The Plan Failed

An unimaginable, terrifying pressure emanated from the enormous Clear Sky Hammer in the sky. Upon seeing this, Bibi Dong and the other two exchanged glances and understood Tang Hao's purpose: he intended to destroy the Pope's Palace.

"Its power is even more terrifying than during the previous battle in the canyon. Tang Hao is too strong."

Shui Xinrou and Ice Empress blocked the remaining power of the Great Sumeru Hammer. Ice Empress, who had fought Tang Hao before, was somewhat impressed, as the power of this hammer was much stronger than before.

"Quick, stop him!!!"

Bibi Dong had no time to worry about the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast she longed for. At this moment, she had only one goal: to block Tang Hao's hammer blow. Otherwise, if the Pope's Palace was destroyed, how could the Spirit Hall have any face to stand on the Douluo Continent?

Bibi Dong and the other two took to the air, facing the terrifying Great Sumeru Hammer. Even with the three Titled Douluo joining forces, they could only manage a draw with Tang Hao. The power of the continent's number one Tool Martial Soul was now fully revealed.

"Ridiculous! You think you can stop me? Today, I'll make your Spirit Hall pay me some interest first. In the future, I'll collect it all! Great Sumeru Hammer, blast!!!"

As Tang Hao swung the Clear Sky Hammer in the sky, his voice rang out. Of the nine Soul Ring that appeared on his body, the three innermost Soul Ring instantly exploded and disappeared, turning into a stream of energy that merged into the Clear Sky Hammer.

When this energy merged into the Clear Sky Hammer, Bibi Dong and the other two immediately felt the pressure increase exponentially. Yue Guan and Gui Mei were the first to be unable to withstand it, spitting out blood under the immense pressure and falling to the ground from the sky.

"Bibi Dong, you truly live up to your reputation as an outsider who became the Pope of the Spirit Hall. Unfortunately for you, today, no one can stop me. Keep bombing!!!"

With a roar from Tang Hao, three more of his Soul Ring vanished instantly, making the power of the Clear Sky Hammer even more terrifying. Finally, blood trickled from Bibi Dong's lips, and she was on the verge of being overwhelmed.

At this moment, several streams of energy at the Titled Douluo level appeared in the Worship Hall, meeting the Clear Sky Hammer, which allowed Bibi Dong to continue the stalemate with Tang Hao.

Just then, Tang Hao sensed a familiar aura behind him. This aura was as cold as ice from the heavens, so cold that a layer of icy mist instantly spread across his body.

"Ice Empress's Sting!"

The figure that appeared behind Tang Hao was none other than the Ice Empress. At this moment, she no longer concealed her true form. Her long, dark green hair was draped over her body, and her pair of fair and delicate hands condensed terrifying frost energy, transforming into a pair of scorpion claws, which attacked Tang Hao.

"It's you! It's actually you!"

Tang Hao felt the coldness and the familiar attack coming from behind him. He turned his head to look at Ice Empress and immediately recognized the person. It was the woman who had always been by Yu Tianshuang's side in the Skywater Academy.

Ice Empress's striking dark green hair was truly eye-catching. With Xiao Wu Wu's support, Tang San immediately understood everything. It turned out that the mysterious person who fought with his father in the canyon was the beautiful girl beside Yu Tianshuang.

"Yu Tianshuang, it was you! You planned everything! How cruel you are!"

Tang San immediately understood everything. From the attack in the canyon to Xiao Wu's exposure, and now the sneak attack on his father at this crucial moment, all of these things were related to Yu Tianshuang, and it was all part of his plan.

Thinking of this, Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot with hatred. He took out the Godly Zhuge Crossbow from his waist and fired a barrage of shots at Yu Tianshuang's location, but Shui Xinrou blocked them with a wave of her hand.

"Ah!!!"

Tang Hao felt the chilling aura emanating from behind him. Without hesitation, all of his Soul Ring except for the deep red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring disappeared. The immense Soul Power from the Ring Detonation allowed Tang Hao to withstand the Ice Empress's attack with his own body. The Clear Sky Hammer, now empowered by the Ring Detonation of three Soul Ring, became unstoppable, smashing Bibi Dong down. The massive hammerhead slammed into the Angel Statue in the Pope's Palace.

The destruction of the Angel Statue caused a cloud of dust to rise in the entire Pope's Palace. At this moment, Tang Hao's last Soul Ring also disappeared. He transformed into a red afterimage that was too fast to catch, grabbed Tang San and Xiao Wu, and disappeared into the horizon.

"Those old fogies in the Worship Hall, they really are willing to watch the Pope's Palace be destroyed. What a pity, after plotting for so long, they still couldn't take down Tang Hao."

A hint of regret appeared on Bibi Dong's beautiful face, but it quickly disappeared. She leaned on her scepter, glanced angrily at the location of the Worship Hall, and then raised her slender jade hand to wipe the blood that had spilled from the corner of her mouth.

"This?"

When Shui Xinrou saw Ice Empress return, she felt a little overwhelmed, but in the next instant, she seemed to understand something and looked at Yu Tianshuang beside her in astonishment.

"That's right, teacher. This was all part of our plan with His Holiness the Pope. We originally intended to use this opportunity to take down Tang San and his son, but we didn't expect his secret technique for making Soul Ring disappear to be so powerful. It actually withstood the Ice Empress's attack and still had the strength to take Tang San and Xiao Wu away."

Ever since Shui Bing'er Yu Tianshuang the others were seriously injured by Tang San, Yu Tianshuang had been wanting to kill Tang San. Just then, Bibi Dong came to her door, and she planned the ambush in the canyon. Unfortunately, the two Titled Douluo, Ju and Gui, were too afraid of Tang Hao at the time, and the plan failed.

Then came today's plan. Since the Battle of the Canyon, after Xiao Wu revealed the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Yu Tianshuang had become suspicious of her identity. Today's plan also involved a gamble. Although he felt a little reluctant to do it for this cute pink-haired girl he had met once, he still had to make the difficult decision in order to completely eliminate Tang San and his son.

Everything was planned out, except for Tang Hao's strength and the fact that the people of the Worship Hall simply ignored everything and provided only a few streams of energy from afar. This was something neither he nor Bibi Dong had anticipated.

After hearing Yu Tianshuang's admission, everyone fell silent. Tang San's feelings for Xiao Wu had truly moved them, but from another perspective, wasn't everything Yu Tianshuang did for them?

"Junior brother, I know you did this to avenge us, but now you and Tang San are mortal enemies, I..."

As the most mature of the women, Shui Bing'er understood Yu Tianshuang's original intention for doing everything after only a little thought.

"Actually, that's not entirely true. I also want to ask Tang Hao why Qian Xunji collected the secret techniques of the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Clan back then, and whether he knew about my parents."

Yu Tianshuang knew that Shui Bing'er, with her keen intuition, already understood his purpose in doing all this, but he didn't want them to feel too burdened, so he offered an extra explanation.

"If only I were stronger, I wouldn't have been so badly injured by Tang San, and Tianshuang wouldn't have formed a grudge against Tang San because of it. Power..."

Shui Bing'er glanced at Yu Tianshuang with a complicated expression. Her azure eyes, like a pair of sapphires, were dazzling, but at this moment they seemed to have lost their luster and were extremely dim.
