"Qin Xiao, get out here and die!"
Tang Hao's voice carried soul power, spreading far into the distance.
Never mind Shrek Academy.
Even Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, in the town far beyond Shrek, could hear him clearly.
"As expected of the Clear Sky Sect. They really are overbearing."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a light chuckle beside Sword Douluo.
"Sect Master, shall we head over now?" Sword Douluo asked gravely.
Ning Fengzhi nodded. "Yes."
"Who's that? So arrogant! How dare he be so disrespectful!"
"Damn it, is His Holiness's name something you can just shout? Once I find you, I'll make you rethink your choice of words!"
Zhao Wuji arrived at the academy's square, cursing all the way.
However...
The moment he saw the two men hovering in midair, he froze.
They were hovering in the sky!
Fuck, two Titled Douluos?
On closer inspection, wasn't one of them Tang Hao?
The middle-aged man beside him bore a fifty- or sixty-percent resemblance to him, making his identity all but obvious.
He was undoubtedly Tang Xiao, the other half of their family's pair of Douluos!
Beat the young, and the old come running. The Clear Sky Sect and its subordinate sects all reek of the same bullshit.
Zhao Wuji snorted inwardly in disdain.
"Sect Master Tang, your visit truly brings luster to our humble Shrek."
Just then, Flender appeared with the other teachers and cupped his fists slightly toward Tang Xiao.
"Flender?"
Tang Xiao frowned. "After all these years, you're still only a Soul Saint?"
Uh...
When striking someone, spare the face; when cursing someone, spare their sore spots.
Flender felt that Tang Xiao was mocking him.
"So noisy. A dog started barking first thing in the morning and disturbed my sweet dreams."
Suddenly, Qin Xiao's voice came from within the academy.
The next moment, a flash of lightning flickered before everyone's eyes, and Qin Xiao appeared above the square, hovering in the air.
He was even...
Higher than Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, looking down upon the two brothers from above.
"Heh. So the drenched dog has come back."
He looked at Tang Hao with a cold smile.
"Hahaha, 'drenched dog' really is a fitting name..."
Zhao Wuji could not hold back and burst out laughing.
However, under Flender's reproachful gaze, he hurriedly swallowed his laughter.
"Brat, don't get too arrogant. This time, I'll destroy you!"
Tang Hao's face turned livid.
"You're the one who injured my younger brother?"
"To become a Titled Douluo so young, and possess such strength... no wonder you're so arrogant and overbearing. You have the right to be."
Tang Xiao tilted his head up slightly to look at Qin Xiao. His assessment of Qin Xiao came down to one word: wild!
Two words: utterly arrogant!
Four words: no regard for anyone!
But soon, he shook his head. "With your strength, you could practically walk sideways across the Douluo Continent, throwing your weight around wherever you pleased. Yet you chose the wrong path. You provoked a member of the Clear Sky Sect, someone you cannot afford to provoke. You will pay for that with your life!"
The moment Tang Xiao saw Qin Xiao, he had made up his mind.
Qin Xiao must die!
"Hahaha."
Qin Xiao laughed. "So, you're planning to fight me two against one today?"
"We're not using numbers to bully you. Rather..."
Tang Xiao tried to find a high-sounding justification, but Qin Xiao interrupted him before he could finish.
"So it's still two against one, right?"
"Well..."
Tang Xiao opened his mouth, utterly at a loss for words.
Tang Hao flew into a rage. "Big Brother, stop wasting words on him. Crush him first! History is written by the victors!"
"When the time comes, who will dare dispute whatever we say?"
He believed that as long as they killed Qin Xiao, everything would be worth it!
"Hahaha, excellent! Truly worthy of the matchlessly overbearing Clear Sky Sect!"
"What you've said today has certainly broadened my horizons!"
Suddenly, laughter rang out across the square.
"Who's there?"
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao both froze, turning to look almost simultaneously.
They saw Sword Douluo, his hair and beard snowy white, approaching from afar alongside the poised Ning Fengzhi.
"Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
"And Senior Chen Xin?"
Tang Xiao's pupils abruptly contracted, and he spoke in disbelief.
"Greetings, Sect Master Tang."
Ning Fengzhi cupped his fists toward the somewhat dumbfounded Tang Xiao. "It's been decades, yet your bearing remains as impressive as ever, Sect Master Tang."
As impressive as ever?
Tang Xiao's expression became a little awkward upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words.
He glanced at Tang Hao, unable to shake the feeling that Ning Fengzhi was mocking them...
The Clear Sky Sect had once cared deeply about its dignity. Though its elders would come running after the youngsters were beaten, it would never gang up on someone...
Today, they had utterly disgraced the Clear Sky Sect...
Tang Xiao thought with some shame.
"Big Brother, stop hesitating. Let's eliminate the threat that Qin Xiao poses first."
"The Clear Sky Sect has already sealed its gates and cut itself off from the world anyway. Why care what others say?"
Seeing that Tang Xiao seemed to be wavering, Tang Hao hurriedly spoke up.
Once you're covered in lice, you no longer fear their bites, is that it?
Tang Xiao thought helplessly, instantly grasping the deeper meaning behind Tang Hao's words.
Still, crude though Tang Hao's words were, the reasoning was sound.
At that moment, he too made up his mind. Do it!
Whatever others might say in the future, they would kill Qin Xiao and eliminate this threat first.
"Sect Master Ning, I have pressing matters to attend to. Let us catch up afterward."
As Tang Xiao spoke, he turned his gaze back to Qin Xiao.
At this point...
Everyone knew that Tang Xiao had cast aside all shame.
The two brothers were about to join forces against Qin Xiao...
"Sect Master..."
Just then, Sword Douluo looked at Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, signaling that Sword Douluo could act.
Immediately, Sword Douluo stopped holding back. He stepped forward, about to summon his Seven Kill Sword and soul rings to help Qin Xiao fight the two men from the Clear Sky Sect.
However, at that moment, a voice rang out in their minds.
"Sect Master Ning, Senior Sword Douluo, I appreciate your kindness. But I can still handle this little situation myself."
It was Qin Xiao!
Both Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi recognized Qin Xiao's voice.
"You lightning-struck brat, don't try to act tough. Without my help, you won't be able to handle this today."
"Don't be fooled by Tang Xiao's cultivation being only rank ninety-five. With the Clear Sky Hammer and the Clear Sky Sect's secret arts, his fighting strength reaches rank ninety-seven, enough to rival yours. And there's Tang Hao watching like a tiger, ready to strike. How are you going to deal with that?"
Sword Douluo transmitted his voice irritably.
He admitted that Qin Xiao was strong.
But he believed that Tang Xiao and Tang Hao joining forces would definitely be more than Qin Xiao could handle.
"Then please stand by for me, Senior, Sect Master Ning. If I truly prove no match for them, it won't be too late for you to help."
"No matter how today's affair ends, I, Qin Xiao, will owe you both a favor."
Qin Xiao once again transmitted his voice to Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi.
He could tell that Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo had their own reasons for helping him.
However, whatever their motives, their willingness to stand against the world's foremost sect, the Clear Sky Sect, for his sake still moved Qin Xiao somewhat.
In other words, if Qin Xiao had not absorbed the Titan Giant Ape's soul ring or comprehended the Thunder Emperor Finger, he really would have needed Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi's help to defeat Tang Hao and Tang Xiao today.
"Sect Master..."
Sword Douluo looked at Ning Fengzhi again.
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, his meaning clear.
Young men were hot-blooded.
Let Qin Xiao try first. If he could not hold out, they would step in.
