“Ha ha ha ha, ah ha ha ha!” Jiang Xu laughed maniacally, “I finally caught you!”
“Aren’t you good at escaping? Ha ha ha! Go to hell!”
Seeing this scene, Xuan Yuan Rou cried inconsolably, crouching down on the ground.
Bai Cheng Divine King and Mu Feng Divine King were anxious, their murky eyes filled with urgency.
Bai Cheng Divine King and Mu Feng Divine King had tears welling up in their murky eyes, filled with desperation!
At this moment, when everyone believed that Tan Yun was doomed, a shocking reversal occurred!
Suddenly, a cold male voice echoed in everyone’s ears, “Don’t be too happy too soon. If I hadn’t deliberately left an opening, how could you have had a chance?”
“If you hadn’t left an opening, how could I kill you!”
Xuan Yuan Rou stopped crying and suddenly stood up, looking up with the crowd. They saw Tan Yun, who had been pierced through the chest by Jiang Xu’s Divine Spear, suddenly smiling with a pale face!
It was a smile that grasped the entire situation!
“Roar!”
Immediately, Tan Yun let out a beast-like roar, diving down swiftly from the raised Divine Spear, allowing the spear to pass through his body. In an instant, he appeared above Jiang Xu's head, and his right fist struck downwards towards the still dazed Jiang Xu’s chest!
“Ah... no!”
“Bang!”
“Crack!”
As Jiang Xu’s horrific wail and the sound of bones breaking echoed out, his ribs shattered, his chest caved in, and his organs sustained unprecedented severe injuries, spewing blood as he fell heavily onto the Divine Altar!
“Ah!”
The weak and wailing Jiang Xu attempted to struggle to his feet, but he was truly too injured to stand!
This stunning reversal shocked everyone present!
In the eyes of the crowd, Tan Yun, who was swaying in mid-air, put the Divine Sword in his Divine Ring and then grasped the spear that had pierced through his chest, pulling it out inch by inch, blood dripping everywhere!
What was hard to believe for Li Shiyin was that even facing the pain of the spear being pulled out, Tan Yun’s pale face showed no sign of wavering!
It was as if that injured body didn’t belong to him at all.
Moreover, Li Shiyin noticed that as Tan Yun pulled out the spear, his gaze was solely on Xuan Yuan Rou below the stage.
Tan Yun looked down at Xuan Yuan Rou with an apologetic smile, and with every word he spoke, blood filled his mouth, “I’m sorry, Rou'er, for making you worry.”
“I’m fine.” Xuan Yuan Rou smiled through her tears, “You’re seriously injured, don’t talk, hurry and kill him to heal!”
“Mm.” Tan Yun nodded, giving Bai Cheng Divine King and Mu Feng Divine King a reassuring smile before he suddenly pulled out the bloodied Divine Spear, looking down at the terrified and desperate Jiang Xu, and spoke slowly, “I’m sorry, but death is your only destiny!”
As soon as Tan Yun’s words fell, he hurled the Divine Spear downwards with great force, and the sharp tip, stained with blood, pierced through Jiang Xu's skull!
His soul was immediately shattered and he died!
“Xu'er...” Jiang Long, seated in the audience, wept bitterly, slumping against his jade chair.
“Whoosh!”
Tan Yun flew down from mid-air, quickly sitting cross-legged to concentrate and recover from his injuries.
The reason he didn’t summon the Nine Stars Divine Tower was due to the restrictions during the gamble.
Li Shiyin’s beautiful eyes were fixed on Tan Yun as she murmured softly, “He’s so strong. Even with countless injuries, he can still face things with a smile, showing no signs of pain, as if this body isn’t even his.”
Her voice was very soft, only audible to her parents and brothers beside her.
Celestial Master Lingxia observed her daughter’s changing expressions and transmitted, “Shiyin, Mother feels that Jing Yun is resilient and decisive in battle, which aligns with the first of your three criteria for choosing a partner: the ability to endure what others cannot.”
“Especially his calmness under pressure, he has a strong sense of independence. Even when the two Divine Kings suggested he use the self-immolation celestial god soul, he refused.”
