Tan Yun's face flushed with anger as he heard Tuoba Qingtian's mocking words.
Seeing Tan Yun's furious expression, Tuoba Qingtian became even more arrogant.
"Are you angry? Hahahaha! Then you little bastard, go ahead and kill this general!"
"That's right, this general is a spy! It was this general who had someone disguise themselves as you and then butchered Dantai Xuanzhong like a dog!"
The laughter echoed in the air, filled with disdain and provocation. Tan Yun gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly as he struggled to hold back his rage.
The humiliation and fury surged within him, causing his spiritual sense to tremble. He knew in his heart that he could not let Tuoba Qingtian's words instigate him into a reckless action.
Instead, he took a deep breath, trying to calm the tumultuous emotions within.
"Tuoba Qingtian," Tan Yun said, his voice steady yet filled with resolve, "you will pay for your arrogance and treachery!"
With that, he summoned his Flying Sword, its blade gleaming ominously in the light. The sword aura radiated from him, filling the atmosphere with a sense of impending doom.
Tuoba Qingtian's laughter faded as he sensed the shift in Tan Yun's demeanor. He could feel a powerful force emanating from Tan Yun, and his smile faded, replaced by a look of caution.
"You think you can defeat me?!" he shouted, trying to sound confident, but there was a hint of unease in his voice.
"I will make you regret underestimating me," Tan Yun declared, channeling his Danmai to unleash the full might of the primordial chaos god-slaying sword technique.
As the tension between them escalated, the atmosphere crackled with energy, and the battle was on the verge of erupting.
"Buzz!"
Tan Yun threw the severely injured, defenseless Tuoba Qingtian into the void behind him and commanded, "Han Gu, keep an eye on him, don't let him die!"
"Once this sovereign stabilizes the internal chaos, let Tuoba Qingtian suffer the most brutal torture before he dies!"
After receiving the order, Han Gu, who was on the brink of collapse from flying in the air, caught the half-dead Tuoba Qingtian with one hand!
In an instant, Tan Yun released his spiritual sense and discovered that 700,000 miles to the north, in the sky, Jin Xuzi and Yuwen Jinglun were engaged in a frantic battle!
The two exchanged lethal strikes, causing sections of the sky to collapse under their overwhelming power!
Tan Yun's expression grew serious as he noticed that Yuwen Jinglun had lost a left leg, blood continuously oozing from the corner of his mouth!
Jin Xuzi was not much better off; his face was pale, with a ghastly sword wound on his neck, blood cascading into the void, and his entire left arm was nothing but stark white bones!
Tan Yun wanted to assist Yuwen Jinglun, but ultimately did not go. He understood that if he went now, it would be like seeking death!
Even though Jin Xuzi was injured, he could not withstand a single strike from him unless Jin Xuzi became even more severely wounded!
Subsequently, Tan Yun had no choice but to use his spiritual sense to search for the remaining eight lineage patriarchs.
…
Moments later, a patriarch from the Artifact Lineage heavily injured a powerful member of the Heavenly Punishment Organization while pursuing him on his Flying Sword. Suddenly, an emotionless voice descended from the sky, "Traitor, go die for this sovereign!"
It was Tan Yun, stepping into the void above the Artifact Lineage patriarch, who retracted the Divine Sword of Annihilation and summoned a purple giant sword, murmuring to himself, "Primordial Chaos God-Slaying Sword Technique—Five Elements Annihilation!"
Tan Yun danced rapidly through the void, wielding five swords!
"Swish, swish, swish—"
In an instant, a sword aura of the power of gold, a sword aura of wood elemental power, a sword aura of water elemental power, a sword aura of fire power, and a sword aura of earth power erupted from the purple Flying Sword, rapidly converging into one, transforming into a long, multicolored Five Elements Sword Aura extending three thousand zhang, violently slashing towards the patriarch of the Artifact Lineage!
