Douluo Continent: Kunxu Descends, Second-Player Players Are Stunned

Chapter 59 A Plot to Deceive Poseidon: Poseidon Island

"How come it's so fast?"

Tang Zhen's expression changed, becoming rather ugly, even ferocious.

The Po clan rebelled.

The remaining members of the affiliated families were severely injured and completely lost their fighting ability.

To cover everyone's escape, the Grand Elder chose to burn himself, detonating in the face of battle.

The Sixth Elder's martial spirit was imprisoned, and he was also seriously injured, making him practically useless.

Including the Fourth Elder who died earlier, the Clear Sky Sect only has four Soul Douluos left who can fight: the Second Elder, the Third Elder, the Fifth Elder, and the Seventh Elder.

Although her father was a peerless Douluo, he was restrained by the Sea Dragon God and unable to participate in the melee.

He is the only Title Douluo in the Haotian Sect.

Before the great war that destroyed the sect, even if he wanted to coast through and survive, no one would allow him to do so.

In contrast, Seagod Island has a full six Title Douluos at their peak!

Five against six — how can you fight like that?

Are they fleeing for their lives?

Tang Xun stepped forward and took the letters from each sect. The contents were all the same: help was welcome, but money was required.

It's so reasonable that it's impossible to refute.

On this continent, it's normal to spend gold soul coins to ask someone to deliver something, and to pay someone to help defeat the soul masters of Seagod Island.

"Sect Master, please reply quickly!"

"They took advantage of our vulnerability, and you actually want me to let those bandits plunder the Haotian Sect's wealth! Are you planning to betray the sect?"

With the label of betraying the sect attached to him, Tang Xun instantly fell silent, though his gaze toward Tang Zhen held a hint of disdain.

They say losing money is the best way to avoid disaster, but at this point, he's still clinging to that little bit of money!

Tang Zhen's gaze towards Tang Xun also carried a hint of hostility. Hao'er was the young sect leader appointed by his father, and he had to build a foundation for his son.

"The Haotian Sect doesn't belong to just one person. If we want these people to lend a hand, each branch must contribute, and even the disciples from the side branches must pay! I've already incurred favors by asking for their help; shouldn't they contribute something too?"

Tang Zhen spoke with such conviction that he nearly made Tang Xun's nose crooked with anger—wasn't he urging the sect leader to quickly seek outside help precisely because he hoped the sect leader would take out his own money to save the sect? If he was going to spend his own money, why didn't he hire people himself?

Giving money to the sect leader to hire people would just leave us owing him a favor.

Tang Zhen and Tang Chen are truly father and son; their meticulous and calculating natures are inherited from each other!

Tang Xun couldn't be bothered with him. As a representative of the Haotian Sect attending the sect meeting, he had his own channels for seeking help. Wasn't it just a matter of paying money to avoid trouble? I could do that too! Why should I owe you a favor? I could even get others to do it with me!

In the future, one of my grandsons, great-grandsons, and great-great-grandsons may emerge with extraordinary talent. Based on the good karma we have built today, the position of the future sect leader of the Haotian Sect may very well fall to my lineage!

Thinking it over, Tang Xun waved his hand: "I'm dreaming. There are some influential people in the alliance. As the saying goes, even if you don't respect the monk, you should still respect the Buddha. Based on our years of friendship, they wouldn't mistreat me!"

"Well—" Before he could finish his "freebie" part, Tang Xun anticipated Tang Zhen's words and added a note to his boast, "Unfortunately, I am but a nobody. I can protect myself, but saving the sect is nothing short of a pipe dream."

Tang Xun patted Tang Zhen on the shoulder, and words of flattery slipped out: "The old sect leader chose you to be the sect leader because he believed in your ability to turn the tide and save the collapsing empire."

What a joke! He's not the sect leader, he hasn't enjoyed any of the benefits of being the sect leader, so why should he fulfill the duties of the sect leader?

If Tang Zhen is willing to exchange his share of the profits for his own, Tang Xun will not ask for more, just twenty years. He will definitely find a way to help Haotian Sect overcome this crisis.

Tang Zhen laughed in anger.

good good!

These incompetent people, when the Haotian Sect was at its peak, only wanted to leech off others and gain more benefits for themselves.

When the sect fell into decline, they only cared about protecting themselves and never thought about the sect's interests.

How hateful!

This brat has already found a way to die!

It seems we have no choice but to use that plan!

Xiao'er, please forgive your father's ruthlessness. Hao'er is the future of the Haotian Sect!

On Haotianping, war drums thundered.

The vanguard of Poseidon Island had already rushed up the stone steps, their azure soul power surging upwards like a rising tide along the spine of the nine hundred and ninety-nine azure dragons. Their footsteps trod over the hammer-shaped stone carvings, over the millennia-old platform paved with star-patterned steel rocks, shattering the dignity of the Clear Sky Sect that had been unchallenged for hundreds of years.

"Hold Haotianping!"

Tang Xiao's roar pierced the sky.

-

He now has broad shoulders and a thick back, and his brows already bear the resolute look of his father. He grips a Haotian Hammer and resolutely charges to the forefront.

"Everyone, follow me to the enemy!"

Tang Xiao took a step forward, and a standard soul ring configuration of "yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black" fell from the sky. The aura of a peak Soul King was like a tiger released from its cage, pressing down on the sea soul masters around him and making them gasp for breath.

Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his hammer, creating a dull, thunderous sound.

The hammer hadn't even struck yet, but the energy had already arrived.

The Sea Soul Master at the forefront, who was also a Soul King, used his Water Splitting Halberd to block. The halberd shaft bent into a full moon, and he was sent flying backward, knocking over three of his companions behind him.

"Tang Xiao! It's Tang Xiao!" Someone in the vanguard of Poseidon Island recognized him.

According to the intelligence gathered on Poseidon Island, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao are known as the "Twin Stars of Haotian".

A twenty-year-old at the peak of the Soul King realm would be considered a dazzling genius in any power.

"Brothers, kill him!"

"If Tang Xiao falls, the Haotian Sect will have no future!"

Another wave of Sea Soul Masters surged in, this time in well-coordinated three-person teams, two spearmen and one shieldman, charging in a triangular formation.

Instead of retreating, Tang Xiao advanced, swinging his heavy hammer in a wide arc. The first blow shattered the shield, and the second deflected the two spears.

He sidestepped, raised his leg, and kicked the Soul Master whose shield was already shattered off the stone steps, sending him tumbling and crashing down on a group of people. The heavy hammer landed, sending stone chips flying. He stood at the edge of Haotianping, with the Haotian Sect's battle flag fluttering in the wind behind him.

After the brief victory, Tang Xiao immediately tried to boost morale: "Disciples of the Haotian Sect, tell them where this place is."

The silence lasted only a moment.

"It's the Haotian Sect—!"

The response from the Sea Soul Master was a deafening roar. Dozens of Clear Sky Sect disciples surged forth from his side, wielding heavy black iron hammers...

The Xuan Steel Giant Hammer, the Meteorite Iron Mountain-Splitting Hammer, and all sorts of hammer-type martial spirits and standard heavy weapons were raised simultaneously, their spirit rings forming a colorful wall of light, crashing into the blue tide.

This is not a clash of soul skills.

The distance was too close, the pace too fast, there was no time to build up strength, and no space to maneuver.

It is a clash between soul power and soul power.

It was a clash between flesh and steel.

Every inch of the star-patterned steel rock on Haotianping was trembling—a tremor of life and death unlike anything seen on the training ground in thousands of years.

When a disciple of the Haotian Sect had his Xuan Tie hammer pierced by a sea spear, he abandoned his hammer, rushed forward, grabbed the sea spear, and used his body to press down on the shaft, creating a moment of respite for his companion.

His companion slammed down with a heavy hammer, shattering the Sea Soul Master's helmet and knocking him unconscious. Meanwhile, the disciple who was clutching the Sea Spear had blood streaming down his shoulder, but he grinned, even though his teeth were filled with blood.

As the Sea Maiden Douluo observed the battle, seeing one Sea Soul Master after another fall and the Haotian Sect disciples fighting to the death, her heart grew heavy.

She wasn't a bloodthirsty person. Most of the fallen disciples didn't have the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul and were willing to risk their lives for this sect.

Her hatred was directed only at those who possessed the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.

But now, apart from Tang Xiao and a few other disciples of the Clear Sky Sect, she can hardly see anyone else with the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul on the battlefield!

"Hai Wang, here's the situation on your side."

"Sea Maiden, we're attacking the main hall, but I haven't seen the Contra mentioned in the intelligence, and Big Brother hasn't found Tang Chen either."

"How is that possible?"

In a flash, the female diver realized an extremely absurd and cruel truth.

Openly repair the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass!

The Haotian Sect sent Tang Xiao to lead a group of Tang family disciples in a bloody battle, seemingly determined to fight to the death, but in reality, they had already redeployed their main force!

The Clear Sky Sect has a strong foundation. Even if a Title Douluo from Seagod Island wants to find someone of equal strength within the Clear Sky Sect to defeat those Soul Douluos, he has to worry about the sect plotting against him in secret.

It was this "empty city stratagem" that caused Poseidon Island to waste too much manpower and time.

The Sea Maiden Douluo's expression turned cold, and without hesitation, she flew into the battlefield and captured Tang Xiao.

To catch the thief, first catch the king!

Do they really think that retreating to a dangerous place will give the Haotian Sect a chance to survive?
