Under the public reprimand of Bai Cheng Divine King, although Bai Zhi was burning with anger, he did not dare to show it. He could only bow and say, “Father, you are right. It is my fault.”
Afterwards, Bai Zhi slowly sat down in his seat, tears welling up in his eyes as he looked down at Bai Wen in the pool of blood on the high platform. He transmitted a message, saying, “Wen'er, it’s your adoptive father’s fault. I wanted to save you, but I truly have the heart but lack the strength!”
At that moment, in the crowd of spectators, Bai Zhi’s biological daughter, Bo Ya, cried out to Bai Wen, “Sister, don’t blame Father. He has already done his best.”
“Rest assured, sister. I and Father will surely avenge you! I swear, I will make Jing Yun suffer a thousand cuts and shatter his body into pieces!”
Upon hearing this, Bai Wen, lying in the pool of blood, glanced at Tan Yun and despairingly closed her eyes.
Just as Tan Yun was only ten zhang away from Bai Wen, she suddenly opened her eyes. With a wave of her left hand, numerous jet-black divine needles coated with deadly poison shot out violently into the void, aiming straight at Tan Yun!
“Jing Yun, be careful of the poison!” General Baifeng hurriedly reminded. At that moment, Tan Yun utilized the primordial divine step, suddenly carving out a massive arc from the platform, completely dodging the incoming poisoned needles, and appearing beside Bai Wen!
“You poisonous and insidious woman, die!” Tan Yun shouted angrily, swinging his right hand as the jet-black divine sword flew from his grasp, piercing through Bai Wen’s delicate head with a spray of blood!
Bai Wen's soul was shattered, and she died on the spot!
Looking at Bai Wen’s corpse in the pool of blood, the entire arena fell into an eerie silence!
After a long period of silence, no one spoke. The divine soldiers were afraid to utter a word, worried that they would incur Bai Zhi’s resentment for making a sound!
However, someone eventually took the lead!
Bai Xu jumped high from his observation point and shouted, “My good brother Jing Yun has created a miracle just like Xiao Shihan a hundred years ago!”
“This is not only his personal honor but also the glory of all of us in the Baijia Army. I have heard that among the hundreds of billions of divine soldiers under the other divine kings, not a single one has yet achieved a one to four-star soldier!”
“And my grandfather’s divine soldiers have already produced two!”
Bai Xu excitedly shouted, “Where are the cheers and applause!”
As his words fell, the previously silent crowd erupted into a tsunami of cheers!
At this moment, the cheers were so ear-piercing to General Bai Zhi!
On the Five-Story Divine Pavilion, Commander Fang Sheng looked down at Tan Yun with an unprecedentedly kind gaze.
His aged voice carried a wealth of appreciation for Tan Yun: “Now, I announce that Jing Yun has successfully challenged the four-star divine soldier!”
“Jing Yun is the king of soldiers among all one to four-star divine soldiers in our Baijia Army!”
“Hahaha, as Commander Fang Sheng, the superior of General Baifeng, I am thrilled to have such a divine soldier as Jing Yun!”
After laughing, Commander Fang Sheng curiously asked, “Jing Yun, you are like a mystery to me. I am very curious, will you challenge the five-star divine soldier tomorrow?”
Tan Yun could feel the affection in Commander Fang Sheng’s words, and he smiled, saying, “If possible, will the commander reward me again?”
“Uh…” Commander Fang Sheng was first taken aback, then laughed, “As long as you can become a five-star divine soldier again, that would be unprecedented in our Baijia Army.”
“At that time, besides the rewards from the divine king great commander, I will also reward you!”
Upon hearing this, an expectant look appeared on Tan Yun's handsome face as he respectfully put away his smile and said, “I, as a junior, do not seek glory, but I will definitely try to challenge the five-star divine soldier tomorrow even for your reward.”
