Ahem, These Belong to Our Spirit Hall

"This beast is stalling for time. Everyone, follow me and take this beast down first!"

Tang Xiao shouted and summoned his Martial Soul Avatar.

"Eighth Spirit Ability: Clear Sky Shocking Earth."

"Clear Sky Nine Absolutes: Shattering Word Absolute."

He ignored whatever the Sky Azure Bull Python had to say. Since they had come, they definitely could not leave empty-handed. With the Titan Giant Ape absent, this was the perfect opportunity.

"The Four Affiliated Clans will surround that transformed Soul Beast. Elders of the Clear Sky Sect, attack the Sky Azure Bull Python with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He, and Tai Tan immediately unleashed their Martial Soul Avatars, transforming into four streaks of light.

"Oh no, Aunt Rou!"

Seeing the four figures flying away, the Sky Azure Bull Python was about to leave when nine muscular men wielding hammers blocked its path.

"Damned humans, get out of my way!"

"Azure Annihilation Thunder!"

Apparently enraged, the Sky Azure Bull Python released crackling azure lightning from its body as dark clouds gathered overhead.

Lightning pillars as thick as a man's waist struck viciously toward the nine people blocking the way.

"Retreat!"

The azure lightning was incredibly fast. Though they noticed it in time, several of them were still struck, leaving charred wounds across their bodies.

"Brother Hao, Elders, let's join forces!"

The nine of them each summoned their Martial Soul Avatars and shouted in unison:

"Haotian Nine Absolutes: Ninety-Nine Returns to One!" ×9

"Explode Spirit Rings!" ×2

"Great Sumeru Hammer!" ×2

Nine enormous hammers radiated terrifying black light, as though everything would be annihilated beneath it. Even the Sky Azure Bull Python appeared so tiny before those giant hammers.

"Oh no, Da Ming!"

Ah Rou, who had been entangled in battle, saw the terrifying might of the Clear Sky Hammers and hurriedly shouted to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, hurry and help Da Ming! I'll hold them back!"

"Boom!"

Unfortunately, it was already too late. The enormous Clear Sky Hammer slammed brutally into the Sky Azure Bull Python's huge body, smashing it into the Lake of Life and sending waves several meters high into the air.

"Invincible Golden Body."

The waves raised by the Clear Sky Hammer were not something Xiao Wu and Ah Rou could withstand either. They hurriedly used Invincible Golden Body to shield themselves.

The shockwaves even spread throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

At that moment, Er Ming, who had been sleeping, sensed the aura coming from the Lake of Life and abruptly sprang up.

"Oh no... Aunt Rou... Da Ming... they're in dan...ger."

At that moment, the Sky Azure Bull Python burst out of the Lake of Life. Its lower body was already a mangled mass of flesh and blood, and its blood had dyed the entire lake red.

"It actually withstood our combined attack. As expected of the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest."

The Clear Sky Sect members were also exhausted by now. At most, they could launch one final combined attack.

Apparently worried that the tremendous commotion would draw the Titan Giant Ape over, Tang Xiao hurriedly shouted at the people from the four clans.

"Four Clans, quickly take down that transformed Soul Beast!"

Having been kicked away by that big white rabbit had already embarrassed those Spirit Douluo immensely. At once, they all unleashed their Eighth Spirit Abilities.

Iron fists, long spears, and raging rhinos surged forward, determined to cripple the two rabbits and take them away.

"Invincible Golden Body."

Xiao Wu used Invincible Golden Body once again. The Sky Azure Bull Python had been beaten to the brink of death and could barely look after itself.

Just then, the ground suddenly began to tremble. After one violent quake, everything fell still, leaving only a faint roar.

"How... dare you hurt... Aunt Rou... Die!"

"Titan Meteor Fall."

The patriarchs of the Four Affiliated Clans were attacking together. When they looked up, they saw an enormous black ape carrying incomparably intense power crashing down from the sky.

"Old Goat, get out of the way!"

Unfortunately, it was already too late. The Titan Giant Ape slammed down, stirring up violent winds and clouds of sand and dust. The patriarchs of the Four Affiliated Clans were crushed directly into meat paste.

"Damn it, that beast still made it here."

Tang Qi, the hot-tempered Civil War Phantom God and future father of Blazing Sun Douluo, looked at the enormous Titan Giant Ape before him, a trace of gravity flashing through his eyes.

Seriously wounding the Sky Azure Bull Python had already been their limit. Now that there was also a Titan Giant Ape, things had become truly troublesome.

"Er Ming, you finally came. These humans attacked Mom the moment they appeared, and Da Ming was injured by them too."

Seeing that Er Ming had arrived as well, Xiao Wu poured out everything that had happened.

"Sister Xiao Wu... don't be sad. Humans... die!"

The Titan Giant Ape looked at the battered Sky Azure Bull Python, wildly swinging its enormous fists and producing explosive booms.

"Elders, combine our attacks once more!"

The nine Haotian True Bodies merged together again, though their momentum was clearly weaker than before, not even half as powerful as the blow that had struck the Sky Azure Bull Python.

The Clear Sky Hammer collided with the Titan Giant Ape's iron fist, and the resulting shockwave sent both sides flying back dozens of meters.

"Er Ming!"

Xiao Wu cried out as she saw blood seeping from the Titan Giant Ape's hand. It was clearly at a disadvantage.

"Ninth Spirit Ability: Demon-Breaking Sky-Rending Hammer. Explode Spirit Rings. Great Sumeru Hammer."

Knowing things were going badly, Tang Xiao unleashed all the Soul Power in his body and delivered his strongest strike at the Titan Giant Ape.

"Invincible Golden Body."

Xiao Wu leaped in front of the Titan Giant Ape and used Invincible Golden Body for the final time, blocking the fatal blow.

Yet it only held for an instant. The shockwave raised by the Clear Sky Hammer sent Xiao Wu flying, smashing her heavily into the ground.

Seeing that all four Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had been injured, Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and several Clear Sky Sect elders exchanged smiles.

They knew perfectly well that it was fortunate the Titan Giant Ape had not been there from the start, allowing them to heavily injure the Sky Azure Bull Python first.

Then, they had joined forces to defeat the Titan Giant Ape.

"I never expected to encounter four Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts on this trip. Even Spirit Hall probably doesn't get to see so many, hahaha."

As the Great Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Ming was also quite delighted.

Although the patriarchs of the Four Affiliated Clans had died, they were merely outsiders, servants who existed to serve the Clear Sky Sect. Their deaths were no great loss.

If these elders absorbed the four Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings, they could break through to the Title realm within a few years.

Then there would be four Titles possessing Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings and Soul Bones. Even Spirit Hall probably did not have that many.

"Wait. I'm willing to sacrifice myself to you, as long as you let them go."

Seeing that there was no way to turn things around, Ah Rou stared resolutely at the murderers before her. Dragging her severely injured body, she walked toward the Clear Sky Sect members.

"Otherwise, I'll self-destruct, and you won't get anything."

"Hmph. If you self-destruct, they'll all die without question. How about this? We only want two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. You sacrifice yourselves, and we'll leave immediately."

Tang Xiao naturally would not let three Soul Beasts go. At the very least, they had to take two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts with them.

Just as Ah Rou was still hesitating, a sinister voice descended from above.

"Hehehe, looks like we arrived at just the right time. You Clear Sky Sect people can leave now. These four Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts belong to our Spirit Hall."

Ghost Douluo suddenly emerged from the shadows. Then Qian Xunfeng, with Ah Yin in his arms, and Chrysanthemum Douluo, accompanied by Qian Renxue, slowly appeared in the sky, looking down coldly at everyone below.

"Spirit Hall, coming here at a time like this... aren't you breaking the rules of the Soul Master world?"

Qian Xunfeng's sudden appearance immediately sent everyone's mood plummeting. Spirit Hall had not come early or late, but appeared right after the battle was over. This was absolutely no coincidence.

They could only invoke the rules of the Soul Master world: whoever attacked a Soul Beast first had the claim to it.

"What a coincidence. Our Spirit Hall was also planning to hunt these four Soul Beasts, and your Clear Sky Sect happened to come as well."

He deliberately ignored the grievously wounded Ah Rou and the others. All he knew was that the Clear Sky Sect had arrived alongside them. As for the battle that had just taken place, Ghost Douluo's response was: what battle? I didn't see anything.
