"Do you Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan really intend to go against the heavens?"
Seeing Ning Fengzhi use an amplification soul skill on Chen Xin, the Lion Douluo immediately rebuked, realizing that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan was preparing to intervene.
Chen Xin stood with his sword in hand and said with a smile, "Lion Douluo, don't be angry. Harmony is most important. Today, I, Chen Xin, have no other intentions. I have only heard of your great strength and wish to seek some guidance."
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan had limited strength, and at this moment, it was not the time to completely fall out with the Spirit Hall. Just helping Tang Hao hold off the Lion Douluo was already a great show of support from the clan.
As for Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, Chrysanthemum, and Ghost?
Sorry, but the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan was powerless against them.
After all, Tang Hao had already been able to overpower Qian Xunji when he had just become a Title Douluo. Now, after more than ten years, he should be able to handle those four, right?
However, Tang Hao was not completely fighting alone—he had an ally.
That person was none other than Dugu Bo.
This had been arranged before their departure by Emperor Xue Ye. If a Spirit Hall powerhouse intervened and Tang Hao appeared, they were to assist if possible.
Of course, if the situation became untenable, preserving themselves, the participating students, and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe would be the priority.
After all, the Heaven Dou Empire only had one Title Douluo, Dugu Bo, and he could not be sacrificed.
As for Huo Lie and the other two?
Both Chen Xin and Dugu Bo knew very well that Huo Lie's group had no obligation to help them, let alone Tang Hao. At most, they would just be cheerleaders and help protect the participating students.
But even as mere cheerleaders, they could still play a role. After all, there were still three Douluo who had not joined the fight, and their opponents would inevitably divert some attention toward Huo Lie's group, preventing them from fully exerting their strength.
Seeing that Chen Xin had taken on the Lion Douluo, Dugu Bo's gaze instinctively skipped past Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, landing on Chrysanthemum and Ghost instead.
Without hesitation, with the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul possessing him, Dugu Bo shouted loudly, "Chrysanthemum Guan, I heard your strength has improved recently. Let me see if it's true!"
Chrysanthemum Guan was an old rival. Though Dugu Bo still couldn't defeat him, at least he wouldn't be instantly overwhelmed. Holding out for a while would not be a problem.
If he was about to be defeated and Tang Hao still hadn't settled his opponent, then he would simply back off and retreat toward Mu Yang's side.
To avoid misunderstandings and unnecessary complications, at that point, surely Chrysanthemum Guan wouldn't continue pressing the attack, right?
"Hmph! First Soul Skill: Thousand-Jin Force! Seventh Soul Skill: Coiling Dragon True Form!"
Seeing Dugu Bo challenge Yue Guan, attempting to disrupt their prearranged strategy, Demon Subduing Douluo let out a cold snort. His first and seventh soul rings lit up in succession, boosting his augmentation soul skill while directly activating his Martial Soul True Body.
Then, with his aura surging,Demon Subduing Douluo's eighth soul ring lit up as well.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Thousand-Jin Throw!"
With a furious shout, Qian Jun Douluo's eighth soul ring shot out at high speed, locking onto Dugu Bo, while he hurled his Coiling Dragon Staff.
In an instant, the Coiling Dragon Staff expanded with the wind, transforming into a towering pillar that descended from the sky, smashing straight toward Dugu Bo.
"Not good! Seventh Soul Skill: Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor True Body!"
Just as Dugu Bo, who had been planning to be cunning and slippery, saw a pitch-black soul ring flying toward him from afar and locking onto him, he was still confused when he suddenly sensed a deadly threat from above. Looking up, he saw a massive pillar descending from the sky, nearly scaring his soul out of his body. He hurriedly activated his Martial Soul True Body.
"Boom—"
In the next moment, a deafening crash resounded as the towering pillar dissipated, and the Coiling Dragon Staff rebounded back into Qian Jun Douluo's hands.
However, Dugu Bo had only managed to activate his Martial Soul True Body and had not had time to enhance his strength with augmentation soul skills. As a result, he was severely injured in a single strike, his Martial Soul True Body forcibly shattered.
Compared to before, Dugu Bo's strength had indeed improved. By learning the method of transferring toxins through soul bones, he had temporarily resolved the backlash from his own snake venom and successfully broken through to Rank 92 as a Title Douluo.
But Dugu Bo had always been among the weaker ones at his level, and he had only recently acquired the Soul Core Secret Method without yet condensing his first soul core. Relying on just a Martial Soul True Body was far from enough to withstand Demon Subduing Douluo's eighth powerful offensive soul skill, unleashed in his Martial Soul True Body state at Rank 96.
Dugu Bo, who had deliberately picked an easy target, had challenged his opponent, prepared to strike, only for Demon Subduing Douluo to make a move first—instantly overwhelming him.
In just a brief moment,Demon Subduing Douluo heavily injured Dugu Bo and then ignored him, joining forces with Thousand Jun Douluo to attack Tang Hao.
After all, Dugu Bo was not their main target—Tang Hao was.
Their justification for attacking Tang Hao was to eliminate a traitor of the soul master world who had colluded with soul beasts. Meanwhile, Dugu Bo was a guest elder of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Killing him outright would have bad repercussions, and the Heaven Dou Empire would undoubtedly cause trouble for the Spirit Hall. For now, they would let him go.
Having narrowly escaped death, Dugu Bo, his face deathly pale, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and hastily dragged his heavily injured body toward the Mu Yang group, who were observing from afar.
The villains of the Spirit Hall were truly detestable! He had only intended to go through the motions, yet they had struck with such force. Did they really think that having power meant they could do whatever they pleased?
…Fine, having power really did mean they could do whatever they pleased. He would just endure it for now!
"Clear Sky True Body!"
Facing the oncoming Demon Subduing and Thousand Jun Douluo, Tang Hao did not hold back. His seventh soul ring lit up, and a massive Clear Sky True Body wielding a black-glowing giant hammer took form.
Immediately after, a wave of white light surged outward—the power of his Killing God Domain, amplifying himself while weakening his opponents.
The next moment, Tang Hao unhesitatingly unleashed the Clear Sky Clan's inherited ultimate technique—the Great Sumeru Hammer! He poured the boundless energy contained within his hundred-thousand-year ninth soul ring entirely into the Hao Tian Hammer.
In an instant, red patterns surfaced on the hammer's body. As his hundred-thousand-year ninth soul ring shone brilliantly, the black giant hammer in his hand, along with the enormous Clear Sky True Body, turned blood-red, exuding a terrifying aura.
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
With a piercing roar, Tang Hao swung his right arm, and the blood-colored giant hammer crashed down.
At that moment, the surrounding air distorted, and the participants and royal knights watching from a distance felt an inexplicable pressure descending upon them, rendering them completely immobile.
However, this hammer strike was not aimed at Demon Subduing and Thousand Jun Douluo—it was descending upon Yue Guan and Gui Mei instead.
