232 Chapter 231 Siege
"Clear Sky Body Protection!" Tang Hao's waist turned around, and the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul quickly swept around a full circle, the powerful wind pressure coupled with the majestic spirit power surging around his body immediately formed a black air shield around his body, violently colliding with the incoming icy winds and white rays of light.
"Plop plop" layer after layer of ice debris flew.
Right at this moment.
"Limit Break! Ominous Moon Light... Slash!" With Spirit Saint cultivation, iterated sword energy, body force generation skill, Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear's External Spirit Bone, Refining Jade Hands, plus relying on soul power to wield the sword at the Limit Break Realm, a giant blade light with a length of nearly thirty meters instantly came to the forefront.
"Boom!" The violent collision sound resounded through the clouds, and Tang Hao, who had his feet in the empty air and had limited borrowed power, was slashed away on the spot.
'This kind of power, even an average Titled Douluo can't pull it off' At the same time as he was horrified inwardly, killing intent rose even more, at such a young age he could wield an attack of such intensity, if he truly advanced to Spirit Saint, or even Titled Douluo, what kind of sight would that be?
Without a doubt, he would definitely be a huge threat to his child and the Clear Sky Clan.
'This kind of attack intensity!?' Bai He and Tai Tan, who were bound and sprawled on the ground in the distance, also had shocked expressions on their faces.
Even Yang Wudi and the others around Lin Manshan were shocked, and then their eyes showed fervour.
Having such a powerful grandson-in-law, son-in-law, and comrade is indeed a great fortune. Not to mention being taken flying, when he grew up, they would be able to walk horizontally on the continent.
With a flicker in his eyes, Yang Wudi immediately returned to his senses and defiantly threw out the Martial Soul in his hand, "Eighth Spirit Skill, Soul Breaking Strike!" Just as soon as it left his hand, the Soul Breaking Spear instantly transformed into a black light, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Tang Hao, who had been sent flying and was about to crash into the mountain wall.
"Damn it!" Tang Hao's forehead veins bulged, and he twisted his body strongly to swing out the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
There was an ear-piercing friction sound of clanking, and light shot out in all directions.
Then, "Rumble!" A violent explosion occurred.
The third spirit skill is Explosion! Regardless of piercing any object, the spirit power would generate a violent explosive force, and the more spirit power condensed, the stronger the destructive force generated by the explosion.
Without a doubt, Yang Wudi's eighth spirit skill, also had the explosive effect of the third spirit skill added to it.
'Damn it!' Tang Hao was immediately shaken by this powerful impact and flew backwards, the upper half of his clothes turning into pieces, revealing bloodied and gnarled muscles, the whole person looking ragged, as wretched as he could be.
Before he could stabilize his body, "Ninth Spirit Skill, Jade Phosphor Divine Light." A turquoise-coloured light followed.
"Limit Break! Ominous Extreme Moon Light!" Another blade light that was almost in a straight line came.
This attack focused on a single point had been used by Lin Manshan when he dealt with his child Tang San in the arena, and Tang Hao recognized it almost instantly.
"Ahh!" With a loud shout, his figure halted. Holding the hammer in both hands, his spirit power instantly erupted, and the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Spirit in his hand grew larger in the blink of an eye, like a small mountain.
Immediately afterwards, there was Tang Hao's explosive shout filled with rage.
"Great Sumeru Hammer!"
"Boom!" Two green lights bloomed at the same time, a violent roar exploded in the sky, and the blazing light carried horrifying air waves which shook the mountain walls on both sides and cracked them.
Dugu Bo, Lin Manshan and the others who were flying in the distant sky on the opposite side were also shaken and flew backwards for a short distance.
Unfortunately, the Hammer was too large, and the poisonous mist was swept away before it could touch the person... Dugu Bo thought darkly that it was a pity.
In the next second, a black light shot out from the constantly falling rocks and dust and swept towards Bai He and Tai Tan.
Seeing this, Lin Manshan silently pulled out the image-retaining stone and followed Dugu Bo in pursuit.
And in the distance, surprise flared in Tai Tan's eyes.
'Master is coming to save me.'
Bai He at his side thought the same, hope welling up in his eyes.
Then, the next moment, the broad hammer surface reflected in the horror-filled pupils, "Bam!" Consciousness disappeared into the darkness.
"Bam!" Another sound. Tai Tan, whose face was horrified and who kept twisting his body to struggle, joined his friends' footsteps.
With my physical condition, I can't support a high-intensity battle anymore. Bringing along Bai He and Tai Tan would only delay the speed of my escape. But if I don't, and if the two are brought back by Dugu Bo, the matter of me leading a siege will be exposed, which will definitely have an impact on the clan's reputation. Only by not leaving any survivors can I ensure that the matter won't be exposed, rendering Dugu Bo without proof. Besides, even if I didn't kill them, Dugu Bo wouldn't let the two go. In between his thoughts, his figure swept past the corpse.
For the sake of the clan, this was a sacrifice that had to be made.
"Heh, as expected." Lin Manshan sneered, utilizing his Vanishing Art to travel closely behind him.
'Why would you bother in the first place when it had been this obvious? I said long ago that Tang Hao father and son weren't worth following.' Standing on the back of the Shui Zilu, Yang Wudi glanced at the two people who were lying on the ground and had already been turned into mush, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes.
Then he shook his head slightly and was carried along by Shui Zilu as he glided over. The rest of the people glanced at them and then quickly swept past.
As they circled around the corner, they were just in time to see Tang Hao explode his aura to shake the frozen and stunned disciples of the two clans on the ground into mush.
'As expected of Man'er, he left the disciples of the two clans alive and forced Tang Hao to flee in this direction. In order not to let the plan leak out, Tang Hao would definitely kill the disciples of the two clans who still had a trace of breath, killing them all.'
Bai Xue and Shui Chaozong exchanged glances and slowed down their flight speed, the purpose had been achieved, there was no need to chase any further.
All of this had already been recorded by their son-in-law in the image-retaining stone.
'Zhu Zhuyu broke through the realm and needed to hunt for the spirit ring, Dugu Bo and Lin Manshan led the team to the Sunset Forest. After the few people left, the academy accidentally learned that Tang Hao was planning to launch a siege when the few people were on their way back, so they went ahead and rushed to notify them in advance, laying out a counter-siege.
Because of Yang Wudi and Niu Gao's relationship with them, Dugu Bo decided to let the two clans off the hook, capturing them first and then disposing of them when they returned. Therefore, they did not kill during the fight but rather knocked out all the weak ones.
As for Tai Tan and Bai He, their cultivation was too high, so in order to avoid the two escaping, they were thus tied up and brought along in the siege against Tang Hao. For the convenience of the battle, they were thrown aside first.
Afterwards, Tang Hao could not defeat the crowd's siege, and to avoid leaking the news of the siege, he killed people in the process of escaping.
Bai He, Tai Tan and the accompanying clansmen were all killed. All of them were killed by Tang Hao, which had nothing to do with Skywalker Academy. There are image retention stones to prove it, if you don't believe us, take a look.'
This was the plan that everyone had discussed, but of course, it was only one of the possibilities that everyone had hypothesized in the discussion.
But now, the possibility turned into reality.
They could completely guess how the Strength Clan and the Speed Clan would react next after seeing the image-retaining stone.
The two clans had been abandoned by the Clear Sky Clan before because of Tang Hao, and now they had been abandoned again, and the Clan Leaders and the clansmen who followed them were all brutally killed by Tang Hao.
With these two feuds added together, there would only be hatred between the two clans and Tang Hao as well as the Clear Sky Clan in the future, with no room for manoeuvre.
As for Skywalker Academy, it shares a common mortal enemy with the two clans.
Before, only because of Yang Wudi's relationship, Dugu Bo decided to leave Bai He, Tai Tan and the others alive, which was undoubtedly a kind of nostalgia for old times and favours. It was just that Tang Hao was not a decent person and killed all of them. Therefore, since there is a common enemy, the relationship between the four clans can once again be good. Now that Bai He and Tai Tan were dead, the Strength Clan and the Speed Clan were leaderless and had no high-end combat power to protect themselves. Why don't they follow the Breaking Clan and the Defense Clan for the time being?
In this situation, as long as Yang Wudi and Niu Gao intervened, the chances of Strength and Speed Clan being integrated were extremely high.
As for Tang Hao, with the image-retaining stone as proof, he couldn't wash his hands off this matter no matter what. After all, people were indeed killed by Tang Hao.
It wasn't that they hadn't thought of directly exterminating the Strength and Speed Clans, but the two clans together had close to 1,000 people, including the old, young, women and children. Although there was a reason for what happened, as an academy with the purpose of providing education, especially when the academy had just been created and had yet to formally enrol students, directly exterminating the two spirit master clans wasn't a glamorous history by any means.
But without extermination, even if you abolish the martial soul, who can say that the offspring will not awaken a martial soul capable of cultivation, and then give birth to a vengeful mind?
Extermination is not good for the reputation, and not exterminating has hidden danger, for the current Skywalker Academy, neither is a good choice.
Whereas diverting hatred and integrating and reforming would undoubtedly become the best choice.
In any case, there are several hundred spirit masters, placed on the continent, it is also considered to be a not-so insignificant force.
Giving Tang Hao father and son another enemy aside, they could still work and earn income during the usual time, no matter how, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
In between his thoughts, Lin Manshan also landed on the ground and withdrew his spirit power, then he turned his head to look at Yang Wudi and sighed, "Uncle Yang, I'm sorry, this is the only way I can think of to avoid killing innocents and preserve the strength and speed clans."
"I understand." Yang Wudi nodded, "This might also be the best ending for the strength and speed clans."
The four clans had been intertwined for several generations, had intermarried long ago, and shared a bloodline tie with each other, if all of them were to be killed, especially those innocent old, young, women, and children, he would indeed feel a bit heartbroken. Not killing will leave hidden dangers, which for a clan, is not a good thing.
At the moment, the current scenario was already moving in a good direction.
"I really didn't expect that Tang Hao would actually do this." Dugu Bo skimmed his mouth.
Yang Wudi laughed coldly at once, "Heh, it's not the first time he has done this kind of unsavoury thing."
Dugu Bo nodded and patted Yang Wudi's shoulder, "Tidy up, let's go back."
"Hm." Yang Wudi nodded.
"Grandpa, here." Lin Manshan pulled out the image-retaining stone and handed it to Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo nodded his head and took it, putting it into the spirit tool.
After simply collecting the corpses on the ground, they picked up Zhu Zhuyun three girls and made their way back to the horses that had been spared.
Getting on the horse, he continued on his way.
On the other hand, seeing that no one was chasing after him, Tang Hao didn't stop but continued to run. Only after coming to a cave in a mountain wall, walking inside and quickly laying things out, did he withdraw his spirit power.
"Cough." A strong sense of weakness immediately hit his body.
"Pfft." A mouthful of blood was then sprayed out.
"Dugu Bo! Lin Manshan! And Yang Wudi," He thumped his fist on the ground and muttered through clenched teeth.
Then he sat down on his knees and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.
After an unknown amount of time, he woke up, slightly clenched his fists, sensed his own injuries, and furrowed his brows.
'In my current condition, I am already incapable of engaging in another high-intensity battle, if I fail to heal the bruises and expel bad blood, even with the protection of a full matching spirit bone, I could only suppress the hidden injuries for 3 years, I'm afraid that this is already the maximum duration. When I go back, I must speed up the special training for Xiao San, and when he breaks through level 50, I will escort him to the Killing City to ensure that he comes out within 3 years.'
If he forced out the bad blood now and his strength dropped greatly, he would not have the strength to shelter his child in the Killing City.
'In addition, with my injuries once again aggravating today, when I force out the blood clots, I will lose too much blood, and I'm afraid that my body will fall into an unprecedented weakness.' Between his thoughts, his face slightly relaxed, "It's a good thing that Xiao San's external spirit bone will be able to develop the ability to absorb and reserve life energy in the future, at that time, with a constant injection of life energy, my body should be able to recover quickly."
'Moreover, with the protection of my spirit bones, I can afford to wait.'
'It's just a pity that Head Spirit Bone obtained by Lin Manshan wasn't snatched, and I don't have the energy to find another replacement right now, so it seems that I can only let Xiao San absorb that piece that Shi Nian dropped. As for Yuehua's side, there's no need to worry for now.'
Thinking in this manner, he took out food from his spirit tool and began to eat.
After eating, he continued to meditate and recover.
