Attack and Defense Reversed, a Level 95 Titled Douluo!!

Tang Li stepped forward.

The Clear Sky Hammer traced a heavy arc through the air.

"Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer!"

A hammer strike fell.

Tang Chen's second Soul Ring lit up beneath his feet.

The crystal atop the Destruction Scepter released a vast purple-black radiance.

The light gathered in midair, forming a black sphere.

The sphere was only the size of a fist.

Yet the moment it appeared, the surrounding light contracted toward its center.

Fragments of stone from the courtyard walls flew near the sphere and immediately turned to dust.

Tang Chen raised his hand and pushed forward.

"Second Soul Skill."

"Myriad Annihilation Return to Void."

The black sphere flew forward.

It was not fast.

Yet the Clear Sky Hammer visibly stalled the instant it approached the sphere.

The black sphere touched the hammerhead.

There was no violent collision.

A ring of black ripples appeared across the sphere's surface.

The Soul Power within the Clear Sky Hammer began to be devoured.

The lightning patterns on the hammerhead gradually dimmed.

Then cracks spread all the way from the hammerhead to the handle.

Tang Li's expression changed drastically.

He hurriedly activated his Soul Power, trying to retrieve the Clear Sky Hammer.

But Myriad Annihilation Return to Void had already enveloped the massive hammer.

Large swathes of black light spread along the hammer's body.

The phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer rapidly shrank.

The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer was forcibly interrupted.

Tang Li's body trembled, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

He released his grip.

The Clear Sky Hammer completely collapsed within the black sphere.

Tang Li staggered back more than ten steps before barely steadying himself.

He looked at the vanished Clear Sky Hammer, then shifted his gaze to Tang Chen.

"What Soul Skill is that?"

"Why can it devour Soul Power?"

Tang Chen did not answer.

After destroying the Clear Sky Hammer, the black sphere returned to his palm.

It then turned into specks of light and dissipated.

Tang Li stood where he was.

His breathing became hurried.

Having his Soul Skills destroyed twice in succession made him clearly realize that Tang Chen was no ordinary Soul Elder.

Three Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.

Twin god-grade Martial Souls.

And that terrifying attack capable of breaking down Soul Power.

Tang Li had never seen a Soul Master like this.

Nor had he expected Tang Chen, whom the sect had hunted for over two years, to have grown to such a level.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Wasn't your Innate Soul Power only level two?"

Tang Chen gripped the Destruction Scepter.

"The person with only level-two Innate Soul Power is the one the Clear Sky Sect believed me to be."

"As for my true cultivation, haven't you already seen it?"

Tang Li's expression kept changing.

Tang Chen took a step forward.

"Continue."

Tang Li did not respond.

His hand tightly gripped the Clear Sky Hammer.

Seven Soul Rings appeared beneath his feet once more.

The fourth Soul Ring suddenly lit up.

Dense black light emerged across the surface of the Clear Sky Hammer.

This time, the black light did not form a hammer phantom.

Instead, it transformed in midair into an enormous black battle axe.

Its blade was broad.

Its edges were wrapped in dense Soul Power.

The mere aura it emitted caused the ground in the courtyard to crack continuously.

Tang Li pushed both hands forward.

The massive axe slashed down with overwhelming pressure.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Clear Sky Earth-Splitting Axe!"

Tang Chen glanced up.

"Still not enough."

The three Soul Rings beneath his feet rose at the same time.

The first black Soul Ring released Destruction Force.

The second black Soul Ring released Devouring Force.

The two powers intertwined before him.

The crystal atop the Destruction Scepter flickered violently.

A deeper black sphere than before condensed into shape.

Its size had not increased.

Yet the power contained within had multiplied several times over.

Tang Chen extended his hand.

"Myriad Annihilation Return to Void."

The black sphere collided with the massive axe in midair.

The axe's descending trajectory was covered by black light.

The Soul Power on its blade continuously vanished.

At first, only gaps appeared along its edges.

Then the entire axe began to shrink.

Tang Li poured all his Soul Power into it.

Black Soul Power surged into the sky.

Yet no matter how he drove it, the massive axe still could not break through the black sphere.

Myriad Annihilation Return to Void continued devouring it.

The axe's power gradually weakened.

In the end, the entire massive axe turned into scattered black fragments of light.

Tang Chen waved his hand.

The remaining black radiance dispersed from the air.

The courtyard fell silent once more.

Tang Li stood where he was.

His Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul trembled continuously.

The two successive attacks had also consumed more than half the Soul Power within his body.

"That's impossible."

He stared at Tang Chen.

"I'm a Soul Saint."

"You only have three Soul Rings."

"Why can your power suppress mine?"

"Why can your Soul Skills destroy my attacks one after another?"

Tang Chen said calmly:

"The number of Soul Rings has never determined all of one's combat strength."

"Martial Souls, Soul Rings, Soul Skills, physical strength."

"Any difference in any one of them can change the outcome of battle."

Tang Li's expression darkened.

He knew very well that Tang Chen was not speaking empty words.

Every one of the other party's Soul Rings came from high-age Soul Beasts.

The Soul Power provided by three Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings far surpassed that of ordinary Soul Masters.

More importantly, those two Soul Skills were far too unusual.

Destruction Judgment could directly break down Soul Power.

Myriad Annihilation Return to Void could devour all power.

Though his Clear Sky Hammer was powerful, it had never been able to display its true might.

Tang Li glanced up at Tang Yuan.

The old man had not made a move from beginning to end.

Yet his expression was exceptionally relaxed.

This gave Tang Li a bad premonition.

If Tang Yuan's cultivation had recovered, then today's situation would be even more dangerous.

Tang Li put away the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Tang Chen, stop."

Tang Chen did not stop walking.

"Are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid."

Tang Li suppressed the emotions in his heart.

"You have already proven your strength."

"The sect is willing to accept you again."

Tang Chen stopped several meters away from him.

"Accept me again?"

"The Clear Sky Sect drove my grandfather and me from the sect back then, then sent people to hunt us down."

"Now that you have seen my strength, you want me to return?"

Tang Li fell silent for a moment.

"The sect can compensate you."

"The Seventh Elder's decision back then was not the Sect Master's intention either."

"As long as you are willing to return to the Clear Sky Sect, the sect will give you the best cultivation resources."

Tang Chen looked at him.

"Tang Ming acted under the Seventh Elder's orders back then as well."

"I killed him."

"Afterward, the sect sent you to hunt us down."

"Now that you have discovered you are no match for me, you want a few words to make everything pass?"

Tang Li clenched his fists.

"Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Sect is still your sect."

"Your parents were once disciples of the sect as well."

"As long as you return, everything that happened in the past can be put behind us."

"I won't return."

Tang Chen's tone remained calm.

"My parents died for the Clear Sky Sect."

"My grandfather suffered countless injuries for the Clear Sky Sect."

"But the sect's response to us was expulsion and pursuit."

"From the moment you sent people after us, I no longer had any connection to the Clear Sky Sect."

Tang Li's face darkened.

"Are you really unwilling to return?"

"No."

"Then don't even think about leaving here alive today."

Tang Li summoned the Clear Sky Hammer again.

But just as he was about to activate his Soul Power, Tang Chen turned to look at Tang Yuan.

"Grandfather."

"Kill him."

Tang Yuan nodded.

"Alright."

The old man set his wooden staff aside.

The next moment.

Level ninety-five Soul Power erupted from his body.

Boom!

The entire courtyard shook at that instant.

The cracks in the walls rapidly widened.

The bluestone slabs in the training ground shattered one after another.

The surrounding trees bent outward, their branches and leaves raining down.

Nine Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.

When the final red Soul Ring appeared, an immense pressure blanketed the entire courtyard.

Tang Li's body stiffened in place.

As he stared at the nine Soul Rings around Tang Yuan, his face instantly turned pale.

"Nine Soul Rings?"

"Level ninety-five?"
