As Tan Yun held the sword, piercing through Qi Kong's abdomen, Qi Kong released the hilt of the Divine Sword that had penetrated Tan Yun's neck. With a swift motion, his right hand transformed into a fist and suddenly struck Tan Yun.
Tan Yun trembled all over, spitting blood as he was sent flying through the air. In that instant, Qi Kong gestured, and the Qiqi Ancestral Divine Sword that had pierced through Tan Yun's neck flew out and into his hand.
“Vroom—”
The void rippled like water, and another mouthful of blood surged out from Tan Yun's mouth, but he halted his body in mid-air.
Tan Yun's face turned pale, staring at Qi Kong from a distance. The cold light in his starry eyes resembled a fierce beast that was fixated on Qi Kong.
Despite enduring the pain of losing his left arm, Qi Kong held the sword in his right hand, pointing it at Tan Yun. His eyes showed disbelief, and his voice trembled slightly, “Xiao Zhang, according to ancient records, you just used Time Reversal and Spatial Prison!”
“I understand now, you... you are the remnants of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race that the Eastern Continent Emperor, Southern Emperor, and Northern Sovereign Emperor want to capture!”
“No wonder, the three emperors have sent powerful experts into the Western Continent Divine Domain for many years without finding the remnants of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race; it turns out it was you!”
“Xiao Zhang, your schemes are truly deep!”
After hearing this, Tan Yun narrowed his eyes and stared at Qi Kong, speaking each word deliberately, “You know too much.”
“Haha, ahahaha!” Qi Kong suddenly laughed, “Xiao Zhang, as long as I reveal your identity, I won't even need to kill you; you'll be executed by the emperor.”
“You must know that the three emperors previously sent envoys to tell us that if we conceal any remnants of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race, we would bear the consequences.”
“So, no matter how high your talent or how heaven-defying your qualifications, you're doomed this time!”
Having said that, Qi Kong looked back at the vast Primordial Void and shouted with all his strength, “Report to the Emperor, Xiao Zhang is a remnant of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race!”
“Father, Xiao Zhang is the despicable remnant of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race!”
Tan Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Qi Kong with a half-smile, saying coolly, “In my sword formation, even if you shout your throat hoarse, no one will hear you.”
“Qi Kong, today is your day of death!”
Upon hearing this, Qi Kong suddenly turned back, holding the divine sword, staring at Tan Yun as if facing a great enemy, and shouted, “Xiao Zhang, do you really think I fear you?”
“If it weren't for just now, I wouldn't have known you were a remnant of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race; otherwise, how could you have harmed me!”
“Let me tell you, today I will kill you and report your identity as a remnant of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race to the emperor to claim credit!”
After finishing his words, Qi Kong flipped his right hand, producing a drop of green liquid, the Ancestral Power Elixir that he had obtained previously.
Qi Kong took out the Ancestral Power Elixir because he felt fear upon realizing that Tan Yun was a remnant of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race.
Additionally, having lost his left arm, he believed he had to consume this divine liquid to restore his ancestral power in the spirit pool to peak condition, thus increasing his chances of killing Tan Yun!
After swallowing the Ancestral Power Elixir, Qi Kong immediately felt his fatigue vanish, and the ancestral power he had consumed was fully restored.
“Hehe, you think that because you have the Ancestral Power Elixir to restore your strength, I won't be able to deal with you?” Tan Yun sneered, saying casually, “Source of Light.”
“Vroom—”
Immediately, a milky-white Source of Light appeared above Tan Yun's head. After the Source of Light shattered, a burst of extremely rich life essence in the form of a milky-white light barrier enveloped Tan Yun.
