Chapter 317: Niu Tian, Tai Tan: We'll Wipe Out the Clear Sky Sect
"Big Brother?"
Tai Tan turned toward his elder brother, Niu Tian, wanting to see what decision he would make.
Niu Tian stared deeply at Xiao Wu before giving his answer.
"I'm sorry, but you're ultimately not the Xiao Wu I know."
"Even if, as you said, she has become nothing more than Tang San's accessory, I, Niu Tian, will always be Xiao Wu's younger brother."
Hearing Niu Tian's decision, Xiao Wu was both angry and helpless.
"Looks like you two need a little re-education."
"Da Ming, Er Ming, come out and teach Niu Tian and Tai Tan a lesson. How dare they refuse my invitation?"
Xiao Wu gave a sharp shout.
The next moment, two dazzling white lights flashed behind her.
As the light faded, two powerful auras suddenly descended upon the area.
Niu Tian and Tai Tan looked up.
Two figures stood tall before them, and they looked exactly like the two of them.
"This is… us from another timeline!"
Niu Tian exclaimed.
After carefully sensing their strength, Niu Tian discovered that the versions of them from the other timeline seemed to be far stronger than they were.
In that other timeline, Da Ming and Er Ming had been hunted down and killed by Tang San.
However, after Tang San's death, Yun Ming had resurrected them, and their strength had reached an entirely new level.
Both Da Ming and Er Ming had entered the realm of Limit Douluo and had even stepped into the quasi-god realm.
Da Ming was at the peak of the quasi-god realm, while Er Ming was an ordinary quasi-god.
They were far stronger than the Niu Tian and Tai Tan of this era.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, hurry up and teach your younger brothers from the parallel timeline a lesson. Better beat them until they can't get out of bed. How dare they disobey me?"
Xiao Wu ordered.
After returning to Nine Treasure City, she had asked Yun Ming to bring Da Ming and Er Ming from the original timeline to Nine Treasure City.
It was all for this very moment.
"Got it, Xiao Wu."
Da Ming and Er Ming rubbed their palms together, already eager to make a move.
How dare these two disobey Xiao Wu?
Niu Tian and Tai Tan were practically begging for a beating!
"Niu Tian, take this!"
"Tai Tan, take this!"
Da Ming and Er Ming attacked at the same time, their fists shooting straight toward Niu Tian and Tai Tan.
After a single exchange, Niu Tian and Tai Tan were sent flying into the sky above Nine Treasure City.
The battlefield was consequently moved high above the city.
Three Limit Douluo-level combatants and one peak Douluo-level powerhouse were fighting.
If they fought within the city and unleashed their true strength, Nine Treasure City would be destroyed in no time.
"Big Brother, the versions of us from the other timeline are pretty strong."
"Why don't we just surrender?"
Tai Tan took a solid punch from Er Ming, sending his internal organs churning violently.
At this point, he couldn't even bring out his full Limit Douluo-level strength.
His opponent, Er Ming, was a quasi-god.
How was he supposed to fight that?
"If you want to surrender, it won't be that easy. Take a good beating first."
Er Ming charged forward, his fist already arriving in front of Tai Tan's face.
On the other side, Da Ming also poured all his strength into his attacks. Each punch carried the might of a mountain as he relentlessly hammered Niu Tian.
It didn't take long for Tai Tan to lose.
Although his strength was close to that of a Limit Douluo, the gap between him and a Quasi-God was simply too great.
Er Ming didn't even need ten moves to beat Tai Tan black and blue.
Niu Tian fared somewhat better.
Having already reached the Limit Douluo realm, he was at least qualified to contend with Da Ming.
But there were differences even among Limit Douluo.
Da Ming stood at the peak of the Quasi-God realm.
After a hundred exchanges, Da Ming finally defeated Niu Tian.
"Niu Tian, I'll remind you one last time. If Xiao Wu hadn't protected you and Tai Tan before the upper echelons of the Spirit Empire, your only possible fate would have been becoming soul rings."
"If you remain stubborn, don't blame me for killing you here."
Da Ming's words left Niu Tian deep in thought.
"Big Brother, let's surrender."
"If we don't surrender soon, Er Ming is going to beat me into a meat pie."
Tai Tan complained from the side.
"And besides, Big Brother, the Xiao Wu from the other timeline definitely won't make things too difficult for the Xiao Wu of our timeline."
"We're only betraying Tang San by surrendering. Besides, Xiao Wu leaving Tang San is a good thing."
"Just look at what he did to Xiao Qi. I believe Xiao Wu definitely won't blame us for turning against Tang San."
Seeing how quickly Tai Tan had grasped the situation, Da Ming couldn't help but smile faintly.
"Look at Tai Tan. Even someone as foolish as him can figure things out. Niu Tian, how come you still don't understand?"
Er Ming, who was standing nearby, heard this and immediately looked aggrieved.
"Big Brother, why are you calling me foolish? I'm obviously very smart, okay?"
Wasn't Tai Tan him?
More precisely, Tai Tan was his counterpart from ten thousand years in the future.
"Second Brother, don't worry about the details. I only said that to persuade Niu Tian."
Da Ming gave an awkward smile and hurriedly tried to placate Er Ming.
On the other side, Niu Tian seemed to have finally made up his mind.
"I surrender."
Hearing this, the corners of Da Ming's mouth curled upward.
"That's more like it."
Nearby, Tai Tan heard that his elder brother Niu Tian had surrendered and excitedly looked toward Er Ming.
"Brother Er Ming, can you let me go now?"
"Sure. Since we're all family now, I can't keep bullying you."
Er Ming released his grip on Tai Tan's neck and then patted him on the shoulder.
"From now on, you're my little brother."
The four of them returned to Nine Treasure City.
When Xiao Wu saw that Da Ming and Er Ming had beaten Niu Tian and Tai Tan into submission, a brilliant smile appeared on her face.
"Now I have four little brothers!"
"Tai Tan, your cultivation is the weakest. Hurry up and reach the Limit Douluo realm. That way, when I take all of you out, Xiao Wu will look much more impressive."
After happily imagining the future for a while, Xiao Wu suddenly remembered something and continued,
"Oh, right. Niu Tian, Tai Tan, you two used to serve under Tang San, so you'll have to accomplish something meritorious before our Spirit Empire recognizes you."
"I've already thought of a way for you to earn that merit."
"Aren't you the sect master and vice sect master of the Clear Sky Sect?"
"After some time, go back to the Clear Sky Sect and wipe it out."
"That achievement should be more than enough for the Spirit Empire to recognize your identities."
Hearing this, Niu Tian and Tai Tan both nodded.
"Xiao Wu, we understand."
Although they were the Sect Master and Vice Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, they belonged to the soul beast race.
They had no attachment to the Clear Sky Sect whatsoever.
So slaughtering the entire Clear Sky Sect wouldn't weigh heavily on their consciences.
"Xiao Wu, leave this matter to the two of us. We'll make sure to bloodbath the Clear Sky Sect."
"By the way, Xiao Wu, Tang San's father and mother are also hidden in the ancestral grounds of the Clear Sky Sect. The former Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao, and the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, are currently sleeping there."
"However, they've already become true gods. Since we're going to turn against Tang San, we can find a way to kill his parents on the Douluo Continent. That would also weaken his forces."
Niu Tian slowly offered his suggestion.
