The Supreme Being Against Heaven

As Tan Yun and Zhong Wu Siyao walked side by side toward the teleportation array,

every step Zhong Wu Siyao took

left behind bloody footprints on the snowy ground.

Tan Yun spoke sincerely,

“Just now, thank you for saving my life. Otherwise, I would have been in great danger.”

Zhong Wu Siyao shook her head slightly and replied with gratitude,

“Junior Brother Tan, you’re exaggerating.”

“If it weren’t for you, I would have died long ago.”

“When you were in danger, how could I possibly stand by and watch?”

Before this, Tan Yun had only regarded Zhong Wu Siyao as a fellow disciple.

But now…

he regarded her as a friend.

As for Zhong Wu Siyao,

she would never forget that moment—

when the Snow Ape bared its fangs at her,

Tan Yun had stepped forward without hesitation,

standing in front to protect her!

“Are you seriously injured?”

“Are you seriously injured?”

Almost at the same moment,

the two turned to look at each other and asked the same question.

Then they answered at the same time once again.

“I’m fine.”

After speaking at the same time like this 2 times,

a faint smile appeared on Zhong Wu Siyao’s pale face.

But only for a moment.

That smile was soon replaced by pain.

Tan Yun said,

“Don’t force yourself. Let me support you.”

He was about to step forward to help her,

but Zhong Wu Siyao raised her hand lightly to stop him.

“Wait.”

Under Tan Yun’s puzzled gaze,

Zhong Wu Siyao took out a snow-white handkerchief from her Qiankun Ring.

Then she said softly,

“Raise your right arm.”

A look of understanding flashed across Tan Yun’s eyes.

He raised his right arm,

revealing the white bone protruding from the torn flesh in a horrifying sight.

Zhong Wu Siyao carefully began wrapping the wound with the cloth.

During the process, she noticed that

even though large beads of sweat were running down Tan Yun’s forehead from the pain,

he did not frown even once.

She said softly,

“If it hurts, just say it. There’s nothing embarrassing about it.”

As she spoke,

for some reason, she suddenly felt that

the young man before her…

was someone with a story in his past.

It was a strange feeling,

but she truly felt that way.

Tan Yun gave a faint smile and changed the subject.

“Let me support you instead.”

Zhong Wu Siyao hesitated for a moment before nodding.

“Mm…”

On her previously pale face,

a faint blush suddenly appeared.

In the distance,

Ye Tian saw Tan Yun supporting Zhong Wu Siyao.

He gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart.

“That bastard Tan Yun!”

“How dare he touch the woman Senior Brother Linghu has his eyes on!”

“And that shameless woman!”

“One of the 4 great beauties of the Outer Sect!”

“Senior Brother Linghu has pursued her for so long, yet she never paid him any attention!”

“And now she actually lets another man support her!”

“Truly shameless!”

Tan Yun supported Zhong Wu Siyao into the cave where the teleportation array was located.

Zhong Wu Siyao stopped walking.

A worried expression appeared on her face.

“Junior Brother Tan, you were too impulsive earlier.”

“You shouldn’t have challenged Ye Tian to the Life-and-Death Arena.”

“He is a powerful expert ranked 98 on the Hidden Dragon List.”

Tan Yun paused.

“What? His ranking is that high?”

“No wonder…”

“Even though I’ve already broken through to Level 8, I’m still not his opponent.”

After being surprised for a moment,

the corner of Tan Yun’s mouth slowly lifted.

As if he were speaking to himself,

or replying to Zhong Wu Siyao.

“Impulsive?”

“Perhaps… that’s true.”

Zhong Wu Siyao frowned.

“Junior Brother Tan, tell me honestly.”

“In 1 month, how much chance do you have of winning?”

Tan Yun replied with great confidence.

“Even though I don’t know exactly how high my chances of winning are…”

“I firmly believe that…”

“the person who walks down from the arena alive in the end will be me!”

Zhong Wu Siyao looked at Tan Yun, who was filled with confidence,

then reminded him,

“Junior Brother Tan, although your ability to challenge opponents stronger than yourself is truly unbelievable…”

“Ye Tian… is still one of the top 100 experts on the Hidden Dragon List.”

“You must not underestimate him.”

“In the coming 1 month,”

“you must quickly heal your injuries and cultivate with all your strength.”

“Thank you, Senior Sister, for the reminder.”

After saying this, Tan Yun seemed to recall something and asked curiously,

“Senior Sister, I noticed that Ye Tian seemed very wary of you.”

“Could it be that your ranking on the Hidden Dragon List is higher than his?”

“Mm…” Zhong Wu Siyao replied softly.

Although Tan Yun had already guessed it,

when he heard her admit it personally, he still couldn’t help being surprised.

“Senior Sister… what is your ranking?”

Zhong Wu Siyao smiled faintly.

“Try to guess.”

Perhaps because she had begun to grow familiar with Tan Yun, she spoke with a hint of teasing.

If other Outer Sect disciples were to see this scene,

they would probably be so shocked they couldn’t speak.

Because in the eyes of the Outer Sect disciples,

she and Mu Mengyi were among the 4 great beauties of the Outer Sect.

Mu Mengyi gave people the feeling of an Ice Queen—

cold and distant from everyone.

As for Zhong Wu Siyao,

in the eyes of the disciples, she was a proud and cold beauty,

as if no man existed in her eyes.

Even Linghu Changkong, who was both powerful and had an extraordinary background,

had pursued her for a long time without ever succeeding.

Tan Yun thought for a moment before saying,

“I guess… your ranking should be around Rank 50.”

Zhong Wu Siyao laughed softly.

“In your eyes… am I that weak?”

Tan Yun was stunned.

“That’s considered weak?”

Zhong Wu Siyao spoke proudly,

“Mm… a disciple ranked 50…”

“for me… is still too weak.”

When he heard the words too weak,

the corner of Tan Yun’s mouth twitched violently.

He immediately asked,

“Then… between you and Mu Mengyi, who is ranked 4, whose rank is higher?”

Zhong Wu Siyao snorted softly.

“Hmph… she’s not my opponent.”

The moment she finished speaking,

the smile on her face disappeared.

In her beautiful eyes flashed a trace of hatred.

Tan Yun immediately noticed the change.

He instantly understood that…

There must be some kind of grudge between the 2 women.

Tan Yun planned to probe into this matter after he met Mu Mengyi.

Then he smiled and said,

“Linghu Changkong is ranked 1.”

“Liu Rulong is ranked 3.”

“Mu Mengyi is ranked 4.”

“Since you are stronger than Mu Mengyi…”

“then you should be Rank 2.”

Tan Yun finished speaking with a smile.

But Zhong Wu Siyao’s next words

made the smile on his face freeze instantly.

Zhong Wu Siyao teased,

“Junior Brother Tan, I already knew you would guess wrong.”

“There is someone else who holds Rank 2.”

“In truth…”

“My sworn brother and I are both ranked 3.”

Tan Yun’s heart jolted violently.

But he tried to maintain a calm expression.

“Your sworn brother is… Liu Rulong?”

“Correct!”

Zhong Wu Siyao laughed softly, seemingly not noticing his abnormal reaction.

“Junior Brother Tan,”

“my eldest brother is a true dragon among men.”

“Even though he is cold and ruthless toward others,”

“he still listens somewhat to a sworn sister like me.”

She continued with a smile,

“Junior Brother Tan, how about this—”

“After we return to the sect, I’ll introduce you to my eldest brother.”

“He will certainly be very grateful to you for saving my life…”

Before she could finish speaking,

Tan Yun interrupted in a calm voice.

“I just remembered that I have urgent matters.”

“I’ll take my leave first.”

As soon as he finished speaking,

he turned around and walked into the teleportation array.

His face instantly became serious.

He had never imagined that—

the person he had saved

would be the sworn sister of Liu Rulong!

Zhong Wu Siyao called after him gently,

“Junior Brother Tan, go handle your business first.”

“When I recover, I will come find you.”

But Tan Yun’s figure

had already disappeared within the teleportation array.

Zhong Wu Siyao murmured to herself,

“What urgent matter could it be… to leave in such a hurry…”

On her pale face,

a trace of confusion appeared.

…

After arriving outside the Spacetime Hall of the Outer Sect,

Tan Yun stepped out of the hall.

His eyes were filled with coldness.

He spoke to himself in an icy tone,

“Zhong Wu Siyao.”

“3 days ago, I saved your life.”

“Today, you helped me escape danger.”

“From now on… we owe each other nothing!”

“If you do not interfere in the grudge between me and Liu Rulong,”

“then everything will be fine.”

“But if you dare to interfere…”

Tan Yun’s eyes turned ice-cold.

“I, Tan Yun, will not show mercy either!”

Fate truly loved to play tricks.

Tan Yun had never expected that—

the person whose life he saved

would be the sworn sister of his mortal enemy… Liu Rulong!
