Tan Yun looked at the gold-armored guard with disdain, a cold glint flickering in his eyes.
“Do you think you can intimidate me with that weak attack?” he retorted, his voice laced with sarcasm.
The gold-armored guard's face turned crimson with rage. He charged towards Tan Yun, eager to exact revenge.
“Prepare to face my wrath!” he shouted, gathering his energy for a powerful strike.
Tan Yun remained calm, his posture relaxed as he awaited the guard's approach.
With a swift movement, the guard unleashed a sky-shattering divine fist towards Tan Yun, but he effortlessly sidestepped the attack.
“Is that all you've got?” Tan Yun taunted, his confidence unwavering.
The guard's frustration escalated as he struggled to land a hit.
“Enough games!” he bellowed, activating his ancestral sage power to increase his strength.
In response, Tan Yun summoned the primordial ice flame, surrounding himself with an aura of chilling energy.
“Let’s see how you handle this!” Tan Yun declared, launching a counterattack.
The clash of their powers echoed across the training ground, illuminating the area with a dazzling light.
As the dust settled, Tan Yun stood unscathed while the gold-armored guard knelt on the ground, visibly shaken.
“You... you’re not human!” the guard gasped, disbelief etched on his face.
Tan Yun smirked, “I’m far more than you can imagine. Remember this moment; it’s your last chance to learn humility.”
With that, he turned away, leaving the guard to contemplate his defeat.
Tan Yun smiled, looking at the gold-armored guard as if he were an idiot.
“What the hell are you laughing at…” The gold-armored guard's words were interrupted by Yu Shan, “Enough, shut up. Don’t waste time; you can start your spar with Xiao Zhang now.”
“Buzz!” Yu Shan waved his right arm, and the Ancestral Ring soared into the air, hovering before Tan Yun. “Take a look.”
“No need.” Tan Yun laughed, “I believe that the quantity won’t be wrong.”
“In that case, let’s begin.” After Yu Shan took the Ancestral Ring into his hand and finished speaking, the gold-armored guard opened his mouth and let out a beast-like roar, “You trash, I’m going to beat you to death!”
Immediately, a surge of ancient ancestral sage power erupted from the gold-armored guard, rapidly gathering in his right fist.
“Sky Shattering Divine Fist!”
The gold-armored guard roared and charged towards Tan Yun, his body shattering the void, exuding extreme terrifying momentum.
“Boom!” As the gold-armored guard swung his fist towards Tan Yun, the surrounding space collapsed with a loud roar.
The gold-armored guard was extremely confident that even a strong cultivator at the seventh layer of the ancestral sage realm would find it hard to survive this full-force strike, enough to obliterate Tan Yun completely!
At that moment, feeling the overwhelming force of the punch from the gold-armored guard, Tan Yun’s expression changed dramatically.
Tan Yun realized that even with his primordial divine step, he could not dodge it, nor could he contend against that punch.
“Tan Yun, be careful!” Yu Yunxi sent a worried thought.
In this critical moment, a fierce light flashed in Tan Yun’s eyes. He suddenly thrust his right palm forward, shouting in his heart, “Purple Heart, burn him to ashes!”
“Wuwu—”
In an instant, a scorching heat wave spread from Tan Yun’s right palm. The primordial flame, now at the minor achievement of the daoist level, erupted from his palm and surged to four hundred thousand feet, enveloping the gold-armored guard!
“Ah!!”
“No…”
The gold-armored guard, trapped in the primordial flame, released a heart-wrenching wail. The armor on his body turned to nothingness in an instant, and his skin began to melt rapidly!
If it weren't for the ancient ancestral sage power protecting the gold-armored guard, he would have already turned to nothingness.
The horrifyingly injured gold-armored guard, with a vast amount of ancient ancestral sage power surging within him, barely escaped from the primordial flame, but his body was almost reduced to a skeleton.
