Chapter 629: Tang Xiao's Head Falls to the Ground; Star Luo Collapses Across the Entire Line

On the battlefield, the four experts simultaneously brought out their trump cards.

The strongest ultimate techniques collided with one another.

Ice Snow Neon Dress vs. Clear Sky Sun Over the Heavens, Absolute Ice God Annihilation Slash vs. Hammer Roaring Nine Heavens—a clash of power; the Clear Sky Hammer of the past had never lost to anyone, and Tang Xiao believed today would be no exception.

However, Lan Xue and Shui Bing'er were not simply competing with them in Brute Force today.

Lan Xue had already created a new method for using the ice attribute and had passed it on to Shui Bing'er without reservation; after all, they were from the same sect, and Shui Bing'er was not only one of the future guardian generals for her son, but also her niece-in-sect.

As Lan Xue and Shui Bing'er unleashed their strongest soul skills, the Extreme Ice all over their bodies did not dissipate, but was instead entirely internalized.

Compressed, and compressed again.

Until it became a tiny point of light.

Finally, it transformed into an ice-blue laser and was fired out.

The moves the two had used in the past were all large-area attacks, so it was easy to imagine that the light waves they fired were usually very thick, enough to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth, sweeping across ten thousand troops.

But now, Lan Xue and Shui Bing'er had compressed their light beams until they were as thin as a needle, which was truly astonishing.

It seemed the physics Feihuang usually taught them was quite good; the power of this light beam was in no way inferior to conventional Extreme Ice.

But it had changed from a group attack to a single-target attack.

With equal power and a reduced surface area, the pressure would naturally increase countless times over.

Lan Xue intended to break the surface with a single point.

"Boom!"

With an explosive sound, the Clear Sky Hammer and the Extreme Ice finally collided head-on.

In an instant, the entire battlefield shook, and the hills and boulders around the battlefield were either crushed into powder by the power of the Clear Sky Hammer or frozen by the power of the ice and then blown into dust.

The power of the four great experts erupted simultaneously, causing this scene where the heavens and earth lost their color.

The two sides had been bombarding each other for about ten minutes; no matter how long the bombardment lasted, there would always be a winner and a loser, and the advantage began to tilt gradually—the ones holding the advantage were precisely Shui Bing'er and Lan Xue.

Those thin, needle-like ice threads raised the attack power of the Extreme Ice to a level beyond the limit; it was the strongest ultimate move the two possessed at present.

The giant-sized Clear Sky Hammer was simply too large; although its power was astonishing, its force was dispersed over a large area.

The center of the hammer face was finally pierced by a small hole from the Extreme Ice.

One hole was enough; two beams of ice light passed through that hole, shooting into Tang Xiao's heart and the center of Tang Ling's forehead respectively.

Tang Ling suffered brain death on the spot, while Tang Xiao struggled to hold on with his formidable Level 97 soul power.

But he could no longer maintain the Clear Sky Hammer at all, and that massive Clear Sky Avatar slowly dissipated.

Lan Xue carried her Halberd and walked in front of Tang Xiao. "Tang Xiao, you have lost. Although your martial arts are quite good, you are still learning from your predecessors. Even if you integrated the charging method of the Chaotic Wind Cloak into it, it does not count as innovation. The moves are still the same; in front of my Heavenly Queen Halberd Technique, you simply had no chance to charge up." "Wah—" Tang Xiao spat out a large mouthful of blood. He was now on his last legs, merely hanging onto his life by virtue of his profound soul power. "Yes, Lan Xue, you have won. It seems that today, Star Luo and the Clear Sky Sect have suffered a crushing defeat; it is an irreversible situation. I only ask you for one thing: spare the disciples of my Clear Sky Sect and let them go into seclusion once more. I will leave behind a final order that they shall never again be enemies with your Gulei Empire."

He held on to life just to ask Lan Xue for this one thing. Although this greatly damaged his dignity as a Title Douluo, he had things more important than dignity.

That was, he was the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect; on his scales, he did not allow anything to be more important than the sect itself.

"This matter is not for me to decide; it is entirely up to my son's word," Lan Xue said. "For all who are enemies of my son, my Halberd will never show the slightest mercy. Tang Xiao, this is your final word, is it? Since you have finished speaking, you may go to your death."

Having said that, Lan Xue raised the Halberd in her hand.

Tang Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "At least please spare my sister Yuehua. Her martial soul mutated, and she cannot break through level ten to add a Spirit Ring; she will never be a true Spirit Master in this life and poses no threat to you. Moreover, she is Xue Ke's teacher. For the sake of this teacher-student bond, I hope..."

He did not finish his sentence, but Lan Xue no longer wanted to listen. The Mysterious Ice Halberd swept across, and a head flew up.

"I already told you, I only listen to my son; what use is it to beg me? With this time, you might as well hurry to be reborn into a good family; in your next life, do not be enemies with my son again," Lan Xue said impatiently. She walked to Tang Xiao's corpse, channeled her soul power, and her palm exerted a suction force.

Immediately, Tang Xiao's chest, left arm, and right leg ruptured, and three soul bones flew out.

The sect master of the number one sect in the world could not possibly have no soul bones, but he was far inferior to Tang Hao; he actually only had three.

"Torso Bone, Left Arm Bone, Right Leg Bone; judging by their age, they are all between thirty thousand and sixty thousand years—a decent enough trophy!" Lan Xue put away the soul bones and turned to look at Shui Bing'er. "Bing'er, throw the heads of Tang Xiao and Tang Ling over to the battlefield. With all the Title Douluo of Star Luo dead except for Tang Chen, it must be a major blow to their morale."

"Yes, and what about you, Aunt-Master?" Shui Bing'er asked, picking up the two heads.

"I have another mission to complete. All the experts of Star Luo have come out in full force; at this moment, the interior of Xingluo City is empty, which is a perfect opportunity to assassinate the White Tiger Great Emperor. Once the White Tiger Great Emperor is dead, Star Luo will be without a leader, and chaos will inevitably break out everywhere, allowing us to pacify Star Luo at the fastest speed!" Lan Xue replied.

Decapitation tactics—this was the fastest way to end a war that Xun Yu had told her about.

Shui Bing'er nodded. "Yes, then I wish Aunt-Master great success in your military endeavors!"

Inside Xingluo City, Tang Chen, the only one stronger than Lan Xue, was currently in a great battle with Feihuang, and Tang Xiao had already been killed by Lan Xue; Lan Xue would not be in danger going there, and once successful, the benefits to the war would be immeasurably huge.

The two began their actions separately; Lan Xue flew in the direction of Xingluo City, while Shui Bing'er returned to the battlefield of the great war.

When the Star Luo side saw the heads of Tang Xiao and Tang Ling held in her hands, just as Lan Xue had expected, they collapsed.

Their own Title Douluo were all dead, and their great army was being surrounded and slaughtered by Xun Yu's battle formation tactics; they could not advance, nor could they kill their way out, and their morale had already fallen to the bottom.

Under the cover of the army, Tang San finally managed to retreat to Dai Mubai's side. "Mubai, this war cannot continue. Let's retreat quickly; if this goes on, our entire army will be wiped out."

"Fine, fine, fine... quickly pass down the order, the whole army retreats, fall back to defend Xingluo City!" Dai Mubai had long since lost the will to fight; with the whole line collapsing, he no longer had any fighting spirit.

Now his only hope was the battle between Tang Chen and Nan Feihuang in the high sky; only there had the outcome not yet been decided.

As long as Tang Chen won, there would still be a glimmer of a chance to turn defeat into victory.

Therefore, the most important thing now was to save his life.
