Battle

BOOM--!

A terrifying pressure descended, and the Shrek group felt as if mountains were pressing down on them, forcing them to their knees.

Flender and the others immediately released their Martial Souls to resist the pressure.

"Why are Titled Douluo arriving so soon?!"

BANG!

A black shadow fell from the sky, landing within Shrek Academy.

"No need to be nervous!"

A weathered voice rang out.

The vast Soul Power slowly receded.

Yu Xiaogang and Tang San looked up in surprise and joy.

"Father!"

"Your Excellency Clear Sky!?"

The person in the black robe walked while removing their cloak, revealing a resolute face.

"Wow!"

The Shrek Seven Devils immediately covered their mouths in excitement.

"It's a living Clear Sky Douluo!!!"

Ma Hongjun and Oscar were so excited they almost died of pleasure.

Unlike the others who were of noble birth, these two had only ever seen Flender and Zhao Wuji as the strongest Soul Masters.

How could they not be excited to see Tang Hao now?

"Thank you all for taking care of Xiao San all these years. The current situation forces him to leave."

Tang Hao's voice was low.

"Father, where are we going?"

Tang San held Xiao Wu, whose body was trembling. "Xiao Wu hasn't hurt anyone."

Although his mother was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Tang San couldn't be sure if Tang Hao was only friendly towards his mother and held hatred towards other Soul Beasts.

"Don't worry!"

Tang Hao waved his hand. "If I had any ill intentions towards Xiao Wu, she wouldn't have stayed by your side."

Upon hearing this, both Xiao Wu and the group felt a sense of relief.

"Enough talk." Tang Hao waved his hand, and a tremendous force swept Tang San and Xiao Wu into the air.

"Your Excellency, where are you taking Xiao San?"

Yu Xiaogang stepped forward to ask.

Tang Hao pondered for a moment and said, "When the storm calms down, I will let him return to Shrek."

After speaking, he sensed something and looked up at the distance. "It seems Martial Soul Hall has come faster than I imagined."

Martial Soul Hall?!

The Shrek group's expressions froze.

If they knew they were involved with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, they would surely be implicated.

For a moment, their faces turned grim.

"Don't worry, I'll send them packing."

Tang Hao snorted coldly, his aura surging as he rapidly flew away from the spot.

When the Heavenly Curtain descended, all spirits were blessed, and his injuries had long since healed. In this world, only a handful of people could fight him.

If it weren't for Martial Soul Hall's Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu making a move, he was confident he could face anyone else.

Moreover, Martial Soul Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire were now at odds, leaving Martial Soul Hall with no time to spare. Qian Daoliu would surely be stationed at Martial Soul Hall to stabilize the situation.

Therefore, the person arriving would definitely be around level 95.

As Tang Hao had predicted, that was indeed the case.

At this moment, in the void a hundred miles away from Shrek, several terrifying figures were stepping through the air. Leading the group from Martial Soul Hall were Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo and Pufferfish Snake Lance Douluo, along with four other Titled Douluo.

On the other side was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with Sword Bone Douluo.

The last group was the Heaven Dou Royal family, led by Dugu Bo.

All three forces sensed each other's presence, but before they could even meet, an even more domineering power emerged from their destination.

"Huh?!"

The expressions of the three parties changed drastically.

"There are still experts?!"

They all stopped in their tracks, because this aura, after sensing their presence, didn't leave but instead charged towards them.

"Who is this person, daring to confront the three great powers?"

Ning Fengzhi was suspicious.

Sword Bone Douluo shook his head, "I can't tell. He seems to be a formidable opponent."

The four Titled Douluo from the Martial Soul Hall exchanged glances. They inexplicably felt the aura was somewhat familiar. Suddenly, Ghostly cried out in terror:

"Not good, it's Tang Hao!!!"

As his voice rang out, everyone present froze.

Tang Hao?!

"Why is he here?!"

Everyone was bewildered.

"It seems some old friends have recognized this seat!"

Tang Hao stepped on the void, his movement technique "Shrinking Ground into an Inch" covering a hundred zhang with each step. With every landing, space trembled, and terrifying waves of energy swept across the heavens and earth, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

A black robe draped over him, his eyes like stars.

Tang Hao raised his hand, and the Clear Sky Hammer appeared.

BOOM--!

His oppressive aura spread like the sea, shaking all directions.

He pointed the Clear Sky Hammer at the three great powers and said, "The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, I'm taking it."

"Who among you opposes, and who seconds?"

His domineering words revealed immense confidence.

Immediately, The three great powers hesitated.

Ju Douluo's face darkened, and he looked at Ning Fengzhi, "Sect Master Ning, may I ask about your sect's stance on the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast..."

"Dad!!!"

Before he could finish, Ning Rongrong's voice came from afar. Several Soul Douluo-level powerhouses were escorting her.

Ning Rongrong said, "Dad, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, Xiao Wu is my good sister. Please don't hurt her! Although she is a Soul Beast, she has never harmed anyone!"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere at the scene shifted again.

The members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect exchanged glances and retracted the words they were about to speak.

Ning Fengzhi chuckled, "My apologies. The Upper Three Sects are united as one... Besides, today, I am merely here to bring my daughter home."

"You!"

The members of the Martial Soul Hall's expressions changed slightly.

Don't look at their four Titled Douluo.

If they were to truly fight Tang Hao, at least one of them would fall.

This was absolutely not something they could afford.

Nor did they dare to gamble.

"Hahaha!"

Tang Hao threw his head back and laughed, "Thank you, Sect Master Ning. I will definitely pay you a visit another day!"

With that, he abruptly turned his head to look at the members of the Martial Soul Hall.

"I was just tricking you. Even if you didn't make a move, I would have made sure you wouldn't leave intact today!"

Tang Hao's nine Soul Rings appeared.

Especially the blood-red ring, which caused everyone's face to change drastically.

"The Martial Soul Hall has slandered my name for many years. Today, I will collect some interest!"

"Watch my hammer!"

BOOM--!

His Martial Soul True Body tore through the sky, crushing space and making heaven and earth tremble.

As the sea of clouds churned, the Clear Sky Hammer descended from the heavens.

"Tang Hao, do you truly think we can't do anything to you?!"

The four Titled Douluo roared at the sky.

Their nine Soul Rings appeared, facing the Clear Sky Hammer without fear.

Myriad ghosts veiled the sky, deathly energy like a sea.

Golden flowers danced, transforming into a torrent of arrows.

Myriad poisons surged like tides, the Pufferfish swallowed the moon.

A spear pierced the world, shattering barriers and transforming into a dragon.

The four Titled Douluo attacked in unison, instantly altering the landscape within a hundred-mile radius, turning heaven and earth upside down.

A giant hammer met the four Soul Skills.

Rumble--!

Its might surpassed the eight directions, rolling shockwaves shook the wilderness. In an instant, the river water vaporized, causing all living beings to wail. The earth cracked like an abyss, swallowing everything. Mountains shattered into stone, splashing brilliant sparks. The surging clouds stirred thunder and rain.

When everything returned to peace.

This world was left with only ruins and the residual scorching heat in the air.

"Your power has recovered?!"

The four Titled Douluo of the Martial Soul Hall roared.

Tang Hao sneered, "Haven't you also broken through your shackles and entered a higher realm? I've merely healed old wounds, what's so surprising?!"

"Tang Hao, our Martial Soul Hall has noted this matter!"

The four Titled Douluo of the Martial Soul Hall retreated.

Tang Hao did not pursue; the previous exchange was merely a probe for both sides.

They probed Tang Hao's strength, while Tang Hao tested his suspicions.

"Hmph!"

Tang Hao didn't want to entangle further and lifted his foot, intending to leave.

Just then--

"Tang Hao, it's been many years, and you're still as arrogant as ever!"

"Today, I shall ask you for a move!"

Buzz--!

To everyone's confusion, a spear pierced the air, smashing towards Tang Hao like a meteor.

That terrifying pressure shattered the Heavenly Curtain, leaving behind a long rainbow.

Everyone felt this pressure, their faces changed drastically. Even Sword Douluo, who had benefited from the Heavenly Curtain's grace and withstood Qian Daoliu's attack, breaking through the shackles of level 97.

A hint of apprehension arose within him.

"How dare you!!!"

Tang Hao showed no fear, activating the Slaughter God's Domain and swinging the Clear Sky Hammer to meet the opponent's attack head-on.

Boom--!

The void trembled, large patches of starlight fell to the mortal realm, igniting the hundred-mile forest.

Looking at Tang Hao, he had already been pushed back a hundred zhang.

"Hiss--!"

Everyone present gasped.

Several Titled Douluo subconsciously blurted out:

"It's him?!"
