Hellblood Demon God-Great Annihilation Hammer

Without giving the three of them any chance to prepare, a pair of terrifying vertical pupils locked onto them!

The Red Flood Dragon Blood Lizard charged forward. As its massive jaws tore down, Yu Xiaogang, who bore the brunt of the attack, turned deathly pale!

"Fart like thunder! Heaven-Shattering, Earth-Rending Luo Sanpao!"

As the soul incantation left his lips, an explosive cloud of mist burst from the purple-skinned piglet's backside!

But in the next instant, that nauseating stench was utterly crushed by the Red Flood Dragon Blood Lizard's soaring bloodlust!

Having missed with its bite, the bloodshot vertical pupils of the Blood Lizard grew even more vicious!

With a sweep of its claws, the bloated body of the purple-skinned piglet Luo Sanpao was sent flying!

In an instant, Yu Xiaogang's face turned pale as paper. He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed bonelessly to the ground, instantly falling unconscious.

"Brother Lin, run! I'll hold it back!"

Both of their companions had crumbled at the Blood Lizard's attacks. Tang Yin gritted her silver teeth, blood trickling from the corners of her mouth.

She tried to use her strengthened Blue Silver Grass to stop the Red Flood Dragon Blood Lizard, only to find that she simply could not do it!

This Soul Beast, driven mad with fury, was already far beyond what the current Blue Silver Grass could hinder.

Whether in speed or strength, it had already risen beyond the level of a Millennium Soul Beast.

With such an enormous gap in strength, trying to stall until it died of exhaustion was nothing but a fool's dream. The only option was to confront it head-on.

"My poison is all gone, Brother Lin. You should leave. It's just... I'm sorry... Ah Yin can no longer repay your care..."

Tang Yin gripped the pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer. Her long hair fluttered as the girl raised her head and faced the crimson giant beast, strands of despair spilling from her heart!

A level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster had fallen in a single blow, while even a level thirty-seven Soul Elder was no match for this monster.

She did not know how she could defeat a Soul Beast of this level...

But she knew that, even at the cost of her life, she absolutely had to make sure Brother Lin survived!

For that, she would pay any price!!!

Heh... what an extravagantly luxurious reward. He had never seen anything like it before...

Just how badly did she want him to abandon her and run?

But...

"I refuse."

"At a time like this, why are you still talking such bullshit?"

Boiling blood energy blazed fiercely in his left arm, just like the surging rage within Lin Yue.

Taking a step forward in his fury, Lin Yue stood firmly beside Tang Yin. He clasped her cold, trembling little hand and looked up with her at the gigantic shadow spewing blood mist.

His eyes slowly closed as he sensed and drew upon every ounce of power within his body.

"Run!"

Tears welled at the corners of Tang Yin's eyes. With a sob in her voice, she shook her left hand, trying to throw off the palm gripping hers tightly.

Yet no matter how hard she struggled, that warm hand continued to envelop hers...

Just like when they had first met three years ago.

No matter how she struggled, she could not shake off Lin Yue's warm, powerful hand... nor could she escape the boy's steadfast eyes...

A girl whom no one cared about and no one looked after had been brought into his home, where he shared half his food with her.

From that day onward, whatever he had... she would receive half from his hands. She could not refuse, nor could she escape...

"Why... why are you doing this..."

Scenes from the past flashed through the tear-streaked girl's mind. She bit her lip, her petite body trembling uncontrollably.

He was clearly the person she treasured most, the person she would protect even at all costs, yet he stubbornly refused to listen and insisted on staying by her side...

"If I leave at a time like this, how would I be any different from an animal like Yu Xiaogang?"

Lin Yue grinned and turned slightly, taking Tang Yin's other hand and interlocking their fingers.

The next moment, his forehead gently touched hers—

"Tch..."

Outside the distant forest, Tang Hao watched the boy step forward. Not only did he fail to flee, he instead went to his daughter's side. Tang Hao's heart immediately flared with anger, and a trace of a Titled Douluo's aura leaked out, startling the Red Flood Dragon Blood Lizard into a brief daze.

"Hmph! That damned brat got to show off again."

Seeing his own daughter reveal the Clear Sky Hammer and even prepare to sacrifice herself to protect that little bastard, Tang Hao felt utterly unwilling to accept it.

He had desperately hoped that the damned bastard would abandon Xiao San and leave. Then, he could make his move at the very last moment!

Once that brat exposed his cowardly, fleeing nature, Tang Hao could make a dazzling entrance, block the giant lizard's claw just as Xiao San was about to die, and save her like a god descending into the world.

Not only would he let his foolish daughter see that brat's cowardly nature, he could also earn some favor in his daughter's heart and establish his image as a lofty, mighty father.

Yet he had never expected this brat to truly be so stubborn-minded, willing to stay here and die with her rather than retreat even half a step...

"Hmph. At least he's still a man..."

Muttering to himself, Tang Hao spat out the foxtail grass from his mouth, his expression turning solemn.

Fine, then he would act now. Once he smashed that mongrel lizard to death with a single hammer strike, he would give that useless bastard a thorough lesson and see whether he still dared to overstep his bounds with Xiao San in the future!

With a fierce grin and murderous light in his eyes, Tang Hao spread his right hand. Just as he was about to summon the Clear Sky Hammer that had not appeared for six years, he sensed a terrifying aura slowly awakening in the air...

In an instant, Tang Hao's expression changed drastically as he looked at the two people pressed close together before the Red Flood Dragon Blood Lizard!

Feeling both her hands tightly held by Lin Yue, Tang Yin unexpectedly felt a hint of relief amid her faint sorrow.

Had Brother Lin given up resisting?

Perhaps... this was not so bad.

To die together with Brother Lin...

It was just that, if she died, she would never see Brother Lin's face again, nor feel his warmth again...

Several tears slid from the corners of her eyes. Tang Yin revealed a bitter smile, but then suddenly sensed that the heavy Clear Sky Hammer in her right hand seemed to be trembling slightly...

The next instant, a violent killing intent surged madly into her sea of consciousness!

Frenzy, bloodshed, madness, obsession...

Countless insane thoughts echoed through her mind, battering her spirit!

But when she suddenly opened her eyes, she saw that the Purple Demon Eyes had somehow activated. Within those brilliant violet eyes, threads of blood were slowly spreading toward her pupils.

A strand of terrifying pressure slowly began to form behind them.

So this was what Brother Lin felt when he used his martial soul...

As her spirit completely resisted the violent, twisted negative emotions in her mind, Tang Yin suddenly felt herself enter a mysterious and powerful state.

The boiling blood energy that represented Brother Lin swirled around the surface of her body. Threads of blood spread along her body and flowed into the Clear Sky Hammer in her right hand.

"Come. Gather all your strength."

Brother Lin's voice rang out in her mind, causing Tang Yin to slowly raise her right hand.

Their hands remained tightly clasped as a crimson phantom of a demon god appeared behind them!

In its especially solid left hand, a pitch-black hammer was stained by blood energy symbolizing destruction. It expanded with the wind, and layer upon layer of blood threads upon it outlined one terrifying inscription after another—

Pure power of destruction was completely added to the Clear Sky Hammer! It radiated a terrifying fluctuation that made one's heart tremble in fear!!

Hellblood Demon God—Great Annihilation Hammer!

The blood-stained Clear Sky Hammer came crashing down, carrying the force of Qian Jun!

"Roar!!"

Recovering from the shock of the Titled Douluo's aura, the unwillingly roaring Red Flood Dragon Blood Lizard leaped forward and charged straight at the massive hammer descending from above!

That figure, like an ant trying to shake a tree, vanished in an instant beneath the giant hammer's strike!

A terrifying shockwave spread outward from the point where the hammer fell, annihilating everything caught within it!

Everything returned to annihilation!
