At this moment, Yang Xiong gritted his teeth, a flicker of anger in his eyes as he looked at the three figures opposite him.
Since he began cultivating, he had never suffered such severe injuries, and to be wounded by so-called companions at that. It seemed he had grown a little too complacent over the years.
After hearing Tang San's words, Yang Xiong's eyes showed a hint of disdain. "Tang San, it seems I underestimated you, but what gives you the confidence to attack me?"
As Tang San said, if it were an ordinary Limit Douluo, subjected to this level of attack, there would be no chance of survival.
Only Gods could survive. Between Gods and Limit Douluo, both body and soul had undergone transformation. Not only could their Divine Soul regenerate endlessly, but their body had also transformed into a Divine Body, allowing them to recover quickly even from severe injuries.
Unfortunately, Yang Xiong was different from Limit Douluo. In a sense, he was already a true God, though the God Position inheritance had not yet been completed.
Moreover, the Thunder God God Position inheritance wasn't incomplete due to his lack of power. On the contrary, it was because his power was too immense. The strength he wielded had probably long surpassed that of the Gods in the God Realm, which was why even the Thunder Qilin couldn't do anything when it came to the final torso and head inheritances.
Compared to the frenzied Tang San, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong on this side had differing expressions.
Qian Renxue's face looked a bit grim. Clearly, Yang Xiong's sudden ambush had taken her by surprise. Unfortunately, at this point, she had no way out. If Yang Xiong were allowed to continue developing, the Spirit Empire's demise would only be a matter of time.
As for Bibi Dong, her eyes were incredibly dark, as if everything was within her expectations.
Yang Xiong was a bit puzzled. "Bibi Dong, I don't quite understand. Don't you want to unify the world? Why does it feel like you've been colluding with Tang San for a long time?"
"Besides, Tang San stole your Rakshasa God God Position. Can the grudges between you two be resolved so easily?"
Bibi Dong sneered, "Yang Xiong, aren't you mistaken about something? I was once an Inheritor of the Rakshasa God, and I understand the Rakshasa God better than anyone else in this world."
"The Rakshasa God is the God of Slaughter, and also the God of Evil. The Rakshasa God is filled with evil, slaughter, and bloodlust. Such a person has no faith to speak of; only profit represents everything. And you and Tang San are destined to be incompatible."
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Yang Xiong's mouth. "It seems I truly misjudged people. It appears all my efforts over the years were in vain. I can't believe I don't understand my enemies as well as you do."
Bibi Dong said nothing more, but looked at Tang San and Qian Renxue. "Yang Xiong is stalling for time right now. Although I don't know what method he's using, he's trying to buy time to heal."
"If we can't kill Yang Xiong now, I'm afraid we'll be the ones who die in the future."
After Bibi Dong finished speaking, Qian Renxue and Tang San exchanged glances and swiftly attacked Yang Xiong. With their understanding, they knew very well that if they didn't seize this opportunity, Yang Xiong's personality would eventually turn them all to ashes.
Seeing the three attack with extreme speed, Yang Xiong suppressed his injuries, gripping the Asura Demon Sword tightly in his right hand, parrying their attacks sword by sword.
The Asura God had once passed down nine sword techniques to Yang Xiong, but all of them were offensive. There wasn't a single defensive move among them, nor even a single control move. They solely focused on maximizing Slaughter Qi to kill the enemy.
Sword Bone Douluo let out a sharp roar upon seeing Yang Xiong's situation.
"Tang San, you despicable wretch! Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect helped you so much, and the Clear Sky Sect helped you so much! I can't believe you're so ungrateful!"
Unfortunately, even though Sword Bone Douluo tried to hold on, his initial injuries were too severe, making it impossible for him to continue fighting.
Yang Wudi and Lin Gong exchanged glances, a hint of regret in their eyes. If they hadn't wanted to participate in the war, to fight against the Spirit Empire, Yang Xiong's personality probably wouldn't have brought him to the battlefield at all.
Both used all their strength, pushing their abilities to the limit, wanting to fly into the air to buy Yang Xiong some time.
But before they could react, Tang Xiao and the Clear Sky Sect members had already blocked Yang Wudi and the others. Even the Spirit Empire Guest Elders who were originally fighting Tang Xiao and his group had stopped their attacks, instead staring intently at Yang Wudi and the others.
Yang Wudi had always had a fiery temper. "Tang Xiao, you bastard! Back then, your Clear Sky Sect betrayed us, abandoning the Four Single Attribute Families and causing us heavy losses. Today, you're repeating the same mistake, collaborating with the Spirit Empire! Do your Clear Sky Sect members have no shame?"
Tang Xiao's face seemed to show a trace of shame, but he quickly calmed down.
"Yang Wudi, our Clear Sky Sect doesn't want to fight the Four Single Attribute Families. As long as you stay put, it will be fine."
"Besides, with your strength, staying put is good for you. This divine war has reached a point where you simply cannot participate."
Yang Wudi's face darkened. "Nonsense! How could people like you and Tang San appear in the Clear Sky Sect? The Clear Sky Sect of old was truly unyielding. Even if the Sect was struck, it would definitely rise up and resist."
"But when you encountered Spirit Hall, you surrendered without a fight, leading the entire Sect into seclusion, completely disregarding the lives of your affiliated families."
"Now it's even worse! You're even colluding with the Spirit Empire! You're a disgrace to your ancestors!"
Tang Xiao's face darkened upon hearing this. He didn't expect Yang Wudi to be so blunt, to say such things in public. One had to know that the situation for both the Body Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was very grim right now.
Although the Body Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect still had many experts, the strongest, Sword Bone Douluo, was already severely wounded. The other Titled Douluo were only of average strength, and they also had to face the watchful experts of the Spirit Empire, not to mention the Undead Legion summoned by Bibi Dong.
But Yang Wudi roared, "Tang Xiao, you young punk! I'm not a coward like you! I can die, but our Sect Leader absolutely cannot die! Otherwise, it will be the greatest humiliation for our Body Sect!"
After hearing Yang Wudi's words, the Body Sect Elders all let out a roar, quickly gathering together. At the same time, they summoned their Martial Souls and Soul Rings, preparing to contend with the Clear Sky Sect members.
Lin Gong, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He, and even Oscar and Feng Xiaotian, all disengaged from their previous battles with enemies and quickly gathered together, as if preparing for a great battle with the Clear Sky Sect, or perhaps wanting to do their utmost to help Yang Xiong.
The three great sects of the Heaven Dou Empire had an internal conflict, and the Spirit Empire seemed happy to see it, even subtly wanting to collectively suppress the Body Sect members.
Although Sword Bone Douluo and the others were severely wounded, they unexpectedly came to Yang Wudi's side, along with Golden Eagle Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, and Ning Rongrong. It seemed they wanted to fight the Clear Sky Sect alongside the Body Sect.
Tang Xiao's face was dark. "Sect Leader Ning, what exactly do you want? Do you also think that what my Clear Sky Sect is doing is wrong?"
Ning Fengzhi's face showed a bitter smile. "Sect Leader Tang, Yang Xiong is a Guest Elder of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Anyone who wishes to harm Yang Xiong is our greatest enemy. Even if we use the full power of our Sect, we will kill that enemy."
Tang Xiao said, "Sect Leader Ning, don't forget, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is ultimately an auxiliary sect. If you don't have the support of other sects, you will probably decline sooner or later. Are you sure you want to violate the agreement between our Upper Three Sects, violate our former alliance, and become enemies?"
Ning Fengzhi's face showed a hint of disdain. "Sect Leader Tang, how can you even say such a thing? Whether it was then or now, hasn't it always been your Clear Sky Sect that was faithless from beginning to end?"
"Back then, to preserve your strength, you didn't hesitate to abandon all your affiliated families. As a result, those families joined Spirit Hall, leading to Spirit Hall's growth and expansion."
"As for today, your Clear Sky Sect's actions make me feel ashamed. From now on, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect will have no further connection. Consider all past assistance as having been fed to dogs."
Tang Xiao's face changed dramatically. He never expected the usually gentle Ning Fengzhi to say such words in public, practically tearing away the Clear Sky Sect's fig leaf and exposing its ugliest side.
The Spirit Empire members nearby heard this and looked at the Clear Sky Sect members with eyes full of mockery and disdain.
...
Just as the three great sects were in utter chaos, the battle in the sky grew increasingly intense.
Yang Xiong ignored the blood gushing from his wound, switching the sword to his left hand. He attacked like a descending tiger, each strike even more ferocious than the last.
However, in the eyes of Tang San, Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong, Yang Xiong was merely trying to lash out before dying, or perhaps find an opportunity to escape.
Ever since Tang San ambushed Yang Xiong, the three of them—Tang San, Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong—had maintained a triangular formation, clearly intending to leave Yang Xiong no room for retreat. They were determined to kill him today; otherwise, if Yang Xiong truly became a God, it would likely spell their doom.
Yang Xiong suddenly gritted his teeth, disregarding his injuries. He directly activated his seventh Soul Skill, Asura True Body. His entire body seemed to swell rapidly, his nearly two-meter height instantly surpassing three meters.
Especially the massive blood-red phantom behind him, which now appeared completely materialized. The Asura phantom also held the Asura Demon Sword in its left hand, and the enormous Asura Demon Sword plunged down from the sky.
At that instant, countless blood-red sword shadows appeared in the sky. All the sword shadows, like a torrential downpour, attacked Tang San, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue indiscriminately and simultaneously. Each sword shadow seemed filled with endless Asura Slaughter Qi.
This was the fourth move of Yang Xiong's Asura Sword Art, named Asura Myriad Swords. Under the Asura sword shadows, it could precisely attack a large number of enemies indiscriminately.
Even Tang San and the others felt a deep sense of dread at this moment. Clearly, the power of Yang Xiong's move was immense; even Gods would find it difficult to resist easily.
Tang San directly threw out the Rakshasa Magic Scythe. The entire Rakshasa Magic Scythe seemed to magnify countless times in that instant and spun at an extremely high speed, forcefully enduring Yang Xiong's Asura Myriad Swords.
Qian Renxue slashed at the descending Asura Myriad Swords, and a massive Six-Winged Angel phantom appeared directly in front of her. This was Qian Renxue's Soul Skill: Great Angel's Protection.
In contrast, Bibi Dong surprisingly used the array that enveloped the entire Jiayuguan Pass again. Countless black energies condensed together, forming a giant Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, whose large pincers forcefully blocked Yang Xiong's Asura Myriad Swords.
Though Yang Xiong's Asura Myriad Swords was incredibly powerful, he was injured. Especially with the three of them forcefully resisting him, the clash was like a contest of spiritual and Soul Power, and a mouthful of fresh blood spilled from his lips again.
But at this very moment, the battlefield seemed to undergo a sudden drastic change. Bibi Dong, who had been controlling the entire array, appeared to have lost control of it in that instant.
