Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 179 Tang Xiao: My Second Brother!

"What kind of armor is this?"

Faced with the overwhelming pressure that struck his very soul, Tang Xiao was filled with shock; the mere aura emanating from the man made him tremble with fear.

Although the capabilities of this armor are unclear, it is undoubtedly stronger than the armor Lin Mu had used before.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, Tang Xiao could no longer care about Tang Hao's imminent death. He quickly formed a battle formation with the other four elders to prepare for Lin Mu's attack.

Although the Seventh Elder was rescued by the Second Elder, he was already seriously injured and unable to participate in the battle.

"Is this the power of Thunder Yatalis?"

Lin Mu did not rush to attack, but instead felt the power of this ultimate armor. Not only could he freely use the power of the previous four elements, but he also had control over the even stronger power of thunder.

Even the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul couldn't withstand the thunderous power of Thunder Yatalis!
On the other side, Tang Hao had already been hit by a hidden weapon, and the poison was spreading rapidly throughout his body. He was already in critical condition, and now his situation was even worse.

The reason he was still able to barely retain a breath was entirely due to the four soul bones in his body enduring the pain.

"Brother Hao!"

Upon seeing Tang Hao's miserable state, Tang Xiao's pupils dilated in shock.

Although Tang Hao indirectly caused the deaths of his father and many sect members, he was still his second brother.

If Tang Hao had died at the hands of the Spirit Hall, that would have been one thing, but to die at the hands of his own son was something he could never accept.

Regardless of the truth, now that Haodi has fallen to this state, as his elder brother, I must avenge him!

"Second Elder, activate the Haotian Formation!"

Upon hearing Tang Xiao's command, the Second Elder immediately formed a formation with the others and channeled his soul power into Tang Xiao.

At this moment, Tang Xiao had essentially condensed the soul power of five Title Douluos into one, reaching a level of approximately 98.

"It's like a mayfly trying to shake a tree. I don't even need to use spirit rings to deal with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden longsword appeared in Lin Mu's hand. It was made entirely of lightning elements, with faint arcs of lightning flashing across its surface. It was the Heaven and Earth Thunder Sword!
Upon seeing this, Tang Xiao immediately used the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian, smashing the enormous Haotian Hammer down on Lin Mu's head.

The power of the Haotian Nine Absolutes when used in this state is comparable to the ninth soul skill of an ordinary Title Douluo.

Lin Mu remained calm in response, touching the Heaven and Earth Thunder Sword to the molten flame elemental emblem on his chest, instantly condensing a blazing slash that he then swung towards the Haotian Hammer above.

"Boom——!!"

As the heatwave rolled in, the massive explosion knocked Tang Xiao back a distance, but Lin Mu remained motionless on the ground.

"how so!"

"This is a unique skill of our Haotian Sect, and he neutralized it so easily?"

Tang Xiao and the four elders were shocked. Even a level 98 Title Douluo would be injured by this attack, but Lin Mu blocked it with a casual strike.

Could it be that Lin Mu has already reached the level of Limit Douluo?
With things having come to this point, Tang Xiao decisively put these concerns aside and once again used the Haotian Nine Absolutes to smash towards Lin Mu.

Unlike last time, Tang Xiao didn't stop at all this time, continuously swinging the Haotian Hammer, giving Lin Mu no chance to catch his breath.

However, Lin Mu calmly blocked the attack, giving the impression of being completely unburdened, which greatly undermined the confidence of Tang Xiao and the others.

They had given it their all, but Lin Mu handled it with ease, as if they were being used as a whetstone by Lin Mu.

At this moment, the four elders were already having second thoughts. They already harbored considerable resentment towards Tang Hao, and now, having been tricked by him once again, how could they possibly be willing to risk their lives for a sect outcast? Most importantly, if anything unexpected happened to them, the strength of the Clear Sky Sect would plummet.

If the Spirit Hall comes looking for trouble again, the Clear Sky Sect will have no chance of resisting. Even for the sake of the sect, they absolutely cannot fight to the death.

Just as Tang Xiao was about to launch another attack, the Second Elder took the initiative to interrupt the formation.

The moment the formation lost its support, Tang Xiao's strength was greatly reduced, and he could no longer block Lin Mu's attack. He was sent flying along with the Haotian Hammer.

It finally fell heavily to the ground and rolled around several times in a sorry state.

A moment later, Tang Xiao stumbled to his feet and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, he stared intently at the Second Elder and loudly demanded, "Second Elder, why did you do this?!"

"Sect Master, everything I have done is for the sake of the sect."

Faced with the questioning, the Second Elder remained calm and said firmly, "Even the five of us combined couldn't defeat him. Continuing to fight will only bring trouble upon ourselves. They're just two soul bones; we don't need them."

The other three elders nodded in agreement. Their main reason for coming here was to retrieve the two soul bones, not to seek revenge for Tang Hao.

But now it seems impossible to reclaim the sect's soul bone; ensuring one's own safety is the priority.

"puff--"

Seeing the four elders' attitude, Tang Xiao was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. Although he knew that Tang Hao's actions were indeed wrong, he did not expect the four elders to be so cold and ruthless.

From a certain perspective, this can be considered a form of karmic retribution.

Immediately afterwards, the Second Elder looked at Lin Mu, his tone pleading: "Lin Mu, you can do whatever you want with Tang Hao or those two soul bones. We'll keep to ourselves from now on."

"It's a bit too late to say that now. I still prefer the way you guys were before, when you were so unruly."

Lin Mu clearly had no intention of letting them off so easily. He hadn't gone all out before, but Tang Hao still dared to come here and even brought a lot of helpers.

If we let them go this time, they might dare to come again next time. He was able to arrive in time this time, but he might not be able to next time.

Seeing that Lin Mu had no intention of letting them off the hook, the Second Elder's face darkened, and he conceded again, saying, "We are willing to apologize."

"Enough with the nonsense. Either you cripple your cultivation yourselves, or I'll beat you up and then forcibly cripple your cultivation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mu, holding the Heaven and Earth Thunder Sword, walked forward step by step.

Seeing Lin Mu closing in step by step, the four elders panicked. If their cultivation was crippled, the strength of the Haotian Sect would plummet, leaving them vulnerable to the Martial Soul Hall's manipulation.

"Lin Mu, don't you think this is too cruel?"

Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, the Second Elder began to scold loudly again, seemingly trying to reason with Lin Mu.

However, this move was completely ineffective against Lin Mu. He directly aimed the Heaven and Earth Thunder Sword at the Second Elder, releasing a powerful electric current to help him get rid of his bad habit of trying to talk his way out of trouble.

As expected, the Second Elder immediately shut his mouth under the stimulation of the electric current.

Seeing their second brother's eyes turn white from the electric shock, the other three trembled with fear and pleaded, "Lin Mu, Tang Hao orchestrated all of this!"

"Even if you beg me, I won't let you go."
