--- Chapter 260 ---

BAM!

Tang Xiao's limp body flew away from the spirit hall's arena.

He roughly landed on a small forest area a hundred meters away and had a shocked expression on his face.

Even if it was only for a few moments, Tang Xiao was sure Yunlong smacked him with something familiar.

Meanwhile, Yunlong was sightseeing and resting the clear sky hammer on his shoulder. Everyone from the clear sky clan was shocked.

"T-That hammer..."

"How can he possess it?!"

"Neo, Timer." Yunlong casually said while looking at the system panel near him.

[13:03]

[13:02]

"Well, let's stop playing around and finish this quickly." He moved his gaze to Tang Xiao, who arrived in the spirit hall's arena again.

Tang Xiao's face was full of hate and confusion because that clear sky hammer was his brother's martial soul.

He hasn't seen it for a while, but only people from the clan mainline could possess such a hammer with a unique pattern.

As Tang Xiao wondered deeply, Yunlong abruptly released a dominating dragon roar.

Roar!

Crackle!

A flash of golden lightning fell from the sky, and three spirit rings appeared behind Yunlong's back.

"H-How!" Yu Xiaogang raised from his seat. "That's absurd. How can he have three 100k spirit rings!"

"Nothing is impossible for my Yunlong." Bibi Dong responded with a chuckle.

She indifferently looked at Yu Xiaogang and continued, "He's a monster that I raised myself after all."

Yunlong's body quickly was covered by gleaming golden scales like armor, and a pair of golden horns grew on his forehead.

Yu Tianheng's eyes widened because he was very familiar with this transformation.

"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon..." He muttered solemnly. "No, that's even more powerful than mine."

"A mutation." Liu Erlong smirked because her martial soul was a variant of the blue lightning tyrant dragon.

As Liu Erlong was an illegitimate daughter of the clan's head, the blue lightning tyrant dragon's lineage rushed in her blood.

Even if her martial soul dragon was a variant, it's still the true dragon's lineage, making her so much stronger.

"How nostalgic." Liu Erlong looked at an enormous golden dragon silhouette behind Yunlong.

As the former member of the golden iron triangle, how can she not smile at this scene?

Flender's hand trembled slightly, but a familiar-looking golden dragon that could only appear if Golden Iron Triangle spirit fusion activated appeared before his eyes.

"Golden Saint Dragon." He clenched his fist in disbelief.

Yunlong ignored everyone's gazes and let his dragon physique radiate an unbearable aura.

"Fuu..." He released a cold breath while golden lightning revolved around his body.

"Here we go." He instantly appeared in front of Tang Xiao.

Clank! BOOM!

A clear sky hammer clashed with another clear sky hammer, but Tang Xiao could easily defend it this time.

Unlike when Yunlong caught him off guard, he is mentally and physically prepared now.

Yunlong's left hand moved forward in a fast motion, and a dark blade quickly reached over Tang Xiao's neck.

Clank!

A helmet covered Tang Xiao's head, which caused Yunlong to frown because the armor protected this man again.

Yunlong threw the hammer away and clenched his fist tightly. Even though he was floating, a solid stance formed without any platform.

"Harmony Flow." Yunlong activated his new skill.

A fluid motion of energy flowed from his heart to his fist in a matter of a second.

Yunlong's eyes blinked a bit because a piece of advice from Asura God echoed in his head suddenly.

"Even though you're strong, you're too flashy with your technique."

"Great Unison Art, huh."

"Don't use that in the meantime, and go back to basics."

"What do you mean by basic?" Yunlong asked.

Asura God was annoyed and commented, "Do you think I won't realize that Great Unison Art is just a fusion of different techniques. It's good but not refined."

"Use the first breathing technique that you have mastered."

"Serene Water Art." Yunlong closed his eyes and breathed deeply.

"Hmm?" Tang Xiao tilted his head because Yunlong ignored him and didn't advance further for some reason.

"Nine Revolving Sky Strikes." He widely grinned and activated his eighth spirit ring's ability.

Yunlong snapped from his brief mediation, and a blueish clarity shone in his eyes.

"I'm wasting my energy." He breathed out while performing an upward slash.

The first hammer attack was countered immediately by Yunlong's sword.

It quickly was followed by the second and third strikes, which also countered without any excess movement.

In the end, none of Tang Xiao's attacks could touch Yunlong because he deflected them all.

"Sharpen your sword intent." Asura God's voice echoed.

"Sharpen my sword intent." Yunlong kicked the air and advanced toward Tang Xiao.

"What's he doing?" Tang Xiao retreated because he wanted to secure a distance from this abnormal kid.

The clear sky hammer fell that Yunlong threw a moment ago, landing onto his right hand. He rotated his entire body and threw it at Tang Xiao.

SWOOSH!

Tang Xiao raised his clear sky hammer and defended himself.

Clank!

He successfully blew Yunlong's clear sky hammer away, but it was just a diversion.

Yunlong gently bounced the air and flashed toward Tang Xiao's back.

"A simple and powerful kick." He bent his right leg and kicked Tang Xiao's neck.

Though Tang Xiao got protected by his armor, a sliver of Yunlong's energy finally broke through.

"HAAA!" Tang Xiao expelled his energy out.

He became more aggressive and continuously bombarded Yunlong with his hammer.

'Sharingan is a cheat.' Yunlong smiled inside while dodging Tang Xiao's attacks.

They clashed heavily in the air, and a series of afterimages appeared.

Tang Xiao didn't realize it at first, but he became slower and slower for some reason. Not only that, but he also could feel a sting sensation all across his body.

'He didn't do any apparent damage to me, but why do I feel harmed?' Tang Xiao gritted his teeth.

[Skill: Tooth for Tooth(Passive)]

[Description: Reflect 15% damage to the enemy when you got attacked]

They both landed on the ground 15 meters away from each other.

Tang Xiao looked at Yunlong solemnly and muttered, "Just what are you..."

"This is enough, I guess." Yunlong suddenly clenched his left fist.

An energy ignition was aroused by Yunlong's left arm spirit bone, making his fist glow with goldish light.

Yunlong's blood boiled, and a burst of energy gathered on his fist. "It's been a while." He chuckled.

"Rumbling Dragon Fist."

He teleported and swiftly secured Tang Xiao's abdomen with a punch and said, "Burst."

Tang Xiao's armor received reflected damage for a few minutes. It wasn't enough to destroy it, but clearly, enough to weaken it several times.

BAM!

Tang Xiao felt a burst of energy on his stomach and coughed blood.

"Is it just me, or are you just too weak for some reason?" Yunlong said with a confused expression. "I thought you were stronger than Tang Hao."

Well, Yunlong wasn't wrong, but comparing his former self and his current self is not really valid.

He has grown stronger in a short amount of time, though his spirit rank only increased by 10. Yunlong's power prowess exceeds that.

It's not that Tang Xiao is weak, but Yunlong himself is too strong.

"HAHAHA..." Tang Xiao was speechless and laughed loudly.

Never in his entire life has someone ever said he's weak, but today is just absurd that he couldn't help but stare at the monster in front of him.

Tang Xiao slowly raised from the ground and pointed his hammer at Yunlong. "The plan was never to defeat spirit hall."

"We are here to waste some time and destroy all of you into dust."

A giant white sword pierced the ground between them, and a white-haired man appeared.

A black-haired man also appeared from thin air and landed beside Tang Xiao.

"Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo." Yunlong greeted because he wasn't that surprised anymore.

They would appear sooner or later because of Ning Rongrong.

Bibi Dong arrived on Yunlong's side and glanced at the newly appeared titled douluo.

"It seemed the Seven Treasure Clans also planned to commence a war against the spirit hall."

Sword Douluo coldly stared at Bibi Dong and naturally responded, "I've been waiting for a long time."

"Since we have a way to kill level 99 title douluo, even Qian Daoliu won't cause a problem for us anymore."

"Heh." Bibi Dong smiled slightly. "I see that you're quite confident with your god-slaying weapon."

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's expression darkened briefly. They moved their gazes to Tang Xiao, but he shook his head.

Tang Xiao also didn't know why Bibi Dong could know about that specific information.

"How unfortunate, this old man couldn't even drink with ease." Jin Eyu fell from the sky and landed beside Yunlong.

"I thought you died or something," Yunlong casually commented while shrugging his shoulders.

Jin Eyu choked on his wine and was annoyed by Yunlong's comment, but he was used to it already.

"Hmph. What a way to greet your teacher, huh." Jin Eyu sneered coldly.

"This old man hasn't stretched his old bones for a long time." He moved his gaze to the three titled douluo.

"But, even if I'm old, I could still break all of you-."

Yunlong sighed and replied, "You speak like you were about to die."

"For fuck sake, let's this old man have his moment." Jin Eyu complained. "I couldn't even finish my words."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." Yunlong looked away and noticed every clear sky clan's elder had died.

"Don't worry. I don't just stay quiet all this time." Bibi Dong giggled. "A few of them were also defeated by your maids."

"Is that so?" Yunlong waved his hands at his maids.

As the tension grew even wilder than before, Ning Fenzhi appeared with thousands of his clan members.

"Destroy the spirit hall!" He shouted.

"Father." Ning Rongrong excitedly approached him.

"I was about to start," Yunlong smirked because every pawn had been in their position.

Ning Fenzhi patted Ning Rongrong and gently said, "It would be okay now. We will end this."

"Mhm." Ning Rongrong nodded. "But, father?"

"Yes?" Ning Fenzhi asked back.

"Can you die?" Ning Rongrong smiled widely with a sharp dagger in her hand.

STAB!

The dagger pierced through Ning Fenzhi's heart and shocked everyone.

"RONGRONG!"
