Not to Be Underestimated

"Ugh~ Hoo~~"

Beneath the sulfurous mountain peaks, in a deep, dark cave, suppressed cries of pain could be heard incessantly.

In the dimly lit cave, a golden light and a purplish-red light flashed alternately.

Although the golden light was much weaker than the purplish-red light, it was extremely stubborn and could not be removed or extinguished no matter how hard the purplish-red light tried.

Outside the cave, about a kilometer away, a woman peeked out from the canopy of a towering tree, her beautiful face fixed on the direction of the cave.

Sudden!

A bright green venomous snake appeared beside the woman's fair cheek!

The woman seemed oblivious, letting the venomous snake coil and wriggle beside her face.

"Rustle, rustle—"

Perhaps because of the woman's indifference and indulgence, a terrifying situation occurred. One after another, Huahua venomous snakes appeared, crawling out from the branches and leaves of the large tree above and beside the woman's head!

This scene would send chills down the spine and fill most people with fear!

As the venomous snakes swam freely, the woman's pretty face, which had been staring at the cave, became somewhat distorted, completely ruining its original beauty.

Especially those eyes, what kind of look was that?

Greed, ferocity, madness... most of the negative words in the world seem to be found in this face and these eyes.

Ten thousand miles away, in the Star Luo Empire, at Haoyang Cliff.

Tang Zhen stood with his hands behind his back at the edge of the wide square, his resolute face giving off an aura of authority without anger.

In the center of the square, Tang Hao, who was already twenty-two years old, was wielding his Martial Soul "Clear Sky Hammer" and fiercely clashing with Tai Tan, who was also in the Martial Soul possession state.

Tang Hao planted his feet on the ground, his calf muscles bulged instantly, his back arched like a large bow, and he twisted his waist, swung his arms, and swung his hammer.

On the other side, after the "Great Strength Gorilla" Martial Soul was attached to him, his arms grew longer and thicker, Tai Tan his palms gleamed with a metallic luster as he went straight to meet the heavy hammer that was smashing down.

"Clang--!!!"

"The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes" - Shock Formula VS "Iron Forging Hand"

As a special palm technique used by the [Strength Clan] to assist in forging and protect the hands, it can provide a layer of protection for the user, but it is ultimately not designed for combat.

Under the metallic sheen, Tai Tan's palm was unharmed, but his entire body was shaken by a shock that made his arm slightly numb and his upper body lean backward.

At the same time, Tang Hao, following the force of the recoil and the technique of the "Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique," used his waist and back to spin around halfway and smashed the hammer at Tai Tan again.

It has to be said that Tang Hao's talent is truly remarkable.

Despite still being only at the Soul King level, he managed to suppress Tai Tan, the patriarch of the Strength Clan, who was known for his strength, with each strike of his hammer becoming stronger than the last. Tai Tan was Soul Emperor level being!

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Tai Tan only defended and did not attack, and did not use Soul Ring or Soul Skill.

However, Tang Hao did not use any Soul Ring or Soul Skill at this time; he simply used the various power-generating techniques from the "Clear Sky Nine Absolutes".

Tang Hao pounded the Tai Tan with hammer after hammer, his speed increasing, and a fierce glint gradually appeared in his eyes.

He recalled that a year ago, he and his elder Tang Xiao went to "Sea God Island" in the West Sea to deliver a letter to their grandfather Tang Chen.

At that time, Tang Hao, who was young, impetuous and naturally arrogant, was in a state of restlessness and depression due to his long time at sea. As soon as he landed on the island, he immediately clashed with the islanders.

At first, the two brothers were invincible, defeating many Sea Soul Master of [Sea God Island] and making a name for themselves.

But in the end, when the guardian of the Sacred Pillar of [Sea God Island] made his move, he only used the same Soul Emperor level power as Tang Xiao, and he still easily subdued Tang Xiao, who was at the Soul Emperor level, and Tang Hao, who was at the Soul King Rank, capturing the two brothers alive.

That was Tang Hao's first crushing defeat in his twenty-odd years of career!

If it weren't for the fact that they were delivering a Bo Saixi to Sea God Island on behalf of their grandfather Tang Chen, and that Bo Saixi eventually asked them to let them go, the two of them might have stayed on that island.

Since returning to the Clear Sky Sect a year ago, Tang Hao has shown an even greater passion for cultivation than before, and he is also more enthusiastic about actual combat, to the point of almost forgetting to eat and sleep.

However, unless it's a power-type Soul Emperor like Tai Tan, many Soul Master of the same level within the Clear Sky Sect are often severely injured by Tang Hao, who, driven by his battle lust, can't stop himself.

Just as Tang Hao was getting carried away again, and the force of his hammer blows increased with each strike,

"Bite--!"

A clear, crisp piano note suddenly rang out, abruptly interrupting the clash between the heavy hammer and the giant hand.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"

After about ten breaths, the fighting spirit in Tang Hao and Tai Tan's hearts was completely extinguished by the sudden intrusion of the zither music, and they had no choice but to stop fighting.

"Call--"

Tang Hao let out a long breath, first glancing at Tai Tan, whose breathing was steady and showed no signs of disorder, then frowned before returning to calm.

Turning their heads, Tang Hao and Tai Tan saw a petite figure standing next to Tang Zhen on the sidelines.

Looking at that petite figure, Tang Hao's originally cold and hard expression instantly melted away, and a smile appeared on his face. He said gently, "Yuehua, it seems that your control over your domain power is becoming more and more refined—"

[Barak Kingdom] Lima Plain, ' Sena City '.

Ling Yi stood under the city gate, waved to Xiao Yan, and said, "Alright, A Yan, you should go back now."

Otherwise, they might label you a deserter—"

This time, the Heaven Dou Border Army only seconded Ling Yi to the Barak Kingdom, and also arranged a ten-person team to escort him along the way.

After all, on the surface, Ling Yi is just a Two-Ring Grand Soul Master of the Healing System. Although his Soul Power is not low, he has no combat power.

Upon receiving the news, Xiao Yan immediately jumped up and down, shouting that he wanted to follow Ling Yi and no longer stay in the border army.

Ling Yi was genuinely satisfied with Xiao Yan's choice, but he would not agree to it.

Ling Yi spoke, and although Xiao Yan was unwilling, he had no choice but to obediently stay with the border army.

However, out of concern for Ling Yi's safety, Xiao Yan applied to his superiors to take on the escort duty and personally escort Ling Yi to the Barak Kingdom.

From the Kelo City in the Fasinuo Province of the Heavenly Heaven Dou Empire to the Sena City on the Lima Plain of the Barak Kingdom, it was a distance of over a thousand miles. The two people and their horse traveled leisurely for three or four days before finally arriving.

Now, it's time to say goodbye.

In the end, Xiao Yan, carrying Ling Yi's instructions, turned and strode away.

In just three or four days, perhaps due to his excited mood or the influence of Ling Yi, Xiao Yan's Soul Power broke through to level 30 in one fell swoop. Now he only needs one more Soul Ring to break through to the Soul Elder realm!

At that time, Xiao Yan will no longer be a commander of a thousand men in the Heaven Dou Border Army, but will be expected to command an army of five thousand men.

Like Xiao Yan, Li Lili from Golden Eagle Gorge is also just one step away from becoming Soul Elder.

And similar to these two, there are at least twenty more people in the entire Heaven Dou Border Army who have a good relationship with Ling Yi, and some are even willing to leave the army to follow Ling Yi!

In addition, the Healing System Soul King Ai'er Timosi, the Healing System Soul Ancestor Lian Lai'en, who is backed by Soul Emperor and Soul Saint, as well as seven or eight other camp leaders and powerful figures, also regarded Ling Yi as a friend worth getting to know better.

Watching Xiao Yan's departing figure, Ling Yi knew that the seeds he had sown were now as inconspicuous as newly sprouted "Blue Silver Grass".

But one day, when these grassroots people grow strong and healthy, they will naturally become a force to be reckoned with!

Originally, I was supposed to be off today, so I should have been able to write more content.

Unfortunately, the author caught a cold, experiencing headaches, dizziness, tinnitus... and despite these symptoms, only this one chapter has been written since 1 PM.

o(╥╥)o

I will try my best to keep up with tomorrow's updates.

Enough said, back to writing~
