"Tang Hao actually came after us?!"

Ye Guyi's expression turned grave as she spoke rapidly.

"He took one of my attacks in Notting City and must be seriously injured. How could he dare risk his life to pursue us again?!"

"Could it be..."

Very quickly, she thought of a possibility.

"Could he have discovered that we took the Blue Silver Emperor and the Soul Bone? If so, he'll definitely fight us to the death!"

"My ninth soul skill is still on cooldown. We probably can't beat him head-on. Leave first!!"

With that, Ye Guyi prepared to take the two of them away.

"Leave? There's no need for that!!"

Ye Han waved a hand and stood up. There was no panic on his face; instead, he wore a smile.

"Sister Guyi, do you know what these two things are? Red Dust Blessing and the Sun-Moon Divine Needle!"

The Angel Ring on his hand flashed, revealing the two soul tools.

"Red Dust Blessing, the Sun-Moon Divine Needle!"

"Two top-tier ninth-level soul tools!!"

At the sight, Ye Guyi's beautiful eyes narrowed sharply, and she exclaimed,

"Xiaohan, where did you get these from?!"

As a Sixth-Level Soul Engineer, how could she not have heard of these two treasures?!

Especially the Sun-Moon Divine Needle, hailed as the stabilizing pillar of the Sun Moon Empire!

"Well... I'll tell you later!"

Ye Han stepped forward and placed the two soul tools in her hands.

"Sister Guyi is a Soul Engineer, so you definitely know how to use them, right? With these, are you confident you can defeat Tang Hao head-on?!"

Feeling the profound soul tools in her hands, Ye Guyi's gaze became resolute as she declared decisively,

"I'm completely confident I can defeat him! And thirty percent confident... I can kill him!!!"

Without waiting for Ye Han's response, she rubbed his little head.

"Xiaohan, stay here and be good. Don't come out. Leave the rest to your sister!"

With that, her slender figure leaped out the window and headed straight for Tang Hao.

"Well, damn!"

Ye Han stared blankly.

"Now that Sister Guyi has some confidence, she's this fierce?!"

But thinking about it, it was only natural. In the second Douluo era, she killed evil soul masters without even blinking.

And from her perspective, Tang Hao was one of the true culprits behind the destruction of the Martial Soul Hall.

Now that she had a chance to kill Tang Hao, how could she possibly let it slip away?!

"Next, it's up to Sister Guyi!!"

Ye Han murmured as he walked to the window and looked outside.

"Can that human woman really defeat Tang San's father..."

Xiao Wu stood beside him. Unaware of the power of those two soul tools, her face was full of anxiety.

Whoosh!!

With a flash, Ye Guyi had already arrived outside the inn.

The night outside was dark and gloomy, and chaos had long since erupted as the crowd scattered in every direction.

Tang Hao stood atop a building across from them, the Clear Sky Hammer in hand.

Nine Soul Rings were already shining around him. Soul power churned around his body, yet it could not conceal his weakness.

He was clearly severely wounded and was likely forcing himself to hold on with the killing intent of the Killing God Domain.

"So you finally dared to come out? You even dare face me? Good!!"

Seeing Ye Guyi emerge alone, Tang Hao laughed in fury, his voice like thunder.

"Return all of my things, and I'll leave you an intact corpse!"

"Otherwise, you'll die without a body left behind!!!"

Ye Guyi's expression did not change. Her cold, resolute voice rang out.

"In the name of the Holy Angel, born for battle, never resting until death!!"

As her words fell, the six wings behind her unfurled, and golden holy light tore through the night.

Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Red!!!

All nine rings appeared, and her holy pressure stood evenly against Tang Hao's violent soul power.

"Arrogant!!"

Tang Hao flew into a rage, disregarding his internal injuries as he pushed his soul power to its limit.

Haotian True Body!!

A massive phantom emerged behind him, while scarlet killing intent surged violently.

"I'm certain that you can't use your ninth soul skill a second time anytime soon!"

"This time, let's see how you'll contend against me!!"

Tang Hao grinned savagely and swung the Clear Sky Hammer down at Ye Guyi.

"Die for me!!!"

The massive hammer tore through the air, producing an ear-piercing sonic boom.

Though its power had greatly diminished due to his severe injuries, it still carried the force of a collapsing mountain.

Yet in the face of this attack,

Ye Guyi showed no fear and neither dodged nor retreated.

"Red Dust Blessing, core formation, activate!!"

Buzz!!

The Red Dust Blessing on her chest suddenly opened.

A rose-red barrier spread out, firmly enveloping her.

The barrier looked thin, but intricate soul patterns flowed across its surface.

Tang Hao froze for a moment before laughing disdainfully.

"You think this scrap metal can block my Clear Sky Hammer?!"

"What a foolish dream! Die!!!"

Boom!!!

The giant hammer slammed viciously into the barrier.

The two energies collided wildly, and shockwaves swept through the entire street.

The ground split with deep, spiderweb-like cracks, while every nearby tree was snapped by the blast.

The explosion was deafening, and dust filled the sky, swallowing the central area.

"Pfft!!"

After the strike, Tang Hao's body swayed.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.

Forcing the Haotian True Body had drained more than half his soul power.

His injuries had worsened, and even the hand gripping his hammer trembled.

Yet he clutched his chest and stared at the dust-filled sky, his face full of smug cruelty.

"Overestimating yourself... This is what happens when you provoke Haotian Douluo!!"

Inside the inn room, Xiao Wu peered through the window crack.

Watching the scene outside, her ears drooped and her voice trembled.

"Master... that human woman, will she..."

In her view, no one could withstand a Titled Douluo's full-force strike head-on.

But a teasing curve rose on Ye Han's lips.

"What a shame. My Red Dust Blessing has invincible defense!"

He had only just obtained this Red Dust Blessing, but it was already fully charged.

Ye Guyi had activated its active formation, gaining an invincible barrier with strength three times her own cultivation for fifteen seconds!

Sure enough.

As the night wind swept through and the dust dispersed,

Ye Guyi stood tall in the same spot, her six wings unfurled.

Moonlight fell upon her, and her golden feathers made her look like an angel descended upon the mortal world.

She was completely unharmed!

"W-What... how is that possible?!!"

Tang Hao's pupils contracted sharply. The smugness froze on his face, and even his voice changed pitch in shock.

"You took a strike from my Haotian True Body head-on. How could you possibly be completely unharmed?!"

"Was it that scrap metal? What kind of cursed thing is that?!!!"

He had roamed the continent for decades and seen every kind of scene imaginable.

Yet this sight before him completely overturned everything he knew!

Xiao Wu was equally stunned in the room, her little mouth hanging wide open.

"What... what the hell?! How did she block that?!"

Ye Han found it amusing.

"Rat, oh Rat, my soul tool technology is ten thousand years ahead of your era. Where are you supposed to find that kind of gap?"

At that moment, outside the inn,

Ye Guyi raised her beautiful eyes slightly. Her cold voice, thick with killing intent, echoed through the night sky.

"Finished attacking? Now, it's my turn!!"

She raised her right hand, and the compact Sun-Moon Divine Needle in her palm suddenly lit up.

The next instant, it soared into the clouds, transforming into a gigantic weapon that blotted out the sky.

Terrifying energy fluctuations poured from within it. Even space seemed suppressed as it locked onto Tang Hao below!

Ye Guyi parted her red lips, her cold voice carrying the weight of divine judgment.

"In the name of holiness, I pass judgment upon the sinner Tang Hao!!"

"Sun-Moon Divine Needle, activate!!!"

As her words fell, the soul power within Ye Guyi surged madly into the Sun-Moon Divine Needle.

It transformed into immense energy, locked onto Tang Hao below, and fired a blast!

Boom—!!!

[Author's Note:]

My dears, that rat is back again. This time, he'll get beaten up badly!!

A little spoiler:

Tomorrow's chapter will also expose Bibi Dong's true nature to Sister Guyi!

And there'll be development for their relationship too, but I can't reveal the specifics yet!

Also, there's something very important!

VIP release announcement!!!

This book will release its VIP chapters tomorrow, and QQ Reading members can read them for free.

Let me also talk about how this book is doing. Compared to Xiao Ya's previous book, this one's results have been pretty awful.

Every book gets a PK recommendation during the new-book period. If it fails, it'll be very difficult to get further recommendations afterward.

Xiao Ya personally felt that this book probably wouldn't make it through, right? The results won't be known until this afternoon, but I already didn't really feel like writing yesterday.

However, my editor told me that it would definitely pass, and even if it didn't, they would definitely give me another recommendation!

Xiao Ya was incredibly touched! So I'll keep writing! I'll do my best to write the later parts well, and two chapters will be updated daily at midnight!

I hope my dears can keep following daily, vote, and tap the reminder button! Please, please, please! Thank you all so, so, so much!!
