The massive Clear Sky Hammer, accompanied by a whistling sound, created ear-piercing sonic booms as it rubbed against the air.
Even before the hammerhead arrived, the terrifying pressure already made it difficult for Qian Renxue to breathe.
"Protect the young master!"
The Snake Lance Douluo roared.
He raised his twelve-foot -Snake Lance and thrust it towards the Clear Sky Hammer.
The Snake Lance shone brightly, its Seventh Soul Ring flashed, and he activated his Martial Soul Avatar.
The Snake Lance transformed into a gigantic two-headed green python, opening its blood-red maw to bite at the Clear Sky Hammer.
The Porcupinefish Douluo wasn't idle either. The Pufferfish spines on his body suddenly shot out, transforming into a rain of green poison that blocked all of Tang Hao's escape routes.
"Get out of my way!" Tang Hao roared.
The black light on the Clear Sky Hammer surged dramatically.
" The Great Sumeru Hammer!"
Tang Hao didn't even use his Soul Skill; he directly used the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate technique.
The massive hammerhead smashed down on the two-headed green python's head.
A crisp cracking sound was heard.
The Snake Lance Douluo's Martial Soul Avatar was cracked by this hammer blow.
The two-headed green python let out a shrill scream and transformed back into Snake Lance.
Snake Lance Douluo was struck as if by lightning, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into more than a dozen large trees before finally coming to a stop.
The barrage of poisonous thorns struck Tang Hao, but were deflected by his protective aura, failing to even pierce his clothes.
"Is that all you've got? You dare block my way?"
Tang Hao knocked back the Snake Lance Douluo with a single hammer blow, but did not retreat an inch.
Using the force of the recoil, he twisted his body halfway in mid-air and swung the Clear Sky Hammer again, smashing it directly onto the Porcupinefish Douluo on the ground.
The Porcupinefish Douluo was shocked. His greatest strengths lay in using poison and attrition; he was no match for Tang Hao in a head-on confrontation.
He quickly retracted his Martial Soul Avatar, and his body rolled rapidly on the ground, narrowly avoiding the hammer blow.
The Clear Sky Hammer slammed into the ground.
The entire forest shook violently. A crater several meters deep was smashed into the ground, and soil and gravel mixed with the powerful shockwave flew in all directions.
Although the Porcupinefish Douluo dodged the frontal attack, he was still hit by the shockwave.
He was thrown into the air and rolled on the ground more than a dozen times before regaining his balance, his face turning pale.
In just two exchanges, Tang Hao had rendered the two Titled Douluo completely powerless.
Tang Hao shouldered the Clear Sky Hammer and refocused his gaze on Qian Renxue.
"Now, it's your turn, Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall."
Tang Hao walked towards Qian Renxue step by step, and with each step, his aura increased.
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, and golden light shone brightly behind her.
Six pure white wings, formed from condensed energy, stretched out from her back: two yellow, two purple, and two black.
Six perfectly matched Spirit Ring hovered beneath her feet.
Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, possessing the body.
The divine light instantly illuminated the dim forest, dispelling much of the oppressive feeling emanating from Tang Hao.
" Six-Winged Angel. Qian Xunji's beastly Martial Soul. Seeing your radiance makes me feel disgusted." Tang Hao's killing intent intensified, and the ninth red Spirit Ring beneath his feet began to flash.
"If you want to kill me, you'll pay the price!" Qian Renxue raised the Angel Holy Sword in her hand. Golden flames burned on the sword, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply.
" Angel Domain!"
Qian Renxue shouted loudly. A golden halo rapidly spread outwards from her, enveloping Tang Hao.
Tang Hao raised an eyebrow as he sensed the dissolving power emanating from the surroundings.
"Domain? Too bad, your cultivation is too weak. In the face of absolute power, any domain is a joke!"
Tang Hao's killing intent suddenly erupted. The white, materialized killing intent formed an equally massive Divine Slaughter's Domain.
The white killing intent and the golden holy light collided fiercely in mid-air. The two forces were evenly matched, forming a clearly defined barrier in the forest.
Tang Hao gave Qian Renxue no more time to prepare. He gripped the hammer handle with both hands and leaped high into the air. The Clear Sky Hammer swelled in the wind, transforming into a small black mountain.
"You scum, die!"
Tang Hao roared, bringing with him the power to destroy everything, and slammed down on Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue gripped the sword with both hands, pouring all her Soul Power into the Angel Holy Sword. Six wings enveloped her, forming a golden cocoon of light.
" Angel's Protection!"
She activated her strongest defensive Soul Skill.
The black Clear Sky Hammer slammed heavily onto the golden cocoon of light.
There was no deafening explosion, only a teeth-grinding squeezing sound.
The golden cocoon of light cracked instantly upon contact.
Qian Renxue felt an irresistible force coursing through her entire body via the Angel Holy Sword.
Her arms made a crisp cracking sound.
The sound of bones breaking was particularly jarring in the woods.
Qian Renxue let out a muffled groan, and the Angel Holy Sword flew out of her hand, spun a few times in mid-air, and then stuck into the soil at an angle. The golden cocoon of light shattered completely, turning into countless specks of light.
Tang Hao's eyes flashed with a fierce light, showing no intention of stopping.
The power of the Clear Sky Hammer remained undiminished, continuing to smash down towards Qian Renxue's head. If this blow landed squarely, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall would instantly turn into a pile of minced meat.
Qian Renxue closed her eyes. She never imagined that her plan, which had been undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire for so many years, would end in such a frustrating way.
The enormous black hammer was about to smash Qian Renxue's head.
"Bang!"
A deafening thud.
The violent air currents in the woods suddenly stopped at that moment. The expected splattering of brains did not occur.
Qian Renxue opened her eyes and saw a tall figure standing in front of her.
Qin Feng wore a long black coat, his right hand in his pocket, and his left hand casually raised. With that slender, fair hand, he effortlessly caught the Clear Sky Hammer that was crashing down like a small mountain.
There was no fluctuation of Soul Power, no Martial Soul Possession. It was just pure physical strength.
Tang Hao was stunned. He felt as if his hammer had struck the ancient black iron, and the force of the recoil made his hand go numb, and the hammer handle almost slipped from his grasp.
" Qin Feng?" Tang Hao recognized the person and his eyes instantly turned red.
Just a few days ago, this kid beat Tang San so badly in the Great Soul Arena that his ribs were broken, he coughed up blood and fainted, and he even publicly humiliated him in his diary. Tang Hao was originally going to settle scores with Qin Feng, but unexpectedly this kid delivered himself to his doorstep and even blocked his sure-kill hammer blow.
"It's me." Qin Feng yawned.
Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing also entered the woods. The three girls stood not far away. Zhu Zhuqing was holding a box of snacks that Qin Feng had bought on the way, and stood properly to the side.
"Fine! Very well! I was just looking for you. Today, I'll settle both old and new scores!" Tang Hao roared.
The ninth red Spirit Ring beneath his feet erupted with a blinding red light.
The power of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring was fully activated. Tang Hao gripped the hammer handle with both hands and exerted force upwards, trying to pull the Clear Sky Hammer back and deliver another fatal blow to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng suddenly tightened his grip on his left hand.
"Click click click!"
Qin Feng actually managed to crush five deep finger marks on the incredibly hard hammerhead of the Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang Hao used all his strength to pull back, but the Clear Sky Hammer seemed to be rooted to Qin Feng's hand and did not move an inch.
"Settle accounts? You're not worthy." Qin Feng scoffed.
With a flick of his left hand, an overwhelming force surged through the hammer handle. Tang Hao felt a jolt in his arms and staggered forward two steps uncontrollably.
Qin Feng raised his right leg and kicked Tang Hao directly in the chest.
" Heaven-Opening Severing Leg!"
This kick was completely devoid of any fancy moves, its speed reaching its peak. The moment the toe struck Tang Hao's chest, the air emitted a series of explosive sounds.
Tang Hao didn't even have time to make a defensive move. His protective aura was as fragile as paper and was instantly shattered by the kick.
"Puff!"
Tang Hao coughed up a mouthful of blood. His burly body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing through five or six large trees as thick as water vats before finally slamming heavily onto a small hill, creating a huge crater.
The entire room fell silent.
The two Titled Douluo, Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo, lying on the ground, were dumbfounded. Even combined, they couldn't withstand a single blow from Tang Hao's hammer. This young man named Qin Feng had actually caught the Great Sumeru Hammer with one hand and kicked Clear Sky Douluo away with a single kick? And that kick clearly didn't use any Soul Skill. Kicking Titled Douluo away with pure physical strength—was he even human?
Qian Renxue collapsed to the ground. Her arms were numb with pain, but the shock in her heart far outweighed the physical pain. She stared blankly at Qin Feng. Before, she had thought of sending someone to investigate Qin Feng's background, and even considered eliminating him. Now, it seemed that such thoughts were utterly ridiculous.
A violent coughing sound came from the crater.
Tang Hao struggled to his feet from the pile of rubble. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were completely torn at the chest, and a section of his sternum was visibly sunken. If he hadn't used the Clear Sky Hammer to temper his body over the years, that kick would have pierced his heart.
"You... what kind of monster are you..." Tang Hao Blood One staring at Qin Feng.
"Enough with the nonsense." Qin Feng took a step forward.
With just one step, Qin Feng's body traversed a distance of over a hundred meters as if Teleportation, appearing directly in front of Tang Hao.
Tang Hao was horrified. He knew he had kicked a hornet's nest today, and he didn't care about the reputation of the Clear Sky Douluo anymore. His first, second, and third Spirit Ring lit up at the same time, and then shattered one after another.
" Ring Detonation!"
The immense energy generated by the explosion of the three Spirit Ring poured into Tang Hao's body. His body swelled up, and he swung the Clear Sky Hammer with both hands, sweeping it towards Qin Feng's waist with a world-destroying momentum.
Qin Feng didn't even look, his right hand transformed into a blade, and he directly slashed down at the Clear Sky Hammer.
The palm of flesh collided with the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Boom!"
The blast wave scraped off a layer of the surrounding ground.
Tang Hao screamed in agony. His proud Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul was actually cleaved in a huge crack by Qin Feng's palm strike, almost shattering on the spot. The backlash caused the tiger's mouths of both hands to explode, spitting out blood. He could no longer hold the Clear Sky Hammer, which flew out of his hands and landed to the side.
Qin Feng slapped Tang Hao across the face with a backhand.
"Smack!"
The crisp sound of a slap echoed through the woods.
Tang Hao's mouthful of teeth flew out, mixed with blood. He spun three times in mid-air before crashing to the ground.
Qin Feng walked over and stomped on Tang Hao's head, pressing his face firmly into the mud.
"That piece of trash Tang San provoked me in the Soul Fighting Arena, so I was being polite by breaking a few of his bones. What are you doing here, you old dog, showing off instead of hiding in the sewers?"
Qin Feng exerted a slight force with his feet. Tang Hao's skull creaked under the strain, and he convulsed in pain.
The mighty Clear Sky Douluo, a powerful figure who once single-handedly severely injured the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, now looked like a dead dog at Qin Feng's feet.
Qian Renxue, watching this scene, felt a chill run down her spine. Qin Feng's methods were too ruthless. This absolute crushing of strength filled her with unprecedented fear.
Xiao Wu watched from afar, clapping and cheering. Tang San had betrayed her promise, and now she felt no goodwill towards the Tang Family father and son.
"Good job, Brother Qin Feng! That old bastard deserves a good beating!" Xiao Wu shouted.
Ning Rongrong looked at Qin Feng with admiration. As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had seen many Titled Douluo, and Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa were also top experts. But she never dared to dream of a scene like Qin Feng trampling Titled Douluo under his feet.
Zhu Zhuqing silently stepped forward. She took out a clean, hot towel from the cloth bag she carried with her, walked to Qin Feng's side, knelt down, and handed the towel to him.
"Master, wipe your hands. This kind of filth isn't worth getting yourself dirty."
Tang Hao got up from the ground, his face covered in blood.
He didn't dare to look at Qin Feng even once. He put away the cracked Clear Sky Hammer, endured his serious injuries, and stumbled away into the depths of the forest.
The Porcupinefish Douluo and the Snake Lance Douluo walked over, supporting each other. They looked at Qin Feng warily and stood in front of Qian Renxue.
Qin Feng completely ignored the two wounded. He turned to look at Qian Renxue, who was sitting on the ground, his gaze sweeping over her broken arms and her beautiful face.
" The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall... she's not bad looking, but she's not very bright. She actually tried to kill me just now?" Qin Feng said calmly.
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and remained silent. The excruciating pain in her arms left her drenched in sweat.
Qin Feng didn't say anything more. He took out a black notebook from his pocket. The cover was made of some unknown material and exuded a strange aura.
He opened his Diary, took out a pen from somewhere, and began to write as if no one else was around.
" Zhuqing, get me a chair," Qin Feng casually ordered.
Zhu Zhuqing immediately took out a high-end soft chair from her Soul Tool and placed it behind Qin Feng. Qin Feng sat down and crossed his legs, his pen quickly tracing patterns on the paper.
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong came over and stood on either side of the chair. Xiao Wu obediently massaged Qin Feng's shoulders, while Ning Rongrong took a piece of pastry from the box that Zhu Zhuqing was holding and carefully fed it to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng ate pastries while writing.
The moment Qin Feng put down his pen, a semi-transparent, glowing screen simultaneously appeared in front of all the women chosen by fate across the entire Douluo Continent.
This is the light screen of Qin Feng's diary.
The text on the light screen appeared line by line.
The weather was nice today. I took my three girls out for a stroll.
[Then a real drama unfolded. That old dog Tang Hao actually showed up to bully people.]
