Tang Hao Battles Qian Daoliu
Behind Qian Daoliu were four enshrined figures: the Level 98 Golden Crocodile Douluo, the level 97 Mighty Lion Douluo, the level 96 Qian Jun Douluo, and the Demon Subduing Douluo.
The four stood in a row, Soul Rings activated: two yellow, two purple, and five black. Among them, Golden Crocodile Douluo's ninth Soul Ring was a red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
The combined pressure of the five individuals resembled an invisible dark cloud, slowly pressing down towards Heaven Dou City.
The oppressive aura was so strong that the faces of the ordinary soldiers on the city wall turned pale, and some could not even stand steadily, only able to maintain their upright position by holding onto the battlements.
Above the area of Heaven Dou City, Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, and Dugu Bo also stood suspended in mid-air.
At this moment, Tang Hao's Soul Power had broken through to Level 98, Tang Xiao's had broken through to level 97, Sword Douluo was level 97, Bone Douluo level 95, Dugu Bo was level 95.
Their Soul Rings were also fully activated, and the five people's auras intertwined, forming an invisible barrier in the air.
The pressure from both sides collided in the air, producing a muffled buzzing sound, like two invisible clouds pressing against each other, even causing the light in the air to distort slightly.
On the walls of Heaven Dou City, the soldiers were pale-faced, some even unable to stand steadily, only able to maintain their upright posture by holding onto the battlements.
Qian Daoliu's gaze fell on Tang Hao, his tone carrying an undeniable air of command, "The Spirit Hall Empire is unstoppable, and the Heaven Dou Empire is doomed. Surrender, and I can guarantee your lives."
Tang Hao gripped the Clear Sky Hammer tightly, his face ashen. "Qian Daoliu, do you think we'd believe you? Surrender? I, Tang Hao, haven't even learned how to write those two words in my entire life."
Tang Xiao, standing to the side, also held the Haotian Hammer, his voice steady. "Now that the Haotian Sect has emerged from seclusion, there's no reason for them to retreat. If they want to destroy Tiandou, they'll have to get past me first."
Qian Daoliu frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure.
He truly did not want to destroy the Heaven Dou Empire, because the real Heaven Dou Emperor was actually his granddaughter Qian Renxue.
But at this moment, Qian Renxue is imprisoned by Bibi Dong, which is a weakness that Qian Daoliu cannot ignore, and it is also the reason why he has to stand here.
Qian Daoliu calm on the surface, but a thorn remained firmly in his heart.
He had no choice.
What Bibi Dong truly wanted was for Qian Daoliu's Worship Hall and the resistance forces of the Heaven Dou Empire to wear each other down, ideally resulting in mutual destruction.
A hint of helplessness flashed across Qian Daoliu as he slowly raised his right hand. "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Before he finished speaking, he had already disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, a golden light pierced the sky, and Qian Daoliu appeared in front of Tang Hao, holding a longsword formed from Angel Holy Light.
The sword was entirely golden, its surface shimmering with a blazing, pure light. The surrounding air distorted slightly under the sword's glow, as if it were being baked by a high temperature.
Tang Hao's pupils contracted sharply, but his movements were swift. Clear Sky Hammer with all his might, colliding head-on with the lightsaber.
"Boom!!"
With a loud bang, the shockwave spread outwards, shattering a large portion of the clouds above the two people.
Tang Hao took a few steps back, but Qian Daoliu remained motionless.
Even though Tang Hao had reached Level 98, the power of Level 99 Peerless Douluo was still an insurmountable gap.
The battle erupted in full force at that moment.
Tang Xiao encountered the Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's Martial Soul is the Golden Crocodile King. Not only does his Soul Power reach Level 98, but he also possesses a 100,000-year ninth Soul Ring.
He held a very high seniority in the Spirit Hall, even the Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu was considered his junior, and his status in the entire Spirit Hall was extremely respected.
When the Golden Crocodile Douluo's Martial Soul Possession, the phantom of an ancient Ferocious Beast appeared behind him, its huge golden crocodile mouth opening wide, its fangs menacing.
Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer collided with the giant jaws of the Golden Crocodile, producing a dull thud. The hammerhead struck the edge of the crocodile's mouth, sending up a string of golden sparks.
Although Tang Xiao's Soul Power Level and Soul Ring Configuration were inferior to Golden Crocodile Douluo's, he was still able to contend with his opponent thanks to the power of his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul and the exquisite Clear Sky Nine Absolutes.
The two were evenly matched, and it was difficult to determine who was better at the moment.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Mighty Lion Douluo were locked in battle.
Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword transformed into a snow-white sword shadow, like a silent storm enveloping the Mighty Lion Douluo.
Chen Xin would occasionally recite a few lines of poetry, displaying a rather flamboyant manner.
His swordsmanship was extremely fierce, and each strike precisely targeted the Mighty Lion Douluo's weak points in defense.
Mighty Lion Douluo's Martial Soul is the Blazing Lion, which is extremely powerful in both strength and defense. Every time he throws a punch, he leaves a golden trail in the air, making Chen Xin's sword shadow buzz.
Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword has high attack power, and the Mighty Lion Douluo's Martial Soul is not inferior in quality.
Moreover, both of them were level 97, and their fight was evenly matched.
Bone Douluo Gu Rong, faced Qian Jun Douluo.
The Qian Jun Douluo's Martial Soul is a heavy Coiling Dragon Staff, a top-tier weapon Martial Soul comparable to the Clear Sky Hammer. Each swing of the Coiling Dragon Staff can generate a gust of wind, and when it hits the ground, it creates a large crater.
Gu Rong's Bone Dragon Martial Soul is known for its defensive capabilities. Although Qian Jun Douluo's Soul Power is one level higher than his, Gu Rong is able to barely hold off Qian Jun Douluo because Ning Fengzhi Gu Rong constantly providing him with amplification from behind.
Dugu Bo faced the Demon Subduing Douluo.
Demon Subduing Douluo and Qian Jun Douluo are twin brothers, and their Martial Soul is also the Coiling Dragon Staff.
The Jade Phosphorous Earth Dragon's claws and poisonous mist clashed fiercely with the Demon Subduing Douluo's Coiling Dragon Staff, but the Demon Subduing Douluo's attack power was extremely strong, making it difficult for Dugu Bo's poison to take effect.
Moreover, the two are at a level apart in terms of Soul Power, Dugu Bo at a clear disadvantage.
In an instant, the sky Heaven Dou City was illuminated by the colorful glow of Soul Skills.
Golden Angel Holy Light, black Clear Sky Hammer shadow, white sword light, golden crocodile shadow, crimson Lion phantom, cyan dragon claw, purple Coiling Dragon Staff shadow...
Lights of various colors intertwined, exploding overhead like an out-of-control fireworks display.
The roar made the ground tremble slightly.
On the walls of Heaven Dou City, soldiers looked up at the figures colliding and intersecting in the sky, their hearts filled with tension and unease.
Tang Hao's Divine Slaughter's Domain clashed fiercely with Qian Daoliu's Angel Domain, making their battle the most intense on the battlefield. Each clash distorted and disrupted the surrounding space.
With ordinary Soul Skills, Tang Hao could only barely hold his own, and he had no way to deal with Qian Daoliu at all.
He had no choice but to unleash the Great Sumeru Hammer Ring Detonation, repeatedly blasting open the Soul Rings to push the power of the Clear Sky Hammer to its limit.
The various colored Soul Rings turned gold, then shattered in his hand, transforming into golden light that merged into the hammer. Each Ring Detonation caused his aura to surge.
The air exploded wherever the hammer passed, and even Qian Daoliu had to temporarily avoid its edge.
However, Qian Daoliu quickly regained the upper hand.
He was Level 99 Peerless Douluo. Although the Ring Detonation temporarily raised Tang Hao's strength to the same level as his own, he still steadily suppressed every attack from Tang Hao with his god-level Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel, and his own foundation as a veteran Peerless Douluo.
