Douluo Dalu: Tiger Roars in the Universe

Chapter 265 The Haotian Sect is seriously injured
Speaking of which, because the Xingluo Empire's previous plan was too successful, it defeated the coalition forces of various countries in one fell swoop, and then advanced northward at an extremely fast speed, occupying all the territories of those kingdoms and principalities in just about ten days.

In particular, even Wuhun City was completely surrounded by the Xingluo Empire, which gave Wuhun Hall a great shock. Bibi Dong, who was encircling the Haotian Sect in the Tiandou Empire and was about to succeed, could no longer care about the Haotian Sect after receiving this news. She immediately and decisively gave up the plan to completely wipe out the Haotian Sect and hurriedly rushed to Wuhun City to confront the Xingluo Empire to prevent the Xingluo Empire from really attacking Wuhun City.

In a sense, it was indeed the Xingluo Empire that saved the Haotian Sect this time. You should know that before this, even the mountain gate of the Haotian Sect had been breached by Bibi Dong and her men. If the Xingluo Empire had not made a drastic move, forcing Bibi Dong to quickly lead her men back to defend, otherwise, if Bibi Dong was given a few more days, she would really be able to completely destroy the Haotian Sect, and all of the Haotian Sect's direct disciples would be strangled to death by her.

Even though the Haotian Sect has been able to survive because of Bibi Dong's retreat, it has been severely damaged and suffered heavy losses after this battle. More than half of its direct disciples have been killed, and several Titled Douluo have also fallen.

There is no way. At the level of Titled Douluo, there is still a gap between the Haotian Sect and the Spirit Hall.

The Seventh Elder of the Haotian Sect had previously escorted Tang Yuehua to the Xingluo Empire for help, and then after he received the news that the Spirit Hall had taken action against the Haotian Sect, the Seventh Elder ventured through the Star Dou Great Forest to go back and support his own sect. Including the Seventh Elder who returned in time, plus Tang Hao, the Haotian Sect now has a total of seven Titled Douluo.

Compared with the seven Titled Douluo of the Haotian Sect, the Titled Douluo that Bibi Dong brought seemed to be even fewer in number, plus she herself only had five Titled Douluo. However, the five Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall were superior to those of the Haotian Sect in terms of quality.

The five Titled Douluo dispatched by the Spirit Hall were Bibi Dong, who had reached the peak level of ninety-eight, the Third and Fourth Priests, whose spirit power reached the peak level of ninety-six, and Jue Gui, who had reached the ninety-fifth level.

That is to say, among the five Titled Douluo who attacked the Haotian Sect from the Spirit Hall this time, the lowest cultivation level was ninety-five, and the two at ninety-five also had spirit fusion skills, and the cultivation levels of the other three were all above ninety-five.

On the other hand, although the Haotian Sect has some advantages in the number of Titled Douluo, if we look at the cultivation level, only Tang Xiao, the sect leader, has reached level 96, followed by Tang Hao at level 95, and the remaining five elders are all below level 95.

In terms of soul power cultivation, the Haotian Sect is obviously far inferior to the Spirit Hall. Even though the Titled Douluo of the Haotian Sect are relatively stronger in combat among the same level, it is not enough to directly eliminate this degree of gap, even for Tang Hao.

At the level of Titled Douluo, the Spirit Hall has an advantage, not to mention the mid- and low-end levels. At the mid- and low-end levels, the Spirit Hall has an absolute numerical advantage. Due to the retirement of the Haotian Sect, it no longer has any affiliated forces. Just looking at their direct disciples, there are only a few people in total, which is far from being comparable to the Spirit Hall.

It can be said that the only advantage of the Haotian Sect is actually its dangerous terrain, but the terrain advantage can only play a very limited role in a battle like this with the involvement of top powerhouses, so the Haotian Sect was eventually breached by the Spirit Hall.

After the mountain gate was breached, the only thing the Haotian Sect could do was to flee with their disciples, and the Spirit Hall gave them a relentless pursuit. During the pursuit, the two sides fought several times, and Titled Douluo from both sides were also killed in the process.

Let’s talk about the Haotian Sect first. Among the seven Titled Douluo of the Haotian Sect, three have died, namely Tang Hao, the fifth elder, and the seventh elder.

The Fifth and Seventh Elders were fine, as they were the ones with the lowest cultivation among the Titled Douluo in this battle, so their deaths were not surprising. But it was different for Tang Hao. Tang Hao's strength was even stronger than his eldest brother, so he should not have died. The reason why it turned out like this could only be Tang Hao's own choice.

Because of what happened that year, Tang Hao already felt guilty towards the Haotian Sect, and he also had very serious internal injuries, and was on the verge of death at any time. So when the Haotian Sect's people fled, Tang Hao took the initiative to help the sect resist the pursuit of the Spirit Hall, so that the sect could get more chances of survival.

Making this choice would basically mean certain death, and Tang Hao himself was determined to die, and he single-handedly covered the sect's retreat.

In this last battle, Tang Hao burned up everything he had, his explosion ring exploded at full power, and all of his soul bones were shattered. He managed to suppress Bibi Dong and the third and fourth priests of the Spirit Hall, and broke the spirit fusion skills of the two Titled Douluo, Jue and Gui, and dragged these two guys to death together.

One against five, none of whom had lower soul power than himself, and they also had the powerful weapon of soul fusion. In this situation, Tang Hao was able to fight to this extent, and in the end he even pulled two people to take the blame for him. It can be said that Tang Hao's last battle was brilliant enough.

Tang Hao's desperate efforts to cover the retreat did achieve very good results. It at least bought the Haotian Sect ten more days, allowing the Haotian Sect to hold out until the Spirit Hall was forced to retreat. If Tang Hao knew about this, he would probably be very pleased.

Although Bibi Dong quickly led the team to evacuate in order to prevent her hometown from being lost and gave up the plan to completely wipe out the Haotian Sect halfway, this does not mean that the Haotian Sect is safe. After all, no matter what, they are still in the realm of the Tiandou Empire, and the Tiandou Empire is now controlled by the Spirit Hall. In other words, although Bibi Dong led the soul master troops to withdraw, it is very likely that the Tiandou Empire’s troops will soon continue the encirclement and suppression operation, so the current situation of the Haotian Sect is still not optimistic.

In this situation, every decision made by Tang Xiao, as the leader of a sect, is crucial. If he makes a wrong decision, it is very likely that the Haotian Sect will be put in an extremely dangerous situation again. Therefore, the responsibility Tang Xiao now shoulders is very heavy. The pressure brought to him by this responsibility leaves him no time to grieve for the death of his brother.
