This time, facing Tang Hao's fierce attack, Qi Ling did not choose to resist head-on. Instead, she seemed to turn into a falling leaf and retreated along with Tang Hao's offensive, while secretly making a hand gesture.
Unfortunately, Tang Hao, being Titled Douluo, possessed astonishing eyesight. Tang Hao Qi Ling's subtle movements did not escape his notice, and he instantly understood Qi Ling intentions.
The two small arrows that Qi Ling had just shot down did not actually lose their purpose. Under Qi Ling's control, they used their tracking ability to attack Tang Hao from behind.
Faced with a sneak attack from behind, the experienced Tang Hao did not turn around to deal with it, because Qi Ling was obviously using a special movement technique. As long as he showed the slightest flaw, Qi Ling would definitely turn from retreat to counterattack.
At this moment, Tang Hao fully demonstrated the power of Titled Douluo. His Soul Power suddenly surged, and then he let out a loud roar, which sounded like a thunderclap.
Using this momentum, Tang Hao instantly blocked the two sneak-attack arrows, and Qi Ling discovered that her body was temporarily paralyzed by the surging Soul Power!
Before he could tell whether Tang Hao had blocked his Soul Power or paralyzed his muscles, Tang Hao, with a slight smile, swung his hammer at Qi Ling's face.
From the moment of being ambushed to being outmaneuvered, only a brief instant passed. Qi Ling had no time to mount any defense and was struck squarely by Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang Hao, who had just landed a successful blow, now wore a look of astonishment, because Qi Ling, one of his men, suddenly turned into a phantom under his hammer and gradually disappeared.
True Dragon Secret Technique: Cicada Shell! Faced with Tang Hao's immense pressure, Qi Ling had no choice but to use her life-saving technique, instantly appearing above Tang Hao and kicking him.
Caught off guard, Tang Hao was kicked in the shoulder by Qi Ling, causing him to kneel down on one knee. Just as Qi Ling was about to launch another attack, the Clear Sky Hammer came hurtling towards him again, forcing him into the sky.
Once in the air, Qi Ling clasped her hands together and pulled out a powerful spear from her palms. Taking advantage of the moment Tang Hao stood up, she threw it at him.
With the Overbearing Dragon Spear, even Tang Hao dared not take it head-on with his body, so he had no choice but to meet it with the Clear Sky Hammer.
The two collided, unleashing a powerful impact. Originally, this was not an unstoppable attack for Tang Hao, but at this moment, a look of pain suddenly appeared on his face, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand flew out uncontrollably.
Although Qi Ling didn't know what had happened, she understood that this was a rare opportunity. Tang Hao, who had lost his Clear Sky Hammer, was undoubtedly the best chance for her to defeat him. So Qi Ling didn't hesitate and rushed towards Tang Hao from the air.
Faced with the aggressive Qi Ling, Tang Hao calmly stood up, his pupils suddenly contracted, and an extremely cold aura spread from his body until it enveloped Qi Ling.
This aura didn't have any explosive power, but Qi Ling felt an endless killing intent attacking him from all directions, instantly making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Heh, the Divine Slaughter's Domain? Impressive indeed." Qi Ling chuckled inwardly. "What a coincidence, I know that move too!"
Fifth Soul Skill: Dragon Dominates the World!
Instantly, a powerful aura emanated from Qi Ling, like a vast ocean, dispersing the chilling killing intent.
This was the first time Tang Hao had encountered a situation where his Divine Slaughter's Domain had been broken, leaving him momentarily vulnerable. This was precisely the opportunity Qi Ling had been looking for.
Second Soul Skill: Tyrant Dragon Fist!
Unarmed, Tang Hao had no choice but to use his iron fists to defend against Qi Ling's attacks. The two exchanged blows, but due to various unfavorable factors, it was Tang Hao was forced to retreat this time.
Tang Hao stumbled back three steps before regaining his footing. Looking at Qi Ling before him, he couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Hahaha, Qi Ling, you're quite something! Since I became Titled Douluo, you're the first person to force me to retreat!"
"That was great! Let's do it again!"
Just as the two were about to clash again, Tang Hao's expression suddenly changed drastically, his body involuntarily stopped, and he covered his mouth, a trickle of blood flowing down the corner of his lips.
Seeing Tang Hao injured, Qi Ling immediately stopped her attack and asked in alarm, " Uncle Hao, what happened to you? Are you alright?"
As she spoke, Qi Ling ran to Tang Hao and hurriedly grabbed his wrist, but her expression changed instantly. " Uncle Hao, your injuries... how did they get so serious!"
Tang Hao laughed heartily and said, "These injuries are nothing to worry about. Come on, let's continue!"
" Uncle Hao, your injuries are so severe, how can you still fight? You should rest quickly!" Qi Ling said helplessly.
Just then, Tang San arrived and said, "Yes, Dad, don't push yourself. Let's end your match here."
Although Tang Hao was unwilling, his injuries were no longer enough for him to continue fighting, so he had no choice but to stop.
"I'm sorry, Qi Ling, it's such a rare duel, but it had to be stopped halfway because of me. It wasn't very satisfying!" Tang Hao said. "Let's have another duel another time."
At this moment, Qi Ling felt extremely guilty. She hadn't noticed Tang Hao's injuries and had even agreed to a duel with him, which had only made Tang Hao's situation worse.
" Uncle Hao, don't worry, rest well. Xiao San and I will definitely heal your injuries! When that time comes, we'll fight again!" Qi Ling said.
The injuries in Tang Hao's body were chronic ailments that had accumulated over many years, eventually forming a severe injury capable of crippling Titled Douluo.
Such an injury cannot be cured in one go; it can only be improved through long-term recuperation and rest for Tang Hao himself.
Therefore, for Tang Hao's sake, Tang San, Qi Ling, and Tang Hao made a three-point agreement: he was not allowed to take action again until a cure was found.
" Uncle Hao, logically speaking, you shouldn't have had any opportunities to fight with anyone during this time, since Xiao San's cultivation should have been in a safe situation," Qi Ling said. "You wouldn't have gone to Qian Xunji during this time, would you?"
Tang Hao couldn't possibly be unaware of Qian Xunji's injury. As someone who harbors deep hatred for Qian Xunji, Tang Hao wouldn't miss such an opportunity. Therefore, Qi Ling deduced that he must have gone to seek revenge on Qian Xunji.
Although Qian Xunji's strength was damaged, all the Titled Douluo around him were alive and well, and even the elders of the Elder Hall intervened. It is likely that Tang Hao did not gain any advantage in his quest for revenge.
