Death would always be one step behind me

"Experience death?"

"Never!"

Bai Wanwan stood up from the ground, pulled the Reverse Wave Dragon Spine Spear out of the ground with a forceful pull, and pointed the spear tip at Tang Hao in front of her.

"Because death always comes one step behind me!"

"Xiong Jun, when are you going to come out?"

A clear, melodious voice, like that of a nightingale, echoed all around.

Bang~

A figure descended from mid-air, blocking Bai Wanwan's path.

"I thought you were going to have a one-on-one fight with him."

A somewhat rough voice came from Xiong Jun's mouth.

Standing at approximately 2.4 meters tall, with a very robust physique and bulging muscles, Xiong Jun watched Tang Hao slowly approach, briefly flexed his wrists, and prepared for battle.

Although he was somewhat unaccustomed to his human form, dealing with Tang Hao in front of him was more than enough.

"Whether you fight one or two, it's the same."

Tang Hao's eyes turned red, filled with Sisi hint of killing intent. He raised the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, carrying immense power and a howling wind, and pressed down on Xiong Jun.

Xiong Jun clenched his right fist and faced Tang Hao directly.

Bang~

The fist and the Clear Sky Hammer collided, unleashing a torrent of power. The force condensed into a vortex that spread outwards.

With a loud bang.

Xiong Jun's fist deflected the Clear Sky Hammer, and his figure rapidly approached Tang Hao. Tang Hao was not to be outdone, constantly swinging the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, each swing unleashing his full power.

Zhu Zhuqing watched the battle between Xiong Jun and Tang Hao, then looked at Bai Wanwan standing behind them, holding the Reverse Wave Dragon Spine Spear.

A feeling inexplicably arose in my heart.

I felt that Bai Wanwan was really cool just now.

Most importantly, Bai Wanwan seemed to have taken Tang Hao's angry attack unscathed.

No one in the younger generation can surpass him.

This statement is absolutely true and without any exaggeration.

"Are you... are you alright?"

Zhu Zhuqing quickened her pace and came to Bai Wanwan's side, asking softly.

What could possibly be wrong with me?

"The formidable Battle Soul Hammer, the majestic Clear Sky Sect, and the mere Tang Hao —his attacks are weak and feeble, like someone who hasn't eaten. To withstand his attacks is merely a matter of casual conversation."

Bai Wanwan planted the Reverse Wave Dragon Spine Spear in the ground, leaned her back against the Reverse Wave Dragon Spine Spear, slightly bending the shaft, crossed her arms, and adopted a nonchalant demeanor.

Yes, the pain is temporary, and the injury can heal, but being handsome lasts a lifetime.

Injuries are acceptable, blood may flow, but style and class are absolutely essential.

"Waaah~"

"Ouch, that hurts, you bastard!"

"It would be great if my sister could come to Suotuo City too. I could snuggle in her arms and enjoy her warmth and comfort."

Bai Wanwan thought to herself silently, but on the surface she didn't reveal it at all.

If only I could do it again!

She absolutely had to get Xiong Jun out first, and then provoke Tang Hao.

As Zhu Zhuqing listened to Bai Wanwan's words and saw Bai Wanwan's calm and composed demeanor, her opinion of Bai Wanwan quietly rose several notches.

The battle between Tang Hao and Xiong Jun continues.

Each collision between the two showcased their ultimate power to the fullest extent.

However, since Xiong Jun's strength was already greater than Tang Hao's, and Tang Hao had a chronic injury that prevented him from exerting his full strength under normal circumstances, the balance of the battle gradually tilted in Xiong Jun's favor.

With a single sweeping strike, Xiong Jun knocked Tang Hao back. Just as he was about to press his advantage, he saw Tang Hao's seventh Spirit Ring begin to flash rapidly.

"Haotian True Body!"

The Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's hand grew to resemble a small mountain. His muscles bulged, and a Hundred-Year Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly exploded, transforming into pure energy that merged into the Clear Sky Hammer, further enhancing its power.

The Clear Sky Hammer was raised high and pressed down on Xiong Jun.

Seeing the Clear Sky Hammer hurtling towards him, Xiong Jun neither dodged nor evaded, but faced it head-on.

"Dark Gold Terror Claw!"

Golden light appeared on Xiong Jun's hand, and terrifying tearing force erupted from it.

Boom~

A loud bang came from mid-air.

The Clear Sky Hammer, the size of a small mountain, slammed into Xiong Jun's hand, preventing Xiong Jun from retreating even an inch. Xiong Jun exerted force with his arm, and golden light streaked through the air. The terrifying explosive force and tearing power slowly pressed the Clear Sky Hammer down.

With a bang.

Tang Hao's figure flew backward and crashed to the ground, the immense force causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the ground.

Lifting himself from the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood, Tang Hao took a deep breath and raised the Clear Sky Hammer again.

One yellow and two purple Spirit Ring exploded one after another, transforming into pure power that pressed down on Xiong Jun.

"Drink!"

A furious roar came from Tang Hao's mouth.

Xiong Jun continued to advance instead of retreating, his arm radiating golden light once more as it clashed with Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer.

In an instant, a strong wind howled in mid-air, energy fluctuations spread wildly, and a constant booming sound arose.

He destroyed two more Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, but still couldn't reverse the tide. Tang Hao, who was always at a disadvantage, retreated a distance without making a sound after dodging Xiong Jun's attack, and looked in Bai Wanwan's direction.

Xiong Jun's attacks came one after another, but Tang Hao made no attempt to dodge. The two Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring under his feet exploded, turning into pure energy that merged into the Clear Sky Hammer.

Without hesitation, Clear Sky Hammer slammed down.

But this time, he didn't smash Xiong Jun, but Bai Wanwan and Zhu Zhuqing, who were further away.

He's gambling!

Xiong Jun will go to rescue Bai Wanwan.

He won the gamble, and while Xiong Jun was shielding Bai Wanwan from the attack, he could retreat immediately.

If he loses the bet, he'll trade his injuries for lives, using his own wounds to save Bai Wanwan and Zhu Zhuqing's lives. Finally, he'll destroy the 100,000 Year Spirit Ring and find a chance to escape.

Damn it!

Bai Wanwan watched the Clear Sky Hammer hurtling towards her, then with a backhand motion, she drew the Reverse Wave Dragon Spine Spear. The Azure Dragon Heart Crown shimmered with a faint light, and the power of Water Element rapidly gathered in front of her, forming a blue barrier.

"Insidious."

Xiong Jun cursed under his breath, then turned around without hesitation and headed towards Bai Wanwan.

His main purpose in leaving the Star Dou Great Forest was to protect Bai Wanwan.

If Bai Wanwan were to be seriously injured in front of him, his Master would likely skin him alive after they returned to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Xiong Jun didn't even dare to imagine the consequences if Bai Wanwan were to perish.

He couldn't even imagine how furious his Master would be when the Water Dragon King, one of the Nine Dragon Kings, fell before his very eyes.

Just as the Clear Sky Hammer was about to reach Bai Wanwan, Xiong Jun appeared on Bai Wanwan's body and blocked the Clear Sky Hammer.

The powerful shockwave transformed into a gale, causing Bai Wanwan's hair and skirt to flutter wildly, and stirring up clouds of dust.

The smoke and dust cleared.

Xiong Jun stood unharmed in front of Bai Wanwan, glancing around but Tang Hao was nowhere to be seen.
