He casually threw the heavily injured Tang Hao onto the Bone Dragon's back. Throughout, Tang Hao had no room to resist, only able to stare intently at Netherworld Douluo, wanting to remember his appearance.
After ensuring Tang Hao wouldn't die, Netherworld Douluo turned to Xu Yunxiao and the others, scarlet light flashing in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "You want my life? Then come and try it!"
Nine Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—appeared in circles, mixed with powerful spirit power at rank ninety-seven. Xu Yunxiao knew how troublesome Evil Soul Masters were and didn't dare to be careless, immediately activating his seventh spirit ring.
His entire body instantly inflated like a balloon.
Martial Soul True Body, Purple Emperor Sky Destroying Dragon!
"You alone want to stop me? That's not enough!" The earth-shattering dragon's roar echoed across the sky. Even more terrifying, six black and three red spirit rings surrounded him. Netherworld Douluo looked at Xu Yunxiao with disdain, then ignored him completely and left with Tang Hao, fully exposing his back to the opponent.
"Courting death!"
At a height of a thousand meters, two giant shadows, filled with destructive and deathly auras, collided. The sky trembled because of them.
Dark cracks spread across the sky like a spiderweb. Endless power frantically gathered, invading, devouring, crushing each other, and then constantly annihilating, as if the end of the world had arrived.
"Tianyang is truly ruthless. He's so harsh even on his own father!" In Xu Tianyang's spiritual sea, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't help but exclaim as he watched Xu Yunxiao struggle to kill Netherworld Douluo, only for his attacks to be easily resolved one by one.
The Ice Empress also twitched the corner of her eye slightly, turning her face away from the awkward scene.
After his spiritual realm entered the tangible and substantial, the power Xu Tianyang could mobilize became even more terrifying. Controlling the Undead Bone Dragon, he still seemed to have plenty of room to spare, even when facing the rank ninety-seven Xu Yunxiao.
"Boom boom boom!"
The crowd below Ming City watched as Netherworld Douluo, who was besieged by Xu Yunxiao, Mu Mengyu, and others, flew further and further away, eventually escaping completely. They immediately let out a sigh of relief.
They finally survived!
As the crowd dispersed, Ming City, which had been 'lively' all night, finally returned to its usual tranquility.
Meanwhile, the bishop of the Spirit Hall branch in Ming City felt a great disaster was imminent and almost fainted. Two Enshriners were actually killed in Ming City by the rogue Tang Hao. This, this, this... Once this report reached the Hall of Enshrinement, he had already guessed what kind of furious rage would erupt from the Hall of Enshrinement, and he, a small fry, would probably be implicated... At night, a cool night breeze rustled the leaves, casting a ground full of uneven, swaying tree shadows under the moonlight.
"This Great Sumeru Hammer is practically suicide. No wonder it can unleash such terrifying power."
Looking at the Great Sumeru Hammer extracted from Tang Hao's mind, the Ice Empress was dumbfounded. How could anyone in this world create such a suicidal Spirit Ability?
Was he not afraid of death?
"By the way, can mortals really create such terrifying Spirit Abilitys?"
"Who knows!" Xu Tianyang smiled noncommittally. The performance of ring blasting was a divine skill, capable of crossing the boundary between gods and mortals, allowing Tang San to possess the strength to contend with Qian Renxue after she became a god.
Who created the Great Sumeru Hammer is now unknown. Each generation of the Great Sumeru Hammer was only passed down to the Clear Sky Douluo. However, now this divine skill is about to change its name.
With his and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's spiritual methods, prying open the spiritual sea of a half-crippled Tang Hao was simply effortless.
"Given his physical condition, to survive after using the Great Sumeru Hammer, that last Blue Silver Emperor spirit ring truly deserves great credit," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said, stroking his chin and scrutinizing Tang Hao. In his spiritual perception, a subtle life essence slowly flowed from deep within his body, nourishing Tang Hao's broken physique.
"Hmph! The Blue Silver Emperor died still protecting him, and this is how he treats his wife? I truly feel it's not worth it for the Blue Silver Emperor," the Ice Empress said, glancing at Tang Hao with disdain, her words full of disgust.
"In my opinion, it's better to just kill him. He still has six Spirit Bones. With these gains, tonight won't be a wasted effort," the Ice Empress said, her eyes rolling, her tone cold.
"I still have a use for him. His life will be spared for a while longer." Xu Tianyang shook his head, raising a fingertip. A silver stream of air surged into Tang Hao's body and was concealed.
On his forehead, a silver pattern flashed by.
Tang Hao slowly regained consciousness from his coma. Disregarding his almost ruined body, he almost instinctively sat up abruptly, his gaze sweeping around.
First to catch his eye was a bonfire, its flames burning the firewood with crackling sounds, tiny sparks bursting forth as it burned.
Beside the bonfire, Netherworld Douluo sat quietly, his eyes closed as if deep in thought.
Around him, the giant Undead Bone Dragon lay still, and in its massive eyes, two ghostly flames glowed faintly, looking towards Tang Hao.
"You're awake," Netherworld Douluo's hoarse voice sounded in Tang Hao's ears.
Turning his head, he met the other's scarlet eyes, and a figure instantly flashed through Tang Hao's mind.
In the scarlet arena of Slaughter City, the Slaughter King sat on a throne, enveloped in substantial killing intent.
"Why did you save me?" Tang Hao frowned, looking at Netherworld Douluo. There was no such thing as a free lunch; the other party must have an ulterior motive.
"Because we are the same kind of people," Netherworld Douluo said, a half-smile playing on his lips, as he quietly watched Tang Hao.
"You are an Evil Soul Master. How could I, Tang Hao, associate with someone like you?" Tang Hao made no attempt to hide the disgust in his eyes, even though the other party had just saved his life.
"Hehehe, having come out of Slaughter City, will the blood on your hands, Tang Hao, be any less than mine? Don't deceive yourself; the Slaughter God Domain is the best proof," Netherworld Douluo couldn't help but mock.
"Everyone in Slaughter City is a heinous criminal. How can they compare to you fallen Spirit Masters who slaughter wantonly? Don't try to confuse the issue." A scarlet light flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.
"I won't argue with you. I saved your life, Clear Sky Douluo. How do you intend to repay me?"
"You want me to do things for you? Delusional."
"Is that so?" A scarlet light flashed in Netherworld Douluo's eyes, and he slowly said, "Moon Pavilion, Saint Spirit Village, Shrek..."
"Enough! I agree!" Before Netherworld Douluo could finish, Tang Hao suddenly roared, a nameless fear flashing in his eyes.
"Hehehe, don't worry. Although I am an Evil Soul Master, I still have a bottom line when it comes to allies."
"What you need to do is very simple: take this into the Hell Road in Slaughter City."
A snow-white herb was presented before Tang Hao. It was completely white, each blade of grass seeming to drip water, long and curved, looking like a swan's neck.
