Give Little Spider Back to Me First

That was not all. The instant the Soul Power erupted, numerous Clear Sky Sect disciples with considerable Soul Power surrounded the entire residence, sealing it off completely.

Quite a few Clear Sky Sect disciples stood on the rooftops, sneering at Qian Xunling.

Ning Fengzhi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "Your Clear Sky Sect is being utterly overbearing! This is a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect residence. You have no right to surround it."

Tai Tan stepped out onto a rooftop and spotted Qian Xunling at once. If his bloodshot eyes could kill, Qian Xunling would have died tens of thousands of times already. Unfortunately, they could not.

Tai Tan said angrily, "Brat, today is the day you die."

With that, Tai Tan was about to charge down and punch Qian Xunling.

But Tang Xiao stopped him. "Uncle Tai, wait."

Tai Tan gritted his teeth. "Young Sect Master?"

Tang Xiao looked coldly at Qian Xunling. He had not forgotten how Qian Xunling had looked at the Xue Ye ceremony yesterday, so smug and certain of victory. Tonight, he had felt it too. He said, "Well? Did you feel the same way I do yesterday?"

How could Qian Xunling not understand what he meant?

But Qian Xunling smiled and replied, "Not quite. Yesterday, I dared to stand alone and slap your entire Clear Sky Sect in the face, while you only dare hide behind others and hurl insults. There's a fundamental difference. You look more like a jumping clown."

Tang Hao, standing beside Tang Xiao, had wanted to test himself against Qian Xunling since yesterday. Now Qian Xunling had dared to insult his elder brother, touching his reverse scale.

Five Soul Rings-two yellow, two purple, and one black-rose from beneath his feet, and the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in Tang Hao's right hand. He said angrily, "Big brother, watch me teach this fellow who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth a lesson."

"Very well." Tang Xiao nodded.

If Tai Tan attacked, he might actually kill Qian Xunling.

But that might not happen if Tang Hao attacked.

They had come with Tang Chen backing them, but Tang Chen had also decided to see whether Qian Xunling, this genius, could be brought into the Clear Sky Sect.

Although Tang Xiao strongly opposed Qian Xunling joining the Clear Sky Sect, he did not dare disobey Tang Chen's order.

Wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao immediately used his Fifth Soul Skill and charged above Qian Xunling's head with an angry shout.

Ning Fengzhi was terrified and repeatedly tried to speak up and dissuade him.

But then Qian Xunling began to chuckle, his laughter somewhat chilling.

Anyone who saw this would have wondered whether Qian Xunling had gone mad.

But when seven terrifying Soul Rings-six black and one red-slowly emerged from beneath Qian Xunling's feet, everyone's eyes widened, as though the sight before them were an illusion rather than reality.

Only Tang Hao and Ning Fengzhi, however, truly felt Qian Xunling's oppressive presence. Tang Hao, swinging the Clear Sky Hammer, thought of retreating for the first time. He could not handle the man before him.

Qian Xunling raised his head and said coldly, "Scared? Too late."

"Second Soul Skill: Wind's Fallen Slaughter!"

"Third Soul Skill: Ten Thousand Lightning Bolts Return to One!"

Both Soul Skills were unleashed at once.

The formless, colorless Wind Spirits of all things pinned Tang Hao in place, binding him in midair so he could not move. At the same time, countless wind blades struck the immobile living target. In an instant, Tang Hao was slashed by thousands upon thousands of wind blades.

"Ugh... Ah!" The arm holding Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer was severed outright, and his whole body was drenched in blood.

"Brother Hao!" Tang Xiao immediately sensed trouble and rushed forward to save Tang Hao.

But thunder boomed overhead, and lightning as thick as a bucket crackled twice, its light flashing as it struck Tang Hao and Tang Xiao before the sound even had time to travel.

If it hit them, even if they survived, they would be crippled.

"This?" Tang Xiao watched helplessly as the white light of the lightning descended.

He had no strength to resist at all, and there was no way he could escape lightning moving so fast.

"Die." Qian Xunling shouted angrily.

But just then, an even more powerful surge of Soul Power erupted. Two Clear Sky Hammers flew directly above Tang Hao and Tang Xiao. With a thunderous boom, the lightning collided with the Clear Sky Hammers, canceling out the worst of the damage.

The remaining current fell and scorched the residence black.

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao landed at the same time. Tang Xiao panted like an ox, his heart still pounding. Seeing Tang Hao drenched in blood, he hurried over. "Brother Hao, are you all right?"

Qian Xunling was pinned firmly in place by Tang Chen's Level 99 Soul Power.

This power was even more domineering than Qian Daoliu's.

Floating in the air, Tang Chen looked down at Qian Xunling with a grave expression. After a moment of amazement came deep wariness and anger.

The seven Soul Rings beneath Qian Xunling's feet were far too terrifying.

Most importantly, given Qian Xunling's age, his future potential might be even more terrifying than Tang Chen's. If someone like him could not be used by the Clear Sky Sect, he could only be killed.

"Martial Uncle! Sob, sob!" Bibi Dong cried and wiped away her tears, suspended in the air as Tang Chen held her by the back of her neck. Then she looked at Qian Xunling and shouted, "Martial Uncle, run! Don't worry about Dong'er! They've come to kill you, sob, sob."

Qian Xunling frowned and scolded her, "Shut up and stop crying. You're making your martial uncle lose all face."

"Mm-hmm." Bibi Dong covered her mouth and nose, indicating that she had stopped crying.

Enduring the intense pain in his body, Qian Xunling looked at Tang Chen and sneered. "And here you're called one of the Two Peaks, yet you resort to such despicable tricks. What, are you planning to use my martial niece's life to force me to join your Clear Sky Sect?"

At Qian Xunling's attitude, Tang Chen merely narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What of it?"

Hearing that answer, Qian Xunling knew ordinary matters would not stir him in the slightest. Since this fellow was already planning to use violence against him,

he no longer needed to spare him any face either.

But right now, he was at a disadvantage because Little Spider was still in his hands.

He could not fall out with him just yet.

Qian Xunling slowly raised both hands, looked at Tang Chen, and said, "All right, I admit defeat. I'm willing to join the Clear Sky Sect."

"Martial Uncle..." Bibi Dong's tears would not stop flowing. She knew her martial uncle had spatial abilities and could escape at any time, yet he had chosen to stay. It had to be because she had held him back. Bibi Dong sobbed, "I'm sorry, Martial Uncle. I'm sorry."

"Grandfather, this fellow badly injured Brother Hao and even severed one of his arms! He also killed Tai Nuo and smashed our Clear Sky Sect's face to pieces. We can't just let him off like this!" Tang Xiao said, his eyes bloodshot.

Tang Chen glanced at Tang Hao and snorted. "It's only an arm. There will be plenty of chances to heal it later. Your growth has been too smooth in the past. Now that you've suffered a setback, consider it a tempering."

"Grandfather!" Tang Xiao was still unwilling to accept it.

Tang Chen ignored him and looked at Qian Xunling. "Which faction are you from? Even our Clear Sky Sect couldn't produce someone with a Soul Ring Configuration like that."

Tang Chen had ruled out Spirit Hall as well.

Tang Chen did not believe that Qian Daoliu, a man he had defeated, could raise someone who might one day be stronger than Tang Chen himself.

Qian Xunling sneered. "A declining faction, not worth mentioning."

"By the way, how about withdrawing your Soul Power first? I'm having a little trouble taking it." Qian Xunling fought to keep a mouthful of blood down.

Tang Chen sneered and actually withdrew his Soul Power.

Only after the pressure of the Soul Power dissipated could Qian Xunling breathe deeply. After steadying his Soul Power, Qian Xunling looked around. The place was completely surrounded.

Gu Rong stood beside Ning Fengzhi, and Dugu Bo was there too.

But the three of them had been isolated at the farthest point.

With Tang Chen here, they were of no use at all.

Qian Xunling said, "Give my martial niece back to me first."

"Do you think that's possible?" Tang Chen said coldly.

Qian Xunling waved a hand. "Could it be that the great Clear Sky Douluo thinks a mere Soul Saint like me can take the hostage away right under your nose? If word of that got out, wouldn't everyone laugh you to death, Clear Sky Douluo?"
