Chapter 90: Defeated Tang Hu, Preparing to Leave.
The immense energy churned up a large amount of dust on the field. After the residual force of the blow subsided, Tang Hu concluded that the pig had no chance of withstanding this blow.
Just when he thought victory was assured and was preparing to celebrate,
Suddenly, darkness quickly enveloped the small space.
Yu Xiaolie activated his soul bone skill, and darkness and cold swept towards Tang Hu.
However, Tang Hu seemed to have known Yu Xiaolie's moves all along. He roared, his veins bulging, and his already burly figure grew even larger.
The momentum was about to reach its peak.
Yang Xian had told him that after the sky darkened, a dragon's roar would sound, and their attacks, speed, and power would be restricted.
Tang Hu bent his left leg and gripped the Haotian Hammer tightly in his right hand.
To break the deadlock, we must overwhelm the opponent with unstoppable momentum!
This time, Tang Hu swung the Haotian Hammer in mid-air, and with each swing, his momentum increased.
Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique!
This is a divine skill of the Haotian Sect. They need to hone it from a young age, and each additional swing of the hammer adds up to the power.
In the darkness, Yu Xiaolie's lips curled into a confident smile; he would not let Tang Hu continue.
"Fourth Soul Skill - Dragon's Might!"
A dragon's roar echoed throughout the courtyard of the Broken Clan, and the fear emanating from the depths of their souls chilled everyone present.
However, Tang Hu, wielding a giant hammer in the darkness, was still poised to strike, as if he were ready to deliver the final blow at any moment!
The dragon's might had a limited effect on the Haotian Hammer, especially on Tang Hu, who was currently using the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. Due to the immense potential energy, Tang Hu had already disregarded all external influences.
Even with his speed and strength limited, all he could see was the desire to wield the Haotian Hammer to its limit.
No matter which way the wind blows, I will shatter it with a single hammer blow!
Seeing this, Yu Xiaolie focused intently on Tang Hu's every move.
The dragon cub dodged quickly, catching Tang Hu just as he was about to swing his hammer again, and slammed into his waist.
In that very instant, a slight error can lead to a huge difference.
Tang Hu's movements were forced into a distorted state. He tried to make amends, but found himself feeling as if he were sinking into a swamp.
It has also become difficult to mobilize soul power.
"First Soul Skill - Mountain Shaking Strike!"
Left with no other option, Tang Hu could only unleash his remaining power in a final act of resistance.
Yu Xiaolie smiled calmly, moving unhurriedly in the darkness.
The dragon cub turned around again.
Strike while the iron is hot and kill him!
Another violent impact.
Tang Hu's body veered off course, and the Haotian Hammer in his hand was heading away from him in the same direction he had just charged up to attack.
The Haotian Hammer went out of control and flew out of his hand. Its immense power backfired on Tang Hu, causing him a sharp pain.
After finally regaining his footing, Yu Xiaolie appeared beside him and kicked Tang Hu in the neck.
"Bang--"
A loud bang echoed throughout the stadium.
What followed was complete silence.
The darkness and cold faded away.
All the people saw was that Tang Hu had fainted on the ground and could no longer move.
Unexpectedly, even the world's number one weapon spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, has been defeated.
After a long while, several inner disciples reacted and carried him away.
Yang Xian's face turned ashen. He had thought that with Tang Hu's intervention, they would surely achieve a great victory.
He can also use this battle with Tang Hu to finally repair the courage that Yu Xiaolie has broken.
But relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. Yang Xian may live in Yu Xiaolie's shadow forever.
The outer disciples, on the other hand, wore worried expressions and showed no joy of victory.
Yang Cheng came to Yu Xiaolie's side and said:
"Captain Lie, you'd better leave quickly. Knowing them as I do, they definitely won't let you go."
The outer disciples also chimed in:
"Yes, yes, I'm afraid that if Tang Hu goes back, he'll continue to find people to help him. They won't give up until they defeat you!"
Over the past year, Yu Xiaolie has lived peacefully with the outer disciples, helping them with their cultivation and having already become one of them.
Even the inner disciples dared not act presumptuously in front of them.
Even knowing they would face difficulties in the future, the outer disciples were unwilling to push Yu Xiaolie into the limelight.
Yu Xiaolie remained calm and said, "If they want to come, then let them come."
It was evening.
Yu Xiaolie went to the alchemy room as usual.
Over the course of a year, he and Yang Wudi, one old and one young, became more like close friends, and even the way they addressed each other changed.
At this moment, Yu Xiaolie had already arrived in front of the medicine furnace.
"Old Yang, this medicine of yours... seems a bit off. Is the heat not quite right?"
Yu Xiaolie stared at the medicine furnace, his brows furrowed slightly.
Yang Wudi glared at him, his hand movements unaffected, and said:
"You brat, what do you know? This is my improved refining method. The medicinal effects will be increased by at least 30% after it comes out!"
The two continued to argue about the prescription and the efficacy of the medicine.
The night grew deeper.
Yu Xiaolie stared at the medicine in the furnace and slowly began to speak:
"Old Yang, do you know about Tang Hu's incident today?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Wudi paused for a moment, then squinted at Yu Xiaolie:
"Yes, I know."
Yang Wudi then turned his gaze back to the furnace.
"I didn't expect that you could even defeat Tang Hu. Among the younger generation of disciples in the Haotian Sect, his strength is considered to be among the best."
Yang Wudi continued what he was doing, his voice low.
"Won't they investigate you for harboring an outsider?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Wudi laughed heartily. He might not be able to guarantee anything about other matters, but he knew Haotian Sect's character very well.
"The people of the Haotian Sect have always been domineering and magnanimous; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to wield the Haotian Hammer so boldly and freely."
Yang Wudi paused, the image of the Haotian Sect Master appearing in his mind, before continuing:
"Don't worry, once you defeat them, all they'll think about is how to challenge you again and win."
"As for investigating your identity and then kicking you out, that's something only petty scoundrels would do; they wouldn't stoop to such a thing."
Yu Xiaolie pondered for a moment, and realized that this was in line with their style.
Just like in the original story, the Mighty Clan at Shrek Academy, where the Mighty Ape fought from grandchildren to grandfathers, yet no one chose to go to the teachers or the dean to demand accountability or expulsion of the scoundrels.
He nodded.
After a moment of silence, Yu Xiaolie spoke earnestly once again:
"But I still have to leave."
At this moment, Yang Wudi stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Yu Xiaolie, and asked:
"You brat, you think you can fly now that your wings have hardened?"
Yu Xiaolie smiled wryly and explained:
"You misunderstand. I'm already level 50 and preparing to advance to Soul King. It's time to hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings. After that, I have some things to do and I'm afraid I won't be back for a while."
Yang Wudi lowered his head, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, his expression dazed.
There is appreciation, and there is nostalgia.
A year ago, when Yu Xiaolie first came to the Po Clan, he was only very interested in its pharmacological knowledge.
But after spending time together, the two became like close friends despite their age difference, and when the day of parting finally came, they were still somewhat reluctant to leave.
Over the past year, Yu Xiaolie had helped him a lot with alchemy, but apart from granting him the freedom to come and go from the sect, he hadn't provided any substantial assistance.
After a long silence, Yang Wudi pondered and said:
"Let me take you to hunt soul beasts. I also need to find some medicinal herbs."
