Deadlocked

The ice-and-fire shield before Ge Duo was covered in cracks from Tang Hao's attack, but it had not shattered. Red and blue light flowed across it, and it healed once more.

"What?" Tang Hao's pupils contracted. Shock surged through him.

Even if that furious blow had not been at full strength, it was enough to severely injure an ordinary Titled Douluo. Yet she had blocked it so easily?

How could this woman's defenses be so strange?

"Is that all the strength you have, His Excellency Haotian?" Ge Duo's voice carried a hint of lazy disappointment, as though she were judging a poor performance.

"It seems the drink has eaten away at more than your brain over the years. Even your hammer has gone soft."

Mockery! Blatant mockery!

"You're asking for death!"

Tang Hao flew into a frenzy and unleashed Divine Slaughter's Domain.

A killing intent so cold it seemed tangible spread through the air, sending the temperature plummeting. His eyes turned bloodred, and Soul Power burned around him like boiling magma.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Clear Sky True Body!"

The enormous phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer merged with him. His body seemed to swell, and his aura grew even more terrifying! He held nothing back now. He would smash this damned woman and the strange spring together!

"Great Sumeru Hammer!"

Gripping the hammer with both hands, he spun like a top, gathering power that could shatter mountains and split the earth. The massive Clear Sky Hammer became the heart of a storm of destruction and thundered toward Ge Duo once more, intent on crushing everything in its path! This blow was more than twice as powerful as the last!

Faced with a strike that would make any Titled Douluo blanch, Ge Duo finally grew serious.

"Now that's more like it."
