Chapter 52: Shameless Clear Sky Sect, Qian Xunji's Fury
Tang Hao, whose body had already suffered heavy injuries, felt a surge of fury erupt within him upon hearing those words. Yet, he was powerless to do anything, and in the end, he spat out another large mouthful of blood.
The blood he spat earlier was from being beaten by Yun Yuan. This time, it was from being angered by Yun Yuan.
How dare this brat humiliate him like this!
At this moment, the way Tang Hao looked at Yun Yuan was filled with extreme hatred, as if Yun Yuan had become his mortal enemy.
"Hao'er!"
On the Clear Sky Sect's stand, Tang Xiao saw that his younger brother had not only suffered severe physical injuries but had even been angered to the point of vomiting blood. He immediately disregarded all rules of the soul fighting arena.
Leaping from the stand, he summoned his martial soul midair. A massive pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand.
Tang Xiao's gaze locked onto Yun Yuan as he charged straight toward him, his Clear Sky Hammer aimed directly at Yun Yuan, intending to teach him a lesson. Injuring his younger brother, Tang Xiao could endure, but striking at Tang Hao's spirit—he absolutely could not tolerate it.
Seeing this, beside the arena, Bibi Dong quickly tugged at Qian Xunji's sleeve.
"Teacher, those brutes from the Clear Sky Sect are ignoring all rules and acting shamelessly. Please make a move and teach them a lesson."
"Junior Brother is still in the arena. If anything happens, it will be bad."
Hearing this, Qian Xunji was naturally displeased with the Clear Sky Sect. His soul power surged as a golden giant hand formed and grasped toward Tang Xiao, intent on teaching him a lesson.
But at that very moment—
On the Clear Sky Sect's stand, the Great Elder also made his move. His soul power surged, and the aura of a Titled Douluo was fully revealed. A blue giant hand swept toward Qian Xunji.
"Pope Qian, your Spirit Hall junior, intends to shatter the Dao heart of my Clear Sky Sect's genius. Would it be unreasonable for our sect to give your junior a bit of a lesson?"
Seeing the Great Elder blocking him, Qian Xunji gave a look to Yue Guan and Gui Mei beside him.
Understanding immediately, Yue Guan and Gui Mei dashed toward the arena to stop Tang Xiao's attack on Yun Yuan.
However, on the Clear Sky Sect's side, two more members stepped forward, intercepting Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
Since the Great Elder had already acted, they only needed to hold back Yue Guan and Gui Mei. Tang Xiao only needed to land a single strike.
They had absolute confidence in Tang Xiao. His soul power had already reached the level of a Soul King; he was proficient in the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate techniques, and his strength far surpassed that of Tang Hao.
In their view, with Tang Xiao's strength, a single hammer strike would be enough to injure Yun Yuan heavily.
As for killing Yun Yuan on the spot—that was naturally impossible. If Yun Yuan were killed, the situation would drastically change and might trigger a war between the two great forces.
But giving Yun Yuan a lesson was something the Clear Sky Sect could afford. At most, they would compensate with some treasures.
In the soul fighting arena, seeing the Clear Sky Sect act so shamelessly, Yun Yuan was so enraged that he laughed instead, his gaze growing colder.
"Good. Since you all believe Tang Xiao can injure me, then let's see the truth with our own hands."
Facing the incoming Tang Xiao, Yun Yuan did not panic. Instead, he was unexpectedly calm.
Putting aside whether Tang Xiao could even injure him, he still had his external soul bone—the Wind Thunder Wings. Even if he were no match, he could still retreat safely.
In the next moment—
Two soul rings on Yun Yuan's body lit up, radiating brilliant light as his soul power surged.
"First Soul Skill: Wind Thunder Flash!"
"Second Soul Skill: Endless War Spear!"
The first soul skill increased both his spear speed and movement speed. As for the second soul skill, just like in his battle against Tang Hao, the critical hit rate directly reached the maximum limit of three hundred percent.
"You want to teach me a lesson? I'd like to see whether your Clear Sky Sect is qualified!"
With that, he gathered all his strength and unleashed the strongest attack his Atlas Spear could produce so far.
Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer collided with Yun Yuan's Atlas Spear in midair. The resulting surge of soul power even caused cracks to form on the arena beneath them.
"How is this possible? How can a Soul Grandmaster block my attack?!"
Tang Xiao's pupils shrank as he stared at Yun Yuan clashing head-on with him, his face filled with disbelief.
Even without using soul skills or the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate techniques, his raw attack power was not something a Soul Grandmaster could withstand.
He, Tang Xiao, was also a top genius of the Clear Sky Sect. Though not as monstrous as his younger brother Tang Hao, across the entire continent, among those of the same age, there were almost none who could rival him.
Yet today, his attack had been blocked by a mere Soul Grandmaster. How could this not shake his very understanding of reality?
After the clash, Yun Yuan was pushed back by the force of Tang Xiao's hammer, retreating several meters before stabilizing himself.
As for Tang Xiao, although he landed steadily, the hand gripping the Clear Sky Hammer trembled continuously, clearly showing that he had not come out unscathed either.
At this moment, Qian Xunji had also broken free from the Great Elder's entanglement and arrived in the arena.
He looked at Tang Xiao coldly as his soul power erupted. The terrifying pressure forced Tang Xiao to drop to one knee.
But only for a brief moment, as the pressure vanished. Another elder of the Clear Sky Sect stepped forward, blocking Qian Xunji's pressure for him.
"Clear Sky Sect… what a shameless sect. Truly shameless to the extreme. Bullying the weak with the strong and acting tyrannically without reason—you've truly mastered it."
Looking at the Great Elder, Qian Xunji spoke coldly, his words filled with suppressed fury.
"Pope Qian, this matter is not the fault of my Clear Sky Sect. When your Spirit Hall junior defeated our Tang Hao, why did he insult him verbally? Was that not an attempt to shatter his Dao heart? What was his intention?"
"Moreover, your junior is not harmed now, is he? In my opinion, Pope Qian, let us consider this matter settled. What do you think?"
Hearing the Great Elder's words, Qian Xunji laughed in anger. He had thought he had already overestimated the shamelessness of the Clear Sky Sect, but now he realized he had greatly underestimated it.
For the Great Elder to speak such shameless words so naturally… it was truly beyond disgraceful.
"Settled? Hah. I have no interest in negotiating with your Clear Sky Sect. Just wait for Spirit Hall to come and demand an explanation."
"I would like to see whether that so-called Ultimate Douluo of yours is as shameless and tyrannical as you all. Today has truly broadened my horizons."
With that, Qian Xunji let out a cold snort, took Yun Yuan's hand, and left the arena without looking back, returning to Bibi Dong's side.
"Dong'er, let's go. We're returning to Spirit Hall."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick.
Now it seemed that none of the upper three sects were good people—especially the Clear Sky Sect. Once she and her junior brother grew stronger in the future, they would surely go to their doorstep and demand an explanation and pressure the entire Clear Sky Sect into submission.
