Tang Hao's Severed Arm and Desperate Escape

God-level control skill, ignoring levels, absolute immobilization!

Though with Gu En's current spiritual power, he could only freeze the Titled Douluo for a mere second.

Yet for three top-tier Titled Douluo prepared in advance, one second was enough!

"Strike!" Gu En shouted sternly.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Seven Killings Avatar! Ninth Soul Skill: God-Demon Twin Slashes!"

Chen Xin showed no mercy, transforming entirely into a giant sword piercing the heavens and earth, cleaving straight toward Tang Hao with an edge that tore through the void.

"Ninth Soul Skill: Bone Dragon Transformation!"

Gu Rong transformed into a massive bone dragon, bringing a dragon claw imbued with the ultimate spatial-tearing power down upon Tang Hao's head.

"Eighth Soul Skill: Time Solidification!"

Dugu Bo also spat out his natal poison pellet, transforming it into a jade-green pillar of poison capable of corroding space, aiming straight for Tang Hao's heart.

The fatal strikes of the three Titled Douluo erupted simultaneously within that single second!

"No!!!"

Under the extreme pressure of life and death, Tang Hao's potential was completely forced out.

In the final tenth of a second before the immobilization effect lifted, he emitted a beast-like roar.

"Martial Soul Avatar! Grand Sumeru Hammer... All rings, detonate!!!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

All the remaining soul rings on Tang Hao's body, including the crimson soul ring representing a hundred thousand years of cultivation, shattered into pieces at this very moment!

He had completely gone mad!

The backlash brought by the total detonation of all rings was enough to destroy half his vitality, but if he did not do this, he would immediately be blasted into slag!

The extreme, violent energy instantly poured into the gigantic Clear Sky Hammer, meeting the combined strike of the three Titled Douluo head-on.

"Rumble--!!!"

The back mountain of Nuoding Academy was directly flattened by half in this collision, the blinding light making heaven and earth lose their color.

"Ah!!!"

Amidst the light came Tang Hao's shrill scream.

Even with his full-ring detonation, he could not completely withstand the must-kill blow of the three Titled powerhouses.

Chen Xin's Seven Killings Sword Qi intersected with Gu Rong's spatial tear, directly severing Tang Hao's left arm!

Blood sprayed into mid-air like a fountain, and that thick arm instantly turned into a pool of pus within the Poison Douluo's toxic fog.

The light scattered.

Tang Hao half-knelt on the ground, his entire body bathed in blood, his left shoulder completely empty, with bare white bones visible even at the wound.

The soul power fluctuations within his body plummeted like a deflated ball due to the full-ring detonation and the severe injury of his severed arm.

Level ninety-five, level ninety-four, level ninety-three...

In the end, it stopped rigidly on the verge of level ninety-two, and continued to grow weaker!

"Cough, cough... cough..."

Tang Hao spat out large chunks of internal organs, his gaze filled with terror and despair.

He knew he had completely lost; continuing to fight meant certain death.

Enduring the agonizing pain of his soul tearing, he used his only remaining right hand to grab Tang-San, who had passed out on the ground, tucking him under his ribs.

Tang Hao whipped his head around, glaring at Xiao Wu hiding behind Gu En and the others.

"Hundred-thousand-year... soul bone..." A flash of extreme greed and unwillingness crossed Tang Hao's eyes.

He wanted to snatch Xiao Wu away as well!

However, when he saw Chen Xin raise his Seven Killings Sword once more, saw Gu Rong's bone claws ready at any moment to tear space apart, and met Gu En's mocking gaze, the greed in Tang Hao's eyes was instantly extinguished by fear.

He couldn't take her, he simply couldn't take her!

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! I, Tang Hao, will remember the debt of today's severed arm!"

Leaving behind a blustering threat, Tang Hao dared not linger a moment longer.

Forcefully draining the very last shred of soul power in his body, he transformed into a wretched crimson meteor and fled toward the distance without looking back.

In that panicked, scurrying figure, there was not a shred of the former Clear Sky Hammer Douluo's imposing manner left; he looked quite simply like a stray dog whose legs had been broken!

Watching the direction of Tang Hao's flight, Gu En did not send the three Douluo in pursuit.

"Don't chase a desperate foe. A good-for-nothing whose arm is broken, whose soul power has dropped to level ninety-two, and whose wife's soul bone has even been taken by me is no longer worth worrying about."

Gu En turned around, looking at Xiao Wu who sat slumped on the ground in a daze, a gentle yet chilling smile curling the corner of his lips:

"Well, little rabbit, your 'guardian' has run off. Now, you belong to me."

In the ravaged little grove, the scent of blood remained pungent.

Gu Rong walked to the edge of that deep crater, his gaze falling upon the thick, severed left arm.

His withered fingers gently sliced through the void, and spatial power instantly decomposed that severed arm.

-- Hum --

A left arm bone radiating a profound black light peeled away from the flesh and blood, suspended mid-air.

This soul bone possessed a thick aura with faint sounds of wind and thunder, clearly a top-tier ten-thousand-year soul bone with an age of at least fifty thousand years.

"Heh, for all that old rat was running for his life, he left us a bit of interest."

Gu Rong grinned, pulling the soul bone into his hand and tossing it to Gu En, "En'er, keep it safe. This haul means we've made a massive profit."

Chen Xin also nodded slightly. Severing one of Tang Hao's arms and seizing a high-grade soul bone—such a feat was enough to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect shake the world with awe.

Nearby, Dugu Bo looked at that soul bone with an unmasked flash of envy.

Yet he knew very well in his heart that he was merely a "hireling" now; spoils of war at this level were not something he could touch at all.

"En'er, Tang Hao is done for, and this hundred-thousand-year soul beast is also in hand. Shouldn't we set off for the Star Dou Great Forest?" Gu Rong asked casually.

"No rush."

Gu En stored the left arm bone into his storage soul tool, reached out to grab the back of Xiao Wu's collar, and hoisted her up like a little chick.

"There's still a loose fish in this Nuoding Academy that we haven't dealt with yet."

Gu En's purple-golden eyes looked toward a building deep within the academy, a cruel smile hooking the corner of his mouth.

Nuoding Academy, teachers' office building.

Yu Xiaogang sat before his desk, furrowing his brow tightly as he looked at the documents in his hand.

He had just heard the terrifying roar coming from the back mountain, but a Soul Grandmaster of merely level twenty-nine like him dared not approach a battlefield of that caliber at all.

"Bang!"

The wooden door of the office was suddenly kicked directly to pieces by a tremendous force, wood chips flying everywhere.

"Who is it?!"

Yu Xiaogang was terribly startled and abruptly stood up.

Before he could even make out the intruder, a hand like an iron vise instantly clamped around his throat.

"Ugh--!"

Yu Xiaogang didn't even have time to summon Luo Sanpao before Gu En hoisted him up with a single hand.

A strong sense of suffocation made his eyes roll back, his legs kicking weakly in the air.

Choking Yu Xiaogang, Gu En turned and walked out of the office building, tossing him like trash before Chen Xin and the other two in the open clearing.

"Cough, cough, cough... Who... who are you?!"

Yu Xiaogang clutched his neck and coughed violently. When he raised his head and saw the three elders emanating terrifying pressure along with Xiao Wu being dangled in Gu En's grip, his heart almost leaped out of his throat.
