Thousands of Primordial sword lights packed tightly together like a torrential rain of arrows, blasting toward Tan Yun’s back at a speed far beyond his own—each one carrying heaven-shaking power!
"AAAAHHH—!"
About **400 zhang** behind Tan Yun, within the chaotic void—
Amid roaring winds, a single point of black light shone like a star!
Suddenly—
That black point exploded, expanding into a विशाल vortex with a diameter of **300 zhang**!
The vortex was pitch-black, deep as a bottomless abyss!
Within it—
Dark death energy swirled slowly, releasing a terrifying devouring force, like a whale swallowing the moon!
It swallowed all **7,000** strands of Primordial sword light rushing toward it without mercy!
**BANG! BANG! BANG—!**
Each strand of sword light shattered rapidly inside the **Abyss of Death**—
At the same time, Nangong Yuqin, standing atop her flying sword, suddenly froze!
Large beads of sweat streamed down her pale face!
**PUFF—!**
Blood burst from her mouth!
Blood flowed from her nose and ears, her eyes turned crimson—tears mixed with blood streamed down like **bloody tears**!
Her body trembled violently—
She could barely remain standing on her sword!
**PUFF! PUFF—!**
She coughed up more blood—
And finally!
The remaining Primordial sword lights broke through the **Abyss of Death**!
Only **100 strands** remained—
But they surged straight toward Tan Yun… who had no way to dodge!
Tan Yun turned back and roared:
"Fountain of Light!"
**SHHK! SHHK! SHHK—!**
The moment his voice fell—
Hundreds of Primordial sword lights pierced straight through his body like a wall of blades spraying blood!
**CRACK! CRACK—!**
The sound of bones shattering rang out almost simultaneously—
His cheeks, neck, chest, and both legs were pierced through!
Both of his leg bones shattered completely—
Held together only by flesh, leaving his legs dangling limply!
Several ribs broke and pierced out through his back, blood dripping endlessly!
Tan Yun’s vision went completely dark—
His body fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the arena!
Blood poured from dozens of wounds—
Pooling beneath him into a glaring puddle of crimson!
He lay motionless in the pool of blood, his body twitching weakly…
Exhaustion surged over him—
He wanted to sleep… to rest…
Before him—there was only endless darkness!
He bit down on the tip of his tongue—
The metallic taste of blood spread through his mouth, the pain forcing his consciousness back!
Panic surged in his heart—
He had to get up… he had to keep fighting!
Gritting his teeth, Tan Yun pressed his hands against the ground, trying to rise—
But with his shattered legs, he couldn’t stand at all!
**BANG!**
On the brink of death, his weakened arms gave out—
His forehead slammed hard against the arena floor!
"Hmph—!"
At that very moment—
A beam of light, **10 chi** thick and brimming with life energy, descended from the chaos above!
It transformed into a radiant barrier with a diameter of **10 chi**—
Enveloping Tan Yun’s body completely!
Within the radiant barrier—
Light energy shimmered brilliantly, overflowing with dense life force!
This was Tan Yun’s final use of “Fountain of Light.”
He knew very well that his Abyss of Death could not withstand Nangong Yuqin’s Stage 7 Primordial Sword Art.
So he had already prepared himself to be gravely wounded!
Thus, in the very instant the Primordial sword lights pierced through his body—
He unleashed his last trump card… Fountain of Light!
At this moment—
The barrier enveloping Tan Yun amplified his already 10× recovery speed by another 11×—
Reaching a terrifying 110×!
It was barely sustaining… the fragile thread of his life!
"I have to get up… I have to kill her… otherwise she’ll kill me…"
Tan Yun’s gaze drifted as he used the last of his strength to slowly turn his head, pressing his left cheek against the arena floor.
But—
He had no strength left…
"Ugh—"
A faint groan filled with pain echoed from the sky.
Nangong Yuqin, struck by the backlash—
Fell from her flying sword, blood pouring from all 7 orifices!
Her body crashed down just 3 zhang away from Tan Yun!
She landed face-first—
Her crimson eyes shut tightly, blood flowing from her lips like scattered pearls.
Her head sank into a pool of blood!
Her pale face was filled with agony—
Dressed in pink, she looked like a fallen fairy… on the verge of death.
Beautiful… yet heartbreaking.
And in the next instant—
Her face became still…
No breath remained!
At that moment—
Tan Yun did not laugh.
There wasn’t even a hint of a smile on his face.
His fading gaze locked onto Nangong Yuqin’s face—
That strange sense of familiarity surged like a tidal wave of sorrow, swallowing his heart!
His heart trembled—
His body shook!
An indescribable fear rose within him—
As if his heart were about to shatter!
He… was afraid of losing her—
An enemy who felt both чужой… and familiar!
Grief welled up in his eyes—
He cried… in confusion!
"Don’t die… don’t die…"
Sobbing, Tan Yun stretched out his trembling right hand—
His blood-soaked fingers reaching toward her, trying to pull her into the barrier to save her life.
But—
His fingertips were still 1 chi away!
He struggled to rise—
But his body wouldn’t respond… he couldn’t move at all!
"Don’t die… please… wake up… tell me…"
"Why… why does seeing you… make my heart hurt like this…"
Tan Yun cried like a lost child—
For the first time… he completely broke down!
His breathing grew ragged—
His heart ached so much he could barely breathe!
Suddenly—
He thought of something!
Ignoring his own safety—
He canceled the Primordial God-Slaying Sword Formation!
At once—
The Fountain of Light dissipated!
He gave up his own recovery—
Just so she could be found… and saved as quickly as possible!
As Tan Yun and Nangong Yuqin’s battered bodies appeared on the arena—
Zhuge Yu burst into tears, his face drenched with grief!
"Qin’er!"
"Saintess… no…!"
More than 200 disciples from the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace were stunned!
They had believed Nangong Yuqin would kill Tan Yun without injury—
But instead, she lay motionless in a pool of blood!
Shock and sorrow overwhelmed them all!
"Tan Yun…!"
Zhongwu Shiyao let out a heart-wrenching scream!
She rushed onto the stage like a madwoman—
But before she could reach him—
Tantai Xuanzhong appeared and blocked her, shouting:
"Don’t touch him! His injuries are too severe! Don’t touch him!"
"Sob… Sect Master, please save him… please…"
Zhongwu Shiyao dropped to her knees, repeatedly smashing her forehead against the ground—
Her forehead split open, blood flowing nonstop!
"Junior sister, don’t worry! The Sect Master is a Saint-level alchemist—he will save Tan Yun!"
Tang Xinying hurried forward to help her up.
"Sister… sob… I can’t lose him… I really can’t lose him…"
Zhongwu Shiyao collapsed into Tang Xinying’s arms, crying in despair.
"Don’t be afraid… he’s tough… he’ll be fine…"
Tang Xinying comforted her softly.
Meanwhile, as Gongsun Ruoxi looked at Tan Yun’s fading breath—
Her heart felt as if it were being crushed!
The disciples from the Alchemy Line and the Spirit Herb Garden of Huangfu Sacred Sect—
All had tears welling in their eyes… every single one of them!
