Against The Sky Supreme

He was a descendant of Lord Lu, the emperor of the dao. If he were to be killed, the consequences would be unimaginable!

“Xiao Zhang, show mercy under your sword!” From the Divine Pavilion, Helian Mengde shouted.

The atmosphere was tense, and everyone was on edge, anticipating what would happen next. The battle between Tan Yun and Lu Chen was about to reach a critical point.

At that moment, Tan Yun's eyes were filled with a fierce determination. He had made up his mind to eliminate any threats to his path, and Lu Chen was one of them.

However, as he raised his sword, a voice suddenly echoed across the dojo.

“Stop!”

It was Elder De, who had been observing the situation closely.

“Tan Yun, think carefully! Lu Chen's background is not something you can easily dismiss. If you kill him, it will bring disaster to our clan!” Elder De's voice was grave, filled with concern for the potential ramifications.

Tan Yun hesitated, his grip on the sword loosening slightly.

“Elder De, I understand your concerns, but I cannot allow any threats to my future!”

The tension in the dojo was palpable as both parties contemplated the next move.

In that moment of uncertainty, the seventh princess, Qianqian, stepped forward, her eyes pleading.

“Tan Yun, please! We can find another way to resolve this without bloodshed. Violence is not the answer!”

She was desperate to avoid a confrontation that could lead to disaster for everyone involved.

Tan Yun glanced at Qianqian, and for a fleeting moment, he considered her words.

But his ambition burned fiercely within him.

“I appreciate your intentions, Qianqian, but my decision is final,” he replied, clenching his jaw.

As the standoff continued, the gods watching held their breath, waiting for the outcome of this pivotal moment.

Would Tan Yun proceed with his attack, or would reason prevail? The fate of many hinged on the choices made in this very instance.

“Xiao Zhang, show mercy!” On the Divine Pavilion, Helian Mengde trembled and hurried to stop him.

Tan Yun paused the Divine Sword in his hand, turned back to gaze at Helian Mengde, and as he spoke, blood trickled from his mouth, “Why should I show mercy?”

“Xiao Zhang, listen to this great offering.” Helian Mengde did not shy away and said, “Lu Chen's great ancestor is the Lord Lu Jun. If you kill him, the Lord Lu Jun…”

Before Helian Mengde could finish, Tan Yun's weak voice interrupted, “So what? Just because of his noble status, he can kill juniors at will, while juniors cannot kill him?”

“Great offering, I do not mean to offend. No matter who he is, since he participated in the challenge for marriage, he must follow the rules of the challenge.”

“So, it is perfectly reasonable for me to kill him now. Is it that just because he is a descendant of the Lord Lu Jun, I cannot kill him and must disregard the rules?”

Tan Yun's words were unassailable, and although Helian Mengde felt that Tan Yun was being ungrateful, he could not find a reason to refute him.

For a moment, this ancient monster who had lived for countless years was left speechless.

The Western Continent Emperor furrowed his brows, about to speak when he suddenly remembered something and relayed a message to Yu Yunxi and Dao Qing Grandmaster: “It’s not appropriate for me to plead for mercy. Xiao Zhang is close to you two; he should listen to what you say.”

“Regardless, Lu Chen cannot die here; otherwise, how will we explain it to the Lord Lu Jun?”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxi and Dao Qing Grandmaster nodded.

“Zhang'er, spare his life.” Dao Qing Grandmaster spoke.

“Right, right, right! What Dao Qing Grandmaster says is correct.” Lu Chen, shaken and uneasy, seemed to have found a lifeline and hurriedly agreed, “Xiao Zhang, please spare me! What I said before about killing you was just a moment of impulse!”

“You are magnanimous and shouldn’t hold grudges against me…”

Before Lu Chen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Tan Yun, whose face was twisted with rage, “What's right about that? Let me tell you, there are indeed many things I fear in this world, but I will never fear threats, nor will I fear my enemies, no matter how powerful they are!”
