Angel Legion VS Hammer Men (Part 2)

Not to mention how Tang Xiao over at the Clear Sky Sect camp was raising flags, new developments had already emerged on the battlefield.

Whoosh—

At some point, the winds from the sky and the ground finally met.

Invisible ripples spread gently outward, as though foretelling something.

Crack!

The next moment, an incredibly violent, unidentified explosion suddenly erupted where the two winds joined. The wind on the ground visibly grew stronger, while the wind in the sky weakened slightly. It seemed that the ground wind was freely and greedily devouring the wind above.

At the same time, the Hammer Men within the Clear Sky Array clearly felt that using the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer had become much easier.

Compared to before, it felt like drifting downstream in a small creek had turned into floating amid the waves of rivers and seas.

It was undoubtedly exhilarating, but also... uncontrollable!

What was the Angel Legion doing?

Helping the enemy?

They were baffled, yet they knew full well that the Angel Legion could not possibly be so kind. Perhaps because they had yet to realize that they themselves were gradually becoming uncontrollable, they could not figure out the reason for the moment.

They simply could not stop—and would not stop—swinging the Clear Sky Hammers in their hands.

One hammer... two hammers... three hammers...

Each hammer was stronger than the last!

Just like that, the faint unease in the hearts of the Clear Sky disciples was quickly lost amid the powerful sensation brought by the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

Whatever!

As the saying went...

With enough force, one could break through all techniques!

They were not accustomed to using their brains, so they habitually chose not to use them.

That included Third Elder, their leader.

His only thought was that once his Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer reached eighty-one consecutive strikes, he would surely be able to sweep away everything.

It was hardly surprising that he thought so. After all, a full-force hammer strike of Disorder Splitting Wind's Nine-Nine Return to One, empowered by the Clear Sky Array, was enough to severely injure a Titled Douluo head-on if they did not dodge. What could the Angel Legion possibly amount to in his eyes?

Thus, although he had remained at ease even under the effects of the two merging winds, he stopped thinking any further, just like the disciples behind him.

Meanwhile.

The Angel Legion in the sky had stopped paying attention to the increasingly terrifying wind below. They rose high into the air, then scattered in every direction under Ling Yuan's unhurried commands.

Immediately afterward, an invisible thread of wind appeared in each Angel Legion member's hand. The ends of those threads vaguely connected to the raging winds sweeping through heaven and earth, as if they were influencing and controlling something.

The Clear Sky disciples sneered inwardly at the sight.

Were they trying to avoid the Clear Sky Hammers' frontal assault and harass them from the sides?

That would do nothing more than scratch the Clear Sky Array!

How ignorant. How ridiculous!

One hammer... two hammers... three hammers...

But finally, when Third Elder within the Clear Sky Array had stacked his Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer to sixty strikes, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The wind around them was growing stronger and stronger.

And more and more violent.

This feeling...

It was as though the Clear Sky Hammer was about to build up momentum and execute the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer by itself under the wind's pull, while he had become nothing more than a medium—a tool!

Simply put, the Clear Sky Hammer was becoming somewhat uncontrollable!

The moment this thought occurred to him, Third Elder almost instinctively tried to rely on his own strength to forcibly slow the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer's progression.

Otherwise, if his Clear Sky Hammer as a Soul Douluo truly went out of control...

He did not even dare imagine what would happen next!

However, it was already too late.

At the same time, other Hammer Men within the Clear Sky Array also realized something was wrong. They tried to slow the speed at which they were executing the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, but failed.

An atmosphere of panic gradually spread throughout the Clear Sky Array.

"Calm down!"

At the critical moment, Third Elder still stepped forward.

"We must quickly vent the frenzied power that has become uncontrollable. Otherwise, if anyone's Clear Sky Hammer completely loses control, not only will it endanger the disciples around them, but the Clear Sky Array will collapse without even being attacked!"

"So Spirit Hall had actually been harboring such petty intentions!"

"But Elder, how are we supposed to vent it?"

One disciple desperately asked as he passively swung his Clear Sky Hammer. The hand gripping it was already trembling.

Clearly, he was about to reach his limit!

"Those who can still endure, keep enduring! Those who cannot, temporarily channel your power into me through the Clear Sky Array."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing that, the disciple did not hesitate in the slightest and channeled the force of his Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, stacked over fifty times, into Third Elder.

At the same time, the hand holding Third Elder's Clear Sky Hammer trembled instinctively.

His Clear Sky Hammer had become even more uncontrollable.

But he could still hold on for now. After all, that disciple's Soul Power was far inferior to his. Even with the force of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer stacked on top of it, it would not affect him much.

Just as Third Elder thought this, his hand suddenly trembled again.

Another disciple could not hold on any longer!

If this continued, the small amounts would pile up into a huge problem!

Third Elder was horrified, but then his hand violently trembled yet again.

This time, several disciples in succession lost control and all channeled their power into him!

Fuck!

This old man is about to be finished too!

He hurriedly said, "Anyone else who can't hold on, don't channel your power into me for now. Let the five Soul Saint brothers help share the burden."

However...

Misfortunes never came alone.

"Don't, Elder! I... I was just about to channel my power into you too!"

A Soul Saint-level Hammer Man spoke in a trembling voice.

Third Elder: "..."

Damn it, I'm screwed!

"Sigh."

In the end, Third Elder could only sigh.

"Then all Clear Sky disciples, channel all your power into me. I will vent it directly with Sky-Soaring Strike."

"Yes!"

The Hammer Men grew excited.

It was the first time they had ever been so eager to give up their power.

Before long, the hand Third Elder used to hold the Clear Sky Hammer had begun to shake violently. This was not only because most of the disciples had channeled their power into him, but also because he himself was still passively stacking the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer without pause!

I can't hold on any longer. I have to smash it out quickly!

His bloodshot eyes continuously swept across the area outside the Clear Sky Array as he considered where to strike in order to maximize the gains.

At the very least, he had to make the Angel Legion suffer some losses. For example, he could first hammer that woman called Ling Yuan out of the battle...

By now, how could he not understand the Angel Legion's goal—

Through that strange wind technique from earlier, they had disrupted the rhythm of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer and ultimately forced it toward self-destruction!

How hateful. How shameless!

How had Spirit Hall come up with such a cheap trick...

It truly did not resemble the style of the gentlemanly Qian Daoliu from the past at all.

But the Angel Legion had long since scattered far into the distance. Not only was it difficult to decide where Third Elder's Sky-Soaring Strike should land, it was now a major question whether it could hit anything at all!

Damn it!

Can't you just stick your heads out and let this old man smash them?!

Third Elder cursed inwardly.

Fine...

He should not be so greedy. He would get through this crisis first.

He sighed inwardly in the end.

But just then, another unexpected development arose within the Clear Sky Array...
