At that moment, silence befell the mountain.
Ye Fan was the only person who was standing proudly on the summit of Mount Yunding.
Everybody else froze on the spot.
Their feelings were a mixture of alarm, terror, sadness, and resignation.
Tang Yun was once a renowned figure in the martial arts world.
Like Ye Fan, she had been a rising star in the martial arts world and a legend. Yet, she eventually met her end.
Nobody expected Tang Yun might still be alive after getting stabbed in the chest by Ye Fan's sword.
After all, the crowd had witnessed how powerful Ye Fan was.
His final blow was akin to the descent of heavenly deities. He had managed to destroy Tang Yun's seven strikes with Undefeatable.
Therefore, it was utterly impossible for Tang Yun to survive after getting pierced in her chest.
However, just when everyone thought that the woman had finally met her end, Tang Yun's bloody figure slowly staggered to her feet from the pile of rubble ahead.
“What the...”
“Is she... alive?”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
War God widened his eyes, while expressions of disbelief crossed the faces of Sword Saint and the other onlookers.
Once their feelings of shock had subsided, looks of indescribable happiness began to appear on the faces of Chu Sect's members.
She's still alive! Ms. Tang is still alive!
Apparently, Ye Fan's final blow was not fatal, for he had missed by a few inches.
Although his sword had pierced Tang Yun's chest, it had gone through her left shoulder.
As such, fresh blood stained Tang Yun's sleeve, turning it a bright shade of scarlet.
Even though Ye Fan's sword intent had greatly depleted Tang Yun's energy, the woman survived.
However, life and death were no longer important to Tang Yun now.
With a pale face, she forced herself to stand up amidst the pile of rubble.
Unlike in the past, there was no longer any trace of dignity and elegance on Tang Yun's face. Instead, she looked pitiful and wretched.
“W-Why? H-How could it be? I used the Tang family's Cloud and Mist Sword Technique. H-How did I lose to an outsider like you? You've only just studied this technique, but I've studied it for years! So, why am I still not as skilled as you? Why? Why?” she exclaimed in despair, simply refusing to accept reality.
Tang Yun recalled how confident she was a few minutes ago and how she had felt she displayed exceptional swordsmanship.
Moreover, she had thought that Ye Fan was making a fool of himself and being a laughing stock by using the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique.
However, Tang Yun did not expect that she was the one who was making a fool of herself and being the laughing stock.
Naturally, she was immensely affected by her defeat.
The pride and dignity she once had were now crushed.
For the longest time, Tang Yun was revered as the head of Chu Sect and a legendary figure. Right now, she was nothing but an individual who had lost to the man before her.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan held his sword and stood still expressionlessly as he eyed Tang Yun, who was in a state of absolute despair.
There was neither joy nor sorrow on his handsome face.
In fact, to Ye Fan, there was nothing joyous about defeating Tang Yun.
