Chapter 262: Account Sharing
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo frowned slightly upon seeing the opponent's movements.
"Old Ghost, what do we do now? It looks like the Clear Sky Sect wants Tang Xiao to stay behind and cover their retreat. We don't have enough manpower now."
Hearing Yue Guan's question, Gui Mei hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Bai Yu, who was still clashing with Tang Hao. He also didn't know what to do.
However, no matter what, they couldn't let the Clear Sky Sect members escape like this. Otherwise, even if the Saint Child didn't blame them, Bibi Dong would deal with them.
Then Ghost Douluo's eyes narrowed, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"You go after the Clear Sky Sect members. I'll stop Tang Xiao. Although he's one rank higher than me, it won't be easy for him to kill me!"
A flicker of worry passed through Yue Guan's eyes, but he still nodded, agreeing to the plan.
But just as the two were about to act, Bai Yu's telepathic message suddenly reached their ears, causing both Yue Guan and Gui Mei to pause.
"Let them run, don't worry about them. The two of you combine your strength and take down Tang Xiao first. He was severely injured by me earlier and won't last much longer."
"After you take down Tang Xiao, take people to wipe out the Strength Clan in the back mountain. Damn these stupid apes, they really have no sense of occasion, daring to join in the fun at any time."
"This time, I'll teach them a good lesson and let them know what it means to hit the helper first!"
"Yes, His Highness, the Saint Child!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged glances, both with a hint of surprise. They hadn't expected the Strength Clan, who had once been abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect, to come join the fun again.
However, this was also a good thing. The Strength Clan had angered their His Highness, the Saint Child, which meant they didn't need to split their forces to pursue the Clear Sky Sect members.
They only needed to team up to take down Tang Hao and then clean up the Strength Clan, and it would be over.
Immediately, the two of them issued some orders to their subordinates, then jointly attacked Tang Xiao.
The Spirit Hall members who received the order did not stop the Clear Sky Sect disciples who were breaking through, but rather trailed far behind them.
It wasn't until they saw the Strength Clan, who were there to meet the Clear Sky Sect, that the Spirit Hall members began to exert their strength, specifically targeting the Strength Clan's gorillas with fierce blows.
"Second Brother, the Strength Clan is being entangled by Spirit Hall. Should we go help them?"
The Fourth Elder looked at the Strength Clan fighting the Spirit Hall members, then turned to ask the Second Elder.
The Second Elder glanced back and said indifferently:
"We can't help. In this battle, most of my Clear Sky Sect disciples have died, and even the Sect Master is trapped. We old guys still have to lead the remaining people to break through. How can we have the spare energy to help them?"
"Don't worry about it, let's go quickly. If we delay too long, and the Sect Master or that kid Tang Hao can't hold on, our Clear Sky Sect will be finished."
"Oh, right, where did Tang San go? Bring him along too. Although that kid Tang Hao wronged the Sect before, he's now fighting for the Sect with his life. We can't let his son die here."
The Fourth Elder nodded, then while urging the Clear Sky Sect members to hurry, he said to the Second Elder:
"That kid Tang San is with Third Brother and Fifth Brother's team; he's already retreated ahead of time. Second Brother, we need to hurry too. The commotion on the mountain seems to be getting smaller and smaller."
Hearing this, the Second Elder looked back in the direction of the Sect, a flicker of pain in his eyes. Then, without further hesitation, he led the Clear Sky Sect members to quickly leave.
...
After nearly an hour, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo also arrived at the back mountain. Seeing Tai Tan, who was still struggling while being surrounded by three people, he casually threw out a palm strike.
"Bang!"
Tai Tan was hit as if by a giant rock, his body immediately flew backward, breaking a row of trees before lying on the ground, unable to get up again.
"You Strength Clan really have no memory. You were abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect once before, and now you dare to come over again."
"However, it seems your master has abandoned you again, huh? Heh heh, you really deserve it."
Chrysanthemum Douluo slowly walked up to Tai Tan, bent slightly, and looked at Tai Tan with a face full of mockery.
Hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's words, Tai Tan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his gaze sweeping around, seeing his dead clansmen all around him, his heart filled with unbearable grief.
"Bah... cough cough, the Clear Sky Sect deserves to die! You Spirit Hall also deserve to die! Haha... cough, all of you deserve to die! All of you go to hell!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head, not wanting to listen to his mad ramblings anymore. He casually flicked out a spirit power petal, slitting Tai Tan's throat.
Then he turned to look at the Spirit Hall members and asked in a calm voice.
"Which direction did those Clear Sky Sect people run? Are any of our people following them?"
Hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's question, a red-robed cardinal stepped forward, saluting and saying:
"Reporting to Elder, the Clear Sky Sect members all fled towards the southeast. This subordinate speculates that their target should be the Star Luo Empire."
"As for the people tracking them, this subordinate is incompetent and has not received any messages back. They should have all been dealt with by the Clear Sky Sect members."
Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded, indicating he understood, then waved his hand at the red-robed cardinal.
"Alright, never mind them. They're just some defeated soldiers, they won't be able to stir up any trouble. You clean up here, dispose of the bodies, and then return to Spirit City."
"Yes, Elder!"
After the crowd dispersed, Yue Guan looked at Gui Mei, who was standing nearby, holding Tang Xiao in one hand, and said with some worry:
"It seems something is wrong on His Highness, the Saint Child's side. That Tang Hao is a bit off. Logically speaking, with his injuries, he shouldn't be able to last this long."
"Old Ghost, do you think we should go over and try to help His Highness, the Saint Child?"
Ghost Douluo looked at the two constantly colliding lights, one silver and one red, above the Clear Sky Sect, and shook his head slightly.
"Since His Highness, the Saint Child, has already sent a telepathic message telling us to stay far away, then we shouldn't go and cause trouble for His Highness."
"However, that Tang Hao is indeed not right. The power on him is already somewhat similar to His Highness, the Saint Child. That's the feeling of the power of law."
"We shouldn't stay too far away. Concentrate and be ready to release our Spirit Fusion Skill at any time. If the situation goes south, we'll protect His Highness, the Saint Child, and retreat."
Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded and also began to focus on the battle in the sky.
They were right, Tang Hao was indeed not right. It should be said that about half an hour ago, Tang Hao was no longer Tang Hao.
Originally, after more than half an hour of spirit power impact, Tang Hao's body was already on the verge of collapse, and his attacks were becoming weaker and weaker.
Just as Bai Yu was about to give him a quick end, a bloody aura suddenly burst forth from Tang Hao's body, re-adhering his collapsing body.
Then, his eyes, previously filled with anger, became cold and emotionless, and his attacks, which had been growing weaker, became powerful again, even surpassing their strength from when he first used Ring Explosion.
