Tang Xiao grasped the Hao Tian Hammer and with one strike, sent the Elder of the Hall of Martial Souls retreating several steps...
The situation for the others was quite similar; as the power levels of the elders from both the Martial Soul Hall and the Hao Tian Clan were almost identical, it was difficult to determine a winner in a short period of time.
However, with one additional Titled Douluo on the Hao Tian Clan's side, the Martial Soul Hall was essentially being pressed into a defensive position, showing a faint trend of eventual defeat...
A guest elder furrowed his brow and said, "Why hasn't His Highness the Holy Son and the others arrived yet? At this rate, we're no match for this group from the Hao Tian Clan."
Elder Black Bear angrily said, "If it weren't for them having one more elder at the level of a Titled Douluo, how could we be so frustrated!"
When another guest elder felt the familiar rush of two oncoming soul power fluctuations, the corner of his mouth turned up slightly, "Citun and the Elder with the Snake Spear have arrived! Now, it's time for these arrogant people from the Hao Tian Clan to experience what we just felt."
Arriving shortly after, Citun and the Snake Spear looked at the current situation, immediately released their Martial Souls, and stood beside the Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls...
At this moment, the elders and guest elders all heaved a sigh of relief, some resentfully saying, "You two finally arrived, but where is His Highness the Holy Son?"
With a helpless look, the Elder with the Snake Spear said, "Those soul masters have too low of a Soul Power rank, without His Highness the Holy Son paving the way for them, I'm afraid they won't be able to make it here before suffering heavy losses!"
Citun coldly stated, "Everyone hold on a bit longer, they're about to arrive!"
In contrast to the Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls, who were filled with fighting spirit due to Citun and the Snake Spear's arrival...
The situation for the Hao Tian Clan had become somewhat difficult...
What had been an advantageous six against five had been dragged out by the Martial Soul Hall Elders into a seven against six...
Fighting in such circumstances put them at a definite disadvantage, but in order to cover for the retreat of the Hao Tian Clan, they had no choice but to hold their ground!
An elder grimly said, "The arrival of two more Hyper Douluos on the opposing side will likely put us at a disadvantage!"
Another elder expressed concern, "It's uncertain how far the Clear Sky Sect disciples have escaped. Once we retreat, the situation will become perilous!"
Bowing his head in deep thought, Tang Xiao took a deep breath, looked up, and said solemnly, "Elders, please go ahead and leave. I will hold back the seven of them!"
Upon hearing this, all the Hao Tian Sect Elders were utterly shocked...
Tang Xiao was actually planning to face seven adversaries alone! His fate was clear without even thinking about it!
They vehemently protested, "How can this be possible? You are the Sect Master of our Hao Tian Clan, we can't let this happen!"
"That's right. If the Sect Master of the Hao Tian Clan is gone, then what's the point of the Hao Tian Clan's existence?"
"To abandon our Sect Master and flee for our lives, this is simply trampling over our dignity!!"
Tang Xiao, of course, knew they would not easily agree, and explained, "But if that Xu Sheng guy comes, none of us will be able to escape!!"
The man, whom even his second brother called strong, if he were in the rear, then none of the Hao Tian Sect Elders present would be able to leave alive.
As the Sect Master of the Hao Tian Clan, he naturally had access to the Hao Tian Clan's secret techniques...
Therefore, even though he was only a level-96 Titled Douluo, when facing opponents of the same level, he was confident he could severely injure three or four of the Martial Soul Hall Elders in front of him, temporarily incapacitating them!
If so, the Martial Soul Hall Elders would certainly not dare to risk pursuing the fleeing disciples of the Hao Tian Clan, especially since, in addition to him, there were six other Titled Douluos!!
The elders started showing signs of struggle on their faces, "But...!"
Tang Xiao, with an authoritative air, slammed the Hao Tian Hammer onto the ground and angrily said, "Now there's no 'but' about it! Hurry up and go! The future of the Hao Tian Clan will depend on the protection of the elders!!"
The eyes of the Hao Tian Sect Elders reddened. After exchanging glances, they all charged toward the rear...
Leaving only Tang Xiao, with a fearless expression and the Hao Tian Hammer at his feet, to arrogantly block the path of the Martial Soul Hall Elders.
It was then that the Elders of the Spirit Hall realized the Hao Tian Sect Elders were obviously preparing to flee, and they immediately shouted, "Attack! Quickly take down this Sect Master of the Hao Tian Clan and then pursue the others!! Don't let the rest escape!"
As they finished speaking, seven Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls and guest elders unleashed a terrifying murderous intent and charged towards Tang Xiao…
…
Tang Xiao gazed coldly at the seven people attacking him and grasped the Blood-Colored Haotian Hammer beneath his feet!
Suddenly, a hand slapped onto his shoulder with a fierce smack…
Tang Xiao immediately turned, and upon seeing that the newcomer was the limbless Tang Hao, he said in astonishment, "Second Brother!! How did you get here? Take the chance to leave now; I've got this!!"
He remembered knocking out Tang Hao and having him leave with the Hao Tian Sect clan members! How could this be…
And his second brother, could it be that he had run all this distance just by using one leg!!!
All of a sudden, he felt utterly incompetent as an older brother, as if countless steel nails were being hammered into his heart…
A rare smile appeared on Tang Hao's face, "Big Brother, after so many years, you're still so sentimental? With the two of us together, what is there to fear?"
Tang Xiao looked at the knowing smile that appeared on Tang Hao's face for the very first time…
All the doubts in his heart seemed to dissolve away.
Having come to a realization, Tang Xiao also began to laugh and when his gaze fell upon the seven Elders of the Spirit Hall, his whole being exuded boundless intent to kill, "You're right, Second Brother, we're dead either way, so it's better for the two of us, renowned as the Double Douluo of one sect on the Continent, to burst forth with a bit of value!! It's also nice to have company on the Yellow Springs Road."
Tang Hao too gripped the giant Blood-Colored Hammer in his hand, and looking at the seven figures attacking, he said in an exceedingly icy tone, "That's more like it. The Hao Tian Sect never had cowards!"
…
An Elder, who was attacking in the direction of Tang Xiao and his companion, frowned upon seeing the sudden appearance of Tang Hao, "Who is that disabled fellow? Has the Hao Tian Sect resorted to sending out the disabled to buy time now?"
The Snake Spear and Citun widened their pupils in shock, "No! That's… Hao Tian Douluo Tang Hao!!"
One of the guest elders's eyes shimmered with a cold light, "It looks like this Tang Hao has had his limbs crippled by someone; today we'll take care of them all at once!"
If it were Tang Hao at his peak, they certainly wouldn't stand a chance, but the Tang Hao in front of them only had the rank of a Soul Sage!
Obviously, it was due to the loss of his limbs!
"Third soul skill…"
"Seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body!"
"Eighth soul skill! …"
…
Xu Sheng who was still leading the Spirit Hall soul masters at the rear felt this familiar soul power fluctuation and his pupils contracted sharply, "This Soul Sage's soul power fluctuation is actually… Tang Hao!"
In an instant, Xu Sheng chose to no longer pay attention to the soul masters of the Hall of Martial Souls behind him and burst forth with terrifying speed towards the location of the Elders of the Spirit Hall…
If it were just the Elders of the Hao Tian Sect, Xu Sheng wouldn't have been worried at all!
But now, having sensed Tang Hao's soul power fluctuation of merely a Soul Sage, everything was clearly not so simple anymore!!
Tang Hao, using Burst Ring even if his soul power rank was only that of a Soul Sage!
The power he could unleash was far beyond what the Elders of the Spirit Hall could easily withstand!!
More importantly, beside Tang Hao was a Hyper Douluo!
A foreboding feeling began to surface in Xu Sheng's heart…
