Tang Hao saw the Soul Rings on Jin Mian's body.
It was as if he had seen a ghost.
Never mind that the first ring was a 10,000-year one, but there were also three f*cking 100,000-year spirit rings?!
What was going on?
He had only been in seclusion for a few years.
Had 100,000-year spirit rings become so worthless!
And what the hell was that golden Soul Ring?
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Golden Crocodile Avatar!"
"Roar!!!"
As the seventh Soul Ring bloomed with a seductive red light.
The phantom of the Golden Crocodile King behind him let out a roar from ancient times.
Following that, the phantom began to solidify, and its size gradually became incredibly massive.
All of his body's attributes received a massive boost.
"First Spirit Ability, Dark Gold Tyrant Body!"
"Second Spirit Ability, Golden Flash!"
Jin Mian condensed his spirit power and released two Martial Soul abilities in succession.
What were originally only thousand-year first and second Soul Rings.
After being promoted to the 10,000-year level.
The power of the released Martial Soul abilities doubled.
The golden orb of light rushed toward Tang Hao like a gale.
"Insignificant tricks!"
"Today, I'll let you know the gap between a Spirit Saint and a Titled Douluo!"
"Ha!"
Tang Hao was extremely confident.
He felt that a mere Spirit Saint couldn't possibly do anything to him.
Facing Jin Mian's Golden Flash, he didn't even bother to use his Martial Soul.
He raised his right hand, intending to swat the attack away.
Unexpectedly, just as his palm was about to touch the orb of light.
Jin Mian suddenly opened his hands and released spirit power, controlling the Golden Flash to take a turn and avoid Tang Hao's palm.
After circling behind him, he exerted a sudden force.
Boom!
The orb of light hit Tang Hao's back.
Tang Hao frowned deeply and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Clearly.
The damage caused by that strike just now was enough for even a Titled Douluo like him to feel some pain.
What surprised him even more was.
This kid's degree of control over spirit power was actually so high.
A Spirit Ability that was already launched could actually turn corners.
"A decent strike, just right for scratching an itch."
"Now it's my turn."
Tang Hao gripped the Clear Sky Hammer tightly and pushed off with his legs.
His whole body leaped into mid-air.
He raised the Clear Sky Hammer over his head and smashed it down with force.
"Overarching Heaven Strike!"
"Good timing! Behold my Dragon Burst Fist!"
Jin Mian did not choose to avoid this world-breaking strike, but instead intended to meet it head-on.
So what if it's the Clear Sky Hammer?
What could it do?
Did he really think his years of cultivation were for nothing? That the Spirit Bones were absorbed in vain? That the Immortal Herbs were refined for nothing? That the Whale Glue was eaten for nothing?
In his previous life.
A comrade surnamed Lei once said a sentence.
Take life and death lightly, and if you're not satisfied, just fight!
The next moment.
Hammer and fist collided.
In an instant, with the two of them as the center, a powerful energy frantically spread out in all directions.
The energy fluctuations were like a surging tide; wherever they passed, rocks were shattered to dust, and trees were uprooted and burned to charcoal.
A scorched smell filled the air.
This was precisely produced by the Ultimate Fire released by Jin Mian's Dragon Burst Fist.
Iron Sword and Ling Xi protected Ye Lingling.
Using spirit power, they opened a rock-solid protective barrier.
Resisting the spirit power fluctuations that slapped against them.
As for the perpetrators.
Tang Hao and Jin Mian were currently locked in a stalemate.
The strike just now had left both sides feeling astonished.
Jin Mian was astonished that Tang Hao had neglected his cultivation all these years and his internal injuries hadn't healed, yet he could still possess such power.
Tang Hao was surprised that Jin Mian was only a mere Spirit Saint.
Yet he could actually remain at a standstill with himself.
The Overarching Heaven Strike he had just performed was a unique legacy Spirit Ability of the Clear Sky Sect.
Although he had only used sixty percent of his strength.
Even with sixty percent strength, even a Titled Douluo of the same rank would have to temporarily avoid its sharp edge.
But he hadn't expected this kid to actually take it head-on.
Tang Hao's brows were tightly furrowed, and the gaze he looked at Jin Mian with became increasingly cold.
He thought to himself: "No, I absolutely cannot let this kid continue to grow."
"Otherwise, Little San will never be able to surpass him."
"I must eliminate him today!"
Bang!
After another collision, the two of them retreated several meters away from each other.
Jin Mian only felt that his left arm was shaken until it was somewhat numb.
As for Tang Hao, it is well known that metal has good thermal conductivity.
Jin Mian's Dragon Burst Fist also belonged to the Ultimate Fire attribute.
After the two made contact, the temperature of the Clear Sky Hammer rose drastically.
Its exterior was burned bright red.
Tang Hao used spirit power to dispel the fiery energy on the Clear Sky Hammer.
"The legendary Clear Sky Douluo, I see you're nothing more than this."
"That Clear Sky Hammer of yours is probably only useful for forging iron."
Jin Mian mocked while shaking his arm.
Never mind hitting his son first, now he even dared to blatantly insult his Martial Soul.
He truly didn't take this Clear Sky Douluo seriously at all.
Tang Hao's anger surged.
Today, before this kid died, he would make him know the prestigious name of the Clear Sky Douluo!
"That was just a small test, playing around with you."
"Now I'm getting serious!"
As soon as Tang Hao's words fell, a crimson killing intent radiated from around his body.
His figure flickered and quickly appeared in front of Jin Mian.
In an instant, Jin Mian felt that his power was weakened.
And this was precisely the Slaughter God Domain.
It was a Domain obtained through the Hell Road of Slaughter City.
Tang Hao reached out his large hand, intending to grab Jin Mian.
Jin Mian flashed with golden light.
He disappeared from his spot and appeared in mid-air in the blink of an eye.
A pair of beautiful golden wings had grown from his back.
"A flight Spirit Ability?"
"Hmph! Consider yourself lucky."
Tang Hao was dismissive; after speaking, he flew into the air to engage in a fierce battle with Jin Mian.
Both sides exhausted their moves.
The sounds of fist and hammer colliding rang out continuously in mid-air.
The more Tang Hao fought, the more alarmed he became.
Just what kind of monster was this kid in front of him?
He could actually fight to a draw with him.
Especially those strange moves of the opponent, which even he could not crack.
"Fifth Spirit Ability, Rapid Golden Crocodile!"
Jin Mian's fifth Soul Ring lit up.
A huge Jin E manifested and quickly rushed toward Tang Hao.
Tang Hao swung his hammer to block the Jin E's impact.
However, after seeing this Jin E.
Something suddenly came to mind.
He muttered: "Jin E... Jin E... Hiss, isn't this that old fellow's Martial Soul?!"
Immediately, he raised his head and asked loudly in a sharp tone: "What is that old undying Jin E to you?"
Twelve years ago.
To avenge Ah Yin, he took the Clear Sky Hammer and smashed a branch hall of Spirit Hall.
And cruelly killed everyone inside.
As a result, not long after.
Just as he was preparing to attack another sacred hall.
The Second Consecrator of the Hall of Worship, Jin E, and the other Seven Great Consecrated Elders all came looking for him.
Without a word, they launched an attack on him.
In particular, the Second Consecrator claimed he wanted revenge and wanted him to pay with his life.
This left Tang Hao very confused.
It made sense for Qian Daoliu to hunt him down back then because he had severely injured Qian Xunji.
But what were you doing it for?
Since his injuries hadn't healed at that time, he was naturally no match for the seven consecrators.
He had no choice but to flee.
But Jin E pursued him relentlessly, the hunt lasting for nearly a year.
Fortunately, at that time.
A major event suddenly occurred in Spirit Hall.
Only then did the Seven Great Consecrated Elders stop their pursuit of him and return to Spirit Hall...
