"You still have the nerve to call me Seventh Elder?!"
Tang Lie glared, taking a sudden step forward. As his foot landed heavily, a wave of pressure instantly erupted from within him.
To Tang Lie's surprise, faced with this pressure, although Tang Yuehua's face flashed with a hint of paleness, she gritted her teeth tightly, unwilling to retreat even half a step!
A flash of deep astonishment crossed Tang Lie's eyes. He hadn't expected his niece, universally recognized as a waste, to be able to withstand his pressure, even if it was just an insignificant trace of it.
He snorted coldly and finally withdrew it.
But his anger immediately reclaimed the high ground of his reason. He pointed at Tang Yuehua's nose and cursed, "What kind of evil spell have you fallen under?"
"Why would you announce your withdrawal from the Clear Sky Sect in public, in the outside world, in front of so many people?!"
Tang Lie asked with heartbreaking grief, his voice echoing within the soundproof barrier: "Do you know how much pain this stupid thing you did has caused your eldest brother within the Sect?!"
"How much shame it has brought upon the Sect, which was already living in seclusion and sealed off from the world! What exactly do you consider the Sect that gave birth to you and raised you!"
Tang Lie stared fixedly into her eyes, his weathered face filled with a final glimmer of hope: "Yuehua, tell me honestly, is it the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, or some other force, that is threatening your life to make you do this?"
"Tell me, don't be afraid, come back to the Sect with me!"
Go back to the Sect? Go back to continue being that worthless waste? Or perhaps, to keep her like a canary, forever caged in those bitter, cold mountains?
Recalling the youth hiding behind the screen at this moment, the one who could bestow power upon her, she could no longer go back.
Tang Yuehua took a deep breath, straightened her slender and delicate back, and met Tang Lie's gaze, which seemed intent on killing, without any fear.
"Seventh Elder, you don't need to guess anymore. No one in this world is coercing me."
Tang Yuehua's voice was calm: "Leaving the Clear Sky Sect is a decision I, Tang Yuehua, made voluntarily and after careful consideration."
Hearing this ruthless and resolute answer, Tang Lie laughed in extreme anger: "Good, good, good! A good 'voluntary'! A good 'careful consideration'!"
"Since you are so ungrateful and stubborn to the end, then today, I will act on behalf of your deceased parents and teach you a lesson, you girl who knows not the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Tang Lie's Killing Intent boiled: "I must take you back to the Sect today to face family law! You must know very well what a miserable end awaits those who betray the Sect!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the next moment, a huge Clear Sky Hammer, radiating terrifying high temperatures, instantly appeared in Tang Lie's hand!
Surprisingly, his Clear Sky Hammer was completely different from the ice-attribute one belonging to Tang Hao.
Tang Lie's Clear Sky Hammer was dark red all over, and the hammer body was actually surrounded by raging flames. This was actually a fire-attribute Clear Sky Hammer!
Just as Tang Lie was holding the Blazing Clear Sky Hammer, preparing to charge towards Tang Yuehua.
Tang Yuehua stood quietly in place, not yielding an inch.
Although she was very nervous facing the attack of a Titled Douluo, and her palms were sweating, she knew very well that Lin Yuan would never sit idly by and ignore her.
Sure enough!
The moment Tang Lie took his second step, a piercing sound of breaking air suddenly rang out!
The next moment, a silver spear, entirely silver-white and radiating sharp Killing Intent, shot in from outside the guest room like a lightning bolt!
The silver spear, carrying invincible penetrating power, instantly nailed itself fiercely into the hard floor between Tang Lie and Tang Yuehua.
The tail of the spear was still vibrating violently, emitting a humming sound like a Dragon's roar!
Immediately after, a calm yet domineering voice clearly reached Tang Lie's ears: "She, I will protect."
Hearing this sudden voice, Tang Lie immediately stopped his charge. Not only did he not feel panic, but he chuckled coldly.
In fact, the reason he released the Clear Sky Hammer as soon as he came up and made a gesture to attack Tang Yuehua was undoubtedly a trick he was playing to test if there was really someone in the dark who would intervene to protect this niece who betrayed the Sect.
Don't look at Tang Lie's hot-tempered and rough appearance on the surface; as the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, he was also an old fox who was shrewd and had fine details within his roughness.
However, Tang Lie never expected that it was precisely because of this self-righteous testing action of his that his precious life would be completely buried later!
If he had just verbally persuaded Tang Yuehua to return and had no real intent to attack or Killing Intent towards her, Lin Yuan in the dark might have shown mercy and spared his old life, just driving him away (though that was impossible).
It's a pity he brought this upon himself.
At this moment, Tang Lie had no idea that the Grim Reaper had arrived, nor was he afraid of exposing his Titled Douluo aura in this sensitive Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Anyway, others couldn't possibly know it was him.
He looked down at the silver spear Spirit stuck on the ground, searched his memory quickly, and found that he had never seen this type of Spirit before.
This spear was definitely not the Spirit symbol of any famous Titled Douluo in his memory on the continent.
Since it wasn't one of those troublesome Old freaks, then he, Tang Lie, had absolutely nothing to fear!
In these years of living in seclusion, he had already successfully advanced from a Spirit Douluo to the Titled Douluo Realm!
And today's unavoidable battle was also his first battle to show his strength to the outside world after becoming a Titled Douluo powerhouse!
He would use the enemy's blood to sacrifice to his Blazing Clear Sky Hammer!
The next moment, Tang Lie no longer hid, and his spirit power erupted completely like a volcanic eruption!
Beneath him, two yellow, two purple, and five black—a total of nine spirit rings radiating terrifying pressure—slowly emerged and pulsated up and down.
Tang Lie held the flaming Clear Sky Hammer in one hand, scanned the surroundings of the guest room with eyes like electricity, and shouted arrogantly: "Who exactly are you, Your Excellency?! Which force on the continent do you come from?"
"Don't you know that Tang Yuehua is a member of my Clear Sky Sect? You dare to forcibly interfere in the family affairs of my Clear Sky Sect?!"
Tang Lie sneered repeatedly, continuing to test: "Could it be that you are a consultant secretly cultivated by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family? Or someone from another force?"
"Since you dare to make a move, why hide your head and show your tail? Why not come out and meet me!"
Just as Tang Lie's voice fell.
"Heh."
A cold laugh full of disdain and contempt rang out abruptly in the guest room.
"A frog in a well like you is not worthy of knowing my true name."
"A mere low-level Titled Douluo who has just stepped into the threshold of Level Ninety, and you dare to spout such nonsense in front of me. What do you have to be arrogant about?"
Along with this arrogant voice.
The next moment, Tang Lie only felt a flash of silver before his eyes.
Zhao Yun's tall, heroic figure in white robes appeared instantly like a ghost at the spot where the spear had landed.
Zhao Yun casually extended one hand, and the silver spear that was deeply nailed into the floor flew back into his palm automatically, instantly returning to its place.
Zhao Yun held the spear, looking at Tang Lie in front of him with an indifferent and cold gaze—the gaze was as if he were looking at an ant.
Being stared at by this condescending look of contempt, Tang Lie immediately felt an unprecedented, huge insult.
He frowned tightly and laughed in extreme anger: "You young brat who knows not the immensity of heaven and earth, what big words! How dare you be so arrogant!"
Yes, because Zhao Yun's own cultivation Rank was truly too unfathomable, reaching the super Douluo Realm.
This Peak cultivation made his appearance look completely like a young man in his thirties.
And Tang Lie looked much older than Zhao Yun.
So in Tang Lie's view, the Zhao Yun in front of him was at most a junior with slightly better talent.
How high could a young man in his thirties' Rank possibly be? Spirit Saint? Or Spirit Douluo?
It's just that this fool didn't think carefully; at this moment, as a dignified Titled Douluo, he couldn't even see a shred of Zhao Yun's true cultivation Realm!
Zhao Yun didn't bother to waste any more words with a dying man.
He casually raised the silver spear in his hand, pointing the tip straight at Tang Lie, without any emotional fluctuation in his tone: "I will now, out of mercy, give you three seconds. Immediately take your hammer and get out of here."
"Otherwise, die!"
Hearing this arrogant statement, Tang Lie seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world and immediately looked up and laughed loudly.
"Boastful! Since you have already seen the nine spirit rings on my body, don't you know I am a Titled Douluo?!"
Tang Lie sneered disdainfully: "You still dare to be so arrogant and tell me to get out? You are truly an ignorant brat who doesn't know what death is!"
"Good! Since you are looking for death, then today I will let you, this frog in a well, properly see what the true power of a Titled Douluo is!"
Tang Lie's face was ferocious, and he turned his head to glare fiercely at Tang Yuehua: "I suppose this rebellious daughter, Yuehua, must have defected to the hidden force you belong to, right?"
"Although I don't know what kind of dirty, unspeakable methods you used in secret to make Yuehua determined to leave the Clear Sky Sect."
"But today, I will definitely use this Clear Sky Hammer in my hand to smash you all into meat paste. I will make you completely regret provoking my Clear Sky Sect!"
Before the words faded, Tang Lie stopped talking nonsense. His third purple spirit ring suddenly lit up, erupting with dazzling light!
"Third Spirit Ability, Blazing Sun!"
Tang Lie gripped the hammer handle with both hands and jumped violently into mid-air. The Blazing Clear Sky Hammer in his hand instantly expanded by a circle, carrying a terrifying high temperature capable of melting steel, and smashed down violently!
With this blow, while hammering the ground, he could also summon a large number of flaming boulders.
Facing this blow, Zhao Yun's face showed no panic.
He didn't even release any of his spirit rings.
Zhao Yun just flicked his wrist casually and used a very ordinary spear technique.
A crisp and deafening sound of metal clashing exploded in the guest room.
Zhao Yun's seemingly slender silver spear actually picked at the weakest point of that huge Clear Sky Hammer in such an understated way.
That terrifying explosive flame and immense force were like a clay ox entering the sea, instantly neutralized by Zhao Yun's exquisite spear technique without a trace.
Tang Lie's third spirit ring ability was actually neutralized so simply!
Tang Lie's expression changed drastically, his pupils contracted violently, and stormy seas surged in his heart.
Although this blow of his was only his third spirit ring ability, the power of a Titled Douluo's third spirit ring ability was also terrifyingly immense.
This was definitely not something a Spirit Douluo could easily block without even releasing their spirit rings, let alone cutting it off directly while his third Spirit Ability was in use!
Could it be that this young man who looked only thirty-something was not some Spirit Douluo, but a deeply hidden Titled Douluo?!
However, this ridiculous thought had just emerged in his mind when it was immediately denied by Tang Lie.
This was absolutely impossible!
You know, the youngest recognized Titled Douluo on the continent was Tang Hao!
And when Tang Hao broke through to Level Ninety, he was already forty-four years old!
The spear-wielding youth in front of him looked at most like he was just over thirty. How could he possibly be a Titled Douluo?
Tang Lie concluded that it must be that this youth in front of him had hidden the use of his Spirit Ability, which was why he had blocked his third Spirit Ability.
However, next, the stubborn Tang Lie was about to pay the most painful price of his life for his arrogance and ignorance.
"Junior, stop being rampant! Take another hammer from me!"
Tang Lie roared, and his sixth black ten thousand year spirit ring suddenly erupted with black light!
"Sixth Spirit Ability, Spirit Clone!"
In an instant, Tang Lie actually summoned a second Blazing Clear Sky Hammer.
Under this Spirit Ability, the damage of all his Spirit abilities doubled, and the two hammers attacked in coordination, with terrifying power.
Subsequently, Tang Lie controlled these two Clear Sky Hammers to attack Zhao Yun.
This violent wave of energy instantly swept through the entire room. If not stopped, this Moon Pavilion would probably be torn into pieces by the aftermath!
However, just one second before this destructive energy wave was about to spread out.
Zhao Yun just waved his left hand casually, and a transparent yet indestructible spirit power barrier instantly shrouded the entire space.
The power emitted by Tang Lie's two Clear Sky Hammers, when touching this barrier, was like a breeze brushing over the surface of the water, unable to stir up even half a ripple!
Facing the two flaming giant hammers smashing down, Zhao Yun himself just had a cold look in his eyes.
The silver spear in his hand thrust forward casually, piercing a sharp spear light at this monstrous sixth Spirit Ability respectively!
No fancy moves, he didn't even use any amplification skills!
This pure spear light of Zhao Yun instantly pierced through those two huge Blazing Clear Sky Hammers.
Tang Lie's proud ten thousand year sixth Spirit Ability was just like that, cleanly and thoroughly broken by this plain shot from Zhao Yun!
