Clear Sky Sect Disciples Taller Than a Horsewhip Shall Be Executed!

Crack—!

A crisp shattering sound rang out alongside a deafening explosion.

Tang Xiao's colossal Clear Sky Hammer, containing his lifetime of cultivation and the profound essence of the Clear Sky Nine Arts,

was forcibly split in two the instant it touched the Ice Blue Sword Light!

The frozen Soul Power core within the broken hammer instantly lost balance and exploded.

Countless massive Ice Crystal fragments wrapped in crimson lightning and earthy yellow halos scattered in all directions like fireworks of death.

His martial soul forcibly severed, Tang Xiao shuddered as if struck by lightning and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blood turned into crimson Ice Crystal powder the moment it left his mouth.

An indescribable extreme chill traveled through the severed connection to his martial soul and instantly pierced every limb and bone in his body.

Third sword—suppression!

Ye Xian's gaze remained as still as an ancient well.

Facing Tang Xiao, whose Soul Power had scattered and whose mouth was spilling blood, he simply raised the Frost King Sword in his hand and gently pressed it downward toward Tang Xiao!

An absolute will of icy coldness, seemingly from the deepest depths of Nine Nether Hell, descended with a roar like an invisible primordial iceberg!

"Urgh—!"

Tang Xiao let out a muffled groan of unbearable agony.

That invisible will ignored his remaining Soul Power defenses and struck directly at the source of his spirit.

His staggering body abruptly froze. His knees seemed to have been struck by an invisible giant hammer, and he uncontrollably crashed to the ground on them!

Boom—!

His knees slammed into the frozen, hard ground with a dull boom, smashing out two deep pits.

Spiderweb-like icy cracks crazily spread dozens of yards outward from where he knelt!

Tang Xiao braced both hands firmly against the ground, trying to resist the terrifying will that seemed capable of freezing even his soul.

Yet his head was pinned down as though beneath an immense weight. No matter how he struggled, he could not raise it even an inch.

He could only kneel helplessly and humiliatingly beneath Ye Xian's sword point.

A thick layer of frost covered his body, and every breath came with the faint sound of Ice Crystals shattering.

Frozen bloody foam continuously spilled from his mouth. His unfocused eyes were filled with incredulous despair and humiliation.

Three swords!

Only three swords!

Tang Xiao, the current Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect and a Peak Douluo possessing the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, had his martial soul severed, his Soul Power scattered, and was grievously wounded to the brink of death, forced to kneel in humiliation!

Everything had happened too quickly,

so quickly that the determination and rage on the faces of the three Clear Sky Sect elders preparing to strike together had not even had time to turn into shock.

"Sect Master—!"

The three elders let out heart-rending roars, their eyes splitting with fury!

They could not believe what was before them!

Their Sect Master, the Sect Master who had stood like a pillar supporting the heavens in their hearts, had actually been so utterly helpless before the Pope of Spirit Hall!

"Fight him! Save the Sect Master!"

Second Elder Tang Ming roared wildly. His enormous Clear Sky Hammer carried the force to shatter mountains and split earth as he smashed it toward Ye Xian without regard for anything else.

The Third Elder and Fifth Elder also had bloodshot eyes. They followed close behind, unleashing their strongest attacks.

Crimson lightning, the heavy force of mountains, and hammer shadows that tore through space merged into a torrent of destruction.

They sought to break through that frigid domain and save the kneeling Tang Xiao.

However, they were not facing Ye Xian alone!

"Hmph! You overestimate yourselves!"

A thunderous snort rang out!

"Before Your Holiness the Pope, how dare you act so presumptuously!"

A shrill, feminine voice rang out with a cruel laugh.

"Those who profane Divine Might shall be executed!"

A clear and sacred voice carried the weight of judgment.

Almost the instant the three Clear Sky Sect elders made their move, the Spirit Hall powerhouses behind Ye Xian moved as well!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four powerful Titled Douluo auras erupted without restraint.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, Snake Lance Douluo She Long, and Porcupinefish Douluo Ci Xue charged at the three Clear Sky Sect elders like four ferocious beasts released from their cages!

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum bloomed around Yue Guan, and countless golden petals radiating venomous and razor-sharp auras swept toward Second Elder Tang Ming like a storm.

Gui Mei's figure merged into the shadows as streaks of cold, lethal Soul Power spikes silently stabbed toward the vital points around the Third Elder's body.

She Long's Snake Lance flashed like lightning, its violet electricity capable of tearing space apart as it stabbed straight at the Fifth Elder.

Porcupinefish Douluo's body swelled as he spewed a broad cloud of poisonous mist that corroded Soul Power, shrouding the battlefield.

That was not all.

Three even more immense, sacred, and imposing auras descended immediately afterward.

"Clear Sky remnants, still resisting to the bitter end!"

Fourth Enshrined Elder Mighty Lion Douluo's mountain-like body crashed down, and the phantom of a blazing lion raised its head and roared at the sky.

A massive golden claw carrying the force to crush everything fiercely struck at Second Elder Tang Ming's flank.

"Surrender without resistance!"

Third Enshrined Elder Azure Phoenix Douluo moved as gracefully as the wind, yet his speed had reached the extreme.

The azure phoenix phantom unleashed gusts that sliced through space, instantly sealing off every avenue of escape for the Third Elder!

Fifth Enshrined Elder Light Feather Douluo did not attack directly. He floated at the edge of the battlefield, a longbow condensed from pure light elements already drawn to its limit in his hand.

A light arrow flowing with sacred purification power locked onto the battlefield below from afar, radiating a lethal threat.

Four Titled Douluo elders and three Super Douluo Enshrined Elders.

Seven against three!

With an absolute advantage in numbers and strength, Spirit Hall instantly formed an overwhelming encirclement.

"Despicable!"

Second Elder Tang Ming roared furiously. His Clear Sky Hammer had only just blocked Yue Guan's storm of petals and Golden Crocodile Douluo's terrifying claw when Gui Mei's silent sneak attack had already reached him.

He barely twisted aside and raised the hammer shaft to block, but a cold Soul Power spike pierced through his shoulder blade, instantly freezing his blood.

The Third Elder was in even worse shape. Azure Phoenix Douluo's slicing winds battered his protective Soul Power barrier until it shook violently.

She Long's cunning and vicious violet lightning Snake Lance clung to him like a maggot to bone, leaving scorched wounds across his body.

The Fifth Elder's Soul Power circulation was disrupted by Pufferfish's poisonous mist, slowing his movements.

With Light Feather Douluo's Purifying Light Arrow liable to descend at any moment, he was even more constrained, unable to act freely!

The battle became one-sided almost from the very beginning!

The strength the Clear Sky Sect had always taken pride in appeared so pale and powerless beneath Spirit Hall's carefully prepared siege and Ye Xian's frigid domain that suppressed the entire battlefield!

"Pfft!"

"Urgh!"

Muffled groans and the sounds of vomiting blood rang out without end!

Under the relentless, storm-like assault, the three Clear Sky Sect elders struggled desperately, accumulating more and more wounds.

Their auras visibly weakened at a rapid pace.

Every time they tried to approach the kneeling Tang Xiao, they were forced back by even fiercer attacks, often paying an even greater price!

Defeat was certain!

Tang Xiao struggled to raise his head, his vision blurred by frost.

All he could see were the three elders fighting in blood, retreating step by step.

And their furious yet despairing cries.

A despair and sorrow deeper than his physical wounds instantly drowned him.

Clear Sky Sect... could it truly be destroyed today... because of me?

At that moment, Ye Xian's voice rang out calmly like that of a god.

"Elders, heed my command!"

"Kill your way into the Clear Sky Sect!"

"Any Clear Sky Sect disciple taller than a horsewhip shall be executed!"
