Chapter 379: The Situation is Hopeless
"Great Sumeru Hammer!"
Using the last bit of power from the exploded soul rings, Tang Xiao unleashed the strongest strike of his life.
The massive Haotian Hammer, several hundred meters long, formed in mid-air. Tang Xiao, gripping the hammer with his only usable right hand, swung it fiercely toward the two giant beasts before him.
Facing this move, Ah bao and Erming didn't dare show any leniency. This was a technique that Tang Hao had used in the past, and it was one that had left a lasting impression on them.
"Million Ton Gravity Punch."
"Fury·Dark Gold Sky-Splitting Claw."
Using the same counterattack strategy as before, the two beasts, who had never known the meaning of retreat, charged directly toward the enormous Haotian Hammer.
The violent energy completely detonated the Haotian Sect's mountain gate. The joint forces, who had just dealt with the last of the stubborn Haotian Sect disciples and were about to break into the sect, were swept hundreds of meters away by the shockwave. As they regained their footing and spat out the dust from their mouths, they stared in horror at the ruined sect before them.
"This is terrifying. Fortunately, we were slow; if we had entered the sect, there would have been nothing left."
"Who says? Let's stay outside. It doesn't look like there's anyone left alive inside anyway."
"I agree."
Faced with the terrifying force inside Haotian Sect, both the Spirit Hall and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School soul masters hesitated and chose to stop, not daring to move forward. They were afraid that if a fight between gods broke out, they would be caught in the crossfire.
On a distant mountain peak, the elders, who were still engaged in battle, instantly felt rage fill their hearts when they saw their sect reduced to ruins.
"Bastards! I'll make you pay for this. Soul rings, explode for me!"
The Magic Bear Douluo, who had been no match for Tang Lie in the past, could still offer some resistance in the previous battle, but now, facing Tang Lie's nine soul rings exploding, he immediately fell into a disadvantage.
In an instant, Tang Lie's Haotian Nine Extremes sent him flying out and into the mountainside.
Although the battle was six against four, facing the enraged elders, the Title Douluo from Spirit Hall didn't dare to take the Haotian Hammer head-on. They quickly began retreating.
"Think you can leave? Ask the Haotian Hammer if it agrees."
"And mine too."
Another series of explosions rang out as the second elder and the others detonated all their soul rings, intending to fight to the death with these Spirit Hall minions. As for the aftereffects of the soul ring explosions, they no longer had the energy to care. With their home gone, what use were the soul rings? They let them go!
The violent soul power in the air caused the faces of the Spirit Hall Title Douluo to change drastically. However, it was clear that they could not leave easily, and after gritting their teeth, Yue Guan hurriedly glanced at his old friend, who immediately caught his gaze.
"Everyone, help buy us some time for our martial soul fusion technique."
Whether it was Ling Yuan, Ghost Leopard, Spike Porcupine, or Snake Spear, they all knew this was their only chance, and they immediately nodded to take on the task of delaying.
"Ninth Soul Skill: Void Shadow."
"Ninth Soul Skill: Fire Falcon Divine Light."
"Ninth Soul Skill: Purple Poison Hell."
"Eighth Soul Skill: Thunderous Strike."
The giant ghost leopard shadow, flaming divine light, thunderous spear, and poisonous mist instantly surged toward the enraged four elders. But now, with no concerns or attachments, the four elders didn't care about trading injuries for injuries—life for life. They didn't fear it; all they wanted was to tear apart the bastards in front of them.
They knew their families and friends had already turned to ash with the sect. If they had the Great Sumeru Hammer, they would have smashed it into these bastards' faces long ago.
"Break Technique: Force of Unity, Speed and Destruction."
"Slash Technique: Free as the Body, Instant Light and Darkness."
"Link Technique: One Energy Connection, Successive Attacks."
"Crash Technique: Meteor Shower, Mountain Collapsing Before!"
The four elders raised their Haotian Hammers and charged toward the oncoming purple poison mist, each of them unleashing their most powerful Haotian techniques. In an instant, the ghost leopard shadow in the sky was shattered by the iron hammer, the flame light couldn't stop their advance, and only the extremely fast thunderous spear pierced the shoulder of the Fifth Elder. However, the Fifth Elder didn't slow down at all, not even furrowing his brows, as if the injury didn't exist and continued charging toward the others.
Seeing their most powerful moves ineffective, the four elders' faces filled with terror. They were all shaken by these fearless opponents.
"Damn, hurry and defend!"
In panic, the four quickly released their defensive soul skills, forming their last line of defense. But even with their enraged strikes, their defense crumpled like paper and was easily shattered.
As the Haotian Hammer came crashing down on them, a trace of despair appeared in their eyes. The Ghost and Demon brothers hadn't reached their positions yet, meaning they could not rely on their domains to avoid the blow.
At that critical moment, a golden staff, several hundred meters long and engraved with divine dragon patterns, streaked across the sky and slammed into the four elders.
"Ninth Soul Skill: The Passage of All Beings."
The sudden golden staff caught the four off guard. The immense impact directly poured into the Haotian Hammer. Even with the soul power boost from their exploded soul rings, they could not withstand it head-on. After one clash, all four were sent flying back.
The second elder looked in horror at the distant mountain peak, where two figures were standing and staring back at them.
"That's Qianjun and Jiang Mo? I didn't expect even them to have arrived."
The four, originally planning to counter the incoming battle with Qianjun and Jiang Mo using their martial souls, had completely overlooked the figures of Yue Guan and Ghost Charm who had approached their sides.
Both of them wore triumphant smiles as they extended their palms, freezing the entire space before them.
"Martial Soul Fusion Technique: Polar Stillness Domain."
Everything in front of the four seemed to slow down. The four Haotian Sect elders, trapped within the space, revealed expressions of terror. They could no longer move.
"Well done."
Reacting quickly, Snake Spear and the others released their soul skills once again, charging them up and sending them toward the domain. The moment the attacks entered the range of the domain, Yue Guan and Ghost Charm simultaneously withdrew their soul power and swiftly retreated.
The four Haotian Sect elders could only watch as the attacks landed on them. By the time they regained their ability to move, they had no time to raise their Haotian Hammers to block.
"Boom."
The four streams of soul power collided in front of the elders, creating a violent explosion. The weakest Fifth Elder and Sixth Elder immediately collapsed, losing their ability to move, while the Second Elder and Third Elder were also heavily injured, their bodies battered and bruised, a perfect description of their current state.
"How despicable."
Tang Qing, kneeling on the ground, looked at the Spirit Hall group with hatred, and a feeling of helplessness surged in his heart. In the end, they hadn't been able to avenge their clan.
"Hmph, the victors are kings. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being born into the wrong faction."
Without any intention of further words, the group quickly raised their soul power and charged toward the last two remaining elders.
Meanwhile, the Qianjun Douluo, seeing the situation was decided, shifted his gaze to the battlefield between the Magic Bear and Tang Lie. This was the only battlefield where Haotian Sect seemed to have the upper hand.
