Chapter 292. Tang Chen stepped onto the Spirit Hall (part 2)
Qian Xunji calmly said, "An Zhongdao."
"Present."
On the domed building of the Spirit Hall, a woman in blue appeared, her legs together, the tips of her shoes touching the sharp spire.
"Tang Chen, you old dog, is the backbone of the Rat Sect. Today, I'll have you break that backbone of the Rat Sect, so they'll forever grovel on the ground."
"Want to break the backbone of my Haotian Sect? Qian Xunji, how could your father have given birth to such an arrogant fellow? Today, I, Tang Chen, will teach you how to respect your elders." Tang Chen gripped the handle of the Haotian Hammer, his anger turning into a bitter laugh as he spoke to Qian Xunji.
"An old dog is still a dog, and people don't respect dogs as elders," Qian Xunji said.
"You dare call me an old dog? Die!" Tang Chen revealed his true colors at this moment. His eyes were bloodshot, his breathing was labored, and his killing intent domain surged even more powerfully.
Crimson killing intent converged on Qian Xunji alone, like a monstrous wave, extremely oppressive.
Beside Qian Xunji, Poseidon wished she could slap him to death. If it weren't for the Sea God, would she have allowed Qian Xunji to humiliate her like this?
Before Tang Chen could even launch his attack, a domain shattered Tang Hao and Tang Chen's Killing God Domain.
The grandfather and grandson felt that in that instant, their Killing God Domains were forced by the invisible sword domain to only encompass themselves.
The surrounding space, leaves, and storms, all under the domain's influence, could feel the aura of sword intent!
The woman atop the tower at the center of the domain raised her head, looked at Tang Chen, and said, "Your opponent is me!"
"Such powerful sword energy!" Chen Xin exclaimed in shock, "Swordless Domain! Swordless Domain!"
In the distance, he saw the woman standing atop the gardener's abode above the Papal Palace.
"Uncle Sword, she's the mysterious Title Douluo who killed Yu Yuanzhen. Who do you think is stronger, her or Tang Chen?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
Chen Xin smiled bitterly and said, "To me, these two are like someone at the foot of a mountain looking at two towering peaks. I can't see the top, and I can't determine who's stronger. But if they fight, I won't need to tell who's superior."
Ning Fengzhi asked, "Then, Uncle Sword, who do you hope will win?"
Chen Xin smiled and said, "From the sect's perspective, I hope Tang Chen wins, but deep down, I hope the woman with the sword wins even more."
"Oh? Why?" Ning Fengzhi asked疑惑地问道.
Chen Xin said, "Because she uses a sword."
Tang Chen could sense the woman's strength level.
Limit Douluo!
Unexpectedly, besides Qian Daoliu, the Spirit Hall harbored another Limit Douluo?
This woman's sword energy had reached a formidable level, suppressing his and Hao'er's Killing God Domain. She seemed to be a formidable opponent.
But so what if she was a Limit Douluo? Even among Limit Douluos, there were differences. Poseidon and Qian Daoliu were the best among them, and Tang Chen could still hold his own against them, not to mention he had the Asura Sword as a trump card.
Tang Chen glanced at the woman out of the corner of his eye, then looked at the majestic Papal Palace.
His purpose here, besides questioning Poseidon, was also to use his Clear Sky Hammer to destroy the authority that the Spirit Hall had built up over thousands of years.
"Hao'er, Xiao'er, and Xiao San, watch carefully and learn well. See how your grandfather and great-grandfather used this ultimate technique of my Clear Sky Sect."
"Ring Explosion!" Tang Chen's spirit rings exploded. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at the entire Papal Palace and said, "The Papal Palace will cease to exist from this day forward. Today, I will destroy your Papal Palace first to collect interest. In the future, I will destroy your Elder Palace and Douluo Palace to repay the sins your Spirit Hall committed against the Clear Sky Sect."
"Great Sumeru Hammer."
The power of the exploding rings converged on the Clear Sky Hammer. He raised the Clear Sky Hammer high in his hand, and the Clear Sky Hammer became nearly a thousand meters in size. The huge hammerhead pressed down from the clouds, giving people a terrifying sense of oppression. Beneath the hammerhead, all were ants.
If the Clear Sky Hammer were to crash down upon the Spirit Hall, it would be a catastrophe; few within the Spirit Hall would survive.
Was this the true power of Grandpa Tang Chen wielding the Great Sumeru Hammer?
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, witnessing this scene, felt a surge of pride!
This was their grandfather, the incomparably domineering and supreme Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Chen!
Tang San, seeing Tang Chen display his might, was also filled with pride, but he suddenly remembered Xiao Wu was also in the Pope's Hall. He wanted to stop him, but it was too late!
"Long live the Clear Sky Sect! Long live the Clear Sky Sect! Long live the Clear Sky Sect!" Seeing their ancestor Tang Chen display his might, the Clear Sky Sect disciples below were as if injected with adrenaline, some raising both hands, others only one, shouting in unison. They had no choice; the Clear Sky Sect had been suppressed by the Spirit Hall for too long. Now, Tang Chen had returned, attacking the Spirit Hall and venting their anger—wasn't this exactly what they wanted?
Poseidon felt the extreme pressure emanating from Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer, deeply captivated by it!
Ah, Tang Chen, this is the man I love! Even though you've become a Grand Elder, your unparalleled domineering aura and domineering presence still intoxicate me.
Tang Chen's full-force attack made Qian Daoliu restless. Just as he was about to draw his Measuring Heaven Sword to block Tang Chen's attack, Qian Xunji stopped him.
Don't let people think our Spirit Hall is ganging up on us. Let An Chongdao handle this old dog."
After saying this, Qian Xunji told An Chongdao, "Make it clean and efficient."
An Chongdao nodded, reached out, and summoned his sword.
An Chongdao's Spirit Hall made its first public appearance: a sword, without any superfluous decorations, simple and unadorned. Compared to Tang Chen's nearly thousand-meter-long Clear Sky Hammer, it was small and unremarkable!
She gripped the hilt and drew the sword, tossing the scabbard aside as it dissipated into her soul power.
A sharp sword light gleamed coldly in the night sky.
The razor-sharp blade sent chills down anyone's spine.
Even Tang Chen felt a life-threatening threat from this small sword.
An Zhongdao closed her eyes. The Clear Sky Hammer and Tang Chen were within the Swordless Domain; she could sense each other through the domain, including the Clear Sky Hammer's vital points.
The Void Sword, said to be forged with a blade capable of cleaving space, was virtually invincible.
Just as the Clear Sky Hammer was about to fall, An Zhongdao vanished. The next moment, people only saw a beam of light darting back and forth within the thousand-meter-tall Clear Sky Hammer! A sharp, cold light entered from one side of the Clear Sky Hammer and exited from the other.
It turned sharply and entered from the other side.
The feeling was like a needle in a woman's hand, moving back and forth through a hole in her clothing; yet, this movement was completely random.
But the time involved was almost instantaneous.
Very few people could truly perceive what happened in that instant.
