“I command my own fate, not the heavens! And you cannot decide my life or death!”
“Primordial Ice Flame!”
Tan Yun gripped the Square Heaven Painting Halberd that was embedded in his collarbone with his right hand, and with a roar, he thrust his left palm upwards!
Instantly, a towering nine-zhang tall light blue flame erupted from Tan Yun's left palm, engulfing Hou Ye, who was holding the Square Heaven Painting Halberd above him. In an instant, Hou Ye was enveloped by an ice cone nine zhang high!
“Roar!”
Injured and heavily wounded, Tan Yun bore the intense pain and suddenly crouched down, pulling out the Square Heaven Painting Halberd that pierced through his left collarbone into his chest. Allowing blood to spray from his chest, he leapt up three zhang, wielding the Divine Sword of Golden Mercy and slashed at the ice cone!
“You think you can kill me that easily? I'll smash you!” A brutal and fierce voice came from within the ice cone. In the next instant, as the ice cone exploded, Hou Ye's entire body turned to cold ice and shattered with a crash!
At this moment, the bloodless Hou Ye, now free but drenched in blood, hurriedly dodged Tan Yun's incoming sword strike despite the immense pain!
“Puchi!”
Unfortunately, he was a moment too slow, and after Tan Yun severed his left arm, the sharp Divine Sword of Golden Mercy followed through, slicing through two of Hou Ye's left ribs and nicking the edge of his heart!
“Ah... I will kill you!” Losing his left arm and heavily wounded, Hou Ye twisted his body and, with his skeletal fingers, wielded the Square Heaven Painting Halberd, slashing at the unprepared Tan Yun!
“Puchi!”
The sharp tip of the halberd drew a line of blood across Tan Yun's neck, and if it had gone an inch deeper, Tan Yun would have been dead from a severed throat!
“Puchi!”
After narrowly dodging, Tan Yun's eyes turned red as he lunged upward, countering with a sword that sliced off two of Hou Ye's fingers gripping the Square Heaven Painting Halberd!
“Come out!”
Tan Yun's left hand shot out, gripping the two broken ribs along Hou Ye's left chest and tearing them out of his body!
“No...”
Hou Ye let out a heart-wrenching wail, resembling a deflated ball. His right hand, missing two fingers, gripped the Square Heaven Painting Halberd and stabbed into Tan Yun's chest, saying, “If we die, we die together!”
“Puh-puh-puh!”
Tan Yun spat out three mouthfuls of blood, his chest gushing blood. His next frantic move shocked Hou Ye!
He felt despair!
At this moment, heavily wounded and weak, Tan Yun fought through the dizziness in his head. He bit through the tip of his tongue, regaining his clarity. He knew this was the best time to kill Hou Ye!
At this moment, Tan Yun still refrained from summoning the heavenly slayer demon ape. His hatred fully ignited the bloodiness of his manhood, and he had to personally avenge Song Hong, Dreamtalk, and Ziyan!
“Puchi!”
Tan Yun suddenly lunged forward, allowing the Square Heaven Painting Halberd to pierce through his chest, emerging bloodily from his back. Immediately after, holding the sword with his right hand, he plunged it into Hou Ye’s heart!
“Puh—”
Hou Ye spat a mouthful of blood on Tan Yun's face, incredulously gazing into Tan Yun's eyes, which were gradually fading. He trembled and said, “You crazy man, reckless madman... If I had known you would be so reckless... I wouldn’t have lost to you...”
The weak Tan Yun drew a smile at the corner of his mouth, “No matter what, the one dying is you, not me!”
“Tan Yun, you bastard...” Before Hou Ye could finish his words, Tan Yun thrust his sword into Hou Ye's mouth, piercing out from the back of his neck!
Tan Yun staggeringly withdrew the long sword, and Hou Ye fell limply into the pool of blood!
“Hiss!”
Tan Yun gasped in pain, abruptly pulling out the Square Heaven Painting Halberd that pierced through his chest and storing it in the Qiankun Ring!
Immediately, Tan Yun dispelled the heart of primordial chaos god-slaying sword formation. The moment he appeared before everyone, Tang Xinying, Shen Subing, Lu Yi, and all the elders of the Immortal Sect Danmai, along with over four hundred stewards and more than ten thousand disciples present, fell into a brief stupor!
