"Send you all on your way together!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Zheng Quan, standing in the Heavenly Palace Square, looked up at Tan Yun, who was hovering in the air above the Floating Platform. He appeared timid, with beads of sweat the size of peanuts covering his forehead!
He felt intimidated; although he wasn't afraid of Tan Yun's speed, he always had a sense that Tan Yun had not yet unleashed his fastest pace.
“Zheng Holy Son, did you not hear what this elder of law enforcement said?” Yuwen Fengjun shouted sternly.
Zheng Quan ignored him, turning around with sweat pouring down, looking up at Zheng Long, the elder supreme of the Wind Thunder Lineage atop the Jade Tower, his eyes filled with panic. “Great-grandfather, I am no match for the young sovereign; I won’t challenge him... I want to withdraw.”
Zheng Long clenched his fists tightly, then turned to face Dantai Xuanzhong and deeply bowed. “Sovereign…”
Before Zheng Long could finish his statement, he was interrupted by Dantai Xuanzhong's dismissive gesture. “This sovereign has no objections, as long as the young sovereign agrees.”
Zheng Long took a deep breath and looked at Tan Yun, who was hovering above the Floating Platform, bowing deeply once more. “Young Sovereign, I have only one great-grandson, please, for my sake, spare his life!”
“Hahaha… ahahaha!” Tan Yun suddenly burst into laughter, his voice filled with hatred and arrogance!
He extended a finger, pointing at Zheng Long, and stated emphatically, “Nine years ago, during my coronation, who was it that proposed to challenge me?”
“It was you, Zheng Long!” Tan Yun pointed at the elders of each lineage, “You all proposed it!”
After a pause, Tan Yun fixed his gaze on Zheng Long, coldly saying, “You only care for your great-grandson, so you don't want him to die.”
“What about me? I also have parents and a grandfather! They also have only one son, one grandson!”
“If I am not his match today and plead for mercy, do you think he would spare me for the sake of my parents and grandfather?”
Hearing this, Zheng Long sighed heavily, then performed a gesture that moved everyone!
The proud elder supreme of the Wind Thunder Lineage, Zheng Long, kneeled before everyone, repenting, “Young Sovereign, I beg you!”
Tan Yun remained unmoved, his expression terrifyingly calm. “Zheng Long, you may rise. Pleading to me is useless.”
“Remember, if Zheng Quan dies, the true culprit will not be me, but… you!”
“Since nine years ago, when you protested my ascension, the fate of your great-grandson was sealed!”
Upon hearing this, the kneeling Zheng Long trembled with anger, not expecting that even after kneeling, Tan Yun would not spare his great-grandson!
“Great-grandfather, please get up, don’t beg him!”
Zheng Quan, with bloodshot eyes, shouted from the Heavenly Palace Square, “Great-grandfather, your kindness to me, I will remember in my heart!”
“If I meet misfortune today, you must take care of yourself!”
“Dong, dong, dong!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Quan bowed three times heavily towards Zheng Long on the Jade Tower. With each bow, his forehead struck the ground hard, causing it to bleed!
“Tan Yun, I will fight you!”
Zheng Quan shouted, standing up; his legs no longer trembled, his gaze no longer filled with fear!
Clearly, he still had some backbone!
“Wuwu—”
In an instant, he stepped into a whirlwind and soared into the air, moving as fast as lightning, unleashing a blade of thunder power that stretched over a hundred meters, charging towards Tan Yun above the Floating Platform!
“Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Technique—Thunder Shakes the Nine Heavens!”
“Hong long long—”
At the same moment, Zheng Quan executed the ultimate technique taught to him by Zheng Long. Suddenly, deafening thunder roared in the perfectly clear sky.
“Zzzzz—”
In the next moment, thick bolts of Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, resembling fierce thunder dragons, descended from the sky, engulfing the void within a ten-thousand-meter radius!
