Chapter 302

Tang Xiao looked at the many Titled Douluo present, then glanced at the icy Ning Fengzhi, knowing he no longer had the qualifications to negotiate; surrendering to the Sun Moon Empire might be the best outcome.

Tang Xiao retracted his martial soul true form and slowly landed before Ning Fengzhi; just as he was about to speak, a sharp cry came from within the Clear Sky Sect, and five enormous Sky Hammers flew out, carrying terrifying and immense power.

"Clear Sky Sect disciples counterattack, protect the Hall Sect Master!" a cold female voice accompanied the assault of the five gigantic Sky Hammers, and a terrifying demon eye silently unfurled above the Clear Sky Sect.

"Eighth Soul Skill: Life and Death as One Dream!"

As this soul skill unfolded, several Titled Douluo below rank ninety-five instantly lost consciousness for a moment, and the five enormous Sky Hammers formed a terrifying formation aimed at Ning Fengzhi and descended.

At the same time, the Second Elder's weathered voice rang out: "Sect Master, Bi Bi Dong is about to complete the god trial; don't believe these people's words!"

Seeing this, Tang Xiao felt a hint of despair: "How foolish!"

But the battle was about to erupt; saying anything else now would be too late.

Chen Xin sensed the auras of six Titled Douluo emanating from within the Clear Sky Sect, one of which had astonishingly reached rank ninety-nine; although it had just barely reached that level, its terror was self-evident.

"Bi Bi Dong!" Chen Xin's eyes turned cold; he never imagined that Bi Bi Dong, who had fled from the Spirit Hall, would actually appear in the Clear Sky Sect.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Form!"

Chen Xin's Seven Slaughter Sword surged with soul power, suddenly erupting forth with boundless might as he slashed toward Bi Bi Dong.

Likewise, the Radiant Feather Douluo, the Subduing Demon Douluo, and others instantly reacted, unleashing their full power to block the combined assault of the five Sky Hammers.

At this moment, Tang Xiao's eyes cracked with rage as he roared at Ning Fengzhi: "Sect Master Ning, the Clear Sky Sect is willing to submit to the empire; stop fighting!"

Then he bellowed at the Clear Sky Sect's elders: "Elders, the Clear Sky Sect cannot be rebels; stand down!"

But his words were like a stone sinking into the sea; only to see the five elders of the Clear Sky Sect fly out from high above, each holding the Clear Sky Sect that had just been knocked back, shouldering their Sky Hammers with extraordinary domineering presence.

"Sect Master, this time we cannot possibly heed you." Then the Second Elder bellowed: "Clear Sky Sect, counterattack!"

Tang Xiao naturally had no idea what was going on; the Second Elder was the one who cared most about the Clear Sky Sect's survival, having advocated for the sect's seclusion from the start, so how could he have become so foolish today?

Moreover, in a place Tang Xiao couldn't see, the five elders of the Clear Sky Sect had at some point acquired countless crystal-clear shadowy threads linking them; amid the battle, their expressions were utter anguish, nothing like the domineering aura they spoke of, but rather despair.

Seeing the Clear Sky Sect's members take action, Ning Fengzhi needed say no more; the Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, the Thousand Jun Douluo, and others had already charged toward the five elders of the Clear Sky Sect.

Mi He and Long Wu guarded Ning Fengzhi, who looked at Tang Xiao in surprise: "Sect Master Tang, your Clear Sky Sect dares to harbor an imperial fugitive; it seems your intention to submit still needs verification."

"Sect Master Tang, things have come to this; you have no one to blame but myself."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Tang Xiao shouted in anger: "Damn it! Bi Bi Dong, you bastard, I will kill you!"

Although he shouted that he wanted Bi Bi Dong dead, he had already lifted his Sky Hammer and charged at Ning Fengzhi, knowing that to stop the army he must take down Ning Fengzhi.

As he charged, Mi He and Long Wu each unleashed their seventh soul skill; their duty was to protect Ning Fengzhi, so they could not allow Tang Xiao to harm him.

"Get lost!" Tang Xiao roared, releasing his seventh soul skill again; soul power peaking at rank ninety-seven surged forth, and the enormous Sky Hammer directly flung Mi He and Long Wu away, the two unable to muster any resistance before being repelled.

It wasn't that they were weak; the soul power gap between the sides was too great—though both were rank ninety-four, Tang Xiao's soul power had reached rank ninety-seven, and as one of the Twin Stars of the Clear Sky Sect, his strength was naturally terrifying.

But just as he was about to reach Ning Fengzhi, a soul power ripple came from Ning Fengzhi's left leg, and in the next instant Ning Fengzhi teleported tens of meters away.

"Soft Bone Rabbit Left Leg Soul Bone Skill: Teleport!"

This is one of the soul bone abilities granted to Ning Fengzhi after Xiao Wu's sacrifice; accompanying his teleport, a nine-tiered nine-colored pagoda silently appeared in his hand, bearing nine soul rings on the pagoda: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.

Tang Xiao's pupils contracted at the sight; he had previously received news from Tang Yuehua that the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect had been renamed the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect precisely because Ning Fengzhi had broken through the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect's limits and become a Titled Douluo.

Yet upon seeing the ninth blood-red soul ring on Ning Fengzhi's Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda, he still couldn't help but be shaken.

In the moment of his shock, the black seventh soul ring on Ning Fengzhi lit up; the nine-colored pagoda swelled against the wind, instantly reaching ten meters in height, and then the first six soul rings on Ning Fengzhi's body lit up simultaneously, sending six streams of light flying straight toward Chen Xin.

"Uncle Sword, this time we must definitely capture Bi Bi Dong!" Ning Fengzhi then shouted: "Tang Xiao, surrender and leave your Clear Sky Sect's lineage, or else not a single tile will remain!"

Chen Xin received a boost from Ning Fengzhi; his soul power, already peaking at rank ninety-eight, surged again, now matching Bi Bi Dong's level, and his Seven Slaughter Sword erupted with terrifying power as it fell upon Bi Bi Dong.

Bi Bi Dong's injuries have now healed; after undergoing a trial, her strength has increased as well, and having just obtained soul rings from the sea, she is at the peak of her power.

Bi Bi Dong instantly transformed into a gigantic terrifying demon spider, and she and Chen Xin engaged in direct combat.

Meanwhile, the army had already entered the mountain gate under the escort of two Titled Douluo and begun fighting with the ordinary disciples of the Clear Sky Sect.

The Clear Sky Sect has only over two thousand soul masters, and although eighty percent of them wield the Sky Hammer martial soul, they cannot withstand the elite forces that Ning Fengzhi brings.

Moreover, Gu Rong led a thousand soul masters who burst out from within the Clear Sky Sect, leaving countless Clear Sky Sect disciples dumbfounded—the enemies ahead hadn't even been defeated yet, and now more were coming!

After Gu Rong had delivered the thousand soul masters into the Clear Sky Sect's interior, he himself instantly joined the battlefield, charging toward Tang Xiao to kill him; when he killed Tang Hao he showed no mercy, and now he certainly won't either.

Tang Xiao heard Ning Fengzhi's words, glanced at the five elders who were instantly suppressed, and shouted again: "Elders, stop fighting; we must preserve the sect master's spark……"

Before he could finish speaking, spatial energy surged around him, endless killing intent locked him down, and Gu Rong's attack arrived.

Tang Xiao saw that the five elders had no intention of standing down at all, and he himself instantly became enraged; although he didn't know what had happened, this battle was now unavoidable.

If he were to surrender? The Clear Sky Sect's strongest besides Bi Bi Dong is him, and they're currently fighting fiercely; if he surrendered, the Clear Sky Sect would surely be wiped out.

Tang Xiao, enraged to the extreme, lifted his Sky Hammer and launched an all-out attack—only his opponent was Gu Rong.

Meanwhile, the five Titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect still wore pained expressions, being besieged by the Radiant Feather Douluo, the Thousand Jun Douluo, and others; they were no match at all and could only keep retreating.

Moreover, the Divine Fire Douluo, the Black Tortoise Douluo, and several other Titled Douluo directly attacked the disciples inside the Clear Sky Sect; eager to prove themselves, they no longer cared about the dignity of Titled Douluo and struck at the Clear Sky Sect members beneath them.
