Chapter 359: Battlefield Mutation, Three Sects Break Apart
At this moment, Yang Xiong gritted his teeth, looking at the three people opposite him. A trace of anger appeared in his eyes.
Since he began cultivating, he had never suffered such heavy injuries, and moreover, he was hurt by so-called companions. It seemed he had slacked off a bit these past few years.
After hearing Tang San's words, a look of disdain showed in Yang Xiong's eyes, "Tang San, it seems I did underestimate you, but who gave you the confidence to attack me?"
As Tang San had said, if an ordinary Limit Douluo suffered an attack of this level, there would be absolutely no chance of survival.
Only a god could survive. The difference between a god and a Limit Douluo was that their body and soul had undergone a metamorphosis. Not only could their divine soul exist endlessly, but their body had also transformed into a divine body. No matter how severe the injury, they could recover quickly.
Unfortunately, Yang Xiong was different from a Limit Douluo. In a sense, he was already a true god, just that his god position inheritance was incomplete.
And the incompletion of the Thunder God inheritance was not because his strength was lacking. On the contrary, his strength was too great. The power he mastered probably surpassed the gods of the God Realm long ago, so during the final torso and head inheritances, even the Thunder Qilin could do nothing to him.
Compared to the crazed Tang San, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong on the other side had different expressions.
Qian Renxue's face looked a bit ugly. Clearly, Yang Xiong's sudden sneak attack also exceeded her expectations. But having reached this stage, she had no way out. If Yang Xiong was allowed to continue developing, the destruction of the Spirit Empire would only be a matter of time.
As for Bibi Dong, her eyes appeared incredibly gloomy, as if all of this was within her expectations.
Yang Xiong was a bit puzzled, "Bibi Dong, I'm a bit confused. Didn't you want to unify the world? Why does it feel like you and Tang San were in cahoots long ago?"
"Furthermore, Tang San stole your Rakshasa God position. Could the grudges between you two be resolved so easily?"
Bibi Dong gave a cold sneer, "Yang Xiong, did you misunderstand something? I used to be an inheritor of the Rakshasa God as well. I understand the Rakshasa God better than anyone else in the world."
"The Rakshasa God is a god of slaughter, and also a god of evil. The Rakshasa God is filled with evil, slaughter, and blood. People like this have no faith to speak of; only benefits represent everything. And you and Tang San are destined to be incompatible."
A bitter smile formed at the corner of Yang Xiong's mouth, "It seems I truly lacked good judgment. It seems all my calculations over the years were in vain. To think I'm not as good as you in understanding enemies."
Bibi Dong said no more, turning to Tang San and Qian Renxue instead. "This Yang Xiong is stalling for time right now. Although I don't know what method he's using, he is trying to delay time to heal his wounds."
"If we can't kill Yang Xiong now, I fear the ones who die in the future will be us."
After Bibi Dong finished speaking, Qian Renxue and Tang San exchanged glances and swiftly attacked Yang Xiong. Naturally, they knew very clearly that if they didn't seize this opportunity, given Yang Xiong's character, he would annihilate them sooner or later.
Seeing the three attack at extreme speed, Yang Xiong forcefully endured his injuries. His right hand tightly gripped the Asura Demon Sword, blocking the enemies' attacks strike after strike.
The Asura God had passed down nine sword techniques to Yang Xiong, but all the techniques were offensive. There was no defensive move, not even a crowd control move. They simply maximized killing intent to slay the enemy.
Seeing Yang Xiong's situation, the Sword and Bone Douluos let out a fierce roar.
"Tang San, you despicable villain! Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan helped you, the Clear Sky Clan helped you, helped you so much! To think you would be so ungrateful!"
Unfortunately, even if the Sword and Bone Douluos forced themselves up, their initial injuries were simply too heavy to continue fighting.
Yang Wudi and Lin Gong exchanged a glance. Both seemed to reveal a trace of regret in their eyes. If they hadn't wanted to join the war, hadn't wanted to fight against the Spirit Empire, Yang Xiong, given his personality, probably wouldn't have come to the battlefield at all.
Using all their might, the two pushed their strength to the extreme, wanting to fly into the sky to help Yang Xiong buy some time.
But before they could react, Tang Xiao had already led the people of the Clear Sky Clan to block in front of Yang Wudi and the others. Even the Spirit Empire's priests, who were originally fighting Tang Xiao and his group, stopped attacking Tang Xiao and instead stared fixedly at Yang Wudi's group.
Yang Wudi's temper had always been fiery, "Tang Xiao, you bastard! Back then, your Clear Sky Clan broke its promise and abandoned the four single-attribute clans, causing us heavy losses. Today, you repeat the same mistake and collaborate with the Spirit Empire's people! Does your Clear Sky Clan have no sense of shame?"
A hint of guilt seemed to appear on Tang Xiao's face, but he quickly calmed down.
"Yang Wudi, our Clear Sky Clan doesn't want to fight your single-attribute clans. Just obediently stay where you are."
"Moreover, with your strength, staying put is a good thing for you. With the divine war reaching this stage, it's simply not something you can participate in."
Yang Wudi's face turned black, "Bullshit! How could the Clear Sky Clan produce people like you and Tang San? The Clear Sky Clan of the past had a backbone of iron. Even if the sect suffered a blow, they would absolutely rise up to resist."
"But when you encountered Spirit Hall, you actually surrendered without a fight, leading the entire sect into seclusion, completely disregarding the lives of your affiliated families."
"Now it's even worse. You actually collude with the Spirit Empire! You are simply bringing shame to your ancestors!"
Hearing these words, Tang Xiao's face turned pitch black. He didn't expect Yang Wudi to be so blunt, to actually say such things in public. You must know that currently, the situation for both the Body Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was very bad.
Although the Body Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan still had many experts, their strongest, the Sword and Bone Douluos, were already heavily injured. The other Title Douluos were only of average strength, and they also had to face the tiger-like glares of the Spirit Empire's experts, not to mention the undead legion summoned by Bibi Dong.
But Yang Wudi shouted angrily, "Tang Xiao, you brat, I am not a coward like you! I can die, but I absolutely cannot let our Sect Master die! Otherwise, it will be the greatest disgrace to our Body Sect!"
Hearing Yang Wudi's words, the several elders of the Body Sect all let out roars. They quickly gathered together and summoned their martial souls and soul rings, preparing to fight the Clear Sky Clan.
Lin Gong, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He, and even Oscar and Feng Xiaotian all disengaged from their battles with the enemies and quickly gathered together. It looked like they wanted to fight a great battle with the Clear Sky Clan, and also like they wanted to do everything they could to help Yang Xiong.
With the Heaven Dou Empire's three great sects falling into internal strife, the Spirit Empire seemed happy to see it happen, even faintly wanting to suppress the Body Sect crowd together with them.
Although the Sword and Bone Douluos had suffered heavy injuries, they actually followed the Golden Eagle Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, and Ning Rongrong to Yang Wudi's side right now. By the looks of it, they wanted to fight the Clear Sky Clan alongside the Body Sect.
Tang Xiao's face was dark, "Sect Master Ning, what are you trying to do? Could it be you also feel that my Clear Sky Clan is in the wrong for doing this?"
A bitter smile appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face, "Sect Master Tang, Yang Xiong is an honorary elder of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Anyone who wishes to harm Yang Xiong is the greatest enemy of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Even if we must use the strength of our entire sect, we will kill the enemy."
Tang Xiao said, "Sect Master Ning, do not forget that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan is ultimately an auxiliary sect. If you don't have the support of other sects, you will probably decline sooner or later. Are you sure you want to violate the agreement between our upper three sects, violate our former alliance, and become enemies with us?"
Ning Fengzhi showed a trace of disdain, "Sect Master Tang, how do you have the nerve to say such things? Whether it was back then or now, hasn't the one breaking promises always been your Clear Sky Clan?"
"Back then, in order to preserve your strength, you didn't hesitate to abandon all your affiliated families. As a result, those families joined Spirit Hall, which led to Spirit Hall's growth and expansion."
"As for today, your Clear Sky Clan's actions disgust me. From now on, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Clear Sky Clan have no more ties. Just consider those past helps as feeding the dogs."
Tang Xiao's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect the usually gentle Ning Fengzhi to actually say such things in public, bluntly stripping away the Clear Sky Clan's fig leaf and exposing its ugliest side.
Hearing these words, the people of the Spirit Empire nearby looked at the Clear Sky Clan with eyes full of mockery and contempt.
...
While the three great sects were in extreme chaos, the battle in the sky was also growing increasingly intense.
Ignoring the blood flowing from his body, Yang Xiong switched the sword to his left hand. Like a tiger descending a mountain, he actively launched attacks, each sword strike appearing even sharper.
However, in the eyes of Tang San and Bibi Dong's trio, the current Yang Xiong was merely making a dying struggle, merely trying to find an opportunity to escape.
Ever since Tang San sneak-attacked Yang Xiong, Tang San, Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong had maintained a triangular formation. Clearly, they did not want to leave Yang Xiong any route of retreat. They absolutely had to kill Yang Xiong today. Otherwise, if Yang Xiong truly became a god, it would probably be the end for the three of them.
Yang Xiong suddenly gritted his teeth. Ignoring his injuries, he directly used his seventh soul skill: Asura Avatar. His entire body seemingly expanded rapidly, breaking through from his original height of nearly two meters to three meters.
Especially the massive blood-red phantom behind him, which seemed to completely materialize at this moment. The Asura phantom also held the Asura Demon Sword in its left hand, and a massive Asura Demon Sword plunged down from the sky.
In that instant, countless blood-red sword shadows suddenly appeared in the sky. Like a torrential downpour, the sword shadows indiscriminately attacked Tang San, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue all at once. Every sword shadow seemed filled with endless Asura killing intent.
This was the fourth form of the Asura sword techniques Yang Xiong used, named Asura Myriad Swords. Under the Asura sword shadows, he could indiscriminately and accurately attack a large number of enemies.
Even Tang San's trio felt their hearts fill with dread at this moment. Clearly, the power of Yang Xiong's move was extremely strong, hard to block easily even for a god.
Tang San threw the Rakshasa Demon Scythe directly. The entire Rakshasa Demon Scythe seemingly enlarged countless times in that instant, spinning at an extreme speed to forcefully withstand Yang Xiong's Asura Myriad Swords.
Qian Renxue slashed sword after sword at the Asura Myriad Swords falling from the sky. A massive Six-Winged Angel phantom directly appeared in front of her. It was precisely Qian Renxue's soul skill: Archangel's Protection.
In comparison, Bibi Dong actually used the array enveloping the entire Jialing Pass again. Countless black auras gathered together, transforming into a massive Soul Devouring Spider Emperor. A pair of large pincers forcefully blocked Yang Xiong's Asura Myriad Swords.
Although Yang Xiong's Asura Myriad Swords move was extremely powerful, he had injuries on his body after all. Especially with the three forcefully resisting him, it was like a competition of spiritual power and soul power. Another mouthful of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
But right at this moment, a drastic change seemed to occur on the battlefield. Bibi Dong, who originally controlled the entire array, seemed to lose control of it in that instant.
