With a loud roar, Xiao Yan's mind moved, and the surrounding earth immediately trembled violently. More than a dozen blue silver emperor vines, each as thick as a water tank, shot up from the ground, soaring into the sky.
While trapping everyone present, two thick vines lashed out at Flender and the others.
"What kind of monster is this?!"
Flender, who had always been known for recruiting monsters, was somewhat stunned when he saw a true monster-like person.
As the vines lashed out, they kicked up gusts of wind, preventing Flender from remaining too stunned.
The action of running away was immediately halted. Flender grabbed Ma Hongjun and activated his Cat-Eagle Martial Soul, dodging the attack of the thick vines. Zhao Wuji picked up Oscar with one hand, kicked Dai Mubai with the other, and ran in the opposite direction of Flender.
Flender was originally an agile attack-type Soul Saint, and with his Cat-Eagle Martial Soul, he possessed the ability to fly, so his speed wasn't bad, and he could barely dodge the thick vines.
While Zhao Wuji's speed wasn't his strong suit, he could manage to hold his own in a real battle with his skills.
Shao Xin, despite being a food-type Soul Saint, was rather quick-witted. Sticking close to Zhao Wuji, he managed to dodge and weave, keeping himself alive by a hair's breadth.
Thick vines slammed heavily onto Li Yusong's corpse with a loud bang, turning him into a pulp!
Seeing this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. They knew they had to be careful; one mistake could cost them their lives.
"You dare to be distracted while fighting me!" Tang Hao's eyes widened suddenly. A Soul Bone appeared on his right arm, flashing with black light, and his arm underwent a strange transformation.
It rapidly swelled, growing to three times its original size. Muscles bulged, and veins coiled around his arm like tiny snakes.
Terrifying black light surged out, unleashing a deep, dark shockwave that slammed directly towards Xiao Yan.
Even though he was also dealing with Flender and the others, Xiao Yan could simultaneously use three Six Meridians Divine Swords. After prolonged training, he had developed the ability to multitask.
Tang Hao's Soul Bone skill came unexpectedly, but Xiao Yan wasn't entirely unprepared.
Xiao Yan drew a circle with his palms, and surging, powerful inner energy poured forth. The gentle force blocked Tang Hao's Soul Bone skill in front of him.
Xiao Yan continued to draw circles with his palms. Even though the force of the soul skill pushed him backward, he gradually gained control of the extremely fierce and domineering soul skill during the process of resisting it.
Seeing the distance between them growing further and further, Xiao Yan flicked his arms outwards, and the black energy in front of him was immediately flung towards a nearby boulder.
With a loud boom, the three-to-four-meter-tall boulder instantly shattered into powder.
Looking at Tang Hao not far away, Xiao Yan quickly calculated in his mind: left arm, right arm, left leg, chest—four parts all had Soul Bones!
In the world of Soul Masters, it was a stroke of incredible luck for a Soul Master to possess even one Soul Bone, yet Tang Hao had four?
According to the rules, after the death of a hundred-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, there would also be a Soul Bone.
Judging by the Soul Bones that had appeared on Tang Hao's body, it didn't seem like he had any Soul Bones belonging to plant-type soul beasts. Could it be the head?
After repelling Xiao Yan, Tang Hao immediately summoned the Clear Sky Hammer again, placing it diagonally in front of him while watching Xiao Yan warily.
Having gone toe-to-toe with Xiao Yan, he was truly frightened.
If it weren't for his numerous Soul Bones, things might have been tricky today.
His stamina was severely depleted, and Tang Hao's qi and blood were roiling, causing him to gasp heavily.
Although Xiao Yan's breathing was steady, he had also expended a considerable amount of energy. Tang Hao's strength was terrifying; with both his internal energy and physical power, he could only manage a draw.
However, Xiao Yan was certain that if the fight continued, he would be the victor!
Tang Hao glanced at Flender and the others, who were still desperately fleeing the rampaging vines, and felt a sense of disdain. Xiao Yan hadn't even made a move, yet they were already in such a state. If he focused on them, wouldn't he be able to kill them with a simple wave of his hand? Their strength was truly lacking.
But at this moment, he no longer wanted to fight. He smiled and said, "It seems that's all you've got. You want to play the hero, but your strength is still lacking."
"If you're so capable, why aren't you making a move? After only a short while of fighting, you can't suppress your injuries already?" Xiao Yan chuckled.
Tang Hao's expression shifted, and he nearly roared, "Again!"
He, the mighty Clear Sky Douluo, was being provoked by a mere child!
Xiao Yan's right hand either pressed, tapped, or poked. With a raise of his hand, he unleashed three strikes of the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
Tang Hao, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer with greater stability, chuckled. "It seems you're really running out of steam, just using the same moves over and over."
How old was Xiao Yan anyway? How much soul power could he possibly have? He was definitely running low.
Ignoring Tang Hao's words, Xiao Yan continued to employ the Ghost Shadow Phantom Steps, constantly shifting his position while repeatedly attacking with the Six Meridians Divine Sword. After a few exchanges, his single finger suddenly morphed into a sword gesture.
"Is it that move?" Seeing the change in Xiao Yan's fingers, Tang Hao was startled and hastily swung his hammer to defend.
Two years ago, he'd suffered a great loss because of that move.
That time, he'd almost been killed by it.
The Clear Sky Hammer, after a rapid swing, immediately froze in mid-air.
Tang Hao looked down at his body, disbelief evident on his face.
The black glow of his chest Soul Bone skill had completely vanished. Not only that, but a bloody hole now marred his right shoulder.
Tang Hao glanced at the bloody hole on his left shoulder, then back at his right, his brow furrowing.
He was injured again!
And he didn't even know how!
"What's going on?" Tang Hao asked Xiao Yan in a low voice.
"Aren't you supposed to be capable? Figure it out yourself," Xiao Yan said, curling his lip after experiencing the power of his new move.
He'd suddenly understood something during the battle. The Silent Sword, which combined the Six Meridians, was powerful, but it caused a backlash because he hadn't fully mastered all six swords.
It would be better to combine only three meridians, releasing a sword qi that was weaker than the Silent Sword, but stronger than a single Six Meridians Divine Sword.
That just now was the sword energy released by the combination of the Large Intestine Meridian, Heart Meridian, and Small Intestine Meridian. Because the sword techniques of the three meridians initially emphasized speed, the speed of the three meridians combined was also much faster, which was: Limitless Sword!
Tang Hao thought about it, but couldn't figure it out at all.
In the past two years, he hadn't failed to consider what Xiao Yan had used, but he couldn't understand it at all.
If it was a self-created soul skill, it had nothing to do with the Martial Soul.
He couldn't understand.
If this continued, he was probably really going to fall here.
Tang Hao gritted his teeth, and the first soul ring on his body suddenly lit up.
At this moment, his entire body was bathed in yellow light.
Boom——
Tang Hao's first soul ring seemed to explode and vanished.
Seeing this strange move, Xiao Yan frowned. The soul ring exploded? Was Tang Hao feeling cornered and about to self-destruct?
