The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Her body traced an arc through the air before plunging toward the deep pool beneath the sharp rocks below… At the same time, Tan Yun’s back slammed into the rocks below from high above! Blood flowed from his 7 orifices, yet he did not make a single sound… After Mu Mengyi fell into the deep pool, the tremendous inertia caused her body to sink all the way to the bottom… Not long afterward, Murong Kun arrived, controlling the spirit ship and stopping above the curtain of the waterfall. While Tan Yu...
“Alright… I understand.”
Mu Mengyi suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. At that moment, she noticed that Tan Yun was holding her tightly with both arms while flipping his body midair. This caused her back to face the sky, while his own back was turned toward the sharp rocks in the valley below!
Suddenly, a terrible premonition arose in Mu Mengyi’s heart.
As if she had already guessed something, tears streamed down her face as she sobbed.
“We aren’t even related in any way. Why are you doing this? Tan Yun… if you do this, you’ll die!”
Tan Yun smiled calmly.
“If I don’t do this, and Murong Kun catches up, I’ll still die a miserable death… and so will you.”
He spoke in a calm tone.
“Don’t worry. I’m tough. I won’t die that easily.”
Suddenly, a powerful surge of spiritual energy rapidly gathered and formed a shield of energy covering his entire back!
“Remember my words—hide!”
Tan Yun shouted loudly before unleashing all the power in his right arm and throwing Mu Mengyi away with all his strength!
“Tan Yun…!”
Mu Mengyi cried out with a trembling voice. Her body traced an arc through the air before plunging toward the deep pool beneath the sharp rocks below…
At the same time,
Tan Yun’s back slammed into the rocks below from high above!
“BOOM!”
The heavy impact was swallowed by the roaring sound of the waterfall.
Fragments of rock flew everywhere. The massive boulder instantly cracked open with huge fractures.
Tan Yun’s body was driven deep into the stone by more than 10 ft.
He lay motionless, staring up at the sky with wide-open eyes. Blood flowed from his 7 orifices, yet he did not make a single sound…
After Mu Mengyi fell into the deep pool,
the tremendous inertia caused her body to sink all the way to the bottom…
Not long afterward,
Murong Kun arrived, controlling the spirit ship and stopping above the curtain of the waterfall.
Thinking about how Tan Yun had ruined his plan—and even cut off his ear—Murong Kun’s face twisted into an ugly expression.
His hair fluttered wildly.
He immediately released his spiritual sense to scan Tan Yun’s body and discovered that there was no breath left at all!
“You bastard! You should be grateful that you’re already dead. Otherwise, I would make you regret ever being born into this world!”
Murong Kun cursed viciously.
Then he released the spiritual sense of a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Embryonic Soul Realm, sweeping the surrounding area within a radius of 15 li to search for Mu Mengyi’s body.
Normally, cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Embryonic Soul Realm could only extend their spiritual sense to cover 10 li.
However, Murong Kun’s spiritual power was 50% stronger than cultivators of the same realm!
After searching the area with his spiritual sense for 2 ke, he let out a cold laugh.
“She was poisoned by the Soul-Sealing Powder and had no strength left. Falling from such a height, there’s no way she survived. Her corpse was probably dragged away and eaten by mountain beasts.”
He sighed in regret.
“She is truly one of the 4 beauties of the outer sect… what a complete waste!”
“If I had known it would end like this, I should have made her my woman long ago!”
Although Murong Kun had an extraordinary background in the Huangfu Sacred Sect, killing a fellow disciple was a crime punishable by death.
Moreover, he had now lost 1 ear and urgently needed treatment.
Therefore, after getting off the spirit boat, he lifted a giant boulder weighing several thousand jin from within the valley.
Then he placed it on top of Tan Yun’s body…
Murong Kun then controlled the spirit boat and shot into the sky, accelerating as he disappeared toward the eastern horizon.
After Murong Kun left,
a beautiful head emerged from the shimmering surface of the water.
Then Mu Mengyi climbed onto the shore. Her entire body was soaked, looking both weak and pitifully beautiful.
Her long, messy, water-soaked hair fell over her slender shoulders. Her red dress clung tightly to her graceful body, clearly revealing her delicate and boneless figure.
“Junior Brother Tan… where are you!”
“Where are you… where are you…”
Dragging her weakened body, she staggered through the valley while shouting anxiously.
Her voice, filled with despair, echoed throughout the beautiful valley as if it would never fade.
“Junior Brother Tan… answer me…”
Mu Mengyi’s heart was filled with both gratitude and guilt.
She was grateful that Tan Yun had risked his life, disregarding his own safety, and jumped into the deep pool to save her.
And she felt guilty, because if anything happened to Tan Yun, how much pain would his family suffer?
As Mu Mengyi staggered forward, she felt increasingly exhausted.
To lighten her burden, she bent down and removed her heavy, water-soaked boots, then walked barefoot across the rocky valley floor.
Sharp stones cut into her feet.
But because her guilt was overwhelming, she did not feel the intense pain at all.
On the ground, only scattered bloody footprints remained behind her…
After 2 ke passed,
just as the effect of the Soul-Suppressing Powder was about to fully take effect,
Mu Mengyi finally found Tan Yun!
“Tan Yun! Wake up… wake up!”
Mu Mengyi climbed onto the large rock and looked at the massive boulder weighing several thousand jin that was pressing down on Tan Yun’s body.
She saw Tan Yun lying motionless, blood flowing from his 7 orifices, without the slightest movement.
She tried to push the boulder away.
But at this moment, she had no strength left at all and could not move it even a little.
“I’m sorry… I killed you… sob… I’m truly sorry…”
Tears of self-blame streamed down Mu Mengyi’s face like a string of broken pearls.
“Rest in peace. From now on, I will take good care of your family…”
“I will definitely kill Murong Kun… to avenge you…”
Mu Mengyi sobbed softly.
But at that very moment,
a weak voice mixed with teasing suddenly sounded beside her ear.
“Senior Sister… someone like me who is in the prime of life—how could I die so easily?”
Mu Mengyi’s sobbing immediately stopped.
Looking through the cracks of the rock,
she saw Tan Yun, who had previously been lying there with his eyes wide open. Now, however, he revealed a relieved smile, as if he had been reborn.
“That’s wonderful… truly wonderful… you’re not dead!”
Mu Mengyi laughed through her tears. Her smile was so beautiful it could topple cities and kingdoms.
“Truly beautiful…”
Tan Yun stared at her, completely entranced.
This was the 1st time since he had known Mu Mengyi for more than 1 month that he had seen her smile.
“What nonsense are you saying? If you keep talking like that, I won’t talk to you anymore!”
Mu Mengyi spoke with a slightly sulking tone before returning to her usual cold demeanor.
“I will never forget the life-saving grace you showed me. Are you… badly injured?”
“It’s nothing. After resting for 1 day, I’ll recover.”
Tan Yun slightly wrinkled his nose before raising his right hand and casually pushing away the massive boulder weighing several thousand jin.
The giant rock was immediately sent flying!
After Tan Yun stood up,
his blood-stained eyes suddenly revealed boundless killing intent.
“If it weren’t for my strong body, I would definitely have died today.”
“Murong Kun… one day I will make you repay this 10 times over!”
In fact, half a shichen earlier, when Tan Yun threw Mu Mengyi away,
he had already prepared his escape plan.
He believed that with a body strong enough to tear apart a mid-grade spirit weapon with his bare hands, combined with the spiritual energy protecting his back,
even though the impact from falling from a great height would be severe, it would only shatter the rock and cause minor injuries!
After his body became embedded in the rock,
he gathered his focus, held his breath, and entered a state of feigned death.
This plan might be seen through by some high-level cultivators.
But for Murong Kun, who was only at the Great Perfection of the Spirit Birth Realm,
it was more than enough to deceive him.
While Tan Yun was thinking about how to take revenge on Murong Kun,
suddenly,
a soft yet seductive sound of breathing drifted into his ears.
Tan Yun immediately turned around.
And when he saw Mu Mengyi’s current condition,
his heart began pounding uncontrollably.
A sudden surge of heat instantly rose from his lower abdomen…
