Dugu Bo was suddenly struck with alarm as he recalled that aside from the Hao Tian Nine Extremes, the Hao Tian Sect also passed down a technique for accumulating power—the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique. However, this technique had always been hyped as a blacksmith's ultimate skill, and Dugu Bo had momentarily forgotten about it.
"It's already too late!"
A sinister smile hung on Tang Hao's lips. During their earlier skirmish, he had already completed the energy buildup.
The buildup of eighty-one hammer strikes reached its peak in an instant, amplified by the terrifying boost of the True Body of the Hao Tian Hammer. The massive force was unleashed directly onto the Jade Phosphorous Snake Emperor.
Though the Jade Phosphorou Snake Emperor's enormous body was agile, it couldn't evade in time. Dugu Bo could only leap backward desperately.
His colossal True Body shattered instantly, and Dugu Bo suffered backlash from his martial soul, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
But the overwhelming power of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique didn't end there. A powerful gust of wind slammed into Dugu Bo, sending him flying backward uncontrollably.
"Old Poison Master!"
Director Lu Feng's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets as he hurriedly caught the unconscious Dugu Bo mid-air.
Dugu Bo tried to tough it out, but darkness overtook him, and he collapsed into unconsciousness.
Director Lu Feng's expression turned grim. His old friend had been gravely injured, but even before this, the two of them were already struggling to hold their own against the Tang brothers. Now, alone, Lu Feng knew he stood no chance.
"You've vented your anger—please leave. Otherwise, this feud between your side and our Tianxing Academy will become irreconcilable."
A gentleman can wait ten years for revenge. Suppressing the rage in his heart, Director Lu Feng attempted to reason with them.
"Leave? Old man, are you still asleep? If Ye Wen doesn't come out today and write an apology letter to my little sister, no matter how many people you bring, I'll crush all of you," Tang Hao declared arrogantly.
However, the massive Hao Tian Hammer returned to its original size, revealing that maintaining the True Body consumed far more energy than expected—even Tang Hao couldn't sustain it for long.
At this point, Tang Xiao had no choice but to follow Tang Hao's reckless behavior.
The Tai Pan Rock Python, according to ancient legends, was a descendant of the Mountain Dragon King. Though it lacked the horrifying toxicity of the Jade Phosphorous Snake Emperor, it was still considered a super martial soul due to its innate ability to control earth elements and its incredibly powerful physique, capable of constricting enemies to death.
Lu Feng used earth elements to wrap and protect his unconscious friend.
At this stage, the conflict had escalated into a full-blown factional struggle. There was no room for restraint—it was now a fight to the bitter end.
The Tai Pan Rock Python's constriction ability was useless against these two hammer-wielding brothers.
"You forced me into this!" Director Lu Feng said gravely.
The two brothers remained unconcerned. They were somewhat familiar with the Tai Pan Rock Python as a spirit beast.
Their overall assessment was simple: strong control abilities, but insufficient attack power.
Its reliance on controlling earth elements to restrain opponents posed no real threat to two weapon-type soul masters with devastating destructive power—especially since their soul power levels surpassed his.
Earthy-yellow soul power surged forth as the Tai Pan Rock Python beneath Lu Feng let out a skyward roar, its tawny scales gleaming brilliantly.
"Self-created Soul Skill·Pillar of Stone Shield!"
As his voice fell, the ground beneath the Tai Pan Rock Python cracked and rose upward.
"Take this!" Director Lu Feng shouted furiously.
Tang Hao paid no heed and charged forward, intending to deliver the same devastating combo that had crushed Dugu Bo.
Under Lu Feng's control, the chunks of earth began to compress further, transforming into dense stone pillars that hurtled toward Tang Hao.
"Such trivial tricks dare to challenge me? Shatter!"
Tang Hao's right arm swung rapidly. To him, these boulders, which would pulverize ordinary people, were no different from pebbles. He smashed them one by one with ease.
Tang Xiao didn't rush to act but noticed the issue. These boulders, though harmless to them, came in an endless wave.
This meant the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique couldn't accumulate power.
Using the Hao Tian Nine Extremes would consume too much energy.
It seemed Lu Feng had mastered the essence of earth element control, aiming to wear them down completely.
"Though impressive, the reputation of the Hao Tian Sect cannot falter. Your Tianxing Academy will have to bear the consequences."
With that thought, Tang Xiao moved swiftly, closing in on Director Lu Feng.
But Lu Feng, having grasped the essence of earth element control, wasn't about to let Tang Xiao succeed so easily. With a flick of his left hand, the flat ground erupted with a forest of sharp earthen spikes.
Though the Hao Tian Hammer was formidable, neither brother had yet broken through to the Title Douluo level, leaving them without flight capabilities. They had no choice but to endure this setback.
Unfortunately, earlier, when Lu Feng had used a gravity skill to support Dugu Bo, he had assumed it would keep the Twin Stars of hao Tian in check. Little did he know, their sect had long accustomed themselves to extreme gravity conditions due to their martial souls.
This miscalculation allowed the brothers to corner Dugu Bo.
Though Lu Feng's self-created soul skill, Pillar of Stone Shield, seemed to restrain the Tang brothers, his soul power reserves were insufficient to maintain it for long. This technique consumed an immense amount of soul power, leaving him in a desperate last stand.
"My apologies, Principal Ye Wen. It seems this old body of mine will shame the academy. But fighting the Twin Stars of Hao Tian to this extent—I can only say I've done my best."
Lu Feng's heart sank. He had only recently broken through to Soul Douluo, yet here he was, suffering such a crushing defeat.
Watching the weakening control of the Pillar of Stone Shield over the earth and rocks, the Tang brothers' hearts swelled with joy, sensing victory drawing near.
"How dare you cause trouble at the Tianxing Academy!"
Suddenly, a cold voice cut through the battlefield.
Ah Yin appeared, her Blue Silver wings spread wide, her gaze icy.
"Lady Ah Yin, please retreat! These two are Soul Douluos—you, a mere Soul Sage, cannot withstand them!"
Seeing that it was Ye Wen's wife coming to assist, but her cultivation clearly lagging far behind the brothers, Lu Feng could only urge Ah Yin to leave.
But Ah Yin paid no mind to Lu Feng's words.
On her way back with Misael, she had already sensed the battle raging at the Tianxing Academy. She sent Misael back to her clan and rushed to aid the academy. After hearing explanations from the students, she knew who the intruders were.
The Tianxing Academy was the home she and Ye Wen had painstakingly built together amidst the struggles of multiple factions. Now, seeing it insulted in this manner, she cared not for the disparity in cultivation or the identity of her opponents.
"The Tianxing Academy may be small, but it is not a place anyone can trample upon.
Seventh Soul Skill·True Body of the Blue Silver Sword Empress!"
Summoning her seven soul rings, Ah Yin entered the True Body state without hesitation.
"Pay the price for your actions!
Blue Silver Domain·Myriad Swords Domain!!"
Her powerful domain unfolded instantly. The devastated earth sprouted countless sword-like Blue Silver Grass, launching a ferocious assault toward the Tang brothers.
