A loud explosion of metal clashing against metal rang out. Sparks, hot air waves, and broken spear light flew everywhere. Yang Wudi felt a huge force travel through his spear. That power was very fierce and carried a strange heat that burned his spirit power.
He was already hurt, and he had used all his strength in his last attack. This sudden heavy blow caught him off guard. The skin between his thumb and index finger ripped open, and blood flowed quickly. The Soul Breaking Spear almost flew out of his hand. His whole body shook from the massive force, and he stumbled back seven or eight meters before he could stand still.
After the strike, the burning Clear Sky Hammer spun in the air and flew back to its owner. Then, an old, angry voice shook the area like thunder from that direction.
What a Breaking Clan. What a Yang Wudi.
A second later, several people walked out from the broken walls. The leader was a tall man with white hair and a white beard, but his face looked very healthy and red. Fire seemed to flash in his eyes when he blinked. He wore a simple gray robe, but his energy was hot and violent.
He was clearly a powerful Titled Douluo. He reached out and caught the flaming Clear Sky Hammer, and the fire slowly disappeared. Behind him stood four other elders with deep energy and angry expressions.
These were the five elders of the Clear Sky Sect who had been delayed by the palace guards and the Spirit Hall priests. They had just broken through the defense to get here. The red-faced old man at the front was the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect. He was famous for his bad temper and his mutated fire Clear Sky Hammer.
The Seventh Elder stood with his hammer and looked down at Yang Wudi. Yang Wudi had blood on his mouth and stared back with his spear. The Seventh Elder smiled coldly as if he were looking at a bug.
You were just a dog for our Clear Sky Sect in the past. You found some broken secrets and now you think you are special. You dare to attack the Sect Master so badly. Where did you get the courage to rebel against your masters?
The four elders behind him stepped forward together. Their combined Titled Douluo pressure pushed down on Yang Wudi. The mood changed instantly. Before, Yang Wudi was chasing Tang Xiao, but now the elders were forcing Yang Wudi into a corner.
The situation was very dangerous and ready to explode. Meanwhile, another elder quickly supported the badly hurt Tang Xiao and gave him a medicine pill to heal his injuries.
Yang Wudi wiped the blood from his mouth. He felt the terrifying pressure of the Clear Sky Sect elders, but his eyes showed no fear. He only felt deeper hatred. He gripped his Soul Breaking Spear tightly. The tip of the spear shook slightly as he pointed it at the Seventh Elder. His voice was rough but steady.
Old man, who are you calling a dog?
Black light flashed on the Soul Breaking Spear again. He did not step back. Instead, he moved forward with cold killing intent.
The Seventh Elder laughed with complete disdain.
I am talking about you, the ungrateful old dog who bites his own master. If our Clear Sky Sect did not help you back then, your Breaking Clan would have been destroyed by your enemies a long long time ago. The Clear Sky Sect gave you safety so you could live and grow.
But you showed no thanks. At the first sign of trouble, you held a grudge. Now you even used the Sect Master's injury to make a cheap surprise attack. A simple Spirit Douluo who got a small advantage from a sneaky move actually thinks he can change things. Before the Clear Sky Sect, you and your broken spear will always be garbage.
These words were very cruel. They denied Yang Wudi's strength and wiped away everything the Breaking Clan had done for the sect. The Seventh Elder treated them like useless servants who could only survive by begging. Yang Wudi shook with anger.
The veins on his hands popped out, and he almost lost his mind from the heavy insults. He stared at the Blazing Sun Douluo. His voice became very quiet because of his extreme anger, but it felt cold and scary.
Old man, since you hate me and the Breaking Clan so much, do you dare to make a bet of life and death with me right here? Let us have a one on one fight. No one can help us. Whoever loses must kill himself on the spot to clear this shame with blood. Do you dare?
His last words shook the ruins like thunder. The Seventh Elder was surprised for a moment. Then he thought it was the funniest joke he had ever heard, and he laughed loudly.
Haha, why would I be afraid of you? A Spirit Douluo at the eighth ring dares to challenge me to a fight of life and death? My spirit power is at Rank 92. Killing you is as easy as killing a dog. Since you want to die so quickly, I will grant your wish. I will make an ignorant frog like you understand that the gap between a Spirit Douluo and a Titled Douluo is like the distance between the sky and the mud.
Yang Wudi shouted loudly. He did not show any fear. A crazy smile appeared on his face.
Good. Today, I will show an arrogant old man like you if my spear can break the pride of a Clear Sky Sect elder.
Before he finished speaking, he pushed hard with his feet. His hurt body exploded with great speed. He and the Soul Breaking Spear seemed to become one single piece of black lightning.
He moved forward with a dangerous aura, not caring if he lived or died. He thrust his spear straight at the Seventh Elder's chest. He did not test his opponent or move around. He used a deadly attack right from the start. The air made a loud screaming sound as the spear tip ripped through it.
The Seventh Elder laughed wildly and did not dodge.
Come on. Third Spirit Ability, Blazing Mountain Shaker.
He swung his giant burning hammer to hit the attack directly. The third and fifth spirit rings on his hammer lit up at the same time. The flames grew larger, and his power increased quickly.
The black spear and the fire hammer hit each other several times in a moment. In the first hit, the Seventh Elder's attack was very heavy. The flaming Clear Sky Hammer came down with the power of a falling mountain. He wanted to crush Yang Wudi with pure strength.
Yang Wudi did not fight the power directly. The tip of his spear tapped the hammer and pulled back instantly. He used that force to spin his body. His long spear moved like a fast dragon coming out of a cave.
He aimed straight at the Seventh Elder's ribs because the elder's defense was open after swinging the hammer. This move forced the Seventh Elder to defend quickly, and his heavy momentum stopped.
In the second hit, the Seventh Elder became more careful. He changed his move from a smash to a wide sweep. Large flames and hot air waves covered a big area. But Yang Wudi moved forward like a ghost. He bent low and slid right under the hot wind of the hammer.
The Soul Breaking Spear swept up from the ground like a snake, aiming at the Seventh Elder's lower body. The angle was very tricky and dangerous. Anyone watching would feel afraid.
The Seventh Elder jumped back in shock. He avoided the vital spot, but the spear tip ripped his pant leg. It left a burned tear, and his skin felt a sharp pain. Two or three rounds passed very quickly. The easy victory the Seventh Elder expected did not happen.
Instead, he found himself in constant danger and felt confused. His face changed from pride to doubt, and then it looked very bad. He realized he had made a big mistake. Yang Wudi's spear skills and power were not like a normal Spirit Douluo at all. His moves were smart, and he was excellent at finding chances to strike.
Every spear attack hit the exact moment when the elder's old strength was gone and his new strength was not ready. The Soul Breaking Spear seemed alive in Yang Wudi's hands. It was sharp, quick, and found every open spot.
The Seventh Elder was even more afraid of Yang Wudi's strong will to fight. Yang Wudi did not care about his own life. He put all his mind and spirit power into the tip of the spear just to kill his enemy.
In this state, his senses and power went far beyond his spirit power rank. As the fight went on, Yang Wudi began to control the match. The Blazing Sun Douluo could not stop his opponent.
Under the continuous and dangerous spear attacks, the elder looked tired and spent more time defending than attacking. The Seventh Elder never thought he would be embarrassed so quickly.
