Tang Hao Appears

By now, night had fallen. Chu Bai was also somewhat impatient to experience his newfound power, so he said to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo ahead of him, "Elders, my strength has just broken through, and it is already late."

"How about we set off tomorrow morning?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo naturally agreed readily to Chu Bai's request.

Chu Bai then sat down where he was. His Soul Power had now broken through to level forty-five. Although he had yet to fight an opponent at the Soul King level, with the terrifying power of the Pangu Axe, his current combat strength was likely already comparable to a Soul King!

He was not sure of the specifics. After all, he had only tried the Pangu Axe's First Spirit Ability so far. The remaining three Spirit Abilities would only grow more powerful!

"At this rate, becoming a Titled Douluo is just around the corner."

Chu Bai then withdrew the Pangu Axe and began guiding the energy within his body, intending to try summoning his Second Martial Soul. Yet the moment that thought arose, a terrifying energy suddenly burst uncontrollably from his body!

Boom!

A powerful Soul Power fluctuation spread in all directions. Then, amid a hazy chaotic radiance, a blurry phantom emerged behind Chu Bai.

The phantom seemed to stand upon the river of time itself, its gaze awe-inspiring, as though it could suppress everything and sweep through all eternity!

As the chaotic light gradually condensed, it finally formed the same indistinct figure behind Chu Bai. At the same time, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the ground cracked open, making Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo in the distance change expressions and rush over.

"What happened?!" Chrysanthemum Douluo cried out.

"This heart-palpitating fluctuation seems to be emanating from the Holy Son!"

Ghost Douluo's eyes widened.

What could possibly terrify even two Titled Douluo like them?!

"What incredible power. Even without Spirit Rings, it already possesses such terrifying might!"

Chu Bai sighed, then hurriedly withdrew his Second Martial Soul. Merely releasing it had made him feel the Soul Power in his body draining rapidly. It seemed that the price of such immense power was the enormous Soul Power required to sustain it!

"Looks like I need to write more diaries and grow stronger as soon as possible."

Chu Bai murmured.

At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo stepped forward. "Holy Son, what was that just now?"

"It is my Second Martial Soul." Chu Bai rose to his feet with a faint smile.

Second Martial Soul?!

Those words felt like blades stabbing into Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's hearts. The two were utterly shocked before crying out, "The Holy Son actually possesses Twin Martial Souls! His future achievements will be limitless!"

"Don't be surprised yet, Ju Hua Guan. Something's wrong."

Ghost Douluo's expression suddenly grew solemn. Looking behind them, he said in a low voice, "A powerful Soul Power is approaching rapidly. It doesn't look like it's here to make friends..."

"What is going on?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression also darkened. He too sensed it now—a powerful aura that made even him feel apprehensive was approaching. The arrival clearly meant trouble, and was most likely coming for Chu Bai!

"Protect the Holy Son."

Chrysanthemum Douluo began releasing his Martial Soul. Nine Spirit Rings appeared beneath his feet, followed by his Martial Soul condensing in the air—the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!

"Who's there?!" Ghost Douluo demanded. At the same time, he released his Martial Soul. A ghostly shadow surfaced in the darkness, then gathered a bizarre attack and fired it from concealment toward the front!

Boom!

A violent explosion rang out, yet no figure appeared ahead.

"A chrysanthemum and a little ghost. If you have the guts, come at me!"

A deep voice suddenly boomed through the darkness, causing Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to vigilantly surround Chu Bai. Recognizing the familiar phrasing, Chu Bai spoke up as well. "It's Tang Hao."

"Tang Hao? Damn it, I didn't expect to encounter him so soon."

Ghost Douluo's gaze swept forward before he suddenly discovered a figure had appeared in the sky ahead at some unknown time. The figure wore a tattered black robe and held a massive hammer that radiated black light!

"It really is you, Tang Hao!" Chrysanthemum Douluo pointed at Tang Hao. "You have some nerve, daring to attack the Holy Son of Spirit Hall!"

"Holy Son? Hahaha, looks like I've gained quite a harvest! I'll kill him today and make him pay for Ah Yin's life!" Tang Hao was somewhat surprised. Though he had guessed Chu Bai's identity was not simple, he had not expected him to be Spirit Hall's Holy Son.

Chu Bai said to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo at this moment, "Tang Hao is seriously injured right now. As long as we drag the battle out, he will die on his own!"

"Oh?" Ghost Douluo nodded. "If that is the case, then the two of us will have a proper fight with you!"

"Hmph, Tang Hao, since you dared to show yourself, you will die today! Martial Soul Avatar!"

The black Seventh Spirit Ring beneath Chrysanthemum Douluo's feet flashed. The enormous Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum soared into the sky and unleashed Indestructible Vajra Power. Every petal transformed into a sharp blade, blasting toward Tang Hao like a rain of swords that filled the heavens!

Martial Soul Avatar!

The ghostly shadow shot into the sky, perfectly merging with the night. Concealed in the darkness, it carried an immensely terrifying killing intent as it shrouded Tang Hao.

"Hmph, come at me!"

Blood-red light surged around Tang Hao, and the killing intent around him was chilling beyond measure, nearly solidifying into substance. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand rapidly changed, condensing into a gigantic hammer that descended from the heavens moments later!

Boom!

The attacks of both sides collided in midair, unleashing a heaven-shaking explosion. Powerful energy ripples spread outward, forcing Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo back. Yet Tang Hao also seemed to stagger back several steps before snorting coldly and charging toward the rear!

"Trying to run?! Tang Hao, you will die without a doubt today!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance, then both gave chase after Tang Hao!

Chu Bai watched the scene and frowned.

"Since when did Tang Hao become this weak? Even with serious injuries, he shouldn't be getting chased around by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, should he?"

Chu Bai was about to head in the direction Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had left. With his current strength, he was still no match for Tang Hao. If Tang Hao turned back midway to kill him, things would become extremely troublesome.

At the same time.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo watched as Tang Hao's figure flickered ahead, then vanished without a trace!

"Where is he?!" Chrysanthemum Douluo looked around, but there was no movement at all.

Ghost Douluo appeared to be pondering something. Then, as if he had suddenly realized something, his expression turned ugly. "Not good! The Holy Son!"
