“Who is outside?”
Lu Yi's eyes filled with tears as he and Han Yong turned sharply to look, only to see a figure dressed in the Turtle Breathing Cold Veil walking in.
From the voice, the two recognized it was an old man.
“Who are you?”
Lu Yi and Han Yong felt a sense of vigilance.
The Turtle Breathing Cold Veil blocked their sight, preventing them from discerning Tan Yun's cultivation level and appearance.
“You two little brats don’t need to know who this old man is; you don't have the qualifications to know,” Tan Yun's indifferent voice made Lu Yi and Han Yong stunned, filling them with a sense of awe.
“Such a big tone, could it be an old fossil from above?” Han Yong and Lu Yi exchanged glances, and after a silent conversation, Lu Yi clasped his fists and bowed, saying, “Senior, please tell me who killed my son.”
“Go down on your knees and beg this old man, and I will tell you,” the aged voice came from Tan Yun.
Lu Yi frowned, hesitating.
“I've given you the chance. Since you won't kneel, then this old man will leave. Once I leave, you will never find out who the murderer is!” Tan Yun laughed, turning as if to leave.
“Senior, the hatred of killing a son cannot be shared under the sky!” Lu Yi gritted his teeth and suddenly knelt down, “Please tell me, Senior!”
“You kneel too.” Tan Yun turned to look at Han Yong.
Han Yong was filled with anger, but upon seeing Lu Yi's pleading gaze, he took a deep breath and slowly knelt down.
“Hmm, very good.” A cold smile appeared on the corner of Tan Yun's mouth as he walked steadily to their front, saying without a doubt: “Listen carefully, old man will only say this once.”
“Yes, Senior!” Lu Yi lifted his head, his gaze eagerly fixed on Tan Yun.
“That is… old man me!” Tan Yun suddenly lifted the Turtle Breathing Cold Veil, his voice sharp, and in a swift motion, his right leg swept out towards the unsuspecting pair, landing a kick on Han Yong's right arm!
“Crack!”
“No!”
In an instant, Han Yong, at the first level of the divine soul realm, had his right shoulder shattered, his arm severed from his body, blood spraying as his body was blasted against the hard cave wall.
“Tan Yun, you little bastard, I will kill you!” Lu Yi thought of Lu Wu's death and roared, pouring all his strength into his right palm as he struck towards Tan Yun's chest!
Facing the incoming attack, Tan Yun still stood with his hands behind his back, not dodging or avoiding.
“Bang!”
“Crack, crack!”
“Ah… my hand!”
At the moment Lu Yi's right palm struck Tan Yun's chest, a furry ape's paw rushed out, crashing against Lu Yi's right palm, blood splattering and severed fingers flying, Lu Yi howled as his right palm exploded!
“Bang!”
Blood sprayed from Lu Yi's mouth as his body fell, crashing down in front of Han Yong against the wall!
“Damn it, you still want to kill my master?” Amidst the curses, to Lu Yi's and Han Yong's terrified gaze, a purple-black shadow shot out from Tan Yun's chest, followed by the heavenly slayer demon ape, towering one person high, holding a black rod, appearing before Tan Yun!
“Buzz—”
Tan Yun waved his right arm, casting a soundproof barrier. At this moment, no matter how loud the sounds in the cave were, they could not be heard outside!
“Tan Yun, let’s talk things out; don’t kill us!”
“Tan Yun, let’s clear our past grievances, alright? Please don’t let this old grandpa ape kill us!”
“Tan Yun, I beg you!”
Lu Yi and Han Yong knelt down, knocking their heads like garlic!
The two weren't foolish!
Although they couldn't discern the type of spirit ape the heavenly slayer demon was or its grade level, they could deduce from the fact that it spoke human words that it was a fourth-tier spirit beast!
Especially Han Yong, at the first level of the divine soul realm, his body trembled. He understood that even a fourth-tier early-stage demon beast could easily crush him without effort!
Han Yong regretted immensely; if given another choice, he would never have accompanied Lu Yi to the Inner Sect in the dead of night!
