Tang Xiao looked at the numerous Titled Douluos present, then at the cold Ning Fengzhi. He knew he was no longer in a position to negotiate; submitting to the Sun Moon Empire was likely the best possible outcome.
Tang Xiao retracted his Martial Soul Avatar and slowly landed before Ning Fengzhi. Just as he was about to speak, a sharp shriek erupted from within the Clear Sky Clan. Five massive Clear Sky Hammers flew out, carrying a terrifying and immense power.
"Clear Sky Clan disciples, counter-attack! Protect the Clan Head!" A cold female voice rang out alongside the offensive of the five giant hammers. A terrifying demonic eye quietly unfurled in the sky above the Clear Sky Clan.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Life and Death in One Dream!"
With the activation of this skill, several Titled Douluos below Rank 95 actually lost their focus for a moment. The five giant Clear Sky Hammers formed a terrifying formation and slammed down toward Ning Fengzhi.
Simultaneously, the weathered voice of the Second Elder rang out. "Clan Head, Bibi Dong is about to complete her god trials. Do not believe the words of these people!"
Seeing this, Tang Xiao felt a surge of despair. "How foolish!"
But the battle had been ignited in an instant; it was too late for words.
Chen Xin sensed the auras of six Titled Douluos emerging from within the Clear Sky Clan. One of them had surprisingly reached the level of Rank 99. Although she had only just reached Rank 99, her level of terror was self-evident.
"Bibi Dong!" Chen Xin's gaze turned cold. He never imagined that Bibi Dong, who had fled from Spirit Hall, would appear here at the Clear Sky Clan.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"
Soul power surged within Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword, and it suddenly expanded, slashing toward Bibi Dong with endless majesty.
Glowing Feather Douluo, Demon Subduing Douluo, and the others also reacted instantly, using their ultimate moves to block the combined attack of the five Clear Sky Hammers.
Tang Xiao's eyes were nearly bursting with rage. He roared at Ning Fengzhi, "Clan Head Ning, my Clear Sky Clan is willing to submit to the Empire! Stop the fighting!"
He then barked at the elders of the Clear Sky Clan, "Elders, my Clear Sky Clan cannot become traitors! Stop now!"
However, his words were like stones sinking into the ocean. High in the air, the five elders of the Clear Sky Clan flew out, shoulders squared as they caught the hammers that had just been knocked back, appearing exceptionally overbearing.
"Clan Head, we absolutely cannot listen to you this time." The Second Elder shouted, "Clear Sky Clan members, fight back!"
Tang Xiao was at a loss. The Second Elder was the person who cared most about the survival of the Clear Sky Clan; he was one of the primary advocates for going into seclusion back then. How had he become so muddled today?!
However, in a place Tang Xiao could not see, the five elders of the Clear Sky Clan had unknowingly been connected by countless translucent shadow threads. Amidst the chaos of battle, their expressions were actually full of agony. They didn't look overbearing at all; instead, they looked desperate.
Seeing the Clear Sky Clan members take action, Ning Fengzhi didn't need to say another word. The Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos, Thousand Weight Douluo, and the others had already charged toward the five elders.
Mi He and Long Wu guarded Ning Fengzhi. Ning Fengzhi looked at Tang Xiao with surprise in his eyes, "Clan Head Tang, your Clear Sky Clan actually dares to harbor imperial fugitives. It seems your heart for submission has yet to be confirmed."
"Clan Head Tang, since things have come to this, you cannot blame me."
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Tang Xiao roared, "Bastard! Bibi Dong, you bastard, I'll see you dead!"
Though he claimed he wanted Bibi Dong dead, he swung his Clear Sky Hammer and lunged toward Ning Fengzhi. He knew that to stop the army, he had to take Ning Fengzhi down.
As he lunged, Mi He and Long Wu immediately unleashed their respective seventh soul skills. Their mission was to protect Ning Fengzhi; they naturally wouldn't allow Tang Xiao to harm him.
"Get out of my way!" Tang Xiao bellowed. His seventh soul skill was released again, pouring out terrifying soul power at the Rank 97. The massive Clear Sky Hammer directly swept Mi He and Long Wu aside. The two were repelled without even a shred of resistance.
It wasn't that they were too weak, but that the soul power gap between the two sides was too large. Although both were Rank 94, Tang Xiao's soul power had reached Rank 97. Furthermore, as one of the twin stars of Clear Sky, his individual strength was naturally terrifying.
However, just as he was about to reach Ning Fengzhi, a surge of soul power emanated from Ning Fengzhi's left leg. In the next heartbeat, Ning Fengzhi actually teleported dozens of meters away.
"Soft Bone Rabbit Left Leg Bone Skill, Teleportation!"
This was one of the soul bone skills granted to Ning Fengzhi after Xiao Wu's sacrifice. Along with his teleportation, a nine-layered, nine-colored pagoda quietly appeared in his hand. Above the pagoda were nine soul rings: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.
Tang Xiao's pupils constricted when he saw this. He had received news from Tang Yuehua earlier that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had changed its name to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan precisely because Ning Fengzhi had broken the clan's limits and become a Titled Douluo.
Yet, seeing the blood-red ninth soul ring on the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Fengzhi's hand, he still couldn't help but be shocked.
In the moment of his shock, Ning Fengzhi's black seventh soul skill lit up. The nine-colored pagoda expanded rapidly, instantly reaching ten meters in height. Then, the first six soul rings on Ning Fengzhi's body lit up simultaneously, and six streaks of light flew directly toward Chen Xin.
"Uncle Sword, you must take down Bibi Dong this time!" Ning Fengzhi then shouted, "Tang Xiao, surrender now to preserve the foundation of your clansmen, or not a single soul will be left!"
Boosted by Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin's soul power, which was already at the Rank 98 Peak, skyrocketed once more. It had actually reached parity with Bibi Dong. The Seven Kill Sword in his hand erupted with terrifying power as it descended toward Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's injuries had already recovered, and having undergone another trial, her strength had increased. Furthermore, having just returned from hunting soul rings in the ocean, she was at her absolute peak.
Bibi Dong instantly transformed into a massive, terrifying demonic spider, clashing head-on with Chen Xin.
Meanwhile, under the protection of two Titled Douluos, the army had already entered the mountain gate and engaged in combat with the ordinary Clear Sky Clan disciples. The Clear Sky Clan only had about two thousand Soul Masters. Although eighty percent of them possessed the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, they were no match for the elite force Ning Fengzhi had brought.
Furthermore, the thousand Soul Masters led by Gu Rong charged out directly from within the clan, leaving countless Clear Sky Clan disciples stunned. They hadn't even finished fighting the enemies in front of them, yet more had come from behind?!
After transporting the thousand Soul Masters into the clan, Gu Rong also joined the battlefield, charging toward Tang Xiao. He hadn't held back when killing Tang Hao, and he certainly wouldn't now.
Tang Xiao heard Ning Fengzhi's words and glanced at the five elders who were being suppressed instantly. He roared again, "Elders, stop fighting! We must preserve the sparks of the clan..."
Before he could finish, the spatial power around him surged. Endless killing intent locked onto him; Gu Rong's attack had arrived.
Seeing that the five elders had no intention of stopping, Tang Xiao was instantly consumed by rage. Although he didn't know what had happened, this battle was now unavoidable.
Surrender? Aside from Bibi Dong, Tang Xiao was the strongest person in the Clear Sky Clan. With the battle raging, if he surrendered, the clan would be wiped out.
Tang Xiao, enraged to the extreme, swung his Clear Sky Hammer and began an all-out assault. However, his opponent was Gu Rong.
As for the five Titled Douluo elders of the Clear Sky Clan, their faces remained twisted in pain. Besieged by Glowing Feather Douluo, Thousand Weight Douluo, and the others, they were no match at all and could only retreat step by step.
Divine Fire Douluo, Mystic Water Douluo, and several other Titled Douluos directly attacked the disciples within the Clear Sky Clan. They were all eager to distinguish themselves and had no concern for the dignity of their rank, striking directly at the Clear Sky Clan members below the Titled Douluo level.
