Tang Hao Severed His Arm to Survive! The Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Grass Soul Bone!
"Who are you?!"
His hammer strike blocked, Tang Hao retreated warily and demanded an answer.
Kong Deming chuckled and stroked his graying beard.
"I am Kong Deming, an elder of the Sun Moon Sect!"
As he spoke, Kong Deming glanced to one side. Gui Mei was hidden in space there.
Gui Mei's little spatial trick was child's play to Kong Deming, who excelled at spatial powers. His Silver Moon martial soul was exceptionally strong in that regard.
"The Sun Moon Sect?"
Tang Hao froze. "Since when has there been a Sun Moon Sect on the continent?"
Kong Deming laughed. "My Sun Moon Sect has only just emerged. I never imagined the continent's other Titled Douluo would be shameless enough to try to kill youngsters."
Tang Hao looked distinctly uncomfortable.
A Titled Douluo attacking a Soul Emperor and a Soul King was underhanded.
Tang Hao immediately replied in a deep voice:
"I am Tang Hao. I became a Titled Douluo at forty-four. If your two brats hadn't attacked my son... these children for no reason today, why would I have intervened?!"
As he spoke,
a trace of pride surfaced on Tang Hao's face.
He was the youngest Titled Douluo on the continent. That was his claim to fame.
Kong Deming shook his head with a laugh.
"Oh? Is becoming a Titled Douluo at forty-four supposed to be impressive? I did it at forty, and I had to devote time to Soul Tools besides."
"I've known someone who reached the peak of Soul Douluo at twenty-six."
"These two juniors of mine are a sixteen-year-old Soul Emperor and a fifteen-year-old Soul King. Do you still think becoming a Titled Douluo at forty-four is impressive?"
Tang Hao's eyes widened.
On the ground,
Dai Mubai, Zhao Wuji, and the others stared in disbelief.
Was this a joke?
A peak Soul Douluo at twenty-six and a Titled Douluo at forty!
This... this...
Zhao Wuji looked at Huo Yuhao and Li Chen.
He had assumed they only looked young. Now that Kong Deming had revealed they were just fifteen and sixteen, a chill ran through him.
After all,
Dai Mubai and the others were nearly fifteen themselves.
Yet they were only a little above level thirty.
And even so,
Flender had handpicked Dai Mubai and the others from countless candidates.
How could Kong Deming's two juniors
be so far ahead of them?!
"Impossible!"
Tang Hao gritted his teeth. "No one has ever heard of your Sun Moon Sect. How could it have talents like that?!"
Kong Deming
didn't care in the slightest.
"My Sun Moon Sect has lived in seclusion for years. I never expected the rest of you to be so ignorant. Why would I lie about this?"
"Believe it or don't. I have no time to argue. You heard what my boy said. Cut off your own limbs and hand over your Soul Bones, and I'll let you live!"
Kong Deming snorted,
and the Silver Moon Domain spread outward!
Silver moonlight washed over the earth, eclipsing even the sun's radiance.
Tang Hao and the others felt as though space had turned to thick glue, making every movement heavy and slow.
"We're done for..."
Zhao Wuji clutched his head. He had thought everything was settled once Clear Sky Douluo appeared. Who would have guessed these two young men had a Titled Douluo behind them too?
And
from the looks of it,
his Soul Power Level was even higher than Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao's!
This Domain Skill made his martial soul look like a top-tier one at the very least!
"Clear Sky Douluo, what do we do now?"
Zhao Wuji asked anxiously.
"Useless fool! You're losing your nerve over this?"
Tang Hao glanced back and rebuked him, remaining calm.
Back then,
he and Ah Yin had been hunted by Spirit Hall. He had fought three Titled Douluo alone, and he hadn't been afraid even though he wasn't a Titled Douluo yet.
In the end, he had fought his way out and even dealt a fatal blow to Spirit Hall's Pope at the time, Qian Xunji.
Now
there was only one Titled Douluo facing him.
So what if his opponent's Soul Power was a few levels higher? What was there to fear?
Tang Hao had spent his life winning battles against the odds!
"You old fool. I gave you a chance, but you wouldn't take it. And you want my Soul Bones? Take this hammer instead!"
"Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer!"
Tang Hao's clothes whipped around him as he shed his slovenly drunkard's bearing. Wielding his red Clear Sky Hammer, he struck at Kong Deming.
"Interesting. You can still move."
Kong Deming smiled but made no move to dodge.
"Die!"
Tang Hao brought his hammer down with all his strength. But instead of knocking Kong Deming back as he expected, something else happened.
To his shock, his strike missed!
Just as the Clear Sky Hammer's massive head was about to hit Kong Deming, it veered aside and struck nothing but air.
"I don't believe it! Again!"
Tang Hao used the momentum to turn, spinning a hundred and eighty degrees before bringing his hammer down once more.
He missed again.
"What's going on? Has Clear Sky Douluo been drinking too much cheap liquor all these years...? How can he miss from that close?"
Zhao Wuji stared, dumbfounded.
Something's wrong!
A sense of foreboding gripped Tang Hao. He unleashed his full strength and hammered down over a hundred times in one burst. Not a single blow hit Kong Deming.
The essence of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer was that each strike grew stronger than the last. Tang Hao had stacked over a hundred blows, yet still couldn't touch his opponent. Panic began to creep in.
Kong Deming smiled and pointed at his forehead. "Forgot where to aim? Right here."
"Divine Slaughter's Domain! Clear Sky Avatar!"
Tang Hao's heart sank. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hands became a gigantic black hammer. At the same time, blood-red killing intent filled the air as he unleashed the Divine Slaughter's Domain, boosting his attack power again!
"Take this!"
Gripping the massive Clear Sky Hammer with both hands, Tang Hao spun a full circle and swung at Kong Deming!
The blow carried such force that the gale it stirred nearly blew Gui Mei out of hiding in the distance.
Yet
Kong Deming stood perfectly still, unperturbed.
Hum!
The instant the giant hammer was about to hit Kong Deming, it vanished!
A moment later, it appeared behind Tang Hao and smashed him into the ground with his own strike!
"Clear Sky Douluo!"
Zhao Wuji struggled to his feet and cried out anxiously.
"Cough, cough!"
The Clear Sky Hammer shrank. Tang Hao climbed out of the ground, coughing up blood.
Hammer in hand, he didn't dare move for a moment.
There's something strange about this guy!
Tang Hao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, on full alert.
"So that old man's domain doesn't just restrain his enemies. It can redirect attacks too!"
Zhao Wuji's face went pale. "Th-then what do we do?"
Tang Hao panted, his gaze shifting to Tang San in Huo Yuhao's grip.
If what that old man said is true, the Sun Moon Sect must be terrifyingly powerful. I can't let them take San. I might never get him back.
Tang Hao made up his mind.
The next moment,
nine Soul Rings appeared beneath his feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!
"Great Sumeru Hammer! Ring Detonation!"
Two black Soul Rings and one red Soul Ring beneath Tang Hao shattered!
The next moment,
his aura surged.
The Clear Sky Hammer erupted with dazzling red light. Tang Hao leaped into the air and brought it down toward Kong Deming.
Not good!
This sudden burst of power rivaled a strike from a Super Douluo, perhaps even a level ninety-eight Douluo.
Kong Deming's eyes widened. A silver barrier appeared before him—one of the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield's abilities.
Boom!
Tang Hao's earth-shaking strike crashed into the silver barrier.
Even space trembled. Cracks spread across the barrier, but the strike had spent its force. Kong Deming snorted and prepared to retaliate.
Seizing the opening, Tang Hao gritted his teeth and turned. He rushed straight at Huo Yuhao, snatched Tang San away, and sped toward the edge of the domain.
Without the support of the Soul Engineer Corps, Kong Deming had been caught off guard by Tang Hao's sudden burst of power.
Tang Hao actually broke free.
"Trying to run?!"
The silver barrier before Kong Deming fired a beam, releasing the power it had absorbed from the Great Sumeru Hammer. It struck Tang Hao directly!
"Argh!"
Tang Hao screamed. His left arm and left leg vanished, and a small wooden box fell from his robes.
But he didn't dare look back. Riding the force of the blow, he clutched Tang San and shot into the distance, disappearing beyond the horizon.
