Chapter 261: Going All Out From the Start
After Tang Hao finished speaking, Tang Xiao immediately shook his head, indicating his disagreement with the proposal.
"You should lead the people away. If not for the accident, this Sect Master position should have been yours."
"The Clear Sky Sect's Ring Explosion secret technique, which only belongs to the Sect Master, is still with you. You cannot die here."
A trace of pain flashed across Tang Hao's face. For the past two years, he had actually been staying near the Clear Sky Sect and had not left.
Back then, because of Ah Yin, he was pursued and intercepted by the Spirit Hall, which led to him being unable to return home, and the Sect was forced to seal its mountain.
Now that his wife had run off with someone else and the Sect was in crisis, it was time for him to atone for his sins.
"Big Brother, I've already passed the Ring Explosion secret technique to Little San. When you see him, he will teach it to you; it won't disappear because I die."
"I caused a great disaster for the Sect back then. Now, it's time for me to protect the Sect. Go, lead the people away from here."
Bai Yu, standing nearby, watched the two of them perform their deep brotherly affection and couldn't help but interject.
"I say, can you two choose another time for your reunion? However, since neither of you wants to leave, then don't leave. Stay here together."
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, Tang Hao immediately turned to look at him, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
This bastard made his teeth itch with hatred. In their previous two encounters, not only did he not gain an advantage, but his wife was also taken away. He truly deserved to die!
He had originally planned to find an opportunity to kill Bai Yu later, but he didn't expect this damned guy to improve so quickly.
Now, he was no longer a match for Bai Yu. However, he still had the Ring Explosion secret technique. Tang Hao wanted to see if he could trade his life for Bai Yu's today.
After all, this might be his only chance in this life. He could never catch up to Bai Yu's speed of improvement.
If he missed this opportunity, if they met again in the future, he wouldn't even have the ability to fight for his life.
"Big Brother, go!"
"Nine Rings Explode, Great Sumeru Hammer!"
"Damn it!"
Without another word, Tang Hao immediately went all out, his spirit rings shattering one after another.
By the time the ninth spirit ring exploded, Tang Hao's body was completely stained with blood, and all the skin on his body had burst open.
But in contrast, Tang Hao's spirit power received a massive boost. Next, before he was overwhelmed by the spirit power, he was strong enough to contend with a Super Douluo.
Bai Yu, on the other hand, felt a surge of irritation and cursed inwardly, "Is this crazy Tang Hao insane? He's going all out from the start? I didn't say I was going to wipe out the Clear Sky Sect; is it really necessary?"
To be honest, he wasn't afraid of Tang Hao's desperate move. Even with Nine Rings Explode, he was only about as strong as him. If they dragged it out, Tang Hao was sure to die.
But it didn't matter if Tang Hao died; he had the Asura Domain within him. If he died, the Asura God would surely sense it, and then who knew what complications might arise.
Bai Yu shook his head, dispelling the long saber formed by his Blue Silver King Spirit. Then, with a flick of his right hand, two balls of light behind him condensed in his hand, transforming into a magnificent silver blade that seemed both real and illusory.
"Creation Without Limits, Heavenly Blade Peerless!"
"Boom!"
The magnificent blade collided with the dark great hammer, and waves of spirit power storms continuously swept through the surroundings.
Bai Yu had come to a realization. Since Tang Hao wanted to fight for his life, then they would fight. Anyway, his spirit rings had already exploded; even if they didn't fight, Tang Hao might not survive.
It was better to make the most of it and let him fully enjoy the thrill of battle.
As for the Asura God, they would deal with that later. Anyway, with Destruction watching, he couldn't descend; at most, he would play some tricks.
But with his current strength, ordinary tricks were no longer effective.
When Tang Xiao saw Tang Hao going all out, his heart ached. He knew that this meeting today would be the last time he would see Tang Hao.
However, now was not the time for sadness. He had to seize the opportunity while Bai Yu was held up and quickly lead the people to retreat. Otherwise, Tang Hao's sacrifice would be in vain.
Immediately, Tang Xiao moved, rushing towards Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who were battling the four Elders.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had also been paying attention to the commotion here. Upon seeing Tang Xiao charge over, they immediately retreated.
"Second Brother, you and the Sect Master go first. The three of us will stay here and stop these two from Spirit Hall. Otherwise, if they follow us, none of us will escape!"
After Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo retreated, the Third Elder spat out a mouthful of blood, panting heavily, and said to the Second Elder.
In the previous battle, although they were four against two, having a numerical advantage, this still couldn't make up for the disparity in strength.
After all, Yue Guan and Gui Mei had already reached rank 96, while among the four Elders of the Clear Sky Sect, the strongest, the Second Elder, was only rank 94.
The four of them were covered in injuries from Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. If Tang Xiao hadn't suddenly come to their aid, one or two of them would have been killed.
The Second Elder's lips trembled slightly upon hearing the Third Elder's words. He gave a deep look at his three old brothers, then turned to Tang Xiao and said:
"Sect Master, break through with me and the others. As for here, we'll leave it to Old Third and the others."
When the Second Elder said this, his heart trembled. Emotionally, he was absolutely unwilling to abandon his three old brothers.
But his rationality told him that Old Third was right; some people had to stay behind to stop the people from Spirit Hall.
Otherwise, if Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo pursued them, and when Tang Hao couldn't hold on anymore, that Spirit Hall Saint Child would be free, and none of them would escape.
Tang Xiao shook his head, looking at the dead Sect disciples around him, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes.
"Four Elders, you should lead the people away. I will stop them. Afterwards, you break through to the back mountain. Little San is waiting there with the Strength Clan to meet you."
"Sect Master, you..."
"No need to say more. If I don't stay, you won't be able to stop Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. At that time, I would still have to stay behind to cover your retreat."
"So, instead of dying in vain, it's better to let me do it from the start. With my strength, they wouldn't dare to leave just one person to fight me."
After Tang Xiao finished speaking, the four Elders exchanged glances, their eyes filled with hesitation.
As they saw it, if there was an opportunity, it would be worth it to sacrifice their four lives to save Tang Xiao.
After all, Tang Xiao was still young and had the chance to advance further in the future, while the four of them had already exhausted their potential and would remain as they were for this life.
But they also understood that Tang Xiao was right. Even if all four of them stayed here, they wouldn't be able to hold off the opponents for long.
Only if Tang Xiao, a rank 97 Super Douluo, stayed, would Yue Guan and Gui Mei be wary and not dare to split their forces to pursue them.
Then, the Second Elder gritted his teeth and said to Tang Xiao in a deep voice:
"Since that's the case, then we'll leave the Sect disciples to us. Sect Master, please take care. Old Third, Old Fourth, Old Fifth, let's go!"
