The moment Dugu Bo exerted force, a strange chill suddenly emanated from his palm. Slightly startled, he frowned, a puzzled expression on his face. Given the cold attribute of his Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul, he shouldn't theoretically feel cold, even on the most frigid winter day. Instinctively, he turned his head, and his gaze fell upon the surface of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The next moment, his expression drastically changed.
He saw that the spring water had actually frozen. A thin layer of cold light continuously spread across the surface. The hot air was forcibly solidified into icy mist, and the surrounding temperature was instantly drained away.
"This is Killing Intent!? No, it's Tang Hao!" Dugu Bo's pupils contracted slightly as he let out a cold shout.
Immediately after, he looked up, only to find a black figure had appeared in mid-air at some unknown time, exuding suffocating pressure. It was Tang Hao! At this moment, Tang Hao tightly gripped a gigantic hammer as black as ink in his hand. The hammerhead was enormous, as large as a water vat. His eyes were blood-red, staring intently downwards , his entire body radiating boundless Killing Intent. He looked like a demon god who had emerged from Hell, the surrounding air almost solidifying under his pressure.
"A mere Level ninety-two Titled Douluo dares to touch my son? Get lost!" Tang Hao roared in anger after appearing. Then, the black seventh Spirit Ring on his body lit up. Terrifying Killing Intent swept out in all directions like a tidal wave.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Clear Sky Avatar!"
In an instant, a blood-red giant shadow, identical to him, appeared behind him. That figure had a ferocious face, blood-red eyes, and held a blood-red Clear Sky Hammer formed from energy. The hammer's body flickered with a heart-pounding red light.
With a gentle swing of his arm, the giant shadow behind Tang Hao also moved. The blood-red Clear Sky Hammer expanded with the wind, becoming as large as a small mountain, and smashed directly towards the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
At this moment, one of Dugu Bo's hands was inserted into Luo San Pao's back, continuously extracting the Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline , while his other hand was tightly gripping Tang San's throat. Seeing the giant hammer suddenly descending from mid-air, he dared not be distracted any longer. He quickly released Yu Xiaogang and Tang San , and the black light from his seventh Spirit Ring surged, vast Spirit Power gushing out.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Spirit Avatar!"
In an instant, the Jade Phosphor Serpent emerged from behind Dugu Bo. The next second, he soared upwards, stepping on the serpent's head, merging with the Jade Phosphor Serpent , and then charged towards the blood-red giant hammer in the air.
"Boom—"
In mid-air, the blood-red Clear Sky Hammer and the Jade Phosphor Serpent collided fiercely , instantly erupting in a deafening roar, like thunder tearing through the sky. Terrifying energy ripples spread wildly outwards from the point of impact. The surrounding trees were uprooted, rocks shattered , and even the immortal medicinal herbs growing beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were swept into the air by this violent force.
The Jade Phosphor Serpent and the blood-red giant hammer were in a stalemate for only an instant before the former's disadvantage became apparent. Its enormous serpent body trembled violently, and a chilling green liquid oozed from its mouth. Where it dripped, even bluestone was corroded into black holes.
"Kid! Quickly use your Martial Soul Fusion Skill to help me!" Knowing he was no match for Tang Hao, Dugu Bo's gaze narrowed, his teeth clenched. He then looked down at Tang Chen below and shouted urgently.
Hearing this, Tang Chen nodded, then turned his head to meet Xiao Ruier's gaze. Immediately, both of them raised their palms simultaneously and clasped them tightly together. In an instant, surging Spirit Power gushed out from their bodies, then rapidly intertwined and fused. Brilliant golden light instantly shot into the sky, enveloping the two of them.
The next moment, a terrifying surge of energy suddenly erupted.
Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Blue Silver Fate Dragon's Roar activated!
Golden light behind Dugu Bo suddenly intensified, and then a giant formed by the fused power of Tang Chen and Xiao Ruier appeared. The giant was woven from Blue Silver Grass, covered in golden Dragon scale armor, majestic like a Divinity. At the same time, it held a golden dragon spear formed from blue-gold energy. The spear tip exuded a sharp edge, as if it could pierce through heaven and earth.
"Go!"
As Tang Chen's thought moved, the giant suddenly hurled the golden dragon spear forward. The spear tore through the air, its golden light as blazing as thunder and lightning, crashing straight into the blood-red Clear Sky Hammer in the sky.
At the same time, a low, beastly roar suddenly echoed between heaven and earth. A crimson figure suddenly shot out from the nearby forest , carrying monstrous flames and surging Spirit Power, instantly merging into this torrent confronting Tang Hao.
In an instant, three distinct yet terrifying forces simultaneously met the blood-red Clear Sky Hammer smashing down from mid-air! Immediately, heaven and earth trembled, and mountains and rivers changed color.
With the addition of these two forces, the situation in mid-air suddenly changed. The momentum of the giant hammer in Tang Hao's hand began to recede and waver, showing signs of defeat. But he was unwilling, gritting his teeth and forcefully holding on for a moment. However, in just a short time, the old injury on his chest suddenly burst open, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out as he roared:
"Rebellious son! Rebellious son! You colluded with outsiders, plotting for your mother's Relics. You also killed your brother and murdered your father; heaven will not tolerate it! One day, I will grind your bones to dust!"
As soon as his voice fell, the first four Spirit Rings on Tang Hao's body exploded simultaneously. Accompanied by a deafening roar, an extremely terrifying energy ripple swept out from the point of collision. The entire mountain wall of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well collapsed in response , giant rocks shattered, and soil and dust were wildly churned up , as if heaven and earth were torn apart and rolled by this energy. Immediately, this energy ripple shook everyone present, making them retreat repeatedly.
Dust rolled in the valley, broken trees and immortal medicinal herbs lay scattered and fractured. The aftershock had not yet dissipated, and the giant hammer swayed erratically in mid-air, as if it would deliver an even more terrifying blow the next moment.
However, at this moment, Tang Hao's figure flickered and then mysteriously disappeared. Along with him, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, who had fainted on the ground, also disappeared.
A few minutes later, the dust slowly settled, revealing a devastated valley filled with broken stones. Dugu Bo's figure also reappeared. Behind him now stood a tall and burly red figure, none other than the Crimson King, one of the ten great Vicious Beasts.
His gaze swept around, and his expression immediately darkened. Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others were completely gone.
"What!? Tang Hao actually rescued them," he muttered, then couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Crimson King beside him, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction : "Senior, with your strength, you shouldn't have allowed Tang Hao to rescue them, right?"
The Crimson King didn't even bother to look Dugu Bo in the eye, and snorted coldly : "I'm only responsible for protecting Young Miss's safety. If she hadn't intervened just now, I wouldn't have even shown myself. What? Do you want me to be your thug?"
After he finished speaking, his crimson eyes widened. Dugu Bo felt a chill down his spine, and all the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end. He forcibly swallowed the rest of his sentence.
Seeing the atmosphere was a bit stiff, Tang Chen immediately stepped forward to smooth things over, smiling faintly : "Old Poison, if they're rescued, they're rescued, what's the big deal? Although you've made an enemy of Tang Hao, haven't you also gained a lot from this trip? I think... if your Martial Soul can evolve from a python-dragon to a Dragon, it shouldn't be long before your Spirit Power can Break through to around Level ninety-five. At that time, what is there to fear from Tang Hao?"
Saying this, he raised his hand and pointed at Dugu Bo's palm. In the palm of the latter's withered hand, a mass of energy resembling liquid gold water was suspended, glowing with brilliant light and astonishing fluctuations. It was precisely the essence of the Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline just extracted from Yu Xiaogang's body!
A few hours later, night gradually enveloped the earth. Somewhere, in a deep forest, a faint scent of blood permeated the air.
Slowly opening his eyes, Tang San's consciousness gradually returned , and he supported his exhausted body to sit up. His gaze quickly fell on a figure lying on the ground not far away. It was a middle-aged man covered in blood, his clothes torn, his aura extremely weak.
Seeing the middle-aged man before him, Tang San's body trembled violently, as if he instantly collapsed. Immediately, he disregarded his own injuries, almost crawling over, and pulled the man from the pool of blood, his voice trembling : "Dad... Dad! Are you alright?"
At this moment, Tang Hao's old injury on his chest had completely burst open, the wound deep enough to see bone. Just then, a hint of purple flashed in Tang San's eyes.
Through his Purple Demon Eye's perception, he discovered that Tang Hao not only had severe injuries all over his body, but also a purplish-black poisonous Qi raging and swirling within him, continuously eroding his Meridians.
"This... is poison? Dad... when did he get poisoned?" His expression changed slightly, then Tang San's eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying: "No, I must find a way to force the poison out of Dad's body."
Thinking of this, the Eight Spider Lances on his back unconsciously broke through his skin. Immediately after, the Eight Spider Lances all vibrated in unison, emitting a low, strange humming sound. The sound wasn't just a simple vibration, but carried a certain greedy longing, as if urging Tang San to devour something to satisfy their desires.
