The Supreme Being Against Heaven

The sun set in the west and rose again in the east.

1 full day had passed.

“Damn it! That beast has chased us for at least 2,800 li, and it still hasn’t given up!”

Tan Yun carried the white-clothed woman in his arms, panting heavily as he cursed in frustration.

Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and dripped onto the woman’s cheek.

The white-clothed woman’s face was covered with dust and dirt, making it almost impossible to see her original features.

But her clear eyes, like a flowing spring, were gazing up at Tan Yun as he desperately fled.

Within that gaze… were emotions difficult to describe.

During the entire night of escape, she had tried more than 100 times to persuade Tan Yun to abandon her and escape alone.

But Tan Yun… had never once left her behind.

Saving others to the very end!

Never giving up until the last moment!

This was Tan Yun’s principle in life.

Because if he truly abandoned her, she would certainly die.

If that were the case,

then yesterday he should never have saved her in the first place.

“You must be very tired, right?”

The white-clothed woman looked at Tan Yun with eyes full of gratitude. Her slightly parted red lips revealed 2 rows of neat white teeth.

“It’s fine. Don’t worry. We’ll definitely be safe.”

Tan Yun said without lowering his head to look at the woman in his arms.

While running, he continued glancing back at the Snowland Demon Ape, which was chasing them from about 1 li away.

Suddenly,

a cool sensation touched his forehead.

The severely injured white-clothed woman had raised her slightly trembling right hand and was wiping the sweat from his brow.

“Thanks.”

A faint smile appeared on Tan Yun’s pale face.

Then he looked down at her and said,

“When I entered the Snowland Valley, I didn’t buy a map jade, so now I’m starting to get a little lost.”

“In 2 days, the Grand Elder of the Outer Sect will announce something important. We have to hurry back in time.”

“Mm.”

The white-clothed woman nodded.

“If I remember correctly, the Teleportation Array is about 4,000 li north of here.”

Just as she finished speaking,

a roar filled with anger and resentment suddenly sounded from behind!

Tan Yun immediately turned to look.

When he clearly saw the scene before him, he let out a sigh of relief before bursting into laughter.

The Snowland Demon Ape, which had been chasing them like a mad beast,

had now collapsed onto the snow, panting heavily.

After getting up, it roared at Tan Yun unwillingly, then turned around and walked away in humiliation.

It was obvious

that it had given up the pursuit!

“Haha! That’s great! It stopped chasing!”

The white-clothed woman laughed in relief.

Her clear laughter, like the ringing of silver bells, echoed in Tan Yun’s ears for a long time.

After laughing, she spoke softly.

“Put me down. Let’s rest for a while.”

“That beast is quite intelligent. We still can’t let our guard down,”

Tan Yun said.

Then he continued carrying the white-clothed woman in his arms, his figure splitting into several afterimages as he rushed swiftly across the snow-covered peaks.

After 1 hour passed,

Tan Yun finally stopped and walked toward a clear stream.

He gently set the white-clothed woman down by the bank.

Then he bent down and drank some water.

At that moment, he glanced to the side and saw the woman crouching on a rock, using the water to wash the dust from her face.

A few moments later,

just as Tan Yun was about to stand up,

he suddenly froze.

Because the face reflected on the water’s surface left him stunned.

“So beautiful…”

Tan Yun exclaimed involuntarily.

The woman heard his words clearly.

She paused slightly before quickly straightening her clothes.

When she noticed that her white robe was torn and stained with blood, she glanced toward a dense bamboo forest not far away.

Then she said softly,

“Junior Brother, I’m going to the bamboo forest to bandage my wounds. Can you wait here for me?”

“And… don’t turn around and look.”

“Alright.”

Tan Yun replied without raising his head.

When the sound of her footsteps gradually faded away,

Tan Yun immediately dropped his composure.

He sat down by the riverbank without caring about his image and began catching his breath.

After a short while,

“I’m ready. Let’s set off.”

The woman’s pleasant voice sounded from behind him.

Tan Yun stood up and turned around.

The moment he saw the scene before him,

his eyes filled with deep astonishment.

He stared at her blankly, as if he had momentarily forgotten himself…

The woman had changed into a brand-new white long dress. The wide sleeves were embroidered with delicate pink patterns, and a flowing purple gauze shawl draped over both of her arms.

Her slender waist was tied with an emerald-green silk belt, highlighting her graceful figure.

She lowered her head slightly.

Her willow-like brows, oval face, delicate nose, and rosy lips like sakura petals all revealed her exquisite beauty.

It was as if a fairy in white had stepped out of the bamboo forest—

elegant and transcendent, as though untouched by the mortal world.

Because of her injuries, her steps were slow. Occasionally, a trace of pain appeared on her flawless face, making anyone who saw her unable to resist the urge to protect her.

When she noticed that Tan Yun was staring at her absentmindedly, her cheeks instantly flushed red.

“Junior Brother Tan, it’s time to set off.”

“Cough…” Tan Yun rubbed his nose awkwardly before asking,
“From here to the Teleportation Formation is at least 2,700 li. Can your body handle it?”

“Uh…”
The white-clothed woman showed a worried expression.

With her injuries, walking all the way to the teleportation formation was practically an impossible dream.

But if she did not return to the sect within 2 days, the Grand Elder would certainly be displeased.

Tan Yun seemed to see through her thoughts. He smiled slightly, walked to her side, then bent his knees a little and said,

“Come up. I’ll carry you back.”

“But… but…”
The white-clothed woman bit her lower lip tightly, her expression clearly hesitant.

“But what?” Tan Yun turned and smiled awkwardly.
“Didn’t I carry you all night yesterday already? If you still won’t get on, I’m leaving.”

“Don’t!”
The white-clothed woman murmured softly, her cheeks flushing red as she climbed onto Tan Yun’s back.

At that moment, the unique scent of the young man drifted into her breath.
The thought that she was being carried by a strange man made her heart pound uncontrollably.

“Don’t be nervous. I’m not going to eat you,” Tan Yun said bluntly.
“The road is long, so we have to hurry. You should hold my neck with both hands. Otherwise, if I drop you, I won’t take responsibility.”

The moment he finished speaking,

the white-clothed woman’s face instantly turned red.

Tan Yun’s hands held firmly onto her slender thighs, and the two of them began running across the snow!

The woman felt extremely embarrassed that a strange man was holding her legs.
She felt both shy and too embarrassed to wrap her arms around Tan Yun’s neck…

Time slowly passed.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the sky gradually darkened.

A massive snow mountain blocked their path.
If they went around it, it would waste time and make the journey longer.

Tan Yun took a deep breath before rushing upward along the steep path toward the summit.

As the path became steeper,

the woman finally bit her lip until blood seeped out. Then she raised her slightly trembling arms and wrapped them around Tan Yun’s neck.

Time passed.

The sun rose and set once again.

Throughout that time, Tan Yun continued crossing mountains and valleys without stopping, trying to reach the Teleportation Formation as quickly as possible in order to return to the sect!

When the night grew deep,

the bright moon hung high in the sky.
White mist covered the land, making the world look like a realm of immortals.

Tan Yun climbed a cliff with his bare hands until he finally reached the summit of the snow mountain.

Under the moonlight,

the white-clothed woman observed the surrounding terrain before smiling sweetly and saying,

“Junior Brother, if we continue for another 1,000 li, we’ll reach the teleportation formation.”

“Good.”
Tan Yun nodded.

Then he looked in the direction of the formation with a serious expression and said,

“Tonight we’ll rest here first. Then we’ll continue our journey during the second half of the night. As long as we return to the sect before Chen Hour (7–9 AM), we’ll make it in time.”

Deep in Tan Yun’s heart, there was a bad premonition.

He guessed that once Linghu Changkong learned that he had killed 5 of his subordinates, including Wei Qi, the other party would very likely send people to deal with him,
or perhaps take action personally.

After running continuously for an entire day and night,

the spiritual energy in his Spirit Pool had dropped to less than 40%.

Tonight, he had to rest

so he could recover his strength to his best condition again…
