Chapter 256: Elder Tang's Sneak Attack
Then, Bai Yu narrowed his eyes, and the spirit power within him burst forth instantly. A cracking sound echoed as the cracks on the long blade grew, until it shattered with a loud bang.
“Boom!”
The intense explosion directly sent the Clear Sky Hammer and Tang Xiao, who was behind it, flying, while also blasting Bai Yu away.
However, since this was a spirit power explosion he controlled himself, and he had condensed a water phase in advance for defense, he did not suffer any damage.
But as Bai Yu retreated, his pupils suddenly constricted. He then directly entered his Creation Form, while raising his left hand to protect his head.
“Ninth Spirit Ability, Mountain Splitting Hammer!”
“Old dog of the Clear Sky Sect, you seek death!”
“How dare that old dog! To dare to sneak attack from behind! If anything happens to the Spirit Hall Saint Child, Spirit Hall will surely purge the Clear Sky Sect, leaving no one alive!”
As Bai Yu and Tang Xiao were forced back by the shockwave, the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect suddenly flashed a fierce light in his eyes and rushed towards Bai Yu with a ferocious expression.
Even though the intense explosion caused him to spit blood, it still did not hinder his steps.
The Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect's only thought at this moment was to kill Bai Yu. Although he knew that killing Bai Yu would not benefit the Clear Sky Sect, and might even lead to its destruction, he still couldn't control himself.
He was afraid. Bai Yu's strength terrified him and left him without hope.
So he wanted to kill Bai Yu. As long as he could kill Bai Yu, he didn't care about anything else. It could be said that this Seventh Elder had gone a little mad.
When the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect rushed over, Bone Douluo, Dugu Bo, and the four from Spirit Hall naturally saw it.
But at this moment, even if they wanted to stop him, it was too late. Even if Bone Douluo crossed space and sent Tang Lao Qi flying, that hammer still struck Bai Yu.
After being struck by the Clear Sky Hammer, Bai Yu's body, just like Tang Lao Qi's before, plunged vertically downwards, directly embedding itself into the ground.
The six Title Douluo on the Heaven Dou side no longer had the time to bother with Tang Lao Qi, who had been sent flying by Bone Douluo.
They all rushed anxiously towards the spot where Bai Yu had fallen, praying internally that nothing had happened to Bai Yu.
If something had really happened, their ashes would be scattered.
But before they could even land, an extreme spirit power pressure, accompanied by killing intent, erupted, enveloping an area of several miles around.
“Heh heh, good, very good! It seems I've truly been slacking off these past two years.”
“Before, apart from being ambushed a few times when I first went out for training, I've never suffered such a loss since.”
“Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, thanks to you this time, you've reminded me of the taste of being on the brink of death.”
Bone Douluo and the other five stopped their movements, their eyes filled with shock as they looked ahead, because as the voice sounded, Bai Yu flew up again.
However, his appearance had drastically changed. His silver long hair and pupils, combined with the circlet on his forehead and the intricate lines around his eyes, gave Bai Yu a cold yet mysterious aura.
At the same time, his clothes had transformed into a luxurious silver ceremonial robe adorned with golden patterns. On his back, to the left and right, were two clusters of light, occasionally transforming into profound eyes and at other times into silver light wings.
But this Bai Yu, radiating nobility and sacredness, had one significantly discordant feature: his left arm.
Bai Yu was right when he said he had slacked off these past two years. During his fight with Tang Xiao, he hadn't paid attention to his surroundings.
Therefore, he was caught off guard by the sneak attack from the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, unable to defend in time. He was struck on his left arm by a hammer, resulting in broken bones and a twisted, bent left arm.
However, Bai Yu ignored the injury to his left arm. Instead, his gaze shifted to Tang Lao Qi, who was spitting blood after taking a full-force blow from Bone Douluo.
Then he raised his right hand, and the Four Symbols elements rapidly condensed, as he softly spoke:
“Four Symbols Infinite Seal”
“Wait, Saint Child Bai Yu, this is a misunderstanding! Seventh Elder didn't do it on purpose, please listen to me and temporarily hold your hand!”
Just as Bai Yu was about to make his move, Tang Xiao, who had been sent flying by the explosion, finally flew back and stood in front of the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, speaking with an anxious tone.
Tang Xiao was so furious at this moment that his lungs felt like they would explode. To be honest, if Tang Lao Qi wasn't a member of his Clear Sky Sect, he would have wanted to smash him with a hammer himself.
Was the Spirit Hall Saint Child so easy to kill? With Bai Yu's talent and his position in Spirit Hall, he was probably no less important than the Supreme Pontiff.
If he were to die at the hands of the Clear Sky Sect, it would be another catastrophe for the Clear Sky Sect, possibly even leading to Spirit Hall launching an all-out attack to exterminate the Clear Sky Sect.
After all, they killed their Supreme Pontiff last time, and now they're killing their Saint Child? Are they really not taking the continent's number one power seriously?
So, when Tang Xiao saw Tang Lao Qi make his move, he was absolutely frantic, wishing he could swap places with Bai Yu and take that hammer blow for him.
Hearing Tang Xiao's words, Bai Yu's movements didn't stop, and he spoke indifferently:
“There is no misunderstanding. However, even if there were, it wouldn't matter. In consideration of him giving me a reminder, he struck me with a hammer, and I will return him a seal. Whether he lives or dies depends on his own ability.”
“Of course, if anyone is willing to block it with him, that's fine too. But if they die then, don't blame it on me.”
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, he flipped his hand and pressed it downwards. A mountain-like, four-colored great seal appeared above Tang Xiao and Tang Lao Qi's heads. Its powerful suppressive force made it extremely difficult for them to even move.
Bai Yu's attack was fully intended to kill Tang Lao Qi, holding nothing back.
In fact, seeing Tang Xiao block in front of him, he even took advantage of the time he was speaking to gather more power, aiming for a single decisive blow.
Although Tang Lao Qi had given him a reminder and reignited his vigilance, the fact remained that he had almost been killed.
If he didn't retaliate against Tang Lao Qi, Bai Yu felt that the anger in his heart would simply not be able to be released.
After all, apart from being ambushed twice and almost dying in his first year out, not even a mouse had ever put him in such a predicament.
A mere Tang Lao Qi had put him in mortal danger. If he didn't kill him, Bai Yu felt he wouldn't be able to sleep for several days!
The moment Tang Xiao saw the great seal, his heart thumped, and then his eyes widened with fury, feeling his death omen star flashing.
When he saw Bai Yu transform earlier, he already knew that the Saint Child's strength was unfathomable.
But he never expected that he might not even be able to withstand a single move!
How could Tang Xiao accept this? He immediately swung his Clear Sky Hammer with all his might, while shouting:
“Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, quickly come and lend us a hand!”
Hearing Tang Xiao's call, the Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, despite their eyes twitching wildly under Bai Yu's might, still rushed over, intending to combine their strength with Tang Xiao and the others to shatter this great seal.
