“No matter the reason,”
Guo Zhengshou stared at Tan Yun with the gaze of a predator.
“You challenged us to a life-and-death duel.”
“This is a fact that cannot be denied!”
“Now…”
“You only have 2 choices.”
“Choice 1.”
“Step onto the duel arena and die like a man!”
“Choice 2.”
“I will execute you immediately for insulting an elder!”
“Choose!”
Hearing this,
Tan Yun fell silent for a long time.
His body trembled.
His teeth chattered.
Finally, he spoke in a shaking voice.
“This disciple… chooses…”
“to step onto the duel arena…”
“Hmph!”
Qiu Yongchong snorted coldly.
“I, the Law Enforcement Elder, will make sure you die in a horrifying manner!”
His voice was filled with rage.
Then,
his body turned into a blur
and shot onto the duel arena beside the Hidden Dragon Ranking monument.
He looked down at Guo Zhengshou.
“Tenth Elder.”
“I alone am enough.”
“You do not need to take action.”
“No!”
Guo Zhengshou roared.
His face turned red with anger.
When he thought about Liu Rulong’s death,
his rage surged uncontrollably.
“I will tear that brat into pieces with my own hands!”
“Otherwise… the hatred in my heart will never fade!”
As soon as he finished speaking,
his figure vanished from where he stood.
In the blink of an eye,
he appeared on the duel arena.
He stared at Tan Yun with a vicious gaze
before shouting,
“Come up here… and die!”
Tan Yun’s eyes were still filled with fear.
But when he turned back to look at
Mu Mengyi, Zhong Wushiyao, and Xue Ziyan,
only the 3 women
noticed something.
At the corner of Tan Yun’s lips,
a faint smile
appeared for a brief moment.
A smile that
hid a blade within it. ⚔️
