Tan Yun was burning with anxiety because he had keenly observed a barely noticeable protrusion in the bone at the center of the Tiger Roar Grand Marshal's forehead!
Tan Yun understood that this was a sign of the Tiger Roar Grand Marshal preparing to self-destruct the twelve emperor fetuses within the spirit pool!
He knew even more clearly that a great expert at the twelfth level of the emperor realm self-destructing an emperor fetus would have catastrophic consequences.
If the Tiger Roar Grand Marshal went through with it, the City Defense Formation would undoubtedly collapse, leading to dire consequences for the entire city!
Tan Yun's mind raced as he considered the implications.
He had to stop this at all costs!
With no time to waste, he quickly activated his spirit energy and began to formulate a plan.
He had to find a way to interrupt the Tiger Roar Grand Marshal's actions before it was too late.
"Please, I must find a way!" he muttered to himself, determination etched across his face.
As he focused intently, the atmosphere around him became tense, filled with the weight of impending danger.
He could already envision the chaos that would ensue if he failed.
The lives of countless people depended on him!
Tan Yun took a deep breath, channeling all his resolve, and prepared to face the challenge ahead.
He would not allow the city to fall into ruin.
With Xuan Yuan Rou's current strength, she would undoubtedly be shattered to pieces.
Moreover, and more importantly, once the Tiger Roar Grand Marshal activated the self-detonation of the emperor fetus, it would become incredibly fierce. Even if Xuan Yuan Rou managed to kill it, she would still be unable to extinguish the emperor fetus!
As Tan Yun shouted in terror and urgency, Shen Subing, Tuoba Yingying, and Fang Zhiqing also noticed the changes in the Tiger Roar Grand Marshal, and the three women were equally frantic!
The others were rather confused, not knowing what was happening.
Because given their experience, even if they noticed the changes in the Tiger Roar Grand Marshal’s cranial bone, they would not know that it signified the self-detonation of the emperor fetus!
At this moment, in the heavens, due to Xuan Yuan Rou's severe injuries, she had not detected the changes in the Tiger Roar Grand Marshal's cranial bone.
Even if she noticed, she would not know about the impending self-detonation because she had yet to unlock the memories of her past life buried deep in her mind.
Of course, if her memories were restored, she would naturally perceive it without needing Tan Yun’s reminder.
Undoubtedly, Xuan Yuan Rou trusted Tan Yun immensely. Upon hearing Tan Yun urge her to escape, she swooped down precariously while anxiously shouting, “Tan Yun, why are you here?”
“Quickly return!”
Before Tan Yun could speak, the Tiger Roar Grand Marshal seemed to use all his strength and roared viciously, “Xuan Yuan Rou, you can’t escape!”
“This Grand Marshal, even in death, will take you down with me!”
“And you, Tan Yun, the culprit! If it weren’t for you occupying the Abandoned City, I wouldn’t have been sent by the Deputy City Lord to deal with you!”
“Now it’s perfect; even in death, I’ll drag you down with me… Hahaha… Hahahaha!”
The Tiger Roar Grand Marshal's sinister laughter suddenly halted, and as his eyes burst and blood spewed from his ears and nose, his entire head rapidly expanded!
In the blink of an eye, his head had swollen three times its size!
“Bang!”
“Rumble!”
In the next moment, amidst the splatter of blood and bones, the Tiger Roar Grand Marshal's skull exploded!
Instantly, the heavens collapsed, and an extremely violent energy storm surged forth like a dark sphere of light, rapidly expanding and engulfing the sky.
The energy storm, laden with shattered voids, rushed towards Xuan Yuan Rou, who was diving down to escape towards Tan Yun…
“Tan Yun, when you saved me outside the Abandoned City, you almost lost your life. This time, don’t try to save me!” Xuan Yuan Rou's beautiful eyes were mixed with blood and tears as she gazed down at Tan Yun, her tone extremely resolute, “You can’t withstand the fallout; quickly escape into the City Defense Formation and don’t save me!”
