"Clang!"
Tan Yun held his sword with both hands, pressing it against the ground. Even as the fierce winds of the Immortal Valley howled and despite his severely injured state, he remained standing tall!
"Success! Brother Tan, you have successfully avenged!" Luo Fan's eyes brimmed with tears of excitement.
Behind him stood over three thousand eight hundred people.
"Senior Brother Tan is mighty!"
"Junior Brother Tan is impressive!"
"Junior Brother Tan, you have shocked us too much..."
At this moment, Shen Subing stared blankly at Tan Yun. A single tear of relief and excitement fell from her face, dissipating in the wind.
She knew that behind Tan Yun's victory and glory lay hidden sorrow for Song Hong!
She clearly understood the pain in Tan Yun's heart beneath his halo of brilliance!
Tang Xinying gazed at Tan Yun with increasingly approving eyes. She felt like Tan Yun was a deep lake, making it impossible to look straight at its depths, filled with mystery.
Lu Yi's face was as ugly as it could be, his hunched body trembling violently with rage!
He had miscalculated!
He had lost terribly!
He originally thought that after Tan Yun was critically injured, he would be killed by the five disciples under him, sparing him the embarrassment of such a complete defeat!
But what was the outcome? Miraculously, Tan Yun had once again killed the five!
At this moment, he felt no sympathy for the death of his eighty-nine disciples; there was only rage!
His anger had nothing to do with the dead disciples; rather, it stemmed from the humiliation they brought him!
He not only felt no pity for the dead disciples; on the contrary, he believed those eighty-nine had embarrassed him!
Embarrassed him!
Made him a laughingstock!
Han Yong also never expected things to develop to this extent. He initially wanted to help his senior brother humiliate Shen Subing, which is why he suggested that Shen Subing choose eighty-nine disciples to duel against his senior brother’s eighty-nine disciples!
But he ended up doing a bad turn, and while feeling guilty, he looked at Tan Yun, his eyes flashing with barely perceptible killing intent!
Tan Yun's gaze swept over Lu Wu and Han Yong before finally settling on the disciples behind Lu Wu. In his weak voice, there was a blatant mockery and indifference, "Don't keep saying that my meritorious elder has no one under him, that all my meritorious elder’s disciples are nothing but ants."
"If I am an ant, what are you? A speck of dust, or a feather?"
"Don’t look at me with those hungry eyes; I know you want to kill me. However, there are plenty of people who want to kill me; who do you think you are?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Yi became furious, "Tan Yun, you little brat, don't be so arrogant!"
Among the more than eleven thousand disciples behind Lu Yi, there were over a thousand who had achieved great perfection in the refining soul realm. These disciples rushed past Lu Yi and confronted Tan Yun with cold glares, pointing at him:
"Tan Yun, when you recover, I will challenge you!"
"Tan Yun, do you dare to fight me in three months?"
"You ignorant little ant, I will issue a life-and-death battle challenge to you!"
Faced with the fury of a thousand, Tan Yun's eyes were filled with blatant mockery, "A bunch of people at great perfection in the refining soul realm challenging me, who is at the third layer of the refining soul realm, haha!"
"Haha!" After that, Tan Yun had no further comments. These two meaningful words felt like slaps on everyone’s faces, leaving them feeling a fiery heat!
Everyone felt like they had exhausted their strength, punching a cotton ball, with nowhere to vent their frustrations, yet feeling extremely uncomfortable!
"Tan Yun, if you have guts, then fight back..." A disciple's taunting voice had not yet faded when Lu Yi slapped him away. Lu Yi, in a fit of rage, glared at the remaining great perfection in the refining soul realm disciples and shouted, "Aren't you ashamed enough? All of you, go back with me!"
After speaking, Lu Yi shot a vicious glare at Tan Yun and soared into the air, disappearing over the Meritorious Medicine Garden.
