"It's been several years, Tang Xiao. You've actually become the sect leader. Back then, when we last fought, Tang Hao was there too. The Haotian Twin Heroes, how come you're the only one left?" The Demon-Slaying Douluo asked knowingly, feigning sudden realization amidst Tang Xiao's furious expression, once again reopening a wound the Haotian Sect was unwilling to dredge up:
"Oh! I remember now. It's because Tang Hao betrayed his sect for a 100,000-year-old soul beast."
"Poor Tang Xiao, I heard that your old sect leader was so angry that he died because of this."
"shut up!"
With a fiery temper, the Fifth Elder roared, pointing his massive Haotian Twin Hammers—larger than himself—directly at the Demon-Slaying Douluo, "My Haotian Sect is not a place where you can run wild!"
"Oh, isn't this the Fifth Elder of the Clear Sky Sect? It's been many years, and you've already become a Title Douluo?" The Demon-Slaying Douluo's gaze shifted from Tang Xiao to the Fifth Elder.
"It's a pity, even if you become a Title Douluo. There are still differences between Title Douluos."
Even though the Fifth Elder was already a Title Douluo, he showed no respect whatsoever in his words. This blatant contempt nearly made the Fifth Elder, who already hated the Spirit Hall with a vengeance, explode.
The Second Elder, with his white hair and beard, moved his lips slightly, tugging at the string in the Fifth Elder's heart that was about to snap.
"Don't fall for their provocation, Fifth Brother. This is a deliberate provocation by the Spirit Hall."
"The sect's main peak is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as we cut off both ends of these strange vines, they won't be able to get through for the time being!"
Unless all the Soul Masters who come are flying-type Soul Masters!
The Fifth Elder felt a surge of frustration welling up inside him.
He stared grimly at the Demon-Slaying Douluo, who had a half-smile, and the indifferent Thousand-Pound Douluo, holding back his anger.
The Second Elder, who was closer to the Twin Elders, stared coldly at them and said, "There's no need to try to provoke us. Spirit Hall, nearly twenty years have passed, and Tang Hao has long been expelled from my Clear Sky Sect. His subsequent crimes have nothing to do with my Clear Sky Sect."
"You should all understand that the actions of those who have been expelled from the sect cannot be blamed on the sects they once belonged to. So why have you come to our door today and even murdered innocent outer disciples of my Haotian Sect?"
As he spoke, the Second Elder's gaze swept over the black-clad Soul Masters among the Dark Soul Guards, whose blades were still stained with crimson blood. Considering that no disciples had come to report the matter from down the mountain, he guessed that the outer disciples down the mountain had probably already met a tragic end, and his gaze became even more intimidating.
The Demon-Slaying Douluo laughed: "Since the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect in the world, is unworthy of its position, it should stop occupying the position without doing its job. We, the Spirit Hall, will be free laborers and let the capable rise to the top!"
The last note was emphasized as Demon-Slaying Douluo and Thousand-Pound Douluo charged towards them simultaneously.
Tang Xiao and his six companions' expressions changed drastically. While shouting for the other disciples in the sect to cut off both ends of the vines, they tacitly divided into groups of three to meet the Thousand-Pound Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo, whose soul power cultivation had exceeded level 95.
"superior!"
"kill!"
The sounds of battle were deafening.
The dazzling soul rings and soul skills are like fireworks, displaying the ultimate brilliance of life, and then decline, with life returning to zero.
The Dark Soul Guards charged forward wave after wave, while the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect launched attacks in tacit coordination, with the group possessing stronger soul power leading the charge, preparing to use the Clear Sky Hammer to smash the ends of the vines.
However--
Just as they were about to act, the jagged vines mysteriously transformed into countless dark green specks of light and disappeared.
Instead, there was an endless expanse of pale white and a suddenly flat, barren basin.
The disciples of the Clear Sky Sect, who had originally held the advantage of terrain, lost the cover of their sect buildings and were exposed to the sight of more than a thousand Soul Masters!
Even the young children hiding within the sect looked at the suddenly appearing dense crowd with expressions of helplessness and fear.
"What?!"
Tang Xiao, the current sect leader of the Haotian Sect, narrowed his eyes and then gave the order:
"—Quickly form the formation! Have the rest of the disciples enter the formation's range!"
"Hahaha—! It's too late!"
The Demon-Slaying Douluo laughed loudly and slammed his Dragon-Panding Staff hard against the Fourth Elder's Clear Sky Hammer.
With a loud bang, the Fourth Elder coughed up blood and was thrown dozens of meters away, embedding himself heavily in the cliff face of another mountain, suffering considerable injuries.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body! Lotus Heart Domain, activate!"
Hundreds of black rays of light rose up, and the azure Haotian Formation was formed in an instant. At the same time, the dual control and suppression from the sky and the ground also pressed in.
Many inexperienced disciples of the Haotian Sect who were encountering the Divine Realm for the first time lost control of their bodies and self-awareness after looking up and seeing the enormous moon.
Clouds and mist swirl around, the air is still as water, and golden lotuses bloom in the thin mist, their slender stems and lotus leaves and roots linked together like a net, resembling a celestial palace or a jade pool, a beauty that is literally breathtaking.
Golden roots wrapped around the bodies of the Haotian Sect disciples. The harmless, golden lotus stamens seemed to have sharp teeth, piercing their skin and drawing blood and soul power as nourishment. More and more lotuses bloomed, and the golden color of the lotuses became more and more intense.
As the center of the dual domains, Qian Yuelong was finally exposed to the sight of the Haotian Sect members.
A gigantic golden lotus phantom, like the king of lotuses, emerged from the void and hovered above the lotus heart of the lotus platform, enveloping Qian Yuelong.
The Second Elder coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes widening in shock as he stared at Qian Yuelong, who was surrounded and guarded in a circle by more than ten Soul Saints.
"There are...five 100,000-year spirit rings?!"
This is absolutely unprecedented! Unprecedented!
"Old man, where are you looking?"
A gloomy voice came from behind.
A chill exploded on his scalp and back, and the Second Elder's pupils contracted sharply as he quickly turned to defend himself.
"Clang—!"
The Haotian Hammer beneath the weapon spirit's true form struck the hard tortoise shell. The enormous recoil caused his arms to go numb, and he was sent flying backward like a stone launched from a slingshot!
"An elder of the Spirit Hall, the Sea Turtle Douluo..."
Tang Xiao stared intently at the nine-ring Soul Master whose entire body was encased in a semi-transparent tortoise shell, his heart sinking.
Three Title Douluos, two of whom are Elders of Level 95 or above, and one of whom is a Soul Douluo with extraordinary Soul Rings... The Spirit Hall is determined to succeed this time!
We can't hold back anymore!
With an imposing aura, Tang Xiao took a step forward, and nine spirit rings flew up from beneath his feet. Under the suddenly tense gazes of Demon-Slaying Douluo and Thousand-Pound Douluo, starting from the ninth spirit ring, Tang Xiao's spirit rings began to shatter inch by inch from high to low!
Explode! Ring!
"Boom! Boom—!!"
A deafening roar echoed outwards.
The shattered fragments of the spirit ring transformed into several streams of light, channeling their power into the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Xiao's hand.
The other five elders of the Haotian Sect also unhesitatingly used their trump card, the Exploding Ring, intending to fight to the death!
"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"
Wherever the powerful aftershocks swept, those Dark Soul Guards closest to the center of the power whose soul power level was weaker than that of a Soul Saint were all shattered, their internal organs destroyed, and they died spitting out blood!
Even Qian Yuelong's Lotus Heart Domain began to flicker and shimmer, like a mirage in the desert.
"Everyone below the Contra level, get out of the combat area! It's the Clear Sky Hammer's exploding ring!"
Elder Turtle's expression changed drastically. His figure flashed in the void as he activated his Martial Soul True Body, supporting a soul power barrier that shielded the other Dark Soul Guards from most of the shockwaves.
"Saintess!"
Qian Yuelong's gaze darkened slightly as she looked at Qian Jun Douluo, who had unhesitatingly stepped forward to support the Demon-Slaying Douluo, and Tang Xiao, whose aura was terrifying.
"I'll deal with the Second and Third Elders. You take care of the Fourth and Fifth Elders! The Sixth Elder is yours! Everyone else, evacuate immediately and establish a cordon around the area!"
The final "you" clearly refers to the three Dark Soul Guard captains with Soul Douluo cultivation levels who accompanied the team.
