Chapter 111: Instant Kill—Glowing Feather Douluo
Gui Mei secretly calculated in his heart, deciding that this was the perfect opportunity to use these four peak Rank Ninety-Six Super Douluo to test his current strength.
Having been partners for many years, Yue Guan immediately understood his intent. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly as his figure flashed backward, retreating from the battlefield and leaving everything to Gui Mei to handle alone against the four opponents.
Being treated with such blatant disdain, Fifteen Ton Douluo, Demon Suppressing Douluo, and Glowing Feather Douluo were all furious.
As Worship Elders of the Spirit Hall, their status was lofty. In ordinary times, they did not even answer to Pope Bibi Dong, obeying only Qian Daoliu.
Within the Spirit Hall, they were figures of absolute authority—commanding respect, issuing orders that none dared disobey.
Yet Gui Mei had originally been nothing more than an elder of the Spirit Hall, successively serving under Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong, often acting merely as an enforcer—a role little better than a hired blade, humble as an ox or a horse.
And now, they were being humiliated by such a person.
How could they possibly tolerate this?
Fifteen Ton Douluo's beard and hair bristled as his eyes widened in rage. Soul power surged wildly from his body as he roared:
"Gui Mei, you're far too arrogant! Just because you possess a few hundred thousand-year soul rings, you think you're invincible? How dare you look down on us like this!"
"Hmph! Today, we'll show you the true might of us brothers!"
Demon Suppressing Douluo also gritted his teeth, the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand swelling abruptly.
"In my entire life, I've never suffered such humiliation. Gui Mei—today, you will pay the price for your arrogance!"
Glowing Feather Douluo spoke coldly, murderous intent in his eyes shooting straight toward Gui Mei like a tangible blade.
Seeing Gui Mei act with such overwhelming arrogance, Tang Xiao felt his fury burn even hotter—yet at the same time, a faint glimmer of hope flickered in his eyes.
During the last battle against Gui Mei and Yue Guan, he had been forced to protect the injured Tang Hao and Tang San, preventing him from fighting at full strength.
He had originally believed that, with no such burdens, relying on the Clear Sky Hammer's terrifying power and explosive strength would be enough to threaten Gui Mei.
But to his shock, even a Heaven-Shaking Strike unleashed in the Martial Soul True Body state had been effortlessly blocked.
Only then did Tang Xiao truly realize just how terrifying Gui Mei's current strength had become.
Still, if all four of them joined forces against Gui Mei, their chances of victory would undoubtedly increase significantly.
Gui Mei's speed was extremely fast.
Any ineffective attacks would only waste precious soul power.
At that moment, Tang Xiao devised a plan.
He would use his strongest attack to deal with Gui Mei. If Gui Mei underestimated him, there might be a chance to kill him outright and avenge Tang Hao and their fallen clansmen.
Even if Gui Mei managed to block that attack, the soul power consumed would be enormous.
Afterward, Fifteen Ton Douluo and the other two could continue the assault on Gui Mei and Yue Guan, thus greatly increasing their odds of victory.
"Gui Mei, you arrogant fool—do you dare take another strike from my hammer?!"
"The Clear Sky Hammer is nothing special. Even if I took ten of your strikes, what of it?"
"Hmph! Then let you taste the might of the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes!"
Tang Xiao roared.
In an instant, the four men separated, forming a four-cornered formation that surrounded Gui Mei at the center.
Gui Mei hovered in midair, his posture upright and immovable, the arrogance on his face not diminishing in the slightest.
"Clear Sky Nine Absolutes!"
Tang Xiao bellowed as he swung the Clear Sky Hammer once more.
The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes was the Clear Sky Sect's supreme combat technique, composed of nine distinct force-manipulation techniques: Void, Seal, Pierce, Penetrate, Entangle, Shock, Break, Annihilate, and Collapse—techniques that must be executed in conjunction with the Clear Sky Hammer.
On the foundation of the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, Tang Xiao had created his own Killing Mantra.
This was the ultimate move formed by the fusion of all nine techniques—his strongest killing strike.
As soul power surged violently, Tang Xiao seemed to merge completely with the Clear Sky Hammer, reaching the supreme realm of unity between man and hammer.
His entire body was enveloped in an intense blue radiance.
Within that light, arcs of lightning crackled, releasing sharp, explosive sounds.
At this moment, Tang Xiao was like a war god striding forth from an ancient battlefield, bearing an aura capable of destroying heaven and earth.
In his hands, the Clear Sky Hammer was no longer merely a weapon—it was an extension of his body, a manifestation of his will.
With the movement of his arm, the Clear Sky Hammer stirred a violent torrent of air.
The blue radiance grew ever more blazing, as if it were about to ignite the entire world!
Tang Xiao stepped through the void, yet the land itself seemed to tremble beneath his power.
His gaze was resolute and unyielding, holding only a single thought in his heart—
To avenge Tang Hao and his clan, and utterly annihilate this arrogant foe before him!
"One Against Ten Thousand—Killing Mantra!"
Tang Xiao roared once more, his thunderous voice echoing through the valleys like rolling thunder.
The Clear Sky Hammer in his hands was raised high before being smashed viciously down toward Gui Mei.
This strike condensed all of Tang Xiao's strength.
That blue radiance, forged from ultimate power, surged forth like a raging thunder dragon, carrying a destructive aura as it swept toward Gui Mei!
The entire space seemed to be torn in half!
Sensing the terrifying might of this attack, Gui Mei's expression changed slightly. In an instant, he activated his left leg soul bone skill—Invincible Golden Body.
In the blink of an eye, his entire body was enveloped in a dazzling, resplendent golden light.
At the same time, his fifth and sixth soul rings suddenly fused, erupting with even more brilliant blood-red radiance.
Seeing this scene, Fifteen Ton Douluo, Demon Suppressing Douluo, and Glowing Feather Douluo—who were watching from the sidelines—were all utterly shocked.
They could clearly feel the terror of Tang Xiao's strike. Yet instead of dodging, Gui Mei had fused two soul rings together and chosen to confront it head-on.
Gui Mei's gaze was cold and sharp as he swung the longsword in his left hand.
A sword qi imbued with overwhelming power instantly cleaved forth, meeting Tang Xiao's attack directly.
This single strike condensed the strength of the Evil Spirit Orca King, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and the three Fifteen-Ton Ant Emperor brothers—its power was enough to topple mountains and overturn seas!
The two attacks collided head-on.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion erupted, as though heaven and earth were collapsing!
Under the shock of this tremendous force, the surrounding mountain peaks crumbled one after another. Massive boulders came crashing down, sending clouds of dust billowing into the air.
The heavens shook, and the earth trembled violently!
Tang Xiao once again felt a mountain-crushing surge of power rushing toward him—this time even more ferocious than before!
His once-invincible stance collapsed instantly under that force!
Though he struggled with all his might to stabilize himself, the power was simply too overwhelming to resist.
His body was blasted away once again!
"Pfft!"
Tang Xiao spat out a large mouthful of blood midair, a horrifying mist of crimson scattering through the sky.
His face instantly turned deathly pale, his eyes revealing pain that he could no longer conceal.
Gui Mei's assault did not slow in the slightest just because Tang Xiao had been blown back.
His figure flashed like lightning as he pursued Tang Xiao relentlessly, cold killing intent flickering in his eyes as he vowed to finish him off completely!
Just as Gui Mei's attack was about to descend, despair surged within Tang Xiao's heart.
At that critical moment, Glowing Feather Douluo unleashed his ninth soul skill—Ice God Glowing Feather.
An arrow forged from the fusion of light and ice attributes shot forth, carrying a destructive aura as it streaked toward Gui Mei.
"Meddling fool!"
Sensing the sudden lethal attack, Gui Mei's eyes flashed with disdain.
A glimmer of light flickered from his left leg as his figure vanished instantly from the air.
When he reappeared, he was already hovering in midair less than twenty meters from Glowing Feather Douluo.
Faced with such a huge threat, Light Feather Douluo was taken aback.
He knew he was no match for Gui Mei and immediately spread his ice wings, attempting to flee this land of death.
However, he discovered to his horror that his movements had become sluggish, as though bound tightly by an invisible force.
"You brought this upon yourselves!"
Gui Mei did not hesitate.
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes as the Netherworld Soul-Slaying Sword swept upward from below!
A sword qi as thin as a cicada's wing instantly took shape, carrying an incomparably sharp edge as it slashed straight across Glowing Feather Douluo's body.
Slash!
With a soft, chilling sound, Glowing Feather Douluo's body was instantly cut in two!
