The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“Killing Tan Yun is related to the enormous bet between Senior Brother Murong Kun and Linghu Changkong.” “We must kill Tan Yun first!” A disciple in black asked in a low voice, “Senior Brother Peng, could Tan Yun possibly be inside the Frozen Well?” “Mm.” Just as Peng Zhang finished speaking, Chen Renqing, the leader of the 83-person group standing on the cliff, withdrew the spiritual sense he had been using to spy on Peng Zhang. “Peng Zhang, your strength and mine may be evenly matched.” “But a...
Night gradually grew deeper.
The Snowfield Demonic Ape that had been guarding the cliff seemed to lose its patience. Finally, it turned around and disappeared into the vast white snowfield…
The snowfall stopped at noon of the following day.
“Someone’s coming!”
Peng Zhang, who was sitting cross-legged on the ice, frowned and looked up toward the cliff.
Then he discovered that
hundreds of people had appeared along the edge of the cliff!
Among them,
173 people were wearing the robes of Law Enforcement Disciples.
25 people were dressed in tight black outfits.
Another 83 people were wearing their own clothing.
A total of 281 people!
The 173 Law Enforcement Disciples were subordinates of Liu Rulong.
Their mission was to capture Tan Yun alive or kill him!
As for the 83 people dressed normally,
they were subordinates of Lin Yi.
A few days earlier,
in order not to lose to Murong Kun in the bet of 80 million low-grade spirit stones,
Linghu Changkong had ordered Lin Yi to lead people to hunt down Tan Yun and kill him before Murong Kun could!
However,
among those 83 people, Lin Yi himself was nowhere to be seen.
It was obvious that
Lin Yi had already gone to hunt Tan Yun in another small secret realm.
As for the remaining 25 people dressed in black, whose cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm,
they were the group that Peng Zhang had previously ordered to gather manpower from within the sect.
Originally there were 300 people in total,
but only 25 people had entered this Snow Valley.
2 hours ago,
the 3 groups had coincidentally encountered each other on their way to the Frozen Well of the Sinister Valley.
After probing each other for a while,
the leaders of the 3 factions discovered that
everyone had the same target—kill Tan Yun!
The only difference was that
both the faction of Linghu Changkong and the faction of Murong Kun wanted to kill Tan Yun before the other side could!
“Senior Brother Peng! It really is you!”
When the 25 disciples in black saw that Peng Zhang was standing on the ice below,
they immediately jumped down from the cliff without hesitation.
After plunging into the Frozen Well,
they surfaced from the water and respectfully stood behind Peng Zhang.
Just as Peng Zhang was about to tell the 25 people that Tan Yun was hiding inside the Frozen Well,
one disciple suddenly leaned close and whispered urgently into his ear:
“Senior Brother Peng, there are 173 Law Enforcement Disciples above. They’ve also come to kill Tan Yun. The other 83 people are Lin Yi’s subordinates under the orders of Linghu Changkong!”
“I know.”
Peng Zhang nodded heavily.
“Killing Tan Yun is related to the enormous bet between Senior Brother Murong Kun and Linghu Changkong.”
“We must kill Tan Yun first!”
A disciple in black asked in a low voice,
“Senior Brother Peng, could Tan Yun possibly be inside the Frozen Well?”
“Mm.”
Just as Peng Zhang finished speaking,
Chen Renqing, the leader of the 83-person group standing on the cliff,
withdrew the spiritual sense he had been using to spy on Peng Zhang.
Then he chuckled softly.
“I must thank Junior Brother Peng for telling me Tan Yun’s location.”
Peng Zhang’s face instantly turned pale.
He immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap!
It turned out that Chen Renqing had secretly used his spiritual sense to spy on him without him noticing!
It wasn’t that Peng Zhang had been careless.
Because Peng Zhang was ranked 112th on the Hidden Dragon List,
while Chen Renqing was ranked 108th.
He had never expected that
Chen Renqing’s soul power would be far stronger than his.
Otherwise, he would have sensed it!
Peng Zhang stared coldly at Chen Renqing, his expression dark.
“Tan Yun was forced by me to jump into the Frozen Well!”
“I was the first to chase him!”
“Chen Renqing, don’t even think about stealing my credit!”
As soon as Peng Zhang finished speaking,
Li Yi, Song Guang, and 27 black-clad disciples simultaneously drew their swords.
The aura of the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm erupted from all of them!
Chen Renqing sneered.
“How ridiculous!”
His eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them.
“Peng Zhang, your strength and mine may be evenly matched.”
“But among my 82 junior brothers, 50 people are already at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm!”
“If we really fight, you already know what will happen!”
Chen Renqing pointed downward and said coldly,
“Listen carefully!”
“Tan Yun belongs to me, Chen Renqing!”
“Bring your people up here right now!”
He continued with an openly threatening tone,
“Otherwise, swords have no eyes. I might accidentally cripple you all!”
Behind Chen Renqing,
50 disciples at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm drew their swords.
They looked down from the cliff with oppressive pressure.
Meanwhile, below,
Peng Zhang and his 28 subordinates continued shouting defiantly back.
“Come down here!”
“Come down right now!” ⚔️
“Otherwise, we’ll come down there and cripple you ourselves!”
The shouting echoed throughout the Ice Valley!
On the frozen surface, Li Yi swallowed with difficulty. His body trembled slightly with fear as he spoke anxiously.
“Senior Brother Peng Zhang, their people outnumber us. Should we retreat first?”
Smack!
Peng Zhang swung his hand and struck Li Yi hard across the face, leaving him momentarily stunned.
“Retreat your mother! Do you have no courage at all?” Peng Zhang roared angrily. “We already lost Junior Brother Bama because of that bastard Tan Yun. How can we give up so easily now!”
“Besides, if Chen Renqing kills Tan Yun first, Senior Brother Murong Kun will lose 80,000,000 low-grade spirit stones! Do you think we’ll still be alive then?!”
These words were like a bell of awakening. Li Yi quickly lowered his head and apologized.
“Senior Brother Peng, you’re right! We will follow your orders. Everything will be decided by you!”
Song Guang and the others spoke in unison, their expressions becoming noticeably more determined.
“Good!”
Peng Zhang weighed the pros and cons for a moment before raising his head. His gaze was sharp like a blade as he spoke decisively.
“Chen Renqing, how about this! Let’s compete fairly. If you find Tan Yun first and kill him, I, Peng Zhang, will admit that I’m simply unlucky!”
“But if I kill him first, you must accept your fate as well!”
“And another thing—while we’re hunting Tan Yun, you are not allowed to touch even a single one of my men! This is my final concession. If you agree, then it’s settled. If not… I, Peng, am ready to fight you!”
The tightly furrowed brows of Chen Renqing slowly relaxed.
“Agreed! A gentleman stands by his word!”
“Then let’s compete fairly!”
Chen Renqing turned to look at his 82 subordinates before speaking in a firm voice.
“There is a Level 1 Tribulation-Crossing demon beast in the Frozen Pool. No one is allowed to separate too far from the group!”
“Understood, Senior Brother Chen!”
“Move!”
In an instant, spiritual power surged around Chen Renqing. His body leapt off the cliff and plunged straight toward the Frozen Pool below!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
50 disciples at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm and 32 disciples at the 9th level all jumped down from the cliff after him!
“Split into teams of 7 and enter the Frozen Pool!” Peng Zhang ordered.
The 21 people behind him immediately dove into the water. Then Peng Zhang led the remaining 6 people and disappeared into the pool as well.
On the cliff above—
“Senior Brother Zhao, should we also go into the Frozen Pool?” a Law Enforcement disciple asked the leader.
Zhao Zihu laughed loudly.
“Our ultimate goal is to kill Tan Yun. As long as the objective is accomplished, we don’t need to risk dealing with the demon beasts in the Frozen Pool. Wouldn’t that be better?”
“Senior Brother Zhao is absolutely right…”
The Law Enforcement disciples laughed in agreement.
Later, Zhao Zihu—who was extremely cautious—feared that Tan Yun might escape from the Frozen Pool by sheer luck. Therefore, he ordered 172 Law Enforcement disciples to spread out along the cliffs surrounding the Frozen Pool of the Demon Valley.
They formed a tight encirclement like an iron barrel!
Every possible escape route from the Frozen Pool was completely sealed!
1 hour later
“Not good!”
Deep within the water, Tan Yun felt a sudden jolt in his heart when he sensed that the auras of dozens of cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm had locked onto him!
“Previously there were only 3 cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm chasing me. Why has the number suddenly increased so much?!”
As the doubt rose in his mind, Tan Yun felt his hair drifting in the current.
His invisible spiritual sense immediately rushed upward toward the water’s surface.
Then he discovered—
10 li above him, 79 cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm and 32 cultivators at the 9th level were erupting with spiritual power, diving straight toward him with swords drawn! ⚔️
