The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Just as Tan Yun had expected, Wei Qi was not an ordinary Level 9 Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. In the next instant, just as the purple sword light was about to strike again— The low-altitude space suddenly trembled, and 7 more sword lights, each 30 feet long, appeared simultaneously! Tan Yun immediately pulled back his left arm, seized the long blade with his bare hand, threw it to the ground, and then punched Wei Qi’s chest again with his left fist!
Just as Tan Yun had expected, Wei Qi was not an ordinary Level 9 Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
The technique he cultivated was the Monarch Sword Spirit Scripture, a high-grade Nascent Soul Realm technique. Moreover, Wei Qi himself possessed considerable talent. With this sword art, if compared among the more than 500,000 Level 9 outer-sect disciples, he could undoubtedly rank within the top 1,000!
“Primordial God Eyes!”
Tan Yun suddenly raised his head. His eyes emitted a strange red glow as he stared directly at Wei Qi!
However… after the gazes of the 2 met, Wei Qi showed not the slightest abnormal reaction!
At present, Tan Yun’s soul strength was comparable to a Level 9 Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Even though the Primordial God Eyes could not completely control someone of the same level, it should at least cause the opponent to fall into a brief moment of daze.
Yet Wei Qi was not affected at all!
This clearly meant that his mental power was far stronger than ordinary Level 9 cultivators!
“Nine Monarch Sword Slashes — Cleaving Mountains, Rivers, Sun, and Moon!”
“You piece of trash… die!” Wei Qi sneered coldly.
Suddenly he swung his sword down. A 30-foot-long purple sword light appeared and slashed down from the sky!
“Rumble—!”
Wherever the purple sword light passed, the air exploded with thunderous sounds, and the space within a radius of 100 feet trembled violently!
With just 1 strike, the tyrannical power of the Monarch Sword Scripture was fully revealed. Its speed had almost reached the limit!
“Hmph!”
Tan Yun snorted coldly. His body was covered in pale golden spiritual power, like a golden war god descending upon the mortal world.
He guided his spiritual power to surge into the sword in his hand. Instead of retreating, he bent his legs and launched himself upward, shooting into the sky like a cannonball!
“Kill!”
Tan Yun shouted sharply as his wrist flicked.
The sword in his hand immediately shone brilliantly. A 10-foot golden sword beam shot out and collided directly with the descending purple sword light!
Boom!
Purple and gold collided with a deafening explosion.
A massive wave of spiritual power spread outward in a circular shockwave across the low sky, like raging ocean waves!
The violent recoil force caused the ground within a 150-foot radius below to tremble like water. The accumulated snow shot upward into the sky!
In the blink of an eye, countless snowflakes engulfed both Tan Yun and Wei Qi!
“Not good!”
Tan Yun’s heart suddenly jolted!
Because after the sword light and sword beam collided and dissipated, the purple sword light suddenly reformed in midair!
And within a split second, it slashed down above Tan Yun’s head!
Boom!
Tan Yun raised his sword to block.
But the moment they collided, he was sent flying by the power of the newly formed sword light, crashing heavily onto the ground!
In the next instant, just as the purple sword light was about to strike again—
The low-altitude space suddenly trembled, and 7 more sword lights, each 30 feet long, appeared simultaneously!
Together with the original sword light, they formed 8 sword lights, covering the air within a 100-foot radius.
They tilted downward and slashed toward Tan Yun simultaneously!
The 8 sword forces resonated with each other, and the power of each strike increased by 8 times.
A terrifying aura spread outward, as if it contained the power to destroy the world!
“Damn it!”
Tan Yun’s face turned pale with shock.
He immediately used the Primordial Divine Step.
Each time his body flickered, he could move 12 feet.
In an instant, he hurriedly dashed away to a distance of 100 feet!
Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The 8 purple sword lights slammed into the ground like a hell of blades.
Sand and stones flew everywhere, dust filled the air, and the ground split open with cracks!
Wei Qi landed steadily on the ground.
When he saw Tan Yun fleeing in a disheveled state, he burst into laughter.
“Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! With that kind of speed, you can’t escape from me—”
His laughter suddenly stopped.
Wei Qi shouted in shock,
“Impossible! You’re only at Level 7 of the Nascent Soul Realm. How can your speed be this fast?!”
“What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot!”
At that critical moment, Tan Yun successfully rushed out of the range of the Blade Hell. Although he looked somewhat battered, he angrily shouted back.
Suddenly his figure flickered. He abruptly moved backward like a ghost passing through the curtain of dust, then shot toward Wei Qi with lightning speed!
Tan Yun would never give Wei Qi another chance to use the Monarch Sword Scripture.
He had to kill Wei Qi before the opponent could use that move again!
However… Tan Yun had slightly overestimated Wei Qi.
The Monarch Sword Scripture was Wei Qi’s ultimate trump card and the technique he relied on the most.
Now that he saw he still could not kill Tan Yun, Wei Qi was so shocked that it felt as if his soul almost left his body.
He turned around and ran frantically toward the cave not far away, intending to use the teleportation array to escape back to the sect!
“Hmph! Do you think you can escape?!”
Tan Yun let out a cold laugh. In the blink of an eye, his figure appeared above Wei Qi’s head, and he thrust his sword toward the back of Wei Qi’s neck!
Wei Qi hurriedly turned to dodge the sword.
However, Tan Yun, holding the sword in his right hand, swept past above Wei Qi’s head and appeared directly in front of him in an instant. Then he threw a powerful left punch toward Wei Qi’s face!
“You brat! I’ll fight you to the death!”
Wei Qi had no way to evade, so he had no choice but to counterattack!
In his panic, he slashed the blade in his right hand toward Tan Yun’s left fist.
Tan Yun smiled coldly. His left fist suddenly turned into a claw, and his 5 powerful fingers tightly clamped onto the blade that was slashing toward him!
“How can your body be this strong?!” Wei Qi cried out in shock.
Tan Yun immediately pulled back his left arm, seized the long blade with his bare hand, threw it to the ground, and then punched Wei Qi’s chest again with his left fist!
Disarmed, Wei Qi instinctively threw a punch in return.
But his punch was pathetically weak compared to Tan Yun, who could tear apart a mid-grade spirit weapon with his bare hands!
Crack!
Wei Qi’s right fist exploded instantly under Tan Yun’s punch.
Blood and bone fragments scattered everywhere. Under the immense force, the bones in his entire arm shattered piece by piece.
In the next moment, he coughed up blood and was sent flying like a sandbag, landing on the snow dozens of feet away!
“You brat… just wait… you’re dead for sure!”
Wei Qi staggered to his feet and fled toward the teleportation array, which was only 30 feet away!
“Senior Brother Wei, don’t leave me! Save me!”
Huang Feihu, who had lost both his arm and leg, desperately begged for his life when he saw Wei Qi running past him.
Bang… Whoosh!
Tan Yun looked at Wei Qi’s fleeing back, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Then he used the tip of his foot to kick the sword hilt that was stuck in the snow.
In an instant, the purple long sword weighing 3,000 jin shot forward at low altitude straight toward Wei Qi!
Wei Qi had no time to dodge.
With his left hand, he grabbed Huang Feihu from the snow and threw him behind without hesitation!
To save his own life, he did not care about his companion’s life at all!
“Senior Brother Wei, no—!”
Huang Feihu’s scream stopped abruptly.
The blood-soaked purple long sword pierced straight through his chest!
Under the tremendous impact, the purple sword and Huang Feihu’s corpse flew dozens of feet away before finally embedding into the snow.
“Leave your life behind!”
Tan Yun waved his right arm, and the sword in his hand shot toward Wei Qi’s back with a sharp whistling sound!
Stab!
Wei Qi, still in shock, could not dodge in time.
The sword pierced through his back and came out from his chest, missing his heart by only a tiny margin!
Thud!
Wei Qi spat blood and collapsed.
He struggled to crawl toward the teleportation array on the snow, as the fear of death spread through every nerve in his body!
Tan Yun’s figure flickered.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Wei Qi.
Then he ruthlessly stepped on Wei Qi’s right hand, crushing it into minced flesh instantly!
“Ahhh!”
Wei Qi screamed like a madman.
“Don’t kill me… please don’t kill me…”
Wei Qi did not try to threaten Tan Yun with the sect’s rules.
Because he knew—and Tan Yun knew as well—that according to the sect rules, if one’s life is threatened, self-defense is permitted.
If the opponent is killed during self-defense, there will be no punishment.
Afterward, the law-enforcement elders would use a Soul-Searching Beast to examine the memories of the one who acted, verifying the truth of the matter.
Therefore, Tan Yun did not hesitate to kill him!
“If I didn’t have the strength to defend myself, I’d already be a cold corpse by now,” Tan Yun said coldly.
“In your next life, remember this… don’t offend someone you shouldn’t offend!”
After saying that, he raised his right foot, preparing to crush Wei Qi’s head!
Suddenly, Wei Qi shouted loudly:
“I’m one of Senior Brother Linghu’s people! You can’t kill me!”
“If you kill me… Senior Brother Linghu will never let you go!”
