Tang Hao Battles Ao Zhan

Facing such a fierce attack, Ao Zhan used the same trick again, evading with the power of space.

Boom!!!

The attack caused an enormous commotion. The instant the Clear Sky Hammer fell, the ground collapsed, and the surrounding trees were snapped in half at their waists by the shockwave.

Ao Zhan suddenly appeared behind Tang Hao's head and sent him flying again with a kick.

Tang Hao staggered to his feet, his gaze vicious. "You have no martial virtue!"

"Oh? How have I lacked martial virtue?"

"When facing my attacks, you actually shamelessly dodged! And you still call yourself the War God! How utterly shameless!"

Although Tang Hao's words sounded like the outburst of someone humiliated into anger, they were actually a provocation.

He had realized that unless he could restrict Ao Zhan's spatial power, no matter how many methods he had, they would be useless if he could not hit his enemy. Besides, speed had never been his strength. Once the other side started kiting him, he would easily be forced into a disadvantageous position.

That was why he said this—to provoke Ao Zhan into confronting him head-on.

Ao Zhan could not help but sneer at Tang Hao's words. "Tang Hao, do you think I'm an idiot? Why would I abandon my advantage to clash head-on with you? Do you think you're the protagonist? That everyone has to act according to your wishes? Don't make me laugh!"

Tang Hao's heart immediately sank. If this fellow refused to take the bait, there was truly nothing he could do against his spatial power. He might not even be able to escape.

"But since you claim that my title as War God is undeserved, then I must teach you a profound lesson! Let you know that the War God cannot be insulted!"

Ao Zhan's words gave Tang Hao hope again. He believed that Ao Zhan was about to fight him head-on.

Roar!!!

The Azure Dragon Martial Soul appeared and roared toward the heavens. In an instant, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and violent winds rose. Terrifying dragon might swept across the land, even stirring the beings hidden beneath a certain lake.

"That terrifying dragon might again!"

A colossal creature hidden in the shadows opened its eyes, its pupils golden.

Its body trembled slightly. As a member of the Dragon Clan, it suffered the greatest suppression from dragon might!

"This dragon might has already surpassed the Dragon God, hasn't it?! What kind of existence is that?!" it could not help but ask inwardly, but unfortunately, no one could answer its question.

"Di Tian, he is not in Spirit City right now. Take this, and use this chance to bring him back without fail!" A cold voice rang out. Then, a silver-white dragon scale radiating seven-colored light appeared before the shadow.

The shadow put away the dragon scale and answered respectfully, "This subordinate accepts the order!"

Meanwhile, on Ao Zhan's side.

Azure Dragon Armor appeared over Ao Zhan's body, making him look like a War God.

The next second, he moved. Before Tang Hao could react at all, Ao Zhan appeared before him in the blink of an eye. Soul Power gathered, and he threw a punch, sending Tang Hao flying.

Countless bolts of azure lightning descended from the sky, transforming into lightning spears that rained down.

Tang Hao hurriedly steadied himself and swung the Clear Sky Hammer, repeatedly smashing the lightning spears.

Boom!!!

The lightning spears exploded, and countless bolts of azure lightning intertwined like a spiderweb. Tang Hao was inevitably struck, his limbs going numb for an instant.

"Qingming Art!"

Azure light flashed in Ao Zhan's hand as he fired an azure beam straight into Tang Hao's body.

Pfft!!!

Tang Hao was blasted away again by the attack, several of his bones breaking.

However, with the Asura God secretly helping him, Tang Hao's injuries soon healed.

Seeing Tang Hao rise once more, Ao Zhan was not surprised. He had long noticed a stream of life energy constantly emerging from Tang Hao's Divine Slaughter's Domain and flowing into his body.

The only one capable of doing this was the Asura God. In other words, the Asura God had already noticed him.

Yet Ao Zhan was utterly fearless. His progress over the past four years could not be measured by common sense. If that fellow, the Asura God, wanted to enter the fray personally, then he should not blame Ao Zhan for having no martial virtue!

"Ah—!!!"

Tang Hao roared toward the sky. His clothes whipped in the wind as overwhelming bloody light erupted from his body, and boundless power surged within him.

The Clear Sky Hammer burst with dazzling blood-red radiance, overflowing with killing intent.

Azure lightning gathered madly in Ao Zhan's hand, while countless bolts of Azure Divine Lightning descended from the heavens.

The lightning compressed and converged. In the end, all that endless Azure Divine Lightning condensed into a single azure lightning spear. The spear glimmered with azure light, all the lightning in the sky compressed within it without the slightest leakage, containing terrifying power.

It also contained the profound meaning of the Thunderbolt Art—body and spirit as one, strike a single point!

Ao Zhan was confident that if a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast took this blow, even if it did not die, it would be gravely wounded.

"Die!!!"

Tang Hao roared and swung down the Clear Sky Hammer. A flash of fighting spirit crossed Ao Zhan's eyes as he spun the Azure Thunder Spear in his hand and charged to meet it.

Boom!!!

A terrifying shockwave swept in every direction. Tang Hao and Ao Zhan both felt immense force transmitted into their hands.

"Ah—!!!" Tang Hao roared, pouring Soul Power frantically into the Clear Sky Hammer. Its radiance grew even brighter, and the pressure Ao Zhan felt increased sharply.

Roar!!!

The Azure Dragon Martial Soul appeared behind Ao Zhan and roared at Tang Hao. Terrifying dragon might came crashing down like Mount Tai, causing Tang Hao's mind to waver.

"Hmph! Body and spirit as one, strike a single point!"

A glint flashed through Ao Zhan's eyes as all his Soul Power converged at the tip of the Azure Thunder Spear.

"Break the surface with a point!"

Seizing the opportunity, Ao Zhan used the Azure Thunder Spear to break the surface with a single point, directly piercing through the Clear Sky Hammer!

With his martial soul damaged, Tang Hao's body shook, and he spat out a huge mouthful of blood.

Ao Zhan pressed his advantage, leaping into the air as all his Soul Power gathered in his right leg. His right leg immediately shone with azure light. With one kick, Tang Hao was sent flying, his bones shattered by the blow.

Unfortunately, under the effects of the life energy and Asura Divine Power infused by the Asura God, Tang Hao's bones healed, and his martial soul recovered as well.

But this time, the Asura God had no intention of letting Tang Hao continue fighting.

Perhaps it was merely the Asura God's illusion, but he found that Ao Zhan, this unforeseen variable outside the plan, seemed far stronger in momentum than before the battle. After using so many techniques just now, his Soul Power showed no signs of depletion. He remained spirited and vigorous, as though he grew more energized and stronger the longer he fought.

This discovery shocked the Asura God. Instinctively, he did not want to believe it. How could something so unreasonable possibly happen?

Even the War God of the God Realm merely grew braver in battle. That only increased his own ferocity; his divine power itself could not increase during combat.

But Ao Zhan had come from another world after all, so he could not be judged by the laws of this world.

Therefore, the Asura God no longer wanted Tang Hao to continue fighting. In any case, this encounter had already tested some of Ao Zhan's abilities, as well as that azure dragon.

With the objective achieved, it was time to retreat.
