Bang!
Four figures fell to the ground, causing the buildings below to collapse, and the ground cracked open.
Dust rose in the air as everyone looked up at Li Yu in shock.
An eight-ringed Spirit Douluo, who in the blink of an eye, had defeated five Title Douluos.
Among them, even figures like Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were included, making the shock in everyone's hearts even more profound.
Li Yu, however, remained calm.
For anyone below level 99, they were nothing more than chickens and dogs.
"You..." Tang Xiao, his mouth bleeding, looked up at Li Yu, his eyes filled with shock.
Li Yu raised his hand again, and black-purple thunderclouds began to form in the sky.
"Come back!" Tang Xiao's face darkened. He forced himself to focus, and his soul rings exploded around him, one by one.
Terrifying power gathered into the Clear Sky Hammer, ready to withstand the impending thunderbolt.
But Li Yu smiled faintly, then pressed his finger down.
Tang Xiao let out a scream as he swung the hammer toward the sky, but... the thunderbolt he had anticipated didn't fall.
Instead, a heavy pressure descended.
Then, the black-purple lightning flickered but was directed backward.
"You brat, how dare you show off!" It was the previously repelled Tang Hao. His nine soul rings exploded simultaneously as he rushed toward Li Yu with full force.
Boom!
Tang Hao, having detonated all nine soul rings, briefly withstood the Dark Demon Evil Thunder.
But it was only for a moment. His flesh was torn apart, and he was thrown back to the ground once again.
Bibi Dong and the others were stunned, their scalps tingling, as they realized no one was intervening in the battle.
The Spirit Hall released some aura to intimidate the crowd, but otherwise did nothing.
The Clear Sky Sect was definitely an enemy of the Spirit Hall, but they were content to watch it get worn down.
As for Li Yu, despite his close relationship with Qian Renxue, with his immense power, he was clearly not someone to be "controlled."
For a being too powerful to control, Spirit Hall's usual tactic would be to annihilate them.
But destroying Li Yu seemed unrealistic.
Thus, they chose silence—neither aiding nor offending him—hoping that the Clear Sky Sect could wear down Li Yu.
"Are you sure you want to completely tear apart any relations with my Clear Sky Sect?" Tang Xiao said, his face dark with anger. "You may be strong, but my Clear Sky Sect hasn't even unleashed all its strength!"
He paused, his eyes becoming sharp. "You're not alone now. Can the Heaven Dou Empire withstand the wrath of Clear Sky Sect?"
"Are you threatening me?" Li Yu calmly looked at Tang Xiao, activating Elemental Vision.
Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and the other four Clear Sky Sect elders appeared clearly in his view.
"Oh, three pieces, really disappointing," Li Yu shook his head, and then the power of space bound Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, sliding over them.
Under the effects of Elemental Vision, their bodies, which were glowing with special light, were immediately cut and then crushed.
Three pieces of Clear Sky Sect's legacy soul bones fell into Li Yu hands.
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao groaned in pain as their soul powers immediately dropped to levels 86 and 75, respectively.
At their current level of cultivation, they could endure the pain of severed limbs.
Both of them fixed their gazes on Li Yu, as if they wanted to devour him alive.
"These three pieces of Clear Sky Sect's legacy soul bones are yours, but return that 100.000 Years soul bone, and Clear Sky Sect will let this go..." Tang Xiao looked at Tang Hao and then spoke, clearly humbled, as if trying to negotiate.
Afraid Li Yu would reject his offer, he hurriedly transmitted, "As long as you agree, we'll help you keep your secret. You wouldn't want anyone to know that the girl is a soul beast, would you?"
Even though Tang Xiao's face was pale, he stared at Li Yu, as if saying: If you don't agree, we'll destroy everything!
Dugu Bo and the others exchanged glances, still puzzled as to where Tang Xiao got the confidence to negotiate with Li Yu.
Come on, the moment Li Yu moved his finger, you'd be dead!
"Quite the deal, don't you think?" Tang Xiao continued when Li Yu didn't respond.
"Heh," Li Yu calmly looked at Tang Xiao and suddenly smiled.
He asked, "So what you mean is, I should give you the highest quality piece of my spoils and let you leave, and then Clear Sky Sect will forgive me?"
The entire arena fell silent, everyone staring at Tang Xiao as if he were an idiot.
Tang Xiao, however, responded, "Yes, these are your spoils, but can you really hold on to them?
You really don't care about Clear Sky Sect's stance?
If Clear Sky Sect insists on opposing the Heaven Dou Empire, are you sure the Empire can withstand it?"
Li Yu stopped smiling.
"Well, then thank you."
"Your suggestion is very constructive, but... I don't like it, so..."
"You all can just die."
Without giving Tang Xiao another chance to speak, Li Yu space power compressed rapidly. Deep ravines appeared, and in moments, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao were reduced to blood rain.
All the onlookers were frozen.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao... just died like that?
Both were Super Douluo level experts, and yet, they had no ability to resist Li Yu?
It was terrifying.
Li Yu wasn't concerned with the crowd's gaze. His focus shifted to the three Clear Sky Sect elders who had remained still on the ground after their fall.
He hadn't paid attention to them before.
After all, these three were too weak to deserve his focus.
But now, after activating Elemental Vision, his expression changed slightly.
These three, at this moment, were completely lifeless, their bodies completely gone, leaving only their skeletons!
"This...?" Even Li Yu was stunned. This scene seemed eerily familiar...
"Holy Spirit Cult!" Li Yu suddenly remembered.
Back in the Star Dou Forest, the bodies of the fallen Holy Spirit Cult members had vanished in the same way.
It was then that he had first taught Hu Liena and the others a lesson.
But... that altar where the Holy Spirit Cult had hidden was destroyed by him. How could this phenomenon appear again?
Furthermore, while Spirit City was adjacent to the Star Dou Forest, it was still far from the site of the initial incident.
The altar should not have been able to affect Spirit City.
Also, Clear Sky Sect had no reason to have any connection with the Holy Spirit Cult.
Wait...
Li Yu suddenly recalled what the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult had said about the "Holy Son."
The Holy Spirit Cult had wanted Li Yu to join and promised him the title of Holy Son, mentioning that if he joined, even the current "prospective Holy Son" wouldn't be able to compete with him.
Moreover, the Holy Son was supposed to be "male."
At that time, Li Yu had been disguised as Li Yu.
Now, with everything considered, the person who seemed to be regarded as a "Holy Son," and who was male, was none other than Tang San.
So, was Tang San the "Holy Son"?
