Qian Daoliu was a top-tier powerhouse of the continent, once ranked alongside his grandfather Tang Chen as one of the two great peaks of the soul master world!
Such a powerful figure was actually personally protecting two juniors in secret?
"What the hell is going on?!"
Tang Hao could no longer act arrogantly. Like a startled kitten, he immediately cowered.
"Insignificant Tang Hao! You dare try to harm my granddaughter and my disciple!"
"Bring your grandfather Tang Chen here, and perhaps he might be worthy! What the hell are you, little Tang Hao?!"
Qian Daoliu's majesty erupted.
The sound of his truly overwhelming presence shook hearts and souls.
Angel light shrouded the earth. Qian Daoliu lowered his head to look down upon Tang Hao below, as though he were looking at an ant. "Today, this old man would like to see exactly how you plan to make my granddaughter and disciple pay the price!"
As his majestic voice echoed—
Qian Daoliu had already condensed a Light Sword from light-element energy in his hand and slashed it toward Tang Hao in an instant.
"Damn it! How did this happen? The Worship Hall of Spirit Hall retired from the soul master world long ago and secluded itself from the world. Unless something exceptional happened, they would never appear!"
"They were merely two juniors traveling outside. Was there really any need for the Grand Pontiff of Spirit Hall to personally act?! Even if any other Consecrated Elders had come, it would have been better than this!!"
Tang Hao was utterly panicked. In that instant, he unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar to its limit. "Seventh Soul Skill, Clear Sky True Body!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, Sky-Surpassing Strike!!"
Tang Hao swung his hammer with all his strength, desperately blocking Qian Daoliu's descending sword.
Boom!
Two terrifying forces collided.
But Tang Hao's domineering power was instantly suppressed.
No exaggeration—Tang Hao truly was very powerful. He had mastered the three great secret arts of the Clear Sky Sect: Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, and the Great Sumeru Hammer Mystery Ring Explosion. He was also one of the few people on the continent who possessed six complete Spirit Bones.
With Soul Power at level 95, Tang Hao was strong enough to fight a level 96 powerhouse.
Coupled with the domineering force of the Clear Sky Hammer in a head-on clash, Tang Hao could even overpower a level 97 powerhouse. But the person he faced was Qian Daoliu, a level 99 peak Douluo. The gap in strength was enormous.
In just a few seconds, Tang Hao's power was completely suppressed!
"Get on your knees!!"
Bang!
Tang Hao's knees were forced straight down by Qian Daoliu, smashing into the ground.
"Argh!"
Tang Hao knelt firmly on the ground, raising the Clear Sky Hammer as he struggled bitterly against Qian Daoliu's continuously descending force.
The more arrogant and wild he had been moments ago, the more miserable he was now.
Though he had already used all his strength and veins bulged across his face, his body was still being pressed lower and lower.
"Weren't you very arrogant just now? What, not so arrogant anymore? Hm!!?" Qian Daoliu suddenly exerted force.
"I can't hold on! I can't hold on anymore!!" Tang Hao could no longer endure.
The power of the angel completely crushed Tang Hao's domineering force, and the Soul Power-condensed sword slashed down in an instant.
Splat~
"Ugh, aaahhh!~"
Tang Hao's right arm was severed on the spot by a single sword strike. He screamed miserably as his arm fell to the ground, blood spraying wildly from the stump.
Along with his right arm, a Sixty Thousand Year Right Arm Bone burst out.
It was one of the Clear Sky Sect's two inherited Spirit Bones.
But Tang Hao had no time to retrieve the Right Arm Bone that had fallen out. He barely dodged Qian Daoliu's next slash at the limit.
"Heh. Fifth Soul Skill, Holy Sword!"
A ten-meter-long sword condensed from Holy Sacred Fire was raised high, and Qian Daoliu's terrifying slash came crashing down.
"Damn it!"
"If this continues, I'll definitely die at Qian Daoliu's hands!"
"No! Xiao San hasn't grown up yet. I can't die!!"
Tang Hao's face was filled with both terror and rage. Gritting his teeth, he decisively detonated all nine rings in that instant. "Mystery! Ring Detonation!"
Bang bang bang bang!
His soul rings exploded one after another, and the terrifying power produced by the Ring Detonation all fused into the Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang Hao used his strongest hammer strike, smashing madly toward Qian Daoliu's Holy Sword.
Boom!
The two terrifying energies collided, and the resulting shockwave instantly swept across the entire area.
"Watch out!"
Lin Ye and Qian Renxue both released their martial souls at once to defend themselves, barely managing to block the energy shockwave from the clash between such powerhouses.
Tang Hao had blocked Qian Daoliu's Holy Sword.
"Run! I have to run immediately!"
In that instant, Tang Hao scrambled away on all fours like a stray dog, fleeing madly without even daring to leave behind a threat.
He did not dare pause for even a moment, fleeing the area with terror written all over his face.
By the time the energy shockwave dispersed, Tang Hao had vanished without a trace.
"Heh, Tang Hao sure ran fast." Qian Daoliu snorted coldly, with no intention of pursuing him.
Lin Ye was watching with his blood boiling.
He had never expected that the Tang Hao he remembered as so arrogant and overbearing would one day be beaten so miserably.
Qian Daoliu withdrew his power and picked up the Sixty Thousand Year Right Arm Bone Tang Hao had dropped.
After hesitating for a moment, he handed it to Lin Ye. "Disciple, this Spirit Bone is sixty thousand years old. It can be considered one of the finest Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. Absorb it. It will be very helpful to you."
Qian Renxue possessed the complete inherited Spirit Bone set of the Six-Winged Angel clan. Each piece was ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old, and all came from the same kind of soul beast.
When all six pieces of the set were gathered, they would complement one another. The effects of every Spirit Bone would rise to the Hundred Thousand Year level, and under the complete set's effects, the power of each Spirit Bone would become even stronger.
It could even form a Soul Bone Set, greatly increasing the wearer's strength.
Even Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones could not compare to the inherited Spirit Bone set of the Six-Winged Angel clan. The set was extremely powerful.
Of course, if individual pieces were exceptionally strong, then so long as several Spirit Bones reached the several-hundred-thousand-year level, they might not necessarily lose to the angel Spirit Bone set.
Therefore, Qian Renxue did not need it, so Qian Daoliu could only give it to Lin Ye.
Looking at the Spirit Bone, Lin Ye hesitated somewhat. "Sixty thousand years? It really is quite good, but..."
Once a Spirit Bone was absorbed, it was a lifelong matter unless one lost a limb. Lin Ye still wanted to take a chance and see whether he could obtain Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bones for his entire body.
He said, "Teacher, can I keep it on me for now? Absorbing a Spirit Bone is a lifelong matter. I want to wait and see whether there might be a more suitable Spirit Bone."
"So be it. Though it is sixty thousand years old, its attributes are not a perfect match for you. There is no harm in waiting a little longer. Take it first. You can decide for yourself when you wish to absorb it," Qian Daoliu said.
Lin Ye accepted the Spirit Bone. "Thank you, Teacher."
Looking at the Spirit Bone in his hand, Lin Ye suddenly remembered the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone that Tang Hao had not absorbed.
Right, if it were a Hundred Thousand Year soul ring, Teacher would definitely give it to Qian Renxue. But if it were a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, it would have to be mine. If I can find the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone, then I can obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone!
He began carefully searching through the memories in his mind.
He remembered!
Tang Hao had placed Ah Yin and the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone in an uninhabited mountain range near Holy Soul Village. There was a waterfall in those mountains, and Ah Yin and the Soul Bone were near the waterfall.
