Tan Yun's gaze was dark, as if he were ignoring everything around him!
He gripped Bai Xu's neck with his left hand, while the broken sword in his right hand pierced Bai Xu's lip, causing droplets of deep red blood to fall from the wound.
Tan Yun's expression became increasingly cold, "When you insulted Mengyi just now, I told you that you would understand the consequences of your words."
A devilish smile appeared on Tan Yun's face, "Once words are spoken, they are like water spilled; it's hard to take them back!"
"Tan Yun!" Bai Xu turned red with anger, "Are you really so ruthless? I only insulted her once, and you treat me so inhumanely!"
Tan Yun sneered, "Is that so? Think carefully about what you have said to me before!"
"You said if I got close to Mengyi, I would disappear forever!"
"When I first entered the Inner Sect, you threatened and humiliated me, harboring thoughts of killing me! I've been busy lately and haven't had the chance to settle the score with you, but you've come to me today, hehe, very good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tan Yun fiercely thrust the broken sword into Bai Xu's mouth, twisting his wrist to crush his teeth and tongue!
"Ugh—" Bai Xu cried out in pain, tears and snot flowing into his mouth!
Tan Yun pulled the broken sword out of Bai Xu's mouth and casually tossed it on the ground, coldly stating, "Today, I destroy your tongue because you insulted my woman."
"But we still need to settle the score for the threats you made against me!" Tan Yun grabbed Bai Xu's neck with his left hand, raising his right palm high, a mass of spiritual power gathering in his palm. He then pressed his palm against Bai Xu's forehead!
"Ugh ugh—" Bai Xu's eyes bulged as he shouted desperately. He knew Tan Yun was about to ruin his spirit pool!
"Don’t worry, killing you would dirty my hands; I won't kill you." Tan Yun leaned down to whisper in his ear like a spell, "I have many ways to kill you without anyone noticing, but I won't do that."
"Mengyi is my woman; you had lustful thoughts about her from the beginning and even harbored murderous intent against me. Now you will suffer slowly until you die of old age!"
"Of course, just a short distance away is a cliff. If I don't cripple your legs, it's just giving you a second choice—to jump off the cliff and end your life, to spare yourself the pain!"
With that, Tan Yun pressed his right hand on Bai Xu's forehead, and immediately, the spiritual power surged into Bai Xu's spirit pool!
"Ugh ugh ugh..." After struggling for a moment, Bai Xu’s spirit pool was destroyed, turning him into a powerless wreck.
"Choose whether to die in torment or end your life yourself." Tan Yun released Bai Xu's neck, "Get lost!"
As Bai Xu's spirit pool was shattered, his face, which had previously seemed to be in his twenties, became that of a man in his forties.
He glared viciously at Tan Yun, his eyes filled with a curse!
Unable to speak, he conveyed with his eyes that he wished for Tan Yun to have a bad death!
Bai Xu turned away, staggering to the edge of the cliff. The halo of a once-talented genius had vanished, and he could not bear such a blow!
Until he reached the cliff's edge, he took a step off!
Perhaps he died a coward's death, or perhaps he chose the second path for the sake of his last shred of dignity...
"Brother-in-law is really impressive!" Xue Ziyan came to Tan Yun with a look of satisfaction, "He deserved to die! You might not know, but when Senior Sister Mu was in the Beast Spirit Lineage, he repeatedly tried to take advantage of her."
Hearing this, Tan Yun turned to Mu Mengyi, "Why didn't you say this earlier? Otherwise, I would never have let this garbage die so easily!"
"Alright, don't be angry." Mu Mengyi stepped forward to straighten Tan Yun's disheveled robes, softly saying, "I didn't know how strong you have become. I didn't tell you because I was worried you would get hurt seeking revenge."
Tan Yun gently hugged Mu Mengyi, saying seriously, "Remember, if any man dares to have ill intentions towards you in the future, you must tell me."
