Douluo: Martial Soul Ghost Emperor of the Wedding Dress, All Spirit Beasts Sacrifice

Chapter 21 Dragon Phoenix Absolute Chant

In Holy Soul Village, a reeking, alcohol-soaked Tang Hao kicked open the door.

He lay drunkenly on the bed, the stench of sweat practically pickling the wooden planks.

Tang San, who had been fast asleep, felt as if he were being crushed by a phantom weight.

Pinned down by the sweat-drenched Tang Hao, he couldn't muster any strength, struggling in vain to rise.

"Dad..."

Tang San's short legs kicked incessantly, his face turning flushed from the lack of oxygen.

Just as Tang San felt he was about to suffocate, Tang Hao suddenly opened his eyes, his once-cloudy gaze turning sharp.

He stood up, hitched his pants, and glanced at the exhausted Tang San.

Tang Hao was stunned for a moment.

Then, he walked out of the room.

High above Holy Soul Village, Ye Yuan'er flew by with a swagger.

Sensing an aura pursuing her, she felt a trace of worry beneath her cloak, though the corners of her mouth curled upward.

I hope Su Wen succeeds!

"Trying to run!"

Tang Hao gave chase, clutching his Clear Sky Hammer.

He never expected that Spirit Hall would be able to track him to such a remote, impoverished place.

He had to kill her, no matter what.

If she escaped, she would inevitably bring the powerhouses of Spirit Hall back with her.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Tang Hao gripped his Clear Sky Hammer, and nine spirit rings rose from beneath his feet in sequence.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.

When the ninth spirit ring appeared, the full might of a Titled Douluo erupted.

Tang Hao accelerated, and just as he was about to catch up to Ye Lingyuan, he swung the Clear Sky Hammer down heavily toward her.

Ye Yuan'er had never intended to run; if she didn't exchange a few blows, it would surely arouse his suspicion.

With a thunderous roar, as her nine spirit rings manifested, her seventh spirit ring lit up instantly.

A powerful aura radiated from Ye Yuan'er's body.

Tang Hao was startled for a split second upon seeing her red spirit ring.

But the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired; as the hammer fell, it struck into the flames, which scattered instantly before rapidly condensing. With the cry of a phoenix, a Fire Phoenix soared out from the fire.

As the phoenix spread its wings, the violent force of the tornado it whipped up sent Tang Hao flying back a hundred meters.

"Who are you?"

After steadying himself in mid-air, Tang Hao looked at her in astonishment.

A Fire Phoenix spirit!

Spirit Hall had never seen this person before, let alone a Titled Douluo who possessed a red spirit ring just like his own.

"And who are you?"

Ye Yuan'er transformed back into her human form, still clad in her cloak, with only flames visible dancing in her pupils.

Her hood obscured her figure, and a mask hid her face.

"Playing god, take off your hood!"

Tang Hao could no longer afford to care; it didn't matter if she was from Spirit Hall or not.

Since she had seen his Clear Sky Hammer, she would soon guess his identity, which would inevitably bring Spirit Hall down upon him.

"Heh, you're courting death!"

Ye Yuan'er shouted angrily and instantly engaged him in battle.

She adopted a diversionary tactic, trying her best to lead the fight away from Holy Soul Village.

On the other side.

Su Wen sensed the sounds of battle and quickly headed toward the back mountain of Holy Soul Village.

He remembered that Tang Hao had hidden the Blue Silver Emperor and the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone in a cave behind a waterfall.

The location of the water flow was easy to find.

Su Wen arrived at the base of the waterfall and, with a flick of his hand, a red oil-paper umbrella appeared in his palm.

As the red umbrella opened, a puff of red smoke drifted out from within.

"Hongdou, lift me up and send me into the cave inside."

The Ghost Bride floated before Su Wen, clutching a nether-colored iron chain, her entire being radiating an eerie chill.

As the first soul ring beneath her feet lit up, the chain grew rapidly and coiled around Su Wen's waist. The flames that could ignite anything showed no reaction when they touched him; the chain gently lifted him and sent him into the cave.

The Ghost Bride transformed into a wisp of smoke and drifted back into the red oil-paper umbrella.

The damp cave was extremely dim.

Only a small hole allowed a sliver of light to shine in from the outside.

The light fell precisely upon a Blue Silver Grass in the center of the cave.

Su Wen walked forward and discovered that this Blue Silver Grass was slightly different from those outside; there were golden veins on the inner side of its blades, and a faint aura of life circled around it.

"This must be the Blue Silver Emperor!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how curious. For a plant to be grown in a place like this, where it only touches light for a brief moment at sunset—it's a good thing it's the Blue Silver Emperor. If it were ordinary Blue Silver Grass, it would have withered long ago."

"I truly wonder if Tang Hao planted you here hoping you would recover to the hundred-thousand-year level, or if he didn't want you to recover at all."

As Su Wen muttered to himself, his eyes kept scanning the surroundings.

The soul bone of the Blue Silver Emperor should be nearby.

Tang Hao had not absorbed it.

That was entirely because he was already at full capacity for soul bones.

Su Wen called Hongdou out to help him search.

When Hongdou appeared, the leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor visibly shrank.

"Yo, it still has consciousness. Is this an instinctual reaction, or the consciousness of the Blue Silver Emperor?"

Su Wen reached out to tug at the Blue Silver Emperor, and the latter immediately whipped its leaves against the back of his hand.

Su Wen simply pulled it out from the ground, roots and all.

The Blue Silver Emperor struggled violently, its leaves flapping incessantly.

But it appeared quite powerless.

Su Wen stuffed the Blue Silver Emperor into his Soul Tool, and Hongdou floated over holding a lead box.

Su Wen's eyes lit up, and he opened the box impatiently.

Inside lay a soul bone, blue-gold in its entirety.

It radiated a powerful aura of life.

"The hundred-thousand-year soul bone is mine. Let's go, Hongdou."

Just as Su Wen turned to leave, he suddenly thought of something.

He took a pre-prepared Blue Silver Grass from his Soul Tool, planted it in the spot where the Blue Silver Emperor had just been, and restored the surrounding area to its original state.

The soul bone was taken, and the lead box was placed back in its original position.

If this Blue Silver Grass could fool Tang Hao, that would be for the best; if it couldn't, Su Wen wouldn't be losing anything either.

Leaving the cave, Su Wen sped away, using his fastest speed to put distance between himself and Holy Soul Village.

Hongdou, dressed in her blood-red wedding gown, floated behind him, looking incredibly eerie.

At this moment, Tang Hao was still locked in a struggle with Ye Yuan'er.

As Ye Yuan'er's sixth soul ring shone, a massive phantom of a Fire Phoenix appeared above Tang Hao's head, and the phoenix spat out a pillar of flame.

As its wings flapped, it whipped up tornadoes, creating a sea of high-temperature fire around them at a terrifying speed.

"Luan Pi Feng Hammer!"

Tang Hao swung his Clear Sky Hammer left and right, using the momentum to deflect the force, scattering the tornadoes and the incoming pillar of flame the moment they struck. Each blow was stronger than the last.

Ye Yuan'er already felt that the time agreed upon with Su Wen had arrived.

But she worried that the time wasn't enough, so she had remained entangled with Tang Hao for another half an incense stick's worth of time without leaving.

Watching Tang Hao grow more valiant with every strike, the caution in Ye Yuan'er's heart grew increasingly severe.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Dragon Phoenix Absolute Chant!"

As Ye Yuan'er's red soul ring flashed, a violent flame suddenly rose, forming a Fire Phoenix that blotted out the sky, with the phantom of a fire dragon entwined around its body.

With the appearance of the Fire Phoenix, the sky was filled with burning red clouds. The domineering, violent, and cruel aura emanating from the phoenix swept across the heavens and earth.

The Fire Phoenix spread its wings and soared, turning everything in its path into a sea of fire.

It let out a phoenix cry toward Tang Hao, its phoenix eyes burning with a flame of mutual destruction and a readiness to die.

"Ring Detonation!"
