Chapter 380: The Annihilation of Haotian Sect
"Second Brother!"
Tang Lie, who had been suppressing the Magic Bear, was just about to severely injure or even kill his opponent. However, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a scene that made his blood boil. In the distance, two of the elders had already collapsed, lifeless, while the remaining Second and Fourth Elders were about to fall victim to the traitors' hands.
Seeing this, Tang Lie immediately decided to abandon his current opponent and rush to their rescue.
But the appearance of a golden, coiling dragon staff froze him in his tracks.
"Still resisting? Die!"
The arrival of the Qianjun Douluo made the Magic Bear, whose aura had been waning, let out a deep sigh of relief. With this person's intervention, he felt that this operation was finally coming to a successful close.
Helplessly watching the Second and Fourth Elders fall at the hands of Yue Guan and Ghost Charm, Tang Lie's eyes turned blood-red.
"I'll drag one of you down with me. Die!"
In his despair, Tang Lie exploded all of his remaining soul rings. All of his power gathered into one point as he swung his Haotian Hammer at the Qianjun Douluo.
"Great Sumeru Hammer!"
In his final moments, Tang Lie unleashed incredible combat power, even managing to form the Great Sumeru Hammer, a technique he had never been able to use before. The sky was filled with the massive shadow of the Haotian Hammer, which, despite its overwhelming presence, carried a sense of sorrow.
Tang Lie's last-ditch counterattack made the Qianjun Douluo hesitant. Despite being several levels stronger in soul power and having the advantage of being a Super Douluo, he didn't want to underestimate Tang Lie. He summoned his martial soul avatar and unleashed his full power.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Heaven and Earth's Toss."
The coiling dragon staff in his hands suddenly expanded, and for a brief moment, it could rival the enormous Haotian Hammer in the sky.
The hammer and staff collided violently in mid-air, and the long-silent valley erupted with the final energy wave. The shockwaves rippled for miles, making the joint forces in the distance hesitate, uncertain whether they would meet an unknown soul skill and perish.
Half a minute later, Qianjun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gave Tang Lie, who was lying on the ground with barely any life left, a deep look of respect.
However, Tang Lie's eyes were filled with hatred as he continued to glare at the Qianjun Douluo, gnashing his teeth.
"Spirit Hall, you've done so much evil. You won't have a good end."
"Don't be foolish. History is written by the victors. Haotian Sect will forever be buried in the dust of history."
After a violent heaving of his chest, Tang Lie gradually stopped breathing, his eyes remaining full of resentment and unwillingness until the very end.
All the battlefields fell silent, and the Title Douluo of Spirit Hall summoned the leaders of the joint forces.
"How's the situation?"
"Your Majesty, Haotian Sect's Sect Master, Tang Xiao, has been dealt with by Mr. Ah bao . All the fighting disciples of Haotian Sect are dead. Only the elderly, women, and children have taken refuge in the distant mine."
Yue Guan nodded and then inquired about the casualty figures.
"How are we doing?"
"We've lost 26 Soul King and Soul Emperor level soul masters, with 113 severely injured. There have been no deaths above the Soul Sage level, though a few were injured."
"I understand. Go and tidy up the battlefield and bring the injured here."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yue Guan nodded, clearly satisfied with the outcome of the battle. He then gave orders, and the leaders quickly departed to carry out his commands.
Yue Guan then looked toward the figure atop a distant mountain. The person seemed to have sensed his gaze and quickly appeared by his side.
"Lord Ning, aside from the elderly, women, and children, Haotian Sect no longer exists."
"Mm, do you need some healing pills?"
"Yes, Lord Ning, we've also suffered some casualties."
Ning Bei nodded and took out several dozen jade bottles from his soul tool, tossing them to Yue Guan.
"Let the injured take these. They should be fine."
"On behalf of my colleagues, I thank you, Lord Ning."
Ning Bei waved his hand, signaling that Yue Guan need not be so polite. He then disappeared in a flash, heading toward the interior of Haotian Sect.
Looking at the ruinous remains, Ning Bei felt little emotional disturbance. The situation in Star Luo City had been far worse.
He glanced at the three individuals chatting in the distance and walked over to join them.
"How was it? Did you enjoy the fight?"
"Big Brother, not bad. This Tang Xiao has some skills."
When Ning Bei arrived, Ah bao flashed a big, honest smile and pointed toward the pit where the lifeless Tang Xiao lay, praising him.
Looking down into the pit, Ning Bei saw the former Sect Master of the once-great sect, his body a bloody mess, clearly treated by Ah bao 's Sky-Splitting Claw.
"Ning Bei, brother, any more fights?"
Erming, cracking his shoulders, looked eager, unlike Ah bao , who seemed to be satisfied. Erming looked like he hadn't quite loosened up yet.
Shaking his head and pointing at the restless gorilla, Ning Bei chuckled.
"Not for now, don't worry, there will be more battles."
As they chatted, Yue Guan and the others arrived.
"Lord Ning, what do you plan to do with the remaining elderly, women, and children of Haotian Sect?"
After a brief moment of hesitation, Ning Bei felt a slight heaviness in his heart. It was one thing to kill those who could resist, as war was cruel, but it was another to deal with those who had no ability to resist.
Following Yue Guan, Ning Bei arrived at the area where the prisoners were being held. He surveyed the trembling women, children, and elderly, then immediately walked out of the prison.
"Leave the babies in swaddling clothes to Xue Hu. The rest, you deal with them."
"Yes, Lord Ning."
Yue Guan immediately understood Ning Bei's intention and flashed a cold smile. Having once been defeated by the Haotian Hammer, he had no love for this sect. This wasn't the first time he had wiped out an entire sect, so he felt no burden in carrying out the task.
After leaving the prison, Ning Bei found Xue Hu.
"Take the babies back to the sect and hand them to my father. This matter is settled, I'm leaving now."
"Second Young Master, I understand."
After giving his instructions, Ning Bei summoned Ah bao and the others back to the Pill Tower. Together with Qianjun and Jiang Mo, they headed toward Heaven Dou City.
Due to its remote location, Ning Bei anticipated that the news of Haotian Sect's annihilation wouldn't have the same shockwave as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's destruction. Furthermore, with no force left on the continent to oppose the Little Angel's unification, she could now return to Spirit Hall and inherit the Angel God position with peace of mind.
A day later, Ning Bei and the others returned to the Imperial Palace and informed the Little Angel of the outcome.
Qian Renxue clenched her delicate fists, her expression one of excitement. After all, Haotian Sect had once stood as one of the two great sects alongside Spirit Hall, and now, under her hands, it had been destroyed, bringing her a considerable sense of accomplishment.
"By the way, what about Tang San?"
"He? You might see him soon."
"Huh?"
