Against The Sky Supreme

Chapter Sixteen: Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range

Facing Wang Tianyou's pleas, Tan Yun remained indifferent. He withdrew his blood-stained left hand from Wang Fuchen's chest, causing Wang Fuchen to slump helplessly into the pool of blood.

Tan Yun coldly stared at the corpse on the ground, recalling how he had nearly been torn to shreds moments before. He pronounced each word deliberately, "Did you not enjoy dismemberment? Then allow me to fulfill your wish!"

Tan Yun gripped the hilt of the broad sword that had pierced his chest and gradually pulled it out inch by inch. Throughout the entire process, he did not furrow his brow, as if the body he was extracting the sword from did not belong to him.

"No!" Wang Tianyou's anguished gaze watched as Tan Yun raised the sword in his right hand, unleashing a burst of sword aura that shattered Wang Fuchen's corpse.

"The Young Master Wang is dead..."

"The Young Master Wang has actually died!"

"......"

Millions of city residents watched in horror as they beheld Wang Fuchen’s tragic body on the Creation Platform, unable to suppress their screams!

Had they not witnessed it with their own eyes, they would find it hard to believe that the pride of Falling Star City could be killed by a nameless boy!

"Fuchen... my son!" Wang Tianyou staggered to the dismembered corpse, crying out in despair.

He wished he could kill Tan Yun immediately, but reason told him he could not do so! If he killed Tan Yun, he would undoubtedly provoke the messenger!

Trembling, Wang Tianyou knelt by the platform, tears streaming down his muddled eyes as he silently vowed, "Rest easy, my son. I will immediately send someone to the Huangfu Sacred Sect to inform your cousin of your death, and let him avenge you!"

"Clang!"

After throwing down the broad sword, Tan Yun stood precariously on the platform, forcing himself not to collapse!

He looked incredibly tragic, with his body lacerated and drenched in blood. His forehead exposed a grim skull, and notably, one of his ribs had been broken, with his chest pierced by the broad sword!

Pain numbed every nerve in his body, but in his blood-red eyes, there was no trace of suffering—only the joy of surviving a catastrophe!

Mu Mengyi watched Tan Yun and slowly rose from her seat, a complex expression flashing in her beautiful eyes as she murmured to herself, "He feigned weakness before Wang Fuchen, then dealt him a fatal blow!"

"I misjudged him. He is not only not reckless and ignorant, but also a determined and decisive person."

At that moment, Mu Mengyi understood that Tan Yun’s ability to kill Wang Fuchen barehanded was due to his extraordinarily formidable strength that allowed him to challenge those above his level!

Just as she thought, Tan Yun was confident that if he was at his peak strength, he could defeat Wang Fuchen within ten moves using Primordial Divine Step and Primordial Ice Flame!

Mu Mengyi gazed approvingly at Tan Yun and softly asked, "What is your name?"

"Reporting to Senior Messenger, I am Tan Yun," he replied weakly.

Mu Mengyi slightly nodded, then opened her pearly lips, her melodious voice resonating in the ears of millions, "I hereby announce, the first in this selection is Tan Yun, and from now on, he is a disciple of the Huangfu Sacred Sect."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Mengyi fixed her gaze on the grief-stricken Wang Tianyou and meaningfully stated, "Wang City Lord, according to the selection rules, any family member participating in the selection must accept their fate regarding life and death. You are not allowed to seek revenge privately, nor disturb Tan Yun's family. Anyone who violates this order will be killed without mercy. Do you understand?"

"Reporting to the esteemed messenger, I understand," Wang Tianyou replied, his head bowed, a hint of malice flashing in his murky eyes.

Mu Mengyi gracefully approached Tan Yun. "You are severely injured. Where is your hometown? I will send you back to recuperate for a few days before we head to the Sacred Sect."

"Thank you for your kind offer, but I am fine," Tan Yun replied weakly. "Once I notify my family about my entrance to the Sacred Sect, we can set off."
