“Nangong Yuqin, you’re not even human—how can you be this shameless?!”
Gongsun Ruoxi held Tan Yun tightly, her eyes brimming with tears. She looked up at Nangong Yuqin on the spirit vessel, her voice trembling.
“During the Four Arts Competition, the two of you fought to the brink of death. If Tan Yun hadn’t saved you back then, you would’ve died long ago!”
“You’re utterly ungrateful! Tan Yun was clearly trying to help us, yet you ambushed him. How can you be so despicable?!”
“Ruoxi, that’s enough!”
Tan Yun coughed up a mouthful of blood. His sharp eyes locked onto Nangong Yuqin with icy indifference.
“I don’t care who you are, or what kind of past we had. But the moment you drove your sword into me… everything lost its meaning.”
“Get out of my sight. And don’t ever let me see you again. Otherwise… I won’t hold back.”
Tan Yun’s expression was as cold as ice.
As a former supreme being of the Primordial Chaos, he had his own principles for survival.
Yes—
He admitted that when he saw Nangong Yuqin fighting him to the brink of death, he had once felt pain in his heart.
But that feeling could never become a reason for forgiveness.
He remembered it clearly—when he heard she was in danger, he rushed to save her without hesitation.
And what he got in return… was a near-fatal backstab.
Tan Yun’s heart had already turned cold… numb beyond feeling.
When Nangong Yuqin met his distant, emotionless gaze, her thoughts fell into turmoil. She bit her lip, as if wanting to say something… but in the end, she chose silence.
Then, she steered the spirit vessel forward, cutting through the rain, disappearing beyond the mountain peaks.
—
Rain poured endlessly.
Nangong Yuqin stood unsteadily on the spirit vessel. Her right hand gripped her sword, bracing against the edge to keep from collapsing, while her other hand pressed tightly against her chest. She shook her head violently, murmuring to herself.
“Why… when I stabbed my sword into him… did my heart hurt so much…?”
“And why… when I met his cold, emotionless eyes… did I feel sadness…?”
“Master said that our life-and-death battle would end in mutual destruction… but just now, Gongsun Ruoxi said that he was the one who saved me…”
“What… is wrong with me…?”
“No! I have to find out the truth!”
“I need to know what really happened after that life-and-death battle!”
—
A solitary mountain peak… at its summit.
“BOOM!”
“BANG! BANG! BANG—!”
“AAARGH—!”
“ROAR—!”
The towering mountain trembled violently as massive boulders crashed down without end.
The Wind-Thunder Dragon coiled its massive body around the mountain. Its dark, lightning-infused head clamped tightly onto the neck of the Golden Dragon Lion, fresh blood gushing from the wound!
“ROAR!”
Although the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s body was far larger—over 300 feet long—the Golden Dragon Lion did not retreat a single step. Its fangs remained embedded, refusing to let go, as if it would not stop until it tore the dragon’s head clean off!
“BANG! BANG! BANG!”
Amid the pouring rain, the Golden Dragon Lion’s wings beat frantically, slamming against the dragon’s body again and again. The 3-zhang-long golden bone spikes extending from its wings, stained with blood, pierced deep into the dragon’s flesh repeatedly!
Its 4 claws, still embedded in the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s body, continued to tear and rend, ripping open gruesome wounds across its thick scales!
“ROOOAR…”
The Wind-Thunder Dragon let out a mournful cry. In an instant, its 300-foot-long body erupted with a surge of lightning—5 feet thick—crashing violently into the Golden Dragon Lion!
In that moment, the Golden Dragon Lion’s entire body was engulfed in blinding electric light!
And yet—
It still clamped down on the dragon’s neck…
Never letting go.
“ROAR—CRACK!”
In an instant, the deafening sound of bones snapping echoed through the sky as blood sprayed everywhere. The Golden Dragon Lion tore through the Wind Dragon’s neck—its throat severed cleanly as the snow-white head plummeted downward!
The Golden Dragon Lion shook its head violently, trying to break free from the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s fangs still embedded deep in its own neck!
“AWWW—!”
Having lost 1 head, the Wind-Thunder Dragon instantly fell into a frenzy!
It roared like a heavenly dragon, then in the blink of an eye, its massive body uncoiled from around the solitary peak!
Its enormous body twisted sharply—its 4 gigantic claws, drenched in blood, thrust forward and pierced straight into the chest of the Golden Dragon Lion!
“CRACK! CRACK!”
The sound of bones fracturing echoed from the Golden Dragon Lion’s chest. At the same time, the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s enormous eyes were filled with extreme shock—it realized that its claws… couldn’t tear through the opponent’s ribcage!
The Wind-Thunder Dragon let out a thunderous roar, filled with disbelief. It was a mighty Level 3 Tribulation Beast, yet it couldn’t kill a Level 3 Golden Dragon Lion still in its growth stage!
Originally, it thought it could rip its opponent apart with ease—
But it never expected that the enemy’s bones would be this strong… “beyond imagination”!
—
The clash between the 2 colossal beasts turned Gongsun Ruoxi, who stood atop the mountain, deathly pale. Her beautiful eyes were filled with uncontrollable fear!
“BANG! BANG! BANG!”
“BOOM—!”
Under the violent collision of the 2 beasts, the towering peak began to collapse!
“Tan Yun, watch out!”
Gongsun Ruoxi quickly supported Tan Yun and leapt into the air, summoning her flying sword and stepping onto it in one swift motion!
At the same time—
The solitary peak crumbled with a thunderous roar. Massive clouds of dust shot into the sky, even obscuring the torrential rain pouring down!
“RUMBLE! RUMBLE—!”
As the mountain collapsed, it swallowed both the Wind-Thunder Dragon and the Golden Dragon Lion, who were still locked in a brutal fight!
“BANG! BANG! BANG—!”
In the next instant, the massive pile of rocks—thousands of feet high—suddenly expanded before exploding into countless fragments!
Amid the swirling dust—
The Golden Dragon Lion, tightly grappling the Wind-Thunder Dragon, shot back into the sky!
At that moment—
The Wind-Thunder Dragon’s black head still bit viciously into the Golden Dragon Lion’s neck, refusing to let go!
Its dragon claws remained deeply embedded in its chest!
“ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!”
The Golden Dragon Lion roared furiously, its body erupting with golden demonic energy. Blood gushed from its neck and chest, mixing with the pouring rain—its condition had reached an extreme critical state!
As for the Wind-Thunder Dragon—it was no better. Its black scales had peeled off in patches, its entire body drenched in blood!
This was a battle between 2 opponents who were truly evenly matched!
A close-quarters fight—where no one could tell who would live or die!
Both colossal beasts were gravely injured, yet they continued to fight with everything they had!
—
Midair—
Tan Yun, his face pale, looked at Gongsun Ruoxi and spoke in a firm voice:
“It’s too dangerous here. Retreat now. I’ll go help the big guy.”
“Tan Yun, you’re badly injured, you—”
Before Gongsun Ruoxi could finish—
Surrounded by spiritual energy and gripping the divine sword “Wuhua” in his hand, Tan Yun leapt straight off the flying sword!
Amid the dark, pouring rain—
His body shot downward like a meteor, heading straight for the head of the Wind-Thunder Dragon that was biting the Golden Dragon Lion’s neck!
“Primordial Ice Flame!”
As Tan Yun appeared 300 feet above the Wind-Thunder Dragon, he roared and slammed his left palm downward!
“WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH—!”
In an instant, blue ice flames—6 zhang high—burst from his palm, transforming into a 30-zhang-wide net of fire that descended upon the dragon’s head!
“CRACK! CRACK!”
In a flash—the dragon’s head was sealed within a 10-foot-thick layer of blue ice!
“Die!”
As Tan Yun plummeted—
He gripped the divine sword “Wuhua” tightly with both hands, channeling all his spiritual power into the blade like a madman!
In the blink of an eye—
Sword light surged, forming a 100-foot-long blazing arc of energy—
And slashed down fiercely toward the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s head!
