The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Then he spread his legs, pointed a finger between them, and said arrogantly: “Since you’ve entered the Lingshan Spirit Herb Garden, you follow my rules—Lord Cheng’s rules!” “First, crawl under me!” “Second, hand over all the spirit stones you have!” The moment Cheng Yaozuan finished speaking, the 20 lackeys behind him began shouting and jeering. If it weren’t me today, an ordinary 7th-level Nascent Soul Stage disciple would have been beaten to death by your punch!” “Bang!” Tan Yunjian lifted his...
Tan Yunjian frowned and looked toward the direction of the voice.
He saw a burly, muscular man with a large build, like “three thick, five rough,” at the 9th level of the Nascent Soul Stage, walking out from a cluster of buildings.
Behind him were 20 lackeys, all at the 6th–7th level of the Nascent Soul Stage.
The burly man strode straight toward Tan Yunjian. His body was packed with muscles, to the point that his servant disciple robe looked ready to burst, as if it contained explosive power.
This person was none other than “Cheng Yaozuan,” whom Niu Kang had mentioned!
“You bastard, what are you looking at, newbie?”
Cheng Yaozuan looked down at Tan Yunjian with disdain. Then he spread his legs, pointed a finger between them, and said arrogantly:
“Since you’ve entered the Lingshan Spirit Herb Garden, you follow my rules—Lord Cheng’s rules!”
“First, crawl under me!”
“Second, hand over all the spirit stones you have!”
The moment Cheng Yaozuan finished speaking, the 20 lackeys behind him began shouting and jeering.
“Tan Yunjian, hurry up and crawl! Hahaha!”
“Trash, get on your knees now!”
“...”
The mocking voices surged like a tidal wave, instantly spreading across a radius of 3 li around the buildings.
In the blink of an eye, several hundred servant disciples rushed out from the pavilions.
They looked at Cheng Yaozuan with fear, and at Tan Yunjian with pity.
But—not a single one dared to step forward to stop it!
Within the Lingshan Spirit Herb Garden, almost everyone had low talent, worthless spirits.
Only Cheng Yaozuan stood out, possessing mid-level talent and a “Metal Element Spirit.”
With such strength, no one dared provoke him!
“Damn it! I told you to crawl—didn’t you hear me?!”
Seeing Tan Yunjian remain still, Cheng Yaozuan roared in anger.
Tan Yunjian glanced at him as if looking at an idiot, then said coldly:
“Go to hell!”
“Let me ask you—since you recognized me immediately, who told you my appearance?”
“And who ordered you to deal with me?”
Cheng Yaozuan froze for a moment but did not answer.
Instead, flames of anger surged in his chest!
He had always been the tyrant of the Lingshan Spirit Herb Garden—only he bullied others. Whoever displeased him would be beaten half to death.
He had never expected that today—a mere “newcomer” would dare to insult him like this!
“Tan Yunjian, you’re dead! How dare you insult Boss Cheng!”
“That’s right! Trash like you doesn’t even know how to write the word ‘death’!”
“Boss Cheng, cripple him! Break his arms and legs!”
“...”
Amid the instigation of his lackeys,
Cheng Yaozuan’s eyes turned vicious. Powerful metal-element energy surged around his massive fist like a grinding disc.
In an instant, he lunged forward, smashing a punch toward Tan Yunjian’s chest while shouting:
“This is the price for insulting me!”
Seeing this, the lackeys cheered excitedly:
“Boss Cheng is mighty!”
At the same time, the hundreds of disciples nearby shook their heads and sighed.
Unable to bear watching the tragic fate about to befall Tan Yunjian, they turned their faces away.
But—
What happened in the next moment left everyone present utterly stunned!
Facing the powerful punch, Tan Yunjian neither dodged nor moved at all.
It was as if fear had frozen him in place!
“Bang!”
However—when Cheng Yaozuan’s massive fist slammed into Tan Yunjian’s chest,
a bone-shattering crack echoed!
It was as though the punch had struck high-grade spirit steel.
In a split second—blood mist exploded outward!
Cheng Yaozuan’s fist… shattered!
“Ahhh… my hand!”
His face twisted in agony, his mind going blank.
He could not comprehend how Tan Yunjian’s body could be so terrifyingly tough!
In an instant, his senses returned.
Filled with panic, Cheng Yaozuan instinctively tried to retreat—
But—
“Get back here!”
Tan Yunjian shot out his right hand, grabbing Cheng Yaozuan’s broken, bleeding wrist and yanking him back.
At the same time, he suddenly raised his right knee and slammed it viciously into Cheng Yaozuan’s face!
“Bang!”
Cheng Yaozuan’s nose shattered as his body was sent flying.
Yet—Tan Yunjian still gripped his wrist tightly, dragged him back mid-air, and smashed his knee into his face again with brutal force!
“Ahhh!”
A shrill, ear-piercing scream rang out.
Cheng Yaozuan’s face was smashed beyond recognition, his teeth scattered everywhere.
His body was sent flying over 30 zhang before crashing to the ground like a sandbag, unable to get back up.
He could only roll on the ground, begging for his life in a pitiful state.
“Tan Yunjian… please… don’t hit me anymore… please… I won’t dare bully you again…”
“Whoosh!”
Tan Yunjian’s figure flickered and appeared in front of Cheng Yaozuan in an instant.
He spoke in an icy tone:
“You’re truly vicious! If it weren’t me today, an ordinary 7th-level Nascent Soul Stage disciple would have been beaten to death by your punch!”
“Bang!”
Tan Yunjian lifted his foot and kicked Cheng Yaozuan in the chest.
The latter spat out a mouthful of blood as his body shot backward like a cannonball, followed by a loud “Boom!”
His body smashed straight into a building.
Wooden planks shattered, and faint traces of bright red blood could be seen splattered around.
Tan Yunjian glanced to the side and saw the 20 lackeys trembling in fear.
He fixed his gaze on one of them and said sharply:
“Go drag him here. The rest of you—kneel!”
“Y-Yes! I’ll go right away!”
The disciple rushed into the collapsed hall, grabbed Cheng Yaozuan—who was barely breathing—with one hand,
then threw him in front of Tan Yunjian before immediately kneeling down along with the other 19 people, their bodies trembling nonstop.
At the same time, several hundred servant disciples not far away,
after regaining their senses, rushed toward Tan Yunjian in excitement.
“Senior Brother Tan, well done! Beat that Cheng bastard to death!”
“That scum has bullied us for so long—he deserves to die!”
“Kill him! Senior Brother Tan, kill him! And those 20 as well—wipe them all out!”
“...”
The servant disciples surged forward.
Some held wooden sticks, some carried blunt weapons, others raised their spirit hoes high, ready to strike Cheng Yaozuan and his group!
“That’s enough. Everyone, stop!”
Tan Yunjian waved his hand and spoke calmly.
“Yes, Senior Brother Tan!”
Several hundred people responded in unison.
They all knew—the Lingshan Spirit Herb Garden was about to undergo a major change!
Everyone silently prayed that… Tan Yunjian would not become a new tyrant.
Tan Yunjian stared coldly at Cheng Yaozuan, who lay groaning on the ground.
“Speak. Who ordered you to deal with me?”
“N-No… no one… no one ordered me…”
Cheng Yaozuan stammered, his voice trembling.
“No one?”
Tan Yunjian smiled coldly, the corner of his lips curling into a chilling arc.
“We’ve never met before, yet you recognized me at first sight and even tried to kill me—and you still dare say there’s no one behind this?”
“Crack! Crack!”
Tan Yunjian stepped on Cheng Yaozuan’s left hand and crushed it forcefully.
The sound of bones breaking was horrifying!
“Ahhh… Tan Yunjian, I’ll talk! I’ll talk!”
Cheng Yaozuan screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
“Too late!”
Tan Yunjian stomped again, completely shattering the man’s left hand.
“Now talk!”
Cheng Yaozuan trembled violently and spoke in a shaky voice:
“It was… Senior Brother Li Zi’an… he ordered me to deal with you…”
“Li Zi’an?”
Tan Yunjian frowned.
“Who is he? What is his strength? And why did he send you after me?”
“H-He… he is a disciple of the 12th Elder of the Alchemy Line…”
“He is currently at the ‘Great Perfection of the Embryonic Soul Refinement Stage’ and possesses a ‘Top-Grade Lightning Embryonic Soul’…”
Cheng Yaozuan said weakly, his body shaking nonstop.
“Yesterday… he gave me your portrait… and only told me to eliminate you… nothing more…”
“Tan Yunjian… I’ve told you everything… please… don’t kill me…”
