The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Then I will challenge you to a life-and-death duel!” “If you’re still a man… accept this challenge!” Ouyang Qian paused briefly, then sneered: “But in my eyes… you’re not even a man to begin with. “If you didn’t hear clearly—I’ll say it again.” “You shameless woman, I will accept the challenge from both of you at once!” “With only 1 of you missing… it wouldn’t even satisfy me!” These words— instantly enraged Ouyang Qian! He looked at Gaoyang Wushuang and Ouyang Qian, then spoke solemnly: “You 2 ...
“You killed my 3rd junior brother… yet you don’t dare fight my 2nd senior brother?”
“Fine! Then I will challenge you to a life-and-death duel!”
“If you’re still a man… accept this challenge!”
Ouyang Qian paused briefly, then sneered:
“But in my eyes… you’re not even a man to begin with. It’s no surprise if you don’t accept!”
These words—
were the most brutal humiliation toward Tan Yun in front of the crowd!
What man could hear this—
and not feel enraged!?
Anger!
Tan Yun was no exception!
“Crack… crack…”
His fists clenched tightly, bones faintly cracking.
He stopped—
then slowly turned around…
Slowly… extremely slowly.
When he faced Ouyang Qian—
his clenched fists… loosened.
His expression—
was terrifyingly calm.
So calm… it sent chills down one’s spine!
If Mu Mengyi were here—
she would immediately recognize it—
this was the expression Tan Yun showed when he was enraged to the extreme!
Under the gaze of tens of thousands—
Tan Yun slowly raised his finger,
pointed at Ouyang Qian—
then shifted it toward Gaoyang Wushuang.
His voice… completely devoid of emotion:
“I accept the challenge.”
“Killing 1 enemy… how could that compare to killing 2 at once?”
“You can come together.”
“Today— I, Tan Yun… will fight both of you to the death!”
His words—
were like a bomb exploding in the crowd!
A moment of silence—
then an uproar erupted!
Shock! Disbelief! Excitement! Confusion!
“I… did I hear that right? Brother Tan is going 1 vs 2!?”
“That’s right! It’s real!”
“Has he gone mad!? Senior Ouyang is Rank 45! Senior Gaoyang is Rank 36!”
“This is insane! Even if he killed Ye Ling before, he was only Rank 160!”
“The gap is huge—and he still wants to fight 2 at once!?”
“Do you think… he’ll survive?”
“What kind of stupid question is that!? No matter how strong he is, this is 1 vs 2, and both are on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!”
“He’s just too impulsive…”
All the noise—
fell into Liu Hongru’s ears.
His aged body trembled slightly as he spoke anxiously:
“Tan Yun! You’re being too reckless!”
“Accepting such a challenge… is no different from seeking death!”
“No! You cannot accept this challenge!”
Just as Tan Yun was about to speak—
Gaoyang Wushuang said coldly:
“Steward Liu, he has already accepted the challenge, yet you still try to interfere—”
“That would be a violation of sect rules!”
“This…”
Liu Hongru was momentarily speechless.
Gaoyang Wushuang turned to Ouyang Qian,
his gaze instantly softening.
“Xiao Qian… he’s not worthy of your action.”
“I’ll deal with him myself.”
“Mm—”
Before Ouyang Qian could finish—
“You shameless woman, what ‘mm’ are you giving?”
Tan Yun’s icy voice cut in instantly!
His eyes were as sharp as blades.
“If you didn’t hear clearly—I’ll say it again.”
“You shameless woman, I will accept the challenge from both of you at once!”
“With only 1 of you missing… it wouldn’t even satisfy me!”
These words—
instantly enraged Ouyang Qian!
She shouted back furiously:
“You lowly trash! I accept!”
“In a moment… I’ll make sure you die in the most painful way possible!”
Seeing his beloved humiliated—
Gaoyang Wushuang’s eyes turned blood-red!
“Tan Yun, begin now! Today I’ll tear you into pieces!”
“Wait!”
Liu Hongru’s voice rang out firmly.
He looked at Gaoyang Wushuang and Ouyang Qian, then spoke solemnly:
“You 2 are both future pillars of the Alchemy Line.”
“As for Tan Yun… his fate is tied to another person’s life.”
“This life-and-death battle is of utmost importance!”
He paused briefly, then continued:
“If either of you dies—Lu Wu’s 3 direct disciples will be reduced.”
“But if Tan Yun dies—the outer elder connected to him will also have to die!”
“And that outer elder… belongs to the Chief!”
“Therefore—”
“I cannot interfere in your duel… nor do I have the right to do so.”
When he saw this—
all 10 subordinates who had previously been “taught a lesson” by Tan Yun trembled in fear, not daring to step forward to help Peng He!
Tan Yun swept his gaze across the 10 of them and spoke coldly:
“Go… take his Cosmos Ring and bring it to me.”
“And drag him out of my sight!”
“Don’t make me repeat myself!”
“Whoosh!”
All 10 rushed toward Peng He almost at the same time.
A long-faced man quickly said,
“Brother Peng… a wise man doesn’t fight a battle he knows he’ll lose. Just hand over the ring!”
After saying that, he hurriedly removed the Cosmos Ring from Peng He’s finger and handed it to Tan Yun with trembling hands.
Then, the 10 of them supported Peng He and fled the arena as fast as they could!
Tan Yun watched their backs coldly.
Thinking back to how the 11 of them had mocked him before—
if not for the sect’s rules, he would have slaughtered them all long ago!
Just as killing intent surged within him—
the gate of the 99th floor of the Supreme Mustard Seed Pagoda… opened!
In an instant—
2 white figures rode flying swords, descending rapidly through the clouds!
“Whoosh!”
They transformed into a man and a woman, landing directly in front of Tan Yun!
Their eyes—
were filled with deep sorrow and hatred!
The young man in white—
tall and sturdy—
emanated the aura of the Great Perfection of the Soul Embryo Realm!
He was—
Gao Yang Wushuang!
One of Lu Wu’s 3 direct disciples!
Like Ye Ling—
he was a Saint-level Alchemist
and possessed a top-tier Time Spirit!
As for the woman in snow-white robes—
slender and breathtakingly beautiful—
graceful like a celestial fairy—
she was—
Ouyang Qian!
Another direct disciple of Lu Wu.
She was also a Saint-level Alchemist
and possessed a top-tier Space Spirit!
Among Lu Wu’s 3 disciples:
Rank 1: Gao Yang Wushuang
Rank 2: Ouyang Qian
Rank 3: Ye Ling
Although Ye Ling’s alchemy was not inferior—
in terms of combat power…
he was far behind!
Ranking on the Alchemy Line Battleboard:
Ye Ling → Rank 160
Ouyang Qian → Rank 45
Gao Yang Wushuang → Rank 36
Tan Yun didn’t recognize the two of them.
But seeing the killing intent in their eyes—
he frowned slightly and turned to walk into the crowd.
“Trash! Stop right there!”
Gao Yang Wushuang’s furious shout exploded!
Tan Yun stopped—
then slowly turned back.
His sharp gaze locked onto the other party.
“…Say that again.”
“You’re courting death!”
Gao Yang Wushuang roared, about to attack—
“Stop!”
A cold voice rang across the arena!
Everyone turned—
and saw an elderly man with a goatee stepping forward, exuding immense pressure!
He was—
Liu Hongru!
A steward under the 6th Elder, and a trusted aide of Shen Wende!
“Greetings, Steward Liu!”
“Greetings, Steward Liu!”
Voices echoed in unison.
“Mhm.”
Liu Hongru nodded,
looked at Tan Yun—who appeared slightly wary—and smiled gently.
“No need to be afraid. I serve the 6th Elder.”
“As long as I’m here—no one will dare touch you.”
“Do as you please.”
Tan Yun let out a breath of relief and bowed.
“This disciple understands.”
Just as he was about to turn—
Gao Yang Wushuang shouted:
“Tan Yun! I am Ye Ling’s 2nd senior brother!”
“You killed my junior brother—today, I will avenge him!”
“I challenge you to a life-and-death duel!”
Tan Yun sneered.
“Who do you think you are?”
“You think I have to accept just because you say so?”
“Idiot.”
After speaking—
he turned and walked away indifferently.
But after only a few steps—
Ouyang Qian’s voice rang out behind him,
filled with extreme contempt:
“Coward, Tan!”
“You killed my 3rd junior brother… yet you don’t dare face my 2nd senior brother?”
“Fine! Then I challenge you to a life-and-death duel!”
“If you’re still a man… accept it!”
She paused briefly, then sneered:
“But in my eyes… you were never a man to begin with. It’s no surprise if you refuse!”
These words—
were the ultimate humiliation in front of tens of thousands!
What man wouldn’t be enraged!?
Anger—
Tan Yun was no exception!
“Crack… crack…”
His fists clenched, bones faintly cracking.
He stopped—
then slowly turned around…
very… very slowly.
Facing Ouyang Qian—
his clenched fists loosened.
His expression—
calm.
Terrifyingly calm.
Calm… to the point of sending chills down one’s spine!
If Mu Mengyi were here—
she would immediately know—
this was the expression Tan Yun showed when he was truly enraged!
Under tens of thousands of gazes—
Tan Yun slowly raised his hand—
pointed at Ouyang Qian—
then shifted to Gao Yang Wushuang.
His voice…
completely emotionless.
“I accept.”
“Killing 1 enemy… how can it compare to killing 2 at once?”
“Come together.”
“Today—”
“I, Tan Yun… will fight the both of you to the death.”
