"forward!"
Bibi Dong and the others stood up, looking at the terrifying presence descending with Tang Hao. "This is the Supreme Pontiff's Hall, not a place for you, Tang Hao, to show off your strength!"
As they spoke, their auras were unleashed, but...
Their intent to stop Tang Hao wasn't particularly clear. In fact, their auras subtly seemed to lock onto Dugu Bo and Chen Xin.
Clearly, Bibi Dong was quite pleased for Tang Hao to intervention, and was happy to let either Li Yu or Tang San be killed or disabled in the process. She was giving Li Yu the time to deal with Tang San while also giving Tang Hao the chance to kill Li Yu.
Chen Xin furrowed his brow and glanced at Ning Fengzhi. Ning Fengzhi shook his head, so he remained silent, only releasing a faint aura.
Dugu Bo eyes narrowed as his Snow-scaled Celestial Flood Dragon appeared behind him. The aura of a 96th-level Super Douluo was no weaker than anyone else's. Even Tang Hao, who had come with terrifying might, seemed to pale in comparison.
"Tang Hao, if you still care about your reputation, you'd better leave now," Dugu Bo voice was cold as he stepped into the sky, confronting Tang Hao directly.
At this moment, even though Bibi Dong and the others locked their auras on him, Dugu Bo didn't seem to care at all.
Bibi Dong and the other Title Douluos were shocked.
Dugu Bo had a deep enmity with Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo, and they were naturally well aware of his strength. Dugu Bo had once been a 91st-level Title Douluo with the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Spirit...
But when Dugu Bo released the aura of a 96th-level Super Douluo, it was already enough to shock them.
Now, even his Martial Spirit had changed appearance!
Could this be the result of a second Martial Spirit awakening, or was there some kind of opportunity that caused his Martial Spirit to mutate after reaching the Title Douluo level?
They didn't know, but one thing was clear: Dugu Bo was no longer the same person as before—someone who could only release poison and didn't have much combat power.
Now, he was a powerhouse with a top-tier beast Martial Spirit, excelling both in offense and control, and his mastery of poison is unmatched in the world!
Everyone had to reassess Dugu Bo intimidating power.
Thus, the auras directed at him from Bibi Dong and the others subtly dispersed.
Chen Xin glanced once more at Ning Fengzhi, his lips moving.
Ning Fengzhi face showed a trace of surprise before he pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Dugu Bo, are you sure you want to oppose my Clear Sky Sect?" Tang Hao narrowed his eyes as he stared at Dugu Bo, his aura becoming increasingly terrifying.
"Heh heh," Dugu Bo sneered and coldly responded, "That's a question I should be asking you."
He paused, then continued, "Are you sure you want to oppose me?"
The entire arena fell silent.
Dugu Bo had just single-handedly threatened an entire sect!
A meaningful smile flickered in Bibi Dong eyes, but she quickly masked it with indifference.
The others stared at Dugu Bo in horror, all thinking that he must be out of his mind.
The Clear Sky Sect!
Although it was a secluded sect, it still sat firmly as one of the top three sects. How dared Dugu Bo threaten it?
Tang Hao face darkened.
Naturally, he wasn't afraid of Dugu Bo, but if Dugu Bo was determined to oppose the Clear Sky Sect and act without restraint against its disciples, it would truly be a big problem.
"Heh heh, if you want to oppose the Clear Sky Sect, feel free to try," a voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone's expressions changed as they turned to see a figure appear just behind Tang Hao.
This figure exuded an aura that was not weaker than Dugu Bo, perhaps even slightly stronger.
It was another 96th-level Super Douluo!
Bibi Dong, Chen Xin, and the others furrowed their brows.
Where did another 96th-level Super Douluo come from? Are Super Douluos becoming so common now?
"I, the Clear Sky Sect, have been in seclusion for over twenty years, and now even cats and dogs dare to come and bark at me?" another elderly voice echoed.
Everyone's expressions shifted again.
Then, three more figures appeared behind Tang Hao!
While their auras weren't as frightening as Dugu Bo, they were unmistakably Title Douluos.
The Clear Sky Sect!
These four were all from the Clear Sky Sect.
Ning Fengzhi spoke gravely, "Has the Clear Sky Sect, after its twenty years in seclusion, truly produced so many Title Douluos?"
It seemed that the 96th-level Super Douluo from Clear Sky Sect heard Ning Fengzhi words and smiled faintly. "I'm Tang Xiao, greetings, Sect Leader Ning!"
Tang Xiao!
Ning Fengzhi was stunned for a moment, then understood, "You've already reached the 96th-level Super Douluo!"
"Just lucky," Tang Xiao smiled lightly, "If Sect Leader Ning wasn't limited by your Martial Spirit, you'd have long been at the Title Douluo level, perhaps even stronger than I am."
Ning Fengzhi sighed and shook his head.
Tang Xiao continued, "The Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are both top three sects. We should still be allies, shouldn't we?"
Ning Fengzhi paused, his brows furrowing as he didn't respond.
It seemed like Tang Xiao was forcing him to choose between Li Yu and Tang San!
"Heh heh." Tang Xiao laughed softly but didn't press Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi only needed to remain silent and not intervene—that would be the best answer.
As the leaders of their respective sects, Tang Xiao understood Ning Fengzhi predicament.
Bibi Dong and the others from the Spirit Hall kept their faces serious but didn't speak.
Dugu Bo expression turned grim, but he still blocked Tang Hao path, not allowing him to move forward.
"Younger generation, release my son, and I will spare your life," Tang Hao gaze passed over Dugu Bo and landed coldly on Li Yu, then swept over the others. "Also..."
Tang Hao pointed at Xiao Wu. "She—I'm taking her with me."
Xiao Wu trembled, and Zhu Zhuqing stepped in front of her. Despite struggling under the pressure of so many Title Douluos, she still glared coldly at Tang Hao.
The moment these words were spoken, everyone's gaze shifted to Li Yu and then to Xiao Wu, who was protected behind Zhu Zhuqing. For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo, was here to take a girl—what was his intention?
Bibi Dong, Chen Xin, and the others were equally perplexed.
"Heh heh..." Tang San sneered at Li Yu. Despite his current condition, on the brink of death, with his body in a miserable state, he acted as if he were a victor, taunting Li Yu.
Li Yu remained silent, but his expression never changed, always with a faint smile.
Although his face was veiled, this detail went unnoticed by the crowd.
Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Yu spoke:
"Release him?"
She looked at Tang Hao and the four behind him, then her gaze fell on Tang San.
"So this is where your confidence comes from?"
"You think that with the Clear Sky Sect backing you, no one can touch you?"
Li Yu shook her head. "What a pity, I'm just not buying it."
Without waiting for anyone to react, Li Yu fingers twitched, and suddenly, the willow branches binding Tang San right leg sharply cut through at the base.
