Tan Yun's face was pale, and his body was trembling as he struggled under the immense pressure.
He could feel the demonic aura around him growing stronger, wrapping around him like a suffocating shroud.
“Yingying, I can’t let go! I must complete this sword formation!” he shouted, his voice filled with determination despite the pain.
“Don’t be foolish, Tan Yun!” Tuoba Yingying exclaimed, her face etched with worry. “If you continue like this, you’ll just endanger yourself and everyone else!”
The sky above them was darkened by the swirling blood mist, casting a foreboding shadow over the battlefield.
“Please, Tan Yun! You’re the only one who can stop this demonic dragon!” Mu Mengyi implored, her voice breaking.
Tan Yun took a deep breath, recalling the teachings of the body refinement technique.
He focused on the primordial divine step, channeling all his energy into stabilizing the sword formation.
In that moment, the overwhelming pressure intensified, but he could feel the support of his friends.
“I will not let you down!” he roared, gathering the last of his strength to push through the pain.
As he completed the formation, a brilliant light erupted from the Jade Tower, illuminating the dark sky.
“Together, we’ll overcome this challenge!” he shouted, rallying everyone’s spirits.
The demonic dragon roared in fury, but they stood united, ready to fight for their future.
Blood dripped continuously from his feet!
Hearing the cries of Shen Subing and the other three women, Tan Yun slowly raised his head, looking up at the tear-streaked Shen Subing. In his blood-soaked eyes, a mix of three parts warmth and seven parts killing intent radiated as he spoke firmly, “Chief, you don't need to worry about me. I'm fine!”
After speaking, he turned to the crying Mu Mengyi, Zhong Wu Shiyao, and Tuoba Yingying, and gently said, “Don’t cry, just think about who I am! How could I be killed by that cheap woman, Luo Ruoshui!”
“Even if I can’t set up the sword formation, I can still destroy her!”
Upon hearing this, Mu Mengyi, Zhong Wu Shiyao, and Tuoba Yingying knew Tan Yun's character and understood that once he made a decision, he would not easily change it. They sobbed as they urged him to be careful!
“Tan Yun, you must promise me to live and come down from the high platform!” Mu Mengyi shouted hoarsely, “Only by living can you have everything, promise me!”
“I promise you. Silly girl, don’t cry,” Tan Yun said gently, and with a burst of strength from his left hand gripping the edge of the platform, his bloody body returned to the high platform.
Seeing this scene, everyone on the summit was moved!
“Tan Yun has gone mad!”
“He must be insane!”
They could never have imagined that despite being severely injured, Tan Yun had truly returned to the high platform!
In the crowd, Zhongli Yuxin pursed her lips, and a hint of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes.
In the sky above the high platform, the demonic Luo Ruoshui, with her long hair flying, looked down at Tan Yun with her eerie purple eyes. Her purple lips curled in a cold smile as she taunted, “You are not as fast as this saintess!”
“This saintess will not give you the chance to set up the sword formation; your physical body is not as strong as mine!”
“Tan Yun, your realm, speed, body, and strength are all inferior to this saintess. Let’s see how you plan to kill me!”
What Luo Ruoshui said reflected the thoughts of the crowd!
Except for Dantai Xuanzhong, Shen Subing, Tuoba Yingying, Mu Mengyi, and Zhong Wu Shiyao, who still believed Tan Yun could win, everyone else was convinced that he should have fallen from the high platform to save his life!
To everyone, it seemed certain that Tan Yun would die today!
But what happened next shocked all the high-ranking members in the Jade Tower!
In disbelief, all the disciples on the summit widened their eyes and gasped in astonishment at Tan Yun!
Under everyone's gaze, Tan Yun looked up at Luo Ruoshui in the sky and let out a beast-like roar, “Do you want to know how to kill you? Good! I will let you see!”
