The Four Clans Are Wiped Out

The world of Blue Star!

Xiao Ran and Qian Renxue were still aboard a plane bound for the Capital.

Douluo Continent!

The Heaven Dou Empire's defenses were practically a crumbling house, allowing Qian Daoliu to come and go as he pleased.

Leading 10,000 elite Soul Masters, he had stormed all the way to Heaven Dou City before anyone could react.

Back when Bibi Dong organized the Soul Hunting Operation, she had slipped into the Heaven Dou Empire just as easily and unleashed destruction upon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Sword of Judgment!"

"First Soul Skill, Angel Wheel Slash!"

Qian Daoliu breached the city with a single sword strike. The hundred-meter blade of sword energy blasted one of Heaven Dou City's gates into rubble.

"Men, follow me in! Seize every street and alley in Heaven Dou City and surround the imperial palace!"

"After today, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family will cease to exist!"

Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, Lion, Guang Ling, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo formed the spearhead. Nothing could withstand them wherever they went.

Amid waves of battle cries, the 100,000 soldiers defending Heaven Dou City were routed by these 10,000 elite Soul Masters.

"Hide, quickly! Spirit Hall is attacking!"

Throughout the city, the residents barred their doors and huddled in corners, trembling.

Even the households of dukes, marquises, and earls dared not show themselves when they saw the flames of war engulfing the city. They could only gather their household soldiers and retainers to guard their homes.

In one of the streets!

Qian Daoliu spotted an imposing estate with a gilded plaque hanging above its entrance. The plaque bore the words "Tang Sect."

"Hmph! So this is the sect Tang San founded. An outer disciple of the Tang Sect who stole cultivation methods reserved for inner disciples came to our Douluo Continent and actually thought he could establish another Tang Sect!"

"Golden Crocodile, I leave this to you. Storm the Tang Sect and leave no survivors. We cannot leave this malignant tumor to future generations."

Golden light shimmered all over Golden Crocodile as he declared in a deep voice:

"Great Enshrined, leave it to me!"

"Third Soul Skill, Death Spiral!"

Golden Crocodile's scales bristled upright, blazing with golden light. Radiating ferocious might, he rolled forward.

With a thunderous boom, he smashed a gaping hole through the Tang Sect's gates.

Beyond that hole, there was none of the panic Golden Crocodile had expected. Roughly a thousand Soul Masters had assembled in orderly ranks.

The Defense Clan's plate-armored giant rhino Soul Masters stood at the front, followed by the Strength Clan's Great Strength Gorilla Soul Masters. Behind them were the Breaking Clan's Soul Breaking Spear Soul Masters, with the Speed Clan's Sharp-Tailed Swift Soul Masters at the rear.

Niu Gao, Tai Tan, Yang Wudi, and Bai He stood before all the other Soul Masters. Their eyes seemed ready to spit fire, burning with shared hatred for their enemy.

Tai Tan clenched his fists and knocked them together. His eyes bulged like those of a wrathful guardian deity as he roared:

"Brothers, the Tang Sect has reached its darkest hour! Spirit Hall's lapdogs have come knocking at our gates. Twenty years ago, we ran, but this time we won't! We'll fight him to the death!"

"Golden Crocodile, we are your opponents today! Let us Four Single-Attribute Clans test the strength of a Peak Douluo!"

Niu Gao charged out first, his expression resolute, carrying the determination of a man who had smashed his cauldrons and sunk his boats.

"I'll hold him back. Look for your own chances to counterattack!"

"Seventh Soul Skill, Giant Rhino True Body!"

"Eighth Soul Skill, Unbreakable Defense!"

With an enraged roar, a five-meter-long plate-armored giant rhino appeared within the Tang Sect. A thick layer of horny armor encased its body, rippling with bluish-gray energy.

As a Soul Master devoted purely to defense, Niu Gao was confident that even a Titled Douluo could never break through his defenses. They were the very foundation of his survival.

Golden Crocodile gave Niu Gao all the respect he could ask for. Terrifying Soul Power erupted as his Seventh Soul Ring and Eighth Soul Ring lit up simultaneously.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Golden Crocodile True Body!"

"Eighth Soul Skill, Golden Giant Strength Breaker!"

Golden Crocodile let out a series of roars and transformed amid the golden light into a seventy-meter-long golden giant crocodile.

The plate-armored giant rhino Niu Gao had become was only as large as one of the golden giant crocodile's claws.

The golden giant crocodile slammed a claw down. Power capable of toppling mountains and overturning seas erupted, tearing apart the plate-armored giant rhino's bones and sinews and crushing half its body. Like an enormous sandbag, it flew backward helplessly.

Disbelief still lingered in Niu Gao's eyes as he vomited mouthful after mouthful of blood.

"Pfft!"

"So this is a level ninety-eight Peak Douluo..."

Tai Tan's and Yang Wudi's eyes instantly reddened. They howled, "Old Niu!"

"Seventh Soul Skill, Great Strength True Body!"

"Eighth Soul Skill, Thousand-Jun Strike!"

"Seventh Soul Skill, Soul Breaking True Body!"

"Eighth Soul Skill, Annihilation Formula!"

Tai Tan and Yang Wudi closed in from the left and right, radiating a resolve to fight to the death. They were Soul Masters who had pushed the attributes of strength and attack to their absolute limits.

An ordinary Titled Douluo facing their combined assault would have ended up gravely injured.

Golden Crocodile burst into unrestrained laughter:

"Hahaha! It really has been too long since I last appeared. Now every stray cat and dog dares to challenge me!"

"Golden Giant Strength Breaker, shatter them!"

The golden giant crocodile crushed forward like a mountain. With a crack, Tai Tan was sent flying, his bones and sinews shattered. Another crack followed as the Soul Breaking Spear bent ninety degrees before snapping under the unbearable strain.

Niu Gao, Tai Tan, and Yang Wudi had failed to delay Golden Crocodile for even a moment. As for Bai He, the most useless of them all, he was a pure speed-type Soul Master. Trembling all over, he had retreated into the distance and fired bolt after bolt from his Godly Zhuge Crossbow, but they merely scratched Golden Crocodile's itch.

He shouted in a quavering voice:

"Everyone from the Four Single-Attribute Clans, charge together! Fight him to the death!"

Faced with the attacks of over a thousand Soul Masters.

The golden giant crocodile laughed uproariously as he rolled forward, curling his body into a ring. Thick scales covered his back, keeping his vulnerable belly well protected.

Every attack landed on the golden giant crocodile's back. Beyond a chorus of clanging sounds and showers of sparks, none could inflict any damage on Golden Crocodile.

"Aaah..."

"Save me! I don't want to die!"

"Aah, it hurts!"

"..."

Wherever the golden giant crocodile rolled, Soul Masters of the Four Single-Attribute Clans were killed or wounded. Their formation broke in an instant, with vast numbers already dead or injured.

The Spirit Hall Soul Masters following behind the golden giant crocodile cast fervent looks at him, filled with reverence and fear, before beginning to slaughter the surviving Soul Masters of the Four Single-Attribute Clans.

Bai He's mouth fell open, his heart nearly stopping. Watching one tragedy unfold after another, he let out a heart-rending scream.

"Aaah... stop killing them! Stop killing them!!"

Bai He regretted it. He should never have let Tang San and Tai Tan talk him into joining this Tang Sect.

His Speed Clan had been poor before, but most of its members had still been alive and well.

Now, all his clansmen were being buried in one fell swoop.

Their Speed Clan was finished!

The Strength Clan, the Defense Clan, and the Breaking Clan were all finished!

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Abandoning his advantage in speed, Bai He charged at the golden giant crocodile with his Godly Zhuge Crossbow in hand, bloody tears streaming from his eyes.

With a crack, the golden giant crocodile slapped Bai He into a pulp.

Immediately afterward!

Blood and fire filled Niu Gao's vision. He wept like a child. "Aaah... I am a sinner against the Defense Clan! If I had known it would come to this, we would have been better off joining the Elephant Armor Sect!"

With a crack, the golden giant crocodile stomped Niu Gao to death.

Tai Tan still struggled to rise from the ground, thrusting out his blood-drenched chest.

"When our sect master returns, he will avenge us! Long live the Tang Sect! Long live the sect master!?"

This old dog's loyalty truly was extraordinary!

With a crack, the golden giant crocodile's claw smashed Tai Tan into pieces as well.

Yang Wudi's eyes were filled with longing. His hand rested on his Storage Soul Tool, which still held a stalk of aromatic silk beauty.

"What a pity... I never managed to develop the ultimate poison. I can't accept this..."

Two jets of white vapor burst from the golden giant crocodile's nostrils. He swept his tail across, cleaving Yang Wudi in two at the waist with a single blow.

The Four Single-Attribute Clans... were annihilated!
