Xiao Wu Makes a Move
Qian Xunji flipped his left hand, and the God of Light Bow appeared in his grasp.
The bowstring tightened automatically, and the Divine Light Power transformed into an arrow, the arrowhead locking onto the First Elder's chest.
"The First Form of the God of Light Bow - Flash Light Evil-Breaking."
He murmured a word and released the bowstring.
The arrow of light tore through the night sky, flying towards the First Elder like a golden spear.
"Qian Xunji!" Tang Yin's roar rang out in mid-air.
He leaped down from the platform, his Clear Sky Hammer swelling to the size of a small mountain, and smashed towards the arrow of light, shouting, "Nine Absolute Clear Sky Techniques - Break Character Technique!"
The hammerhead struck the tip of the light arrow, and the dark energy collided with the Divine Light Power, causing a terrifying shockwave to ripple outwards from the point of impact.
Boom!
The light arrow was smashed to pieces, turning into a shower of golden light fragments.
Tang Yin was also thrown back more than ten steps by the recoil, but he landed steadily in front of the First Elder, Clear Sky Hammer held horizontally in front of his chest, his face ashen.
Just then, Black Mist cascaded down from the platform like a waterfall, and a slender figure slowly emerged from the mist.
Xiao Wu stepped barefoot into the air, her black skirt fluttering without wind. With each step she took, a Black Lotus bloomed beneath her feet, only to dissipate as she lifted her foot.
She hovered in the air above the very center of the battlefield, her eyes looking down at Qian Xunji.
"Qian Xunji, as the successor of the God of Light, you have dragged the continent into darkness and war. Do you truly deserve such a title?"
Qian Xunji gripped the God of Light Bow, meeting her gaze. "What do you mean by that? You were the one who started it, and you created this Black Mist too, weren't you?"
"I did all these things because of you. You're the one who drove me to this point."
Qian Xunji frowned. "What do you mean? Who are you?"
"Who I am, you'll only know once you're dead."
After saying that, Xiao Wu raised her head and flew into the sky.
A long, slender, black cane now rested in her right hand.
Dark Divine Power enveloped his entire body and condensed into black divine armor.
She raised her staff with both hands, her voice resounding throughout the heavens and earth. "My name is Darkness, all spirits submit!"
From this day forward, light is our slave, and shadow our master!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Black Rose on the cane suddenly bloomed.
A dark energy far beyond the comprehension of the mortal realm spread wildly in all directions from her center, tearing the entire night sky in half, from which endless Black Mist poured out.
The golden light of the Bright Lamp rapidly shrank under the crushing force of this dark energy.
Dozens of seconds later, the five Bright Lamp exploded simultaneously, and the light energy accumulated over decades flashed in the darkness before being completely swallowed by the Black Mist.
The terrified cries of the people in the city rose from every corner. The soldiers could not see their own hands in front of their faces and could only barely make out the faces of their comrades by relying on the remaining Soul Guidance Lamp on the city wall.
"Uncle Golden Crocodile, Father—I'm begging you."
"Okay." Qian Daoliu nodded.
Golden Crocodile Douluo turned around and met Qian Daoliu's gaze.
The two reached out their hands and clasped them tightly in the darkness.
"Big brother, we can fight side by side again."
"Yes, for the Spirit Hall, for everyone." Qian Daoliu nodded.
The two released each other at the same time and turned to face the surging darkness.
The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul unfolded behind Qian Daoliu, golden Holy Light soaring into the sky. The Angel Phantom raised the holy sword high with both hands, the holy flames on the sword hissing as they burned the surrounding darkness.
The Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul appeared behind the Golden Crocodile Douluo. The Crocodile King opened its huge mouth and roared, and the golden light waves merged with the Angel Holy Light.
The energies of two Peak Douluo were unleashed simultaneously, dispelling most of the dark energy within a radius of dozens of miles.
Qian Xunji closed her eyes.
In that instant, all sounds from the battlefield were stripped from his consciousness.
He clasped his hands together in front of him and flicked his fingers repeatedly.
A crystal-clear droplet of water slowly condensed and took shape in his palm.
A colossal Angel Guanyin, appeared behind him, with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, her brows lowered and her gaze lowered.
Just then, a heart-wrenching roar rang out from the other side of the battlefield.
"Spirit Hall —Give me back my son's life!"
Tang Yin soared into the sky, and all nine of his Soul Ring exploded simultaneously.
The energy generated by the explosion of the nine Soul Ring poured wildly into the Clear Sky Hammer, causing the hammer to expand to an unprecedented size.
His skin was covered with dense black cracks, a sign that his body could not withstand the force, but he did not care.
Both his sons were dead, one by Qian Xunji's sword and the other by the Spirit Hall's poison. His only purpose in living was to drag the Spirit Hall down to hell with him.
He sacrificed his entire life, Qian Xunji toward Chihiro.
"I'll go stop him."
Golden Crocodile Douluo took a step forward, heading straight to meet Tang Yin.
The Seventh Soul Ring and ninth Soul Ring lit up on him simultaneously.
"Seventh Soul Skill - Martial Soul Avatar"
"Ninth Soul Skill - Crocodile Emperor Domain Suppression, Unbreakable Barrier!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's body grew to enormous size, his skin covered in golden scales.
He lay on the ground, a thick golden barrier unfolding around him. As the Golden Crocodile Douluo, known for his strongest defense, he was completely unafraid of Tang Yin's Clear Sky Hammer.
He opened his enormous mouth and let out a deafening roar at Tang Yin.
In the air, Xiao Wu hovered at the thickest point of the Black Mist, looking down at the Angel figure with six wings spread below.
A disdainful smile appeared on her face, and her voice was indifferent. "It's useless. Before a god, even Peak Douluo is nothing but an ant."
She raised the dark staff in her hand, the Black Rose at the top of the staff fully blooming, "Divine Skill - Hand of Darkness."
Hundreds of enormous, pitch-black hands emerged simultaneously from the Black Mist. Each hand was nearly half the size of a city gate, its fingers covered in dark scales, and its tips sharp as spears.
The giant hand spread its five fingers wide, like hundreds of black meteorites falling simultaneously, crashing towards Spirit City.
On the street, a small golden figure was flying towards the city wall.
Qian Renxue's eight wings were particularly conspicuous in the darkness. She had been helping to get the dishes in the kitchen, and in that brief moment, she had climbed out through the back window.
She stopped and looked up at the hundreds of giant black hands shooting down from the sky.
Each one contains dark energy far exceeding that of a Title Titled Douluo.
"It's a god!"
Qian Renxue's delicate body trembled as she saw a golden figure with six wings spread above the East Main Gate.
"Grandpa, watch out!"
Qian Daoliu raised his head and looked at the hundreds of giant black hands that were crashing down on him, without showing any fear on his face.
He unleashed the Angelic Divine Power without reservation, and the Angel behind him spread their six wings, enveloping the entire Spirit City in golden Holy Light.
"Angel Protection."
A massive golden protective shield unfolded around him, completely obscuring the sky above.
The first giant dark hand slammed into the protective shield, causing the golden light to tremble violently.
The second one, the third one, the tenth one, the fiftieth one...
The Hand of Darkness continued to strike, causing the cracks on the protective shield to widen.
The protective shield shattered upon hitting the seventy-third target.
