Chapter 15: Tang Hao: I Cannot Die Yet
Chapter 15: Tang Hao: I Cannot Die Yet
"Sky Dou Nine Extremes!"
In an instant, Tang Hao made his decision and employed the secret technique of the Sky Dou Sect. As he evaded the strikes from the Thunder Pool, he prepared for a sudden burst of power.
The Sky Dou Nine Extremes wasn't about nine skills, but nine ways of exerting force: "Void, Seal, Pierce, Penetrate, Entangle, Shock, Break, Stop, Collapse."
In comparison, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Method, which required charging, seemed somewhat ineffective.
Meanwhile, Qin Xiao had unleashed his soul skill.
The Thunder Beasts were not singular, but nine in total. Each of the thunder orbs around him transformed into a ferocious and terrifying Thunder Beast.
Each was as thick as a water tank, resembling a gigantic python with a fierce single horn on its head.
The oppressive feeling was overwhelming!
"Seal!"
"Entangle!"
"Break!"
"Stop!"
Tang Hao gritted his teeth, suppressing his internal injuries, and elevated his power to its peak.
The four techniques from the Sky Dou Nine Extremes were displayed in an instant. At this moment, his combat power was enough to crush any level 96 Titled Douluo.
Boom! boom! boom! boom!
A series of explosions followed, and the Thunder Beasts were obliterated by Tang Hao in an instant.
Qin Xiao wasn't surprised by this. The Clear Sky Clan's secret techniques were powerful, stronger than soul skills. He remembered that in the original story, Tang Hao used a secret technique to defeat the Golden Crocodile Douluo with the combat power of level 97.
Although the Golden Crocodile Douluo was near death and far from his peak, he was still at level 98.
Tang Hao, with his soul power at level 95, unleashing the power of level 96, was conceivable.
And Qin Xiao's current strength had just reached the early stages of level 96.
"Pierce!"
"Penetrate!"
"Collapse!"
"Entangle!"
In a moment, Tang Hao used four more techniques. In the blink of an eye, only one Thunder Beast remained.
And Tang Hao used this opportunity to break free from the Thunder Pool's blockade.
Roar! At this moment, the last Thunder Beast charged at Tang Hao.
But the result was only destruction! "Is that all?"
After doing all this, Tang Hao looked disdainful, "Young man, I tried to persuade you kindly and gave you a chance, but you are useless."
Back at his peak, he was spirited, pointing the Sky Hammer at Qin Xiao, only to realize something was amiss.
Why were so many thunderbolts converging towards Qin Xiao?
"Is this his ninth soul skill?"
Upon noticing the soul rings on Qin Xiao, Tang Hao suddenly understood.
"Ha!"
At that moment, with Qin Xiao's shout, the thunderclouds dissipated.
Qin Xiao reappeared in front of Tang Hao, now wearing a ferocious purple armor.
Undoubtedly, this was Qin Xiao's ninth soul skill, the Thunder Emperor Armor!
Forged from countless thunderbolts, it greatly enhanced his cultivation, speed, and strength.
Qin Xiao estimated at least a fifty percent boost.
"This armor is extraordinary, forged from thunder."
"And his cultivation aura has increased significantly, at least... comparable to level 97 now?"
Tang Hao's heart skipped a beat.
He felt increasingly uneasy.
It was one thing to be an eighteen-year-old Titled Douluo, but a level 92 Titled Douluo bursting with the power of level 97 was outrageous.
And now, with electricity flashing in his eyes, Qin Xiao dove down, instantly appearing in front of Tang Hao.
Instantaneous movement! This was true teleportation, a skill granted by his third soul ring.
"So fast!"
The thought had just formed in Tang Hao's mind when he was sent flying.
Caught off-guard, Tang Hao could only manage to activate Sky Dou Protection.
Nevertheless, he still faced relentless blows from Qin Xiao.
Boom, boom, boom!
Tang Hao was like a punching bag, knocked away and then back again, repeatedly.
"Enough!"
After being struck once more, Tang Hao couldn't help but roar in fury.
Who was he?
The Clear Sky Douluo!
He had always been the one suppressing his opponents since his youth.
As a newly ascended Titled Douluo, he had once repelled the Pope of the Spirit Hall and several elders with a single strike.
Now, Qin Xiao was repeating what he had done in his youth, even outdoing him.
It was utterly humiliating!
"Not enough."
"Only when one person falls and cannot stand up again, then it can be considered over!"
Qin Xiao's voice was cold.
In fact, he had no particular intentions towards Tang San or Xiao Wu before, just wanting to complete tasks at Shrek Academy.
But now, things had changed.
Since Tang Hao had made a move against him, there was no possibility of reconciliation.
Even Tang San would have to pay a price.
A son paying for his father's debts is only natural.
"Ignorant!"
"Do you really think I can't deal with you?"
Tang Hao spoke, his eyes flashing with determination.
At this point, he had only one option.
"Self-Destructing Soul Rings!"
As he spoke, starting from the fifth soul ring, they burst one after another until the seventh ring.
A surge of pure power flowed into the Sky Hammer.
Years ago, it was by using this secret technique that he had severely injured the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qianxun Ji, and several elders.
Of course, it wasn't these three soul rings. But he felt this was enough.
Now his cultivation was enough to match Qin Xiao.
"Self-Destructing Soul Rings."
Qin Xiao's eyes lit up, showing excitement rather than fear.
He had always found this skill fascinating in the original story and was finally witnessing it firsthand.
"Heh, ignorant."
Tang Hao scoffed coldly, charging forward with the Sky Hammer.
However, after a few exchanges with Qin Xiao, he increasingly lost confidence.
Far from severely injuring Qin Xiao, he was now barely holding his own.
"This is futile."
"Just a little more power, and I should be able to hammer him."
Tang Hao's eyes turned bloodshot.
Instinctively, he thought about destroying another soul ring.
But he had to stop halfway through the process.
"Destroying a thousand-year or hundred-year soul ring wouldn't significantly enhance my strength."
"But the backlash from destroying another ten-thousand-year soul ring could be fatal!"
"I can't die!"
With this realization, Tang Hao made a decision. Qin Xiao then saw him finally unleash a soul skill from outside his martial soul's true body.
"Blue Silver Prison!"
His hundred-thousand-year soul ring lit up.
Countless blue silver grasses grew wildly, entangling towards Qin Xiao like tentacles.
"Well, I didn't expect a hundred-thousand-year soul ring to add such a skill."
Qin Xiao felt a bit bemused but didn't just wait to be captured.
These things were like toads, not biting but still annoying, and being entangled was truly troublesome.
Meanwhile, seeing Qin Xiao momentarily unable to escape, Tang Hao didn't attack him but turned and fled towards Shrek Academy.
