Palace Coup, Haotian EmergesXue Qinghe slowly ascended into the air, his three pairs of wings unfurling behind him. Rings of spirit rings were released one after another, yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, black. Seven spirit rings in total, along with the divine-level martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, gave Tang San a profound sense of oppression, making his breathing heavy.
He hadn't expected Qian Renxue to be so powerful.
She's only thirty years old and already a Soul Saint. Keep in mind, Hu Liena is also just thirty, and her soul power level has only just reached the Soul Emperor level. Among the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, Qian Renxue is truly the number one of her generation!
With her divine six-winged angel martial soul, this person's strength is probably such that even ordinary Soul Douluos would not be her match.
Tang San frowned deeply. In his mind, he had some estimate of Qian Renxue's strength; no matter how powerful she was, she was only at the Soul Emperor level. The seven soul rings that appeared before him clearly shattered his expectations.
"This is going to be difficult..."
Tang San murmured.
The Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo looked at Xue Qinghe with eyes full of respect and pride. This was not the satisfaction of a senior towards a junior; in their hearts, Qian Renxue was the future successor of the Grand Elder, the one they were loyal to.
Beside him, Dai Yao sensed the pressure emanating from Qian Renxue and assessed her strength.
The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul truly lived up to its divine status; its aura of light was extremely domineering. Even the Sacred White Tiger within its body felt apprehensive and roared in its spiritual world.
However, based on the strength Qian Renxue has shown so far, Dai Yao is still confident that he can defeat her.
In mid-air, Xue Qinghe did not reveal her true appearance. In her heart, these people before her were not worthy to see her true face. Rings of golden ripples slowly spread out, and everyone except Dai Yao felt their soul power, and even their martial souls, being suppressed.
Xue Qinghe looked down at Tang San with a detached expression, a disdainful sneer playing on his lips:
"Tang San, I admire your saying, 'Better to be a broken piece of jade than a whole piece of tile.' I hope that after you see my true strength, you won't lose your fighting spirit, otherwise, it will be too boring for me."
For some reason, Qian Renxue's heart would tremble inexplicably whenever she heard the words "better to be a broken jade than a whole tile," as if these words were deeply embedded in her memory in her past life.
Immediately, she turned to look at Dai Yao and said calmly:
"You've always considered yourself a genius. Today, I'll show you what a true genius is!"
Dai Yao could not deny it.
Tang San also glanced at the masked 'Li Feiyu'. Xue Qinghe actually said such a thing to him—who exactly was this person? Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, he coldly said:
"Hmph, don't bother. Today, it's either you or me who dies!"
Xue Qinghe smiled coldly, his left hand behind his back, and slowly extended his right hand, spreading his five fingers. At the same time, behind Xue Qinghe, a holy angel statue also stretched out its hand. The two phantoms gradually merged, and when they merged, a dazzling golden beam of light shot towards Tang San.
In Tang San's eyes, Xue Qinghe's entire body turned golden, like a celestial being.
An intense sense of oppression swept over him, and Tang San even felt his internal organs tremble, letting out a mournful cry. Xue Qinghe's casual strike had brought him such immense pressure, demonstrating the vast difference in their strength.
"Xue Qinghe's strength is too great. Even my Killing God Domain was suppressed. Those pale golden ripples must also be a kind of magical domain. If I become a Soul Saint, I might be able to fight her. But now there is a whole major realm difference between us. I am no match for her at all."
Tang San's mind raced, his soul power surged, and his Xuan Tian Gong circulated rapidly. A faint moisture even evaporated from his skin.
Just as the golden light was about to envelop Tang San's body, in a flash, the Blue Silver Emperor in Tang San's hand grew wildly, completely enveloping him. Two additional, thickest strands of Blue Silver Grass extended, binding the palace's dome taut and straight.
Like two elastic bands, Tang San, who was wrapped in the Blue Silver Emperor, was launched into the sky!
Bang!
Countless shards of glass fell from the dome and crashed to the ground. Qian Renxue immediately gave chase, followed by Serpent Spear Douluo, Porcupine Douluo, and Dai Yao.
Lying on his hospital bed, Emperor Xueye, though unprotected, had a blue protective shield emanating from his body, keeping all the broken glass at bay.
A sphere formed from Blue Silver Grass rose higher and higher as Tang San swiftly retrieved a spare firework signal from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Bright Moon.
Just as the cocoon formed by the Blue Silver Emperor burst open, a firework shot into the sky like lightning, and with a pop, a magnificent firework bloomed.
Countless people in Tiandou City noticed this scene.
At the Fourth Prince's Palace, upon seeing the fireworks in full bloom, five streaks of light flashed towards the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace. The sonic boom of the explosion moved countless powerful figures in Heavenly Dou City. At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi stared blankly at the gradually fading fireworks.
Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance and immediately ordered everyone in the Qinglian Sect to return to the sect. Except for some spies in the information department, no one was allowed to go out.
Without hesitation, Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flander from Shrek Academy sped towards the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, golden light slowly gathering on their bodies.
In an instant, the entire Heavenly Dou City sprang into action. All forces and all preparations began to move as the fireworks burst forth.
······
After ascending into the air, Xue Qinghe looked at Tang San with disdain, put his hands behind his back, and said indifferently:
"Tang San, I overestimated you. You don't even have the courage to fight. It seems that even with twin martial souls, you are nothing but a coward. You are not worthy to be my opponent."
The Serpent Spear and the Porcupine rose into the sky, while Dai Yao, in order to avoid revealing his identity, did not release the White Tiger Eight Wings. He simply stood on the rooftop, looking up at the group of people confronting each other in the sky.
"Damn, I didn't expect Tang San to be so shameless. He agreed to a one-on-one fight, but he took advantage of the moment when everyone was off guard to release the signal."
Dai Yao secretly grumbled to himself that Tang San had once again shattered the lower limit of his expectations of Tang San's bottom line.
In the original work, Dugu Bo risked his life to save him, but he embezzled his family's wealth; he was not allowed to interfere with the lower realm, but he turned Douluo Continent into his backyard; he used his position to settle personal scores and wipe out the Spirit Hall, but insisted on defining the Spirit Hall as evil; he attacked Ghost Douluo one minute and then said that he disdained to attack.
Not to mention the incredible feat of splitting his daughter in two and then merging them back together...
He was eager to see what Tang San would say next.
In the sky, Tang San looked at Xue Qinghe, who had a disdainful expression, and sneered:
"Where is the fairness? For your Spirit Hall, such an evil organization, annihilating you by any means necessary is the greatest justice!"
Below, Dai Yao was almost disgusted, but seeing that Qian Renxue's face showed no sign of discomfort, as if she agreed with Tang San's words, he couldn't help but want to curse:
"Are you brainless? Just because Tang San says you're evil, you're evil? And Snake Spear and Porcupine, those two idiots, have you lived to the point of being dogs? Don't you even know how to refute me?"
Xue Qinghe said calmly:
"Tang San, you've really tested my already limited patience. Since you're so eager to die, I'll give you a quick death. Elder Serpent Spear, Elder Porcupine, make your move."
Xue Qinghe didn't take Tang San's plea for help seriously at all. Now that she was confident of victory, what kind of reinforcements could a nobody like Tang San possibly have? They were nothing but a bunch of worthless idiots.
Serpent Spear Douluo raised his hand, and a long spear appeared in his hand. The sharp aura made Tang San's eyelids twitch.
It was as if a single, gentle blow could pierce him through.
But in the next moment, his unease subsided. Meanwhile, the calm expressions of Serpent Spear and Porcupine suddenly changed drastically! Beside them, Xue Qinghe's confident look finally disappeared, replaced by extreme solemnity.
Five streaks of light streaked across the sky in the distance. Each of them was surrounded by nine spirit rings, the light emanating from the black spirit rings seemingly dyeing the sky black, and their vast aura was undisguised, rippling outwards like ocean waves.
The Clear Sky Sect has five Title Douluos!
In the Heaven Dou Imperial City, countless people were stunned by this scene. The Heaven Dou nobles, the Advanced Soul Master Academy, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Azure Lotus School were all plunged into immense shock.
Unexpectedly, the Clear Sky Sect, which had been in seclusion for more than twenty years, actually produced five Title Douluo! No wonder it was once the number one sect in the world! Many older people finally remembered the name that was engraved deep in their hearts but had not been mentioned for many years: Clear Sky Sect.
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi stared blankly at the five streaks of light flashing across the sky, falling into a long silence, just like Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
After a long pause, he finally exhaled a heavy breath and smiled helplessly:
"If I'm not mistaken, these five Title Douluos are the second-generation elders of the Clear Sky Sect back then. It seems that the more than ten years of forbearance have made these seniors more courageous and skilled, breaking through the level 90 barrier. Adding the Howling Sky Douluo and the Clear Sky Douluo from back then, the Clear Sky Sect alone actually possesses strength comparable to the Spirit Hall, which is truly unbelievable."
"Back then, I actually thought I could compete for the title of the number one sect in the world. It's really laughable."
Sword Douluo smiled, though with a hint of helplessness in his expression.
"Feng Zhi, you don't need to underestimate yourself. The Haotian Sect has indeed increased in strength, but we are not inferior. Your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul has further enhanced our strength. If the three of us make a move, it will not be difficult to stop those five guys."
Bone Douluo nodded as well.
Ning Fengzhi laughed and said, "Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu, you don't need to comfort me. I won't be so easily discouraged. Right now, the most important thing is that we need to hurry to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace to help Dai Yao. If I'm not mistaken, these people from the Clear Sky Sect are heading for the Spirit Hall."
"At that time, Dai Yao will not be able to escape."
Upon receiving the news of the sect's relocation, he immediately knew that Dai Yao was in Tiandou City, and that the recent upheaval in the imperial palace was very likely related to Dai Yao.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo exchanged a glance and nodded. In their hearts, Dai Yao was their grandson-in-law, and they had to go to his rescue if he was in danger.
Just then, footsteps came from outside the waterside pavilion. Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong walked in together, followed by Dugu Bo.
"Sect Leader Dugu, what brings you here?"
Ning Fengzhi glanced at the three of them and smiled elegantly.
Dugu Yan said without any hesitation, "Sect Leader Ning, please do not go to the palace. What we need to do now is to immediately relocate the sect's disciples. Once you participate in the royal family's struggle, you will surely be hated by the royal family. At that time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will definitely suffer heavy losses."
"This is the last thing Dai Yao wanted to see."
Ning Fengzhi was slightly taken aback, moved by Dai Yao's righteousness but also worried about Dai Yao's current predicament. He glanced at Dugu Yan several times before speaking:
"Sect Leader Dugu, if I remember correctly, you are Dai Yao's wife. But why are you disregarding Dai Yao's safety when he is surrounded?"
Dugu Yan gritted her teeth slightly. How could she not want to save Dai Yao? However, Dai Yao had clearly stated in his letter that in the event of an accident, no one was allowed to rescue him, and they must immediately transfer to another sect.
Dugu Yan met Ning Fengzhi's questioning gaze and said in a deep voice:
"Sect Leader Ning, it's not that I don't want to save him. But in his heart, the Qinglian Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are more important than his own safety. Therefore, I will follow his instructions and immediately transfer the sect instead of going to save him."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi finally understood why Dai Yao had appointed Dugu Yan as the acting sect leader of the Qinglian Sect.
He smiled and looked at Ning Rongrong, asking:
"Rongrong, what about you?"
Ning Rongrong smiled gently and said, "Dad, I think Sister Yan is right. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's identity is not suitable for getting involved in the royal struggle. Besides, I believe Dai Yao will definitely come back safely."
Dai Yao's greatest trump card was his mysterious Azure Lotus Martial Soul. Although Ning Rongrong only caught a glimpse of it when she absorbed the Golden Lotus, she could never forget the terrifying power of the Azure Lotus Martial Soul. Because of this, she firmly believed that Dai Yao would return safely.
Ning Fengzhi and the two Title Douluos were somewhat stunned, wondering where Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong's confidence came from. Those were five Title Douluos, all wielding the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul; they were top-tier figures among their generation. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be on high alert if these people made a move.
After a moment of silence, suppressing his doubts, he smiled and said:
"In that case, let's leave the Heavenly Dou Empire immediately."
······
Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.
Sensing the five powerful auras, everyone was momentarily stunned, but at that moment, the three of them reacted almost simultaneously.
Tang San, Xue Qinghe, and Dai Yao shouted at the same time:
"Emperor Xueye!"
The Snow Night Emperor is the key figure in this matter.
On the Spirit Hall's side, as long as they kill Emperor Xue Ye, without his prestige, Tang San and his group will have no way to turn the tide, and all the court officials and nobles will still be loyal to Xue Qinghe. On the other hand, for Tang San and Xue Beng's side, with Emperor Xue Ye dead, there will be no one with enough prestige to vindicate them, and even if they defeat Xue Qinghe, they will not be able to gain much support.
Although they held great power in the Heavenly Dou Empire, many nobles would not listen to them.
The three reacted simultaneously. Dai Yao, being on the rooftop, was closest to Emperor Xue Ye, followed closely by Qian Renxue. Her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul granted her unimaginable speed. Tang San, however, was at the very back.
The three men's shouts startled the stunned Serpent Spear and Porcupine. Not far away, the five elders of the Haotian Sect shouted at the same time, and five black giant hammers flew out with a deafening roar, smashing towards Emperor Xueye's palace.
They used their Martial Soul True Forms without hesitation!
The Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit in the world, has reappeared in the world. Its first appearance in more than 20 years has given everyone an unforgettable shock.
Above the sky, dark light filled the air. Five giant hammers, like five meteorites falling from the heavens, carried an aura of destruction, causing everyone to halt their advance towards Emperor Xueye. The five Haotian Hammers were about to strike Emperor Xueye; if anyone approached, even a slight touch would mean certain death!
Even a titled Douluo wouldn't dare to take the Clear Sky Hammer head-on. The consequences of taking the Clear Sky Hammer head-on had already taught everyone a lesson during the hunt for Tang Hao.
However, there was only one person who did not stop his original intention to become the Great Emperor of Snowy Night.
That's Dai Yao.
To everyone's eyes, the masked figure raised his hand, and a long, azure lotus spear appeared in his grasp. With unstoppable momentum, ignoring the five Haotian Hammers hurtling towards him from behind, he thrust towards the paralyzed Snow Night Emperor lying on his sickbed…
Tang San's pupils constricted sharply upon seeing the Green Lotus Spear in the masked man's hand! (End of Chapter)
