Tang Xiao looked up at the blue-gold figure that suddenly appeared in the sky. He was the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, but he was heavily injured. Right now, his eyes opened wide with absolute shock.
It is him. This familiar aura belongs to the other son of Brother Hao.
Tang Xiao knew this face immediately. He recognized the blue-haired young man standing in the air. A few months ago, a mysterious youth had the courage to sneak into the hidden location of the Clear Sky Sect. That youth used excellent disguise skills to change his appearance and look exactly like Tang Xiao. He fooled the whole sect and stole their most secret technique, the Ring Explosion Profound Truth.
Suddenly, a huge wave of anger and shame hit Tang Xiao. He forgot about the pain of his heavy injuries for a moment. His blood rushed quickly through his veins, and his face turned bright red from extreme anger. He raised a shaking hand, pointed his finger at Tang Chen in the sky, and yelled with all his strength.
You little beast, it really is you. Brother Hao truly raised a wonderful son.
This loud roar cut through the noise of the battlefield. It caused every single person nearby to turn their heads and look at Tang Chen.
When the Elders of the Clear Sky Sect heard these words, they were confused at first. Then, they remembered the shameful incident from a few months ago. Their faces turned very dark and ugly all at the same time. They felt a deep hatred for the boy who had tricked them.
Tang Xiao kept his angry eyes fixed on Tang Chen. He looked like he wanted to burn the youth alive with his gaze. He yelled out in a stern, loud voice that echoed everywhere.
Tang Chen, you are the son of Brother Hao, which means you are a true descendant of our Clear Sky Sect. The blood of the Tang Clan flows inside your body. Yet, you did such dirty and shameless things. You tricked the sect and betrayed your own ancestors. You stole our Ring Explosion secret technique by pretending to be me.
Now, you even bring outsiders here to attack our elders and try to destroy the sect. You are an unfilial son who forgot where he came from. You do not deserve the name Tang, and you do not deserve to belong to the Clear Sky Sect. Today, even if I have to use up every bit of my remaining strength, I will clean house for the sect and kill you myself.
These angry words held a massive amount of shocking information. The news made the hearts of Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and their companions shake with surprise. They could barely believe what they were hearing. Tang Chen was actually the son of the famous Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao. He was a part of the Clear Sky Sect.
More than that, he had sneaked into the sect to steal their ultimate technique. This seemed impossible to them. They wondered why Tang Chen had never told them anything about his past.
Tang Chen did not seem cared at all by the loud accusations. He stood calmly in the air while everyone stared at him with shock, confusion, and mixed feelings. He simply raised one eyebrow in a cool manner.
Then, he let out a short, mocking laugh.
Clean house? Tang Xiao, look at yourself. You can barely stand up straight right now. You look just like a beaten dog without a home. What can you use to clean house? Are you going to fight me with your mouth?
This calm, mocking reply felt like a sharp blade cutting into Tang Xiao. It hit him where it hurt the most. His proudest points were his high position as the leader of the top sect and his level ninety-six spirit power. But right now, standing in front of Tang Chen with a broken body, those achievements felt small and useless.
Tang Xiao felt deeply ashamed, but his old pride did not let him give up. He forced himself to take a deep breath to calm his rushing blood. He thought about the secret treasures of his ancient sect, and his voice became full of confidence again. He sneered at the young man.
You are just an ignorant boy. Do you think the Clear Sky Sect became the number one sect on the continent by accident? We have ruled for ten thousand years. Do you think we only rely on a hammer to survive? We have deep secrets to save us in a crisis. We can change the direction of a battle instantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he moved his hand and brought out an old box made of green jade.
He opened the jade box carefully. Inside lay two round medicines that were the size of small fruits. A soft purple mist and bright golden lines flowed across their surface. The moment the box opened, a strong, sweet smell of rare herbs filled the entire area. A powerful force of life spread out into the air, making everyone feel refreshed. Anyone could see that these were priceless treasures.
This is the ultimate medicine of the Clear Sky Sect, the clear sky violet gold pill. It takes ten long years and dozens of rare plants from nature to make just one single batch. It has a magical power to fix the body, heal heavy wounds instantly, and bring back a person's hidden life force. We never use it unless the sect is facing total destruction.
Tang Xiao looked determined. He put one of the purple pills into his mouth without any delay. The medicine melted instantly on his tongue. At the same time, he threw the second pill toward the Seventh Elder, who was still lying in a deep hole nearby.
Seventh Elder, catch this and take it now.
A wild, fierce light appeared in the eyes of the Seventh Elder. He caught the pill out of the air and swallowed it immediately.
A moment later, a strange sound vibrated through the air.
Two massive waves of spirit power exploded outward from Tang Xiao and the Seventh Elder at the exact same time.
The bloody, deep cuts on their skin began to close up. The wounds healed, formed hard scabs, and fell away so fast that people could see it happening. Their pale skins turned healthy again, and their weak energies rose up like a large volcano throwing out fire. Heavy waves of spirit power moved around them, feeling even stronger than before the battle started.
Although they did not return to their absolute best form instantly, their broken bodies recovered eighty percent of their true strength in seconds.
You unfilial boy. Do you think I have the right to punish you now?
Tang Xiao stood up completely straight again. He held his heavy Clear Sky Hammer tightly as blue spirit power spun around his legs and arms. Even if his body still had small injuries inside, his presence felt totally different now. His eyes shone like bright lightning as he locked his gaze onto Tang Chen in the sky. He shouted with a voice that sounded like iron.
At that moment, the Seventh Elder jumped out from the deep hole. His energy felt a bit rough, but a dangerous light burned in his eyes. He walked over to stand right next to Tang Xiao, raising his burning Clear Sky Hammer high into the air once more.
Tang Chen looked down at the two men. He saw their bodies heal quickly and their strengths return after using the clear sky violet gold pill. But the small, mocking smile stayed on his face. He spoke in a very quiet and relaxed voice.
The clear sky violet gold pill? You really spent your best treasure on this. But it does not matter. No medicine can fix the rot inside your hearts. It cannot save the Clear Sky Sect from its fate of total failure and ruin.
After saying those cold words, he stopped talking. He reached out with his right hand and closed his fingers around the empty air in front of him.
There was no loud noise or bright explosion of light. No strange signs appeared in nature.
But as Tang Chen closed his hand, a long spear appeared out of nowhere. It glowed with a warm, beautiful golden light. He held it firmly in his hand.
It was the golden dragon spear.
Come down then. Today, I want to see the true power of the number one tool spirit in this world.
Tang Chen floated in the high air, holding the long spear casually with one hand. He pointed the sharp tip down toward the ground. He looked completely relaxed, but he had an air of greatness that made him look like a god looking down at small creatures.
Elders, look at him.
Tang Xiao took a deep breath, and his voice sounded like a giant bronze bell. He looked around at the four elders who were still unhurt, and then at the Seventh Elder who had just gained his strength back.
This boy has a strange and dangerous power. He even stole our Ring Explosion technique, which is a terrible crime against our family. It will be too difficult for any of us to fight him alone and kill him. We must work together. Please help me form the Clear Sky Formation right now.
When the five elders heard this order, their spirits rose high. A sharp, dangerous light appeared in their eyes at the same time. They looked at each other and spoke with one loud voice.
Let us build the formation. We will kill this arrogant boy together.
As the strongest fighters and the true foundation of the Clear Sky Sect, they knew exactly what this formation could do. This was the ultimate secret weapon of their clan. It required at least five masters of the Clear Sky Hammer who shared the same bloodline and thoughts.
They could connect their spirit power, their hammer force, and their minds into a single unit. It turned separate fighters into one giant force, creating a power that was much greater than five people added together.
They only used this secret formation when the sect was about to die or when they met an enemy they could not beat alone.
Let's go.
Five loud shouts broke out at the exact same moment.
Right after that, the five elders moved like shadows. They ran quickly to their correct spots based on an old, secret design, forming a circle to protect Tang Xiao, who stood at the absolute center of the formation.
At the same time, the bright spirit rings under their feet started to glow with a blinding light. They lifted their massive Clear Sky Hammers together. The heavy metal bodies of the hammers began to shake and make a deep humming sound. Then, thick lines of dark spirit power shot up from the weapons like pillars of black light. The beams met high in the air, twisting and mixing together to form a giant web of energy.
