Chapter 314: Kill? Blue-Gold Vines!
"Whoosh—!!!"
Tang Hao, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, brought it down on Yang Wudi's head without any fancy moves. Even before the hammer arrived, the heavy wind pressure had already caused the ground beneath Yang Wudi's feet to crack inch by inch!
At this moment, Yang Wudi had fallen into his final frenzy.
Facing Tang Hao's furious and fatal blow, he not only did not retreat, but instead frantically poured all his soul power, life force, and even soul into the Soul-Breaking Spear in his hand!
In that instant, his eighth soul ring suddenly shone brightly to its limit!
"Eighth Soul Skill, Annihilation!"
This was the strongest single-target attack soul skill of the Breaking Clan, and also their last desperate move!
Burning his origin, condensing everything into a single spear, it was all or nothing!
With the spear thrust out, either the enemy would die, or he himself would suffer the full backlash!
The dark Soul-Breaking Spear seemed to transform into a black hole, devouring all light. The cold light at its tip was condensed to its extreme, carrying a chilling aura of death. Ignoring the descending Clear Sky Hammer, it relentlessly thrust towards Tang Hao's heart!
He was willing to fight fire with fire, to exchange his life for Tang Hao's!
Even if his own head was shattered by the Clear Sky Hammer,
he would still pierce Tang Hao's heart with the Soul-Breaking Spear at this final moment!
The hammer's shadow was like a mountain, the spear's light like a poisonous dragon!
The two forces, each imbued with their master's extreme rage and killing intent, rapidly approached each other in mid-air, about to collide in a devastating manner!
Seeing this scene, Titan, Bai He, and Niu Gao's eyes widened in horror. They wanted to stop him again, but it was too late!
"Stop—!!"
The three of them simultaneously let out a desperate roar.
The air in the hall seemed to be sucked out in that instant, time seemed to stretch infinitely, and the attack trajectories of the two figures rapidly magnified in everyone's horrified eyes!
In the blink of an eye, the Clear Sky Hammer and the Soul-Breaking Spear collided.
Instantly, soul power raged and roared throughout the hall!
The sharp black light of the Soul-Breaking Spear and the heavy dark light of the Clear Sky Hammer intertwined and collided wildly!
Each impact erupted with a deafening clang of metal against metal and ripples of energy shock, shattering and sending flying all the tables, chairs, porcelain, and decorations in the hall!
Spiderweb-like cracks quickly spread across the sturdy walls and beams.
However, the difference in strength was ultimately an insurmountable chasm.
Yang Wudi's eighth soul skill was indeed brutal and domineering, carrying a resolute determination to perish together, but Tang Hao's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, unleashed in anger, was even more terrifyingly powerful with the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit in the world, combined with his immense soul power and combat experience as a level 96 Title Douluo!
After only a few exchanges, the overwhelming force of the hammer completely suppressed the sharpness of the Soul-Breaking Spear. Yang Wudi felt as if each hammer blow was a mountain crashing down, the impact causing his arms to nearly split open, his tiger's mouth already a bloody mess, and the light on the spear quickly dimmed.
"Clang—!!!"
Another heavy, unadorned collision rang out!
This time, Yang Wudi could no longer withstand it. The Soul-Breaking Spear was violently smashed upwards by the Clear Sky Hammer, leaving him completely exposed!
A cold glint flashed in Tang Hao's eyes, and he seized this fleeting opening. The Clear Sky Hammer, still carrying momentum, swept horizontally and slammed solidly into Yang Wudi's chest!
"Pfft—!"
Yang Wudi was struck as if by lightning, his entire body flying backwards like a kite with a broken string, spitting out blood that drew a gruesome line in the air!
Finally, his body crashed heavily into a thick stone pillar supporting the hall!
"Boom!"
The stone pillar trembled violently, its surface shattering into countless fragments.
The next second, Yang Wudi slid down the pillar to the ground, spitting out another mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. His face was ashen, his aura instantly weakening to the extreme, and he couldn't even hold onto the Soul-Breaking Spear, which fell to the side.
He struggled to stand up, but only twitched a few times in vain, staring at Tang Hao with eyes filled with extreme hatred.
"Old Goat!" Niu Gao's eyes widened in fury at the sight!
His decades-long brotherhood with Yang Wudi was deeply ingrained, and seeing his brother so badly injured, Niu Gao's anger and the last trace of respect for Tang Hao vanished completely!
"Tang Hao! I'll fuck your ancestors! You ungrateful, ruthless bastard!!"
With a furious roar, Niu Gao's eighth spirit ring shone brightly! He instantly completed the Martial Soul Possession, his entire body swelling up, his skin turning bluish-gray, as if covered with a thick layer of plate armor, his breathing heavy as a bull's. It was his Martial Soul True Form, the Plate-Armored Giant Rhinoceros!
Immediately, like a raging rhinoceros, he lowered his head, concentrating all the power of his Martial Soul True Form into the single horn atop his head that seemed capable of shattering mountains, and charged recklessly towards Tang Hao! He was trying to stop Tang Hao from continuing his attack on Yang Wudi.
"You dare to stop me?!"
Looking at Niu Gao charging towards him, Tang Hao's face showed disdain. He was currently enraged, and seeing Niu Gao not only hurling insults but also daring to attack him, his anger burned even brighter!
Without even glancing, he swung his hammer again!
This strike, still seemingly effortless yet powerful, was heavier and faster than the one that had sent Yang Wudi flying!
"Boom—!!!"
A muffled thud, like a thunderous drumbeat!
The Clear Sky Hammer's surface slammed solidly into Niu Gao's charging, armored rhinoceros form!
In an instant, Niu Gao's seemingly indestructible defense proved utterly fragile before the absolute power of the Clear Sky Hammer, shattering instantly. His forward momentum abruptly halted, a painful groan escaping his lips, his Martial Soul form dimming and dissipating!
"Pfft—!"
Niu Gao's massive body flew backward even faster than when he charged, spitting out blood as he crashed heavily to the ground, creating a shallow crater in the hard surface.
A section of his chest caved in, clearly broken ribs, his injuries severe. He could only lie on the ground, gasping for breath, too weak to even curse, his eyes filled only with pain and rage.
In just a few breaths, Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Breaking Clan, and Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Defending Clan, both collapsed to the ground, severely injured and completely incapacitated!
Seeing that Tang Hao might, in his rage, mercilessly kill the defenseless Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, Titan and Bai He could no longer care about anything else. Their hearts were filled with worry for their old comrade and fear of the situation collapsing completely.
The two of them flashed forward, simultaneously stepping between Tang Hao and the two fallen men.
"Master, you mustn't!" Titan knelt on one knee with a thud, his tiger eyes filled with tears, his voice hoarse as he pleaded, "Old Goat and Old Rhinoceros were confused for a moment, they spoke without thinking! Please, for the sake of their bloodshed and merits for the sect, spare their lives! If you kill them, the four clans will truly be completely scattered! The great cause of fighting against Spirit Hall will also lose its support!"
Bai He also bowed deeply, his tone urgent and sorrowful, saying,
"Hao'er, even if Old Goat and Old Rhinoceros have a thousand faults, they don't deserve to die! They are, after all, our old brothers, the old members of the sect! If we turn against each other and kill them because of a momentary quarrel, what will the world think of our Clear Sky Sect?!"
The two spoke earnestly, even with tears in their voices, trying to awaken Tang Hao's reason with old feelings and the greater good, and quell this conflict that was about to escalate into an irreversible tragedy.
However, Titan and Bai He's tearful pleas failed to melt the icy killing intent burning in Tang Hao's eyes, fueled by the humiliation inflicted upon their sect.
"They have insulted our ancestors; their crimes are unforgivable."
"The sect's dignity cannot be desecrated. Yang Wudi, he must die."
The words had barely left his lips when Tang Hao's figure blurred, appearing like a ghost before the heavily wounded, struggling Yang Wudi.
Then,
he raised his Clear Sky Hammer high, its dark head gleaming with a chilling black light in the dim light, aiming it at Yang Wudi's head, ready to mercilessly bring it down!
If this hammer struck, Yang Wudi's skull would shatter, killing him instantly!
However,
just as the hammer, imbued with terrifying power, was about to touch Yang Wudi's skull,
"Buzz—!"
A strange, vibrant energy and soul force surged forth without warning from the ground beneath Yang Wudi and from his heavily wounded body!
The next second, countless thick, arm-like vines, shimmering with blue-gold light, seemed to possess life, sprouting wildly and spreading from the cracks in the floor around Yang Wudi's body, even from under his tattered robes and wounds! These
blue-gold vines appeared strangely; they didn't attack anyone, but instantly intertwined into an incredibly strong net, then precisely wrapped around and bound the descending head and handle of the Clear Sky Hammer!
"Sizzle—!"
The blue-gold vines made strange friction sounds as they touched the dark light of the Clear Sky Hammer.
A mysterious blue-gold aura flowed across the vines; seemingly soft, yet containing incredible resilience and vitality, no matter how the terrifying power contained within the Clear Sky Hammer impacted and vibrated, it firmly held them in place, preventing them from falling in mid-air!
The hammerhead was only inches from Yang Wudi's head, yet it could no longer fall even an inch!
"What?!"
"This is... the Blue Silver Emperor?"
Looking at the scene before him, Tang Hao's expression underwent a complete transformation! Because this blue-gold light... was all too familiar to him!
