Tang Hao vs. Chen Xin! Turning Against Each Other! A Treasure Becomes a Crime!

In the image, an old man with a full head of white hair but a vigorous spirit stood proudly in the void.

Behind him, the phantom of a massive Golden Crocodile roared at the sky, its nine soul rings pulsing as it radiated a fierce aura from the ancient past.

This was the Second Worship of Martial Soul Hall.

In terms of strength, he was second only to a Peerless Douluo.

Outside Jialing Pass.

Bibi Dong, who had been feeling depressed due to repeated setbacks, finally revealed her first smile in days.

"Good!"

"It is finally our Martial Soul Hall's turn."

"Golden Crocodile's strength is profound; there will surely be a great reward for making the list this time."

Bibi Dong turned her head to look at Gui Mei beside her.

"Pass down the order."

"Tell Golden Crocodile he does not need to return to Martial Soul City."

"Since Xue'er and that girl Shui Bing'er are going to Skywater City, let Golden Crocodile escort them personally."

"By the way, let that person in Skywater City see that my Martial Soul Hall is not without talent!"

A hundred miles outside Skywater City.

A desolate valley.

This was the only way to reach Skywater City.

A white streak of sword light tore through the sky like a meteor.

It was Chen Xin, rushing over at full speed.

His speed was immense, and the longing for the sword path in his heart made him wish he could fly to Neuvillette the very next second.

But just as he was about to fly over this valley.

A terrifying sense of crisis instantly enveloped his entire body.

"Who is it!"

Chen Xin shouted explosively, and the Seven Kill God Sword in his hand unsheathed in an instant.

Hum—

The space vibrated.

A massive hammer, black as ink, smashed out from the void without any warning.

The hammer was too large.

It blotted out the sky and sun.

Wrapped in red killing intent, just a single glance made one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Chen Xin."

"Since you've come, stay here."

An aged yet domineering voice rang out.

Tang Hao, draped in a tattered black robe, stood in front of Chen Xin like a demon god.

Chen Xin halted his movement, looking at the obstacle before him, but there was not much surprise in his eyes.

Only a sense of sorrow, as if he had expected this all along.

"Tang Hao."

"It really is you."

Chen Xin gripped the sword in his hand tightly.

"It seems Tang San has no intention of letting this old bag of bones go."

Tang Hao remained expressionless, his eyes filled with the vicissitudes of life, containing only cold killing intent.

"Little San is kind-hearted and remembers old ties, so he finds it difficult to lay a hand on you."

"But as his father, I must help him clear the path."

"You hold the Seven Kill God Sword; if you were to defect to someone else, it would be too great a threat to Little San."

"Chen Xin, for the sake of our past friendship."

"Hand over the sword in your hand and cripple your own martial soul."

"I can leave your corpse intact."

This was Clear Sky Douluo.

Domineering and unreasonable.

In his eyes, anyone who threatened Tang San had to die.

Chen Xin listened, then laughed in extreme anger.

"Hahahaha!"

"What a fine way to 'clean up the sect'!"

"What a fine way to 'leave a whole corpse'!"

"Tang Hao, do you really think you have me cornered?"

"If it were before, I might have feared your Great Sumeru Hammer a little."

"But now..."

The Seven Kill God Sword in Chen Xin's hand trembled violently.

The new blood-colored pattern upon it lit up.

A heaven-cleaving, earth-destroying divine sword intent soared into the sky.

"Today, I shall use your Clear Sky Hammer to test the sharpness of my Seven Kill God Sword!"

"Fight!"

There was no wasted breath.

The two top-tier assault-type Title Douluo of the current era collided in an instant.

Boom--!

The terrifying fluctuations of soul power leveled the surrounding mountain peaks to the ground.

Ever since Chen Xin's Seven Kill God Sword evolved into a nascent divine artifact, its attack power had surged dramatically.

Every swing of the sword could slice through space, and its innate Seven Kill Absolute Domain could ignore defenses entirely.

If it were an ordinary level 97, they would have been hacked in two by now.

But Tang Hao was different.

Not only did he possess the heaven-defying technique of Ring Detonation.

More importantly, in the previous Power Ranking List rewards, the Clear Sky Sect had also received benefits.

Tang Hao's body had been tempered and was long since comparable to that of a demigod.

"Great Sumeru Hammer!"

Tang Hao let out a furious roar.

The nine soul rings behind him exploded in succession.

That violent power was poured entirely into the Clear Sky Hammer.

One force overcomes ten techniques!

I don't care about your divine sword, and I don't care about your techniques.

I will simply smash you down with a single hammer!

Clang--!

A piercing sound of metal clashing resonated through the heavens.

Chen Xin felt a massive, overwhelming force travel up the blade, shattering the webbing between his thumb and forefinger and causing his internal organs to churn.

After all, he only had one arm.

Furthermore, having just experienced such drastic emotional swings, he was not at his peak.

"Pfft!"

Chen Xin spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward and slamming heavily into the mountainside.

"Hmph."

Tang Hao retracted his hammer, looking down at Chen Xin in the ruins from above.

"All flash and no substance."

"In the face of absolute power, everything else is vanity."

"Chen Xin, it's over."

Tang Hao raised the Clear Sky Hammer once more.

This time, he intended to smash Chen Xin's head directly.

Watching the black hammer grow larger and larger, a flash of despair crossed Chen Xin's eyes.

Could it be...

Is my path in pursuit of the sword going to end here?

I am not reconciled to this!

Just at this critical, life-or-death moment.

"ROAR--!"

A roar filled with wild ferocity suddenly echoed from the distance.

Immediately following.

An incomparably thick giant tail, covered in dense golden scales, swept across the air.

The tail carried the force of ten thousand jun and slammed directly into the Clear Sky Hammer.

BOOM!

The dull sound of the impact sent visible ripples through the air.

Tang Hao felt a massive force strike him; the Clear Sky Hammer in his hands nearly flew from his grip, and he was sent reeling back hundreds of meters.

"Who?!"

Tang Hao's expression changed drastically.

There were only a handful of people in this world capable of taking his Ring Detonation head-on!

The space in front of Chen Xin suddenly twisted.

An old man with a burly, exaggerated physique, clad in golden crocodile armor, slowly stepped out.

His hair was silver, but his muscles bulged like granite.

A pair of murky yet fierce eyes stared fixedly at Tang Hao.

"Little brat Tang Hao."

"It's been so many years, and you still enjoy bullying honest folk?"

"What, seeing that little brother Chen Xin is missing an arm, you think he's easy to push around?"

The person who arrived was none other than the newly ranked Golden Crocodile Douluo!

Behind him, Qian Renxue, Shui Bing'er, and the others landed one after another.

Seeing this scene, killing intent flared in Qian Renxue's eyes.

"Tang Hao!"

Old grudges and new hatreds surged into her heart at this moment.

Golden Crocodile Douluo grinned, revealing a set of stark white teeth.

"I happen to be itching for a fight, and I want to see if this Clear Sky Douluo is truly as tough as they say!"

Just then.

A beam of light descended once more from the Golden Ranking List in the sky.

The rewards belonging to Golden Crocodile Douluo had arrived!
