With the appearance of Demon Slayer and Thousand-Pound Douluo, Tang Hao's face instantly turned solemn. His body trembled slightly as a massive surge of energy flowed from his arm into the Clear Sky Hammer.
"The Clear Sky Hammer?" Looking at the hammer that had suddenly appeared in Tang Hao's hand, Demon Slayer Douluo, suspended in mid-air, changed his expression slightly, then said with a hint of amusement, "If I didn't have a mission, I'd really like to test which is more powerful, the Clear Sky Hammer or my Coiling Dragon Staff."
Tang Hao remained silent. In his current physical condition, he couldn't possibly handle three Title Douluos simultaneously, especially since two of them were level 96 Title Douluos.
He had heard of Thousand-Pound and Demon Slayer; their combined strength was no less than, if not greater, than Tang San's. He also had to protect Tang San and the others, making it impossible for him to fight them at full strength.
Therefore, his only option was… to fight his way out!
With an idea in mind, Tang Hao's spirit rings shone brightly, unleashing his sixth spirit skill. The Clear Sky Hammer swung in the wind, appearing before everyone, and then slammed down towards Ghost Douluo.
The sudden turn of events startled Ghost Douluo slightly, but as a Title Douluo, his reaction was naturally swift. He instantly released his ninth spirit skill, black ripples of spirit power slowly writhing before him.
"Ninth Spirit Skill, Hellish Wraith!"
Ghost Douluo slammed his palm on the ground, and instantly, a huge black vortex appeared, from which a black skeletal arm surged forth, then slammed down fiercely towards Tang Hao.
"Get out of my way!" Tang Hao roared, his muscles tensing, veins bulging on his arms, the Clear Sky Hammer radiating terrifying power as it crashed down.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion echoed through the sky above the canyon.
As the thunderous roar subsided, a black figure was sent flying like a cannonball. Its feet embedded themselves firmly in the earth, and it staggered back more than ten meters before crashing heavily into a stone wall. The wall shattered, sending dirt flying. At
that moment, everyone's gaze fell upon the disheveled figure—none other than Ghost Douluo, the level 95 titled Douluo who had come to kill them.
The black shadow became clearer, revealing Ghost Douluo's face.
It was a gaunt, dark-skinned middle-aged man's face, his usually shrewd eyes now showing a hint of horror.
"This Tang Hao..." Ghost Douluo suppressed the surging soul power within him, then shouted at the two elders in the sky, "Sixth Elder, Seventh Elder, we are here on His Holiness the Pope's orders. Do you two still want to watch the show?"
In mid-air, Demon Subduing Douluo frowned. He was naturally arrogant and didn't care about anyone except the elders of the Elder Hall. Not to mention Bibi Dong, unless Qian Daoliu spoke up, no one could command them.
"Seventh Brother, don't be impulsive." Noticing Demon Subduing Douluo's abnormality, Thousand Jun Douluo transmitted his voice, "Don't forget the task the Grand Elder assigned us. Although Tang Hao is an enemy of the Spirit Hall, the more important thing right now is those beings from other worlds. If I'm not mistaken, the location the Grand Elder told us about is near this canyon."
"But no matter what, Ghost is also an elder of the Elder Hall. If Tang Hao kills him so easily, I don't think the Grand Elder would be willing." Demon Subduing Douluo said in a low voice.
"Just let them go," Qianjun Douluo replied, then looked at Tang Hao on the ground, his expression grave. "Tang Hao, our Hall of Worship only obeys the orders of the Grand Elder. Since that woman Bibi Dong wants to kill you, you can go find her."
"Now, I'm giving you a chance to leave. Otherwise, the two of us brothers working together are enough to take you down."
Qianjun Douluo's calm words echoed through the canyon. At this moment, not only Tang Hao, but even Ghost Douluo was stunned. He looked at the two elders in disbelief, utterly shocked.
"No? You weren't sent by His Holiness the Pope? What are you doing here?"
Tang Hao's face was cold, his eyes unwavering. He gripped the Clear Sky Hammer tightly, a powerful killing intent surging from his body. He couldn't leave now, at least not now.
These people didn't know Xiao Wu's identity as a 100,000-year-old soul beast. If they found out, trouble was inevitable. Besides, the 100,000-year-old soul beast was something he had prepared for his son, Tang San; he couldn't afford any more problems.
"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!" Demon-Slaying Douluo sneered, slowly taking a step forward. His sixth spirit ring shone brightly, and then the Panlong Staff in his hand suddenly extended, stabbing fiercely towards Tang Hao's location.
Meanwhile, at Seven Star Academy.
After leaving the canyon, Dugu Bo and Yue Guan went to a secluded corner and sat down. The two were only acting, so they stopped when no one could see them.
"Chrysanthemum Guan, wasn't your target Tang Hao and his son? What are you doing here at our Seven Star Academy?" Dugu Bo crossed his arms and sneered.
"Old Poison, you can blame me for this?" Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan let out a sharp bang and blurted out, "Isn't it all just acting? If you're not going to act, then act it out completely. Do you think His Holiness the Pope will let me off easy after I go back?"
"Hmph, I don't care. If my granddaughter is hurt, don't blame me for turning my back on you." Dugu Bo sneered.
"What an unreasonable old stubborn." Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan didn't want to argue with Dugu Bo. He closed his eyes, sensed Ghost Douluo's location, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Why are the Sixth and Seventh Elders here too? No, I have to go check on Old Ghost. I hope nothing bad has happened to him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's figure flashed, turning into a golden light and disappearing from the spot.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo's face darkened slightly. He stomped his foot and turned into a cloud of poisonous mist, disappearing from the spot. Since the Sixth and Seventh Elders had arrived, the scene was likely to become quite chaotic. For safety's sake, he decided to return to the students' side and guard them first.
On the other side, the Demon-Slaying Douluo, who was fighting Tang Hao, was becoming increasingly fierce. The already competitive Dugu Bo's attack style was extremely open and powerful. He wielded the golden dragon staff with great force, and in a short time, by relying on the frequency of his attacks, he was even showing signs of suppressing Tang Hao.
"Is this the Clear Sky Hammer, known as the number one weapon spirit in the world?" The Demon-Slaying Douluo attacked Tang Hao while constantly mocking him. In his view, the Clear Sky Hammer's strength lay in its owner, Tang Chen. Without Tang Chen, how could the title of the number one weapon spirit in the world have fallen to the Clear Sky Hammer?
Annoyed by the Demon-Slaying Douluo's suppression, Tang Hao swung his hammer with all his might. With a loud bang, both were forced back several steps before barely regaining their footing. However, the Demon-Slaying Douluo paused, a hint of surprise on his face. Tang Hao's power was truly formidable; no wonder he was considered the Spirit Hall's greatest enemy at this stage.
Just as the two separated, a soft, feminine voice suddenly rang out, "Sixth Elder, Seventh Elder, Yue Guan greets the two Elders."
Golden light surged, and Chrysanthemum Douluo quietly appeared beside Ghost Douluo. Upon his appearance, the Shrek Academy members' expressions changed drastically, and they quickly took a step back.
"Another Title Douluo? Four Title Douluos?" Flander and Liu Erlong stepped forward, protecting the Shrek Academy students behind them. The two gathered their auras and said in a deep voice.
"You protect the students, leave them to me." Tang Hao held the Clear Sky Hammer horizontally in front of his chest, his face heavy, yet extremely domineering, as he spoke.
"Yue Guan? You actually broke through level 95 and reached level 96." Thousand Jun Douluo was somewhat surprised. If the Grand Elder hadn't sent them this time, he wouldn't have known that one of the elders in the Elder Hall had actually broken through level 95 and reached level 96.
"Just a lucky breakthrough." Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan let out an eerie laugh and said, "Sixth Elder, how about we join forces and take down Tang Hao together?" As
soon as Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan finished speaking, a massive energy fluctuation that everyone had to pay attention to swept out, and in an instant, it seemed that no sound could be heard in the entire canyon.
"What the Grand Elder mentioned has appeared." Thousand Jun Douluo, suspended in mid-air, narrowed his eyes, nine spirit rings swirling around his body, a powerful aura erupting, and the Panlong Staff in his hand shimmered with golden light.
The battle between Tang Hao and the Demon-Slaying Douluo also ceased. At this moment, everyone in the canyon looked towards the source of the energy. Some high-level Soul Masters paled, and many low-level Soul Masters and members of the Royal Knights were even knocked unconscious by the energy. Meanwhile,
at Seven Star Academy, Cheng Xiao had already extracted the shadows of many of the dead men in black. The others were initially puzzled, but when they saw the dead Soul Masters transformed into Cheng Xiao's shadow soldiers, they were speechless, their mouths agape.
"So, Cheng Xiao's shadow soldiers are all the shadows of dead Soul Masters and Soul Beasts..." Yu Tianheng was incredulous. He had thought Cheng Xiao's shadow soldiers were attached to his Soul Skills, but now it seemed they were shadow soldiers transformed from people he had killed!
"Doesn't that mean the more people who die, the more shadow soldiers Cheng Xiao has?" Dugu Yan shuddered and said.
Extracting the shadows of the dead to create soldiers to protect oneself was unheard of in the Soul Master world; no one had ever seen it before, let alone heard of it.
Just as everyone was still in shock, Cheng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief after extracting the soul power from the dead black-clad men. Converting these dead into shadow soldiers was extremely taxing on his soul power, but fortunately, he possessed the orcish magic's healing spell, which allowed him a continuous supply of soul power to extract the shadow soldiers.
Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, yellow sand filled the air, and the entire canyon fell silent.
The next moment, space seemed to be torn apart, and a massive teleportation portal appeared in the canyon.
"What is that?" Everyone was astonished, their gazes fixed on the
enormous teleportation portal in the canyon. Seeing this massive portal, Cheng Xiao's expression immediately turned serious. He hadn't expected the portal to appear so early, and the energy fluctuations emanating from it were definitely those of the legions under the command of the kings!
"Damn it, what is this thing? Could it be that the Spirit Hall has some new method?" Dugu Bo appeared beside Cheng Xiao at some point. With his strength, he could naturally sense the terrifying energy emanating from the portal.
"It's not the Spirit Hall, it's creatures from another world." Cheng Xiao's face was somewhat gloomy as he spoke in a low voice.
"Creatures from another world?" Dugu Bo was taken aback and asked with a frown.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao gave a bitter smile and said, "Old Poison, we're in for some trouble now." "
Don't worry, I am a Title Douluo. As long as I live, you won't die either!" Dugu Bo laughed loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the energy fluctuations emanating from the teleportation portal grew stronger and stronger. Finally, roars of beasts came from within the portal, and then, under the gaze of countless eyes, a group of beastmen with different appearances, enormous bodies, and wielding giant axes walked out of the portal.
They had different appearances, but they were all beastmen. What was shocking was their enormous size. Each beastman was at least three meters tall, with fierce looks, bared fangs, and red eyes.
"What are these things? Soul beasts?"
"Humanoid soul beasts? How is that possible? Could they all be 100,000-year-old soul beasts?" Some exclaimed, others made bold guesses, but no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't have guessed that these weren't creatures native to the Douluo Continent, but beings from another world.
They were bloodthirsty, brutal, and only obeyed the orders of their kings. Therefore, their appearance here was not accidental, but premeditated.
Kings loved war; they loved destroying the world's creatures; they loved seeing the world's creatures weep because their homes were destroyed. And these beings from another world were the kings' vanguard.
"Roar!" The smaller orc at the head roared, and the orcs behind him seemed to have heard some kind of command. In an instant, a great battle was about to break out.
"They're charging at us!" Huo Wu's eyes flashed with fire, and his four spirit rings shone brightly as he was the first to charge towards the orcs.
Seeing this, the spirit masters from the other academies unleashed their spirits, instantly filling the entire canyon with dazzling light and a multitude of spirits, their magnificent spirit skills almost filling the entire canyon.
Not only the spirit masters from the various academies, but even the black-clad spirit masters who had come to intercept them earlier began to attack the suddenly appearing orcs in unison.
Meanwhile, just as the Seven Star Academy members were preparing to provide support, another teleportation portal appeared in the canyon.
The portal brought even more orcs, who rushed out, wielding giant axes, leaving a trail of blood and carnage in their wake.
"A bunch of beasts! Let me show you my poison!" Seeing these orcs slaughtering the younger generation of spirit masters, Dugu Bo was enraged. He hadn't wanted to get involved, but now he had no choice.
If these otherworldly beings were to kill the younger generation of Douluo Continent, then the future of Douluo Continent would truly be buried in their era.
"Old Poison Master, these beastmen have extremely high resistance, be very careful!" Seeing this, Cheng Xiao hurriedly reminded him, fearing that the former might be injured due to carelessness.
"Don't worry, my poison is no joke!" Dugu Bo nodded, then his body shone brightly, releasing his seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body. He charged towards the beastmen, stepping on the Emerald Serpent King. In the blink of an eye, many beastmen were knocked away by the Emerald Serpent King, but without exception, they did not die.
Dugu Bo was also startled, but quickly, he reacted. His soul rings shone, and thick green poisonous mist spewed from the mouth of the Emerald Serpent King. In less than a moment, the beastmen around it turned into a pool of pus due to the intense poison.
Seeing this, the other beastmen immediately turned and ran.
Although their bodies had high resistance, this old man stepping on the Emerald Serpent King was clearly not someone they could deal with.
Just as the orcs reached the teleportation portal, they all stopped.
"Pat-pat, pat, pat..."
A cacophony of footsteps echoed from within the portal, just as the orcs had emerged earlier.
Cheng Xiao glanced around. The Soul Masters' expressions were tense. They hadn't let their guard down despite Dugu Bo's presence. Many of them had died fighting the orc army, and even with a Title Douluo present, they dared not underestimate their opponents.
"What a nuisance," Dugu Bo cursed inwardly. He had already decided that once they returned, they would recruit more soldiers. Who knew how many of these otherworldly beings there were?
Suddenly, Cheng Xiao looked down at his shadow.
A mournful wail—his shadow seemed to writhe. This was the first time he'd heard shadows emitting a plaintive sound, as if yearning for blood.
"It's not the right time yet," Cheng Xiao thought.
Just then, the orcs appeared from the teleportation portal.
Giant orcs, even larger than before, stopped a short distance from the Soul Masters.
"Awooo!"
The giant beastmen roared, seemingly ready to charge into battle at any moment. However, faced with Dugu Bo's overwhelming aura, they dared not launch an attack rashly.
In the eyes of the Soul Masters, the pressure emanating from hundreds of giant beastmen was indescribable. They were stronger and more ferocious than ordinary Soul Beasts, even wielding weapons. Compared to Soul Beasts, they were clearly more intelligent.
"This is endless! What are these things?"
"If it weren't for Senior Dugu's help, our casualties would be even greater!"
The Soul Masters were furious, but helpless. Dugu Bo had indeed been a great help, but he was the Poison Douluo. If he unleashed his Soul Skills on a large scale, many Soul Masters would surely die at his hands. Therefore, Dugu Bo dared not unleash his Soul Skills on a large scale; otherwise, he would have killed more of his own people than the beastmen.
Fortunately, the black-clad Soul Masters also joined the counterattack, giving many Soul Masters a chance to survive.
At this moment, all the Soul Masters were ready for battle, but no one dared to rush forward blindly. All eyes were on Dugu Bo, as if only this Title Douluo had the right to choose.
"Damn it, why isn't Chrysanthemum Douluo here yet? Does he really want me to deal with these things alone?" Dugu Bo cursed inwardly. The Spirit Hall had the most Title Douluos, yet they all went to kill Tang Hao's son. If Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were here, these mere beastmen would be nothing.
Meanwhile, on the Shrek Academy side
, Tang Hao and Demon-Slaying Douluo's attacks stopped. The five Title Douluos present all looked towards the direction of the teleportation portal, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
"Seventh Brother, don't forget what the Grand Elder instructed." Thousand-Pound Douluo looked at Demon-Slaying Douluo and said in a deep voice.
"I know, I was just itching for a fight." Demon-Slaying Douluo didn't care and leaped back to Thousand-Pound Douluo's side.
Qianjun Douluo sighed helplessly, then said to Gui Douluo and Ju Douluo, "Elders, although Tang Hao is an enemy of the Spirit Hall, there is a more important enemy at hand. Please come with my brother and me to resolve this trouble."
Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo exchanged a glance, hesitated slightly, and then nodded in agreement.
The next moment, Qianjun, Jiangmo, Jugui, and Gui Douluo flashed and disappeared from their original positions. The black-clad men around them seemed to have received some signal and retreated quickly like a tide.
They came fast, and they retreated just as fast.
However, the reason for their retreat left the Shrek Academy members somewhat stunned. It was obvious that the other party was sent by the Spirit Hall to kill Tang San, but what could have made them retreat so quickly, without even a moment's hesitation?
"Dad, this..." Tang San looked at the retreating Title Douluos with a puzzled expression.
Tang Hao ignored Tang San and instead looked at Flander and Liu Erlong. After a moment's thought, he said, "Dean Flander, since these people have retreated, they probably won't be coming back. I have other things to do, so I'll leave Tang San in your care."
Hearing this, Flander cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, we will protect these children."
Tang Hao nodded slightly, then turned around to leave. However, before leaving, he turned back and took a deep look at Xiao Wu before departing.
Seeing this, Tang San opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't utter a single word.
"Phew, that scared me to death." After Tang Hao left, Ma Hongjun sat down on the ground with lingering fear and said, "Damn it, four Title Douluos! Luckily, Third Brother's father came, otherwise we would have been finished."
"Yeah, we almost were finished," Dai Mubai said with a wry smile.
"By the way, I heard those two Title Douluos say that something seems to have appeared. Should we go take a look?" Oscar suddenly said.
"Damn it, Xiao Ao, if you're going to die, don't drag us down with you!" Ma Hongjun wailed.
"Enough, say something." Flander glared at Ma Hongjun, then looked towards the other side of the canyon, where a huge teleportation portal was radiating massive energy fluctuations.
"Boss Flander, what exactly is that?" Liu Erlong frowned. "Judging from the two elders of the Spirit Hall, they seem to have known about this for a long time. Should we go and take a look?"
Taking a deep breath, Flander hesitated. Judging from the current situation, the Spirit Hall people shouldn't attack them anymore, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
He couldn't risk these children's lives, but not going seemed inappropriate, since Shrek Academy seemed to be the only academy nearby.
Just as Flander was hesitating, a pink figure ran out.
"Xiao Wu!" Liu Erlong exclaimed, seemingly surprised that Xiao Wu would act on her own.
Xiao Wu didn't turn around, nor did she stop. She didn't know what was happening on the other side of the canyon, but Cheng Xiao was still there, and she had to go.
After Xiao Wu's figure disappeared, Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, then followed immediately. She was incredibly fast, vanishing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
"Dean, let's go," Oscar said anxiously.
"Little Oscar, why are you joining in the fun?" Ma Hongjun scoffed, "If they want to go, let them go. What are you, a food-type Soul Master, doing there? Looking for trouble?"
"Let's go, let's go." As soon as Ma Hongjun finished speaking, Flander made his choice. He gazed at the other side of the canyon and said in a deep voice.
"Boss Flander?" Liu Erlong asked, puzzled.
"Regardless, Xiao Wu and Zhu Qing are my students. As the dean, I can't stand idly by." Flander patted Liu Erlong's shoulder, then activated his Martial Soul and chased after the direction Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had disappeared in.
Liu Erlong was helpless. Since Flander had gone, she had no choice but to lead the rest of Shrek Academy to follow.
Unbeknownst to them, on the other side of the canyon, two forces faced each other from afar, the tense atmosphere like gunpowder ready to explode at any moment.
