The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Yes… we are just servant disciples, but that doesn’t mean you can look down on us!” After speaking, Da Niu slapped him again before stepping back, still unsatisfied. And Cao Bin already intended to harm you, insulted my herb courtyard disciples, and even had killing intent toward me.” “Not killing him today was already mercy on my part.” “If he refuses to learn his lesson, I will personally take his life next time.” He paused, then gently kissed her forehead. Not far away, Gongsun Ruoxi quietly ...
Upon hearing those words, Cao Bin’s eyes turned red with rage and fear. He stared at Tan Yun with a mixture of dread and hatred, clearly sensing an absolute and unyielding intent—one that left no room for negotiation.
If he refused to submit, he would undoubtedly suffer even worse torment!
In his heart, he silently swore:
“Tan Yun… I, Cao Bin, swear I will make you pay back today’s humiliation tenfold!”
After making his decision, Cao Bin nodded slightly—even while his head was still being pressed down by Tan Yun’s foot—signaling his submission.
Only then did Tan Yun lift his foot, his expression cold. He did not even spare Cao Bin a glance. He knew clearly—if Cao Bin dared to utter even half a word more, he would immediately destroy that remaining right arm.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Despite the agony that made him feel like his body was tearing apart, with his left arm and both legs already crippled, Cao Bin still gritted his teeth and slapped his own face 3 times in succession with his right hand.
After that, he summoned his spirit flying vessel, preparing to escape.
However, in the next instant, Tan Yun raised his foot again and stepped firmly on his back, a cold smile forming on his lips.
“Tan Yun! You… are going back on your word?!” Cao Bin’s voice trembled in fear.
Tan Yun ignored him completely. Instead, he turned to look at the herb courtyard disciples and said in a deep voice:
“You all, make him pay twice as much—for insulting the disciples of our herb courtyard!”
“Hehe… I’ll go first!”
Da Niu laughed coldly. He walked up to Tan Yun, crouched down, grabbed Cao Bin’s hair, and slapped his face hard.
“Who do you think you are? Yes… we are just servant disciples, but that doesn’t mean you can look down on us!”
After speaking, Da Niu slapped him again before stepping back, still unsatisfied.
Humiliation!
Cao Bin felt only overwhelming humiliation, as if it was devouring his very soul.
And when he saw over 700 herb courtyard disciples walking forward one after another, his body trembled violently with uncontrollable rage and hatred. He roared hoarsely:
“Tan Yun! A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! How dare you do this to me!”
Tan Yun pressed his foot lightly on his back, his eyes cold and emotionless.
“If not for the sect rules, do you think you would still be alive right now?”
“Besides… in my eyes, you are not a scholar. You are nothing but a dog.”
He continued, his tone icy:
“You said I am not allowed to humiliate you, yet you dare to humiliate the disciples of my herb courtyard?”
With that, Tan Yun lifted his foot from Cao Bin’s back and stepped onto his right arm instead. Then he spoke to everyone:
“Begin!”
In an instant, all the herb courtyard disciples became excited, their respect for Tan Yun growing uncontrollably.
Pa!
Pa!
Pa!
The sound of slaps rang out continuously without end.
More than 700 disciples stepped forward one after another, slapping Cao Bin’s face relentlessly.
By the time the last person finished, Cao Bin was barely recognizable—his face swollen beyond recognition, his eyes tightly shut as he endured the humiliation in silence.
The final disciple was still unsatisfied and shouted coldly:
“Just a low-level Meridian Condensation Realm trash, yet you dare act so arrogantly in our herb courtyard!”
With that, he slapped Cao Bin dozens more times, then punched his nose, sending blood gushing out violently.
The moment those words were spoken, Cao Bin’s eyes burned red with hatred and humiliation. His gaze fixed on Tan Yun, filled with killing intent so intense it seemed almost tangible.
“Tan Yun… I will kill you for sure!”
He screamed inwardly.
Tan Yun spoke calmly.
“Enough. You can leave now.”
With that, he lifted his foot from Cao Bin’s right arm.
Cao Bin, trembling all over, supported himself with his only remaining hand and slowly crawled toward his spirit flying vessel.
The moment his hand touched the edge of the vessel—
Tan Yun suddenly moved.
In a flash, he appeared above the vessel and stomped down directly onto Cao Bin’s right hand!
Crack!
A bone-shattering sound exploded. Blood and fragments splattered everywhere.
“AHHH!! Tan Yun! You went back on your word again?! What else do you want from me?!” Cao Bin roared in agony.
On the flying vessel, Tan Yun slowly lifted his foot.
Underneath it was a crushed mass of flesh, blood, and shattered bone—utterly gruesome.
“I told you to get out of Mount Cangling Immortal… seems like you are deaf,” Tan Yun said coldly.
“If you are deaf… then you don’t need those ears anymore.”
Whoosh!
He flicked his sleeve.
Two streaks of spiritual energy shot past Cao Bin’s face in an instant—
Slash!
Both of his ears were severed and flew into the air.
Tan Yun said calmly:
“This mid-tier spirit flying vessel… I’ll take it. Get lost.”
“AHHHHH!!”
Cao Bin let out a bloodcurdling scream like a slaughtered pig. He grabbed his severed ears with trembling hands, then rolled off Mount Cangling Immortal like a broken projectile, disappearing into the distance.
“Serves him right!” Da Niu and the others laughed loudly.
In their eyes, anyone who dared to insult the herb courtyard in their own territory deserved such a fate.
—
Tan Yun jumped down from the flying vessel and walked toward Zhong Wushiyao, whose face had turned slightly pale.
“Wushiyao… did I scare you?” he asked gently.
Zhong Wushiyao stepped into his arms, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.
“No…”
“But Tan Yun… Cao Bin is a favored disciple of Elder 5. If he returns like this, Elder 5 and my master will definitely be furious. I’m afraid they will come after you.”
“You silly girl, don’t worry.”
Tan Yun held her slender waist, his expression calm and confident.
“The alchemy lineage and weapon lineage were never on good terms to begin with. And Cao Bin already intended to harm you, insulted my herb courtyard disciples, and even had killing intent toward me.”
“Not killing him today was already mercy on my part.”
“If he refuses to learn his lesson, I will personally take his life next time.”
He paused, then gently kissed her forehead.
“Wushiyao, look at me.”
Zhong Wushiyao raised her head, her eyes filled with uncertainty.
Tan Yun smiled faintly and said firmly:
“Remember this—I don’t care how many enemies this world has. I only care about one thing: no one will ever bully you.”
“Even if I have to become the enemy of the entire world, I won’t regret it.”
Those words struck her heart like a blade.
Tears welled up in Zhong Wushiyao’s eyes as she threw herself into his embrace.
Not far away, Gongsun Ruoxi quietly watched the scene, thinking inwardly:
“No wonder Junior Sister Zhong Wushiyao is so devoted to him… she doesn’t care about anyone else who pursues her.”
“It seems she knows some of Tan Yun’s secrets… she has always known he is not an ordinary servant disciple… but a genius among geniuses… or perhaps even a grandmaster-level weapon refiner…”
Tan Yun gently stroked Zhong Wushiyao’s cheek and smiled teasingly.
“Stop crying. Look, your face is all messy now.”
Zhong Wushiyao laughed through tears and lightly punched his chest.
“You still dare tease me? I won’t talk to you anymore.”
—
Suddenly, she froze mid-motion, her expression turning worried again.
“Tan Yun… what about Sister Mu? Will she be angry with me?”
“Don’t worry. I will speak to Mengyi myself,” Tan Yun replied softly.
“But I’m afraid… she won’t accept me,” Zhong Wushiyao whispered.
“She will,” Tan Yun said firmly. “I, Tan Yun, will treat both you and Mengyi well for my entire life. I will never abandon either of you.”
“Senior Sister Mu… Mengyi?”
Gongsun Ruoxi frowned deeply.
A thought struck her instantly.
“Could it be… Mu Mengyi, the final disciple of the Beast Spirit lineage elder… is also Tan Yun’s Dao companion?”
