"You trespassed our land and killed our people. Tang Yun, do you admit to your crimes?"
Tang Yun was covered in blood and was so gravely injured that she looked like a fairy who had accidentally fallen from the heavens.
Her plain long dress was now smeared with blood.
The King of Fighters, Sword Saint, and Tang Hao stood before her to look down at the leader of Chu Sect.
Mo Gu-Cheng’s angry voice quietly exploded like thunder from the heavens above.
His meager words sounded murderous as boundless energy coursed within him.
Spiritual energy coursed towards Mo Gu-Cheng and gathered in his fist as though they had been summoned.
Mo Gu-Cheng looked like an archer readying his shot.
He looked like he could fire a lethal sword attack at Tang Yun anytime.
Tang Yun struggled to raise her head and looked at the King of Fighters.
The breeze sent her bangs fluttering to reveal a face that had lost all color and looked too weak to move.
She looked like a flower dying in the storm with tears in her eyes.
Ye Qing-Tian was stunned to see Tang Yun like this.
Ever since Tang Yun made a name for herself in the martial arts world, she always presented herself with sheer grace and elegance.
It was the first time Ye Qing-Tian ever saw Tang Yun so weak.
Even though she was normally so lofty and powerful, Tang Yun was just a woman after shedding all her glory.
For a moment, the God of War
sympathized with her.
Tang Hao suddenly patted Ye Qing-Tian's shoulder when he noticed Ye Qing-Tian having second thoughts.
"She deserves this and has no one else to blame. Someone has to be held accountable for killing so many of our people," said Tang Hao softly.
Ye Qing-Tian wanted to help speak on Tang Yun's behalf but suppressed his urge.
"As you wish. Since you three are the lords of War God Castle, it is up to you to decide what you do with her. King of Fighters, Sword Saint, try to spare her if you can. It is not our style to hit someone when they are down," said Ye Qing-Tian as he looked at them.
Before Sword Saint and the others could reply, Tang Yun suddenly laughed with her garments soaked in blood.
"I, Tang Yun, don't need your pity. Now that I have lost, I will admit defeat and let you kill me." Tang Yun shook her head and laughed so sadly that it sounded like a chilly autumn wind.
She sounded bleak and sad.
The deep imposing look in her eyes was now filled with hopelessness and all she wanted was to die.
"But I have not been defeated by War God Castle. I have been defeated by myself and that heartless man. I have only myself to blame for being blind. If there is a next life, I will wipe out Yeyang, Jingzhou, and the entire Jiangdong! I will not have peace until I raze Jiangdong to the ground!"
Since Tang Yun was meeting her end, she lost her previous loftiness.
She laughed tragically with sadness in her eyes.
Her words were filled with disappointment and indignation.
"Tang Yun, it seems you are determined to die today!"
"If War God Castle doesn't kill you today, we will be doing injustice to the lives you have claimed and the citizens of Jiangdong."
Tang Yun's words had thoroughly agitated the King of Fighters and the others.
Mo Gu-Cheng and the others didn't expect Tang Yun to continue remaining unrepentant at this stage.
She didn't even look the slightest regretful.
How could she still shamelessly claim that she would kill everyone in Jiangdong?
How could they spare someone as ruthless as her?
They were not giving Tang Yun any more chances.
Mo Gu-Cheng's vicious punch landed on Tang Yun's chest the moment he finished his sentence.
"Tang Yun, it's not that the Chinese martial arts circles want you to die, but you have gone overboard! Today, War God Castle will serve justice to the dead by slaughtering a demon!"
After all, what she did was intolerable.
If Tang Yun had been apologetic, they might have spared Tang Yun on account of Chu Sect.
However, Tang Yun was determined to die.
In that case, what did they have to fear?
At most, they would make enemies of Chu Sect.
