"Ye Chen, has the Sect Master been following you all along?"

Ning Rongrong looked utterly stunned.

In her view, Du Busi had arrived so quickly because he had been nearby all along.

It was simply that he was too powerful, so Clear Sky Douluo had failed to sense him and dared to attack Ye Chen.

Otherwise, with four Titled Douluo from the Body Sect present, what could Tang Hao possibly use to fight them?

"Teacher teleported here from the Body Sect."

"Otherwise, Tang Hao would already be dead without Old Zhao, Uncle Shi, and Uncle Feng needing to make a move."

Ye Chen had considered this possibility when he came to Suotuo City.

The straight-line distance between Suotuo City and the Body Sect was a little over four hundred li, just enough for Du Busi's spatial summoning.

If Ye Chen encountered Tang Hao's pursuit in Heaven Dou City, he would have to rely on Old Zhao and the other two to resist him head-on.

That was also why the Body Sect had dispatched no fewer than three Titled Douluo.

Even if the three of them could not withstand Tang Hao after he detonated all nine rings, Old Zhao was confident he could take Ye Chen away while the other two Titled Douluo covered their retreat.

When it came to endurance, the Body Sect's Titled Douluo, who possessed Soul Cores, far surpassed native Titled Douluo.

"Teleportation? Across such a great distance?"

Ning Rongrong drew a sharp breath.

Grandpa Bone also possessed spatial attributes, but the range was extremely limited.

Bone Douluo's spatial abilities were generally only used in battle, similar to Ye Chen's Void Leap.

"I'll treat Old Zhao first. Afterward, we'll go to Suotuo City and buy a carriage."

Ye Chen slowly spread open his right hand.

A Nine-Hearted Begonia appeared, but strange energy flowed across it, making it look exceptionally hazy.

As a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong recognized the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul at a glance. It was a Martial Soul even more formidable than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Although the Nine-Hearted Begonia only had a single healing effect, it was still a top-tier support Martial Soul. After all, who could avoid being injured?

"No wonder you always went to see Ye Lingling. So you're family."

Ning Rongrong let out a breath of relief.

Since Ye Lingling and Ye Chen shared a blood relationship, did that make her the girl Ye Chen knew best?

As the future Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, her partner would surely have to be a powerful battle Soul Master.

Her father had previously mentioned that he intended to arrange a marriage between her and the young sect master of the Body Sect.

Now it seemed that her father truly had excellent judgment. The Body Sect was simply too powerful.

"Go."

Ye Chen gave a light shake.

The petals of the Nine-Hearted Begonia fell onto Zhao Tieshan's body. The injuries Tang Hao had inflicted with his shockwave were instantly restored.

Zhao Tieshan moved about a little. Aside from the Soul Power he had expended not being restored, everything else was normal.

"A Soul King like you can heal a Super Douluo?"

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth.

The greater the difference in strength, the more strenuous support became.

Only a Soul Saint like her father could continuously support Titled Douluo above rank 95.

Yet Ye Chen, with the strength of a Soul King, had treated a Super Douluo without having his Soul Power instantly drained dry.

"You're making a fuss over nothing."

Ye Chen led the group toward Suotuo City.

His Twin Martial Souls had likely been tainted by Spacetime Law when he traveled to the Body Sect.

With the Nine-Hearted Begonia's healing and time dual attributes, treating Zhao Tieshan was naturally easy.

One turned back time, restoring Zhao Tieshan's major injuries to the state before he was wounded; the other provided supplementary healing, helping restore some minor injuries.

Combined, their effect was no longer merely one plus one equaling two. It had reached the level of five or six.

"Thank you, Young Sect Master!"

Zhao Tieshan revealed a warm smile.

His current condition was even better than that of the other two Titled Douluo. This was the terrifying part of the Young Sect Master.

"I wonder what Soul Bones Tang Hao will drop after he dies."

Ye Chen suspected that the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone was on Tang Hao.

Although the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone was unsuitable for him to absorb, it could be used by others in the Body Sect, such as Old Zhao before him.

Its innate soul skill, "Wildfires cannot burn it all away; spring winds bring it back to life," was exceptionally suitable for defense-type Soul Masters.

Although Ye Chen's Nine-Hearted Begonia could also regenerate severed limbs, one more Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone meant one more measure of strength.

"You're really going to kill Tang Hao!"

Ning Rongrong could scarcely believe it.

The Body Sect was a pack of murderous fiends. She suspected Ye Chen had deliberately lured Tang Hao out to kill him.

Perhaps the Body Sect had even thoroughly investigated every Titled Douluo in the Clear Sky Sect. For all she knew, they might wipe out the entire sect.

"Ning Rongrong, stop chattering and hurry up. We need to buy a carriage."

Ye Chen rubbed Ning Rongrong's head.

The little witch puffed out her cheeks in anger, but she still obediently began searching Suotuo City for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's trading houses.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Tang Hao, who was frantically fleeing after detonating all nine rings, suddenly discovered someone standing ahead of him.

It was a middle-aged man with broad shoulders and a thick back, a gleaming bald head, hard facial lines, and a sharply defined jaw. His skin was the dark bronze color of someone weathered by wind year-round.

Most striking were his eyes. Their sharp glint was restrained within, yet when he looked at someone, it felt as though two blades rested against their throat—keen and oppressive enough to make them panic.

He stood with his back straight, every contour of his muscles clearly visible.

"You've become younger?"

Tang Hao had met Du Busi once before.

When Tang San recognized Ye Chen, Tang Hao had recognized him as well, which was why his killing intent had intensified.

He had never expected that when he saw Ye Chen's teacher again, the Sect Master of the Body Sect, the other man would look only thirty or forty years old.

"I was fortunate enough to break through to rank 99. This old body feels much more comfortable than before."

Du Busi spoke as though he were chatting with an old friend.

Before a rank 99 Ultimate Douluo, Tang Hao had no chance of escaping. Not even the slightest possibility.

"You cannot kill me. My grandfather is Tang Chen, the first Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, known as the invincible one on land."

Tang Hao brought up his grandfather.

Other than experts of the same rank, no one could possibly intimidate a terrifying existence at rank 99.

"Forget that old ghost being possessed. Even if he were still in the Clear Sky Sect, why would I, Du Busi, fear him?"

Du Busi's strength was exceedingly terrifying.

Even Tang Chen at his peak would be unable to suppress him. Without a Soul Core, Tang Chen might even be worn to death by Du Busi.

Ye Chen's trip to Heaven Dou City this time represented the Body Sect's formal reemergence. They now possessed the qualifications to contend with Spirit Hall.

"You know where my grandfather is?"

Tang Hao's face turned ashen.

The other man not only knew his grandfather's situation, but also dared to openly declare his intention to kill him. Clearly, he feared nothing.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Tang Hao gritted his teeth.

He poured all his Soul Power into the Clear Sky Hammer, intending to make one final stand.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Then, Body Poison Mist suddenly appeared within Tang Hao's meridians.

There was no warning, no process of closing in, no path along which the poison spread.

A wave of dark green poison silently erupted within Tang Hao's body, corroding everything from his internal organs to his meridians at the same time.

Tang Hao's arm, raised to wield the hammer, froze in midair. The red hammer body shuddered violently before slipping from his grip, its head crashing into the ground and creating a huge crater.

He dropped to one knee, bracing himself against the ground with his left hand. Blood streamed from his nostrils and dripped onto the shattered stones.

"You..."

Tang Hao knelt there, and the hand braced against the ground began to tremble.

The poison within him continued to spread. Every time he moved, it eroded another layer deeper.

Gradually, Tang Hao's consciousness grew heavy. He could no longer summon his Soul Power, nor could he pick up his hammer. In the end, his life force faded away.

"Little Chen was right. The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone might be on you. Seven Soul Bones in total is barely acceptable."

Du Busi took away the seven Soul Bones.

In the blink of an eye, Tang Hao was completely covered by poison. Before long, he would dissolve into pus.
