Chapter 654 The Real Clear Sky Hammer, Clear Sky Douluo in Full Form

Tang Hao roared wildly, "Little San, look carefully. This is the true power of our Clear Sky Hammer from the Clear Sky Sect!"

As he spoke, Tang Hao strode forward, his entire body moving like a whirlwind, his Clear Sky Hammer flashing rapidly as he charged straight at Golden Crocodile Douluo. If Golden Crocodile Douluo was like a dazzling golden sun at this moment, then Tang Hao was like a black demonic sun, filled with a wild, domineering, and sinister aura of devouring.

From childhood to adulthood, Tang San had only ever witnessed Tang Hao's power once, back in the Spirit Hall, when Tang Hao single-handedly overpowered several Title Douluos to save him and Xiao Wu. However, at that time, Tang Hao's old injuries hadn't healed, and his strength was significantly diminished. Tang San had never seen his father's true power before, and now, watching his father unleash his power, he ate a recovery sausage to replenish his energy while intently observing.

At this moment, the Demon-Slaying Douluo had recovered, but he did not intervene. Instead, he quickly stepped aside. From the respectful look on his face towards the Golden Crocodile Douluo, one could see how high the Second Elder's status was in the Spirit Empire.

Tang San calmed down, his mind racing. He knew that the Heaven Dou Empire had no chance of breaching Jialing Pass. The reinforcements of the Spirit Empire's six Grand Elders and five thousand Soul Masters had completely reversed the balance of power. Including the Thousand-Jun Douluo he had blasted away, there were four Grand Elder-level Title Douluos within Jialing Pass. It was already a remarkable feat that his uncle, leading the Clear Sky Sect disciples, had managed to cover the retreat of the Heaven Dou Empire's army. Another attack was impossible. A golden opportunity had been lost. However, while the Heaven Dou Empire suffered considerable losses in this battle, the Spirit Empire's defenders at Jialing Pass also suffered heavy losses. In terms of numbers, the Angel and Holy Dragon Soul Master legions combined would be lucky to have ten thousand men remaining; the number of casualties was countless.

While the Heaven Dou Empire also suffered heavy losses, at least the Tang Family Army remained unscathed, and the number of Soul Masters lost was far fewer than their opponents. The Heaven Dou Empire's national strength is formidable; overall, although today's battle couldn't decisively defeat the enemy, the Heaven Dou Empire still holds a subtle advantage. Although Bibi Dong isn't dead, she will be unable to fight for at least a month. The crucial point is how to contend with the six Grand Elders after this battle.

Thinking this, Tang San gave a wink to his companions on the other side. The group of powerful figures, already holding the upper hand, left only Sword Douluo to hold the line, while the others quickly retreated from the city walls. Sword Douluo then came to Tang San's side to protect him. At this moment, the eyes of this level 97 Title Douluo were filled with fervor. He certainly recognized Tang Hao; this former Haotian Douluo had created too many miracles in the Soul Master world. However, he had also heard of Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had once been on par with Sword Douluo's grandfather. His seniority and strength were undoubtedly among the best of the older generation. The clash between these two generations of powerhouses would be absolutely spectacular for Sword Douluo, who was unlikely to improve any further. He didn't want to miss such a golden opportunity. With only one arm remaining, he might be able to learn something from this top-tier duel. It's important to understand that the level of Soul Power doesn't represent the entirety of strength, as clearly seen in Tang San, who, despite being only level 93, had defeated numerous powerful figures.

Despite the changes in Golden Crocodile Douluo's body, Tang Hao made no move. He continued to point his massive Clear Sky Hammer at the opponent. Due to the sheer size of the Clear Sky Hammer, he could not even see the opponent's body at this moment. However, the aura of dominance emanating from him was not affected by the opponent's identity or strength in the slightest.

With Tang San's help, Tang Hao opened up his eight extraordinary meridians, and his soul power reached level 97. Although the difference between level 97 and level 98 is one level, and he should be at a disadvantage, Tang Hao has never truly lost since his debut. His domineering aura and imposing presence are something even Tang San, who is behind him, admits to being far inferior.

"Come on!" Tang Hao shouted.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's anger intensified. He was three generations higher than Tang Hao and, relying on his status, had been waiting for Tang Hao to attack first. However, he hadn't expected Tang Hao to be so arrogant, even disdaining to take advantage of him. His long-dormant rage surged within him. Without another word, his entire body blazed with golden light, and he instantly turned around, his massive tail lashing out at Tang Hao like a steel whip.

That was certainly not a simple strike. As the enormous crocodile tail lashed out, the air in its path twisted and became illusory, making it impossible to see the true location of the long tail. The terrifying airflow caused the air to emit a series of shrill screams and sonic booms. No soul skills were used; it was just the simplest physical attack.

Tang Hao's movements were equally simple. He stepped forward with his left foot, slamming it heavily onto the ground. With a deafening roar, large cracks immediately appeared on the solid city wall of Jialing Pass, centered on his left foot. Tang Hao's right arm, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, instantly extended behind his back. In a flash, all the muscles in his body tensed completely, and a strong black light merged him and the hammer into one. He lifted his left heel, supporting himself entirely on his toes. The trouser leg at his left calf instantly ripped open, revealing his hind leg muscles, which were even more solid than granite. The next moment, the Clear Sky Hammer had already been swung out silently.

That's right, there was absolutely no sound, as if all sound had been sucked away by this hammer blow. The enormous Clear Sky Hammer appeared out of nowhere. Although there was no sound to highlight its power, in Tang San's eyes, this hammer blow was a complete fusion of Tang Hao's essence, energy, and spirit, and even his own aura of dominance over the world was completely integrated into the Clear Sky Hammer.

This seemingly simple hammer blow gave Tang San a completely new understanding of hammer wielding. Just as Tang Hao said, this was the true Clear Sky Hammer!

boom--

The Clear Sky Hammer and the crocodile tail collided violently, sending terrifying shockwaves flying in all directions. Tang San could clearly feel how terrifying the power unleashed by his father's hammer strike was, giving him a feeling that even he himself might not be able to withstand it with the Trident of the Sea God.

When Tang San was very young, Tang Hao had taught him that the calves were the source of power, and the muscles in the calves were like the second and third hearts. Before today, Tang San had thought he was doing very well. But now, witnessing his father unleash this hammer blow, he realized that his mastery of power was still far, far behind. At the moment of the power explosion, the muscles in his father's left calf truly pounded like a heart. His entire body, starting from his calf, stretched out like a large bow, perfectly fusing physical strength, the power of the Clear Sky Hammer, mental strength, and soul power into one. Tang Hao, once hailed as a once-in-a-century genius of the Clear Sky Sect, finally revealed his true strength before his son.

The Golden Crocodile Douluo's crocodile tail was suddenly swung up in front of the Clear Sky Hammer, causing the Golden Crocodile Douluo's body to spin half a circle as well.

The amount of soul power he released was definitely no less than that of Tang Hao. However, even though his soul power should have completely suppressed Tang Hao, he was completely at a disadvantage in this attack.

Tang Hao's movements didn't stop. With a sweeping swing of his hammer, he knocked away the crocodile's tail. His entire left foot, as his body spun rapidly, sank into the hard ground like a drill. The Clear Sky Hammer, propelled by his incredibly powerful body, suddenly spun even more, this time with a greater draw and a more ferocious burst of power. The second hammer blow followed immediately after the first, slamming towards Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Golden Crocodile Douluo, as expected of a level 98 Title Douluo, was initially taken aback by the initial clash, but his reaction was incredibly swift. As his body spun horizontally in mid-air, his seventh spirit ring shone brightly, and his muscles and meridians surged instantly, unleashing his Golden Crocodile True Form. He transformed into a giant crocodile over ten meters long. He still lashed out with his tail, but this time, his aura was completely different. The power was so immense that sand and stones flew across Jialing Pass, and the terrifying energy he generated was like clouds obscuring the sun.

Faced with his opponent's suddenly increased power, Tang Hao remained unmoved, unleashing his second hammer blow with the same momentum. Just before the Clear Sky Hammer collided with the crocodile tail of the Golden Crocodile Douluo in his Martial Soul True Form state, suddenly, the entire Clear Sky Hammer turned completely white. Tang Hao's domineering aura instantly transformed into a frenzied one, roaring like an enraged Vajra. The surging energy caused the earth and rocks beneath him to shatter inch by inch.

boom--

The two collided a second time without any suspense. This time, Tang Hao failed to blast the crocodile tail away again, but the crocodile tail also failed to shake his body.

Tang Hao leaped forward with unparalleled aggression, his left foot striking the ground once more. This time, his foot created a massive crater in the entire city wall. With a deafening roar, the Clear Sky Hammer swelled in the wind, its already enormous body transforming into a dark cloud, crashing down upon Golden Crocodile Douluo with overwhelming force.

From the first to the third strike, Tang Hao didn't display the same fluid grace as Tang San, but the connection between his three strikes was filled with a powerful beauty. His domineering aura made him appear like a Clear Sky Hammer, relentlessly forging his opponent. Despite having superior soul power, cultivation, and experience, the Golden Crocodile Douluo was completely on the defensive.

The third hammer blow, landing squarely on Tang Hao's head, was a manifestation of his true form. It was with this very blow that Tang Hao had saved Tang San and Xiao Wu before the Pope's Palace. Now, he faced not the Pope's Palace, but the Second Elder of the Spirit Empire. These three consecutive hammer blows had pushed his aura to its peak, an aura of terrifying power beyond description. Even the Golden Crocodile Douluo, whose cultivation was clearly superior, felt a sense of insurmountable power.

Why? Why is this happening? Is the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul really that powerful? Or is this middle-aged man already that powerful?

Golden Crocodile Douluo had once met Tang Chen, the most outstanding sect master of the Clear Sky Sect. However, when Tang Chen fought Qian Daoliu, his use of the Clear Sky Hammer was completely different from that of Tang Chen before him. Although Tang Chen was also domineering, he relied more on a combination of his powerful soul power and skill, and his exquisite attacks often left his opponents with no way to defend against them.

However, Tang Hao was not following Tang Chen's path. What he displayed was pure power—unparalleled and overwhelming power. Even if his opponent's soul power was higher than his, he still chose to overwhelm him with sheer force.

At this moment, Titan, the Tang Clan's Power Hall Master who had already retreated, was in tears. The reason he respected Tang Hao so much and recognized Tang Hao as his master was precisely because of Tang Hao's pure and domineering power with the Clear Sky Hammer.

As he retreated, Flander, freed from his Golden Sacred Dragon form, felt a chill run through his body. He still vividly remembered how he and Zhao Wuji had been completely overwhelmed by Tang Hao's absolute power, even before Tang Hao had used any soul skills or released his martial soul. He was truly grateful that he hadn't actually challenged Tang Hao back then.

Tang Xiao, who was leading the Haotian Sect disciples and covering the army's retreat, and who was also holding off three elders as they withdrew from Jialing Pass, also saw this scene. His eyes were a little dazed, but the Haotian Hammer in his hand became even more powerful, forcing the three elders to stay at the city gate and unable to break through.

Haotian, the Haotian Douluo of the Haotian Sect, has finally returned. The title of Haotian Douluo in the Haotian Sect never simply represents the strongest in soul power, but the true strongest. This was true of Tang Chen in the past, and of Tang Hao now. The Haotian Douluo, dominating the world and radiating boundless power atop Jialing Pass, brought down his hammer, proclaiming that the Haotian Sect has returned.

Finally, even under the overwhelming pressure, Golden Crocodile Douluo dared not take it head-on. His crocodile body instantly shifted backward, and his hard head slammed heavily into the side of the Clear Sky Hammer's Clear Sky True Form. However, his body was sent flying backward by the impact, his back violently jolted away. The Clear Sky Hammer, without stopping, continued its relentless bombardment of the Jialing Pass city wall.

A flash of black light seemed to violently shake the entire space. Everyone felt their heartbeats pause for a moment, then resume twice as fast. Just as their hearts began to beat again, a deafening roar, capable of carrying for miles, suddenly erupted from the top of Jialing Pass.

The unrestrained black light scattered and flew everywhere. On the Haotian Sect's city wall, which was a hundred meters thick, a huge gap ten meters deep was actually blasted out amidst the flying earth and stones.

Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly realized that he might really be getting old. Although he landed safely and was not greatly affected by Tang Hao's hammer, looking at the huge gap in front of him and feeling the opponent's domineering aura, he knew that his heart had already lost to his opponent.

Tang Hao did not pursue, but stood with his hammer held horizontally. At this moment, he looked no less imposing than Tang San, who had defeated Bibi Dong and floated in mid-air wielding the golden trident. His domineering presence contrasted sharply with Tang San's elegance, but both undoubtedly deeply moved the hearts of the Heaven Dou Empire's warriors.

"Golden Crocodile Douluo, I forgot to tell you earlier, my name is Tang Hao, and my title is Haotian. I am the Haotian Douluo of the Haotian Sect in this generation. I severely injured Qian Xunji back then, and he died after vomiting blood. I remember that at that time his soul power had already reached level 95, while I had just entered the titled Douluo realm."

Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "You are Tang Hao!" Although he hadn't left the Elder Hall for a long time, how could he not know the name Tang Hao?

Qian Xunji, the only son of the previous Pope of the Spirit Hall and Grand Elder Qian Daoliu, was once hailed as a prodigy of the Spirit Hall. He reached the Title Douluo realm at the age of fifty and continued to break through to higher levels. However, even so, he was severely injured by Tang Hao and died shortly after returning to the Spirit Hall. The name Tang Hao nearly drove Qian Daoliu mad; the grief of losing his son in his old age led Qian Daoliu to personally hunt down Tang Hao. However, after failing to kill Tang Hao in their initial few encounters, he lost track of him. More than twenty years have passed, and unexpectedly, the Haotian Douluo who once shook the Spirit Hall has returned. And he even appears before him.

Tang Hao raised his left hand, pointed his index finger at Golden Crocodile Douluo, shook his finger, and said coldly, "If you want to avenge Qian Xunji, you're not good enough. Call Qian Daoliu over." As he spoke, he turned and walked to Tang San's side, pulled his son up, patted Tang San's back, and injected a powerful soul force into Tang San's body.

"Little San, remember this: even if you die in battle, you must never fall." As he spoke, he nodded to the Sword Douluo beside him and shouted, "Let's go. Let's see who dares to chase us."

Tang Hao and Sword Douluo simultaneously leaped into the air, carrying Tang San along as the three headed straight for the Heaven Dou Empire's army. At this moment, all six Grand Elders had gathered on the city wall, but just as Tang Hao had said, not one of these six peak Douluo dared to pursue them. Their hearts had already surrendered, defeated by Tang Hao's domineering aura. Tang Hao's three hammer blows not only intimidated Golden Crocodile Douluo but also all the powerful figures of the Spirit Empire. Although his displayed strength wasn't as dazzling as Tang San's Sea God Trident, the overwhelming domineering aura he seemed to possess was something even Tang San lacked.

"Big brother, are we just going to let them go like this?" Qianjun Douluo, who had been blasted off the city wall by Tang San earlier, couldn't help but ask indignantly.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was in a bad mood at the moment, and he roared, "Go ahead and chase after them if you dare! Don't you even look at what time it is? Jialing Pass has become like this. You all go and immediately summon all the generals and above who are in command of troops in the city. The Angel Legion and the Holy Dragon Legion must not rest. Go to the city immediately to guard it, in case the Heaven Dou Empire launches another attack. Jialing Pass is in such a bad state that it is already good enough to be able to stay here."

"Yes." The other five elders, who clearly regarded him as their leader, respectfully agreed and immediately went to issue the orders.

Tang San followed his father back to the front lines of the Heaven Dou army, and couldn't help but look back, only to see a sea of ​​blood. Both sides suffered heavy casualties in this battle, especially inside and outside the gates of Jialing Pass, where corpses piled up like mountains. A conservative estimate puts the casualties at over 200,000, with the dead accounting for more than half. The losses were immense. Although the retreat wasn't too late, resulting in a mutually destructive outcome, seeing so many people die on the battlefield still weighed heavily on Tang San's heart.

Xue Beng approached, and seeing the brothers Tang Hao and Tang Xiao and the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect they brought, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. If the Clear Sky Sect reinforcements hadn't arrived in time, who knows how much greater the losses would have been. Putting aside everything else, if Tang San had truly died in battle, then this battle would have been pointless. From the beginning of the war until now, Xue Beng had noticed that the Empire was becoming increasingly reliant on Tang San. On a battlefield of this scale, the role of a strong individual was no longer just about strength, but more importantly, about their influence on the morale of the entire army.

Although today's attack on Jialing Pass failed and resulted in considerable losses, it is still relatively acceptable.

"Teacher, Imperial Preceptor, it's all my fault today. I was greedy for merit and acted rashly, which led to the deaths of so many excellent warriors." Xue Beng lowered her head before Tang San, tears welling up in her eyes.

Tang San was seriously injured and quite weak. He sighed softly and said, "If it were me, I might have made the same choice as you. Your Majesty, there's no need to blame yourself. It's only natural to be a little impatient when you're about to achieve your goal. Fortunately, we didn't come away empty-handed. Let's retreat to camp and clean up the battlefield first."

Avalanche nodded and said to Marshal Goron, "Marshal, clean up the battlefield, take stock of casualties, and withdraw the troops."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This fierce battle didn't actually last very long, but the large number of Soul Masters involved made it extremely brutal. Ordinary soldiers mostly served as cannon fodder, and even the Soul Masters on the Spirit Empire's side suffered heavy casualties.

Both sides worked together almost simultaneously to clean up the battlefield. The Martial Soul Empire cleaned up the corpses near the moat and inside Jialing Pass on its own, while there were hardly any remnants on the battlefield outside. The Heaven Dou Empire found it much easier to clean up the battlefield, focusing more on saving lives and treating the wounded.

The Martial Soul Empire had no choice but to allocate a large number of manpower to clean up the battlefield; otherwise, if those numerous corpses turned into a plague, that would be a real disaster.

Back at camp, Tang San didn't rest immediately. He needed to make arrangements for his father and uncle's arrival. After all, the four independent clans within the Tang Sect harbored deep resentment towards the Clear Sky Sect. Apart from the Power Clan, the other three clans needed to be appeased. He also needed to integrate the Clear Sky Sect into the main army. As for Emperor Xue Beng, that was easier to handle; Tang Hao's performance at Jialing Pass was enough to impress this talent-hungry emperor.

After the army rested, Xue Beng immediately convened a military meeting to summarize the gains and losses of the battle. Tang San, Master, and other high-ranking officials all came to the central command tent.

Tang San's body was indeed formidable. Although he had suffered significant injuries and expended considerable energy earlier, he had already recovered considerably in the short time since returning to camp. On the surface, it appeared as if he hadn't experienced any depletion at all. This was Tang San's true advantage: with his eight extraordinary meridians opened and his body amplified by twelve high-level spirit rings and six spirit bones, his body was even more solid than cast iron. Furthermore, he possessed the "Wildfire Never Extinguished, Spring Breeze Blows and Regenerates" skill from his Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone. Unless he was directly killed, even severed limbs could regenerate on their own. Injuries would also improve over time. After his spirit power broke through level ninety, this recovery speed became even more impressive.

Inside the main tent were at least legion-level generals. Unlike Tang San's first time attending a military conference, when Tang San entered the main tent with his master, father, and uncle, almost all the generals bowed respectfully to him, including Marshal Golong.

"Teacher, how are you feeling?" Avalanche greeted him personally.

Tang San nodded and said, "It's nothing serious. Your Majesty, let me introduce you. This is my father, Haotian Douluo, Tang Hao. This is my uncle, the sect master of the Haotian Sect, Tang Xiao."

Xue Beng's eyes lit up. He bowed slightly and said to Tang Hao without hesitation, "Greetings, Grandmaster. Please take a seat, Grandmaster."

Tang Hao shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty, please. We are only here to support Your Majesty."

Putting aside the relationship between Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and Tang San, their strength as Title Douluo-level experts and their powerful performance in turning the tide of battle today are enough to make Xue Beng wholeheartedly strive for them.

Xue Beng didn't insist too much, signaling the soldiers to bring chairs for the three, and the Grandmaster received the same treatment. The military conference then began, and no general raised any objection to these four being seated in the main tent. The strength displayed on the battlefield spoke louder than any words. It could be said that without these four, the situation in the war between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Martial Soul Empire would never have been the way it is now.

Tang San, in particular, not only personally defeated top-tier experts, but the Tang Sect's hidden weapon, the Zhuge Crossbow, also repeatedly achieved remarkable feats on the battlefield. For the Heaven Dou Empire's army, his role as the Blue King was immense.

"Marshal, have the casualty statistics come out yet?" Avalanche asked Marshal Goron.

Marshal Golong said with a heavy heart, "The exact figures are not yet available, but the total number of casualties exceeds 100,000. In particular, less than a third of the soldiers who rushed into Jialing Pass were able to withdraw. The fault in this battle lies with this old minister. It was this old minister who was greedy for merit and acted rashly, and did not obey the Blue Lightning King's order to retreat. I beg Your Majesty to punish him according to military law."

Xue Beng sighed and said, "No, the fault does not lie with the Marshal. I was the one who issued the order. I was the one who was greedy for credit and acted rashly. I will issue an edict of self-reproach. I have failed the fallen warriors of the Empire!" As he spoke, his eyes were already red.

Although Tang Sanming knew the avalanche was somewhat staged, it was still quite remarkable that an emperor would be so willing to admit his mistake. However, this also revealed how deeply he had endured back then. It's hard to imagine that the person before him was the same arrogant and domineering fourth prince from back then.

Xue Beng abruptly changed the subject, his face revealing imperial majesty. "Although this all-out offensive suffered many losses due to my mistakes, the Spirit Empire's losses in this war were second only to ours. This is all thanks to the Blue Lightning King, the Blue Hao King, and all the powerful Spirit Masters. They broke through the enemy's blockade and held back the Spirit Empire's strongest Spirit Master team. As for the Imperial Spirit Master Legion and the Tang Family Army, I will reward them according to their merits later."

His gaze turned to the Grand Master, "Imperial Preceptor, the reinforcements from the Spirit Empire have arrived. What do you think we should do?"

The Grandmaster also looked somewhat weary. After meeting Bibi Dong, he remained deeply moved. "The strategic arrangements should still be decided by His Majesty and Marshal Golong. Judging from today's battle, the reinforcements from the Spirit Empire should be their strongest force. Those five thousand Soul Masters were likely mobilized from the Spirit Empire's capital, Spirit City. Most importantly, there was the addition of those six Title Douluos. If it weren't for the timely arrival of Haotian and Xiaotian Douluos, our situation today would likely have been very dire." The titled Douluo mentioned above should be the elders of their Spirit Empire's Hall of Elders, the most powerful titled Douluo within that hall, each possessing a spirit power exceeding level ninety-five. We were already inferior in overall spirit master strength, and this makes the gap even wider. However, if King Lan Hao can recover, we are not without a fighting chance. But to easily breach Jialing Pass as we did at the start of today's battle will likely be very difficult. Moreover, today's battle inflicted heavy losses on our army; from my personal perspective, I suggest we take a break for now.”

"Although the Spirit Empire's top-tier spirit masters have greatly increased, the recent major battles have taken a heavy toll on their overall strength, especially the damage to the Jialing Pass walls and the number of their soldiers killed. They certainly won't dare to easily leave their stronghold to fight us head-on; they'll most likely choose to focus on defense and hold us back. And the way the Tang family army attacked by flying today will be difficult to replicate if the enemy is prepared."

Avalanche nodded. "Marshal Goron, what's your opinion?"

Marshal Ge Long said, "The Grand Preceptor is right. It's impossible for us to break through Jialing Pass at the moment. The army needs rest and recuperation. Moreover, the number of Soul Masters in our army is far too different from the enemy's, making a siege extremely disadvantageous. We will only have a chance if we can lure the enemy out of the pass for a direct confrontation. My suggestion is to strengthen our defenses, allow our troops to rest and recuperate, and be wary of night raids by the Jialing Pass garrison. We should plan everything carefully. At the same time, we should send messengers to the Star Luo Empire, urging them to engage the Spirit Empire in battle as soon as possible. Currently, the Spirit Empire's main force of Soul Masters is drawn to Jialing Pass. If they can put some pressure on the Spirit Empire, we will have a better chance."

Xue Beng frowned slightly, his gaze finally settling on Tang San. "Teacher, do you have any good ideas?"

Tang San shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Marshal Ge Long and Master are right. We absolutely cannot rush things now. To break through Jialing Pass, we must first deal with the six elders of the Spirit Empire. Moreover, their strongest elder, Qian Daoliu, has not yet appeared. Based on what we know, Qian Daoliu's strength should be above Bibi Dong's. If he arrives as well, our situation will be very dire. At the Title Douluo level, numbers are no longer enough to defeat them."

Tang Xiao smiled slightly and said, "If Qian Daoliu really comes, then he's in your hands. As for the other six elders, Hao Di and I can at least keep them from threatening the army if we join forces. But if we attack the city, it will be very difficult. After all, we have too few soul masters."

Xue Beng said, "If only there were more of that red light that Master's wife emitted today."

Tang San shook his head and said, "To be honest, Your Majesty, the weapon Xiao Wu used on the battlefield today was the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus, the most powerful hidden weapon of our Tang Clan. I drew the blueprints and had it crafted by the master craftsman Lou Gao. Senior Lou Gao spent five years of his life, even sacrificing his own life to consecrate it, and only three Buddha's Fury Tang Lotuses were obtained in total. In a small-scale battle, I was even confident that I could use it to threaten the lives of a Title Douluo, but there are only two left, which is not enough to change the situation on the battlefield. No matter how powerful the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus is, its killing range is limited. As for how to break through Jialing Pass, there seems to be only one way at present."

This last sentence drew everyone's attention to him.
