With that, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's pupils constricted simultaneously.
Those who disrespected the Elder Hall were tantamount to sect rebels, and the Five Great Elders could kill them at any time.
As the Sect Master, Tang Xiao quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Esteemed Elders, Sui Sui and Little San are young and impulsive, they didn't mean any harm..."
"Uncle, you don't need to speak for us. Sui Sui and I have made up our minds." Tang San interrupted Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao was greatly anxious, "Little San!"
Tang San silently shook his head at Tang Xiao.
His attitude was also clear: he was on the same side as Tang Sui.
The Clear Sky Sect's current position was indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if that meant their parents had to endure grievances within the Clear Sky Sect, then Tang San had no desire for his parents to remain there now.
He would rather bring his parents to the Tang Sect. Sui Sui was probably also thinking it would be better to bring their parents to the City of Slaughter and settle them with Da Ming and Er Ming.
With the great battle imminent, from the first moment he stepped into the Clear Sky Sect until now, Tang San had never expected the Clear Sky Sect to be of any help to them in the future war against the Spirit Hall, or the current Spirit Empire.
Even with his father's disapproving gaze, his and Sui Sui's opinions and stances were consistent.
If they didn't want them, then they wouldn't stay.
After settling the score, they would directly use their tokens, pay respects to Grandpa, and then their family of five would leave.
The Seventh Elder let out a cold laugh, and the Second Elder's face darkened as he slowly stepped forward, with the other three elders following behind him.
Including the Seventh Elder, their imposing aura suddenly intensified, and they stood in a line, led by the Second Elder slightly in front, forming a confrontation with Tang Sui and Tang San. One by one, spirit rings were released from their bodies. The pressure from the five Titled Douluo-level cultivators made the air feel as if it had solidified, becoming incredibly heavy.
"Life and death are irrelevant, you speak quite boldly." The Second Elder roared with laughter, his gaze filled with immense pressure falling on Tang San, who was radiating a faint blue spirit power, and Tang Sui, who remained impassive. His eyes narrowed as he said, "Since that is the case, then let us proceed to Chuanyun Peak."
Despite their anger, they had to admit that in a one-on-one fight, any one of the siblings would have a difficult time against them, or even lose face without being able to defeat the opponent.
Although five against two was somewhat unfair and the victory would not be glorious, they absolutely could not lose the face of the Clear Sky Sect in this matter.
Everyone then relocated to Chuanyun Peak, a place shrouded in mist and perpetually covered in frost and snow.
Several towering mountain peaks of varying heights guarded the highest peak in the center.
The five elders floated and, in a few blinks, landed on the platform of the highest mountain peak.
To avoid accidental injury, direct disciples below the Spirit Elder cultivation level were not allowed to spectate.
The number of third-generation disciples present instantly thinned, while second-generation disciples were more numerous.
They stood on the farthest mountain peak, observing the snow-capped peak where the five elders were.
When it came to the actual fight, they were still astonished by the boldness of Tang Sui and Tang San.
"To challenge the Five Great Elders with just the two of them! You know the Five Great Elders are all Titled Douluo-level powerhouses, and the Second Elder's cultivation has reached level 95, a distinguished Super Douluo. They're truly mad!"
"Indeed! Although Tang Sui has also entered the ranks of Titled Douluo, Tang San is still a Spirit Douluo. The gap between level eighty and level ninety is not something that can be bridged by combat skills alone. Furthermore, after level ninety, each level is a vast chasm."
"In my opinion, their road to glory might end here."
Some sighed, some shook their heads, and some felt it might be possible but dared not speak.
Tang Sui lightly tapped her feet, her body defying gravity as she flew towards the highest snow-capped peak. Tang San leaped a few times, closely following her onto the snow-capped peak platform where goose feathers of snow were falling. He landed diagonally in front of Tang Sui and said in a deep voice to the five elders, "If my sister and I win this time, I hope all the elders and clan members will allow our family to pay respects to Grandpa."
Tang San no longer intended to house his parents in the Clear Sky Sect. The most important purpose of this battle was singular—to seek justice for his parents!
The Second Elder took a step to the side with his right foot, and a powerful aura surged outward. The scattered snowflakes turned into a blizzard in the strong wind. Even the wind and snow on another mountain peak two hundred meters away were affected. Cold snow lashed against people's faces, its chill penetrating their skin and freezing them to the bone.
"If you can win, I will retract what I said. But if you lose, you will receive the punishment you deserve for your actions today!" A sharp glint flashed in the Second Elder's eyes. He slightly spread his five fingers, and the immense, dark Clear Sky Hammer was firmly grasped in his hand.
Tang Sui was unimpressed, "I hope you will truly keep your word this time. Let's begin!"
The instant the last syllable fell, her first and fifth spirit rings lit up brightly. Black and red auxiliary light instantly fell upon her and Tang San. Miniature jade-white halos surrounded their legs, directly amplifying their power to the fullest!
Tang San also launched a preemptive strike, directly activating one of his eighth spirit skills.
"Eighth Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Demonic Mirror Annihilation!"
He stomped forward heavily. The bright world instantly transformed into a dim red light. Ripples of dark red demonic patterns spread through the viscous air, bursting forth with several red beams of light that pursued the movement trajectories of the five elders, solidifying the air. Exquisite, pale red crystals instantly condensed, attempting to first seal the movements of the five elders.
Just as the five elders were about to be struck by the red light, they roared, and powerful black energy waves exploded. The rising black light quickly enveloped their bodies. With a "clang" and a boom, the red crystals that attacked them were all shattered!
Tang San, suffering the backlash of being repelled, let out a low groan and took a step back.
Tang Sui's brows furrowed, and she looked up at the five elders who had leaped high into the air.
"Tang San, Tang Sui, today we will jointly break your sharp edge!"
The Second Elder's distant voice echoed from a hundred meters in the sky.
Who would break whose edge remained to be seen.
Tang Sui let out a light scoff, exchanged a quick glance with Tang San, and her figure instantly vanished like an illusion. She silently reappeared from a black vortex that had expanded behind the Seventh Elder. A cold and bloody glint flashed in her pitch-black eyes. Her armor-piercing mask spun at high speed, drilling towards the Seventh Elder's back with unstoppable force!
"Fourth Spirit Skill, Eternal Oblivion!"
The surprise attack from behind made the Seventh Elder's hair stand on end. He intensified the defensive energy that enveloped his body in a black beam of light.
With a deafening roar of "boom boom," the single-target attack, whose power was doubled in its offensive form, collided with the black protective qi. In the end, because the black light column had now shared energy with the light pillars held up by the other four Titled Douluo, it only cracked slightly!
—Author's Notes—
PS: Generally, a hundred-thousand-year spirit skill has two, but Sui Sui only has one hundred-thousand-year spirit skill.
Because Sui Sui absorbed spirit bones transformed from spirit beasts, the attribute bonuses were added to other spirit skills. Consider it a form of balanced limitation.
The first wave of updates failed. There will be a third wave of updates later, mwah~
The third wave will definitely be the final one~
