Douluo: Martial Soul Mysterious Tortoise, Counterattack Armor Critical Strike

Boroga's expression hardened. The God Realm had rules forbidding them from interfering to help.

But for the sake of his performance reward, just giving a little assistance should not be too much of a problem...

As long as he covered his tracks cleanly and erased everything properly, no one in the God Realm would notice. Besides, after the God Realm meeting, those people had dispersed. The higher-ups also had matters to deal with, and they did not seem minor. They definitely would not be paying attention to what was happening here right now.

He clenched his fist, his expression turning ruthless. He decided to take a small gamble and save Tang Hao from Golden Crocodile first.

Otherwise, Tang Hao would certainly die!

If Tang Hao died, it would trigger enormous chain reactions later on.

That would be extremely disadvantageous to him.

He admitted that he had selfish motives.

But the God Realm was also a place governed by personal connections and worldly dealings.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "I'm doing it!"

At this moment, he was even more anxious than Tang Hao.

After weighing it again and again, he still decided to go through with it.

So at that moment, he secretly made his move.

A force burrowed toward the bodies of those Spirit Hall Douluo.

"At the very least, I'll temporarily balance things out for you. Since I can't strengthen Tang Hao, I can only restrict you a little."

Outside Spirit Hall at that moment.

"Die, all of you!!!"

Tang Hao's eyes were blood-red. His furious roar tore through the heavens as he swung the Great Sumeru Hammer, empowered by seven consecutive Ring Explosions, with one hand and smashed it directly at Golden Crocodile.

Layer upon layer of power had been compressed to the extreme, producing violent sonic booms.

The scene was like the wrath of heaven, utterly terrifying.

Even Golden Crocodile's earlier smile vanished when he saw this. Faced with Tang Hao's mad, life-risking sevenfold Ring Explosion, he finally became somewhat serious.

"All of you, move aside!" Golden Crocodile shouted gravely at the others.

He hurriedly put away the Soul Bone he had just acquired.

Then he unleashed his Eighth Soul Skill, Primordial Crocodile King Evil!

In an instant, countless phantoms of the Golden Crocodile King appeared. They launched wide-area attacks that tore apart their targets. Every Crocodile King possessed eighty percent of the original body's strength, grew fiercer the longer it fought, and would self-destruct after absorbing a certain amount of power, causing widespread damage.

Hearing this, the other Douluo were about to leave when their expressions suddenly changed drastically.

They discovered that they could not move, as though some mysterious force had entered their bodies.

"Damn it, why haven't you left yet?!" Golden Crocodile's expression changed.

He was about to move, but he discovered that he could not move either!

"Hm?!!"

Just as Golden Crocodile's expression shifted drastically, the Golden Crocodile Kings constantly colliding with Tang Hao condensed terrifying power, then exploded once more amid the already horrifying explosion.

"Not good, defend yourselves!" Golden Crocodile's expression changed drastically. He finally understood why the others had not left. It was not that they refused to leave—they could not move!

No one discovered the cause.

But Tang Hao was stunned as well, because he discovered that his attack had exploded ahead of time!

It seemed as though something was manipulating it.

A Sudden Accident

Terrifying power exploded.

For a brief instant, the sonic blast from the explosion directed at those Douluo seemed to be amplified.

This was fucking targeted.

At that moment, they all panicked. Fortunately, they could still mobilize their Soul Power and use Soul Skills.

Without the slightest hesitation, they all used their Martial Soul Avatars to defend themselves.

The instant they unleashed them, they were hit.

Every Douluo felt that terrifying might and was blasted away.

The abnormal condition affecting them vanished completely at that moment.

"Ah—!"

Rumble rumble rumble!!!!—

The overwhelming, terrifying explosion created waves of terrifying sonic force that continued spreading outward. The violent aftershock obliterated every wall around the outskirts of Spirit City. Some guards standing watch at the outermost perimeter instantly exploded into bloody pulp.

The outer walls were reduced to fragments. Some people who had not managed to escape in time were caught in the blast and died as well.

It had happened too suddenly, too quickly.

The people within the city were thrown into panic.

Outside, a massive explosion rose into the sky, forming an enormous mushroom cloud.

Like the detonation of a hydrogen bomb, it produced a mushroom cloud that blotted out the sky.

Outside the city, Huang Wei, who was condensing an energy Rasengan, also changed expression upon seeing this.

"How did this happen? With so many people attacking, this shouldn't have happened!"

"This aftershock—quickly move the people on the outskirts into the Middle Area!"

Huang Wei urgently ordered Salas. As the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, he naturally had to care for the citizens of Spirit City.

Salas, who was feeling somewhat weak in the knees, hurriedly nodded. "Yes!"

Although Huang Wei's astonishing defensive power had frightened him, regardless, the current matter was far more serious.

They immediately sprang into action, gathering high-level defensive, healing, and support Soul Masters to act together.

The aftershock had not stopped. It was still continuing.

However, at this critical moment, a massive statue of a Six-winged Angel rose within Spirit City, towering into the heavens. Then, a Barrier of dazzling golden light, like a blazing sun, instantly enveloped the entirety of Spirit City.

In a single instant, it blocked the terrifying impact rushing toward them.

Bang bang bang!!!...

Buzzz...!!!

The impacts continuously struck the protective shield formed by the Celestial Master's Golden Light, producing repeated, resounding crashes and hums.

Seeing this, Huang Wei knew that Qian Daoliu had taken action. After all, this was Spirit City, one of his possessions. He could not possibly stand by and watch it be destroyed.

Perhaps even he had failed to react in time just now. He had not expected a clash between merely Tang Hao and Golden Crocodile's attacks to produce such overwhelming power.

It was truly strange.

Everyone else in Spirit City also heaved a huge sigh of relief.

"Tang Hao's path is entirely one of extreme burst power—one force breaking through ten thousand techniques. But why is this power so abnormal? It is even greater than expected. Impossible. I know Golden Crocodile's strength better than anyone. He clearly held an absolutely crushing advantage just now, so why did such a huge accident occur?"

"He truly could not understand it..."

"No matter what, this is not something I wish to see. Anything that threatens Spirit Hall must die!!"

Within the main hall of the Six-winged Angel Worship, the Demi-God Great Worship Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back, taking in every movement outside. His calm expression was no longer calm, replaced by shock. At the same time, he became even more determined to eradicate Tang Hao completely. Cold killing intent flickered in his eyes.

First, to recover Spirit Hall's dignity.

Second, to eliminate a future danger capable of bringing Spirit Hall to ruin by himself.

He could already sense a threat from Tang Hao.

Although that danger was extremely faint.

But one must not forget that behind him stood the Clear Sky Sect. Though the Clear Sky Sect had publicly severed ties with him, expelled him from the Sect, and withdrawn from the world, all of that was merely on the surface. As for what lay beneath, he could not be certain.

Of course, he was not afraid either. After all, if the Clear Sky Sect had truly been powerful, then when Spirit Hall had hunted Tang Hao and sought to destroy the Clear Sky Sect, the Sect would not have chosen to sever ties with Tang Hao and hide from the world. They would have come out and fought directly.

Tang Chen's disappearance had played a part in that, but the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect was Tang Hao's biological older brother, Tang Xiao!

Others might ignore Tang Hao, but Tang Xiao definitely would not!

Outside.

The smoke soon dispersed.

Everything was laid bare.

An entire forest had been destroyed, with trees collapsed everywhere and the land reduced to a complete mess.

At the same time, all the Douluo apart from Golden Crocodile had been smashed into the ground.

Their Martial Soul Avatars had shattered completely.

They could not understand why something so absurd had happened.

But it had happened.

Tang Hao, meanwhile, fell from the sky.

However, he still had a faint breath left.

The others who had been caught in the blast all coughed up blood.

Golden Crocodile, who had been at the core of the explosion, had his true form shattered as well and spat out a mouthful of blood.

But he had suffered no other major injuries.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kill him!" Golden Crocodile said coldly, looking toward Tang Hao.

Killing Intent burst forth.

The others wiped the blood from their mouths, clutched their abdomens, and forced themselves to stand before walking toward Tang Hao.

Suddenly, a voice rang beside Golden Crocodile's ear. "Bring him to see me."

Golden Crocodile immediately paused and shouted, "Wait! The Great Worship has ordered that he be captured alive!"

"After such a massive explosion, there's no way he could still be alive, right?"

Ghost Leopard, Sea Turtle, and Magic Bear walked straight toward Tang Hao, filled with hatred for him.

If not for him, they would not have suffered such severe injuries.

The cultivation levels of the three of them were the lowest among this group, only around Level 92 and Level 93.

If they had joined forces against Tang Hao when he had first arrived, they would not have stood the slightest chance.

But now, looking at Tang Hao lying there like a dead dog, satisfied smiles appeared on their faces.

To their surprise—

"This fellow is quite tenacious. He's still alive. He still has a faint breath."

"What a pity. The Great Worship wants to see you. Otherwise, we would personally finish you off right now!"

Ghost Leopard, Sea Turtle, and Magic Bear said.

At this moment, Tang Hao's right arm had been smashed apart, as had both of his lower legs. His entire body was a bloody blur. He was truly in a miserable state.

The three worked together to send a sealing mark into his body.

Then they carried him up.

"I didn't expect this Tang Hao to have more than one Soul Bone!"

Seeing the two glowing Soul Bones on the ground, Golden Crocodile was immediately astonished.

He then took them and quickly placed them into his Soul Tool.

"I will hand over these three Soul Bones later and let the Great Worship decide," he said.

The others all nodded, having no objections.

"Return! Take him back!" Golden Crocodile waved his hand.
