After Tang Hao left the waterfall, he came all the way to Heaven Dou City, because while he wasn't afraid of death, he couldn't die without value; at the very least, he had to take a few Title Douluo from Spirit Hall down with him.
Thus, directly rushing into Spirit City was definitely not an option.
And to lure the Title Douluo of Spirit Hall out of Spirit City, the best method was to destroy a Spirit Hall branch. However, low-level ones were meaningless; the Heaven Dou branch temple would be good.
Tang Hao arrived outside the Heaven Dou branch temple and, without any unnecessary words, directly released his Martial Soul.
With the Haotian Hammer in hand, nine soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red—rose up, and a powerful aura suddenly swept out.
The surrounding passersby were all dumbfounded.
Releasing a Martial Soul outside the Heaven Dou branch temple clearly indicated ill intentions, but what surprised everyone the most was his strength and that red soul ring.
Red represented a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
In the entire Soul Master world, ninety percent of Soul Masters had only heard of it and had never truly seen one, but now that blood-red soul ring was clearly appearing before their eyes.
Who was he?
A hammer.
The Haotian Hammer?
The most iconic hammer was naturally the Haotian Hammer, but hadn't the Haotian Sect secluded itself? Why would they suddenly appear, and immediately confront Spirit Hall?
Was the Haotian Sect this brave?
Many people were unaware of the entanglement between the Haotian Sect and Spirit Hall, and Tang Hao had disappeared for too long, plus his appearance had changed quite a bit, so basically no one recognized him.
"Who dares to act so presumptuously in Spirit Hall?"
Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Heaven Dou branch temple, sensed Tang Hao's aura immediately. After a furious roar, he rushed out from Spirit Hall, but what greeted him was Tang Hao's hammer striking down.
"Great Sumeru Hammer!"
Tang Hao's roar echoed through a large part of Heaven Dou City, alarming all factions. His huge Haotian Hammer, transformed by his Martial Soul Avatar, suddenly smashed down towards Salas.
"Not good!"
Salas's face changed drastically. He didn't dare to confront it head-on at all and, with a flash of his figure, dodged away towards the distance.
"Boom... rumble..."
Salas successfully evaded Tang Hao's attack, but the Spirit Hall behind him was out of luck; it was directly smashed to smithereens by Tang Hao's hammer.
Who knows how many Soul Masters were buried within it.
"Tang Hao!"
Salas was furious: "Are you trying to start a war with our Spirit Hall? Can you bear the consequences?"
"He's actually Haotian Douluo."
"Who is Haotian Douluo?"
"Holy crap, you don't even know Haotian Douluo? He cultivated to the Title Douluo level at the young age of forty-four, making him the youngest Title Douluo in Soul Master history."
...
Tang Hao's name caused an uproar. No one expected that disheveled, unsightly fellow to be the once-famous Haotian Douluo of the continent.
"Noisy!"
Tang Hao calmly uttered two words, then lifted his large hammer and charged towards Salas. The latter knew the terror of Tang Hao well; how could he have the courage to engage him?
Salas turned and ran.
Fighting was impossible; all he could do was stall for time. As long as he stalled until Snake Spear Douluo and Title Douluo, the two elders, arrived, then he would be safe.
As for whether they could take down Tang Hao... what did that have to do with him?
Salas's Martial Soul was a strange beam of white light. His combat strength was hard to say for now, but his speed was exceptional. Determined to escape, he was so fast that even Tang Hao, a Title Douluo, couldn't catch up.
Tang Hao taunted: "Salas, a dignified Platinum Bishop of Spirit Hall, do you only know how to run?"
Seeing that Tang Hao couldn't catch him, Salas felt a little relieved and retorted: "You're a damn Title Douluo, running over here to bully me, a Soul Douluo. Are you proud of yourself?"
Tang Hao angrily said: "You dare to curse my mother, Salas? You are courting death."
Salas was fearless: "Go to hell! I cursed her, what can you do? Not only did I curse your mother, I'll also curse that beast of your wife."
"You're seeking death!"
In his fury, Tang Hao released his blood-red domain. The terrifying killing intent sent chills down everyone's spines, and those with insufficient strength felt their legs turn soft and collapsed directly onto the ground.
Salas was also slightly affected, and his fleeing figure couldn't help but pause.
"Falling Wind Hammer Method!"
In his rage, Tang Hao suddenly accelerated, caught up to Salas, and delivered a hammer blow to his head.
At this critical moment, Salas's eighth soul ring suddenly lit up. A blinding beam of white light shot up into the sky and directly collided with the Haotian Hammer.
"Bang!"
Light and hammer collided, erupting in a massive roar that was clearly audible in every corner of Heaven Dou City.
"Cough, cough..."
Salas was sent flying back over ten meters, hitting a wall before landing. After getting up, he clutched his chest and coughed intensely, with blood staining the corner of his mouth accompanying the coughs.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Tang Hao was about to finish him off, he suddenly heard a sound of air being torn. Subconsciously, he turned sideways and swung the Haotian Hammer in his hand, smashing it onto an energy spear that had come tearing through the air.
"Bang!"
Although Tang Hao, counterattacking from behind, successfully blocked this sneak attack, the powerful impact forced him back several steps before he could stabilize his figure.
"Tang Hao."
Snake Spear Douluo glanced at Salas, who had already stood up but still had bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, then looked at Tang Hao again with eyes as cold as a viper's.
"Two Title Douluo from Spirit Hall actually came from the direction of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. Interesting, truly interesting."
Tang Hao looked at the two with interest, his sarcastic words, amplified by soul power, clearly reached the ears of everyone around, causing the hearts of the two, Serpent Spear and the other, to sink.
They were so focused on providing support that they actually overlooked such a detail.
The expressions of the surrounding onlookers also changed. Why would the Title Douluo from Spirit Hall come from the direction of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace? Were they trying to assassinate Emperor Xue Ye or...?
"It's quite lively."
Dugu Bo also arrived. After all, as a Heaven Dou Grand Advisor, with Title Douluo fighting in Heaven Dou City, how could he stand by and do nothing? At the very least, he had to make them fight outside the city.
"Dugu Bo, are you going to interfere?"
Serpent Spear looked at Dugu Bo with a grave expression. One Tang Hao was already enough of a headache for them. If an enhanced Dugu Bo were added, they might truly be finished here today.
"If you want to fight, roll out of the city and fight."
Dugu Bo actually wanted to team up with Tang Hao to take down the two of them, but he couldn't do that because Spirit Hall had more than just two Title Douluo, and he couldn't bear the consequences.
"Dare you fight outside the city?"
The two, Serpent Spear and the other, breathed a sigh of relief. Ci Xue glanced sideways at Tang Hao.
"Afraid of you? Impossible."
Tang Hao left a sentence behind, turned, and rushed towards the outside of the city. Serpent Spear and Ci Xue followed closely, and many onlookers with some strength also followed.
The good show was about to begin; how could they miss it?
Dugu Bo also followed. Although he didn't dare to attack, he could create some psychological pressure for the two, Serpent Spear and the other, which would slightly increase Tang Hao's chances of winning.
If people get killed, Tang Hao is the one killing them. What does that have to do with me, Dugu Bo? Can't I watch the show?
