A deafening rumble of thunder suddenly exploded in the sky, followed by, to everyone's astonishment, streaks of silver lightning pierced the heavens and earth as they slashed down.
The twelve hidden weapons that were originally speeding through the air and shot out from the peacock feather are now trapped in the net formed by the Thunder Forest, as if stuck in a quagmire, unable to move.
"What kind of soul skill is this?"
Gazing at the sudden appearance of lightning in the sky, Tang Xiao felt a tingling sensation on his face and murmured in shock.
"Judging by its power, this soul skill surpasses the fifth soul skill of an ordinary soul master and barely reaches the level of a Soul Emperor! Moreover, this soul skill is instantaneous. Is this guy really a monster?"
The Second Elder frowned, his tone revealing deep shock.
Since Dai Yao became the Soul King, the power of his fourth soul skill has increased significantly.
On the one hand, he had specifically studied many lightning-attribute soul skills in the library, gaining a deeper understanding of soul skills. On the other hand, the Thunderous Hell Vine also played a supporting role.
Tang Long and Tang Hu stared wide-eyed, only now realizing just how vast the gap was between them and Dai Yao!
What Tang San is showing now has overturned their imagination; a control-type Soul Master can actually do this.
Dai Yao's response was even more illogical.
No matter how much Tang San struggled, Dai Yao always managed to keep him firmly under his control.
At the summit of the snow-capped mountain, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo simultaneously breathed a heavy sigh of relief. If Dai Yao had died here, they truly would have been unable to explain themselves to the Pope.
Ghost Douluo let out a long breath, his tone filled with lingering fear:
"Thanks to Dai Yao's trump card, otherwise I really don't know how I would face Zhu Qing if I died here."
Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced indifferently at Ghost Douluo, a barely perceptible hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes, and said:
"You're really good to your apprentice."
Ghost Douluo remained silent.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's soft, feminine voice rang out again, this time with a hint of solemnity:
"I never expected that kid Tang San would actually return to the Clear Sky Sect. With the help of the Clear Sky Sect, that little bastard's cultivation speed will definitely increase significantly!"
"Moreover, this guy's attack methods are simply too bizarre, and those weapons are unheard of! If he continues to grow, he will definitely become a major enemy of our Spirit Hall in the future!"
"Once you return, you must report this to His Holiness the Pope and tell him to get rid of him as soon as possible."
Ghost Douluo stared intently at Tang San in the sky and nodded deeply.
·······
"Tang San, if these are your trump cards, then I'm really disappointed!"
With his right palm facing down and fingers spread, Dai Yao looked down from high above, as if he were suppressing the entire Haotian Sect with one hand.
The fourth black spirit ring shimmered with a captivating light.
It was his fourth soul skill—White Tiger Thunder God Strike!
Countless bolts of lightning flashed around Dai Yao, and the silver snake that pierced the sky changed direction with the flick of Dai Yao's finger, binding all the hidden weapons in the Peacock Feather.
The twelve types of hidden weapons wielded by the Peacock Feather were mostly made of metal, so they were unsurprisingly stopped by the power of thunder.
"How...how is this possible? My Peacock Feather, the third-ranked super hidden weapon among the Tang Clan's mechanical hidden weapons, how could you possibly block it!"
Watching those hidden weapons being intercepted by Dai Yao's lightning, Tang San first murmured in disbelief, which gradually turned into a hysterical and ferocious expression.
It was as if the supreme and sacred existence in his heart had been defiled by Dai Yao.
Those are Tang Sect hidden weapons! This is his trump card, the trump card among his trump cards. He thought that once the Tang Sect hidden weapons appeared in Douluo Continent, they would be an instant sensation!
Kill the peerless genius Dai Yao.
However, reality did not kill Dai Yao as he had expected.
"Sigh, it seems you don't have any other trump cards left. What a disappointment!"
Dai Yao gave a disdainful snort and said.
At this moment, only Dai Yao's disdainful voice remained in the sky, and the entire Haotian Sect was shrouded in deathly silence.
A pair of blood-red eyes stared intently at Dai Yao.
"Since that's the case, then I'll show you my trump card!"
Dai Yao sneered.
He slowly extended his left hand, and several sharp blades slowly sprang out from between his fingers. Their undisguised sharpness immediately startled the elders of the Haotian Sect.
"That...that is...! Another external soul bone! No wonder his physique is so strong, even the Clear Sky Hammer can't break through his physical defenses!"
Tang Xiao said in shock.
The eight pairs of wings on its back, plus the sharp blade in its left hand, clearly indicate that it is not one of the six regular soul bones, but rather an external soul bone!
Two external soul bones!
Ordinary people don't even have one soul bone, but this guy not only has two, but they are both extremely rare external soul bones!
"This kid's luck is terrifying!"
The Second Elder swallowed hard, suppressing his shock, and forced himself to remain calm.
The two exchanged a glance and understood each other's meaning: no matter the cost, they could not let this child return alive.
Tang San finally recovered from his shock, only to see something even more shocking. He froze for a moment, then his eyes widened in fury as he exclaimed:
"An external soul bone? How is this possible... How could you possibly have another external soul bone! Unstoppable, capable of cutting through iron and metal, this... this is actually the palm bone of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!"
Before the finals, Tang San was taken away by Tang Hao. In addition, Bibi Dong protected Dai Yao's information, so outsiders did not know about Dai Yao's second external soul bone.
"You have good eyesight, Tang San. You actually recognized my soul bone."
Dai Yao spoke calmly, his eyes gazing indifferently at Tang San, which only intensified Tang San's resentment.
A faint sense of despair crept into his heart.
He used all his methods, including the Killing God Domain, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, and the Peacock Feather, except for the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, but still couldn't harm Dai Yao in the slightest.
"Tang San, you've tried to kill me time and time again. Now, I won't be polite to you either! Consider it an honor for you to die from the skill trapped in my external soul bone!"
The dark gold claw bear's handbone on Dai Yao's left palm emitted a dazzling light. In fact, it wasn't light, but rather sharp, metallic energy.
When Tang San trapped Dai Yao with the Blue Silver Cage, Dai Yao turned the tables and secretly activated the skill of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear external soul bone, completing the charging process.
Tang San was plotting against him all the time, but wasn't he also plotting against Tang San?
Staring coldly at Tang San, Dai Yao slowly raised his left palm, about to unleash the Gengjin Qi in his hand.
Although he said he wanted to kill Tang San, he didn't actually intend to do so. After all, he wanted to keep Tang San alive to lure Xiao Wu into sacrificing herself!
They just wanted to use this to force the Clear Sky Sect to reveal their strength in order to save Tang San.
Actually, Xiao Wu's spirit rings weren't a perfect match for Dai Yao; the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was more suitable for him.
However, after much deliberation, he decided to use his precognitive knowledge of the original story to steal Tang San's 'lover's' soul ring.
Although he possesses twin martial souls, the Chaos Green Lotus martial soul cannot manifest in the world until he becomes a Title Douluo or even a god; moreover, the Chaos Green Lotus martial soul does not require him to hunt soul beasts to attach soul rings, as it can condense soul rings on its own.
It can be said that Dai Yao essentially had only one martial soul for a very long time.
Therefore, the existence of Xiao Wu's spirit ring resetter is very important. It can revive Xiao Wu and wash away his previous spirit rings with a duration of hundreds or thousands of years, thereby absorbing more powerful spirit rings.
At that time, I might be able to absorb several more 100,000-year soul rings.
The boost these spirit rings provide to the body is immeasurable. Moreover, Xiao Wu's spirit ring is at least a 100,000-year spirit ring, which can also serve as a transitional element.
"Oh no! Quick, save the mistress!"
Tang Yuehua had lost her usual composure and elegance. She grabbed Tang Xiao's sleeve and said anxiously.
Tang Xiao's eyes gleamed with cold light, and a powerful and solid aura was slowly released. He suddenly flew into the sky, but just as he was about to block Dai Yao's attack for Tang San, a figure in golden armor stood in front of him.
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, does your Spirit Hall really intend to fight us to the death?"
Staring at Chrysanthemum Douluo blocking his way, Tang Xiao coldly shouted.
The Haotian Hammer in his hand was enormous; just one glance at it felt like a boulder pressing down on one's heart.
Nine spirit rings slowly emerged, and surging pressure rushed towards Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Feeling this pressure, Chrysanthemum Douluo grunted. A level 95 Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master was far beyond what he, a level 94 Title Douluo, could withstand.
Just when Chrysanthemum Douluo was about to give up, a ghostly figure appeared beside him, and the pressure on him suddenly lessened.
Chrysanthemum Douluo breathed a sigh of relief, casting a grateful glance at Ghost Douluo before turning to Tang Xiao again. His icy gaze held a chilling intensity. Then, as if remembering something, he turned and smiled at Dai Yao in the sky:
"Haha, how could our Spirit Hall be threatened by you?! Dai Yao, just do it, and we'll take responsibility for anything that happens!"
"good!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Yao was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.
These were words Tang Xiao had spoken not long ago, and now that Chrysanthemum Douluo had returned them verbatim, his face darkened immediately, and he said with some embarrassment and annoyance:
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, if you kill Tang San today, none of you will leave the Clear Sky Sect alive!"
"Haha, then I'll see if your Haotian Sect has such strength!"
Ghost Douluo spoke in a hoarse voice, his tone full of mockery.
They brought six Title Douluos this time, including three Super Douluos from the Hall of Worship. The Clear Sky Sect's words made them laugh their heads off.
High above the sky, Dai Yao ruthlessly swung his left palm down, and a beam of light that pierced through the heavens and earth, accompanied by a piercing sound, hurtled towards Tang San.
Not only that, Dai Yao flapped his eight wings and followed the beam of light, charging towards Tang San.
Seeing this, Tang San felt a chill in his heart; he knew he had reached a life-or-death moment. Countless strands of Blue Silver Emperor energy grew wildly, enveloping him layer by layer, forming a large cocoon, attempting to withstand Dai Yao's astonishing soul skill.
Not only that, after the cocoon was fully formed, he released the Clear Sky Hammer, held it in front of him, and maximized the recovery effect of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.
"The mistress!"
Tang Hao shouted, his eyes bloodshot.
Without holding back any longer, it hurtled towards Tang San with a deafening whooshing sound.
Two figures blocked his way again, and Tang Xiao said sternly:
"Get out of my way!"
Wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, several soul rings lit up, and the Clear Sky Hammer instantly grew to the size of a mountain, determined to fight its way out of the two's encirclement.
"Don't even think about it!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo sneered, and together with Ghost Douluo, several spirit rings lit up at the same time. Their combined aura was even stronger than Tang Xiao's.
Just then, two gray streaks of light shot into the sky from the Haotian Sect, and two Haotian Hammers slammed down on Chrysanthemum and Ghost.
It was the Second Elder and the Seventh Elder.
"Two Title Douluos?! The Clear Sky Sect actually has three Title Douluos in total?! In just twenty years, the Clear Sky Sect has actually gained two more Title Douluos. They've clearly gone into seclusion, yet their strength is even greater than it was at their peak!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo thought in shock.
"Sect Master, you go and rescue Tang San. Leave these two to us. We have a few scores to settle with them."
The Second Elder said calmly.
Despite his slender build, the moment he grasped the Haotian Hammer, he exuded an aura of invincibility.
He wanted to save Tang San, but also wanted to conceal the strength of the Clear Sky Sect. In his view, the appearance of three Title Douluos was already enough to make the Spirit Hall hesitate to act rashly.
Tang Xiao didn't say much and flew straight towards Tang San.
The Second Elder frowned, looking at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo who showed no desire to fight, and asked in confusion:
"What, have you given up on stopping the sect leader?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo chuckled effeminately, "Hehe, who said there were only the two of us at the Clear Sky Sect?"
The pupils of the Second Elder and the Seventh Elder suddenly contracted.
A fierce roar echoed from beneath the snow-capped mountain, followed by a white streak of light shooting into the sky and flying towards Tang Xiao, eventually catching up with him.
laugh!
The raptor's sharp blade gripped the Haotian Hammer, sparks flew, and a series of ear-piercing sharp sounds rang out.
"Damn it! It's that Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall who's been hiding all along! And of all times, he's shown up at this crucial moment!"
Tang Xiao paused, cursing inwardly.
The Clear Sky Hammer suddenly exerted its power. The sticky force on the Clear Sky Hammer startled Ling Yuan Douluo, who could not escape. He took the blow of the Clear Sky Hammer head-on, let out a muffled groan, and then fled into the distance.
Having just entered the Title Douluo realm, she was no match for Tang Xiao, who was at level 95.
But that one moment of delay was enough.
The light from the sky struck the cocoon formed by the Blue Silver Emperor. In an instant, as easily as cutting tofu, the Blue Silver Grass was severed, revealing Tang San's figure.
"The mistress!"
Tang Xiao shouted, his eyes wide with fury.
Before the Haotian Sect, Tang Yuehua knelt weakly on the ground, covering her mouth, tears streaming down her face, her expression one of despair and dejection, unconsciously saying:
"The mistress...the mistress..."
Many disciples of the Clear Sky Sect felt sorrow. Although they were very dissatisfied with Tang Hao's past actions that had implicated the Clear Sky Sect, Tang San's all-out battle had made them begin to accept him.
"You must live, Tang San!"
Tang Long gazed at Tang San, who was falling steadily, with mixed feelings, and thought with hope. But he also knew that this was just wishful thinking.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Sky-Tearing Claw struck Tang San, who was using the Clear Sky Hammer to block its attack...
