The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“Pfft!” Amid the billowing clouds of dust and smoke, Tan Yun, with disheveled hair, burst out through the dust curtain while carrying Xue Ziyan in his arms! A lightning bolt as thick as a bowl tore through the air with terrifying force and shot directly toward the Blood-Winged Lion, which had just flown 200 chi high! If Tan Yun had not possessed a physical body powerful enough to tear apart high-grade spirit weapons with his bare hands, and a body as strong as a high-grade spirit weapon, Murong ...
“Pfft!”
Amid the billowing clouds of dust and smoke,
Tan Yun, with disheveled hair, burst out through the dust curtain while carrying Xue Ziyan in his arms!
Tan Yun’s current condition…
was extremely miserable.
His entire body was covered with wounds. Fresh blood flowed endlessly. In many places on his limbs, the flesh had been burned away, exposing ghastly white bones!
Especially on his right cheek—
the flesh had been completely burned off, leaving only the cold white bone clearly visible!
But in contrast,
Xue Ziyan, who was in his arms, had not suffered a single injury.
Aside from her body being stained with dust,
she was almost completely unharmed!
“Waa… waa…”
Xue Ziyan cried uncontrollably.
She knew very clearly
that at least 10 lightning bolts just now
had originally been meant to strike her!
But Tan Yun had used his own body to block them all!
“Tan Yun… waa… I’m sorry… I dragged you into this…”
Xue Ziyan felt guilt, grief, and heartache.
The Soul Flame was still burning above Tan Yun’s head.
Fresh blood flowed from his eyes, dripping onto Xue Ziyan’s face.
That scene…
was heart-wrenching to behold.
“Ziyan, don’t cry.”
Tan Yun spoke softly.
“You are Mengyi’s good sister, and also my friend.”
“There is no such thing as you dragging me into this.”
After saying that,
his blood-red eyes revealed a resolute determination.
His next words
were firm and unquestionable!
“Ziyan… in a moment I will go deal with Murong Kun.”
“Listen to me and go to the place where we agreed to meet Mengyi.”
“There isn’t much time left…”
Tan Yun shouted loudly.
“Big guy! I leave Ziyan to you!”
“Take her and escape!”
“ROAR!”
Suddenly,
a Two-Winged Spirit Lion rushed out from the Spirit Beast Bag.
It leaped into the sky in an instant!
Tan Yun flung Xue Ziyan onto its back!
“No… Tan Yun!”
Xue Ziyan cried out in heartbreak.
At the same time,
the demonic aura of the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion surged out.
It flapped its wings and soared toward the clouds above the valley!
“Trying to escape? Stay!”
Murong Kun stood on his flying sword.
He swung his right arm outward from his chest.
A vast lightning power rapidly gathered around his arm.
Then—
when he pushed his palm toward the sky!
A lightning bolt as thick as a bowl
tore through the air with terrifying force
and shot directly toward the Blood-Winged Lion, which had just flown 200 chi high!
“AAAHHH!”
A scream that shook the heavens
echoed throughout the valley for dozens of li!
Tan Yun, who was burning his soul, with blood flowing from his 7 orifices,
suddenly appeared mid-air!
Spiritual power swirled around him.
He used his own chest to directly receive that bowl-thick lightning bolt!
The reason Tan Yun appeared mid-air at this moment
was not because he was faster than the lightning.
It was because earlier—
when Murong Kun was gathering lightning power in his right arm,
Tan Yun had already used the Primordial Divine Step
to leap into the sky in advance!
“CRACK! CRACK!”
The blazing lightning filled with immense power
struck Tan Yun’s chest fiercely!
Instantly,
his chest caved in!
3 ribs on the right side shattered!
Fresh blood spurted violently from his mouth!
Tan Yun’s body was blasted by the lightning
and shot into the sky like a cannonball!
“NO!!!”
Xue Ziyan, lying on the lion’s back,
looked down at Tan Yun below
and screamed hoarsely!
“Roar…”
The huge eyes of the Blood-Winged Lion
shed large tears that fell through the air.
It let out a sorrowful cry.
“Big guy… take her and escape!”
Tan Yun, who had been blasted 300 chi into the sky, shouted.
“If anything happens to her…”
“I won’t let you off!”
“On the way, if you encounter demonic beasts stronger than you…”
“Remember to be careful!”
“ROAR!”
The Blood-Winged Lion roared once,
giant tears continuously falling from its massive eyes,
before carrying Xue Ziyan into the sea of clouds.
Amid uncontrollable sobbing,
Xue Ziyan faintly heard Tan Yun shouting from below.
“Don’t tell Mengyi about what happened today…”
“If I don’t return within 1 month…”
“Tell her that I am searching for a precious treasure…”
“Try every possible way…”
“Do not let her come out to look for me…”
Hearing words that sounded like a final farewell,
Xue Ziyan looked down toward the sea of clouds below.
But…
she could no longer see Tan Yun’s figure.
She cried uncontrollably
and shouted back through tears.
“Okay… waa… I understand… I understand!”
“Roar…”
Suddenly,
the Blood-Winged Lion stopped flying within the sea of clouds.
It slowly flapped its wings.
Then,
its powerful front legs bent down
and it knelt in the air.
It looked down toward the direction where Tan Yun was.
Tears the size of fists passed through the clouds and fell below.
Although its intelligence was only that of an 8-year-old child,
it clearly understood
that this farewell with its master…
might be a farewell forever.
“BOOM!”
Tan Yun’s body, falling from the sky in a terrifying manner,
suddenly flashed with a faint light in his eyes.
Then,
he closed his eyes
before slamming violently into the ground
and lying motionless.
The Soul Flame above his head
flickered like a candle in a storm,
as if it could extinguish at any moment.
Tan Yun knew very clearly that
with the injuries he had now,
he was no longer a match for Murong Kun…
If he wanted to survive — he had to launch a sneak attack!
But Tan Yun also knew very well that
whether in power or speed,
Murong Kun was completely superior to him.
Even though Tan Yun was now severely injured and could barely move,
it did not mean a sneak attack would be easy!
The only way to create an opportunity
was to pretend to be gravely wounded and on the verge of death!
Only then
would there be a chance to launch a lightning-fast strike!
But Tan Yun also knew
that earlier,
he had already pretended to be dead once in front of Murong Kun.
So the other party certainly would not believe him easily again.
However,
at this moment,
Tan Yun had no other choice!
Did he regret
risking his life to save Xue Ziyan?
The answer was—
No! Not even a little!
He would never allow his family or friends to die before his eyes!
Having gone through countless reincarnations
and tasted the pain of watching loved ones die before him,
Tan Yun
valued family, friends, and lovers in this life more than anyone!
This kind of feeling
was something people who had never experienced such cruel fate
would never understand!
“Heh… heh… heh…”
Murong Kun floated in the air,
standing on his flying sword above Tan Yun’s head.
He looked down cautiously before sneering.
“You cunning brat… still pretending now?”
He mocked coldly.
“When you were buried inside that rock, you already pretended to be dead once.”
“And you managed to escape.”
“What about this time?”
“Are you planning to pretend to be dead again to escape?”
“Or are you waiting for me to get close so you can use some dirty trick to launch a lightning attack?”
After hearing those words,
Tan Yun, whose body was covered in wounds,
remained lying motionless in the grass.
His breathing was so faint it was almost undetectable,
like someone who was about to die at any moment.
But inside his heart,
his resolve was unshakable!
As long as Murong Kun dared to approach,
he would have a chance to release all the power he had accumulated in one strike!
“Tan Yun, don’t think others are as stupid as you.”
Murong Kun sneered.
“I know very well that your body is tough, and your explosive power is terrifying.”
“If I carelessly approach you…”
“you might actually succeed in ambushing me.”
He spoke with disdain.
“You trash, I will never give you the chance to get close to me!”
The smile on Murong Kun’s face disappeared,
replaced by a sinister expression.
A cold voice came from his throat.
“I really want to see…”
“how long trash like you can keep pretending!”
“Hmph!”
Suddenly,
Murong Kun flicked his right arm.
The surrounding air rippled slightly.
A bolt of lightning tore through the air
and struck Tan Yun’s left leg directly!
BOOM!
The flesh and blood of Tan Yun’s left leg exploded apart!
The tremendous impact caused Tan Yun to groan in pain.
His body was blasted 10 zhang away
before smashing into a rock!
Electric currents spread across his entire body,
and a faint burnt flesh smell filled the air.
From the knee downward on his left leg,
there was almost no flesh left.
Only a terrifying white bone remained.
Fresh blood slowly flowed along the bone.
The sight was extremely miserable!
If Tan Yun had not possessed a physical body powerful enough to
tear apart high-grade spirit weapons with his bare hands,
and a body as strong as a
high-grade spirit weapon,
Murong Kun’s attack just now
would have been enough to make him lose his left leg completely!
“Hmm… hmm… hmm…”
Murong Kun frowned slightly.
“Could it be that I’m being too cautious?”
His face was filled with cruelty.
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly,
he flicked his right arm again!
The surrounding air violently trembled!
In the blink of an eye,
3 blazing lightning bolts
shot downward simultaneously!
Their targets were
Tan Yun’s 2 arms…
and
his right leg!
