gripped the Haotian Hammer tightly, stepping onto the iron chain bridge with a clattering sound. He rushed to the position where Dai Yao and Tang Long were fighting, suddenly exerted his strength, leaped into the air, and landed behind Dai Yao after a turn in mid-air.
Tang Long and Tang Hu, one in front and one behind, formed a pincer movement against Dai Yao.
"Tang Hu!"
Tang Long's eyes widened in anger; Tang Hu's interference was an insult to him.
"Tang Long, what are you still stubborn about! You're at a disadvantage, why don't you use your soul skills? This battle concerns the reputation of the Clear Sky Sect!"
"This kid didn't have any good intentions. He didn't use his martial spirit; he just wanted to humiliate you! He wants me to make a move, right? Well, I'll grant his wish!"
Tang Hu was furious that he did not uphold the right path.
Then, the first yellow spirit ring flashed, and the entire Clear Sky Hammer grew larger. Wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, it slammed down fiercely towards Dai Yao.
The power of that hammerhead was so great that even the elders who had been immersed in it for many years nodded in approval. This hammer, which contained the resentment that Tang Hu had accumulated over the years, had reached the peak of Tang Hu's life!
Seeing Tang Hu's performance, Tang Long gritted his teeth, looking at Dai Yao with some apology in his eyes, and then unhesitatingly used his first soul skill, two Clear Sky Hammers, smashing towards Dai Yao one after the other.
The three of them were standing on an iron chain, which meant that Dai Yao had no chance of escaping.
"Do you need help with Dai Yao?"
Ghost Douluo said with some concern.
"Since Dai Yao himself suggested that Haotian Sect send another person, then trust him. Don't forget, he single-handedly defeated everyone in our team back then."
"Besides, look at Tang Xiao and that elder from the Haotian Sect, they look so wary. Do you think they would let us help Dai Yao?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo sneered.
At this moment, everyone was watching the battle on the iron chains intently. The disciples of the Haotian Sect clenched their fists tightly. The reason was simple: the pressure Dai Yao had exerted on them during the battle was simply too great.
"I want to see just how strong you have become in the past five years."
Tang San thought to himself.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the weather on the iron chain suddenly changed.
"Two people? This is finally getting interesting!"
A slight smile appeared on Dai Yao's lips, followed by a surge of soul power, and a chilling aura suddenly began to permeate the air.
Sensing this aura, Tang Long and Tang Hu both felt a jolt in their hearts, realizing something was wrong, and poured their soul power into the Clear Sky Hammer without reservation.
After the amplification, the power of the Haotian Hammer became even greater.
The Haotian Hammer hurtled towards Dai Yao with incredible speed, creating a piercing whistling sound. Just as they were about to succeed, a terrifying tiger's roar suddenly rang out, and everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
Dai Yao turned to the side, stretched out his hands, and caught the two Haotian Hammers one after the other.
boom--
The three remained locked in a stalemate, but a terrifying force and a tremendous roar suddenly erupted from the point of contact between the hammers. A gust of wind swirled, and the iron chains danced wildly.
When the storm subsided, everyone could finally see what Dai Yao looked like.
He wore a loose robe, which was stretched bulging by his muscles, revealing a terrifying body hidden beneath the robe.
White hairs grew on his palms and cheeks, and the 'king' character formed by golden hair on his forehead was particularly striking, giving him a clear sense of sacredness.
Behind him, a pair of enormous wings blotted out the sky, making him look like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"How is this possible?!"
The Seventh Elder leaned forward slightly, speaking in disbelief.
Tang Long and Tang Hu are the two most outstanding disciples among the third generation. Their strength is unmatched even when they were Soul Emperors.
Now, even though they were simultaneously using their soul skills and attacking others from both sides, they were still blocked.
"What kind of martial soul does this guy have? Why have I never heard of it before! I can actually sense a bit of suppression from his martial soul."
"The only thing in this world that can achieve such an effect is the six-winged angel martial soul of that person in the Hall of Worship! Could it be that this guy's martial soul is comparable to the six-winged angel martial soul?"
The Second Elder frowned as he spoke.
Tang Xiao looked solemn; clearly, he had also noticed this.
Seeing this, Tang San stepped forward and explained, "Sect Master, elders, Dai Yao's martial soul is a mutated martial soul, which is a mutation of the White Tiger martial soul. He was once a prince of the Star Luo royal family, but eventually defected to the Spirit Hall."
"A mutated martial soul, no wonder!"
The Second Elder said thoughtfully.
"This kid is actually a traitor to the Star Luo royal family! Betraying his family and recognizing a thief as his father, even if he has amazing talent, he is nothing more than an opportunist!"
The Seventh Elder roared angrily.
On the iron chain bridge, feeling the increasingly feeble struggle of the two Haotian Hammers, Dai Yao sneered:
"Looks like I overestimated you. Even if the two of you attacked together, you'd be nothing special. The Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit in the world? Hmph..."
Although Dai Yao didn't say anything, his flippant tone and disdainful expression made the atmosphere in the Haotian Sect, which had become extremely quiet due to shock, even more somber.
If you are not as strong as others, you can only accept their ridicule.
Upon hearing this, Tang Long and Tang Hu's expressions changed instantly. The two exchanged a glance and launched an attack on Dai Yao simultaneously. One in front and one behind, their two Haotian Hammers rained down like a storm, giving the other no chance to breathe.
To their surprise, their attacks posed absolutely no threat to Dai Yao.
Dai Yao seemed to be a level above them in both speed and strength. He could even block Tang Long's attack with one hand and then block Tang Hu's attack with the same hand.
Their seemingly fierce attacks were riddled with holes in the face of absolute speed and power.
"What a terrible guy!"
The same thought crossed their minds simultaneously. Their six spirit rings slowly emerged, with the fifth black spirit ring lighting up at the same time.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Man and Hammer as One!"
The two roared simultaneously, and the Haotian Hammer surged with dark light, its stagnant and profound aura seemingly capable of swallowing all light.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to merge with the Clear Sky Hammer, becoming one with it.
Noticing this, Tang San's gaze darkened; he knew that Tang Long and Tang Hu were about to become truly enraged. Just now, the move he used to defeat Tang Hu relied on his second soul skill, Parasite, which utilized the unique control abilities of a control-type soul master.
He was eager to know what method Dai Yao would use.
Upon seeing Tang Long and Tang Hu simultaneously use their fifth soul skills, the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect began to cheer. The previously somber atmosphere was broken by this move, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.
But the next moment, all sound disappeared, and the gaping mouth seemed to have its throat choked.
On the iron chain bridge, five soul rings quietly circled around Dai Yao.
Yellow, purple, black.
The unconventional spirit ring configuration left all the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect speechless with astonishment. Even Tang Xiao stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the five spirit rings beside Dai Yao.
"The second spirit ring takes a thousand years, and the fourth spirit ring takes ten thousand years! This is impossible! This is impossible!!!"
The Seventh Elder exclaimed in surprise.
"A prodigy!"
The Second Elder remained silent for a long time before uttering four words in a deep voice.
They exchanged a glance and both understood each other's plan: they absolutely could not let this kid go back!
Otherwise, in the next hundred years, once this child becomes a Title Douluo, the Clear Sky Sect will never have a chance to recover! When the elders pass away, the Clear Sky Sect, which is already in a period of transition, will become even weaker.
If the Spirit Hall harbors malicious intentions, their Clear Sky Sect will be permanently removed from the continent.
Today, we would rather expose the full strength of the Haotian Sect than let this boy remain here!
Tang Long and Tang Hu both froze, their fifth spirit skill almost failing to be unleashed. Although Tang San had warned Tang Long, he only realized how terrifying their opponent truly was after witnessing the unimaginable spirit ring configuration.
The two swung their hammers again, creating two long streaks of dark light in the air, like two black dragons, as they charged towards Dai Yao. Their tragic shouts made the hearts of all the Haotian Sect disciples race.
Win! We must win!
Looking at the two Haotian Hammers that were charging towards him from the front and back, Dai Yao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"As expected of the Clear Sky Hammer, even from this distance, it still makes me feel a bit uneasy. But today, I will definitely trample your Clear Sky Sect under my feet! I will utterly crush your so-called glory!"
Dai Yao's expression turned solemn, and his third purple soul ring flashed brightly.
"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Dark Gold Transformation!"
A dark golden light enveloped Dai Yao, giving him an aura of indestructibility. As Dai Yao's strength increased, the enhancement effect of his third soul skill became increasingly terrifying.
It's not that he didn't want to use a more reliable method to defeat the two; his fifth soul skill, Eight Extremes Collapse, or even his two external soul bones, would have been enough to secure a victory.
However, if we want to completely destroy their beliefs and force the Haotian Sect to reveal its strength, we must defeat them in the most arrogant way, and even defeat all dissenting voices within the Haotian Sect!
"You actually think you can use your third soul skill to block my fifth soul skill? What a pipe dream!"
Tang Long and Tang Hu thought of it at the same time.
Thump—
The two Clear Sky Hammers slammed down on Dai Yao again, but with a huge explosion, they stopped abruptly. The two black dragons, as if their vital points had been grabbed, instantly lost their imposing aura and became like two mudfish.
Tang Long and Tang Hu stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing. Their most powerful attack had been blocked by Dai Yao once again. Judging from his calm expression, he had blocked it with ease.
From the very beginning, Dai Yao had the upper hand. They were like two climbers who, after climbing for a while, thought they could see the top of the mountain, but when they looked up, they still couldn't see the summit.
In their eyes, Dai Yao was like a towering peak that reached into the clouds, unfathomable.
They were Soul Emperors, geniuses of the Clear Sky Sect. Even with their combined efforts, they couldn't force Dai Yao, a Soul King, to unleash his true power. This sense of defeat made them feel disoriented, as if the whole world had become unreal.
What they didn't know was that Dai Yao was also barely holding on at this moment. Using only his third soul skill to try and block the fifth soul skill of two soul masters whose martial souls were Clear Sky Hammers was still too much of a stretch.
But such a risk was worthwhile; the expressions of existential doubt on Tang Long and Tang Hu's faces proved that they had achieved their goal.
He feigned indifference, using the blue light to restore his damaged meridians.
"Alas, what a disappointment! Is this what the disciples of the Haotian Sect are like? I've heard so much about them, but seeing them today, they're nothing special."
Dai Yao shook his head, his face full of disappointment. It was as if he was lamenting that he couldn't find a worthy opponent. This lonely demeanor of a master made many young disciples of the Haotian Sect feel dejected.
A sense of despair began to spread within the Haotian Sect.
"Tang Hu! Buy me some time!"
Looking at Dai Yao's calm expression, Tang Long gritted his teeth and roared.
Tang Hu was taken aback upon hearing this, but instantly understood Tang Long's meaning. Judging from their performance just now, even if the two of them used their sixth soul skill, they might not be able to defeat Dai Yao. The only option now was the Haotian Ultimate Technique!
Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique!
He had to buy Tang Long time to use the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique!
The sixth black soul ring suddenly shone brightly, and silver patterns flashed on the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand. Amidst the swirling silver light, an aura that was enough to make Dai Yao feel pressure rushed over.
Meanwhile, Tang Long moved with lightning speed, spinning rapidly as he wielded the Clear Sky Hammer. A heavy and deadly aura began to gather.
It is the ultimate technique of Haotian, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
Seeing this, even the elders of the Spirit Hall gasped for breath. The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique—that name was too great. Especially the three elders of the Hall of Worship who were hidden away; they had personally witnessed the terrifying sight of Tang Chen wielding the Clear Sky Hammer.
Seeing you again this time, I can't help but feel a pang of anxiety.
"Trying to buy time for Tang Long? How naive."
Dai Yao glanced at Tang Hu, who was using his sixth soul skill behind him, and then looked at Tang Long, who was wielding the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique in front of him, and sneered inwardly.
If Dai Yao attacks Tang Hu, he will be delayed, allowing Tang Long to unleash the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique; but if he attacks Tang Long, Tang Hu will be unrestrained, and with enemies on both sides, Dai Yao will be defeated if he is not careful.
With a thought, eight pairs of wings burst forth from behind his clothes. The wings that originally belonged to the sacred white tiger transformed into white light spots, converging on the eight wings of the white tiger.
With a gentle flap of his wings, Dai Yao vanished from his spot and suddenly appeared in front of Tang Hu, as if time itself had slowed down.
Seeing Tang Hu's pupils shrink and his increasingly incredulous expression, Dai Yao pointed his fingers like a knife and swiftly and precisely stabbed into the gap in Tang Hu's hammer swing, like an unstoppable spear piercing Tang Hu's weak point and striking his chest.
The sharp aura emanating from the fingertips caused Tang Hu's chest to cave in an inch, and a sharp pain spread from his chest, causing Tang Hu to spit out a mouthful of blood.
The sixth soul skill he had planned to use failed, and the chaotic soul power raged through Tang Hu's body. Tang Hu, as expected of a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect, managed to grab the iron chain bridge at the last moment, narrowly avoiding a fall.
At that moment, Dai Yao turned around and once again flapped his eight wings, approaching Tang Long like lightning.
Looking at Dai Yao who suddenly appeared in front of him, Tang Long was shocked. He never expected that this person would defeat Tang Hu so easily!
However, he wasn't too worried, because he was using the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, and his body was surrounded by a huge amount of soul power. If they couldn't break through this soul power shield, they wouldn't be able to hurt him.
But looking into Dai Yao's calm eyes, Tang Long felt a sense of unease.
"Eight Extremes Collapse!"
With a low shout, Dai Yao swung his fist heavily, striking the soul power shield and creating ripples, but he did not shatter the shield.
Before the joy on Tang Long's face could last even a second, he felt an explosive force strike his chest.
"What?"
He was sent flying backwards, barely managing to stop on the iron chain bridge. He looked up and stared at Dai Yao with wide eyes and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, unable to believe what he had just witnessed.
Why was he still injured even though the protective shield around him wasn't shattered?!
Dai Yao retracted his right fist and smiled faintly. Having a thorough understanding of Tang San's skills, he naturally knew the characteristics of the Chaotic Cloak. The Eight Extremes Collapse was formed by compressing soul power, and the hidden force, aided by the soul power shield created by the Chaotic Cloak, could better achieve the effect of using the opponent's force against them.
The knowledge accumulated over a year in the library is now proving effective in overcoming obstacles.
At this moment, the entire venue was silent.
In a mere instant, the fierce duel was decided. Countless disciples of the Haotian Sect stared blankly at Tang Long and Tang Hu, despair and helplessness filling the hearts of every disciple.
Tang Long and Tang Hu are no match for Dai Yao, so who else in the Haotian Sect can stand against him? Is the Haotian Sect truly destined to be forever trapped in this harsh and cold land?
Looking at Dai Yao again, she couldn't help but feel a sense of fear and resentment.
Tang San clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. Now, it was his turn to step onto the stage! (End of Chapter)
