Chapter 124: Tang Xiao, Come Into My Human Emperor Banner and Repent!
Sensing Tang Hao's intent, Jiang Li's movements were clearly faster.
Countless blue silver vines, centered around the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul in his hand, instantly filled the area, forcibly separating Tang Hao and Tang Xiao into two separate battlefields.
Unable to defeat him, Tang Hao actually harbored such evil intentions. This Tang Hao, who deserved death, truly disgusted him to the core.
"Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, now it's my turn. Are you prepared for death?"
Tang Hao's life would be taken care of by his own dear disciple.
Today, since Tang Xiao had come here, he need not leave!
Perhaps sensing his elder brother might meet with misfortune, or perhaps fearing his own demise here, Tang Hao frantically smashed the walls formed by the blue silver vines with the great hammer in his hand.
However, the speed at which he destroyed these vines was far slower than the rate at which they regenerated.
On Jiang Li's side, looking at Tang Xiao's grave expression, the smile at the corner of his mouth was impossible to suppress.
Ring Explosion and the Great Sumeru Hammer were ultimate techniques only each successive Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect could learn. Tang Xiao did not use them not because he hadn't received the Legacy, but solely because his physique was not as formidable as Tang Hao's, unable to forcibly wield such a power that could be called taboo.
Otherwise, the consequence of forcibly Cultivating it would be his body failing to withstand the immense power within the Soul Rings, resulting in death by explosion.
Just thinking about soon obtaining the two remaining secret techniques of the Clear Sky Sect made Jiang Li unbearably excited.
"Your Excellency Jiang Li, today's matter is my Clear Sky Sect's mistake. Afterwards, we will provide appropriate compensation. There is no need for us to end in mutual destruction."
"Little San ultimately carries the Bloodline of my Clear Sky Sect. If you kill us brothers here, you will inevitably subject that child to condemnation from the entire continent."
After the previous exchange, Tang Xiao had clearly sensed that Jiang Li's strength surpassed his own.
Even with the two brothers joining forces against him, they were at a disadvantage, let alone now in a one-on-one situation.
Immediately, he employed the Clear Sky Sect's habitual tactic of moral coercion.
"Tang Xiao, if I don't kill you today, Little San will eventually kill you all one by one."
"Since your ultimate fate is death regardless, it's better for me, as his Master, to lend a hand to my filial disciple."
Tang Xiao's face immediately revealed a look of absurdity.
In his understanding, no matter how much resentment that child Tang San held towards their Clear Sky Sect, he would never commit patricide and clan annihilation. They were family, flesh and blood connected by unbreakable bonds!
"Brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Little San is a good child, how could he do such a thing!"
Seeing this, a subtle smile curled at the corner of Jiang Li's lips. "Tang Xiao, wasn't it your Clear Sky Sect that schemed to kill Little San's mother back then?"
"All for the sake of having a Titled Douluo with a 100,000-year soul ring appear within your Sect."
"Unfortunately, these hidden secrets are now precisely known to the present Little San."
As the words fell, Tang Xiao felt a chill shoot straight to the crown of his head.
He was naturally also privy to that matter back then. For the sake of the Sect's interests, he had no choice but to watch events unfold.
But it was precisely because of the guilt in his heart that he had remained unmarried all these years, hoping to alleviate his remorse towards Ah Yin.
Thus, it could explain why Tang San held not a shred of goodwill, but even such aversion, towards their Clear Sky Sect.
"You..."
Tang Xiao originally wanted to make some excuses, but what was done was done.
Moreover, given the current situation, a life-and-death battle between him and Jiang Li was inevitable.
"Enough talk, brat. Prepare to die!"
Tang Xiao immediately initiated his Martial Soul's true form, then gathered power in the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand. In response, Jiang Li remained unmoved.
Suddenly, the Qi around him underwent a drastic change, emanating an eerie and ominous aura.
"Damnable brat, you are actually a Fallen Spirit Master as well! I cannot let you live today!"
The great hammer slammed fiercely onto Jiang Li. The impact of the Soul Power spread through the surrounding blue silver vines, knocking the onlookers below to the ground.
However, the anticipated scenario of injuring Jiang Li did not materialize.
As the aftershocks dissipated and Tang Xiao saw the situation clearly, the one who had caught his Clear Sky Hammer was not Jiang Li, but Tang Ba, who should have long been dead!
"This... how is this possible?"
Quickly, Tang Xiao realized that historically, most famous Fallen Spirit Masters possessed some bizarre powers.
For a Fallen Spirit Master like Jiang Li, who had lurked in the human World for so long and Cultivated to the level of a Titled Douluo, having such means to control the deceased was not surprising.
"Tang Xiao, weren't you curious where Yang Wudi and the others learned the Clear Sky Nine Secrets from?"
"Rest assured, soon, the other secret methods of the Clear Sky Sect in your mind will also become destined possessions of my Tang Sect."
As Jiang Li waved his Human Emperor Banner, a glimmer of consciousness seemed to return to the soul of Tang Ba. Relying on a lifetime of combat memories, he now wielded the great hammer in his hand, launching ruthless blow after blow towards Tang Xiao.
Boom—
Blocking a strike head-on, Tang Xiao felt as if all his internal organs were shifting within him.
After being modified by Jiang Li's Human Emperor Banner, the power Tang Ba unleashed was naturally on par with his host, Jiang Li.
Tang Xiao knew deeply that today, he was fated to perish. The Ring Explosion ultimate technique and the Great Sumeru Hammer in his mind were arguably the most fundamental treasures of the Clear Sky Sect. Additionally, there were some mysteries of the Clear Sky that must not be known by outsiders.
Considering this, a cold, icy glint flashed in his eyes; he had clearly resolved to die.
"Brother Hao, after you return, you must become the new Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect and lead the Sect to prosperity once more!"
Tang Xiao's voice, carrying the fluctuations of Soul Power, resounded across the field. "No! Elder Brother! Don't do anything foolish!"
However, this time, Tang Xiao offered no further response.
He erupted with all the Soul Power in his body and charged fiercely towards Jiang Li's direction. "Today, I shall self-destruct and send this evil being like you to the Nine Nether with me!"
"Though I die, I remain the Roaring Heaven Douluo!"
"..."
"Master, be careful!!!!"
"No! Elder Brother!"
"..."
With a wave of the black banner in Jiang Li's hand, an inescapable force instantly locked onto Tang Xiao's direction.
At this moment, Tang Xiao felt as if something was about to be torn from his body, and his body no longer obeyed his commands.
"Heh heh heh heh heh—"
"Tang Xiao, come into my Human Emperor Banner and repent!"
