Path Guardians of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Formidable Invincible Golden Body

The people who suddenly appeared surrounded Lin Xiao and Ning Rongrong, shielding them.

At the same time, they watched Tang Hao ahead of them warily.

Tang Hao stopped when he saw them appear. "Not bad. Someone still remembers me."

"You're Path Guardians of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"We are. Your Excellency Haotian, isn't it going too far to target two children?"

The eldest Path Guardian revealed his Soul Rings.

He was a Soul Saint.

The others revealed their Soul Rings as well: three Soul Saints and five Soul Emperors in total.

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up. As expected, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had assigned Path Guardians to Ning Rongrong.

And their levels were nothing to scoff at.

With a lineup like this, they could escape unscathed from almost anyone short of a Titled Douluo.

And across the vast Douluo Continent, Titled Douluo were hardly easy to run into.

Tang Hao showed no sign of panic before the Path Guardians of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He simply did not want to offend the sect.

It was one of the Upper Three Sects, after all.

Souring relations with it would do him no good.

It might even endanger his son.

"Target two children? No. I only came to give a small warning."

"And it's meant only for Lin Xiao. I won't touch Ning Rongrong."

He had made himself perfectly clear.

Lin Xiao was his target!

Lin Xiao laughed inwardly. He had a fair idea what this was about.

It was Xiao Wu.

Tang Hao had seen through Xiao Wu's identity long ago.

He had let Xiao Wu stay by Tang San's side so they could develop feelings for each other, then have Xiao Wu sacrifice herself in the future.

That way, Tang San would obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

The old bastard was as devious as they came.

Just as when he had schemed against Ah Yin, he was a self-serving man down to the last detail.

"May I ask how I offended Your Excellency Haotian, for you to go to the trouble of stopping me in person?"

Lin Xiao spoke up.

"Seniors, His Excellency Haotian is here for me. Please take Rongrong away."

At those words, the Path Guardians' expressions changed slightly.

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened.

Take her away?

"Lin Xiao, you..."

Before Ning Rongrong could say more, two Path Guardians pulled her behind them.

The elderly Soul Saint turned and patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder.

"You're a lad willing to take responsibility."

"But now that we're here, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can't stand by and do nothing."

"Your Excellency Haotian, targeting a child like this will make you a laughingstock, won't it?"

They were Path Guardians from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, after all.

Even with the pressure of a Titled Douluo bearing down on them, they would not simply bow their heads.

It was not as if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lacked a Titled Douluo of its own.

If matters truly came to blows, they could use a secret art to call for help. Sword Douluo would rush over at once.

Then things would get ugly.

Seven Treasure City was some distance away.

But Sword Douluo could fly on his sword and arrive before long.

Tang Hao's brow furrowed.

These people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had backbone.

He had expected them to leave with Ning Rongrong. Instead, they wanted to interfere.

That made things troublesome.

And the longer this dragged on, the more likely something unexpected would happen.

He needed to finish it quickly.

"I only have a few words of warning for the boy. Once I've said them, I'll leave."

"Surely my friends from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect won't stop even that?"

"Well..."

The Path Guardians hesitated for a moment.

Truthfully, if a fight broke out, they could not stop Tang Hao.

Every one of them might even die here.

Avoiding a fight would be best.

"Your Excellency Haotian, say whatever you have to say here."

In the end, the elderly Soul Saint made his choice. They did not leave.

Tang Hao frowned. These people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect simply would not budge.

Time was running out. Any further delay would spell trouble.

"Very well. I'll say it plainly."

"Lin Xiao, Xiao Wu is not someone you can set your sights on. Stay away from her from now on."

"If you keep pestering her, I'll take your life!"

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

What the hell?

The great Clear Sky Douluo had shown up just for this?

What a joke.

The Path Guardians could not understand it.

They knew Xiao Wu. She was a Shrek student and was on good terms with their young lady.

So Tang Hao had appeared in person just to keep Lin Xiao from associating with Xiao Wu?

Lin Xiao smiled. That old bastard Tang Hao really did stick his nose everywhere.

In that case, he might as well provoke him a little.

With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's people here, he certainly would not die.

Even Tang Hao had to show the sect some respect.

"Your Excellency Haotian, whom I choose to befriend is my business. I don't believe it's yours to decide."

Tang Hao flew into a rage. "Arrogant brat! Do you have a death wish?"

As he spoke, he thrust a palm at Lin Xiao from a distance.

The Path Guardians immediately prepared to use their Soul Skills.

Though the palm strike was no Soul Skill and carried no great surge of Soul Power, it was still not something a twelve-year-old boy could withstand.

Bang!

Tang Hao's palm strike was blocked.

Just as the Path Guardians breathed a secret sigh of relief, Tang Hao's voice sounded beside Lin Xiao.

"Boy, I'll cripple you today and teach you that a Titled Douluo is not yours to insult!"

The Path Guardians were startled.

The great Clear Sky Douluo was this petty?

He would actually strike down a child?

It was too late for them to come to Lin Xiao's aid.

Yet Lin Xiao did not panic in the slightest as Tang Hao's palm came crashing down.

"Invincible Golden Body!"

With the abilities he had now, this was the only Soul Skill he could use.

It was a Soul Skill invincible against anything below godhood. Even at his peak, Tang Hao could not break through its defense.

A golden light flashed over Lin Xiao, and a round golden barrier enveloped him in an instant.

Bang!

Tang Hao's palm slammed heavily into the barrier.

A deafening crash rang out. The barrier did not budge, but Tang Hao was thrown back more than a dozen meters before he came to a stop.

"What... what Soul Skill is that?"

Tang Hao's pupils contracted sharply.

He was a Titled Douluo, yet he could not shatter the boy's defensive Soul Skill with a single palm strike?

The Path Guardians were dumbfounded too.

A thirty-year-old Soul Master had withstood a Titled Douluo's attack?

But they quickly came to their senses and formed a protective circle around Lin Xiao.

At the same time, they used a secret art to alert their sect.

If Tang Hao was going to be this shameless, they would call for backup.

They could only hope to hold out until Sword Douluo arrived.

Tang Hao had failed with one strike, and he had no intention of stopping.

Lin Xiao was too strange. The boy could not be allowed to live!

He might even have to eliminate these people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

If he destroyed their bodies and wiped away all traces, who would know he had done it?

But to his surprise, the barrier around Lin Xiao suddenly expanded, enveloping the Path Guardians and Ning Rongrong as well.

"What a shameless Titled Douluo. But this barrier isn't something you can break."

"Suotuo City isn't far from here. How long do you think it'll take Spirit Hall's people to arrive?"

With the enhanced Invincible Golden Body, Lin Xiao was not worried in the slightest.

Invincible Golden Body granted an extra minute of invincibility for every ten levels and increased his strength tenfold.

He had drawn this skill when he had no Soul Power.

That meant his Invincible Golden Body now lasted three and a half minutes.

And it could increase his strength fortyfold.

Of course, even forty times his strength was no match for Tang Hao.

But holding out until people from Suotuo City arrived would certainly be no problem.

Lin Xiao's words made the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wipe the sweat from their brows.

This boy had nerves of steel.

He was even threatening Tang Hao?

But they had to admit, that threat was exactly what they needed to get out of their immediate predicament.
