Tan Yun was burning with anxiety as he maneuvered the Spirit Vessel for five hundred miles. Lin Xinyi, choking back her tears, pointed to a distant Immortal Mountain over a hundred miles away and said, "Tan Yun, Mu Mengyi was captured on that summit."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun commanded the Spirit Vessel, darting through the sky like a streak of black lightning, hovering above the lush summit.
Behind her, Tan Yun's gaze was resolute as he shouted, his voice resonating for hundreds of miles, "I am Tan Yun! I killed Murong Kun, and I know that eight days ago, you lingered at my Danmai Mountain Gate, waiting for me to leave so you could ambush me!"
“I have arrived now. As long as you hand over Mu Mengyi, I will go with you!”
In Tan Yun's anxious tone lay a deep affection for Mu Mengyi.
Hearing this, Lin Xinyi's eyes registered a flash of surprise before returning to normal.
"What should we do, Tan Yun? It seems Junior Sister Mu has already been taken away!" Lin Xinyi turned her back to Tan Yun, speaking with an uneasy tone as her right hand positioned over her chest, subtly beckoning towards the grass on the summit.
Instantly, the grass area trembled slightly, and soon, a sinister laugh resonated from the empty void above Tan Yun's head, "Tan Yun, and you too, Lin Xinyi, both of you go to hell!”
Before the words had fully escaped, the burly Fan Jian appeared out of thin air, swinging his right fist towards Tan Yun's head with lightning speed while his left hand sent a Flying Sword whistling towards Lin Xinyi’s forehead!
Although he seemed to target Lin Xinyi, his real intention was to confuse Tan Yun.
“Xinyi, be careful!” Tan Yun warned as he hastily thrust his fist to meet the incoming blow!
“Bang!”
When their fists collided, a vortex of spiritual power erupted like a cosmic explosion, creating strong shockwaves that shook the area within hundreds of feet, shattering trees and turning endless grass into swirling debris!
Fan Jian was not only at the great perfection of the fetal soul realm but also a strong competitor on the Crouching Dragon Rankings. His full-power sneak attack on Tan Yun, augmented by tenfold beast fetal soul strength, was immensely powerful!
“Pfft!”
Tan Yun's right fist was smashed apart, and a mighty force surged through his right arm into his internal organs. He was knocked into the air, spitting out bright red blood!
“Fan Jian, you beast! Where have you hidden Junior Sister Mu?” Lin Xinyi said angrily, twisting her wrist, sending forth a sword aura to deflect the Flying Sword aimed at her, then darting towards Tan Yun, catching him to land safely on the Spirit Vessel.
“Tan Yun, are you hurt badly?” Lin Xinyi looked at him with concern.
“Thank you for your care, Senior Sister Lin. I’m fine.” Tan Yun stepped away from Lin Xinyi and urged, “You go first. I’ll take care of him!”
“Hahaha! Today, neither of you will escape!” Fan Jian laughed menacingly, exuding a formidable aura. In an instant, he disappeared and reappeared in front of Tan Yun, thrusting a long sword that appeared in his hand, aiming it at Tan Yun’s chest!
“Tan Yun, watch out! I’ll help you deal with him!” Lin Xinyi called out from behind Tan Yun, swinging a sharp sword aura toward Fan Jian!
“Tan Yun, die!” As she zipped past him, she suddenly retracted her sword aura, thrusting her sword into the defenseless Tan Yun's back!
“Pfft!”
The sharp supreme spirit artifact long sword pierced Tan Yun's back, splattering blood!
“Ah!” Tan Yun roared, desperately dodging and narrowly avoiding a fatal blow to his heart, but the sword tip grazed his heart, blood spilling from his chest!
“Bang!”
Lin Xinyi’s delicate palm, infused with a spiritual power light sphere, slammed into Tan Yun's back!
“Pfft!”
As Tan Yun coughed up blood and fell forward, he felt a wave of dizziness, and then, cold pain shot through his chest as Fan Jian seized the opportunity, piercing through with his sword!
“Buzz!”
“Kid, let’s see if you die!” Fan Jian twisted the sword lodged in Tan Yun’s chest, and with a sweep of his left hand, a supreme spirit artifact black hammer came crashing down towards Tan Yun’s chest!
