"Oh? They succeeded? Really?" Wu Tong's eyes flashed with coldness. "They might not know my strength, but you certainly do."
Come to think of it, he had been too busy lately and almost forgot about settling scores with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He hadn't expected them to strike first before he could even make a move.
Well, this was the perfect opportunity to resolve this nuisance once and for all.
"It's not that I doubt you," Dugu Bo explained, "but those guys gathered a bunch of reckless brutes—nearly ten Titled Douluo in total—and launched a surprise attack. So…"
Titled Douluo?
Wu Tong almost laughed. A month ago, he might have considered such a force noteworthy. But now?
What even is a Titled Douluo? How dare they challenge me?
Ten? A hundred? A thousand? In Wu Tong's eyes, they were all just one move away from annihilation.
However…
"Nearly ten Titled Douluo?" Wu Tong's eyes narrowed slightly. Where had the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan found so many Titled Douluo?
While he looked down on them, there was no denying that Titled Douluo were currently the pinnacle of combat power on the Douluo Continent.
But as far as Wu Tong knew, all factions with Titled Douluo had already allied with him. So who…?
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
Right. How could I forget about them?
Aside from the Sun Moon Empire, only a handful of factions hadn't allied with him.
Eliminating Sea God Island and a few reclusive sects, the remaining possibilities were obvious.
Reckless brutes, numerous Titled Douluo, acting without thinking, and no alliance with him…
"The Clear Sky Sect?"
Dugu Bo nodded, unsurprised. "Exactly. I knew you'd figure it out. It's those barbarians from the Clear Sky Sect."
"But I have no idea what that old fool Yu Yuanzhen offered to make them mobilize all their Titled Douluo."
A cold glint flashed in Wu Tong's eyes.
The Clear Sky Sect, huh? Even after learning I'm a god's inheritor, they still dared to attack me?
Are they doing this on purpose?
It was said the Clear Sky Sect lacked brains, but Wu Tong refused to believe an entire sect couldn't produce a single rational person.
Did they still think they were the continent's number one sect?
Well, this worked out perfectly. Wu Tong had been searching for an excuse to deal with the remaining unallied factions, and now they'd handed him one.
They'd made their choice. Now they'd face the consequences.
Wu Tong made up his mind. The Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had existed long enough. It was time to make way for new powers.
As for their collaboration? Maybe it was just a transaction.
Did it matter?
Not at all.
All Wu Tong needed to know was that they'd joined forces to attack him.
Since they'd taken action, they'd now bear his retaliation.
"So, what's your plan now, kid?" Dugu Bo asked.
"My plan?" Wu Tong's voice was icy. "What's done is done. The outcome can't be changed."
"So I'll just retaliate directly and wipe out both sects."
"Good!" Dugu Bo didn't object. After all, he was no saint either. Holding grudges was in his nature, and Wu Tong's approach suited him perfectly.
He immediately pulled out his soul tool phone to contact other factions.
"No need. I'll handle this myself," Wu Tong stopped him.
Being annoying wasn't their fault, but knowingly provoking him was.
In such cases, only one outcome was acceptable:
Their deaths, or my peace of mind!
Root and branch, no exceptions.
Wu Tong didn't care much about these insects, but letting them run around and cause trouble was worse than crushing them outright to eliminate future threats.
"You mean you're going alone? No, absolutely not! Even if you're a Titled Douluo, how can you take on ten of them by yourself?"
"And they're all assault-type Titled Douluo, possibly even Super Douluo above rank 95!" Dugu Bo waved his hands frantically.
Wu Tong paused, then gave Dugu Bo a strange look.
Right. Dugu Bo didn't know about his recent progress. No matter how much he speculated, he'd never guess Wu Tong had reached a level where he could contend with gods in just a few months.
Wu Tong shook his head and released a fraction of his suppressed aura.
Instantly, a vast, overwhelming pressure surged from him like a cascading river, shaking the heavens and earth. The skies darkened, and the winds howled as if the world itself trembled before his might.
To Dugu Bo, Wu Tong seemed to transform into a true deity, his every movement radiating divine majesty. Under that pressure, Dugu Bo felt like a lone boat tossed by a storm—utterly powerless.
Though it lasted only a moment, the display left Dugu Bo deeply shaken.
Retracting his aura, Wu Tong smiled. "Well? Still think I can't handle them?"
Dugu Bo snapped out of his daze, his back damp with cold sweat.
"…Of course you can. What level have you reached now? It feels like your strength skyrockets every time I see you."
"Just a while ago, you were a Titled Douluo. Now, a mere wisp of your aura makes me feel helpless."
"Don't tell me you've become a god?"
Dugu Bo shot Wu Tong an aggrieved look and fired off a barrage of questions.
Wu Tong simply smiled, enjoying the sight of Dugu Bo's flustered state.
Finally calming down, Dugu Bo realized his questions might have been too intrusive.
