Treatment, Xilan

"Second Soul Skill, Fire Cage."

A cage of fire suddenly appeared around Ye Xilan, trapping her firmly in place.

Anxiously, she abruptly looked up and saw a proud woman standing with her arms crossed, staring at her with a cold snort.

In the distance, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who had just unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, looked over with slightly pale faces.

The pressure of three Titled Douluo immediately bore down on her, forcing her Martial Soul back.

Especially Spirit Kite Douluo. She had just expended most of her Soul Power to successfully unleash her Ninth Soul Skill and kill Tang Hao.

Seeing Ye Xilan actually trying to ruin her greatest achievement by healing Tang Hao,

her gaze turned especially icy.

With a cold snort, she used Fire Cage to trap Ye Xilan in place. Once she had suppressed her so completely that she could not move,

she turned excitedly toward Tang Hao, who lay at the bottom of the crater.

The greatest achievement!

As long as she returned now with Tang Hao's head, the next Martial Soul Bone Armor Avatar slot would definitely be hers.

And not just her—the distant Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who had just used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill and consumed a great deal of Soul Power, were moved as well.

The two of them looked toward Spirit Kite Douluo at the same time.

In the sky, even the torrential rain seemed to pause for an instant. Inside the Fire Cage, Ye Xilan's unwillingness gradually settled into calm, then clarity.

Looking at the Fire Cage trapping her, Ye Xilan took a deep breath.

Although this Fire Cage had been released by a Titled Douluo, it was only a hundred-year Soul Ring skill.

Any Soul King could use a Soul Skill to break free.

But not a healing-type Soul Fighting Master.

She did not possess a single offensive skill. Her strength was even weaker than that of a Soul Ancestor.

Let alone a Soul King.

So,

Sunflower Manual.

At the instant when even the air seemed to freeze, a faint, pure radiance quietly assimilated the surrounding Fire Cage.

Begonias bloomed, and petals fell.

Spirit Kite Douluo, who had been staring down Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others from above, reacted instantly. She gave an angry cry, "You're courting death!"

Her Fourth Soul Skill activated, and a fiery spear formed entirely from flames instantly condensed above Ye Xilan.

"Fire Spirit Overlord Spear!"

The spear descended. Ye Xilan let out a muffled groan as the Fire Spirit Overlord Spear pierced through her body and pinned her to the ground. The Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul in her hand was forced to disperse as well.

Yet the chill in Spirit Kite Douluo's heart had not faded, and a sharp glint of frost flashed through her eyes.

"Enough!"

"Cut off Tang Hao's head first."

In the distance, Chrysanthemum Douluo, whose Soul Power had been greatly depleted, frowned and stopped her from venting further.

Healing-type Soul Masters were already rare. Soul Masters with group healing as powerful as the Nine Heart Begonia's were even rarer.

They were practically one of a kind.

Whether for their own future need for healing after injuries or because the Holy Son and Holy Maiden desired healing-type Soul Masters, Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke up to stop her.

Spirit Kite Douluo snorted coldly, but she knew the priorities. Icy-faced, she pulled the Fire Spirit Overlord Spear from Ye Xilan's body.

Then her figure flashed, and she arrived before Tang Hao, who lay at the bottom of the crater nearby.

Looking at Tang Hao's battered, burned body, Spirit Kite Douluo gave a disdainful laugh.

She raised her hand and chopped toward Tang Hao's neck.

Clang!

The Fire Spirit Overlord Spear collided with the Clear Sky Hammer, and Spirit Kite Douluo's face filled with shock.

Tang Hao silently stared at Spirit Kite Douluo. The fingernail-sized piece of Essence Gold hidden in his hand was still fusing with his body, repairing his injuries.

The charred skin gradually cracked and fell away, revealing fair skin underneath.

Seeing this, Spirit Kite Douluo cried out,

"Impossible! That amount of healing couldn't possibly bring you back to life!"

She refused to believe Tang Hao could simply come back to life like this!

But in the next instant, her body flashed as she retreated toward Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Seeing this, Tang Hao took a deep breath and directly opened his mouth, swallowing the unfinished piece of Essence Gold in his hand.

That amount of healing truly could not save him.

But it had at least given him some ability to move, allowing him to take out this piece of Essence Gold and fuse it into his body.

It was just a pity that Ye Xilan had bought too little time.

Moreover, the immense vitality contained within this piece of Essence Gold obtained from Dugu Aotian exceeded his expectations.

He would likely need quite some time to fully fuse with this piece of Essence Gold.

Still, it was enough for now.

Six Soul Rings slowly unfurled, and a terrifying aura once more pressed down upon everyone!

Clear Sky Hammer, Soul Ring Riot.

Tang Hao's gaze was cold as the aura of Explode Ring faintly emerged once again.

On the lake, the terrified Spirit Kite Douluo leaped four or five hundred meters away. Seeing this scene, her heart trembled.

She hurriedly looked toward Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

But Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo both wore terrifyingly grim expressions. After staring at Spirit Kite Douluo for a long while, they snorted coldly,

then issued the order for everyone to retreat, their tone full of disappointment.

Spirit Kite Douluo was stunned, then her face flushed red as her clenched fists cracked loudly.

Clearly, if she had not been so arrogant and looked down on Ye Xilan,

this situation would never have happened.

Even when Tang Hao had opened his eyes, if she had attacked with all her strength instead of leaping hundreds of meters away in fright,

they would not have needed to retreat.

But now,

all of them had consumed too much Soul Power.

Because of their earlier Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo did not even have enough Soul Power left to unleash the Eighth Soul Skill once.

Spirit Kite Douluo was even worse. As a level ninety-two Titled Douluo, after releasing such a powerful Ninth Soul Skill,

she could not even maintain her Martial Soul Avatar, let alone use the Eighth Soul Skill.

They knew Tang Hao was definitely putting on a show and might only have one final dying strike left.

But who would dare provoke the dying strike of a level ninety-five Clear Sky Douluo?

If Spirit Kite Douluo had still been standing before Tang Hao from the start, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo could have risked their lives.

They could have drained the last trace of Soul Power in their bodies to unleash the Two Poles Stillness Domain.

But,

this damn pig of a teammate!

How had she even cultivated to become a Titled Douluo?

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo glared at Spirit Kite Douluo coldly for a while, then snorted at Tang Hao and waved for all the Black Clothed Soul Saints to retreat.

Before long, the people of Spirit Hall withdrew from Lake Heart Island like a receding tide.

Seeing this, the people of Begonia Pavilion on Lake Heart Island all breathed a sigh of relief. Their bodies went limp as they sat on the ground, gasping for air, looking as though they had survived a calamity.

As for Ye Xilan, after seeing the people from Spirit Hall retreat, the heart she had been holding tight finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face.

Tap!

A tall figure suddenly blocked her from view, cutting the pouring rain in two.

Noticing that the rain had been blocked, she raised her head in confusion.

Half a length of intestines hung from the tall figure's abdomen. He grinned at her and said, "Xilan, heal me."
