Chapter 177 The Haotian Sect's Impotent Fury Leads to Tang Chen's Admitted Defeat!
"Tang...Tang Hao was killed by Xiang Yu with only a sliver of health remaining, who then used his ultimate skill to turn the tables!!"
After an unknown amount of time, a cry of surprise broke the deathly silence.
Immediately afterwards, a tidal wave of exclamations and discussions swept in.
"Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer has been cleaved in two, and his right arm has been severed!"
"A soul bone! It's a soul bone that's tens of thousands of years old! Tang Hao's right arm soul bone has been cleaved out!"
"After Tang Hao lost this soul bone, his level plummeted to level 89, a full six levels!"
"Isn't the Clear Sky Hammer supposed to be all about brute force? How come it's like a piece of paper in front of the Overlord Slash? It's too laughable!"
"Who is the strongest in the world is now crystal clear!"
The white crane of the Min clan, the group of worshippers of the Spirit Hall, and Qian Renxue disguised as Xue Qinghe.
They had hated Tang Hao for a long time, and now that they saw Tang Hao's miserable state, they all showed expressions of wild joy!
The Haotian Sect has lost its title as the number one weapon spirit in the world, and it has also lost its title as the number one hammer spirit in the world.
Now, the title of the strongest martial spirit in the world is gone!
Almost all of the titles they were so proud of have disappeared!
It's become a laughing stock!
(Do you babies like Qian Renxue?)
(If Qian Renxue wanted to join Chang'an, would any of the babies object?)
...
On the other hand, the Clear Sky Sect, which supported Tang Hao, was already in complete chaos.
"Second Brother!"
Tang Yuehua nearly collapsed, her piercing cries echoing throughout the room.
"Tang Hao!!"
The elders of the Haotian Sect were in no better shape, their faces ashen.
Although they had a strained relationship with Tang Hao, they have now returned to the Haotian Sect.
Now that they've been crippled in front of the whole world by Chang'an, this is a slap in the face to their sect!
"How dare Chang'an treat our Haotian Sect members so cruelly! This is outrageous!!!"
The elders were furious and stared intently at Xiang Yu on the arena.
"Tang Hao, you're truly a piece of trash. I overestimated you!"
The King of Slaughter cursed inwardly.
His plan to exchange two soul bones for Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's qualification to participate in the competition was wasted.
But in order to maintain Tang Chen's public image, he pretended to be anxious and sternly shouted at the elder beside him:
"What are you all standing there for? Quickly, carry Hao'er down! You must save his life!!"
The elders seemed to wake from a dream and rushed to the arena.
The other elders went to help Tang Hao up, while the seventh elder, Tang Lie, went to retrieve the severed arm and soul bone.
But just as he picked up the soul bone, a majestic thunderclap suddenly rang out:
"Wait!"
Sikong Zhen stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over Tang Lie like lightning, and said authoritatively:
"According to the rules, all foreign items carried by the defeated side belong to the victorious side!"
"Since this soul bone has already fallen, it rightfully belongs to Chang'an. Hand it over!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Lie flew into a rage:
"What did you say? You people from Chang'an are going too far!"
"They severed an arm of one of my Haotian Sect members and now they want to seize my sect's inherited soul bone! Do they really think my Haotian Sect is helpless?!"
The other elders echoed their sentiments, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
"presumptuous!!"
The lightning around Sikong Zhen suddenly surged, unleashing an extreme pressure.
"Ahhh!!"
The elders of the Haotian Sect were instantly crushed to the ground, unable to move.
He could only cast a pleading look at Tang Chen in the spectator stands.
Everyone who witnessed this scene turned their gaze to the King of Slaughter in the spectator stands.
Everyone knows that Tang Chen dotes on Tang Hao the most, and has given him the sect's secret techniques and soul bones.
Now that Tang Hao has suffered such a severe injury and his soul bone is about to be taken away, he certainly won't let it go and sit idly by, right?!
However, the King of Carnage's reaction surprised everyone.
He's not the real Tang Chen, so why would he offend Chang'an, the most powerful force in the world?
"Our Haotian Sect was outmatched in this battle, and this soul bone should rightfully belong to Chang'an!"
"Seventh Brother, give him the soul bone!"
The King of Slaughter flashed onto the arena and glared at Tang Lie.
"Uncle, what did you say?!"
The elders stared in disbelief at the King of Slaughter.
They couldn't believe their uncle would say such a thing.
Fearing they might cause further trouble, the King of Slaughter quickly whispered:
"Don't worry, when it's my turn to compete later, I will seek justice for Hao'er and the Haotian Sect!"
Upon hearing this, the elders finally managed to suppress their resentment and unwillingness.
"for you!"
Tang Lie slowly released his grip on the soul bone and handed it to Sikong Zhen in a humiliating manner.
"Let's go down!"
The King of Slaughter raised his arm and gave a call.
The elders had no choice but to swallow their humiliation and lead Tang Hao off the stage.
This scene caused an uproar among all living beings in the world!
"What?! Tang Chen actually backed down?!"
"Is he really the same Tang Chen who's so protective of his own? He actually chickened out!"
"A cowardly soldier is one coward, and a cowardly general makes a whole bunch of cowards! The Haotian Sect is truly a damn waste!"
"Chang'an is the number one power in the world, how could the Haotian Sect not back down? They're nothing but a fart in front of Chang'an!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, the once number one sect in the world has fallen to such a state, it's truly unbearable to look at!"
A wave of disdainful gazes swept over the Haotian Sect members.
Those watching from Shrek Academy were completely dumbfounded.
"Dad! No—!"
Upon seeing his father's tragic state, Tang San immediately knelt down on the ground, covering his face and weeping bitterly.
"The mistress..."
Everyone wanted to step forward to comfort Tang San, but Tang San suddenly became agitated.
He suddenly stood up, grabbed Yu Xiaogang by the collar, and roared:
"Yu Xiaogang! Didn't you say my dad was sure to win? But look at him now?!"
"You must give me and my father an explanation! Otherwise, you're already courting death!!"
Yu Xiaogang was startled, and his body trembled instinctively.
"Tang San!"
Flanders gave a stern shout:
"It wasn't Xiaogang who asked your father to participate in the competition, so what business is it of his?!"
Zhao Wuji and the others nodded in agreement:
"Yes, yes, mistress, calm down. We understand how you feel, but all of this is Chang'an's fault!"
Tang San listened and instantly came to his senses, quickly releasing Yu Xiaogang.
"That's right! That's right! It's all Chang'an's fault! It's all Chang'an's fault!"
"I'm going to find my dad!!!"
After saying that, Tang San suddenly ran away, rushing towards Chang'an.
"The mistress!"
The group exchanged glances, their faces filled with helplessness.
Flander spoke first:
"He's out of control right now, we definitely can't persuade him. Let's follow him and see what happens."
Then, everyone followed.
Yu Xiaogang was dissatisfied with Tang San's behavior just now; it was simply a rebellious disciple who dared to offend his master!
But considering that he still needed to put his theories into practice and promote them, he held back!
On the competition stage.
Sikong Zhen's voice boomed like thunder as he solemnly announced:
"Ninth match, Chang'an City – Xiang Yu wins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people of Chang'an cheered.
Another winning streak! Nine consecutive wins, undefeated since the start of the season!
From his seat in the main spectator section, Ye Han watched Tang Hao's miserable state and felt a surge of satisfaction.
"Arrogance will be punished by Heaven. How dare little Tang Hao act so presumptuously in my Chang'an? He's nothing but a clown!"
"Xiang Yu's bravery is unparalleled throughout history. The lower his health, the more powerful his ultimate move becomes. How dare Tang Hao confront him head-on?!"
Just then, the sky above lit up again, updating the competition information simultaneously:
[The Ultimate King of Glory Peak Tournament]
[Match 9: [Haotian Sect - Tang Hao] vs. [Chang'an City - Xiang Yu]!]
[Winner: Xiang Yu of Chang'an City!]
[Based on your matchmaking reward: Soul Power increased by one level!]
[Additional Evaluation (Only in Special Circumstances): Xiang Yu's martial spirit possesses a special ability, "Unwavering Will to Conquer," where his damage reduction and attack power increase as his health decreases. In a low-health state, he can even unleash several times his original combat power, making him extremely terrifying!]
"My God! So that's how it is!!"
All living beings cried out in alarm; no wonder Xiang Yu had to withstand Tang Hao's strongest attack head-on.
It turns out that Xiang Yu wasn't stupid; he did it on purpose, sacrificing his health to inflict damage!
"boom--"
As the celestial curtain closed, a golden beam of light descended from the sky, precisely enveloping Xiang Yu!
