Chapter 18: Self-Destruction!
Tan Yun lifted the Turtle Breathing Cold Veil, his eyes filled with rage. "Old man, cut the crap! Over a year ago, you sent Duan Zhen to kill me. Unfortunately, that fool was severely injured under my Frosty South Mountain Talisman and was killed by me instead!"
"If it weren't for the treasure talisman in my hands, I would have been dead long ago!"
As he spoke, Tan Yun stood up and suddenly stomped his right foot down onto Lu Wu's right palm!
"Crack—Bang!"
Bones shattered, the ground trembled as if it were water, and Lu Wu's right hand was smashed into a bloody pulp!
"Ah... Tan Yun, you bastard!" Lu Wu let out a pig-like scream, veins bulging on his face, looking as if worms crawled all over his forehead and cheeks!
"Curse all you want, go ahead." Tan Yun smirked cruelly and continued, "Later, you sent Jiang Xia to kill me!"
"Lu Wu, ask yourself honestly, when have I, Tan Yun, ever been your enemy? The initial cause was your disciple Li Ziquan, who insulted and whipped the herb garden disciples."
"That's right, I did kill your disciple Li Zian later, but that was a fair agreement for a life-and-death battle!"
"And you, beast, have repeatedly tried to put me to death. Just thinking about it makes my teeth itch with hatred!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tan Yun kicked aside a chair and stomped down on Lu Wu's left hand!
"Ah!" Lu Wu, pinned down by the golden dragon spirit lion, let out a chilling scream.
"Tan Yun, I was wrong... Please, don't kill me!" Lu Wu was completely terrified, "You really can’t kill me. My father is the Fourth Elder of the Immortal Sect Danmai. If you kill me, you will die too!"
"Haha, I killed Pang Shiyuan too. It’s not like anyone was unaware, right?" Tan Yun sneered. "If you don't want others to know, just don't do it yourself; the Revival Jade Grass was also poisoned to death by you using Li Ziquan."
At this point, Tan Yun’s fists clenched tightly, creaking with anger as he bellowed, "Zhou Run was diligently cultivating the Revival Jade Grass in the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden, but because of you, that dog of a thing, he was innocently and cruelly killed by you, and you even hung his corpse on Azure Spirit Immortal Mountain, not allowing it to be buried peacefully!"
"Lu Wu, you truly have no humanity!"
Tan Yun recalled the images of Zhou Run when he was alive, and the more he spoke, the more agitated and furious he became. "I won’t let you die easily; that would only benefit you!"
With a flick of his hand, he wielded the Flying Sword and severed Lu Wu's legs!
As Lu Wu was heavily injured and on the brink of death, his soul severely traumatized, Tan Yun immediately activated the primordial divine eye to control Lu Wu, decisively commanding, "Self-destruct your spirit pool!"
"Yes." Lu Wu's eyes became lifeless as he self-destructed his spirit pool, spitting out three mouthfuls of blood in quick succession!
As Lu Wu's spirit pool was destroyed, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and his once-black hair began to fall out rapidly, his originally dark eyebrows also turning white at an alarming rate, making him look extremely old in just a few breaths!
Lu Wu was actually already one hundred ninety years old. The spirit pool is the foundation for a cultivator. With his spirit pool destroyed, his cultivation level was effectively wasted, causing his bodily functions to age and deteriorate rapidly.
At this moment, he really was too old, so old that he could no longer speak!
Tan Yun then sealed Lu Wu's bleeding limbs and, releasing his control of the primordial divine eye, used the primordial flame to burn away the traces of their presence in the cave dwelling, including that of himself and the golden dragon spirit lion.
After cleaning up the severed legs and bloodstains in the cave dwelling, Tan Yun stepped onto the golden dragon spirit lion and flew away from Lu Dao Immortal Mountain with Lu Wu in tow...
Two hours later, Tan Yun appeared in the mountains thirty thousand miles south of the Danmai Mountain Gate, in the night, carving out a cave in the mountain and throwing Lu Wu inside!
