Before the words had even faded, another group emerged from the dense forest.
They wore ordinary clothes, but the hatred on their faces burned no less fiercely than that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile members.
A Seven-Ring Soul Sage led them, with a young man on either side.
The moment Shui Bing'er of Skywater Academy saw their Martial Souls, she blurted out,
"Yu Tianheng..."
Yes, these were survivors of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. Since the night their clan was wiped out, they had hidden wherever they could, yet Spirit Hall had continued to hunt their people.
Their flight had eventually brought them to Heaven Dou. They had heard plenty and spent a long time watching from the shadows.
But once the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile members stepped forward, the pride in their bones would not let them stand by and watch!
Back then, the Upper Three Sects had spoken endlessly of standing together like branches of one tree. In truth, they had been united in appearance but divided at heart—and this was where it had led them.
Today, they would not repeat that mistake!
"Friends of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, please stand behind us!"
Before the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Soul Sage had finished speaking, the other Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect disciples had already moved in front of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile members.
No one needed to give an order. Every one of them activated a Protective Soul Skill.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile members understood at once. Each sent a ray of supporting light onto the person shielding them.
When great waves washed the sand away, only the steadfast remained. That was true of everyone standing here, whether they belonged to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile members or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Every face was filled with fearlessness and fighting spirit.
Even against three Super Douluo, not one of them took half a step back.
"A swarm of ants! Instead of thinking how to cling to your miserable lives, you insist on playing heroes!" Mighty Lion Douluo roared. "Are you that eager to die?!"
"Why fear death? The Tang Sect remnants have come to lend a hand!"
As the voice rang out, Bai He descended from the sky.
He was the fastest man on the continent and the most skilled at gathering intelligence.
A battle like this could never have escaped his notice.
After much deliberation, the surviving members of the Tang Sect had decided to stand against Qian Renxue too!
If they could tear even a chunk of flesh from those Super Douluo, they would have avenged the three fallen clan leaders!
As Bai He appeared, Soul Masters wielding the Tai Tan Martial Soul and the Soul Breaking Spear Martial Soul surrounded Qian Renxue and her companions.
Some had been away training; others had been conducting business elsewhere.
The moment they heard their clansmen had been slaughtered, they answered Bai He's call and rushed here as fast as they could. At last, they had reached the battlefield.
On this battlefield, setting aside the three Super Douluo,
Spirit Hall was at a disadvantage in both the number and the rank of its Soul Masters.
Mighty Lion Douluo keenly noticed that the Heaven Dou Soul Masters behind him were already thinking of retreat.
"No matter how many ants gather, they're still ants!"
His First Soul Skill lit up, and countless waves of light bore down on Gao Yang's side.
Boom!!
Countless Flying Swords blocked Mighty Lion Douluo's First Soul Skill for the others.
Gao Yang's voice rang out amid the explosions.
"Everyone, give everything you have to kill Qian Renxue!"
The next instant, countless Flying Swords and Golden Threads swept toward Qian Renxue.
"Seventh Brother, protect the young mistress! Sixth Brother, hurry the hell up and finish off that beast!"
Mighty Lion Douluo knew perfectly well that if Qian Renxue died, killing any number of these ants would mean nothing!
Right now, apart from fleeing, only the three Super Douluo could withstand Gao Yang's attacks!
"Yes!"
Demon Subduing Douluo's Soul Rings lit up. His Coiling Dragon Staff shattered the Flying Swords and Golden Threads coming at Qian Renxue, one after another!
With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile members supporting him, Gao Yang seemed to have limitless Soul Power.
Shatter one Flying Sword, and he could summon ten more in the blink of an eye!
At this rate, Qian Renxue was bound to be wounded—or even killed!
"Fourth Brother, this beast is too hard to deal with!"
Qian Jun Douluo's voice came from far away. Alongside the thunder of colliding Soul Power came repeated tiger roars that chilled the blood!
"Damn it!" Mighty Lion Douluo roared. Seeing the others closing in step by step, he made his decision. "I'll hold Gao Yang off. Seventh Brother, deal with this trash first. Don't let them put so much as a scratch on the young mistress!"
With that, Mighty Lion Douluo charged at Gao Yang. As soon as they clashed, Demon Subduing Douluo felt the pressure on him ease.
Truthfully, even without Demon Subduing Douluo, these avengers would have struggled to hurt Qian Renxue.
After all, Qian Renxue possessed a Divine-Level Martial Soul, her Soul Power was above level sixty, and she had several Soul Bones.
Among the avengers, only the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had a Soul Sage. The rest were all below Soul King.
Bai He, who was above level eighty, was an exception, of course.
But Qian Renxue's confidence had been shaken, and she was already showing signs of losing her senses.
Mighty Lion Douluo did not dare take the risk!
"Yes, Fourth Brother!" Demon Subduing Douluo turned to the Soul Master troops behind him. "Anyone who gives their all to help Spirit Hall put down this rebellion will be richly rewarded afterward! As for anyone who flees the battlefield or turns against us—heh. You know what Spirit Hall is capable of!"
Demon Subduing Douluo was an old fox. With a single sentence, he bound the wavering Heaven Dou Soul Masters to Spirit Hall's war chariot.
While the Heaven Dou Soul Masters were still weighing their options, the avengers had already launched an all-out attack on Qian Renxue.
Their goal was clear: anyone who stood in their way would die!
"I'm sorry, Yu Tianheng. I can't bring disaster upon my academy!"
Shui Bing'er of Skywater Academy and several of her fellow students blocked Yu Tianheng's path.
Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin wasted no words on Shui Bing'er and the others. They attacked at once!
As the battle erupted, the Heaven Dou Soul Masters each made their choice.
Some protected Qian Renxue, but far more slipped away in the chaos.
They did not go far, though. Instead, they hid.
They were waiting for the tide of battle to become clear. Whoever won would have their help!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After the Demon Subduing Staff shattered the last Flying Sword aimed at Qian Renxue, Demon Subduing Douluo wiped the sweat from his face.
With Mighty Lion Douluo and Gao Yang locked in the fiercest part of their fight, Gao Yang could no longer spare the attention to send his Flying Swords and Golden Threads after Qian Renxue.
Demon Subduing Douluo, who had been swallowing his anger all this time, spoke coldly.
"Rest assured, young mistress. Once I've wiped out these ants, I'll help Fourth Brother. There have been a few twists today, but victory will belong to Spirit Hall!"
He swung his staff and appeared on the battlefield the next instant.
One sweep of the staff turned two Blue Dot Tyrant Dragon Sect members into a mist of blood.
A Super Douluo facing a group of low-ranked Soul Masters was like a gale tearing through dead leaves!
If he had not needed to keep an eye on Gao Yang's Flying Swords, Demon Subduing Douluo was confident he could end the battle within ten breaths!
But just as he prepared to unleash a slaughter, countless rays of rosy light flared deep within the forest.
"Nine Treasures Turn Into Glazed Glass! First: Strength! Second: Speed! Third: Soul! Fourth: Defense! Fifth: Attack! Sixth: Amplification! Seventh: Nine Treasures True Body!"
The rosy light enveloped Gao Yang, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect members, and the Tang Sect members.
For a moment, Demon Subduing Douluo stood frozen.
"How is that possible? Ning Fengzhi couldn't possibly have enough strength left to use his Martial Soul!"
Qian Renxue looked just as incredulous.
"I am Ning Rongrong, the new sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Today, I will demand justice for my father, for my two grandfathers, for the sect members who died unjustly, and for every Soul Master Spirit Hall has persecuted!"
