“You killed my third junior brother, yet you dare not fight my second junior brother. Very well, I, this young lady, am issuing you a life-and-death challenge. If you are a man, then fight!”
“Of course, in my eyes, Ouyang Qian, you are not a man at all, so it’s only natural for you not to fight!”
If it were any other man, they would be furious!
Tan Yun was no exception!
“Crack, crack!”
Tan Yun's fists were tightly clenched, his bones cracking as he paused in his steps, slowly turning around in a deliberate manner.
When Tan Yun faced Ouyang Qian, his tightly clenched fists had relaxed, and his expression was eerily calm!
So calm it was chilling!
If Mu Mengyi had seen Tan Yun at this moment, she would have known that he only displayed such demeanor when he was pushed to the brink of anger!
Under the gaze of the crowd, Tan Yun lightly raised a finger, pointed at Ouyang Qian, and then directed his finger toward Gao Yang Wushuang, his voice devoid of any emotion, “I accept your challenge. Killing one is not as good as killing two; you both come at me together!”
“I, Tan Yun, will not rest until one of us is dead today!”
Tan Yun’s words were like a heavy bomb dropped into the crowd, causing their heads to buzz with shock!
After a moment of silence, the air erupted into a cacophony of stunned, shocked, excited, and confused shouts and screams:
“Did I hear that right? Senior Brother Tan means to fight both Senior Brother Gao Yang and Senior Sister Ouyang at the same time!”
“You… you didn’t hear wrong… it’s all true, all true!”
“Is Senior Brother Tan crazy? Senior Sister Ouyang is ranked 45th on the Dan Dao Battle Rankings, and Senior Brother Gao Yang is ranked 36th!”
“This is insane! Senior Brother Tan is too crazy! Even though his strength ranks 160 after killing Ye Ling, the gap between him and Senior Sister Ouyang, Senior Brother Gao Yang is too vast, especially when he’s fighting two at once!”
“Do you think… can Senior Brother Tan survive?”
“Fool, what do you think? I admit Senior Brother Tan is formidable, but the situation now is one against two, and both are top-ranked on the Crouching Dragon Rankings!”
“Senior Brother Tan is being a bit reckless and impatient…”
“…”
The noisy voices reached Liu Hongru’s ears. He trembled with anxiety and said, “Tan Yun, you are reckless… reckless! How could you agree? Isn’t this just asking for death? No, you can’t agree!”
Just as Tan Yun was about to speak, Gao Yang Wushuang looked at Liu Hongru and said firmly, “Elder Liu, Tan Yun has already accepted the challenge. Are you still trying to stop him? You are disrespecting the sect rules!”
“This…” Liu Hongru was at a loss for words.
Gao Yang Wushuang looked affectionately at Ouyang Qian, “Qian, he doesn’t deserve you to kill him. I’ll take care of him.”
“Hmm…” Before Ouyang Qian could finish her words, she was coldly interrupted by Tan Yun, “Bitch, how dare you! If you didn’t hear me clearly, let me say it again: I will accept your challenge together!”
“Without you, I won’t play along!”
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qian angrily retorted, “You despicable servant, I accept! Later, I’ll make you suffer!”
Hearing his beloved being humiliated, Gao Yang Wushuang's eyes turned bloodshot, “Tan Yun, let’s begin! I’ll tear you to pieces!”
“Wait!” Liu Hongru shouted in a deep voice, then looked at Gao Yang Wushuang and Ouyang Qian, “You are both the pillars of my Danmai’s future, and Tan Yun is also related to someone else’s life and death. Your battle is of great importance.”
“If something happens to either of you, Lu Wu’s three direct disciples will be wiped out. If Tan Yun dies, the elder of the outer sect will also die, and the elder of the outer sect is our chief! Thus, your battle to the death is something this steward cannot interfere with nor has the right to interfere with.”
“However, if anyone dies on either side, it could likely cause a conflict between Elder Twelve and the chief, so your life-and-death battle must have Lu Wu and the elder of the outer sect's brother, Shen Qingfeng, present!”
