Chapter 377: The Grief of Haotian Sect Disciples
Not to mention the grand Title Douluo battlefield in the distance, the battle between thousands of Haotian Sect disciples and the enemy on the main road leading to the sect was equally intense.
Thousands of Haotian Hammers were swung simultaneously, creating a howling wind. For a moment, they successfully resisted the combined soul master army of the three factions.
However, the enemy, upon receiving orders, was not in a hurry to break through the defense line established by the Haotian disciples. While dodging or defending against the Haotian Hammer attacks, they patiently waited for the right moment. Some of the Haotian disciples, noticing the unusual behavior of the enemy, began to suspect. Normally, if they had come to fight, they shouldn't be attacking half-heartedly, right?
One Haotian disciple, after being bounced back by a defensive soul skill, turned to look at his companions.
"Hey, what are these people doing? They don't seem like they're trying to fight seriously."
"Yeah, it's like they're waiting for something."
"Could it be that they're waiting for their Title Douluo to deal with the elders and then come to support us? Don't be ridiculous, the elders are invincible."
As the Haotian disciples continued to discuss during the brief pause in the battle, several figures dressed in pure white military uniforms quietly appeared behind them.
Upon seeing this, the Haotian disciples immediately showed signs of joy.
"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived! Let's push these guys back!"
"Alright, watch me use my Chaotic Wind Hammer technique!"
As the morale of the Haotian disciples surged with the arrival of the Heaven Dou Empire reinforcements, a three-meter-long Xuān huā axe suddenly sliced through the sky, and with it, three Haotian Sect disciples' heads flew into the air.
The same scene unfolded behind many Haotian Sect disciples. Some were pierced through the chest by sword and blade martial souls, while others had their intestines torn apart by beast martial souls.
The expressions of all the Haotian disciples who were attacked were remarkably similar—before dying, they turned in disbelief to see the Heaven Dou soul masters who had ambushed them.
"You… why?"
By the time hundreds of their comrades had fallen, the Haotian disciples finally woke up, realizing what had happened. Their previously high morale immediately collapsed like frost-bitten eggplants, and what followed was endless rage.
"What the hell are you bastards doing? The enemy is over there!"
"What are you Heaven Dou Empire people doing? Can't you tell who the enemy is?"
In fact, some Haotian disciples had already suspected the truth, but in the face of the sect's life-or-death situation, they were still unwilling to believe they had been backstabbed.
A cold smile appeared on Xue Hu's face as he disdainfully responded to the Haotian disciple who questioned him.
"Wrong target? Sorry, from the beginning to the end, we've never been wrong. The enemy is only Haotian Sect."
"Such betrayal of the alliance, do you really think Spirit Hall will give up attacking the Heaven Dou Empire in the end? Don't dream."
Seeing the bloodshot eyes of the Haotian Sect Soul Douluo, Xue Hu seemed to find something amusing.
"Hahahaha, do you think there's a possibility that the Heaven Dou Empire now belongs to Spirit Hall?"
"Wh-what?"
The Soul Douluo's pupils contracted sharply as he thought of a terrifying possibility. If what Xue Hu said was true, didn't that mean they had foolishly welcomed the enemy into their own home? Realizing this, a storm of fury surged within all the Haotian Sect disciples.
"I'll fight you to the death, damn traitors."
Tremendous energy fluctuations erupted from the Haotian disciples, and all those who had learned the Great Sumeru Hammer technique immediately unleashed their soul rings. They had prepared for the worst, willing to die but take a few down with them.
Xue Hu quickly wiped the smile from his face and urgently warned his subordinates.
"Be careful, they're going to fight to the death."
"Yes."
Turning his attention to the Haotian disciples of the Heaven Dou army, who were swearing revenge for their fallen comrades, they struck with great ferocity, and within just a few dozen seconds, many members of the Heaven Dou army were severely injured and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the joint army, having realized that the so-called "opportunity" had arrived, began abandoning their defense and evasion, launching a fierce counterattack on the Haotian disciples.
Various martial souls burst forth in dazzling light at this moment, and each wave of attacks claimed the lives of dozens of Haotian disciples.
"Sixth Soul Skill: Xuān Huā Matrix."
Facing the explosive ring counterattacks from the Haotian Sect Soul Douluo, even though Xue Hu had a weapon martial soul with extreme offensive power, after hearing Ning Bei's account of the explosive ring's weaknesses, he had no intention of fighting head-on. He quickly released a defensive soul skill to block the impact of the Haotian Hammer.
In the distance, Tang Xiao, who was facing off against Erming and Ah bao , saw this all unfold. In just a few dozen minutes, he had lost over a hundred disciples, causing the sect master to become red with anger.
"Damn it, no matter who you are, get out of my way now, or I'll make sure you die beneath the Haotian Hammer."
Two yellow, two purple, and five black soul rings rose from his body, and the imposing aura of a 97th-level Super Douluo instantly spread.
Upon hearing Tang Xiao's threat, Erming and Ah bao , the two muscle-bound men, revealed sinister smiles. They showed no intention of retreating and instead gestured for Tang Xiao to come at them.
They hadn't forgotten the battle at Shrek Academy years ago. Back then, with only a hundred thousand years of cultivation, they were severely wounded by Tang Hao's hammer. If not for Ning Bei's miraculous medicine, who knew who would have come out on top?
But now, with their cultivation reaching 300,000 years, they no longer saw Tang Xiao's power as a significant threat. In fact, they felt a sense of excitement, eager to take revenge for the humiliation they had suffered.
"Come on, let me see who's better at using hammers, you or the other guy."
Ah bao 's words caused Tang Xiao's gaze to freeze in disbelief as he looked at him.
"You've met Hao?"
"Enough talking! If you win, you'll learn everything. If you lose, you'll go straight to hell, and take your sect with you."
Knowing they wouldn't tell him where Tang Hao was, Tang Xiao's resolve to face death rose. The fact that they were able to fight with his brother and stand before him already showed their strength, and Tang Xiao did not have the confidence to defeat Tang Hao.
"Hmph, let me see what you have to challenge the Haotian Hammer with."
"Guan Zi Jue, continuous flow of attacks!"
Tang Xiao leaped into the air, and his Haotian Hammer, with the momentum of the Breaking Army, smashed down on the spot where Ah bao and Erming stood. The two exchanged glances, showing no sign of retreating. They raised both hands to block the massive hammer that was coming down.
"Boom!"
A giant echo, like a huge pillar striking a bell, reverberated throughout Haotian Sect, attracting the attention of other battlefields.
The second elder, Tang Qing, glanced behind him with a pale face. He was all too familiar with Tang Xiao's aura, and now that even he was going all out, it meant that the sect was in deep trouble. He was secretly shocked that, while Spirit Hall had sent seven Title Douluo to attack them, there were still high-level forces infiltrating Haotian Sect. It was terrifying beyond belief.
"You really have some good tactics, trying to lead the tiger out of the mountain?"
"Hahaha, you can always choose to retreat and help. I haven't stopped you."
The smile on Yue Guan's face in front of Tang Qing was full of mockery. He indeed had no intention of stopping Tang Qing, but the other elders weren't included in that.
