The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
His fists tightened until his fingernails pierced his palms as he roared in his heart: “Tan Yun… I, Liu Rulong, swear that unless I kill you, I will never stop!” After sending his aunt away, Liu Rulong hurried back to the sect immediately. Quickly—finish this and kill Tan Yun!” After speaking, the masked man in black was the first to jump down from the roof and rush toward Mu Mengyi’s pavilion. Logically, Linghu Changkong shouldn’t be so impatient to kill me yet!” “Could it be Murong Kun… or Wan...
“No… no!”
After regaining his senses, Liu Rulong burst into uncontrollable sobs. He threw his head back and cried bitterly, his mournful wails erupting from the depths of his heart, releasing the pain that had been buried within him!
For 10 years, ever since he joined the sect, he had missed home and longed for his family every single day. When he learned that he needed to become an inner disciple before he could return home to visit them, he cultivated even harder than anyone else. All of it was so he could reunite with his parents as soon as possible!
But now… his home had been destroyed, and his entire family had been slaughtered!
In an instant, Liu Rulong seemed to lose all his strength. His eyes became empty and lifeless as his body collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his cheeks.
“Long’er, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare your aunt!” Xu Yuejiao cried out in anguish.
“Long’er, even if you no longer have a home, you still have your aunt! You must pull yourself together and avenge your parents!”
The word “revenge” was like a rusted, dull blade stabbing straight through Liu Rulong’s heart, shattering the numbness in his mind!
Inside his heart, there was now only endless hatred.
“Yes… revenge! I will take revenge!”
Liu Rulong suddenly sprang to his feet. His tear-filled eyes now glowed with a savage, bloodthirsty light.
“Aunt, tell me quickly! How did my father, mother, and sister die? Who is the murderer!”
“Long’er, remember this well. The one who wiped out your Liu Family is Tan Yun, the son of the Tan Family from Wangyue Town!” Xu Yuejiao said with deep resentment.
“I heard that that beast has already joined the same sect as you—Huangfu Sacred Sect!”
Liu Rulong clenched his teeth so tightly that blood seeped from his gums. His fists tightened until his fingernails pierced his palms as he roared in his heart:
“Tan Yun… I, Liu Rulong, swear that unless I kill you, I will never stop!”
After sending his aunt away, Liu Rulong hurried back to the sect immediately.
He went to ask the temporary steward responsible for issuing identity tokens to this year’s new disciples, and received confirmation that there was indeed a disciple named Tan Yun who had joined the sect 25 days ago.
Moreover, after a careful check, it was discovered that among more than 1,000,000 outer disciples, there was only 1 person named Tan Yun. Not a single other disciple shared the same name!
At this moment, Liu Rulong finally became certain that the person who had saved his sworn younger sister… was the same Tan Yun who now had a blood feud with him!
Not only was Liu Rulong ranked No. 3 on the Hidden Dragon Ranking,
he was also the senior brother of 3,000 outer-sect law-enforcement disciples.
He went alone to Tan Yun’s residence, Courtyard No. 2017, but when he did not find him there, he ordered the law-enforcement disciples to search for Tan Yun.
By the time night fell, he finally received news that Tan Yun was with Mu Mengyi!
“Tan Yun… tonight will be the day you die!”
Inside his room, Liu Rulong put on a black outfit for night operations and silently waited for midnight to arrive.
…
The night was dark, and fierce winds howled.
Less than half a shichen before midnight, on the roof of a pavilion about 100 zhang away from Mu Mengyi’s pavilion, 9 men in black and 1 young man with sinister eyes were lying in ambush.
That young man was Murong Kun!
Murong Kun glanced at the 9 men before speaking in a voice so low it was almost a whisper.
“Everything has already been arranged. Soon someone will lure Mu Mengyi away. After that, it will be your turn.”
“You are all my trusted subordinates, and every one of you is at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. Without Mu Mengyi, killing Tan Yun will be as easy as flipping a palm. Don’t disappoint me.”
The eyes of the 9 men in black gleamed viciously as they answered in unison:
“Senior Brother Murong, rest assured. Tonight Tan Yun will definitely die!”
“Good. If this succeeds, I will reward you generously.”
After saying this, Murong Kun’s expression suddenly turned cold as he asked in a low voice:
“And if the matter of assassinating Tan Yun is exposed… what will you do?”
“Senior Brother Murong, rest assured. This matter will never implicate you. If the Law-Enforcement Elder uses the Soul-Searching Beast to examine our memories, we will take our own lives before it can read them!”
“Very good. I will wait for your good news.”
Murong Kun nodded in satisfaction, and his figure quickly vanished into the dark night.
Not long after, a female disciple hurrying along a road suddenly appeared. She stopped in front of Mu Mengyi’s pavilion and knocked loudly on the wooden door.
“Senior Sister Mu! Something big has happened! Something big has happened!”
“Who is it?” Mu Mengyi’s voice came from inside the pavilion.
“Senior Sister Mu, you must hurry and go take a look! Senior Sister Xue was just attacked by Linghu Changkong’s men. She’s about to die!”
The moment the female disciple finished speaking, a red shadow shot out from the second-floor window, landed on the ground, and revealed Mu Mengyi!
“What? Ziyan, what happened?!” Mu Mengyi exclaimed in alarm.
The female disciple looked around nervously before speaking in a trembling voice.
“Senior Sister Mu, please don’t tell anyone that I was the one who came to inform you. Otherwise Linghu Changkong will definitely kill me!”
“Senior Sister Mu, hurry and go see Senior Sister Xue. If you are late, you may not see her one last time!”
Thinking about Xue Ziyan, who was as close to her as a sister, Mu Mengyi had no time to think further. Her body turned into a blurred shadow and disappeared down the street in an instant.
After confirming that Mu Mengyi had left, the female disciple turned and nodded toward another pavilion about 100 zhang away, then quickly departed.
On the roof of that pavilion, a man in black spoke with satisfaction.
“Senior Brother Murong’s plan is truly brilliant! Mu Mengyi has fallen for it! Quickly—finish this and kill Tan Yun!”
After speaking, the masked man in black was the first to jump down from the roof and rush toward Mu Mengyi’s pavilion. The other 8 men followed immediately behind!
Meanwhile, inside the second-floor cultivation room—
Tan Yun, who had been sitting cross-legged cultivating, had just exhausted his spiritual energy after training for half a day. The external wound on his arm had not fully healed yet, but overall his body was not in serious condition.
Earlier, he had clearly heard the conversation between Mu Mengyi and the female disciple. Coincidentally, he had been planning to visit Xue Ziyan.
But at that moment—
faint footsteps, “sha… sha…,” suddenly sounded from the first-floor hall.
“Who’s there!” Tan Yun shouted sternly.
“The ones here to take your life! Tan Yun, now that Mu Mengyi is gone, let’s see who can protect you!”
A sinister laugh echoed.
“Bang!”
The door of the cultivation room was kicked open and shattered, wooden fragments scattering everywhere!
Tan Yun’s pupils shrank. The moment he used the Primordial Divine Eyes, he instantly saw through their disguise.
The 9 masked men in black were all at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm!
“Run!”
Tan Yun stomped the ground fiercely. His body shot into the sky like a cannonball, smashing through the roof and leaving a huge hole!
Then he used the Primordial Divine Step on top of the pavilion. His body flickered through the air 2 times, crossing more than 30 zhang, and appeared on the roof of another pavilion.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The 9 men in black burst out from the roof of Mu Mengyi’s pavilion.
Under the night sky, they moved like ghosts, their figures rising and falling across pavilion rooftops one after another as they relentlessly chased Tan Yun!
During the pursuit, the fierce eyes of the 9 men could not hide their shock.
They discovered that Tan Yun’s speed was actually slightly faster than theirs!
“This kid must have cultivated some kind of movement technique! Increase your speed and chase with everything you’ve got—don’t let him escape!”
One of them shouted an order while spiritual energy wrapped around his legs, instantly boosting his speed. The other 8 men did the same!
While fleeing, Tan Yun thought rapidly.
“Who exactly sent 9 experts at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm to kill me?”
“I just made a life-and-death duel agreement with Ye Tian. Logically, Linghu Changkong shouldn’t be so impatient to kill me yet!”
“Could it be Murong Kun… or Wang Futong and Liu Rulong?”
“Forget it!”
“Today, either I die… or in the future I will make every one of you pay the price!”
While escaping, Tan Yun turned back to glance behind him—and was shocked to discover that
the 9 enemies were now less than 100 zhang away from him!
