Chapter 260: Tang Hao Appears Again
Tang Xiao soared into the air, facing Bai Yu, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Saint Child Bai Yu, previously it was the Clear Sky Sect's fault. I apologize. My Clear Sky Sect is willing to spare no effort to compensate His Royal Highness, the Saint Child."
"We only ask that Spirit Hall spare the Clear Sky Sect's life."
As Tang Xiao spoke, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo also led their men up the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate.
Just as they were about to give the order to kill, Bai Yu raised a hand, stopping them, then looked at Tang Xiao.
"Sect Master Tang Xiao, I quite like your character. Since you've spoken, I will give you a chance."
"As long as you disband the Clear Sky Sect and join Spirit Hall, I will no longer pursue the past grievances."
Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Tang Xiao's expression darkened, his eyes filled with rage. He could agree to anything else, but disbanding the Clear Sky Sect was absolutely out of the question!
Just as he was about to discuss it further, the Clear Sky Sect members below suddenly began to curse Bai Yu angrily.
"Insolent child! How dare you speak of disbanding our Clear Sky Sect! You truly don't know your place!"
"Haha, is Spirit Hall out of people? They sent a mere boy who hasn't even fully matured to spout nonsense at our Clear Sky Sect."
"Exactly! Come on, call me grandpa! If a fight breaks out later, grandpa will spare your life!"
Tang Xiao's expression changed, realizing things were not good, and he said anxiously:
"Saint Child Bai Yu, they..."
"Kill!"
Bai Yu had figured it out: these guys from the Clear Sky Sect just hadn't been beaten enough. Each and every one of them couldn't see the situation clearly.
Although Spirit Hall had given the Clear Sky Sect a beating back then, Qian Daoliu had ordered a retreat after they sealed off their mountain.
Qian Daoliu was merely keeping his promise, which likely led the Clear Sky Sect members to believe that Spirit Hall couldn't conquer their mountain gate and that their strength was nothing special.
So Bai Yu didn't want to say more. First, they would fight for twelve hours. By then, if anyone from the Clear Sky Sect survived, it wouldn't be too late to talk!
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's mouths curved upwards. With a wave of their hands, they led their people in an assault.
In their opinion, there was no need for idle talk; it should have been like this long ago! How dare these mere Clear Sky Sect members ambush the Saint Child? Why keep them alive if not to kill them?
If it weren't for their benevolent Saint Child who stated in his letter that only the two of them were needed and he didn't want to make a big fuss.
Today, the Clear Sky Sect would surely have been overrun by Title Douluo!
Meanwhile, Tang Xiao, seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo launch their attack, immediately moved to block them.
But Bai Yu wasn't here to play. Naturally, he couldn't let Tang Xiao interfere. His figure flickered, directly blocking Tang Xiao's path.
"Sect Master Tang Xiao, you definitely can't go help. Either watch from here without moving, or I'll reluctantly accompany Sect Master Tang Xiao for another fight."
Tang Xiao's face alternated between green and red. He wanted Bai Yu to stop, but he also knew it was impossible.
Their Clear Sky Sect had indeed offended people deeply. If their roles were reversed, Tang Xiao was certain he would not hesitate and would personally act to flatten the Clear Sky Sect.
"Saint Child Bai Yu, although I don't know where you heard of me, Tang Xiao appreciates your kindness."
"Since I am the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, I naturally must fight for the Sect with my life. Saint Child Bai Yu, please forgive my offense!"
As soon as Tang Xiao finished speaking, he directly unleashed his Clear Sky Avatar, erupting with full power, and swung his hammer at Bai Yu.
Tang Xiao knew he was no match for Bai Yu, but he couldn't just stand by and watch his Sect members die one by one. He simply couldn't do it.
So he wanted to fight with all his might, to see if there was a chance to trade his life for an injury on Bai Yu, so that the Sect disciples could escape.
Bai Yu saw Tang Xiao's movement, a slight smile on his lips. He condensed a long blade in his hand, with the power of the Four Symbols flowing, and swung his blade to meet the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Boom!"
"Since Sect Master Tang Xiao has made his decision, then I will no longer hold back. Whether your wish comes true depends on whether you have the strength."
After blocking the Clear Sky Hammer, Bai Yu looked at Tang Xiao and said faintly.
Immediately, a silver light flashed in his eyes, and the power of the Four Symbols gathered, directly advancing to the Form of Creation.
"Creation Without Limit, All Things Return to One, Traversing Heaven!"
Bai Yu's power of creation rendered the long blade in his hand silver. Then, he raised his hand and swung it, and a massive silver blade light soared into the sky, slashing towards Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao's pupils trembled, and a bitter feeling rose in his heart. He thought to himself that the gap was still too great.
However, he still didn't give up. Gritting his teeth, he gripped the Clear Sky Hammer with both hands, and with all his might, swung it towards the incoming blade light.
"Nine Absolutes United, Clear Sky Peerless!"
"Buzz!"
A piercing spirit power storm erupted from where the two were fighting. The powerful force swept away all the clouds in the sky and the trees and rocks below.
And in the great mountain, the Spirit Hall and Clear Sky Sect members who were fighting also quickly moved away from Bai Yu and Tang Xiao, avoiding being affected.
Although Bai Yu's strength was indeed formidable, Tang Xiao, fighting with his life on the line, could still hold on for a bit. Therefore, the outcome between the two was not decided so quickly.
"Bang!"
The long blade and the hammer collided again, and a stalemate ensued. Just as Bai Yu was about to exert more force to take down Tang Xiao.
Suddenly, his expression hardened. Another long blade appeared in his left hand, and he swung it backward.
"Four Symbols Gather, All Things Born, Heaven-Opening!"
"Ring Explosion, Great Sumeru Hammer!"
"Boom!"
After another loud bang, Bai Yu was knocked back dozens of meters by the sudden attack. Then, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said with a hint of speechlessness:
"Again? Can you Clear Sky Sect people do anything else? All you do is sneak attack from behind, right?"
"Besides, Hao, where's your sound system? Haven't seen you in years, did you lose your sound system? Normally, when you launch a sneak attack, shouldn't there be background music?"
Tang Hao, who had suddenly appeared there, had countless question marks rising above his head. He understood every word Bai Yu said, but what did it mean when put together?
Could it be that this guy had his head smashed by the Clear Sky Hammer just now? No, that couldn't be; his hammer clearly didn't hit him!
"Brother Hao, you've finally returned! Quick, quickly take the Sect members and withdraw! I'll block the Spirit Hall people!"
Tang Xiao's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Tang Hao appear, but he knew this was not the time for reminiscing. His body was injured in many places, and he was about to collapse.
Even if the two of them teamed up, they might not gain an advantage against Bai Yu. So he decided to sacrifice himself and let Tang Hao lead the Sect members to retreat.
Hearing Tang Xiao's shout, Tang Hao gave up thinking about Bai Yu's words, turned to look at his elder brother, a hint of memory flashing in his eyes, then shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Big brother, you should be the one to lead them away. I'll block them. Don't forget, you are the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect."
"Leave through the back mountain. I've already had Little San lead the Strength Clan members to rendezvous with you there."
