When these words were spoken, the entire scene was shocked:
“What? Xiao Zhang still won’t admit defeat at this point?”
“Exactly! Even the Dao Qing Grandmaster wants to help him save his life, yet he foolishly refuses!”
“Isn’t that right? I think he’s gone mad wanting to marry the seventh princess!”
“Indeed!”
“Isn't that so? I think he must be madly in love with the seventh princess!”
“That’s right, while Lu Chen can still stand and walk slowly with his sword, what about him? He is clearly severely injured, moving even a bit is probably a luxury, yet he still wants to compare himself. I think he’s courting death!”
“…”
Just as most people were disparaging Tan Yun, Yu Yunxi looked at Tan Yun's miserable state, her heart bleeding. She did not know when, but her delicate hand was already tightly clenched, her nails digging into her palm, and faint traces of blood were visible.
“Zhang Er, don’t be foolish, your life is important!” Dao Qing Grandmaster scolded anxiously.
He was also thinking of Tan Yun, not wanting him to give his life in vain!
“Don’t be angry, senior, I’m not being foolish; I must win the championship!”
“Anyone who tries to stop me, no one… can!”
After Tan Yun finished speaking, the next scene that unfolded around him moved everyone present.
“Withdraw.”
With just a thought, the War Heavenly Ancestor Armor he wore disappeared.
As the War Heavenly Ancestor Armor vanished, what entered everyone’s sight was Tan Yun’s extremely terrifying body!
At this moment, nearly seventy percent of Tan Yun’s flesh and blood had fallen away, revealing numerous white bones.
What was even more heartbreaking was that through the wounds on Tan Yun’s chest, it was clear that his internal organs were covered in cracks!
Everyone found it hard to believe that Tan Yun was this badly injured, yet he could still remain conscious. If it were anyone else, they would have definitely fainted from the pain!
Everyone could not understand what obsession was keeping Tan Yun awake!
“Puff!”
While everyone was pondering, Tan Yun spat out a mouthful of blood and surprisingly attempted to struggle to stand up before the public gaze.
“Has Xiao Zhang gone mad?”
“Yeah! I think he’s lost it!”
“Why is he doing this?”
“Could it be for the beauty of the seventh princess…”
While everyone whispered among themselves, they were unaware that Tan Yun did this not for the beauty of the seventh princess, nor to become the favored son-in-law of the western continent emperor!
The purpose of Tan Yun’s actions was singular, and that was for a promise!
At this moment, Yu Yunxi looked at Tan Yun, tears blurring her vision as she sent a voice transmission with a crying tone, “Tan Yun, boo hoo… don’t hold on anymore… really, just let it go.”
“Don’t worry, even if Lu Chen or Qi Kong wins the championship, I won’t marry…”
Before Yu Yunxi could finish her words, Tan Yun slightly shook his head and sent a voice transmission, “Yunxi, as long as I am here, if you don’t wish to, no man can lay a finger on you. This is the promise I made to you.”
Hearing Tan Yun’s weak voice, Yu Yunxi's tears of sorrow were swallowed by those of happiness and moved emotions.
“Tan Yun, thank you so much, but…” Before Yu Yunxi could finish, Tan Yun’s voice echoed in her mind, “There is no ‘but’. I will never back down!”
As Tan Yun sent the transmission, Lu Chen, wielding the Divine Sword, had already arrived ten feet in front of him, trembling.
“Xiao Zhang, after so long, you still can’t stand? Looks like I need to help you.”
As soon as Lu Chen’s words fell, he used all his strength to shout and kicked Tan Yun’s chest, crossing a distance of ten feet.
“Bang!”
“Puff!”
With a heavy thud, Tan Yun spat out blood, kicked dozens of feet away, and crashed heavily to the ground.
“Tan Yun!” Yu Yunxi stood up from her seat, her voice filled with endless sorrow as she sent a transmission, “Don’t hold on anymore, I beg you!”
