Chapter 73: Death by Backlash, Tang Hao Perishes Completely!
Tang Hao shifted his angle of attack. The Clear Sky True Body he unleashed now carried an Aura capable of destroying everything as it smashed toward Chu Chen. If this strike hit, forget Chu Chen—
Even an ordinary Titled Douluo would likely be heavily injured or even perish instantly if they were careless. In his frenzied state, all of Tang Hao's attacks were driven by a sense of utter desperation.
"Pfft!"
Tang Hao spat out a large mouthful of blood. Such a frantic battle had complicated his internal injuries, causing his Aura to wither.
But as long as he could kill Chu Chen, he would have avenged Ah Yin!
Chu Chen had absolutely no way to dodge this hammer strike.
Just as Tang Hao thought, the space around Chu Chen was completely locked down by this hammer, making it impossible to evade, even though Chu Chen himself was gathering the terrifying desolate energy from the surroundings.
"Chu Chen!"
Dugu Bo's face turned pale as he rushed toward Chu Chen's location at his maximum speed.
"Old Poison, attack Tang Hao with everything you've got?!"
Enveloped by the Blue Silver Domain, Dugu Bo suddenly heard Chu Chen's voice. In such an emergency, he actually wanted him to attack Tang Hao?!
"What on earth is this kid doing?!"
Dugu Bo shouted in anxiety.
The golden dragon spear in Chu Chen's hand erupted with brilliant light, transforming into a true dragon as it lunged toward Tang Hao!
However, to avoid a direct collision between the golden dragon spear and the Clear Sky Hammer, Chu Chen chose to directly activate the Soft Bones Rabbit leg Soul Bone skill, Teleportation.
Through Teleportation, Chu Chen actually appeared in front of the golden dragon spear.
He intended to use his own Physical Body to directly confront the Clear Sky True Body.
In Tang Hao's eyes, this was undoubtedly suicide!
"Chu Chen, you're looking for death! Even if my Meridians are shattered and I become a cripple after this battle, as long as I kill you, no one will be able to threaten Little San anymore!"
Tang Hao laughed loudly, appearing almost insane.
He was too confident in his own strength, and in truth, he had reason to be; even if Dugu Bo and Chu Chen combined their full strength, they wouldn't be able to block this hammer!
This was the power of his Level 96 self unleashing the Clear Sky True Body without regard for the cost; therefore, Chu Chen was certainly doomed to die from this strike.
"Soft Bones Rabbit Soul Bone skill, Paragon Golden Body!"
A piercing golden light erupted from Chu Chen's body, making his entire being appear incredibly ethereal.
"Boom—!"
Under Tang Hao's hideous gaze, the Clear Sky True Body smashed directly into Chu Chen's body. Instantly, golden light flared, obscuring everything.
As the energy storm raged, it was almost impossible for a mere Soul King like Chu Chen to survive. Had it not been for the Paragon Golden Body, that would indeed have been the case.
A streak of light shot through, piercing Tang Hao's shoulder!
"What..."
Tang Hao stared in disbelief at the golden dragon spear piercing his shoulder. Shouldn't Chu Chen have been reduced to ashes by his hammer? How could he still attack!
"Tang Hao, I'm not dead. Today, it is you who dies."
Chu Chen shouted as he charged out of the energy storm completely unharmed. The Paragon Golden Body had blocked Tang Hao's strike. Dugu Bo had already reacted, gathering all of his Soul Power.
The Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor Poison exploded as Dugu Bo struck Tang Hao directly in his pierced shoulder!
The potent poison spread, corroding Tang Hao's body.
"You!"
Tang Hao's eyes nearly split from rage.
"Tang Hao, go to hell."
Dugu Bo said coldly. The Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor Poison instantly corroded Tang Hao's heart Meridians. There was no way he could survive. Even though a Titled Douluo's Physical Body was incredibly strong, their internal organs remained fragile.
Having his internal organs corroded by such terrifying Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor Poison...
He was doomed to die!
"Ah! I'll take you all with me!"
Tang Hao roared at the sky. His nine Soul Rings flared simultaneously, and then a majestic force that made space itself tremble erupted from within his body.
His nine Soul Rings were boiling, and cracks began to appear on them.
"Great Sumeru Hammer, Nine Ring Detonation!"
Tang Hao unleashed his final, desperate strike—it was his strongest attack. He directly exploded all nine of his Soul Rings at once. The power erupted in that instant brought him infinitely close to the Realm of a god!
"Old Poison, retreat!"
Chu Chen shouted, signaling Dugu Bo to avoid the brunt of the attack.
Tang Hao choosing to release the Nine Ring Detonation at this moment meant he had already resolved to die. This was his ultimate strike!
If a Level 97 Tang Hao in his prime performed the Nine Ring Detonation, he would possess the power of a god; after all, he was able to repel Bibi Dong in her Rakshasa God state.
But now, at Level 96 and with severe internal injuries, this strike only faintly possessed the power of a demigod.
"This Tang Hao is too terrifying. How can he still release such horrific power?!"
Dugu Bo's voice was shrill. He had already exhausted most of his Soul Power in the previous battle, yet Tang Hao could actually experience a final surge of life to release such a terrifying blow?
"This is already his strongest strike. You and I cannot block it."
Chu Chen quickly used the Blue Silver Domain to gather majestic life force and restore his Soul Power.
"Boom—!"
Tang Hao was covered in blood, but his Aura was incredibly terrifying, like a god of slaughter. In the state of the Nine Ring Detonation, he could almost kill any Titled Douluo.
If anyone could possibly survive, it would perhaps only be the three of them: Qian Daoliu, High Priestess Poseidon, and Tang Chen.
"Ugh!"
But before the hammer could even be swung, Tang Hao let out a muffled groan. That terrifying power instantly dissipated, and his body plummeted to the ground.
He spat out a large mouthful of blood, his eyes vacant.
Even Chu Chen showed a look of bewilderment. Had this guy's body failed to withstand the terrifying backlash of the Nine Ring Detonation? Was he about to die because he simply couldn't handle it?
"His Aura has withered, his Meridians are shattered, and with such injuries, he forced the Nine Ring Detonation... he killed himself..."
Chu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He and Dugu Bo approached Tang Hao. They saw Tang Hao's entire body twitching, blood still pouring from his mouth and bleeding from all seven facial orifices!
The Clear Sky Hammer that had fallen to the side was also shattered into pieces.
"Pfft—!"
Tang Hao spat blood once more, his life force completely extinguished. The Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor Poison had already corroded his heart. No matter what, he could not survive.
Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel a bit conflicted.
"The continent's youngest Titled Douluo, to end up in such a state... how tragic."
Dugu Bo sighed with emotion.
At the same time, he couldn't help but give Chu Chen a thumbs up. This youth, who currently only had the strength of a Soul King, had actually managed to kill Tang Hao like this...
In a burst of crystalline light, six Soul Bones appeared from within Tang Hao's body—a complete set!
Although they were all ten-thousand-year Soul Bones, there were six of them in total. No matter where they were placed, they would cause a massive sensation!
"Old Poison, it looks like we've got quite a harvest!"
