Chapter 127: The World's Number One Clan Changes Hands
After hearing the Second Elder's words, Tang Yuehua did not cry out for him to save her father. She knew her father's temper; to preserve the clan's honor, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his own life.
Instead, she pondered for a moment, then asked, "The Great Sumeru Hammer is a top secret of our clan. How did the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan find out about its side effects?"
As soon as she spoke, the Tang brothers glared in Ning Fengzhi's direction, their eyes practically spitting fire. That bastard! He kept saying 'the Upper Three Clans are of the same breath and branch,' yet he had clearly revealed their secrets to the enemy, hoping the two clans would suffer mutual destruction.
Amidst his own lament, Ning Fengzhi felt their hostile gazes, his face filled with depression. He had been humiliated, lost a guardian, and now was being subjected to the Clear Sky Clan's hostility. He felt an urge to cry.
"Are you suspecting that I leaked the secret?" Ning Fengzhi's voice echoed in their ears via a private transmission. The only one who could prove his innocence was Sword Douluo.
"Hmph," the brothers snorted. Besides him, they couldn't think of anyone else with the motive or ability.
"Clan Master Ning, you claim the Upper Three Clans are united, yet you leak our secrets. What a good scheme," Tang Xiao said.
"If anything happens to my father today, our Clear Sky Clan and your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan will have formed an enmity," Tang Hao added.
Helpless, Ning Fengzhi cast a pleading look at Sword Douluo.
Sword Douluo frowned and transmitted back to the brothers, "I, Chen Xin, guarantee on my character that Clan Master Ning did not leak any secrets to Yu Yuanzhen last night."
His words were highly credible, but the brothers still hadn't dispelled their suspicions. If not last night, couldn't it have been today?
"Father!" the three siblings looked anxiously at Tang Tian on the arena, able only to pray.
Above them, Tang Tian and Yu Yuanzhen transformed into black and blue streaks of light, intertwining like swimming snakes. Although Yu Yuanzhen was the one fleeing, any discerning person could see that Tang Tian's movements were much stiffer than before.
"Haha, Tang Tian, what's wrong? Can't you go on?" Yu Yuanzhen laughed loudly. After creating some distance, his sixth spirit ring lit up. "Sixth Spirit Ability — Sky-Shattering Dragon Roar!"
A dragon roar erupted from his mouth, causing the air to churn with terrifying sonic booms that rippled toward Tang Tian.
"Hmph! Impossible," Tang Tian grunted. He knew his body had reached its limit. If he detonated a seventh spirit ring and still failed to land a decisive blow, he would completely lose his combat ability. Helpless, he could only use his Clear Sky Avatar to counter. The first of his remaining black spirit rings lit up, and the Clear Sky Hammer swelled, smashing towards the sound waves.
Crack— The sound waves shattered. Yu Yuanzhen was sent flying dozens of meters by the terrifying power, but he didn't get angry. He grinned and continued to flee.
After using his avatar, Tang Tian's throat sweetened. He nearly spat out a mouthful of blood but held it back. A long tug-of-war thus began, lasting from day to night, and from night to dawn.
Finding the battle uninteresting, Qin Xuan simply sat cross-legged on the ground and cultivated.
Finally, at noon on the second day, Tang Tian could no longer suppress his internal injuries. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and Yu Yuanzhen seized the opportunity. With his eighth Spirit Ability, Dragon Ascent Thunder Blast, he condensed a large area of blue-black thunderclouds that unleashed countless dragon-shaped lightning bolts, striking Tang Tian and causing severe damage.
By now, the huge arena was unrecognizable, covered in charred pits and rubble.
"It seems the battle has been decided," Yu Yuanzhen said, looking down at the motionless, blood-stained Tang Tian. He chose not to continue attacking. Victory was assured. He was only here to claim the title, not to forge a deadly feud with the Clear Sky Clan.
"As expected of Thunder Douluo, so strong."
"It seems Clan Master Tang can't stand up. The title of World's Number One Sect will go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"Indeed. Although the Clear Sky Hammer is the World's Number One Tool Spirit, its weakness is obvious. Just as the Second Majesty said, as long as you avoid the hammerhead, the chances of winning are high."
"That's right. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon deserves to be the World's Number One Beast Spirit."
At this point, the audience also realized that Tang Tian's defeat was certain.
