Douluo: Two brothers in douluo (completed)

Dai Mubai's words sent shockwaves through the gathered crowd.

"What do you mean, Tang Hao will only come back in a decade or two?!"

Titan sneered.

"Tang Hao dared to ambush our leader, hoping to kill him before he could grow stronger. What happened instead? He underestimated his target and got himself killed."

Gasps rippled through the crowd. Tang Hao, the legendary Clear Sky Douluo who once grievously wounded a former Spirit Hall Pope, had met his end at the hands of Dai Mubai?

Before anyone could process this revelation, the appointed hour struck.

"The time has come—send the Clear Sky Clan on their way! Attack!"

At Dai Mubai's command, thousands of Spirit Masters surged forward, splitting into two groups—one to assault the mountain, the other to encircle it and prevent any escapes.

When they reached the agreed battleground, however, it was deserted. Tang Xiao and the Clear Sky Clan disciples had retreated to the mountain's summit, cutting the iron chains connecting the peaks to isolate themselves.

The mountain terrain was a natural fortress, with only a few iron chains serving as bridges between the peaks. Cutting these chains rendered the summit nearly impregnable.

Titan growled in frustration. "So much for being the world's number one sect! They didn't even fight and ran away! 'Number one Coward Sect' suits them better!"

The gathered Spirit Masters were equally bewildered. They had expected a fierce battle but found themselves facing an empty field.

"Leader, the Clear Sky Clan has retreated to the summit and severed the chains. Our Spirit Master army can't reach them," Bai He said gravely.

"Only a few agile, flying Spirit Masters could make it, but with their base located at the summit, sending small groups would be sending them to their deaths."

Yang Wudi muttered under his breath, "If we weren't trying to avoid excessive destruction, a fire… ahem… never mind."

Everyone knew what he was implying.

Dai Mubai sighed. If not for the size of their force, the Clear Sky Clan wouldn't have chosen to retreat.

"Looks like I'll have to take care of this myself."

"Leader, you can't!" Titan, Bai He, Niu Gao, and Yang Wudi exclaimed.

Dai Mubai waved them off. "I know my own strength. Tang Xiao and the others can't lay a finger on me. Stay back and reconnect the chains."

Having anticipated this scenario, the Strength Clan had prepared additional iron chains, which their flying Spirit Masters could deliver to the opposing peaks.

Ignoring the protests, Dai Mubai activated his martial spirit.

As his spirit rings emerged—black, black, black, red, black, red, red, red—the gathered Spirit Masters gasped in shock. Seeing the legendary configuration of four black and four red spirit rings up close left them in awe.

His transformation was equally striking. His golden hair turned white, a vertical eye opened at his brow, and a pair of radiant white wings unfurled from his back. With a single flap, Dai Mubai ascended into the sky.

"Leader!" Titan called after him, but Dai Mubai was already flying toward the Clear Sky Clan's true gate.

At the same time, three figures silently followed Dai Mubai—Golden Crocodile Douluo, Thousand Jun Douluo, and Demon Slayer Douluo. Their power allowed them to sustain short bursts of flight.

Chen Xin also joined the pursuit, his sword intent blazing.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged glances, unsure whether to follow.

Dugu Bo, equally hesitant, ultimately decided to stay behind to ensure no one from the Clear Sky Clan escaped.

Moments later, Dai Mubai landed at the Clear Sky Clan's true gate, where over two hundred disciples stood in defensive formation.

"Dai Mubai?!" Lieyang Douluo exclaimed in surprise. He had anticipated many scenarios but hadn't expected Dai Mubai to be the first to reach their gates.

"Lieyang Douluo, it's been a while," Dai Mubai replied calmly.

"As the mastermind behind this attack, I take full responsibility. I am Dai Mubai, leader of the Spirit Hall."

His declaration stunned the Clear Sky disciples.

"So young… and his spirit rings…"

The sight of Dai Mubai's four black and four red spirit rings sent another wave of shock through the gathered disciples.

"Could he have twin martial spirits?" someone whispered.

The Grand Elder stepped forward, his expression grim. "So, you're Dai Mubai. Is this attack because the Clear Sky Clan didn't support your claim to the Star Luo throne?"

"No, this has nothing to do with that," Dai Mubai replied, shaking his head.

He paused briefly before continuing. "I killed Tang Hao."

"What?!"

The declaration was like a bolt of lightning. Tang Hao, the mighty Clear Sky Douluo, had been slain by the young man before them?

"Boy, jokes like that are in poor taste!" Tang Xiao growled, his expression darkening.

Dai Mubai remained unfazed. "I don't joke about such things. If Tang Hao were alive, do you think he wouldn't have returned to protect the clan in its hour of need? Six months ago, I killed him. That's why he's not here today."

His words were a thunderclap, leaving the Clear Sky disciples pale with fear.

"I'll kill you!" Tang Xiao roared, his reason clouded by rage.

The news of Tang Hao's death was like a dagger to the heart, and Tang Xiao could no longer contain his fury.
