170: Chapter 170 Tang Chen, the Difference Between God and Mortal
A few days later, above Spirit City, a stream of light cut across the sky.
"Qian Daoliu! Ji Xuan! Get out here!"
A tall, upright figure hovered high in the air, holding the Clear Sky Hammer, his voice resounding throughout the entire Spirit City.
Countless residents poured out of their homes and looked up.
The next moment, the Seven Great Priests, led by Qian Daoliu, appeared together.
With Ji Xuan's help, the Soul Power of the several Priests had all reached the Peak of the continent, all of them being rank 99 Limit Douluo.
"Tang Chen? You are actually still alive?" Qian Daoliu's pupils constricted slightly, and he said with a hint of surprise.
For so many years, Tang Chen had disappeared without a trace, and he had thought the other party had already fallen; he did not expect to see him again at this moment.
He focused his senses for a moment; Tang Chen was still a Limit Douluo of the same rank as himself and had not yet become a god.
Tang Chen was even more shocked; the aura of the seven people before him was actually on par with his own.
But the hatred for the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect and the tragic death of High Priestess Bo Saixi would not allow him to retreat.
He was able to regain his senses all because of Tang San.
Previously, because Tang San's strength was insufficient and he could not defeat the Slaughter King, he had focused on Cultivate in Slaughter City until he finally succeeded in defeating his opponent recently and obtained the Asura Demon Sword.
And now, Tang San's Seagod's Light was not enough to awaken Tang Chen; it was due to the Sea God's secret intervention that he was able to regain his consciousness.
It was also from Tang San that Tang Chen heard about the tragic state of the Clear Sky Sect and Sea God Island.
He went to both places to verify for himself, and what he saw was exactly as Tang San had described, so he was immediately filled with burning rage and headed straight for Spirit City.
"Qian Daoliu! Have you forgotten the agreement from back then? Why did you destroy the Clear Sky Sect!" The Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Chen's hand trembled slightly, and his eyes widened in anger.
Qian Daoliu's eyes were complex, and his expression was hesitant.
When Ji Xuan first proposed destroying the Clear Sky Sect, he had originally opposed it.
But Ji Xuan's attitude was resolute, and he also thought that Tang Chen might have long since passed away, and coupled with the fact that he would eventually sacrifice himself for Qian Renxue in the future and that Spirit Hall would sooner or later belong to Ji Xuan and Qian Renxue, he stopped obstructing it.
Now that Tang Chen had returned alive, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Just then, Gold Crocodile Douluo stepped forward and snorted coldly: "Tang Chen, it was this old man who led the men to destroy the Clear Sky Sect; it has nothing to do with my big brother! If you want revenge, come at me!"
He knew Qian Daoliu's temperament well, and since it was he who had led the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect, he naturally did not want to make things difficult for Qian Daoliu.
Tang Chen glared at Golden Crocodile, suppressed his anger, and continued to ask Qian Daoliu: "Where is Ji Xuan? He killed High Priestess Bo Saixi, are you aware of this? You also admired her back then, why did you condone him committing such a heinous act!"
Thinking of how High Priestess Bo Saixi had waited for him for so many years, while he had been Parasite by a Spirit Beast during his divine examination and lost consciousness, only to find that they were separated by death when he woke up, Tang Chen's heart felt as if it were being twisted by a knife.
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu also felt a sharp pain in his heart.
But he knew clearly that High Priestess Bo Saixi had once tried to kill Ji Xuan, and since Ji Xuan had already offended the Sea God, High Priestess Bo Saixi would never let Ji Xuan go.
Even though he admired High Priestess Bo Saixi, High Priestess Bo Saixi only had Tang Chen in her heart.
By comparison, he would definitely stand on Ji Xuan's side.
"Tang Chen, things have reached this point, there is no use in saying more." Qian Daoliu said in a deep voice, "Ji Xuan is currently in seclusion; if you want an explanation, I will accompany you to the end."
After he finished speaking, the Seven Great Priests released their Spirits together, and a terrifying pressure shrouded the entire sky above Spirit City.
Tang Chen's expression was extremely grave.
Seven Limit Douluo; such a lineup, even he felt immense pressure.
But once he thought of the deep blood feud of the Clear Sky Sect and the tragic death of High Priestess Bo Saixi, he instantly made up his mind.
Anyway, he didn't have much time left; even if he died together with them today, he would take a few of them down with him!
When his great-grandson Tang San became a god in the future, he could just let him avenge him.
"Qian Daoliu! Today I will surely seek justice for the Clear Sky Sect and for High Priestess Bo Saixi!"
"Ring Explosion!"
With a violent shout, all the spirit rings around Tang Chen exploded, and his terrifying aura climbed crazily, instantly touching the threshold of a god.
"Big brother, let me go and meet him!" Gold Crocodile Douluo rushed out first.
The two of them instantly engaged in battle, air waves rolling above the sky, and the sound of explosions was endless.
The residents in the city saw the battle break out and were immediately terrified.
But just at this moment, a golden barrier instantly covered the entire city, and Qian Renxue's cold, clear voice spread throughout the city: "With me here, you have no need to panic."
As the Angel God, the barrier she had set up was definitely not something that Mortals could shake.
Seeing those air waves constantly bombarding the barrier, the golden barrier remained unmoved.
The residents in the city saw this, gradually calmed down, and felt a few more points of awe for Qian Renxue in their hearts.
The battle in the sky soon came to an end.
Gold Crocodile Douluo, who had consumed an Immortal Plant, had a Spirit that already contained a trace of Dragon blood, and his strength had reached the realm of a semi-god.
Even so, he was ultimately no match for Tang Chen after the Ring Explosion, but he was not defeated miserably, just slightly inferior.
Subsequently, the other several Priests took turns to fight Tang Chen, and although they were all defeated, they also consumed a lot of Tang Chen's strength.
And at this moment, Tang Chen had bloodstains hanging from the corners of his mouth, and his aura was slightly chaotic.
"Qian Daoliu, it's your turn." Tang Chen wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, pointing the Clear Sky Hammer directly at Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu sighed softly, his tone complex: "Tang Chen, you should go."
The agreement back then; he was the one who broke it first, and now taking advantage of someone's precarious position to attack was not his wish.
"Go?" Tang Chen laughed in extreme anger, "You destroyed my Sect, killed my beloved; this hatred is irreconcilable! How could I leave!"
As soon as his voice fell, he lifted the Clear Sky Hammer and used all his strength to smash it towards Qian Daoliu.
"Enough!"
A cold, clear shout came from the palace, carrying the pressure of a god.
Tang Chen's movements suddenly froze, a chill swept through his entire body, and he couldn't even muster a shred of desire to resist.
It was the aura of a god! As a divine examination candidate, he could not be more familiar with this aura.
The next moment, Qian Renxue's figure appeared in the sky.
Divine light flowed around her, the majesty of an emperor and the divine charm of a god intertwined, and the people watching the battle below saw this, involuntarily kneeling on the ground, feeling pious in their hearts.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Except for Qian Daoliu, the other six Priests bowed in salute one after another.
Even though their seniority was higher, Qian Renxue was already a god, and furthermore the Empress of the Spirit Empire, so etiquette could not be abandoned.
"Grandfathers, please rise quickly." Qian Renxue raised her hand, and an invisible force helped them up.
Her gaze locked onto Tang Chen, and she said coldly, "Tang Chen, my grandfather spared your life, but you do not know what is good for you, then don't think about leaving today."
"Grandfather, you all go back first, leave this to me."
Qian Daoliu looked at Tang Chen, sighed softly, and turned to leave with the other Priests.
Matters had reached this point; he had already done everything he could.
Facing a true god, even though Tang Chen could erupt with Divine-Grade combat power, he was definitely not Qian Renxue's opponent.
After just a moment, the battle came to an abrupt end.
Qian Renxue casually removed the several Spirit Bones from Tang Chen's body, ignited Angel flames at her fingertips, turned his body into ashes, and let it drift away with the wind.
A generation of legends fell just like that.
Qian Renxue was expressionless, as if she had just crushed an ant to death.
This was a god; the life and death of Mortals were, to her, nothing more than insignificant dust.
