In that instant, as dozens of lightning arrows struck Qian Renhan, he used Soul Power to cover his body and form a protective membrane. A concentrated Soul Power attack like Thunder Dragon Claw could indeed overwhelm the Fallen Angel's absorption speed through sheer volume, but scattered lightning arrows turned into pure Soul Power and were absorbed before they could break through his protective membrane.
"How is that possible? Myriad Thunderbolts is my strongest move!" Yu Tianyuan said in disbelief. He could not accept that his all-out attack had dealt no damage.
"You can get down now." Qian Renhan swung his sword and slapped Yu Tianyuan across the face, sending him flying off the arena.
"Next."
Having defeated two opponents in a row, Qian Renhan's voice remained as calm as ever, without the slightest emotional fluctuation. There was no joy on his face from defeating the strongest of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Yu family's Tian generation despite being above his level. It was as though everything had simply happened as it should.
Yu Longchen's expression was extremely ugly. The strongest junior of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Tian generation had already been defeated. Could he really send members of the previous generation? There were indeed Soul Elders among them, but they were at least three times Qian Renhan's age. Even if they won, it would only disgrace the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
At that moment, Tang Xiao respectfully said, "Senior Longchen, Your Holiness the Pope, your hall's young master is indeed extraordinarily gifted. It is difficult to find an opponent of the same level who can match him. The younger generation of my Clear Sky Sect would also like to exchange pointers with your hall's young master."
"I already said that anyone from the younger generation may take the stage. Naturally, your sect's younger generation is welcome to do so." Qian Xunji smiled faintly, then gazed leisurely at Tang Xiao as his voice entered Tang Xiao's ears. "Tang Xiao, do you have any news of Tang Hao and that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
Tang Xiao's powerful body trembled slightly as he replied through voice transmission, "Your Holiness the Pope, Hao's Younger Brother has been missing for many years. I have no news whatsoever."
Qian Xunji narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "I hope you are not deceiving me. A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast taking human form and entering the human world—no one knows what she intends to do. If she wishes to gather intelligence on the Soul Master world, learn its strength, and then contact the Soul Beast race to launch a beast tide, just how great a disaster would that cause?"
"I understand, Your Holiness the Pope. The Clear Sky Sect will also do its utmost to search for news of Hao's Younger Brother and Ah Yin."
Tang Xiao answered like that on the surface, but inwardly, he was utterly disdainful. What nonsense about Ah Yin being a Soul Beast spy gathering intelligence on the Soul Master world. Had he not spent three whole years with Ah Yin? Ah Yin was a kind-hearted fairy. Along the way, she had treated every injured person, whether commoner or Soul Beast. She had never harbored any intention of harming the human world. If they coveted Ah Yin's Spirit Ring and spirit bone, they should not make it sound so righteous!
On the arena, a boy of around ten or eleven stepped forward. He had a broad back and a sturdy waist, stood nearly one and a half times Qian Renhan's height, possessed bronze-colored skin, ordinary features, and bright, spirited eyes.
"Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hu. Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer. Level 29 Power Attack Type Soul Grandmaster!"
Two yellow Spirit Rings rose beneath Tang Hu's feet. Dense and tyrannical black Soul Power surged in his right hand before forming a black iron hammer the size of a water barrel, wrapped in lightning.
Qian Renhan's eyes narrowed slightly. The Clear Sky Hammer—the weapon Martial Soul publicly recognized as the strongest in the world of Soul Masters, said to suppress all weapon Martial Souls. But it was just a hammer. Could someone tell him exactly how it suppressed every weapon Martial Soul on the continent?
Tang Hu gripped the Clear Sky Hammer, stomped heavily forward with both feet, turned his body slightly, and swung the hammer horizontally with both hands toward Qian Renhan's kidney. He appeared to be imitating how Qian Renhan had previously defeated Yu Tianyuan with a single sword strike.
The world's strongest weapon Martial Soul? Since it's a hammer, let me see how powerful it really is.
When it came to a hammer's strength, Qian Renhan could only think of destructive force. Faced with a hammer, he naturally would not foolishly take it head-on. He planted his sword into the ground with his left hand and vaulted up into a handstand. As the distance between Qian Renhan's body and arm and the ground increased, the sword slowly rose with him. At that very instant, Tang Hu's hammer had already arrived.
Clang—
With a crisp sound, the black longsword formed from Soul Power shattered. Qian Renhan's left hand trembled slightly and went numb, nearly sending him flying in the direction the Clear Sky Hammer had swung.
Tang Xiao smiled faintly, calm and composed. Qian Renhan's sword had been shattered, and his means of attack was gone. The scales of victory had already tipped toward them. Even if the Fallen Angel could absorb Soul Power, the Clear Sky Hammer had no Soul Power for him to absorb. Every Soul Skill only enhanced the Clear Sky Hammer's destructive force. One hit from that hammer, and his body would fall apart.
"The power is indeed strong." Qian Renhan shook his left hand, fell backward, and landed on his feet once more on the arena, keeping nearly three meters away from Tang Hu.
Tang Hu curled his lips into a smile and pointed the hammer at Qian Renhan. When facing members of Spirit Hall's Angel Clan, every member of the Clear Sky Sect's Tang family possessed a sense of pride—the pride of crushing Angel inheritors. Their Clear Sky ancestor, Tang Chen, had defeated Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined Elder Qian Daoliu in a fair duel. So what if Qian Renhan had a Fallen Angel? Tang Hu could still hammer him flat.
Tang Hu then assumed his stance and exerted force with both hands, swinging the Clear Sky Hammer. To everyone's surprise, the black light on the Clear Sky Hammer grew denser with every swing, while the currents of air it produced became increasingly violent.
"Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer!"
Some powerful Soul Masters in the audience recognized this iconic Self-Created Soul Skill of the Clear Sky Sect.
The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer could stack the force of every swing. At its highest, it could stack eighty-one hammer strikes. Once an eighty-one-strike Disorder Splitting Wind Clear Sky Hammer came crashing down, its power was enough to split mountains and shatter the earth.
"Brother, don't let him keep stacking it!"
Qian Renxue shouted from the audience. Everyone in Spirit Hall was extremely wary of this hammer technique. Whoever encountered it would generally try every possible way to interrupt it and prevent its power from erupting.
Tang Xiao coughed lightly. "Your Holiness the Pope, your hall's Saintess has violated the rules, has she not?"
Qian Xunji's expression also darkened somewhat. "Xiaoxue, no reminders!"
Seeing Qian Xunji suffer a setback, Yu Longchen, Ning Fengzhi, and Chen Xin in the audience all looked much more pleased. The pressure Qian Renhan had displayed when instantly defeating Yu Tianyuan and defeating Yu Tianshuang without injury had been far too overwhelming.
Xiaohan, what exactly are you doing? Qian Xunji looked at Qian Renhan, who had no intention of acting and was simply standing there quietly as Tang Hu continued stacking his strikes. He was completely perplexed. Qian Renxue had just warned him, and Qian Xunji refused to believe Qian Renhan had never read books introducing the Clear Sky Sect and the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.
"Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, six times six—thirty-six strikes!"
After finishing the stacking, Tang Hu leaped into the air. The Clear Sky Hammer, now completely shrouded in dense black light, smashed down. Qian Xunji on the platform and Pufferfish and Snake Lance in the audience were already prepared to rescue someone at any moment, but would Qian Renhan really be so foolish?
The instant Tang Hu's leg muscles bent, the Eight-Winged Fallen Angel behind Qian Renhan trembled, and he flew into the air, evading Tang Hu's attack range.
