Chapter 23: Call Tang Xiao!

……

"In other words, it's impossible for Tang Hao to appear?" Nan Feng said.

"Absolutely impossible!" Yue Guan and Gui Mei affirmed.

With Tang Hao's injuries, he probably wouldn't dare to use his martial soul easily now. If that guy dared to appear, they wouldn't even need to make a move; his own serious injuries would be enough to kill him with backlash! "Who is commanding the battle on the Clear Sky Sect's front line now?" Nan Feng asked.

"The Clear Sky Sect's First Elder and Sixth Elder," Gui Mei said.

"I tried a few moves with those two guys two days ago. One is level 88, the other is level 87. I win steadily in a one-on-one, but if they join forces, I can't do anything about them for a while. If they fight for their lives, I'll likely die with them."

The reason the Clear Sky Sect could stand in the Spirit Master world for thousands of years without falling, and also hold the title of the world's number one sect, was mainly because the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul itself was extremely overbearing. The Clear Sky Sect's overall strength had always been the absolute number one among the Seven Great Sects for a thousand years!

And Clear Sky Hammer Spirit Masters all had a common characteristic: their combat power in a normal state and their combat power in a life-or-death state were two completely different things! When they spared no effort to drive the Clear Sky Hammer to trade life for life, all defenses within the same realm were just for show!

The main reason why the Spirit Hall's previous attempt to make a move ended in failure, the Titled Douluo elder was injured, the old Clear Sky Sect Master died of illness, and the Elder Hall did not pass the resolution to take advantage of the situation to attack the Clear Sky Sect was because of this.

The Clear Sky Sect's seven elders were all top-tier Spirit Douluo, plus a Sect Master Tang Xiao. Facing such a lineup, unless the elders made a move, the loss of Titled Douluo would be very large.

And the elders were all located deep in the Elder Hall and hadn't made a move for decades. Without the Grand Elder's order, even the Pope couldn't call them.

Everyone in the Elder Hall still valued their lives very much. What if they really pushed these lunatics of the Clear Sky Sect to the limit? They would definitely have to lose a few Titled Douluo on their side.

Everyone didn't want to die, so naturally, they weren't willing to make a move.

This time was the same. The Grand Elder's son died, and he didn't make a move. Everyone in the Elder Hall was even less likely to come and join the fun, and the new Pope Bibi Dong couldn't command those elders either.

"I'm a bit puzzled as to why the Grand Elder refuses to make a move," Gui Mei said.

"Although this matter was trouble caused by the former Pope himself, his son died..."

"He's a coward," Nan Feng said.

Yue Guan and his companion were stunned. "A coward?"

Qian Daoliu is a coward? Are you kidding me? "He is a level 99 Peerless Douluo, and the Clear Sky Sect also has one, and he can't beat that guy," Nan Feng said.

"Can't beat him?" Yue Guan was stunned.

"You aren't talking about Tang Chen, are you? Didn't that guy go missing long ago?"

Tang Chen had been missing for decades; is he still alive?

"Qian Daoliu is also considered to have died long ago in the Spirit Master world, but is he dead?" Nan Feng said.

When not in Wuhun City, Qian Daoliu was definitely not Tang Chen's opponent, because Tang Chen had never used Ring Explosion in his battles with Qian Daoliu.

After all, Ring Explosion was a trump card for risking one's life, so naturally, it couldn't be used in sparring.

And when in Wuhun City, although Qian Daoliu could borrow the Angel God's power to reach Demi-God, Tang Chen could do the same. Although the time was short, if Tang Chen went crazy, Wuhun City would definitely be finished, and Qian Daoliu couldn't stop him.

Tang Chen couldn't kill Qian Daoliu, but he could kill everyone except Qian Daoliu! However, he felt that what Qian Daoliu was most worried about was that Tang Chen might have successfully inherited the god position, which was why he had been hesitant to take action against the Clear Sky Sect.

After all, among the three current Peerless Douluo, without the advantage of geography, Tang Chen was the strongest, and he could force himself to Demi-God alone. This was an ability that neither Qian Daoliu nor Poseixi possessed.

Whether it was talent or strength, Tang Chen was the strongest of the three. Qian Daoliu, as Tang Chen's best friend, naturally knew that guy's strength, and precisely because of this, he was most worried that Tang Chen had really found the path to godhood.

If Qian Daoliu took action against the Clear Sky Sect, and Tang Chen returned as a god, guess what would happen? There was no such thing as being full of martial virtue; it was just a matter of having concerns. So-called respect and reason only existed when strength was equal.

Just like this matter, from the beginning, it was the Spirit Hall wanting to snatch the transformed spirit beast in Tang Hao's hands. The result was that they were counter-killed after knocking on the door. Tang Hao's actions were all legitimate self-defense, and there wasn't a single flaw to pick out, but now it was made to look like he had committed some heinous crime.

Why? Because the Clear Sky Sect was weaker than the Spirit Hall! If Tang Chen were still here, even if Tang Hao took the Blue Silver Emperor and went to the Pope Palace to dance, see if Qian Xunji would dare to fart? There was no such thing as who was right and who was wrong; as long as your fists were big enough, whatever you said was right.

As for not submitting? Just kill everyone who doesn't submit, wouldn't that work?

……

Passing through the ruined city, Nan Feng arrived at the front-line combat zone.

Near evening, it was already time for a ceasefire. Both sides, except for those keeping watch, had already withdrawn from the battlefield.

"Are you sure you want to play like this?" Yue Guan was a bit nervous. "If something happens to you, we won't be able to answer to the Pope Crown."

"Don't worry, the person who can kill me hasn't been born yet," Nan Feng said.

Excluding gods, he really wasn't sure how strong the life-saving ability of the Dog Talisman brought by his martial soul was.

The only thing he could be sure of was that when he suffered fatal damage, the Dog Talisman would consume his own spirit power to form a protective film on his body surface. The effect... should be about the same as Invincible Golden Body.

However, this thing had a problem: it was a passive skill! Only attacks that could cause him fatal damage could trigger this immortality passive. In other words, if the opponent couldn't kill him in one hit, the damage wouldn't be immunized by the Dog Talisman, but he would be injured first and then healed by the Horse Talisman! After all, the energy consumption of the Dog Talisman and the Horse Talisman were on completely different levels. If it wasn't fatal enough, his martial soul would naturally choose to prioritize the plan with lower energy consumption.

"Should we forget it?" Yue Guan was still a bit worried.

They had just defected to Bibi Dong. If something happened to Nan Feng here, it was hard to say whether the Grand Elder would wipe them out, but Bibi Dong definitely wouldn't let them off!

"Don't worry, I haven't lived enough yet, I won't joke with my own life," Nan Feng said.

"Besides, it's not like you don't know how fierce my healing ability is. Even if I only have one breath left, I can heal myself back to life."

"Alright." Yue Guan hesitated for a long time before agreeing.

Anyway, he and Gui Mei were right beside him, and with Gui Mei's speed, it was enough to save Nan Feng from those two Clear Sky Sect elders.

"Clear Sky Sect cowards! Your Grandpa Feng is here!"

Nan Feng walked swaggeringly to the center of the battlefield and directly started a verbal attack. With the support of spirit power, the mocking voice was extremely penetrating.

But unfortunately, the Clear Sky Sect side had no reaction to this.

Seeing this, Nan Feng could only increase his efforts.

"Clear Sky Sect little bastards, surrender!"

"The Spirit Hall doesn't treat prisoners well, but we can give you a good death!"

"Surrender now, and I can personally fund a tombstone for you to be erected on the Clear Sky Sect's mountain!"

"But if you wait until we break in, heh! You're going to suffer!"

"The men will all have their martial souls crippled, their little dicks cut off, and be thrown into the palace to be eunuchs!"

"The women... I'll take the pretty ones! The ugly ones will all be sold off!"

"Hey! Did you hear me! Clear Sky Sect little bastards!"

"Your Grandpa Feng is here today to give you a chance! Let me tell you, Tang Hao has already had his little dick cut off, and your Clear Sky Sect Master's younger brother is already the top eunuch by Xue Ye's side!"

"Surrender quickly, or I'll cut you all off and send you to be his sisters..."

"Little brat! You're courting death!"

Almost in an instant, a figure holding a Clear Sky Hammer rushed out from the distance of the battlefield. At the same time, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand rapidly enlarged, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a super-large giant hammer, slamming down from the top of Nan Feng's head.

Seeing this, Gui Mei was about to make a move, but Nan Feng made a flashy gesture of pointing to the sky with one finger, his right index finger pointing at the Clear Sky True Body falling from the sky, standing quietly in place.

BOOM!!! The terrifying power fluctuation kicked up a cloud of dust, and the originally silent battlefield instantly became tense.

Just when everyone thought Nan Feng had been smashed into meat paste by the Clear Sky True Body, a mocking voice full of disdain rang out faintly in the center of the battlefield: "Is that it?"

Under the huge Clear Sky Hammer, Nan Feng's body, which could be called petite, remained motionless. Even the action of his right index finger supporting the Clear Sky Hammer appeared so eerie.

The Clear Sky Sect Sixth Elder's expression tightened, and he hurriedly withdrew his spirit power and retreated rapidly.

"I thought your Clear Sky Sect was so powerful. Is that it?"

Nan Feng patted the dust off his body and used his right hand to flashily pull his hair back.

"You aren't qualified to fight me. Call Tang Xiao out!"
