"Tan Yun, you are not human, you are utterly shameless!"
Gongsun Ruoxi supported Tan Yun, tears glistening in her eyes as she glared at Nangong Yuqin on the Spirit Vessel.
"During the grand competition of the four techniques, you and Tan Yun fought to the death. If it weren't for Tan Yun saving you back then, you would have been dead long ago!"
"Ruoxi, stop it!" Tan Yun spat out a mouthful of blood, his gaze icy as he stared at Nangong Yuqin. "I don't care who you are or what happened between us, but from the moment you stabbed me with your sword, everything is irrelevant."
"Leave now. Next time we meet, don’t expect me to hold back!"
Tan Yun's expression was terrifyingly cold!
In the past, as the primeval supreme, he had his principles.
Indeed!
He admitted that seeing Nangong Yuqin fighting for her life against him and nearly getting killed by himself pained him deeply.
But that could not justify Tan Yun's generosity!
Thinking about how he rushed to save her upon hearing she was in danger, only to be nearly ambushed and killed by her, Tan Yun's heart turned cold and numb!
Nangong Yuqin looked at Tan Yun's chilling gaze, her thoughts a mess. She opened her lips, wanting to say something, but she never spoke.
Then, she maneuvered the Spirit Vessel and vanished above the summit.
Nangong Yuqin navigated the Spirit Vessel through the rain, her right hand holding the sword against the vessel's wall to keep herself upright, while her left hand pressed against her heart, which felt like it was being stabbed with a knife. She shook her head violently, murmuring to herself:
"Why did I feel heartache the moment I stabbed him?"
"Why do I feel sad when I see his indifferent gaze towards me..."
"Didn't my master say that a life-and-death battle between us would result in both of us being seriously injured? But why did Gongsun Ruoxi just say that he saved me..."
"What is happening to me... No, I must find out the truth!"
"I need to know what happened after our life-and-death battle!"
…
Lone peak, summit.
"Rumble!"
"Bang bang bang——"
"Awo!"
"Roar!"
The towering lone peak trembled, and boulders fell from the mountain.
The wind and thunder flood dragon coiled around the mountain, its dark, thunder-attribute dragon head still biting into the neck of the golden dragon spirit lion, blood splattering from the wound on the lion's neck!
"Roar!"
The golden dragon spirit lion faced the wind and thunder flood dragon, which was several times larger than it, without retreating. Its fangs still gripped firmly as it seemed determined not to let go until it had bitten through the flood dragon's wind attribute dragon neck!
"Bang bang bang!"
The wings of the golden dragon spirit lion flapped violently in the rain, striking the body of the wind and thunder flood dragon. Long golden bone spikes, each three zhang long, pierced into the body of the flood dragon with every hit, bringing blood with them!
The golden dragon spirit lion's four claws dug into the flood dragon's body and constantly thrashed around, tearing open huge wounds on the dragon's scaly form!
"Roar..."
The wind and thunder flood dragon let out a beastly wail of pain. In an instant, its three-hundred-zhang body emanated waves of five-zhang thick thunder power towards the golden dragon spirit lion, causing dazzling currents of electricity to surge all over the lion!
Yet it still clung to the neck of the wind and thunder flood dragon!
"Roar——Crack!"
Suddenly, accompanied by a crisp resounding crack, blood gushed everywhere as the golden dragon spirit lion forcefully bit off the neck of the wind-attribute dragon head, which fell downwards!
The golden dragon spirit lion swung its lion head violently, trying to shake off the grip of the wind and thunder flood dragon on its neck!
"Awo!"
The wind and thunder flood dragon went completely mad after losing one head!
It let out a dragon roar reminiscent of a divine dragon, immediately releasing its massive body coiled around the lone peak!
Its body suddenly arched, and its four giant claws, dripping with splattered blood, pierced into the chest of the golden dragon spirit lion!
