Defeating Tang Chen
An unparalleled force struck the Clear Sky Hammer, and the recoil caused Tang Chen to cough up a mouthful of blood mist, flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
Its body tumbled through the air before plunging into the sea, splashing water everywhere.
"What terrifying power..." Qian Daoliu's pupils shrank. He had originally thought that the other party's strength was similar to Tang Chen's, but he had underestimated him.
This unfamiliar powerful figure is likely stronger than both him and Tang Chen.
Could it be a legendary god?
Qian Daoliu dared not think too deeply about it.
God was both familiar and distant to him. He had guarded the legacy of the Angel God his whole life, but had never witnessed the true power of God.
"Bang!"
The seawater exploded with a roar, shooting skyward.
Tang Chen transformed into a hundred-foot giant, clenching his fists tightly around the Clear Sky Hammer, and burst through the sea like a cannonball, heading straight for Yu Mingxiao!
"Martial Soul Avatar? Interesting." Yu Mingxiao raised an eyebrow slightly, standing still without dodging or flinching. He raised one hand lightly, and a blue vortex-shaped barrier swirled up in front of him.
Tang Chen's hammer blow struck the barrier, and its power was immediately dissipated, greatly reducing its effectiveness.
Yu Mingxiao moved swiftly, appearing behind him in an instant and delivering a punch to his lower back.
"Ah."
Tang Chen knew that his opponent Teleportation behind him, but he had no time to react and could only take the punch head-on.
Although his body had grown larger, he couldn't withstand the immense force and was blasted back into the sea once more.
"Bang!!"
The hundred-meter-tall body crashed into the sea, and water splashed everywhere instantly.
"This is simply a joke. Even if I were to go up against him, I'm afraid I wouldn't fare much better than Tang Chen. Who exactly is this person, and why is he on Sea God Island?"
Qian Daoliu's brows furrowed tightly.
He and Tang Chen were known as the two great masters of the Soul Master World, rarely matched in the world, but for the first time, he felt immense pressure from Yu Mingxiao.
Bo Saixi's eyes shone brightly. This was her man. Even Peerless Douluo was like a plaything in his hands.
Tang Chen fell into the sea again. Although he was not in mortal danger, he felt utterly humiliated.
He hadn't felt this frustrated in a long time, especially with Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi watching from the sidelines, making him even more embarrassed.
"No way! How can I, Tang Chen, be defeated like this! Even if I lose, I'll make him suffer a great loss!"
Tang Chen focused his mind and broke through the sea surface once again, stirring up a thousand-foot-high raging wave.
Yu Mingxiao did not attack immediately, but waited for the opponent to attack.
This wasn't arrogance; rather, he had other plans.
Tang Chen's aura suddenly surged, and the four Soul Ring beneath his feet appeared in his palm. Then, they exploded with a bang, and all the energy of the Soul Ring condensed on the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Is this the Ring Detonation?" Yu Mingxiao's eyes flickered. Using the fusion skill between the skull and mask bone, he instantly learned this secret technique.
As the Clear Sky Hammer, which had expanded several times its original size, crashed down upon him, Yu Mingxiao remained calm, and a golden ring of water ripples flew out as he spun his palm.
The golden circle suddenly expanded in mid-air, splitting into two, then into four, and heading towards its opponent.
Tang Chen smashed the incoming golden ring, but the moment it made contact, the power on the hammer was instantly wiped out and vanished into thin air.
The first move of the Golden Thirteen Halberds, which is also arguably the most famous move, is Boundless Sea Ripples.
This move originally required the aid of a weapon, but Yu Mingxiao was highly perceptive and could apply his knowledge to other situations, enabling him to activate it even with his bare hands.
The Boundless Sea Ripples is indeed quite good; it's essentially a spatial skill that can be used to trap enemies, deflect attacks, and so on.
After the power of the Ring Detonation was neutralized by a golden ring, Tang Chen had to face the remaining golden rings.
Fortunately, the golden ring wasn't very powerful, and he could barely handle it.
The next moment, Yu Mingxiao suddenly appeared in front of Tang Chen, his arm covered in dragon scales slowly rising.
Tang Chen was shocked and immediately detonated his fifth and Sixth Soul Ring, causing the power of his Clear Sky Hammer to surge. He gritted his teeth and fought back with all his might.
"Boom--"
The two forces collided, the water surface burst open with a roar, and a huge flood surged into the sky, shattering the surrounding space layer by layer, with powerful aftershocks sweeping over a hundred miles away.
Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi stared intently at the center of the energy collision, only to see Tang Chen spit out blood and fly backward, the Clear Sky Hammer slipping from his grasp and falling to the ground, its body riddled with cracks.
"Hiss--"
Qian Daoliu gasped, "He withstood the Ring Detonation with his bare body and severely injured Tang Chen. Is he already a god?"
Having suffered this blow, Tang Chen was almost certainly beyond fighting again, unless he was willing to risk his life.
In this battle, there was no suspense; Yu Mingxiao won, and won extremely easily.
Bo Saixi rushed to Yu Mingxiao's side and asked with concern, "Mingxiao, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
"It's alright. Do you think that guy with the hammer can hurt me?" Yu Mingxiao said with a soft laugh.
Qian Daoliu watched this scene from afar. As Limit Douluo, he could naturally hear their conversation.
For some reason, he felt a pang of envy for Yu Mingxiao.
He had been widowed for many years, and this was the first time he had met a woman who was more capable than himself. He admired her and felt a touch of affection for her.
To be with such a powerful woman would make life complete, allowing us to learn from each other and enjoy the sunset together.
But he could tell that the woman and the boy had a close relationship.
This left Qian Daoliu feeling helpless; his feelings of love had just begun to blossom when they were dashed.
A moment later Tang Chen emerged from the water, his aura weak and listless. The internal injuries from the consecutive Ring Detonation, coupled with the severe blows he had just suffered, had severely deteriorated his condition.
He sheathed his cracked Clear Sky Hammer and said in a low voice, "My skill is inferior, and I concede defeat. May I ask your esteemed name?"
Yu Mingxiao said, "My name is Yu Mingxiao."
"Yu Mingxiao... this name..."
Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that they had heard this name somewhere before.
The two exchanged a glance, pondered for a moment, and then remembered that this seemed to be the rising genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Tang Chen, in particular, had a deep impression of this name. This person had easily defeated his grandson Tang Hao, an event that had caused Tang Hao to be depressed for a while.
But he quickly recovered.
Tang Chen felt at the time that having such a genius suppressing Tang Hao might not be a bad thing.
Competition breeds motivation. If Tang Hao could eventually crush his opponent, his mindset might be elevated, so he stopped paying much attention.
But why does this guy in front of me have the same name as that genius from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Could it be a coincidence?
Surely he can't possibly be that genius from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?!
Yu Mingxiao was perfectly able to guess what the two were thinking, and smiled faintly, "That's right, it's the person you're thinking of."
"You... you really are Yu Mingxiao from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?" Tang Chen's expression changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost.
He simply couldn't believe that the once-renowned junior genius was now stronger than him Limit Douluo.
Qian Daoliu's expression was equally solemn.
No one expected Yu Mingxiao's strength to be so terrifying; just looking at him made one feel powerless.
