—------------------—
Zhu Zhuqing's icy cheeks radiated a bone-chilling coldness and Killing Intent.
With a stomp of her legs, her sharp claws had already pierced Tang Hao's back. At this moment, Tang Hao was still suffering from the spirit power backlash of Ring Explosion, and coupled with the existing injuries in his Physical Body, he had no time to react.
The terrifying knock-back effect of the Eight-Stage Stab of Annihilation became apparent, and Tang Hao's Physical Body was directly sent flying into mid-air by the attack.
However, Zhu Zhuqing's figure bounced back to the ground like a soft ball. The next second, she sprang out again like a spring, once more lunging towards Tang Hao with a powerful stab.
Tang Hao only felt a sharp pain in his back, and a chilling spirit power continuously surged into his body, followed by a dizzying sensation. Before he could react, another sharp pain came from his back. As he was about to counterattack, her figure had already vanished, and his figure in mid-air spun once more.
With his Martial Spirit unusable, he could only spread his spirit power throughout his body as much as possible to protect himself. However, the next second, the sharp impact directly pierced through his spirit power.
Shi Quan, observing from a distance, couldn't help but narrow his pupils, because he discovered that Zhu Zhuqing's Eight-Stage Stab of Annihilation could even step on air. She could use the air to rebound and stab, no wonder it was said that as long as the first hit landed, it would be difficult to dodge afterwards. With the speed Overlay, she could also attack from various angles, making it impossible to guard against, and naturally impossible to dodge.
Tang Hao was Tang Hao after all. Facing the disparity in spirit power, when the sixth stab came, the seventh spirit ring around Tang Hao's body explosively shattered, and dark red flames erupted from his entire body, spreading outwards.
Although the Clear Sky Hammer could not be used, the Profound Truth of Ring Explosion was not affected. Without the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao could only rely on his Physical Body to withstand the heavy blow of the energy brought by Ring Explosion.
Terrifying energy surged from all directions of Tang Hao's body. Under the full-scale attack, Zhu Zhuqing had nowhere to hide. As she launched the seventh stab towards Tang Hao, a brilliant golden light instantly erupted from her body.
100,000 Year Soft Bones Rabbit Spirit Bone Skill: Invincible Golden Body.
After the powerful penetration and attack ability pierced through most of the energy impact that resembled red flames, the powerful impact within the energy immediately sent Zhu Zhuqing flying.
Although the Invincible Golden Body could nullify damage, it did not nullify the impact force, which caused Zhu Zhuqing's figure to fly backward directly.
Just then, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan's attacks were also fully charged.
Dugu Yan's body erupted with scorching flames, transforming into the Fire Dragon King. The power of weaving flames condensed into a Dragon Martial Spirit. Behind her, she seemed to transform into a blazing sun. The Dragon Martial Spirit stared, and as it roared, it raised its sharp claws to grab Tang Hao. The extreme flames, like a blazing sun, also transformed into a pillar of light and smashed towards Tang Hao.
Fire Dragon King Torso Bone Spirit Ability: Blazing Sun Dragon Martial Spirit Break!
Ye Lingling, on the other hand, possessed a completely opposite power. Bone-chilling coldness transformed into nine ice Dragons, condensing. Though called ice Dragons, they resembled swirling currents of water. The nine Dragons intertwined and coiled like a tornado, attacking Tang Hao from left and right, alongside Dugu Yan.
Water Dragon King Torso Bone Spirit Ability: Nine Nether Ice Dragon Burial!
One left, one right, one water, one fire.
The reason the three women had not made a move until now was first due to Tang Hao's Domain. Once they left Shi Quan's Domain range, they would only be defeated by Tang Hao one by one.
After Tang Hao used Ring Explosion, Shi Quan had the three women each charge their attacks.
The power of the Fire Dragon King and Water Dragon King Torso Bones was not something the two women's current strength could fully unleash. After a period of charging and exhausting their spirit power, the two women finally released these two great Torso Bone attack Spirit abilities.
Under the terrifying power of intersecting water and fire, the full-force attack of the two was no weaker than a Titled Douluo's strike.
Without the support of his Martial Spirit, Tang Hao's Ring Explosion power was greatly weakened, and he could only rely on the power of the Slaughter God Domain to collide with it.
The blood light and energy on his body intertwined and erupted. Tang Hao's eighth spirit ring also shattered at this moment.
Of the nine spirit rings, Tang Hao now only had the last blood-red 100,000 Year spirit ring remaining beneath him.
The massive blood-colored flames distorted the space. With a roar from Tang Hao, both hands struck out simultaneously. One hand parried the Fire Dragon Blazing Sun on the left, and the other parried the Ice Dragon bind on the right!
The terrifying Killing Intent materialized, like sharp blades, cutting and slashing towards both sides.
The Fire Dragon and Ice Fire were also forcefully stopped by Tang Hao. His hands bent, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with madness.
"Break!"
Tang Hao roared, his angry roar filled with deterrence. The blood color in his hands transformed into a vortex. The massive Killing Intent, carrying terrifying energy fluctuations, rose up and transformed into two blood-colored pillars of light, forcefully breaking through the two women's full-force attack.
Combined defense, fierce and broken.
One of the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes: Break Profound Truth.
The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes were actually nine unique methods of exerting force. They could be used even without the Clear Sky Hammer, but in terms of power, there was naturally a significant difference.
And now, without the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Spirit, this was Tang Hao's last resort.
At this moment, the small hammer in front of Tang Hao also slowly reverted to the appearance of the Clear Sky Hammer.
Dugu Bo, who was sent flying by Tang Hao's hammer, also rushed over. Shi Quan also caught Zhu Zhuqing, who was sent flying.
Gripping the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, Tang Hao's posture once again became upright. Although only the last 100,000 Year spirit ring remained, the closer it got to the end, the more terrifying and dangerous Tang Hao became.
The entire battle up to this point was not without Shi Quan's deliberate planning. With Tang Hao's strength, if the battle dragged on, he would most likely be the winning side.
But from the start of the battle, Shi Quan had not given Tang Hao any chance to delay. Facing a powerful enemy, he attacked instead of retreating, directly unleashing his strongest offensive.
This forced Tang Hao to exert his full strength in counterattacking, immediately pushing the entire battle into a heated stage.
Because Shi Quan knew that Tang Hao had always had internal injuries, especially after his 'one hammer against seven' at the Supreme Pontiff Palace, which further aggravated Tang Hao's injuries.
Knowing this, Shi Quan decisively chose to go head-to-head. Under such intense collision, Tang Hao's internal injuries would inevitably be affected.
Looking at Tang Hao's upright posture, Shi Quan could, however, sense that Tang Hao's Life force was already in extreme disarray.
If Tang Hao truly shattered this last spirit ring, even if the power of the 100,000 Year spirit ring was released, Tang Hao would inevitably pay the price of his Life.
Now was undoubtedly the best time to kill Tang Hao, but he would face the Clear Sky Douluo's final, desperate strike.
The Three-in-One Spirit Fusion Skill was quite taxing on Shi Quan. At this moment, Shi Quan was panting heavily, his eyes fixed on Tang Hao. Dugu Bo's face also showed only solemnity.
Having reached this point in the battle, neither side could afford to show any weakness in Aura. Both sides strangely ceased their movements.
"Tang Hao, in your current state, if you shatter this last 100,000 Year spirit ring, you will surely die!" Shi Quan stated this fact with cold eyes.
Tang Hao sneered, "Before that, you will definitely perish beneath my Clear Sky Hammer!"
"That's hard to say!"
Shi Quan sneered, and the second spirit ring beneath him lit up.
Soul Martial Spirit's Second Spirit Ability: Dream Illusion.
Looking at the changing surroundings, Tang Hao's hands clenched slightly. Soon, his eyes turned bloodshot. His blood-red eyes stared intently at the familiar scene around him. He looked at Shi Quan in disbelief and roared, "It's you! What did you do to Ah Yin!"
The scene around him was precisely the cave where Tang Hao had buried Ah Yin and hidden her Spirit Bone back then.
Shi Quan sneered, his voice echoing in Tang Hao's mind, "Of course, she was devoured by me. And that 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, I also want to thank you for it."
"And Xiao Wu, this 100,000-year-old rabbit, I've also taken her for you. Your Tang Clan is truly good people. After giving me the 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, you even gave me the 100,000 Year Soft Bones Rabbit spirit ring and Spirit Bone."
"Oh, right, and the Blue Silver King, you must have gone looking for him too, right? He also sacrificed himself to me. Otherwise, how do you think I got my Blue Silver Emperor?"
As he spoke, the fourth spirit ring of the Soul Martial Spirit had lit up at some unknown point.
Fourth Spirit Ability: Dream World!
The Dream World would evolve into an illusory Dream World. In this World, the enemy's emotions would be amplified, and their five senses would be disrupted.
"Villain! Die!"
Tang Hao roared frantically, his entire being seemingly falling into a frenzy. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand was raised high, and a violent Aura surged.
Shi Quan's voice was like sharp blades piercing into Tang Hao's heart.
The boundless rage almost drowned him. The hatred of his wife's murder, the resentment of his Spirit Bone being stolen, the destruction of his son's future, the killing of his son's beloved.
Every single one of these was an uncountable sin to him!
The blood-red 100,000 Year spirit ring directly shattered. Tang Hao spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, and his upright posture trembled violently, but the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand did not pause in the slightest, turning completely blood-red.
Boom!
A massive blood-colored pillar of light shot into the sky, its dense blood-light dimming even the Star Dou Great Forest.
Tang Hao looked at the empty deep pit before him in astonishment, his eyes somewhat blank.
The Shi Quan and others just now were an illusion!?
Tang Hao was ultimately too confident. Besides its own special effects, the Dream World also had a certain amplification effect on Shi Quan's first three Spirit abilities, especially the second Spirit Ability, Dream Illusion, which was no longer false, but like it truly existed.
He had seen Shi Quan's Soul Martial Spirit's second Spirit Ability before. Not attacking immediately when Shi Quan released his second Spirit Ability was a kind of habitual thinking. In his mind, he felt that this Spirit Ability would not pose any threat to him. Coupled with Shi Quan's use of the illusion to change the cave, Tang Hao felt that Shi Quan's purpose in using this Spirit Ability was to anger him.
Tang Hao knew that Shi Quan was deliberately provoking him. Although he was enraged to the extreme, he still did not completely lose his sanity.
But unfortunately, in the end, due to this oversight, Tang Hao made a wrong judgment, causing his attack to deviate and not truly hit Shi Quan!
