"Who dares trespass into my Clear Sky Sect?!"
The outer disciples of the Clear Sky Sect quickly spotted Xiong Jun, but before they could make out his appearance, their vision went dark and they fell unconscious.
"Hehe, I, Xiong Jun, know just how hard to hit. That last blow only knocked these humans out—it didn't kill them."
"The method our lord used, hanging them from the city gates and letting them bleed out, is truly wonderful!"
Xiong Jun let out an excited roar. Yet because of that enthusiastic shout, he failed to hold back his strength and directly roared several Clear Sky Sect disciples to death, sending them off to enjoy themselves early.
At the same time, the aura Xiong Jun released was detected by the elders of the Clear Sky Sect.
Several streaks of light tore through the sky and arrived before Xiong Jun in the blink of an eye.
"Beast, how dare you harm the disciples of my Clear Sky Sect!"
A bearded Titled Douluo elder of the Clear Sky Sect saw the adorable, kind-hearted disciples of his sect being effortlessly crushed by Xiong Jun. His eyes immediately turned bloodshot, and he panted like a bull.
At the same time, nine optimal soul rings slowly appeared beneath his feet, while a huge pitch-black iron hammer materialized in his hand.
"Beast, take your life!"
"Third Brother, come back!" The Clear Sky Sect's First Elder, his beard snow-white, called out in a hoarse voice.
No, he should now be called the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect. After all, following Tang Xiao and the previous Sect Master's deaths from rage, he had leaped from the position of First Elder to Sect Master.
But even though he had shouted quickly enough, it was already too late. That Clear Sky Sect elder had raised the Clear Sky Hammer and charged straight at Xiong Jun.
The next moment, a thunderous explosion rang out, accompanied by a blinding flash that forced several Clear Sky Sect elders present to shut their eyes.
Within the white light, the Clear Sky Sect's Titled Douluo could only hear a crisp sound. After that, it was as though they had lost all sensation—they could neither see nor hear.
After a while, once everything returned to normal, they hurriedly looked toward where Xiong Jun had been.
They saw Xiong Jun holding the elder from before in his hand. The Clear Sky Sect elder was covered in blood, still clutching a hammer handle, while the nine soul rings beneath his feet dissolved into specks of starlight.
"Pah! What a piece of trash. He couldn't even withstand a single blow from me. If I hadn't pulled back at the last moment, I'd have truly sent you off to enjoy yourself early!"
Xiong Jun spat. He had not killed the Clear Sky Sect elder, merely crippled him.
Seeing their Third Elder, who had lived alongside them for years, casually crippled by Xiong Jun and then openly scorned, the Clear Sky Sect elders were instantly enraged.
Tang Syndrome flared up in every one of them. Their eyes turned bloodshot, and they panted like bulls.
"Beast, I'll make you pay for Third Brother's life!"
"Everyone, this beast clearly has no intention of sparing us. Let's attack together! Even if we are no match for him, we must still display the spirit of the number one sect under heaven!"
The old man who had risen from First Elder to Sect Master was the first to declare his stance. Raising his pitch-black iron hammer, he charged toward Xiong Jun.
The other Clear Sky Sect elders exchanged glances and saw resolve in one another's eyes.
"Sect Master, we old brothers will accompany you!"
Boom!
The auras around them suddenly changed. They too raised pitch-black iron hammers and followed their Sect Master toward Xiong Jun.
"Beast!"
"Today, you destroy my Clear Sky Sect. One day, when the strongest Sect Master of our Clear Sky Sect, Sect Master Tang Chen, returns, he will surely avenge us personally and slaughter every soul beast related to you by blood!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After several explosions, the Clear Sky Sect elders who had just been brimming with murderous momentum were all caught in Xiong Jun's hands, each with only faint breaths remaining.
"It's over. My Clear Sky Sect is finished!"
"No, I don't want to die! Don't kill me!"
With their strongest fighting force defeated, the Clear Sky Sect disciples were plunged into utter despair. Some charged toward Xiong Jun at all costs for the honor of the Clear Sky Sect.
Others used fellow disciples as shields and desperately fled toward the outside world.
But before Xiong Jun, all of it was meaningless. Not a single one who needed to be captured was missed.
In only a short while, Xiong Jun used Soul Power to drag the still-breathing Clear Sky Sect disciples back to Di Tian's side.
"Idiot, you actually slipped up and killed more than a dozen humans!" Di Tian looked at Xiong Jun in displeasure.
That fellow had no sense of restraint. How could he send those dozen humans off to enjoy themselves early?
"Di Tian, I'm in a good mood today, so I don't feel like fighting you. Hurry up and go to that Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Other than members of the Clear Sky Sect, no one else lived where the Clear Sky Sect was located. Therefore, no one saw Xiong Jun easily destroy the Clear Sky Sect.
But the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was different. Some independent soul masters lived around it.
Thus, after Di Tian destroyed the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with a single palm strike and captured everyone in the clan, the news spread instantly.
In Spirit City, while Qian Daoliu and the others were still discussing how to defend against the soul beasts, a panicked voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Great Worshipper!"
"Something terrible has happened! On the city gates..."
"The city gates have been covered with people by someone unknown. Some of them are wearing Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan uniforms, while the uniforms of the others are unfamiliar to this subordinate!"
"But they're all still alive. For some reason, they're bleeding profusely. This subordinate tried to bring them down, but no matter what we do, we can't get close!"
The guard's panicked report caused the Worship Hall's worshippers to rush out of the hall and fly toward the city gates.
When they arrived at the gates, the sight before them made even these worshippers, who killed without batting an eye, widen their eyes.
Before them, disciples of the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been hung one by one from the city gates. When there was no more room on the gates, they were hung along the walls on either side.
The ground below, once brown, had now turned dark red.
The stench of blood in the air was enough to make one retch.
At the same time, the Clear Sky Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disciples would occasionally let out agonized screams.
As some of those cries gradually weakened, they slowly lost their breath as well.
Qian Daoliu's hands trembled slightly. Even he had never witnessed such a cruel scene.
When he tried to approach, however, his body was suddenly thrown back by an extremely dark force.
"Big Brother." Seeing Qian Daoliu sent flying, the worshippers hurried forward.
"I'm fine." Qian Daoliu waved his hand, indicating that he was unharmed.
"Judging by the uniforms these soul masters are wearing, they are members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Clear Sky Sect."
Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, the worshippers raised their heads to look again.
Naturally, they knew these people were disciples of the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. After all, they were very familiar with Yu Yuanzhen among them, and they could recognize the Clear Sky Sect disciples' clothing as well.
"Who could have destroyed both the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan at the same time?!"
Golden Crocodile's eyes trembled slightly, and his voice shook without pause.
"Soul beasts. The only ones capable of doing all this are soul beasts."
Qian Daoliu's tone was incomparably grave. Based on the strength the soul beasts had displayed so far, he could only believe that the ones capable of destroying both the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan at the same time were the soul beasts.
