A pitch-black hammer, about two meters long, wreathed in lightning and coiled with faint patterns, descended from the sky, crashing down between Hu Liena's group of seven and Tang San.
The spider spears launched from the hands of Hu Liena and the others were all sent flying.
Everyone stared at this scene in astonishment.
On the main VIP platform, Ning Fengzhi's gaze froze, and Sword Douluo's gaze froze; among those present, the hearts of almost everyone were trembling at this moment.
What was this hammer? I fear there were not many people present who did not recognize it—it was the Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang San had used it not long ago, but compared to this one, his use of the Clear Sky Hammer was like a dwarf standing before a giant.
Only Xiao Se and Bibi Dong had the corners of their mouths slightly raised. This Tang Ritian, no matter where he went, always had that arrogant, domineering air.
"A bunch of wet-behind-the-ears brats, daring to hurt my son."
In the sky, Tang Ritian stood in the air, nine spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red—rising from beneath his feet. He raised his hand to recall the Clear Sky Hammer, and a majestic Aura descended from the sky, rendering everyone on the competition stage, except for Hu Liena, unable to move.
"Dad." Tang San's eyes lit up. He had thought he was surely going to die, but he hadn't expected his father to have been guarding him all along.
"A defeated opponent speaking big words." Bibi Dong rose and waved her jade hand, instantly disintegrating Tang Ritian's Aura.
"Hmph, Supreme Pontiff Palace, what a good Supreme Pontiff Palace. Bibi Dong, today I will let you see what a true Clear Sky Avatar is." Tang Ritian was slightly stunned, then snorted coldly. He gripped the Clear Sky Hammer with both hands and raised it above his head. His seventh spirit ring suddenly lit up, and a half-body giant, dozens of meters tall and holding an iron hammer, appeared around his body.
The giant's movements were synchronized with Tang Ritian's. It swung the great hammer, smashing furiously toward the Supreme Pontiff Palace behind Bibi Dong.
"Sect Master, this is bad. Tang Ritian's target is the Supreme Pontiff Palace. Let's go quickly." Sword Douluo grabbed Ning Fengzhi's shoulder, and without waiting for a reply, his figure flickered, leaving Tang Ritian's attack range.
"You two, go capture that rabbit." Bibi Dong glanced at Gui Mei and Yue Guan.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Supreme Pontiff." Yue Guan and Gui Mei bowed, and their figures vanished from the spot.
Bibi Dong held her Angel Scepter and stood in place, not in a rush to act. Instead, she feigned an appearance of being quite interested as she looked at Xiao Se and Qian Renxue, who were not far away.
"No, this is bad. Your Highness the Crown Prince is still there." Seeing Bibi Dong's 'borrowing a knife to kill' demeanor, Ning Fengzhi exclaimed. Just as he was about to have Sword Douluo go to the rescue, he saw Xiao Se, who was sitting beside Qian Renxue, slowly stand up. He spread his hands, and a ball of cyan flame and a ball of pink flame emerged from each.
Xiao Se brought his hands together, and the two flames merged, finally turning into a bowl-sized, cyan-pink fire lotus that flew toward Tang Ritian's Clear Sky Avatar.
"This is..." In the sky, Tang Ritian's pupils shrank violently. His mind raced, recalling that cyan-purple flame from two years ago that had severely injured him. The power of the fire lotus before him now was far from comparable to that one.
There was no dodging it. He gritted his teeth and swung the Clear Sky Hammer down fiercely.
The Clear Sky Avatar collided with the fire lotus and held for a moment. Affected by the intense heat of the fire lotus, cracks began to spread across the surface of the Clear Sky Avatar.
"Push it back for me!"
The Clear Sky Avatar cracked, and Tang Ritian suffered a backlash. Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes shot out a chilling red light. The power of this fire lotus was far stronger than he had imagined. Immediately, his first through sixth spirit rings shattered simultaneously as he unleashed the Ring Explosion skill. Only then did he block the fire lotus's assault.
"It's Ring Explosion." From within the crowd, behind Sword Douluo, came Ning Fengzhi's voice.
Hearing this, the crowd erupted in an uproar. Who could have imagined that the person beside Crown PrinceXue Qinghe was so powerful, actually forcing the Clear Sky Douluo to unleash the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate trump card technique?
"As expected of Tang Ritian, you're quite capable!" Xiao Se's mouth curled slightly. A golden flame rose in his hand, and with a casual flick, the ball of golden flame suddenly merged into the fire lotus.
The cyan-pink fire lotus rotated violently, erupting with a layer of golden light. Then, it suddenly expanded, and the fire lotus broke through the blockade of the Clear Sky Avatar, directly shattering Tang Ritian's Clear Sky Avatar.
"Ah!" Tang Ritian screamed as he was struck in the abdomen by the fire lotus. His body, like a cannonball, pierced through the clouds and flew diagonally into the high sky. About three hundred meters from the Supreme Pontiff Mountain, it emitted an extremely intense white light and exploded instantly.
Rumble.
The roaring sound echoed through heaven and earth, and even Spirit City trembled.
At this moment, everyone in Spirit City stared blankly at the sky, where it seemed as if two suns had appeared.
After a long while, the intense light gradually shrank, finally turning into a horizontal ray of light that disappeared into the horizon.
A black figure with only one arm remaining fell from the sky, and along with him fell three Spirit Bones emitting dazzling, precious light.
The figure held a broken and dilapidated Clear Sky Hammer, his face unrecognizable. Who else could it be but Tang Ritian?
Seeing this situation, almost everyone present swallowed hard. Even those who coveted the Spirit Bones dared not let greed arise in their hearts.
One by one, they looked at Xiao Se, who had crippled Tang Ritian, dumbstruck and unable to speak.
"Dad. Dad." Tang San, forcing himself to endure his severely wounded body, crawled with difficulty to the side of the dying Tang Ritian. He was stunned to discover that Tang Ritian's body was nearly at the end of its oil and the lamp was dry. "Dean, I beg you, please save my father."
"This..." Flender's face showed a look of embarrassment. He looked at Xiao Se and swallowed hard, wanting to say something but ultimately saying nothing. He knew that Tang Ritian had once attacked Xiao Se in Soto City, and based on his understanding of Xiao Se, he did not believe he would let Tang Ritian off.
He sighed immediately and shook his head without speaking.
"Teacher." Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang was stunned. Among those present, the only person who could save Tang Ritian was likely Bibi Dong. However, after seeing Bibi Dong's chilling gaze, he was afraid. He was afraid of returning to that terrifying Avici Hell.
Seeing that neither Yu Xiaogang nor Flender was willing to save his father, a trace of resentment flashed in Tang San's eyes. He looked at Ning Fengzhi not far away and cast a look of expectation at him. In his heart, he still had a fairly good impression of Ning Fengzhi, this approachable elder.
Ning Fengzhi secretly complained in his heart, feeling somewhat conflicted. If Tang Ritian hadn't been crippled, then out of consideration for Spirit Hall's strength, he would certainly have provided some help. But now that Tang Ritian was crippled—and had been crippled while including him, Sword Douluo, Xiao Se, and Crown PrinceXue Qinghe in his attack—it was a different story. Not only did he attack him without regard for anything, but he also had no practical value anymore. It wasn't worth offending Xiao Se or even Spirit Hall for his sake.
In other words, anyone with strength would not let this matter rest.
After all, if you want to fight Spirit Hall, then fight Spirit Hall. Why attack me? Did I eat your rice?
