The dazzling light instantly sliced through all of Tang San's resistance, striking the Clear Sky Hammer hard and producing a tooth-grinding sound.
But just a moment later, the Clear Sky Hammer vanished in a dark light, and the remaining shockwaves of the Sky-Tearing Claw struck Tang San.
"Um!"
Tang San groaned, a deep, bone-revealing wound on his chest oozing blood that stained his blue clothes red.
Fresh blood also flowed from the gaps between the mask and the skin on the face.
The air Tang San inhaled was filled with the smell of blood.
"The mistress!"
Tang Xiao cried out in anguish.
He stopped chasing Lingyuan Douluo and, accompanied by a loud bang in the air, sped towards Tang San.
"If you want to save him, you'll have to ask me for permission first!"
Lingyuan Douluo noticed Tang Xiao's preparation to rescue Tang San, and immediately changed direction, no longer running away, and harassed Tang Xiao from the side.
"Do you want to die?"
Tang Xiao coldly stared at the Spirit Kite Douluo attacking him and shouted sharply.
He was in a terrible headache. Although Lingyuan Douluo was no match for him, she was still a titled Douluo, and she was extremely fast and had incredibly tricky attacks.
You could get injured if you're not careful.
He only wanted to save Tang San and didn't want to get entangled with Ling Yuan Douluo, but Ling Yuan Douluo insisted on blocking him.
"My task is simply to stall you. As long as you don't go to save Tang San, I won't make things difficult for you."
Lingyuan Douluo floated in mid-air and chuckled. Wearing a tight-fitting suit, her agile figure was exceptionally charming.
But during the stalemate between the two, Dai Yao made a move.
Dai Yao, who was following closely behind the Sky-Tearing Claw, had already rushed to Tang San's front. He looked at the dying Tang San and sneered.
With one hand grabbing Tang San's head, the eight wings flapped, and without mercy slammed him into the cliff face of the canyon, sending countless stones flying.
At the same time, he kindly held onto Tang San's mask to prevent his current appearance from being revealed.
"Tang San, didn't you want to kill me? What's wrong now? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Dai Yao sneered.
He gripped Tang San's head tightly, which was stuck in the cliff face, and held it still. With the force of his eight wings, he plummeted straight down.
Tang San's head carved a deep trench in the cliff face, and countless pebbles fell into the canyon like a torrential rain.
When Dai Yao stopped and pulled Tang San out of the cliff, Tang San's back was a bloody mess, and his long, light blue hair was gone, leaving only a bloody mess.
I could barely detect his presence.
"Holy crap, did we really kill him?!"
Dai Yao muttered to himself.
Seeing the blue light emanating from Tang San's right leg, he breathed a sigh of relief. With the inexhaustible power of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, Tang San was still able to save his life.
"The mistress!"
Upon seeing Tang San's miserable state, Tang Xiao could no longer remain rational, and his aura became wildly chaotic.
Sensing this, Lingyuan Douluo's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she retreated rapidly. Despite her best efforts to defend herself, a mouthful of blood still surged into her throat.
"Dai Yao, retreat quickly!"
She called out loudly.
Dai Yao turned around abruptly and saw the enraged Tang Xiao charging towards him again. Startled, he threw Tang San towards the canyon below, then used his eight wings to propel himself into the sky.
If Tang Xiao wants to save Tang San, he must let him go; if he tries to kill him, Tang San will surely die.
"Damn brat!"
Seeing Dai Yao's actions, Tang Xiao cursed angrily. But he couldn't possibly watch Tang San die just to kill Dai Yao.
In that case, he didn't know how to face Tang Hao, or... Ah Yin. Moreover, Tang San was also the future of the Clear Sky Sect; he absolutely couldn't let him die.
With a swift movement, she rushed towards Tang San, who was plummeting into the canyon, and caught up with him, pulling him into her arms.
Looking at the dying Tang San, carefully sensing his breath, and noticing the faint glow in his right leg, he seemed to remember something, finally letting out a long sigh, and said with a complex expression:
"Ah Yin, is this your soul bone? You've saved your son's life again!"
Then, he raised his head, staring at the constantly darting Dai Yao, his face filled with undisguised killing intent:
"Boy, you're going to die today!"
His soul power surged, and he slowly floated upwards, holding Tang San in his arms, to prevent further aggravation of Tang San's injuries. After a while, he finally flew to the front of the Clear Sky Sect.
"Big brother, how's the mistress?"
Seeing Tang Xiao appear carrying Tang San, Tang Yuehua asked anxiously.
"Thank goodness, she survived. Luckily, that kid didn't know the function of Xiao San's soul bone, otherwise Xiao San would be dead."
Tang Xiao said with a look of relief.
In fact, Dai Yao had already used methods other than breaking necks to make the scene realistic. Under the effect of the Blue Silver Emperor, these fatal injuries would all heal.
"Yuehua, I'm leaving Xiaosan in your care. I'm going to have a good talk with the Spirit Hall!"
Tang Xiao slowly handed the dying Tang San to Tang Yuehua, then turned around and coldly stared at the figures of the several Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall in the sky. The snow and ice in the sky were not as cold as the coldness in his eyes.
"Okay, brother, you must be careful."
Tang Yuehua gave him a worried look and gave him instructions.
Three Title Douluos have arrived from the Spirit Hall today, and their intentions are far from small. If things go wrong, the Clear Sky Sect will face annihilation.
After Tang Xiao ascended into the air, Tang Yuehua gazed at the critically injured Tang San, her heart breaking. Tang Hao's son had been beaten to such a state before her very eyes, and she could do nothing about it…
"Damn the Spirit Hall!"
She thought through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with hatred as she stared at Dai Yao's figure in the sky.
······
In the sky, three Title Douluos from the Clear Sky Sect and three Title Douluos from the Papal Palace faced each other.
The three titled Douluo of the Haotian Sect are led by Tang Xiao, with the Second Elder and the Seventh Elder on the left and right sides respectively.
Tang Xiao's icy gaze pierced through the three Title Douluos in the Papal Palace, staring intently at Dai Yao. With his hands behind his back, he spoke in a deep voice.
"Spirit Hall, hand over Dai Yao, or none of you will leave the Clear Sky Sect alive!"
Tang Xiao's powerful voice boomed and echoed in the sky like muffled thunder, leaving no doubt about his determination to keep Dai Yao here.
"The Haotian Sect is so powerful!"
Ghost Douluo sneered in a hoarse voice.
"Heh heh, didn't your Clear Sky Sect just stop us from rescuing Dai Yao? Saying it was a duel between the two of them! What, now that Tang San got beaten up, you're getting angry and won't let us leave?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke in a sinister tone, continuing to deliver the finishing blow without any mercy.
The titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect were momentarily speechless, unable to utter a word.
After all, they are the number one sect in the world, and they are the ones who speak the rules. Now, when they encounter the even stronger Spirit Hall, they can no longer bully those smaller forces and make the Spirit Hall obediently agree to their conditions.
"Are you really going to protect Dai Yao?"
Tang Xiaohan said in a cold voice, raising the Haotian Hammer in his hand slightly, its dark light surging, clearly preparing to make a move.
On the surface, they have three Title Douluos, and all of them are Soul Masters with the Clear Sky Hammer as their Martial Soul. Against the three Title Douluos from the Papal Palace, they have a complete advantage.
Seeing this, the Second Elder and the Seventh Elder exchanged a glance and released their Martial Souls. Their nine Soul Rings flashed, and their powerful auras made many Haotian Sect disciples unable to lift their heads.
Without any hesitation, Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo immediately stood in front of Dai Yao, unleashing all eighteen of his martial souls.
Lingyuan Douluo even flashed to Dai Yao's side, grabbing Dai Yao's collar, ready to activate his martial soul and leave at the slightest sign of trouble.
Looking at the three men, Tang Xiao and his companions, who were on the verge of drawing their swords, Chrysanthemum Douluo sneered:
"Nonsense! How dare you, a mere Clear Sky Sect, take away the people of my Spirit Hall? If you dare take another step forward, the Clear Sky Sect will cease to exist. Don't say you weren't warned!"
Three Title Douluos from the Hall of Offerings are hiding nearby, just waiting for the Clear Sky Sect to make their move! At that time, wouldn't six Title Douluos be able to wipe out the Clear Sky Sect?
"It seems you're all destined to die."
Tang Xiao said in a deep voice.
But just as he was about to make a move, the Second Elder placed a hand on his shoulder and whispered in his ear with some suspicion:
"Sect Master, something's not right. These three guys aren't fools. They know they're no match for us, yet they show no fear whatsoever. This confident and fearless attitude makes me feel uneasy."
It has to be said that old people are wise and experienced. The old guy who survived the Spirit Hall's purge had an extraordinary sensitivity to danger and immediately noticed Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo's unusual behavior.
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the three Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall again, his face immediately darkening.
He dared not gamble with the future of the Haotian Sect.
If the Clear Sky Sect exposes all its trump cards in order to kill the three members of the Spirit Hall, it will only face certain death. However, if it lets Dai Yao return safely, the Clear Sky Sect will have no chance of recovery in the future.
For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma.
The situation has once again reached a stalemate.
Seeing the three hesitant Haotian Sect members, Dai Yao had a bad feeling.
He cannot allow the Haotian Sect to reveal its strength on its own initiative, otherwise his mission will have failed.
Nodding at Spirit Kite Douluo, and amidst Spirit Kite Douluo's surprised gaze, he challenged the three Title Douluos of the Clear Sky Sect:
"What, you have to kill your opponent just because you lost? Is this how the number one sect in the world behaves?"
The hot-tempered Old Man Qi angrily said:
"Boy, it's none of your business how the Haotian Sect behaves! We haven't settled accounts with you for injuring my Haotian Sect disciple today!"
"Hahaha, what a ridiculous joke!"
Dai Yao laughed loudly:
"You want to kill me, but you can't even let me fight back? However, I can give you a chance, a chance for revenge!"
Although Chrysanthemum Douluo wanted to stop him, seeing the determination on Dai Yao's face, he knew that Dai Yao was not a reckless person, so he shut his mouth, came to Dai Yao's side, and did his job of protecting him.
Upon hearing this, the three Title Douluos of the Clear Sky Sect frowned. Tang Xiao stared at Dai Yao and said coldly:
"Kid, tell me your terms."
Dai Yao grinned, deliberately raising his voice so that all the Haotian Sect disciples could hear him, and said loudly:
"Your Haotian Sect is nothing but a bunch of fame-seeking fools. You are no match for me. If you're not convinced, come at me all at once!"
Dai Yao's arrogant voice echoed in the sky. The more than two hundred disciples of Haotian Sect were stunned at first, and then burst into a roar of angry curses!
"You brat, how dare you insult my Haotian Sect? You're tired of living!"
"If I don't beat you to a pulp today, I'm not a member of the Haotian Sect!"
The disciples of the Clear Sky Sect were mostly hot-blooded men who had been living in seclusion in the harsh mountains for many years. They were already full of resentment, and the failures of Tang Long, Tang Hu, and Tang San only added to their anger.
Now, Dai Yao's provocation was like a spark, instantly igniting their long-accumulated resentment, like a powder keg ready to burn everything to ashes.
They couldn't believe that more than two hundred Haotian Sect disciples couldn't kill Dai Yao to vent their anger.
Tang Long, Tang Hu, and some second-generation disciples clenched their fists, waiting for Tang Xiao's order to cross the iron chain bridge and attack Dai Yao.
Tang Xiao narrowed his eyes for a moment and immediately understood Dai Yao's plan. This guy wanted to break the bones of the Haotian Sect!
If more than two hundred Haotian Sect disciples cannot defeat Dai Yao even if they attack together, how can the Haotian Sect disciples still hold their heads high?
At that time, if one's mindset is unstable, one's future path as a Soul Master may stagnate.
However, their Haotian Sect believed in courage and diligence, and they defeated all enemies in front of them with a single blow.
Now, Dai Yao is already mocking them from above. If they don't agree, the Haotian Sect disciples' anger will be directed at the one who refuses.
This is an open conspiracy!
Tang Xiao could not refuse. The only way to break this open conspiracy was for his two hundred disciples to defeat Dai Yao.
Tang Xiao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm his dizzy head. If he lost, even as the sect leader, he would be held responsible.
"What? Two hundred people attacking me alone and you don't even dare?"
Dai Yao pressed closer and closer.
"Kid, are you crazy? There are over two hundred of them, and they all have the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul. Even if you're very powerful, you can't possibly be a match for that many people."
Ju Douluo lowered his voice and tried to dissuade Dai Yao.
"Your Majesty Chrysanthemum Douluo, please trust me. I'm confident. Even if I lose, you and the other Your Majesties can still take me with you, right?"
Dai Yao smiled and reassured Chrysanthemum Douluo.
After a long pause, Chrysanthemum Douluo said helplessly, "I've really gotten on your pirate ship!"
Ghost Douluo and Spirit Iris Douluo exchanged a glance, and Spirit Iris Douluo smiled and said:
"Dai Yao, just go for it. It would be our good fortune to witness you defeat all the disciples of Haotian Sect all by yourself."
"Even if you fail and I can't save you, I don't believe that old man Qingluan won't save you! If he doesn't save you, then he can just wait for Wutong to sever ties with him!"
Dai Yao smiled and nodded.
"You chose the path to heaven but refused to take it, and you barged into the gates of hell. Kid, I hope you won't regret your choice after you die."
Tang Xiao said calmly.
He had made up his mind that if Dai Yao defeated all the disciples of Haotian Sect, he would spare no effort to kill Dai Yao here.
"Disciples of Haotian Sect, heed my command!"
Tang Xiao shouted, his powerful voice echoing in the hearts of the Haotian Sect disciples like rolling thunder.
"Disciple is here!"
The more than two hundred disciples suppressed their anger and spoke in unison.
The deep-seated hatred contained in the voice sent chills down the spines of the several Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall.
"Whoever kills Dai Yao and takes his head will be rewarded with a piece of inherited soul bone!"
Tang Xiao shouted.
In an instant, the disciples of Haotian Sect erupted in excitement.
