Crippling the Tang Father and Son! The Silver-Haired Girl Who Fell into His Arms
Boom!
Gu Yuena's right wrist trembled, Silver Dragon Spear, wrapped in a torrent of seven-colored elements and silver spatial laws, transformed into a ten-zhang-thick silver thunderbolt, piercing head-on into the center of the crack in the hundred-zhang-thick blood-red Haotian Giant Hammer.
Tang Hao detonated three ten-thousand-year black rings and one hundred-thousand-year Ah Yin Soul Ring in succession, and the hundred-foot-long blood-red Clear Sky True Body he condensed exploded into a rain of dark red light in the sky.
"Ugh!"
Tang Hao, suspended in mid-air, let out a bloodcurdling howl like a wild beast.
The rainbow-colored residual force from the spear tip grazed his blocking arms before slamming into his chest.
Tang Hao's clothes instantly turned to ashes, and his burly body plummeted headfirst from a height of thirty feet, crashing heavily into the broken wall of the Meridian Gate behind him, where Tang San was nailed.
The violent, multicolored shockwave shattered the three-meter-high Blue Stone wall.
Tang San, pinned to the wall by two ice and fire bone spears, didn't even utter a sound before being thrown more than twenty feet away by the flying rocks.
The father and son rolled together in the rubble and bloody mud, convulsing and unable to get up.
Fifty thousand inner court rebels, a hundred royal retainers, along with Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo in mid-air, all stared at the silver-haired woman in mid-air with shivers down their spines.
Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo who had detonated his 100,000-year-old spirit ring, was crippled by a single shot from this mysterious woman who appeared by tearing through space.
"Brother Hao!"
"Quickly save Tang Hao and Tang San! Retreat, retreat to the back of the Tai Chi Hall!"
The Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, who had been tightly binding Chen Xin in mid-air, were annihilated.
Faced with an existence that was not even in the realm of mortal Titled Douluo, the two dared not linger in battle. They immediately feinted a hammer strike to force Chen Xin back, then transformed into two streaks of black light and rushed toward the ruins behind them.
One person grabbed the unconscious Tang Hao, while the other picked up the barely breathing Tang San, and they fled in panic into the depths of the palace.
"Want to leave?"
Gu Yuena's purple eyes flashed with a cold light, and she was about to swing the Silver Dragon Spear again to annihilate those ants who dared to attack the descendant of the Dragon Clan's progenitor.
The moment she activated a wisp of spatial law with her fingertips, a sharp sword cry, audible only to herself, suddenly erupted from the deepest part of her soul and Divine Core.
That was the primordial Asura Divine Lightning and sword energy that remained in the body of the Dragon God after the Asura God Sword cleaved the Dragon God's body during the great war in the Divine Realm ten thousand years ago.
For the past ten thousand years, she has been lurking at the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, using all her power to seal and suppress this old wound.
Sensing that Su Chen was facing a dead end, she forcibly tore through a thousand-mile spatial barrier to descend, and then used the Dragon God God's elemental origin to withstand Tang Hao's ten-thousand-year-old Ring Detonation attack, and shattered Clear Sky True Body in a counterattack. This had already exceeded the limit of the power she could safely use at the moment.
The silver seal suppressing the old injury within his body cracked open, and a violent, dark red Asura Sword Qi suddenly surged back through his Meridians.
Gu Yuena let out a muffled groan, her face instantly turning deathly pale, and a trickle of silver divine blood, shimmering with iridescent light, seeped from the corner of her lips.
The Silver Dragon Spear in her hand let out a mournful cry, turning into specks of silver light and dissipating. The seven-colored divine power surrounding her also receded like a tide.
In order to protect itself, the source of divine power automatically went into hibernation and was sealed. Gu Yuena's tall adult divine body rapidly shrank in the soft silver light, and her silver hair, which had reached her ankles, shrank to her waist. In the blink of an eye, she transformed into a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl wearing a wide silver dress.
Her breath hit rock bottom, her body went limp, and she plummeted straight down from mid-air.
"Careful!"
Below, Su Chen's eyes flashed with a purple-gold light.
He was in excruciating pain in his left shoulder and his dragon scales were cracking all over his body. When he saw Gu Yuena falling, he gritted his teeth, propped himself up on one knee, and suddenly leaped half a zhang into the air with his legs. He opened his blood-stained arms and caught her steadily in his arms.
The girl's body felt cool against my skin, carrying a delicate, refreshing fragrance like that of a snow lotus.
The backlash from her old wounds in the Divine Realm brought intense stinging pain and a chilling cold, Gu Yuena's long, silver eyelashes to tremble incessantly.
The Silver Dragon King, who had always regarded humans as ants, felt no rejection as he smelled the aura of the primordial bloodline of the Chaos Ancestral Dragon emanating from Su Chen's chest and the warm current of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings's essence flowing within him. Instead, like a frozen young dragon finding a warm nest, he instinctively gripped the blood-stained collar of Su Chen's neck, and absorbed the Pure Yang Dragon Qi that could soothe the restlessness of the Asura Sword Qi.
"You... how can you have the bloodline of the progenitor within you... Take me away, I can't suppress the injuries within me anymore..."
Gu Yuena's voice was weak, trembling like never before. As soon as she finished speaking, her pale purple dragon eyes slowly closed, and she fell into a semi-conscious, self-sealing state.
A golden-red notification box silently appeared in Su Chen's mind.
[Ding! Successfully triggered Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena to cross thousands of miles to protect her master, directly shattering Tang Hao's 100,000-year-old Great Sumeru Hammer and severely injuring Tang Hao and his son, while also plundering a large amount of the Plane Core the Douluo plane! Triggered a God-Level Critical Hit reward!]
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained one drop of the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Marrow of Chaos! You have also obtained one Soul Bone Age Enhancement Card (20,000 years)! And two God-Level Barrier-Breaking Pill!]
The Chaos Ancestral Dragon Marrow rewarded by the system melted in his heart, and a powerful pure yang warm current rushed into his limbs and bones, firmly blocking the Netherworld Blood Poison that was about to invade his heart from under his left collarbone. It also instantly restored about 30 Soul Power Su Chen's depleted Meridians.
Su Chen glanced down at the silver-haired girl clutching his clothes tightly in his arms, and immediately understood.
No wonder the Silver Dragon King, who was sleeping in the Star Dou Great Forest, did not continue to attack after crippling Tang Hao with one shot. It turned out that his old wounds from the Divine Realm had backfired, causing him to fall into a weakened form as a human girl.
"Su Chen!"
"Captain, are you alright?"
Xiao Wu and the others, who had been thrown overboard by the Ring Detonation wave at the breach in the city wall, scrambled up from the rubble and rushed to Su Chen's side.
Qian Renxue looked at Su Chen's shattered crimson-gold dragon scales and the dark wound on his left shoulder, then glanced at the silver-haired girl with his left arm around him. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she didn't have time to ask any more questions. She said urgently, "Su Chen, Tang Hao has already been rescued by the Second Elder, but there are still 50,000 rebels and people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in the inner palace. Your injuries can't be delayed any longer. We must break through and leave the palace immediately!"
"Anyone who dares to block our path will be killed without mercy!"
In mid-air, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, was greatly encouraged after witnessing Tang Hao's serious injury and escape, and the two elders of the Clear Sky Sect's hasty retreat. His suppressed Sword Intent suddenly erupted.
The hundred-foot-long Seven Killings Sword slashed down from the sky, and the Imperial Family guard formation, which had lost the presence of Titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect, collapsed instantly.
Two Heaven Dou Imperial Family, both Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, who were unable to dodge in time, had their Martial Soul Avatar cleaved in two by Chen Xin's sword, their blood splattering across the sky.
"Hahaha! That old dog Tang Hao ran away with his tail between his legs!"
Outside the Meridian Gate's Dragon-Severing Gate, the level 95 Bone Douluo Gu Rong, laughed wildly to the sky. A hundred-zhang-tall giant bone dragon smashed the remaining stone wall of the palace gate with a single claw, tearing through space to extend its white bone claw, grabbing Dugu Bo She Long and Ci Xue, and dragging them back to the center of the square.
Dugu Bo, panting heavily, flung out a large cloud of dark green Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison, forcing Yu Luomian and hundreds of rebel assassins chasing behind him to retreat in a frenzy of screams.
"The Nine Treasures Have Names: First: Strength! Second: Speed!"
Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling immediately understood, and the amplifying divine light of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the healing light rain of the Red-Gold Dragon-Pattern Begonia simultaneously fell on everyone.
Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan flanked Su Chen and Qian Renxue. Wherever the Netherworld Claw and the Waist Bow Soft Technique passed, the terrified rebel soldiers fell in droves.
Su Chen steadily supported the weakened Gu Yuena in his arms with his left arm. Taking advantage of the moment when he turned to break through, he paused slightly and extended his right hand, using the Pure Yang Dragon Aura to create a suction force. He then sucked in the few blood-stained golden chrysanthemum petals that had fallen from the edge of the pit where Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan had just perished, and put them into the Wishful Treasure Pouch at his waist.
Yue Guan died protecting him, and these few blood-stained petals of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum are the only relics he left behind in this world.
"Let's go! To the Iron Fortress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School!"
With Chen Xin's protection, Ning Fengzhi rushed to Su Chen's side. Looking at the devastated Meridian Gate and the surging tide of rebel troops gathering from the direction of the Tai Chi Hall in the distance, he decisively ordered, "Since Xue Xing dared to join forces with the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Sect to murder the emperor and seize the throne, the four gate garrisons within Heaven Dou City have likely already been infiltrated and controlled by them! We will retreat to the fortress first, then mobilize the sect's main army for a counterattack!"
"Alright, let's go to the southern fortress!"
Without hesitation, Su Chen forcefully summoned the thirty percent of Pure Yang Dragon Aura that had just recovered within his body. Five ten-thousand-year-old black rings beneath his feet shimmered slightly as he joined Gu Yuena and the others.
Level 96 Sword Douluo Chen Xin led the way, Level 95 Bone Douluo Gu Rong covered the rear, and Level 92 Poison Douluo Dugu Bo provided cover by releasing poison on both flanks.
The three Titled Douluo, along with Su Chen and his group, fought their way through the ruins of the Royal Heavy Knights Meridian Gate, cutting their way through the five-mile-long Southern Imperial Street of the Imperial City.
The city defense generals who tried to set up roadblocks along the way were so frightened by the sight of Chen Xin's bleeding Seven Kill Sword and Dugu Bo's titled Poison Mist that their legs went weak. They dropped their weapons and fled in panic, with no one daring to step forward to stop them.
Two quarters of an hour later, the group rushed out of the south gate of the Heaven Dou Imperial City and stepped into the Glazed Tile Iron Wall Fortress, which was ten miles south of the city and backed by steep mountains.
This giant military fortress was constructed entirely of granite and steel. The walls were 15 zhang high, and the top of the walls was densely covered with thousands of Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and heavy ballistae made by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Five thousand elite armored soldiers loyal to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were stationed there.
"Activate the highest-level Nine Treasure Glazed Tile City-Protecting Grand Array! Seal the four gates of the fortress; no one is allowed to enter without authorization!"
Ning Fengzhi revealed the sect leader's token and gave an order. The entire fortress roared into action, and a layer of seven-colored glazed light shield, several meters thick, shot into the sky, covering the defense zone within a radius of ten miles, making it as solid as a rock.
Everyone turned around and looked towards the Heaven Dou Imperial City, which was ten miles away.
Above the Tai Chi Hall of the Imperial Palace, the nine-ringed funeral bell, symbolizing the passing of Xue Ye and the ascension of the new emperor, finally tolled. Banners adorned with the Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon emblem were openly planted atop the walls of the Heaven Dou Imperial City.
The Heaven Dou Empire has undergone a dramatic change.
The continent-wide elite tournament of high-level Soul Master Academy was shattered in this bloody upheaval of regicide and usurpation. The various forces on the Douluo Continent overturned the chessboard ahead of schedule, thus beginning the prelude to a chaotic struggle for supremacy.
As soon as he landed in front of the main hall of the fortress, Dugu Bo swayed and handed She Long and Ci Xue, whose bones were broken all over their shoulders, to the fortress physician who came to greet him. He then clutched the charred and blackened lightning wound on his left rib, which was deep enough to expose the bone, and slumped down on the stone steps with a pale face.
As Su Chen, who was walking at the front, stepped into the main hall, his nerves, which had been tense all the way, relaxed. The half-inch fragment of the Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Yama's Invitation, which was broken into flesh and blood below his left collarbone, and the Netherworld Heart's Blood Poison, suddenly broke through the temporary blockade of the Origin Dragon Marrow after the blood and qi surge during the battle ceased.
The Black-Purple poisonous patterns spread rapidly upwards along the blood vessels in his left neck, causing him to lose sensation on the left side of his body and stagger.
A small, dark red sword mark appeared between the eyebrows of Gu Yuena, whom he was holding with his left arm. The icy, turbulent spatial currents emanated uncontrollably from her body, freezing Su Chen's chest with a layer of frost.
"Su Chen!"
"Captain! Your wound has turned black!"
Ning Rongrong, who was following behind, immediately changed her expression.
Qian Renxue and Xiao Wu rushed forward, one on each side, to restrain Su Chen.
Ye Lingling's palm flashed with Red-Gold Dragon-Pattern Begonia light, and she shouted in a trembling voice, "It's the residual poison from the Yama's Invitation needles mixed with the backlash from that silver-haired girl's body! Quick! Help the captain into the quiet room underground in the fortress; we must force the Poison Needles out immediately!"
The crowd rushed forward anxiously, hurrying towards the tightly closed underground chamber made of Black Iron behind the main hall.
