Upon hearing that Tang Lie had been killed because the mission to kidnap the Emperor failed,
the expressions of the Clear Sky Sect members changed drastically.
Tang Xiao's face was filled with gloom.
He never expected that the current Tiandou Empire
would actually possess such formidable combat power.
Even a Titled Douluo could not manage to infiltrate it.
However, they would absolutely never admit to something like kidnapping the Emperor.
After all, he was the ruler of a nation.
If they admitted to this,
they would be facing the million-strong army of the Tiandou Empire!
Although the current Clear Sky Sect possessed several Titled Douluo,
they could definitely not withstand the onslaught of a million-strong army.
Without a second thought, Tang Xiao flatly denied it: "Nonsense! These are trumped-up charges! When has my Clear Sky Sect ever sent someone to break into the palace at night to kidnap the Emperor?"
"It is clearly you two brats who used trickery to kill our Clear Sky Sect's Seventh Elder!"
"And then you framed us."
"Men! Seize these two for me!"
"Afterward, I, the Sect Master, will personally take their corpses to Xue Qinghe to demand an explanation!"
The surrounding Clear Sky Sect disciples collectively raised their Clear Sky Hammers and charged forward with murderous intent.
The first to act were several Elders.
Upon learning that Tang Lie was killed by these two people,
they were already beyond furious.
They rushed to the very front of the group.
"Xue'er, let's do it," Jin Mian spoke up to remind her.
"Alright!" Qian Renxue responded.
In the next moment,
the two of them simultaneously released their respective Martial Souls.
"Seventh Spirit Ability — Golden Crocodile True Body!"
"Seventh Spirit Ability — Angel True Body!"
A massive Golden Crocodile and a flawless angelic phantom appeared.
Just the pressure released by the two of them
sent the Clear Sky Sect disciples reeling back!
Looking at the two massive phantoms in the sky,
Tang Xiao and several Elders all froze in place as one.
"Angel! Crocodile! Just what is the background of these two?"
Fear flickered in the Second Elder's eyes.
It was for no other reason than
these two Martial Souls were simply too familiar to him.
The memories that should have remained dead in his mind became active once more.
Back then, Qian Daoliu and Jin E had attacked the Clear Sky Sect one after another!
Causing heavy casualties among the Sect's disciples.
The Sect was almost wiped out!
If it hadn't been for the pressure from the Two Great Empires,
the Clear Sky Sect might have already become history.
The surrounding Clear Sky Sect disciples continued to charge forward after being pushed back.
"Everyone, come back!" Tang Xiao hurriedly shouted.
Although he hadn't figured out the situation,
seeing that the Sect Master had spoken,
everyone had no choice but to obey and retreat.
Tang Xiao stared intently at Jin Mian and Qian Renxue, questioning them: "Possessing these two Martial Souls, you are certainly no mere assassins. What is your true origin?!"
The Second Elder asked more directly: "What is your relationship with Spirit Hall's Qian Daoliu and Jin E?"
Seeing that their identities had been exposed,
Jin Mian decided to stop pretending.
He laid his cards on the table.
"My name is Jin Mian, and the Jin E you mentioned is my grandfather!"
"As for her," Jin Mian pointed at Qian Renxue and introduced her, "she is Qian Daoliu's granddaughter, Qian Renxue!"
As for the name Qian Renxue, it was the first time the Clear Sky Sect members had heard it.
But the two words 'Jin Mian' were extremely familiar.
Through information from Tang Yuehua,
they knew that in the last All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament, the boy who stole the spotlight and took the championship was this very kid.
Tang Xiao couldn't help but clench his fists, radiating an intense murderous intent: "So you are Jin Mian."
"Rumor has it that you were the one who killed my brother, Tang Hao?"
After the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament ended,
the news of the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao being killed by Jin Mian quickly spread across every nation.
Tang Yuehua, who secretly loved her brother,
fainted directly upon receiving this news.
Subsequently,
the news reached the Clear Sky Sect.
As a brother-obsessed fanatic, Tang Xiao
was grief-stricken!
He almost personally went to Spirit Hall to seek revenge on Jin Mian.
But he was stopped by the Second Elder.
Just now, upon learning that the person before him was Jin Mian, the murderer of his brother,
the fury in Tang Xiao's heart
erupted completely like a volcanic explosion.
"Indeed!" Jin Mian said.
Unexpectedly,
just as he finished speaking,
Tang Xiao's eyes instantly turned blood-red, and a violent aura erupted from his body!
A tearing roar sounded: "Jin Mian! Since you dare to admit it, then today, I shall make you pay in blood!!!"
Tang Xiao's Level 96 Super Douluo aura
could be said to have erupted to its fullest!
He leapt into mid-air.
Both hands tightly gripped the Clear Sky Hammer.
The seventh Soul Ring lit up!
"Seventh Spirit Ability — Tool Soul True Body!"
Deep blue spirit power spread out,
gradually condensing into a massive Martial Soul True Body holding a Clear Sky Hammer!
The aura it radiated
was completely incomparable to what Tang Lie could produce.
Even Tang Hao would pale in comparison before it.
Because Tang Xiao did not have any hidden injuries, and he had been cultivating diligently in the Clear Sky Sect all these years.
Whether it was his rank or the Clear Sky Sect's secret techniques,
his level of cultivation was naturally much stronger than the Tang Hao who had been decadent for many years.
"Leave Tang Xiao to me, Xue'er, you go deal with the others!"
"Triple Dawn: Sacred Fist!"
Three fist phantoms suddenly appeared in mid-air.
Jin Mian surged upward.
His body passed through the fist phantoms one after another.
Every time he passed through a fist phantom, the power of his right fist would double!
After three consecutive stackings,
he threw a punch, which collided violently with Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer.
Boom!
In an instant! The heavens and earth changed color!
The sky, which was originally covered with dark clouds and looked like it was about to rain heavily,
was forcibly blown apart under this impact.
The moonlight reappeared.
Sand and stones flew at the mountain gate of the Clear Sky Sect.
Some weaker disciples were hit by the aftershocks and couldn't stand steadily, stumbling back one after another.
In the clash,
Jin Mian felt it becoming more and more difficult.
The power of Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer was truly great enough.
At the same time,
Tang Xiao was also shocked in his heart.
The Jin Mian before him was truly as powerful as the rumors said.
He actually relied on his strength as a Level 80+ Spirit Douluo to take a full-strength strike of his hammer as a Level 96 Super Douluo!
It was simply terrifying!
Bang!
A massive force erupted at the center of the attack,
knocking the two of them back.
"Again!" Tang Xiao didn't believe in this heresy.
He raised the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand high again.
Jin Mian was not to be outdone.
If it was a competition of strength,
he wasn't a pushover either.
In an instant, the two of them were locked in battle again.
"That the Tiandou Empire would actually join forces with Spirit Hall is truly a strange piece of news," the Second Elder stroked his beard and sighed, but then his gaze turned toward Jin Mian, actually revealing a hint of envy: "I didn't expect Spirit Hall to actually produce such a once-in-a-century genius. If such a talent belonged to our Clear Sky Sect, how wonderful that would be."
Back when Tang Xiao and Tang Hao first emerged,
high hopes were placed on them by the entire Sect.
They were hailed as the Clear Sky Twin Stars!
But now, compared to Jin Mian,
those two stars were simply no match at all...
