The Destruction of the Clear Sky Sect
"Bang!"
Tang Xiao's Soul Power surged, and the lightning that constantly danced on his Clear Sky Hammer and body heightened his fighting spirit to its strongest point ever. He had endured twenty years of seclusion, remaining hidden from the world. People only remembered Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect, rarely mentioning him. But this twenty years of accumulation was now fully revealed. He swung his Clear Sky Hammer, slamming it fiercely against the sword's edge. In just a moment, the collision unleashed a terrifying shockwave. With a "pop," like the sound of shattering glass, cracks appeared in the solid barrier formed by the Frost Radiance of All Things. The barrier, which had previously withstood the combined attacks of the Clear Sky Sect, was now nearly shattered by the aftershocks of their attack.
"Crack!"
Another cracking sound rang out, but this time it came from a giant sword falling from the sky. Cracks, like those of a tortoise shell, stretched from the tip of the sword towards the hilt. Tang Xiao, which gathered the power of all the Titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect in this era, had reached such a terrifying level of power.
"Shui Bing'er!!!"
Huo Wu's bright eyes widened in shock. Seeing that Yu Tianshuang was clearly at a disadvantage in their first clash, she frowned, her fiery red mark on her forehead furrowing, and sternly rebuked Shui Bing'er.
But they were helpless in the face of the current situation. She herself possessed a skill similar to Reality Marble, and she knew that without the caster's permission, it was impossible to enter from the outside. As for breaking it, it might be easier than from the inside, but how could they possibly attack Frost Radiance of All Things's barrier at this moment and distract Yu Tianshuang?
"Shut up! What are you yelling about?!"
Since arriving at this battlefield, Shui Bing'er's mood has experienced several ups and downs in a short period of time. From the initial anxiety to the joy of killing Tang San and his son in one fell swoop, to now having her heart hanging in suspense again, a few drops of blood slowly dripped from her clenched fists without her realizing it.
With a "whoosh," a dark green figure appeared a few meters away from Frost Radiance of All Things. It was Bibi Dong, accompanied by Ye Lingling in white. As soon as Ye Lingling appeared, Bibi Dong channeled her Soul Power and shouted, "Tang Xiao, have you thought this through? If anything happens to Yu Tianshuang, what will become of these Clear Sky Sect disciples outside? Think it over carefully!"
Bibi Dong swore that if Tang Xiao dared to kill Yu Tianshuang, she would make everyone in the Clear Sky Sect pay for it!
She was also getting annoyed. Did this brat really think he was invincible? He'd gotten to this point and still hadn't lifted this damned barrier. Didn't he know that Tang Xiao was definitely not someone a human could defeat? Even in her current state, she couldn't guarantee how long she could last against Tang Xiao.
"Is he stupid? Just open that barrier, go in together, and wipe out all these idiots using those broken hammers, that's all. Why is he throwing around all this pride of genius and manly dignity at a time like this..."
A golden light flashed, and Qian Renxue (?) appeared beside the two women. "Even if he doesn't want to use someone else's help, isn't a battle supposed to be a head-on clash? It's obvious he's in his power spike right now; wouldn't it be better to avoid his sharp edge for now? Why insist on fighting to the death? If it were me, I'd hide and wait until his power spike ends before..."
Before Qian Renxue could finish speaking, Huo Wu stopped her with a Huo Wu that could breathe fire. She could only shrug helplessly. But when she thought of the scene not long ago when this man descended from the Yue Guang, holding her with one arm and strolling leisurely with her through the battlefield, her heart still stirred.
"Hahaha, my Pope, oh no, I should say Her Majesty the Empress now, do you have so little faith in me? Tang Xiao, rest assured, attack without restraint. If you can defeat or kill me in this battle, the Spirit Hall Empire will absolutely not do anything to the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect. My words, Yu Tianshuang's words, carry considerable weight."
"Haha, that's good!"
Regardless of the outcome of this battle, Tang Xiao and the others already understood when they unleashed this secret technique that if they won, their Clear Sky Sect would be destroyed, Bibi Dong and the others would not let them go. If they lost, the same would be true. So why not go all out and kill this biggest enemy besides Bibi Dong, thus winning some light for the future of the Douluo Continent?
With this conviction, Tang Xiao's Soul Power surged forth once more. The growing sense of righteousness in his heart now surpassed even the deep-seated loyalty to his sect. "Yes, to sacrifice oneself for righteousness! Let my Clear Sky Sect strive for a future for the world!"
Looking down from above, Yu Tianshuang was a little puzzled. In those few short seconds, what self-indulgent thought had Tang Xiao come up with? Why was his eye so full of fighting spirit? For a moment, Yu Tianshuang felt as if she were a major villain threatening the world, while Tang Xiao beneath her was truly a hero representing justice...
"Forget it, whatever he's thinking, it really is..."
Shaking her head to clear her mind of these random thoughts, Yu Tianshuang's azure eyes flashed with a sharp light. She dropped her playful expression, and slowly placed the hand that had been behind her back on the sword's edge. With a quick swipe, the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi in her hand burst forth with a dazzling blue light, then swiftly flew into the gradually shattering giant sword and disappeared.
In just a moment, the giant sword, which was on the verge of collapse, was instantly restored to its original state after the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi entered it. The next moment, mysterious runes began to flow across the blade. Tang Xiao, who had been confident of victory, suddenly felt unprecedented pressure. Not only could he not shatter the giant sword above him, but the immense pressure began to push him slowly downwards. Feeling his Soul Power rapidly draining away and the bone-chilling cold emanating from the sword tip, Tang Xiao looked incredulously at Yu Tianshuang behind the giant sword. This young man was truly terrifying; his strength might already be comparable to that of a god.
"Bang bang bang!" With three consecutive crisp sounds, Tang Xiao actually shattered all the Soul Bone on his body. The huge Soul Power brought about by the explosion of the Soul Bone allowed him to hold back his backward figure. At the same time, he twisted his wrist, and the layer of frost that had condensed on the surface of the Clear Sky Hammer was shattered.
"Hoo..." Yu Tianshuang couldn't help but admire Tang Xiao. Such decisiveness completely blocked his escape route. Compared to Bo Saixi on the sea, Tang Xiao was clearly a step ahead, even though it was just Momentary Splendor like a moth drawn to a flame.
"Tang Xiao, although I don't know what you're really holding onto, as your opponent, I now acknowledge you... and for that, I will give you the utmost respect and kill you with a single, all-out attack!"
After speaking, Yu Tianshuang floated lightly to the hilt of the giant sword, slowly raised one hand and placed it on it. At this moment, all the True Essence Power flowing in her body was spurted out and poured into the giant sword. As Yu Tianshuang's True Essence Power was injected, the giant sword, which had been locked in a stalemate with Tang Xiao, immediately began to press down again.
"Divine Power... This brat, I'd completely forgotten about it..." As a level 99 Limit Douluo, Bibi Dong Dong's senses were extremely sharp. That power, which clearly didn't belong to Soul Power, could only be Divine Power at a higher level. Although she didn't know how Yu Tianshuang obtained this Divine Power, because she knew that Yu Tianshuang didn't seem to have undergone God Trial, it still relieved her and put her mind at ease. Even if Tang Xiao was invincible in the human realm, as long as he was still human, he couldn't possibly fight against a god.
"Clap clap..." Seeing the situation turn around, Shui Bing'er loosened her clenched fists, glanced indifferently at her bleeding knuckles, and cursed inwardly, "He doesn't like to use his brain now, but that doesn't mean he's stupid, okay? How can you have this kind of mentality, Shui Bing'er!"
"Yay! I knew that lecherous guy was too smart to do anything like that, haha, really, he made me worry for nothing..."
Without making a sound, Shui Bing'er Huo Wu at Huo Wu, whose expression was changing like a mask, and then naturally put her fists behind her back to freeze the skin where her nails had pierced, so that the silly girl wouldn't notice anything.
"It's over... The Clear Sky Sect is finished, and the world is finished... Besides us... who in this mortal realm can stop him... It's laughable that I am invincible in the mortal realm now, but before Divine Power, I am still an ant... No wonder even the grandfather of the current number one person on the continent has been pursuing the path to godhood. The difference between humans and gods is truly like heaven and earth..."
At this moment, Tang Xiao had lost all fighting spirit. Faced with True Essence Power, a power that surpassed the absolute quality of Soul Power, he felt nothing but powerlessness.
"Boom!"
"Annihilate... Tremble before this absolute power..."
Propelled by Yu Tianshuang, the giant sword finally landed on the ground, unleashing a tremendous burst of force that swept across a radius of a thousand meters. Even the barrier of Frost Radiance of All Things shattered instantly under the impact of this blue force. When the cold mist dissipated, all that remained was a world constructed of ice.
"Tianshuang!!!"
A beam of emerald light enveloped his head the moment the barrier shattered, and the warmth brought by that life force made him look tenderly at Ye Lingling, who was flying towards him anxiously.
"Alright, alright... I'm fine, just a bit exhausted. I don't have any injuries at all. Oh dear, what are you doing, Lengleng? Isn't your Eighth Soul Skill a bit excessive..."
Although somewhat helpless, Yu Tianshuang felt a warm glow in his heart as he looked at the gentle woman who kept casting healing Soul Skill on him. The warmth welling up from the bottom of his heart made him both amused and exasperated, but he still hugged her tightly. "Alright, alright, it's really nothing, don't worry. I said that as your sword, I will forever protect my flower..."
"Um..."
This was a vow the man before him had made to him nearly ten years ago, back in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...
"Shui Bing'er, why did you hit me?!" Huo Wu was excitedly about to fly over, suddenly felt a pain on her head. She looked at Shui Bing'er with some confusion and said with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
Shaking his head helplessly, "Use your brain for once! Would you be worried to death if you were even a little later... Don't you even consider the atmosphere..."
Although Shui Bing'er felt a little bitter, she had already made her choice. Sigh... what could she do? This person was both annoying and lovable...
