Everyone Was Busy
The sea wind howled, and blood stained the waters surrounding Sea God Island.
After being repeatedly slapped across the water like a skipping stone, and then being pointed at and accused of rigging the match from behind, Tang Chen's face had turned ashen.
He had been famous Douluo Continent for a long time, and single-handedly brought the Clear Sky Sect to the position of the number one sect in the world. He created the Haotian Ultimate Technique. He had never suffered such humiliation.
The disdainful look from his crush made Tang Chen's anger surge.
Nine Soul Ring— two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—shattered with a series of cracking sounds.
"Great Sumeru Hammer, Ring Detonation!" Tang Chen roared, smashing it head-on towards Bo Saixi in mid-air.
The massive shockwave from the head-on collision tore through the clouds, and the surging air rushed down, creating multiple layers of water curtains.
The first clash under the influence of the Ring Detonation was even more effective than the amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, resulting in a stalemate between the two sides.
Tang Chen was overjoyed. No matter what evil methods she used, they were all level 99, and they would still have to give way in the face of the power of the Ring Detonation.
"Destroy them all!"
Tang Chen burst into wild laughter, his remaining Soul Ring shattering simultaneously. Using the violent power, he swung the hammer once more.
Even with home advantage, Bo Saixi was so stunned by the Nine Rings Explode Together exploded at once that he had to retreat.
In mid-air, Tang Chen had the upper hand, while below Yu Luomian, the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, who only had the cultivation of Soul Douluo, was struggling in a fierce battle.
He landed on the beach with Yu Yuanzhen, but was surrounded and beaten by several purple and black-clad Soul Master from Sea God Island. He was covered in bruises, and the lightning was dimmed by the splashing water.
Having finally found an opening and seeing that Tang Chen had gained the upper hand, he immediately roared:
"Your mother's Qian Xunji, where are your other four Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall? And Gu Rong, are you just standing there watching Ning Fengzhi's show? Come and fight!"
Qian Xunji, who was letting Sea Dragon and the other two Titled Douluo experience the Qian Xunji of his halberd, replied, "What are they doing? I can't get here."
While being ganged up on, Yu Yuanzhen glanced at the scene and nearly choked on his breath.
The sea was indeed a bustling scene.
Two Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall were braving the wind and waves, traversing the sea with nets in hand, rescuing taxi drivers who had fallen into the water and pulling them onto the still intact warship, comforting them with "Don't be afraid, I'm here," while working up a sweat.
Meanwhile, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo continued their pursuit of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, Xiao Bai.
The two Titled Douluo cooperated perfectly, not even using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Their Soul Skill always grazed the fish's body, completely missing the mark, and not a single one landed.
Xiao Bai swam, it turned back with a puzzled look, as if to say, "You're an idiot."
Yu Luomian had clearly witnessed this scene as well, her face flushed with anger. "I'm eating lemons, and you're saving Ru Niang? Qian Xunji, let them come and deal with the enemy's high-level combatants first!"
Sea Dragon Douluo and the other Sacred Pillar Guardian watched Qian Xunji, whose strength fluctuated, with great helplessness.
The opponent was like a stubborn leech; you couldn't beat them, and you couldn't escape them. You could only watch helplessly as the Sea God Warrior on the island fell, and in your desperation, you could only make random moves.
Qian Xunji took the hit from Sea Dragon and used the force to float backward, pretending to be thrown back and panting as he shouted, "Brother Yu, my enemy is a bit strong, let's not talk about that for now."
After saying that, he continued to throw the match against Sea Dragon Douluo and the other person.
In mid-air, seeing Bo Saixi being repeatedly smashed back by hammer blows, the allied forces erupted in cheers. Marshal Ge Long of the Heaven Dou Empire and Marshal Zhu of the Star Luo Empire immediately began to give orders:
"The enemy forces have been defeated and are in retreat. All troops, charge forward and seize the beach!"
Ignoring the Soul Skill of the Sea Soul Master and Sea Soul Beast, a large number of warships sped towards the beach, shouting as they charged toward the garrison of Sea God Island.
Despite playing on home turf, Sea God Island's defenses were repeatedly pushed back by the enemy's numerical superiority and relentless attacks.
The Sea Soul Beast lurking on the distant sea surface, sensing the danger, immediately became agitated.
They had planned to use their Soul Skill to slowly delay the allied forces' advance, but now these land troops were fearlessly resisting the charge, and the Sea God Island defense line was clearly on the verge of collapse.
The Sea Soul Beast immediately decided to intensify their efforts.
A Sea Soul Beast pointed at the Sea God Island Soul Master who were fast asleep in the sea and shouted in grief and indignation, "No! Hai Kun! You actually killed Hai Kun! Hai Kun was my mortal enemy for life, and only I can take your life!"
Several Sea Soul Beast nearby, upon seeing this, immediately began wailing and howling at the other Sea Soul Master: "Waaah, Hai Cai, what happened to you, Hai Cai? You... you... you've lost a section of your hair! You damned land humans, you've already chosen your own death!"
Sea Soul Beast possessing the Soul Skill to create clones created one of its clones, which secretly landed on Sea God Island. The clone embraced a critically injured Sea Soul Master, feigning concern and saying, "Hai Xu, don't worry, I'll save you."
But when its giant claws closed, it didn't control its strength and accidentally crushed him into a cloud of blood mist.
The Sea Soul Beast froze, silently rinsing its blood-stained claws quickly in the seawater before bursting into tears. "No— Hai Xu, you died so tragically! You inherently Evil land human, I will avenge Hai Xu!"
Taking advantage of the situation, the Sea Soul Beast immediately changed its tactics. Abandoning minor skirmishes like water guns and bubbles, a barrage of waterspouts and towering waves swept towards the ships about to land on the island.
Even many of the landing taxi soldiers were swept back into the sea by the attack.
The allied commanders had no idea who Hai Cai, Hai Xu, and Hai Kun were, or how they could drive these Sea Soul Beast mad.
In the vast sky, Tang Chen stood proudly, wielding his great hammer. "Admit defeat. It's your honor to be defeated by the Clear Sky Hammer."
Bo Saixi had taken more than ten blows from Tang Chen and was also in bad shape.
She sized up Tang Chen. With each swing of his hammer, his aura weakened, while she, on Sea God Island, had an inexhaustible supply of Divine Power and the sea as her backing.
She quickly figured out how to break the deadlock: instead of confronting Tang Chen head-on, she would avoid him if possible, and if she couldn't avoid him, she would focus all her energy on defense.
Seeing that the other party had no reaction, Tang Chen swung his sledgehammer and began to smash wildly with his Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.
But in the sky, Bo Saixi didn't confront him directly, so his Chaotic Cloak cloak couldn't be stacked up at all.
Several hammer blows missed their mark, the Soul Power from the Ring Detonation striking the air, and the Soul Power within his body was rapidly dissipating.
Once he reaches his limit, the negative effects of the Ring Detonation will leave him completely exhausted, and that will be the moment of his defeat.
If this continues, he will die.
Tang Chen originally intended to smash the Sea God Island below, attacking where it would have to defend, but he had already consumed most of the Soul Power he had gained from Ring Detonation. If he failed to take it down, he would suffer the backlash.
He already had a plan in mind, and still looking at Bo Saixi with arrogance, he said, "Woman, you are very strong, you have successfully caught my attention."
Leaving behind a cryptic remark, Tang Chen turned and fled, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the distance, leaving behind an echoing sound between the sea and sky as he escaped:
"I will definitely come back--"
The crew on the warship suddenly sensed something was wrong; their main damage dealer had run away?!
Upon seeing this, Qian Xunji immediately shouted, "Senior Tang Chen, why did you run away?"
Hearing the shouts, Yu Yuanzhen looked at Tang Chen, who had already disappeared, and cursed angrily, "Tang Chen, you really deserve to die!"
