Seeing this—
Tan Yun suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of panic!
But in the very next second, he let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Mu Mengji and Shangguan Bingbing had reacted in time and withdrawn their swords first—
Otherwise, Nangong Yuqin would truly have died!
Whoosh!
Mu Mengji flicked her finger, sending a strand of spiritual energy into the center of Nangong Yuqin’s forehead, instantly sealing her spirit pool!
In the blink of an eye—
Nangong Yuqin became as weak as an ordinary girl, powerless enough that she could not even kill a chicken.
“You want to die? Not happening.”
Xue Ziyan said teasingly with a faint smile before grabbing Nangong Yuqin by the arm and dragging her toward Tan Yun.
At that moment—
The surviving disciples of the Huangfu Sacred Sect gradually gathered around Tan Yun.
Now, the only survivors were—
Huangfu Tingfeng
Ke Xinyi
Baili Longtian
Shangguan Bingbing
Jun Buping
Xiao Qingxuan
Lu Ren
Xue Ziyan
Mu Mengji
And Tan Yun himself.
In addition, among the 10 talisman disciples, only 3 remained alive.
Out of the 19 weapon-refining disciples, only 5 survived.
As for the 15 formation disciples, merely 5 were left.
Xue Ziyan lightly pushed forward with her right hand.
BANG!
Nangong Yuqin immediately collapsed onto the ground in front of Tan Yun.
At the same time—
Baili Longtian pointed his sword at Ru Yanchen’s throat and coldly shouted,
“Kneel!”
“HAHAHAHAHA!”
Ru Yanchen laughed bitterly before roaring like a madman,
“If you want to kill me, then do it!”
“You think you can make me kneel?! Dream on!”
He did not beg for mercy in the slightest.
Because in his eyes—
He was going to die either way, so why bother begging to survive?
Tan Yun looked at Ru Yanchen before speaking mockingly,
“Oh?”
“Good… then I’ll give you a chance to change your mind, and I’ll even give you a choice.”
“If you kneel and kowtow 3 times before the disciples of the Huangfu Sacred Sect who died here…”
“I’ll let you go.”
Ru Yanchen froze momentarily before looking at Tan Yun with disdain.
“Having fun playing games with me?”
“Pah!”
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning!”
“You just want to torture me before killing me anyway, don’t you?”
“Let me go? Hahaha!”
“Do you really think I’m an idiot?!”
Faced with the insults—
Tan Yun remained completely calm.
He stepped forward and grabbed Ru Yanchen by the throat with his left hand.
Then—
SMACK!
His right hand slammed hard across Ru Yanchen’s face!
SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!
The sound of slaps echoed continuously—fast, sharp, and deafening!
Tan Yun’s expression remained cold and emotionless as he slapped Ru Yanchen over and over again!
Within only 3 breaths—
Ru Yanchen’s face had swollen into something resembling a pig’s head, almost beyond recognition!
He glared at Tan Yun with hatred-filled eyes.
But before he could speak—
Tan Yun coldly declared,
“I always keep my word.”
“I’ll give you 1 final chance.”
“Kneel and kowtow 3 times before the dead disciples of my sect.”
“Then I’ll let you go.”
“Otherwise…”
But before Tan Yun could finish speaking—
Ru Yanchen immediately sneered,
“Otherwise what?!”
“If I actually believed you, then I’d truly be a complete fool!”
“Good… very good.”
The coldness in Tan Yun’s eyes instantly deepened!
WHOOSH!
He stepped forward, grabbed Ru Yanchen by the hair with his right hand, and violently smashed him into the ground!
“KNEEL!”
BOOM! CRACK!
Ru Yanchen slammed face-first into the ground. His nose shattered instantly as blood splattered everywhere!
“AAAAAH!”
Ru Yanchen screamed miserably.
Tan Yun yanked his hair upward again before violently kicking his left leg bone with his right foot!
CRACK!
Ru Yanchen’s left leg broke instantly, forcing him to kneel onto the ground!
“KOWTOW!”
Tan Yun grabbed Ru Yanchen’s head and slammed it into the ground 3 consecutive times!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Ru Yanchen felt as though his skull was about to split apart. His vision blurred while stars spun around his head as he groaned in agony!
Then—
Tan Yun grabbed his hair with his right hand and seized Ru Yanchen’s left arm with his left hand before twisting it outward violently!
“No… NO!!! CRACK—!”
Amid screams like a pig being slaughtered—
Tan Yun cruelly broke all 5 of Ru Yanchen’s fingers!
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Sharp bone fragments pierced through flesh as fresh blood splattered everywhere!
“Alright. I’ll let you go now.”
Tan Yun spoke indifferently before flinging Ru Yanchen’s body onto the nearby spirit boat.
The moment his body crashed onto the spirit boat—
Ru Yanchen endured the dizziness and excruciating pain, immediately forcing the boat to soar into the sky!
In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared into the distance, leaving only his hate-filled roar echoing throughout the valley.
“Tan Yun! Just you wait!”
“One day… I’ll kill you with my own hands!”
Faced with the threat—
Tan Yun merely smiled faintly.
Then the smile faded as he turned toward Nangong Yuqin, who was sitting weakly on the ground.
At this moment, Nangong Yuqin recalled the ruthless methods Tan Yun had used against Ru Yanchen.
Although fear filled her heart—
Her gaze remained resolute.
“If you’re truly a man, then don’t use despicable methods to humiliate me.”
“I admit that I lost.”
“If you want to kill me, then do it!”
“No matter what you do to me…”
“I, Nangong Yuqin, will never beg for mercy!”
Hearing this—
Tan Yun did not respond immediately.
He merely looked toward Mu Mengji and the others before quietly saying,
“I need to speak with her alone. Leave us.”
“Mhm.”
Mu Mengji nodded before leading Huangfu Tingfeng and the others away.
After everyone had gone far enough—
Tan Yun waved his hand and created a soundproof barrier.
Then he took a deep breath before crouching down in front of Nangong Yuqin.
But at that exact moment—
PFFT!
Nangong Yuqin suddenly spat directly into Tan Yun’s face!
Tan Yun frowned slightly, raised his hand to wipe away the saliva, then stared at Nangong Yuqin and spoke in a low voice,
“Not only will I not hurt you…”
“I’m also going to let you go.”
Nangong Yuqin’s slender body trembled.
Thinking about the tragic deaths of her fellow disciples, she clenched her teeth tightly and glared at Tan Yun with hatred-filled eyes!
Tan Yun sighed softly before speaking in a quiet tone,
“You don’t need to look at me like that.”
“You should know very well… if I hadn’t saved you during our life-and-death battle that day…”
“You would’ve died long ago already.”
He paused briefly before continuing.
“For now… put aside the hatred between our sects.”
“There’s only 1 question I want to ask you.”
“How do you truly feel about me?”
The moment she heard this question—
Nangong Yuqin became even more sorrowful and furious.
She answered coldly,
“Yes, I admit it…”
“What happened that day on Lonely Peak—wounding you—was my fault!”
“And I also admit…”
“I do have certain feelings toward you… feelings even I cannot explain!”
“Even though we barely have any connection at all…”
“Every time I see you, I feel strangely familiar with you… yet at the same time, it also feels strange.”
“Sometimes… whenever I see you injured…”
“My heart hurts so much that I can barely breathe…”
Hearing those words—
Tan Yun’s body suddenly trembled violently!
He stared blankly at Nangong Yuqin.
“So… you feel it too…?”
Nangong Yuqin laughed.
But it was a cold and bitter smile.
“Yes!”
“I admit it’s real!”
“So what?!”
“You executioner!”
“You killed so many people from the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace!”
“I don’t care what happened between us that caused me to feel this way!”
“But with hatred this deep…”
“I will never forgive you!”
Nangong Yuqin stared at Tan Yun emotionlessly before saying icily,
“Tan Yun, if you want to kill me now, then do it!”
“But if you don’t kill me today…”
“One day, you’ll regret it!”
“And if you let me go…”
“The next time we meet, I absolutely will not show you mercy!”
Hearing this—
Tan Yun fell silent for a long time.
Finally, he calmly spoke,
“I’ve gotten the answer I wanted.”
“You may leave.”
After saying that—
Tan Yun waved his hand and dispersed the soundproof barrier.
Then he flicked his finger, sending a strand of spiritual energy into the center of Nangong Yuqin’s forehead, releasing the seal on her spirit pool.
WHOOSH!
Nangong Yuqin transformed into a streak of light and shot into the sky.
In that instant, she summoned her spirit boat and directed it toward the eastern horizon…
Tan Yun stood there silently, watching the spirit boat gradually disappear from sight.
Within his star-like eyes…
A faint trace of sorrow quietly appeared.
…
At the same time, at the edge of the distant horizon—
Nangong Yuqin crouched atop the spirit boat as tears continuously streamed down her cheeks.
Her lips trembled as she whispered in confusion and pain,
“Why… did I fall in love with my enemy…?”
“And why do these feelings for him…”
“Appear for absolutely no reason…”
“Why…?”
