Against The Sky Supreme

Chapter 127: Smiling With a Hidden Blade 🗡️

Published: February 24, 2025

“Impossible… impossible!” The elderly Guo Zhengshou, with his gray hair and murky tears, let them slide down his face, which was lined with the marks of time. He murmured as if he had lost his soul, “My adopted son is ranked third on the Hidden Dragon Rankings. He has been exceptionally gifted since childhood, a true dragon among men. How could he possibly die... This is absolutely impossible!”

Guo Zhengshou's face twisted as he pointed a trembling finger at Tan Yun in anger, “You must be lying to me, are you not!”

If looks could kill, Tan Yun would have died a hundred times over!

He was filled with a desire to shred Tan Yun into pieces! But in front of a million disciples, as an Elder Law Enforcement, he had to suppress his urge to attack and bellowed, "Answer me!"

"Elder Law Enforcement, Elder Ten, you two treat your disciple this way, I'm really scared," Tan Yun said, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes as he bowed deeply. His appearance seemed respectful, but the words that sprang from his mouth were undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire for the two elders:

"Please calm down, Elders. What you may not know is that Liu Rulong has a supreme talent beast fetal soul. If he is not killed by your disciple, his future is boundless."

"But it seems like he wanted to seek death himself. He probably grew tired of life and wanted to kill your disciple, so your disciple could not just sit back and do nothing, thus left him in pieces."

At this point, Tan Yun sighed, "Tsk tsk, what a tragic death. I can hardly imagine it; it terrifies me to think that your disciple would do something like that."

Tan Yun deliberately raised his voice, ensuring everyone present could hear him clearly.

His words immediately stirred up a huge uproar among the over a million outer disciples!

"What the hell, is Tan Yun crazy? Doesn't he want to live! He's clearly provoking the Elder Law Enforcement and Elder Ten on purpose!"

"Isn't that right! Tan Yun knows Liu Rulong is the only beloved disciple of Elder Law Enforcement and the adopted son of Elder Ten, yet he dares to say such things! Truly impressive!"

"Impressive? To me, Tan Yun is too arrogant!"

"Hehe, you are mistaken. Tan Yun is clearly foolish; how is this arrogance? Think about it, Tan Yun must have become too inflated after breaking through to the fifth layer of the fetal soul realm! Inflated to the point of not knowing the sky from the earth!"

"That's right! This brother has a point. It takes enough strength to back up arrogance. As for people like Tan Yun, I just find it amusing... Just watch, he’s dead for sure!"

The sound of ridicule and insults echoed in Tan Yun's ears, yet he remained indifferent.

The reason Tan Yun spoke like this was that it was all part of a meticulously crafted trap designed for Guo Zhengshou and Qiu Yongcong—a lethal snare!

His first step was to infuriate Guo Zhengshou and Qiu Yongcong to pave the way for their demise!

At the same time, Tan Yun discovered that Qiu Yongcong was still at the eighth layer of the fetal soul realm, while this old man Guo Zhengshou had entered the ninth layer of the fetal soul realm after two years.

So what if it was the ninth layer?

Tan Yun did not take it seriously at all!

"You're infuriating me, Tan Yun! I will butcher you alive!"

Guo Zhengshou's aged voice echoed for dozens of miles. Just as he was about to strike, Shen Qingqiu's figure appeared before Tan Yun in a flash.

Furious, he said, "Elder Ten, according to sect rules, if what Tan Yun says is true, Liu Rulong wanted to kill him, then killing Liu Rulong does not violate sect rules. As an elder, don't you understand this?"

"I understand!" Guo Zhengshou shouted, glaring at Shen Qingqiu with extreme anger.

Qiu Yongcong felt the same way; both of them despised Shen Qingqiu.

If it weren't for Shen Qingqiu rescuing Tan Yun last time, Tan Yun would have been dead already, and there would have been no incident of Liu Rulong being killed by Tan Yun!

Their hatred for Tan Yun also fell onto Shen Qingqiu; in their eyes, Shen Qingqiu was an accomplice in Liu Rulong's death!
