"What happened? Do you need me to mobilize people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to help?"
Ning Rongrong asked warily.
Back at Shrek Academy, Ye Chen had looked completely confident the entire time.
Now, she finally saw a different emotion on Ye Chen's face.
"The two people behind you are only Soul Saints. They can't intervene in a Titled Douluo battle."
Ye Chen suddenly grabbed Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's hands. The three of them instantly vanished into the void, while the entire carriage exploded where it stood.
A gigantic Clear Sky Hammer smashed down upon the spot where the carriage had been, while Rockbreaker Douluo Shi Gandang appeared in the distance.
Seeing Ye Chen take the others away, Rockbreaker Douluo chose not to directly withstand the Clear Sky Hammer's attack.
After all, he was only a level 91 Titled Douluo. Facing the level 95 Super Douluo Tang Hao head-on still put him at a considerable disadvantage.
"A dignified Clear Sky Douluo actually launched a sneak attack on three twelve-year-old children."
The sky abruptly darkened.
It was not clouds blocking out the sun, but a shadow pressing down from the center of the heavens.
His back faced upward, and iron-gray vertebrae pierced through his body. Each segment gleamed with a cold metallic light, like a cast-iron dragon spine growing from his back.
Iron-Faced Douluo Zhao Tieshan stood suspended in midair, his back to the sky and his face toward the earth.
Dim iron-colored light spread outward from him, and the air within a hundred-yard radius seemed to sink.
Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red Soul Ring slowly floated beneath his feet.
The pressure of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring spread out like a tide, making the Clear Sky Douluo crawling through the dark, damp shadows abruptly change expression.
Then, Rockbreaker Douluo Shi Gandang outside the carriage and Cloudpiercer Douluo Feng Poyun in the air appeared at the same time.
Their configurations of two yellow, two purple, and five black Soul Rings could not compare with Old Zhao's, yet they were still deeply intimidating.
"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring? Three Titled Douluo?"
Ning Rongrong rubbed her eyes hard.
What kind of sect was this Body Sect, to possess at least five Titled Douluo?
Though she had never met Ye Chen's teacher, the man was the Body Sect's Sect Master, so he was certainly a Titled Douluo.
Besides that, Ning Rongrong had also seen a level 96 Golden Body Douluo outside Heaven Dou City.
"Is this the strength of the Body Sect?"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up.
No wonder they had looked down on her. With her mere level-seven Innate Soul Power talent, she could at most be considered average in the Body Sect.
A sect capable of dispatching three Titled Douluo to protect its Young Sect Master possessed strength beyond imagination.
Even a colossal force like Spirit Hall would not send three Titled Douluo to protect a single young master!
"Rat hiding in the gutter, the Sect Master let you escape last time, and you still dare come back to kill our Young Sect Master today."
Iron-Faced Douluo stepped forward.
Cloudpiercer Douluo and Rockbreaker Douluo took up positions to encircle Tang Hao, sealing off his retreat.
One specialized in defense, one in agile attacks, and one in powerful attacks. They could cooperate in a group battle and produce unexpected results.
"There was actually a level 95 Super Douluo hidden at this brat's side."
The Clear Sky Douluo gave a bitter smile.
Tang Hao had only been unable to contain his fury and attack because Tang San had been injured in such a humiliating place by Ye Chen.
Otherwise, Tang Hao might not have attacked Ye Chen here, even if Ye Chen only had two Titled Douluo with him.
Although Cloudpiercer Douluo and Rockbreaker Douluo were weaker than Tang Hao himself, the two Titled Douluo could go after Tang San.
Ye Chen was as slippery as a loach. Before Tang Hao exhausted his Soul Power, he was not confident that he could kill him.
Tang Hao had acted so impatiently this time because he feared that once Ye Chen recovered, killing him would become even more troublesome.
"Enough talk. Die!"
"Martial Soul Avatar!"
Three surges of Soul Power erupted almost simultaneously.
Zhao Tieshan straightened his back, and every section of his spine cracked explosively. Iron-gray patterns crawled from his tailbone all the way to his cervical vertebrae.
Each joint radiated dim, cold metallic light, like a cast-iron dragon spine turning out from beneath his flesh.
Feng Poyun's shoulder blades flared outward, and cloud-white wings of light emerged through the gaps in his bones. They expanded in the wind, their wingspan reaching six meters, white trails of light flowing along the edges of the translucent feathers.
Shi Gandang clenched both fists, and dark cyan light spread upward from his knuckles. His hands swelled to the size of basins.
His ten fingers curled like iron hooks. The instant he clenched them tight, a dull boom rang through the air.
The three formed a triangular formation. Iron-Faced landed in the center, Cloudpiercer hung overhead, and Rockbreaker stood across the front.
"Clear Sky Avatar!"
Tang Hao's seventh Soul Ring lit up beneath his feet.
The crimson Clear Sky Hammer in his hand abruptly expanded, its head swelling to the size of a millstone and its handle as thick as an arm.
Tang Hao gripped the handle with one hand and raised it above his head. Even the air seemed to fall silent.
As the continent's youngest Titled Douluo, Tang Hao's combat strength was exceptionally formidable.
"Kill him on the spot!"
The fourth and fifth Soul Rings beneath Iron-Faced Douluo's feet lit up simultaneously.
With his feet as the center, the ground within a twenty-meter radius abruptly sank. Broken stones were flattened against the earth, and an invisible weight filled the air.
Tang Hao felt his shoulders sink slightly, while his feet sank half an inch into the ground.
Then, Old Zhao's iron-gray spine burst through his body and transformed into a phantom, like an invisible hand clutching Tang Hao's spine from behind.
"Random Splitting Wind Hammer Technique!"
Tang Hao swung the Clear Sky Hammer, spinning as he brought down the first strike. Iron-Faced Douluo received it head-on without moving an inch.
Carrying the momentum of Random Splitting Wind, each blow of the Clear Sky Hammer grew heavier than the last. Hammer marks appeared across Iron-Faced Douluo's arms, yet he remained rooted in place without taking a single step back.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Heaven-Splitting!"
Feng Poyun dived from high above. His cloud-white wings folded tightly against his back, and his entire body transformed into a streak of light.
He was so fast that he broke the air with a sonic boom.
Then, like a white meteor falling from the sky, he blasted straight toward Tang Hao's head.
"Ninth Soul Ring, One Punch Settles the Mountain!"
Shi Gandang exerted force from the ground.
All the light on his dark cyan fist compressed into a single point at its center as it shot straight toward Tang Hao.
Before the fist even reached Tang Hao, its wind pressure had already crushed the ground into a straight trench.
"The Body Sect's Titled Douluo used their ninth Soul Skills right from the start. Is this what a battle between the strong looks like?"
Zhu Zhuqing's face was full of disbelief.
In her eyes, Titled Douluo were immensely powerful. There was only one in the entire Star Luo Empire.
Shouldn't Titled Douluo test each other first in battle? Why had Uncle Feng and Uncle Shi immediately unleashed their ultimate moves? Was this the Body Sect's fighting style?
"Ye Chen, aren't you afraid of offending the Clear Sky Sect?"
Ning Rongrong heard everything clearly.
Old Zhao had said to kill Tang Hao on the spot. There was no room for reconciliation whatsoever.
Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa had also fought other Titled Douluo before, but they had never considered taking anyone's life.
Every Titled Douluo was part of a sect's foundation. If one were easily killed, that sect itself would inevitably be affected.
That was why Tang Hao had still lived well after killing the previous pope, Qian Xunji.
Once Tang Hao attacked a Spirit Hall branch, he could simply move on to another place, while Spirit Hall could not withstand such losses.
