Do not be fooled by the fact that the Five Great Elders of the Clear Sky Sect were all ordinary Titled Douluo.
They still had one final trump card.
That was a combination skill performed by the five of them simultaneously: Hammer Shaking the Heavens!
This move was not to be underestimated.
Its power was second only to Tang Chen's Great Sumeru Hammer.
However.
Since the Seventh Elder Tang Lie was already dead.
The move that required five people to activate now had a gap.
Helplessly.
The Second Elder could only have Tang Xiao fill the void.
After Tang Xiao used all his strength to force Jin Mian back.
He quickly landed beside the four Elders.
Immediately after.
The five of them each unleashed their Martial Soul True Body.
A pentagram formation appeared.
The five of them simultaneously converged their spirit power into the center of the formation.
In an instant.
The clouds and winds in the sky and earth shifted.
A great wind howled.
A pillar of energy rose from the ground, soaring straight into the clouds!
It even carried a terrifying suppression of spirit power!
"Pentagram in position! Hammer Shaking the Heavens!" x5
Along with a roar from the five of them!
A giant golden hammer slowly condensed into form!
This hammer was dozens of zhang tall! A domineering reddish-orange aura flowed across its body.
It seemed as if it could smash everything in the world to pieces.
"Well timed!"
"It just so happens I have a hammer here too!"
"Let's see whose hammer is more powerful!"
Jin Mian summoned Miris's exclusive great light hammer.
He flew up, intending to compete against the "Hammer Shaking the Heavens" unleashed by the five-man combination.
The Fifth Elder saw that Jin Mian was actually pirating their Clear Sky Sect's exclusive Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer!
He was immediately enraged.
"Ignorant child! How dare you misappropriate my Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Hammer."
"Today, I'll let you know the might of the 'Hammer Shaking the Heavens' performed by the five of us!"
"Do it!"
With a command from the Second Elder.
The five of them exerted their strength simultaneously.
That giant golden Clear Sky Hammer smashed down towards Jin Mian below!
The golden Clear Sky Hammer crashed down with a momentum that could destroy heaven and earth; wherever it passed, the air was compressed into sharp howling sounds, as if the world was mourning for this terrifying strike.
In the space beneath the hammer, several cracks vaguely appeared.
Jin Mian showed no fear.
He leaped up.
He swung the light hammer.
He charged towards the falling golden Clear Sky Hammer.
Boom!
The two hammers collided.
A sound like the collapse of heaven and earth exploded.
With an absolute crushing momentum, the light hammer smashed the golden Clear Sky Hammer, causing it to dissipate into the world.
Tang Xiao and the others spat out blood.
They crashed onto the ground.
Due to their injuries, combined with the massive consumption of spirit power and physical strength.
They were simply unable to stand up.
They hurriedly adjusted their breathing to begin recovery.
Jin Mian's arms were also shaken to the point of numbness, and he retreated a hundred meters while clutching the light hammer.
Tang Xiao shouted at this moment: "Disciples of the Clear Sky Sect, hear my command! This fellow Jin Mian's spirit power and physical strength must be exhausted! Whoever beheads him first can directly become this Sect Master's personal disciple!"
"Whoever disembowels Jin Mian may choose any Elder to become their disciple."
"Whoever severs his limbs can become a core disciple!"
"Whoever wounds Jin Mian can be promoted to an inner sect disciple!"
In his view.
That collision just now.
Had exhausted the five of them so severely.
Not to mention Jin Mian, who must be at the end of his rope.
Even if he still had the strength to resist.
There probably wasn't much left.
As the saying goes.
Under a heavy reward, there will surely be brave men!
Upon hearing Tang Xiao's words.
The surrounding Clear Sky Sect disciples each burned with intense killing intent!
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Brothers! To become the Sect Master's personal disciple! Charge!!!"
"Kill!"
All the Clear Sky Sect disciples present collectively brandished their Clear Sky Hammers and charged forward.
They scrambled over each other, wanting to be the first to behead Jin Mian.
Unexpectedly.
Before they could behead Jin Mian.
A sharp sword qi struck, causing their heads to fall to the ground first!
Qian Renxue stood in front of Jin Mian, the Angel Sword in her hand shimmering with a holy and sharp light!
"With me here, none of you shall harm Jin Mian today!"
The few Clear Sky Sect members charging at the front immediately stopped in their tracks.
After all, they had all witnessed Qian Renxue's prowess just now.
Even with the Five Elders taking turns, they couldn't take her down.
But just as the thought of retreating sprouted in their hearts.
In the crowd, another "wise guy" shouted, "What are you brothers afraid of? It's just a woman! If we swarm her together, I don't believe she can kill us all!"
"For the Sect Master's personal disciple position! Charge!"
These words.
Made the crowd, who had originally felt apprehensive.
Re-ignite their killing intent.
They surged forward once again in overwhelming numbers.
Qian Renxue saw these fools who didn't know death was looming actually dared to charge again.
The Angel Sword in her hand shone brilliantly.
Sharp sword qi condensed into form.
Just as she was about to strike.
A large hand patted her shoulder.
Qian Renxue turned her head to look.
And saw Jin Mian smiling and nodding at her.
"You're okay."
"Of course I'm fine. Just now, my hands were only a bit numbed by the shock."
"It'll be fine after a short rest."
Jin Mian's tone was relaxed.
But in fact.
That strike just now, besides numbing his arms.
Had indeed consumed a large amount of spirit power.
But his Nine Yang Divine Art was not just for show.
Having practiced the divine art to the point of perfection, while circulating the technique with all his might.
In just a few moments.
He returned to his peak.
Afterwards, Jin Mian and Qian Renxue began to deal with the Clear Sky Sect disciples charging at them.
With the two of them acting together.
In a short while.
A large number of these Clear Sky Sect disciples fell to the ground!
Tang Hao and the four Elders watched as the disciples fell one by one.
They were burning with anxiety.
But helplessly.
They could only worry in vain.
Their bodies had not yet fully recovered enough to move.
After killing another large group of Clear Sky Sect disciples.
Jin Mian suddenly noticed the sky was beginning to brighten slightly.
So he pointed to the horizon and said to Qian Renxue, "Little Xue, we should leave."
Qian Renxue, who had originally intended for her and Jin Mian to wipe out the Clear Sky Sect today.
Seeing the sky where the sun was about to rise.
Could only nod helplessly.
After all, she was currently the Great Emperor Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire.
To avoid raising suspicion over there.
She had to let the Clear Sky Sect off the hook.
After the two of them used their spirit power to blast back the crowd of Clear Sky Sect disciples.
They flew away.
The people of the Clear Sky Sect, who had suffered heavy casualties.
Although they didn't know what was happening.
Seeing these two gods of slaughter finally fly away.
Made everyone, who had thought the Clear Sky Sect would be completely destroyed today, heave a long sigh of relief.
After this incident.
Tang Xiao and the four Elders.
Issued a strict order!
All Clear Sky Sect disciples were forbidden from leaving the mountain starting today.
No matter how noble the other party's status, this rule had to be enforced.
Any violators.
Would be executed immediately! No leniency!
It could be said.
After twenty years.
The people of the Clear Sky Sect, who had finally managed to recover with great difficulty.
Before they even had a chance to flex their muscles.
They were beaten down once again.
Although this time the casualties were not as heavy as the last!
The price was still not small.
They lost an Elder with the combat power of a Titled Douluo, as well as over two hundred direct descendants of the Clear Sky Sect, and the Sect Master along with the other four Great Elders were all severely injured.
Looking at the already sparsely populated Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao's heart couldn't have been more pained...
