Douluo: Marry Shui Binger, reward Puni Martial Soul

Chapter 109: Sending troops to Haotian Sect!
Tang Xiao stood atop a sheer cliff, the fierce wind ruffling his graying temples.

He watched Tang San's thin figure disappear at the end of the rugged mountain road. That child carried too much on his shoulders. The City of Slaughter was his only hope, and also a trial by fire with a life-or-death struggle.

"Xiao San, you must come back alive. The future of Haotian Sect rests on your shoulders. The blood feud of the Tang family is all tied to you."

Tang Xiao muttered to himself, his eyes filled with endless anticipation and determination.

He turned and looked into the depths of the sect, the last sanctuary of the Haotian Sect, and the foundation he swore to protect with his life.

He knew in his heart that Xue Lingxiao's butcher's knife would be wielded here sooner or later.

The destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was the cruelest warning.

However, he never expected that this day would come so quickly and so violently.

The day after Tang San left.

The towering mountains stretching for hundreds of miles around the Haotian Sect, usually deserted by humans, were suddenly shrouded in a chilling aura.

The sound of hooves thundered, shaking the valley.

Banners obscure the sun, their cold light gleams on the iron.

Zhao Zilong, clad in gleaming silver armor and wielding the Sky-Piercing Spear, descended like a god as he rode his snow-covered dragon horse.

Behind him was a vast, dark mass of snow-covered dragon cavalry, stretching as far as the eye could see.

A massive armored torrent of ten thousand Soul Kings, each soldier radiating a chilling killing intent, the tips of their Soul-Shattering Spears gleaming with a terrifying light.

Their movements were silent, like a legion of death emerging from the depths of hell, their synchronized steps creating a suffocating sense of oppression.

Xue Lingxiao's order was simple: leave no one alive from the Haotian Sect.

"His Majesty has decreed that the remnants of the Haotian Sect, who have colluded with traitors and stubbornly resisted, are guilty of an unforgivable crime!" Zhao Zilong's voice echoed through the valley, cold and devoid of any emotion. "Today is the day the Haotian Sect is wiped off the Douluo Continent! All members of the Haotian Sect shall be killed without exception!"

His gaze first fell upon the collateral villages scattered outside the main peak of the Haotian Sect, which depended on the Haotian Sect for survival.

Most of the residents in these villages are collateral relatives of the Haotian Sect. Although their martial soul talents are not as good as those of the direct descendants, they still have the blood of the Haotian Sect flowing through their veins and are proud of the Haotian Sect.

"kill!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Zilong pointed his Sky-Piercing Spear forward.

The cold words were like the pronouncement of death.

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry instantly transformed into countless black lightning bolts, sweeping towards the unsuspecting villages!
It was a massacre without any suspense.

The defensive forces of those collateral villages were as fragile as paper in the face of the army of ten thousand Soul Kings.

Wherever the Soul-Shattering Spear's light passed, houses collapsed and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The screams of terror, the wails of despair, and the cries of women and children echoed through the valley, yet they could not evoke even a shred of pity from these iron-willed soldiers.

They are the sharpest swords in Xue Lingxiao's hands, only knowing how to carry out orders.

Blood stained the mountain streams, and severed limbs were scattered everywhere.

In just seven or eight minutes, the outlying villages of the Haotian Sect were reduced to scorched ruins, and thousands of lives were lost beneath the guns. The thick stench of blood drifted with the mountain winds towards the main peak of the Haotian Sect.

Haotian Sect, that solitary peak hidden in the swirling clouds and mist.

The atmosphere within the sect was extremely oppressive.

The news of the massacre of the neighboring village was like a bolt from the blue, shocking all the disciples of the Haotian Sect and shattering their hearts.

Inside the council hall, Tang Xiao sat in the main seat, his face ashen, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Below, the few remaining elders and core disciples of the Haotian Sect were all pale-faced, their eyes filled with terror and anger.

"Sect Master! Xue Lingxiao has gone too far! He even attacked those unarmed members of the collateral branches! He's utterly depraved!" an elder with a fiery temper roared, his voice trembling with agitation.

"He's trying to wipe us out!" another elder cried out in anguish. "Our Haotian Sect has been living in seclusion for many years, detached from worldly affairs. Why is he still relentlessly pressuring us?"

"Humph, if you want to accuse someone of something, you'll always find a pretext!"

Tang Xiao slammed his hand on the armrest, and the hard ironwood armrest shattered in response. "Xue Lingxiao, that scoundrel, is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He swallowed up Tiandou, slaughtered Landian, and now he's even turning his butcher's knife against my Haotian Sect! What he wants is the submission of the entire continent and the annihilation of all forces that resist!"

"Sect Master, what should we do? The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is already at the foot of the mountain, and Zhao Zilong is a peak Douluo of level ninety-eight. We... we're afraid we can't withstand them!" a young disciple said in a trembling voice, his eyes filled with despair.

Although Haotian Sect is the leader of the three upper sects, its strength has been greatly reduced since the Tang Hao incident. It has also been secluded from the world for many years and is no longer as powerful as it once was.

Apart from Tang Xiao, a peak level 96 Douluo, the sect's top combat power now consists of only a few elders at the Soul Douluo level.

Facing the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry composed of ten thousand Soul Kings, and a peak expert like Zhao Zilong, their strength was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Tang Xiao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the grief and anger in his heart.

He knew that this battle was unavoidable.

The honor of the Haotian Sect does not allow them to surrender without a fight.

Even in death, one should die with dignity!

"Pass on my orders!" Tang Xiao's voice was slightly hoarse, yet filled with undeniable authority. "All inner disciples, retreat to the forbidden area behind the mountain to protect the last bloodline of the sect! The rest of you, follow me to meet the enemy!"

"Sect Master! You mustn't!" Several elders pleaded, "You are the sect's only pillar. If anything happens to you, our Haotian Sect will truly be finished!!!"

"No need for further words!" Tang Xiao's eyes flashed with sternness. "As the sect leader of the Haotian Sect, how can I stand by and watch my sect perish while I choose to live on in disgrace? Today, I will live and die with the Haotian Sect!"

His gaze swept over the elderly elders below, who still radiated fighting spirit, and he said in a heavy voice, "Elders, I know you are loyal to the sect. But today's battle is fraught with peril. The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is powerful, and Zhao Zilong is incredibly formidable. I hope you can preserve some of the sect's strength!"

However, the five white-haired elders, all of whom were Soul Douluo level 85 or above, stepped forward in unison, their expressions resolute!
They were Tang Xiao's uncles. The Grand Elder said in a deep voice, "Sect Master, we have received great favors from the sect. How can we back down in the face of battle? There are no cowards in the dictionary of Haotian Sect! Today, let us old bones shed our last drop of blood for the sect!"

“That’s right! We swear to live and die with the sect!” The other four elders echoed, their eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

They were the most loyal warriors of the Haotian Sect, and they would never back down even if they knew they were going to die.

Tang Xiao looked at them, his tiger-like eyes filled with tears. This was the backbone of the Haotian Sect! Never to bend!
