The Suppressed Sea Dragon Douluo

The seventh soul ring on Sea Dragon Douluo suddenly lit up, and his deep blue soul power condensed into a massive phantom of a sea dragon, colliding head-on with the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing was deafening, and the resulting shockwave rippled outward, scattering the fallen leaves on the ground for several yards.

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao both retreated three steps, their arms tingling slightly, their hearts filled with secret shock.

The power of this Title Douluo was truly formidable!

Sea Dragon Douluo also nodded to himself.

The Clear Sky Hammer was truly worthy of its reputation as the world's number one tool martial soul; it was no wonder they dared to challenge a Title Douluo even while still at the Soul Douluo level.

"Do you really think you can stop This Seat with just two Soul Douluos?" Sea Dragon Douluo let out a cold snort, his soul power surging once more.

He had not wanted to make an enemy of the Clear Sky Sect, but he had no choice; for the sake of Ye Qing and the future Sea God, he could not let this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast escape.

Murderous intent flared in Tang Hao's eyes, his pitch-black pupils seemingly stained with blood.

To them, regardless of whether Ah Yin was a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast or not, they would never allow anyone to take her away.

If she were not, it would mean the other party was simply trying to suppress the spirit of the Clear Sky Twin Stars.

But if she truly were a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it was even more impossible to let her go.

After all, both brothers were nearing the Title Douluo realm; how could they watch a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone fly away right before their eyes!

That would be a joke.

"If you want to touch Ah Yin, you'll have to get past us first!"

Thinking this, a chilling murderous aura erupted from Tang Hao—it was the Slaughter God's Domain he had recently obtained in the Slaughter City!

Wherever the domain shrouded, the very air seemed to freeze.

Sea Dragon Douluo felt his spirit falter, his cultivation suppressed by a fraction.

"A domain?"

Sea Dragon Douluo understood instantly, his eyes narrowing before he sneered, "A mere parlor trick!"

A pale blue halo lit up around him—his own domain: Demon-Breaking Domain!

The Demon-Breaking Domain possessed no offensive power, but it had a bizarre effect.

As the halo expanded, Tang Hao's Slaughter God's Domain melted away like snow under the sun, and that chilling murderous aura vanished completely.

"What?!" Tang Hao was struck with alarm; he had never seen an ability capable of directly shattering a domain.

Tang Xiao seized the opportunity to swing his hammer, the Clear Sky Hammer striking the flank of Sea Dragon Douluo with the force of a thousand jun.

Tang Hao reacted quickly as well, both hammers swinging in perfect, seamless coordination.

Though Sea Dragon Douluo was besieged by the two, he remained calm and composed.

After all, he was a Title Douluo.

But as time dragged on, a sense of gravity began to rise in his heart.

He had to remember that this was not the ocean, and his water-type soul power was restricted.

The Clear Sky Hammers of these two were incredibly overbearing, and their combined assault was beginning to overwhelm him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Continuous collision sounds rang out as the three fought in a blur.

Tang Xiao was as steady as a mountain, responsible for the frontal containment.

Tang Hao was like a tiger descending from the mountains, his attacks fierce and cunning.

Though Sea Dragon Douluo held the advantage in rank, he was losing ground due to the terrain and their coordination, gradually feeling the strain.

"Xiao Qing, let's go!" Seeing an opening, Sea Dragon Douluo forced the two back with a violent burst of power, turned, grabbed Ye Qing—who was still watching the show—and sped away into the distance without hesitation.

Continuing the fight would not only yield no benefits but might expose more of his trump cards, which would be a net loss.

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao watched the two figures retreat, but did not pursue.

They were still uncertain of the other party's identity.

"Big Brother, what do we do now?" Tang Hao asked, looking at Tang Xiao beside him.

Tang Xiao's gaze fell upon the pale-faced Ah Yin, and he pondered, "Let's clarify the situation first."

Tang Hao walked up to Ah Yin, softening his tone as much as possible, his voice tinged with gentleness: "Ah Yin, you saw what happened just now. We want to know, are you truly a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

Ah Yin trembled all over, her eyes filled with fear.

She had not expected her identity to be seen through by a Title Douluo, and she was even more afraid that these two men, who had traveled with her for many days, would turn against her because of it.

Tang Xiao also spoke to reassure her: "Don't be afraid. With us here, we will certainly keep you safe. While our Clear Sky Sect may not claim to be able to rival the Martial Soul Hall, we are certainly not people to be trifled with."

Feeling the sincerity in their voices, Ah Yin hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and nodded, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum: "I... I am indeed a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

"It's true!" Excitement that could not be hidden instantly erupted in the eyes of Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.

A transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

This was a heaven-sent opportunity for any sect!

If they could keep her at the Clear Sky Sect, it would mean an immeasurable boost for both Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao suppressed his excitement and asked, "Ah Yin, are you willing to return to the Clear Sky Sect with us? With the sect's protection, even the Martial Soul Hall would not dare to touch you easily."

Ah Yin, however, shook her head.

At this moment, she only wanted to return to the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest as quickly as possible to find Ah Rou and seek refuge.

That was the only place she felt was truly safe.

"Thank you for taking care of me during this time, but I think I will return to the Star Dou Great Forest first. We shall meet again if fate allows."

With that, she turned to leave.

"Wait!" Tang Hao's eyes sharpened.

If he let this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form just walk away, wouldn't that be a massive loss?

He did not hesitate any longer; his figure flickered to appear behind Ah Yin, and with a light flick of his palm, a domineering surge of soul power struck the back of her neck.

Ah Yin's body went limp, and she instantly lost consciousness.

Tang Hao hoisted the unconscious Ah Yin onto his shoulder and said to Tang Xiao, "Big Brother, there is no time to lose. Let us return to the Clear Sky Sect as quickly as possible!"

Tang Xiao nodded, wasting no more time, and they sped off rapidly in the direction of the Clear Sky Sect.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Qing looked at the state of Sea Dragon Douluo, stunned for a moment before he couldn't help but burst into a laugh—a laugh that only grew more uncontrollable the longer it went on.

For where was there any trace of a Title Douluo's dignity left on Sea Dragon Douluo?

His left cheek was swollen high, marked with a distinct bruise.

The tip of his nose was bright red, and there was even a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

It was clear that he hadn't been paying attention during the fight earlier and had been grazed by Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer.

Coupled with a face that was not particularly handsome to begin with, he looked exceptionally comical at this moment.

"Laugh! All you know how to do is laugh!"

Sea Dragon Douluo was already full of pent-up frustration, and being laughed at by Ye Qing made him feel even more humiliated.

He couldn't help but let out a low growl, his tone filled with annoyance: "What is so funny? Those two brats launched a sneak attack, and This Seat was merely careless for a moment!"

He had lived for so many years, yet this was the first time he had suffered such a loss at the hands of Soul Douluos.

But as luck would have it, the opponents were from the Clear Sky Sect, and they wielded that very Clear Sky Hammer which had left such a deep impression on Sea God Island.

What made him even more stifled was that he had been forced to the point of running away; if word got out, he would likely be the laughingstock of the other Sacred Pillar Douluos for two and a half years.

"I'll stop, I'll stop."

Ye Qing forced back his laughter, but seeing Sea Dragon Douluo's bruised and swollen appearance, the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but curl upward: "It's just that you look so... there's such a sense of contrast, Uncle Sea Dragon."

"Sense of contrast?"

Sea Dragon Douluo didn't understand this new term, assuming it was just mockery of his disheveled state, and he immediately huffed and puffed: "Laugh again! Laugh again and This Seat will leave you here to feed the soul beasts!"

Though the words carried a threat, they lacked any real conviction.

How could he dare to truly leave this Sea God successor alone now?

If even the slightest thing went wrong, not only would Bo Saixi not spare him upon his return, but he feared the very divine consciousness of the Sea God himself could split him in two.

"What do we do next?" Sea Dragon Douluo asked.

"Do you not want revenge?" Ye Qing countered.

"Of course I do, but I can't exactly go back to Sea God Island and invite the Grand Pontiff here," Sea Dragon Douluo replied, feeling both speechless and miserable.

He had lost the fight, he was unhappy, and he had no face to return.

"That won't be necessary."

Ye Qing grinned, his gaze shifting toward the direction of the continent's renowned holy land for soul masters as he reminded him: "On this continent, the Clear Sky Sect is not the strongest. As long as we dare to initiate the fight, there will be others who dare to join in!"
