Had Ji Xiang not used hidden weapons, things might have been better. But the moment Qian Renxue saw his techniques, she was flooded with memories of her past humiliation—being ambushed by Tang San's hidden weapons.
Naturally, her gaze toward Ji Xiang was filled with murderous intent.
"Run, now!"
Ji Xiang could clearly sense the killing intent emanating from Qian Renxue. But for the sake of giving more Tang Sect disciples a chance to escape, he could only step forward and do everything he could to stall her.
Buzz—
With a flap of the black angel wings behind her, Qian Renxue effortlessly sent the countless silver needles flying away.
"Divine Skill – Shadow Clone!"
But rather than attack Ji Xiang herself, Qian Renxue summoned several shadow clones.
She sent only one of them to handle Ji Xiang, while her true body and other clones descended upon the Tang Sect below.
She had come to destroy the Tang Sect—killing Ji Xiang could wait.
Moreover, she had sensed a trace of Tang San's divine consciousness lingering on Ji Xiang. That only made her more patient.
To force Tang San's divine sense to manifest, she would first slaughter the entire Tang Sect.
She wanted Tang San to watch as everything he had built was destroyed—that would make his rage all the sweeter.
"Damn it!"
"Everyone, get out of here!"
"Speed Clan, take the others and run!"
At that moment, besides Ji Xiang, other high-ranking experts of the Tang Sect also stepped forward to hold Qian Renxue back, buying time for the rest to escape.
Among them were Titan, Niu Gao, and Yang Wudi—all of whom had broken through to Titled Douluo. Bai He, however, had failed to break through. His age and exhausted potential made it impossible.
Yet even if they had all reached Titled Douluo level, they still couldn't stop Qian Renxue.
Pfft—
Niu Gao, renowned for his defense, was the first to fall. Not even his tough body could withstand Qian Renxue's divine power.
He was killed instantly.
"Retreat!"
"Run, now!"
"Tang Sect disciples, scatter!"
The remaining disciples were struck with horror.
They hadn't expected Qian Renxue to launch an assault on their sect, nor that she would display such overwhelming might.
Even a defense-focused Titled Douluo like Niu Gao had been slain in one move. How could they possibly stand up to her?
So they followed the commands of Ji Xiang and the elders without hesitation, fleeing in all directions.
"Fallen Angel Domain!"
Sensing their movement, a cold gleam flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes as black light surged from her body.
The Fallen Angel Domain expanded rapidly and instantly enveloped the entire Tang Sect.
Immediately, all those trying to escape felt their bodies turn unbearably heavy, struggling even to move.
Though her domain wasn't gravity-based, the sheer divine pressure within was enough to suppress the Tang Sect entirely.
Then, Qian Renxue began her massacre.
She already deeply hated Tang San and the Tang Sect he created. When she saw Ji Xiang using Tang San's hidden weapon techniques, her killing intent only intensified.
Now, the entire Tang Sect became her outlet for vengeance.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
One disciple after another fell under her divine assault, dying miserably on the spot.
After Niu Gao, Titan, Yang Wudi, and eventually Bai He also perished by Qian Renxue's hand.
The casualties among the Tang Sect disciples were devastating.
"Stop it!"
"Stop right now!"
Ji Xiang, kept alive intentionally by Qian Renxue, was forced to watch the entire massacre unfold.
That pain—far worse than death.
This was the Tang Sect founded by his master, Tang San.
And now, under his leadership, he had failed to protect it.
How could he ever face his master again?
"Guanyin's Tear!"
Overwhelmed by grief and rage, Ji Xiang unleashed a hidden weapon technique he had not yet fully mastered—Guanyin's Tear.
Tang San had once used this very technique while still only a Titled Douluo to grievously wound Qian Renxue, who had already become a god.
Now, Ji Xiang could only hope that this strike would deal a serious blow to her as well.
Maybe—just maybe—this would be enough to break Qian Renxue's domain and allow some Tang Sect disciples to escape.
Chi——
A milky-white droplet, formed from Ji Xiang's blood essence combined with the water element and refined through the Xuan Tian Technique, was condensed in his palm and fired at Qian Renxue at an unimaginable speed.
That tiny droplet was nearly invisible to the naked eye.
Coupled with its tremendous speed, the sneak attack's effectiveness was at its peak.
"Guanyin's Tear!"
However, having suffered from this very hidden weapon in the past, Qian Renxue immediately recognized Ji Xiang's movements. With a flash of her figure, she narrowly dodged the Guanyin's Tear.
"Tang San actually taught you this hidden weapon skill too?"
"Then you deserve to die even more."
Qian Renxue let out a cold snort as she glared at Ji Xiang.
Shua—
Yet rather than kill him immediately, she once again turned to massacre the Tang Sect disciples below. She still didn't bother to strike Ji Xiang down directly.
No rush. Killing him could wait until the disciples were all dead.
After being sneak attacked by Guanyin's Tear again, the killing intent in Qian Renxue's heart intensified—but she restrained herself.
"Damn it!"
Ji Xiang could only stand there, powerless and enraged.
Having just unleashed Guanyin's Tear, his strength was temporarily drained, leaving him helpless as Qian Renxue slaughtered the Tang Sect.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
One by one, the disciples of Tang Sect were slaughtered before Ji Xiang's eyes. His heart ached as if it were being torn apart, but the despair was even worse.
"Master… I'm sorry…"
"It's my incompetence… I failed to protect the Tang Sect…"
Tears streamed down Ji Xiang's face. After regaining a bit of strength, he began attacking Qian Renxue again.
But Qian Renxue merely let a single shadow clone keep him busy, never bothering to kill him.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
And just like that, under Ji Xiang's horrified gaze, not a single disciple escaped. Every last one was butchered by Qian Renxue.
By now, the entire Tang Sect reeked of blood. Crimson stains covered the ground. The legacy Tang San had built was reduced to a massacre site.
"Why…? Why didn't you just kill me right away?"
Ji Xiang, having witnessed the annihilation of the Tang Sect with his own eyes, finally collapsed to his knees and gave up all resistance.
"Who said I wouldn't kill you?"
"Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish."
Qian Renxue stepped in front of him and let out a faint, mocking smile.
Then, she pressed her longsword against Ji Xiang's neck.
"Go ahead and kill me…"
Ji Xiang offered no resistance. Tears continued to fall down his cheeks.
Pfft—
Qian Renxue didn't hesitate in the slightest. Her sword stabbed forward.
Buzz——
At the moment Ji Xiang's life was in danger, the divine consciousness of Tang San within him was finally activated.
Golden light flared, and Tang San's spiritual figure appeared.
"This is…"
"…Tang Sect?"
When Tang San saw the scene before him, his eyes went blank.
He saw the familiar Tang Sect. He saw many familiar faces—but now, all of them were lying in pools of blood.
