Bloodbath of the Haotian Sect
Chapter 14 Bloodbath of the Haotian Sect
Although the Haotian Sect's sect walls are tall and majestic, offering some protection to ordinary people or low-level Soul Masters, their effectiveness against high-level Soul Masters is very limited.
Unfortunately, most of the inner disciples of the Clear Sky Sect possess the Clear Sky Hammer as their martial soul, lacking ranged attack power and the hidden weapons like Tang San's, making them unable to assist in the sect's defense.
In just a quarter of an hour, the sect's city walls had fallen, and all the soul masters were drawn into battle.
Currently, the Clear Sky Sect has four Title Douluos: Tang Zhen (level 95), the First Elder (level 93), the Second Elder (level 92), and Tang Xiao (level 91). Their high-end combat strength far surpasses that of other sects. Coupled with the power of the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul and the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes inherited by the Clear Sky Sect, it is almost impossible for a Title Douluo of the same level to defeat a Title Douluo with the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul in a one-on-one fight.
However, the Spirit Hall, whether from some prior information or not, already knew the number and level of the Title Douluos within the Clear Sky Sect. This time, they specially dispatched eight Title Douluos, two more than the six they had originally discovered.
Title Douluo are extremely powerful, far surpassing Soul Douluo or low-level Soul Masters in strength and danger. This forced Tang Zhen and the elders to come out and face them in advance, otherwise they would be watching their own disciples being slaughtered.
Tang Zhen, in particular, is extremely powerful despite being only level 95. Most level 96 Soul Masters are no match for him.
For a master like Tang Zhen, the Spirit Hall had naturally already devised a strategy and taken measures.
Tang Zhen faced two level 96 titled Douluo, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, who were clearly carefully prepared by the Spirit Hall.
Both Qianjun and Jiangmo, both titled Douluo, are level 96, with a soul power one level higher than Tang Zhen's. Moreover, both of them possess top-grade weapon spirits—the Panlong Staff, which in some ways is no weaker than the Haotian Hammer.
Even though the Haotian Hammer's Haotian Nine Absolute Techniques were exquisite, it was still in grave danger and somewhat overwhelmed by the attacks of the two.
Although the First Elder, the Second Elder, and Tang Xiao are all Title Douluo, their highest level is only 93, so their soul power level is not advantageous. Their only advantage is their martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, and the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate techniques.
However, the Spirit Hall was clearly prepared. Everyone was facing two Title Douluos. Although their spirit power was not much higher than theirs, it was enough to restrain them. Even Tang Xiao could not win quickly.
In the original story, Tang Xiao was able to defeat three Title Douluos simultaneously by relying on the Haotian Formation, making him the master of the Haotian Nine Absolutes. However, he has only recently become a Title Douluo and does not yet possess such exaggerated strength.
What's even more tragic for the Clear Sky Sect is that they have to face countless Soul Masters. This time, the number of Soul Masters attacking the Clear Sky Sect is as high as seven or eight thousand, including a large number of Soul Douluos and Soul Saints. They simply don't want to give the Clear Sky Sect any way out.
In just one hour, the entire Haotian Sect was reduced to ruins, with flames raging everywhere. The sounds of fighting and screams filled the air.
It's impossible to count how many direct disciples and soul masters died in this war, but the casualty rate was definitely very high. Even the First and Second Elders, due to their advanced age, were surrounded and faced perilous situations, and both suffered considerable injuries.
Tang Zhen himself was under immense pressure. The two Title Douluos, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, cooperated extremely well and could complement each other in offense and defense. Every time Tang Zhen attacked, one of them would defend while the other attacked from different angles. It was even more stressful than fighting three Level 96 Title Douluos.
Tang Xiao, on the other hand, faced relatively less pressure. At 59 years old, he was at the peak of his physical strength, in terms of soul power, age, and stamina. He was more than capable of handling two Title Douluos, but he didn't have the energy to help others. However, the screams of Clear Sky Sect disciples filled the air, and more were dying at any moment, making it impossible for the four of them to concentrate on the battle.
With a tremendous roar, the Grand Elder's Clear Sky Hammer collided with a Title Douluo with a Demon Bear Martial Soul. The Grand Elder used his seventh soul skill, Weapon Soul True Body, while the Title Douluo used his Martial Soul True Body.
A massive Haotian Hammer slammed into a giant demonic bear tens of meters tall. The two were evenly matched in their attack. However, taking advantage of the Grand Elder's relative weakness and distraction after using his weapon spirit form, a giant ghost leopard appeared out of nowhere and suddenly appeared in front of the Grand Elder, grabbing him directly. Two huge wounds appeared on the Grand Elder's body, so deep that the bone was visible, and even his left hand was severed.
Seeing such a good opportunity, the two opponents attacked relentlessly, determined to take down the Grand Elder in one fell swoop. In particular, the Ghost Leopard Douluo on the other side was extremely fast and impossible to defend against.
Seeing this, Tang Zhen used his ninth soul skill to withstand a blow from Thousand-Pound Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo, then flew towards the Grand Elder in an attempt to come to his aid.
Qianjun and Jiangmo also knew Tang Zhen's intentions and immediately gave chase.
The titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall seemed to have been prepared. In that instant, the two titled Douluo, Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard, who were originally besieging the Grand Elder, abandoned the fleeing Grand Elder and rushed towards Tang Zhen instead. In this short period of time, Tang Zhen had to face four titled Douluo at the same time.
The previously relatively even situation collapsed instantly, and Tang Zhen had to fight four opponents alone. The members of the Spirit Hall also understood that Tang Zhen was the spiritual leader of the entire Clear Sky Sect.
Under the siege of four Title Douluos, Tang Zhen was quickly overwhelmed. In particular, Ghost Leopard Douluo, whose speed far surpassed Tang Zhen's, launched multiple sneak attacks while Tang Zhen was fighting the other three, causing multiple injuries to Tang Zhen in a short period of time.
Seeing this, the other three also used their soul skills on Tang Zhen as if they were free.
At the same time, the Second Elder, due to his advanced age, was also seriously injured.
Seeing the sect's dire state and its imminent collapse, Tang Zhen immediately began to use his last trump card.
Multiple spirit rings on Tang Zhen's Clear Sky Hammer exploded, causing the hammer to rapidly grow larger until it was the size of a mountain. Qian Jun and Jiang Mo exchanged a glance, realizing that the crucial moment had arrived. The ninth spirit rings on their Dragon Staffs flashed, and they simultaneously used their ninth spirit skills: Salvation of All Beings and Attainment of Bodhi.
The two dragon-coiled staffs also grew rapidly, becoming like pillars supporting the sky, and even emitted bursts of dragon roars.
In the sky, the enormous Clear Sky Hammer collided with the two Coiled Dragon Staffs, causing a huge shockwave in the air. Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, two titled Douluo, were knocked back, and blood spilled from the corners of their mouths.
However, Tang Zhen on the opposite side seemed to be more seriously injured, and his aura was beginning to weaken. The two titled Douluo, Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard, attacked Tang Zhen again, especially Ghost Leopard Douluo, who instantly appeared in front of Tang Zhen and directly inflicted serious injuries on him.
At this moment, of the four Title Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect, one was slightly injured and two were seriously injured. The situation was extremely dire, and they faced the possibility of the sect's destruction at any time.
