A panicked voice called out, and with a loud bang, the hall doors exploded into pieces. Amidst the flying shards, Qian, dressed in black, emanating the aura of great emperor realm twelfth level, appeared behind Tan Yun, wielding her sword in anger.
With an anxious voice, the hall doors exploded open, sending shards flying. A figure in black, Qian, enveloped in the aura of the great emperor realm twelfth level, appeared behind Tan Yun, pointing her sword angrily at him. "Let her go!"
Tan Yun lifted Lu Bingyan with his left hand, slowly turning his head to assess the black-clothed woman before him, raising an eyebrow. "What if I say no?"
A cold killing intent flickered in Qian's eyes. "Do you know who she is? She is..."
Before Qian could finish her sentence, Tan Yun interrupted with a smile, "You don't need to tell me. Isn't she the sworn sister of the Eight Heavens Immortal Emperor?"
"Since you know, do you still dare to kill her?" Qian unleashed the power of the Thunder Emperor from her body, pointing her sword at Tan Yun. "I’ll tell you, I am at the great emperor realm twelfth level! I command you to release Lu Bingyan immediately, or I will tear you apart!"
"Alright, I'm scared now. I'll let her go." As Tan Yun spoke lightly, his right palm suddenly crushed Lu Bingyan's head, and he ruthlessly threw the headless corpse at Qian's feet.
"You... you..." Qian's face turned red with anger. "By the way, it was you, this thief, who killed the little City Lord of Eight Heavens Immortal City, wasn't it?"
"That's right, I did kill her." Tan Yun stood with his hands clasped behind his back, smiling nonchalantly.
Qian continued, "And you also killed Ke Kui, who was guarding the Hall of Time and Space for the Eight Heavens Immortal Mansion?"
"That's right, I killed him," Tan Yun confirmed.
"Our Eight Heavens Immortal Realm has always kept to ourselves, not interfering with your Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. Why did your Immortal Emperor send you down?" Qian glared at him through clenched teeth.
"Such a lot of questions." Tan Yun sneered, "You, a dying person, should know you won't be able to bring the news back."
"Here’s a chance for you: take your own life, and I'll leave your corpse intact."
Upon hearing this, Qian narrowed her eyes slightly, a chilling light flashing from them. "Arrogant!"
"Kill!"
"Thunder Meteor Sword Technique!"
Qian wielded a second-grade supreme Divine Sword, clearly proficient in assassination techniques, transforming into a ghostly figure as she charged at Tan Yun with her sword!
As her delicate wrist spun, streams of sword aura, powered by the Thunder Emperor's might, surged toward Tan Yun like a barrage of thunder!
"Not bad. Your speed is three points faster than the average great emperor realm twelfth level expert, but unfortunately, my speed is twice yours!"
As Tan Yun's voice echoed, Qian realized Tan Yun's figure had already vanished from her line of sight.
Helplessness and despair eroded every taut nerve in her body. She knew she had encountered an unbeatable master today.
Standing in mid-air, she closed her eyes and released her immortal sense, cautiously scanning her surroundings. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead, and her heartbeat intensified with each passing moment!
"No matter who you are, today I will kill you!" As Qian's voice, filled with resignation, rang out, she suddenly shot toward the Secret Treasury, attempting to escape!
"Do you think this little trick can fool me? If you can escape, then I am not Tan Yun." As Tan Yun's indifferent voice sounded, he suddenly appeared behind Qian, slamming his palm against her back.
"Poof!" Qian spat out a mouthful of blood, her sword crashing down inside the Secret Treasury.
She felt as if her organs had shifted and struggled to stand up, fear written all over her face as she looked at Tan Yun. "Why is your strength... so powerful?"
"No comment." Tan Yun disregarded her, "But if you answer me one question, I might spare your life."
"You will never get anything out of me..." Before Qian could finish, Tan Yun activated his primordial divine eye, rendering her immediately dazed.
