Chapter 106. Should I use the explosive ring?
Back then, Qian Daoliu was indeed outmatched by Tang Chen, but he was not defeated by Tang Chen. Qian Daoliu treated Tang Chen as a peer, but Tang Chen, behind his back, called Qian Daoliu a coward. Tang Chen said that was fine, but the younger generations of the Tang family were all arrogant.
Qianxunji waved his hand and said, "Don't attack."
Then, he addressed Tang Xiao, "Six years ago, while hunting a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast, I was severely injured by Tang Hao. My Spirit Hall lost an elder and severely injured another. So this is how you, the Clear Sky Sect, view me, Qianxunji. And you, Tang Xiao, this junior, do you think that just because your brother Haozi can defeat me, you can, too?"
Tang Tian remained silent. Clearly, he agreed. Qianxunji was a weakling. If Tang Hao, a newly minted Titled Douluo, could defeat the long-established Qianxunji, what more could his eldest son, Tang Xiao, do?
"Can he?" Tang Xiao swung his Clear Sky Hammer in a mocking tone, "How can we know if we don't give it a try?"
"Alright, your challenge is accepted by this Emperor. You all, step aside." Qianxunji said, then descended from the air, landing on the marble of the Clear Sky Sect.
"Yes, Your Holiness." Although Qian Xunji had never spoken publicly about his strength, elders like Guang Ling, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo could vaguely sense his extraordinary qualities.
The elders regretted their decision to distance themselves from Qian Daoliu.
Hearing Qian Xunji's words, Tang Xiao was delighted. With the Spirit Hall now at the gates and twelve Titled Douluo threatening the Clear Sky Sect, the Clear Sky Sect was in imminent danger. However, in Tang Xiao's view, Qian Xunji's strength was modest, but his status was crucial. If he could capture Qian Xunji, he would surely be able to force the Spirit Hall's Titled Douluos to retreat.
Furthermore, Hao Di had gained worldwide fame after defeating Qian Xunji, and Tang Xiao was deeply envious. He also wanted to use this battle to crush Qian Xunji and the Spirit Hall, allowing the entire Douluo Continent to celebrate his fame as Xiao Tian Douluo.
"Give it your all! I'm not the Haodi who was just a Soul Douluo back then." Tang Xiao picked up the Clear Sky Hammer and smashed it down again and again, clearly stacking the Chaos Cloak Hammer technique.
Qianxunji folded his arms, not intending to summon his spirit, but instead watched Tang Xiao stack the Chaos Cloak Hammer technique.
Tang Xiao's eyes lit up with joy. The less Qianxunji cared about him, the greater his chances of capturing him. However, Qianxunji's lack of concern was truly infuriating.
Soon, Tang Xiao completed the Chaos Cloak Hammer technique stack and launched a single blow at Qianxunji, roaring, "Day Sky Hammer, Chaos Cloak, Ninety-nine Hundred Eleven Hammer."
Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer, with a domineering aura, smashed towards Qianxunji.
Ning Fengzhi asked Gu Rong, "I wonder how powerful Tang Xiao's hammer is?"
Gu Rong said in amazement, "It's worthy of the majestic Haotian Sect. The bright battle soul hammer. Xiaotian Douluo's hammer is even more powerful than the coward's sword. Even for me, it's not easy to take it. Qianxunji is probably too arrogant."
Ning Fengzhi nodded. He could also see Tang Xiao's idea of capturing the king first. He sent a voice message to Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi, Dai Tianfeng, Yu Yuanzhen and others and said, "Tang Xiao should want to capture Qianxunji. If Qianxunji is seriously injured later, we will take action immediately to stop the elders of the Spirit Hall and let the Haotian Sect capture Qianxunji."
"Good." Dai Tianfeng, Yu Yuanzhen and others responded.
Ning Fengzhi thought that Qian Xunji was too arrogant, and it was a good thing that he was arrogant. He was just captured by the Haotian Sect, and the Spirit Hall suffered a little loss and paid a little price. He stood up and played the role of a good guy, letting the Haotian Sect and the Spirit Hall get over this matter. The two sides turned hostility into friendship, the Haotian Sect was saved, and the three major sects could be united again. He was very happy.
Qian Xunji drew his sword and blocked Tang Xiao's seemingly invincible chaotic cloak hammer with one sword. The collision between the hammer and the sword caused the surrounding earth and space to collapse due to the aftermath of the collision.
Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi, and everyone present were stunned.
Ning Fengzhi's jaw dropped. He'd expected Qian Xunji to be once again crippled by Tang Xiao's hammering. And yet, now held captive by Tang Xiao, Qian Xunji had blocked Tang Xiao's charged Chaos Cloak with a single sword strike. How could this be possible?
Where was the supposedly weakest Pope?
"Xiaozi, is that all you have?" Qian Xunji asked playfully.
Tang Xiao stared at the motionless Qian Xunji in disbelief, stunned. "No, that's impossible! Come on!"
Tang Xiao retracted the Clear Sky Hammer and unleashed the ultimate power of the Sun and Sky Hammer: the Great Sumeru Hammer.
Far more powerful than the Chaos Cloak Hammer technique, the Clear Sky Hammer struck Qian Xunji. However, Tang Xiao's confident strike was once again blocked by Qian Xunji's sword strike. Though the ground beneath Qian Xunji collapsed under the weight, Qian Xunji remained unmoved, standing in mid-air.
"Damn it!" Tang Xiao's eyes flushed, his breath pounding. He'd hoped to use Qianxunji to establish his authority, to capture him and avert the Haotian Sect's crisis. But why hadn't he achieved the same result? Why couldn't he even challenge Qianxunji? Was the gap between him and Haodi really that great?
"How about using the ring explosion technique? Blast all nine rings, then use the Great Sumeru Hammer technique. Maybe that would be effective. Xiaozi, back then, Haozi blew all his spirit rings clean off," Qianxunji suggested.
Tang Xiao suddenly realized. Yes, when he'd first heard Haodi's famed debut, he'd fought one against three, severely wounding two and killing one. It'd filled him with enthusiasm, and he'd assumed Qianxunji was just that. He hadn't imagined Haodi's victory over Qianxunji would be so gruesome.
Even after his spirit rings were completely destroyed, he'd had to resort to the Great Sumeru Hammer. It seemed he wouldn't be able to defeat Qianxunji without going all out.
With this thought, Tang Xiao didn't hold back. He stepped back, revealed all nine spirit rings, and then exploded them, transforming them into pure energy that surged towards the Clear Sky Hammer.
He roared, "Sun and Sky Hammer, nine rings exploding simultaneously, Great Sumeru Hammer."
The terrifying Clear Sky Hammer's profound meaning smashed towards Qianxunji.
Ning Fengzhi's plans, which had been extinguished, were reignited by Tang Xiao's terrifying blow. He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Gu, how powerful was Tang Xiao's hammer?"
"I'm afraid it's reached the level of a Titled Douluo at level ninety-seven," Gu Rong said with emotion. "For a Titled Douluo at level ninety-four, to have reached this level, truly worthy of the mighty Clear Sky Sect and the Clear Sky Hammer."
Ning Fengzhi, upon hearing this, immediately felt a sense of hope and quickly contacted Yu Yuanzhen, Dai Tianfeng, and the others, his desire to stir up trouble once again brewing.
