Chapter 35: Tang Hao Makes His Move
Read New Book In Profile:
Douluo: Summoner Of Nine Treasure Clan
Just as Chrysanthemum Douluo was ecstatic over his increase in strength, and the various major powers of the continent were shaken by the "Immortal Grade Spirit" and generous rewards.
A figure like Gui Mei was swiftly passing over mountains and rivers.
Its target was Shrek Academy in Suotuo City, Balak Kingdom.
This figure was enveloped in faint black mist, possessing a cold and ethereal aura.
It was none other than Ghost Douluo, Gui Mei, who had been ordered by the Supreme Pontiff to capture Xiao Wu, the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast who had taken human form!
Naturally, he also saw the information regarding Yue Guan's Martial Soul making the list on the heavenly curtain.
He saw the golden pillar of light soaring into the sky in the distance.
The corner of Gui Mei's mouth, hidden in the shadows, twitched slightly, feeling genuine happiness for his old partner in his heart.
"That Old Chrysanthemum has decent luck. An Immortal Grade Spirit... Hmph, he certainly got to show off this time."
Gui Mei muttered inwardly, his tone carrying a hint of imperceptible envy.
He and Yue Guan had been partners for decades, sharing an exceptionally close relationship.
Although they often bickered, their feelings were deep.
Yue Guan's increase in strength was of great benefit to Spirit Hall and to their combined Spirit Fusion Technique, the "Two Extremes Stillness Domain."
However, this happiness was quickly replaced by a hint of anxiety.
"Even Old Chrysanthemum's Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum only ranked sixth... then my Martial Soul..."
Gui Mei's heart sank.
His Martial Soul was extremely unique, having mutated through death, a combination of the mutation of his Innate Spirit and Soul Awakening, making it a bizarre existence unique to the Douluo Continent.
He believed his uniqueness was definitely not inferior to Yue Guan's, but the Heavenly Ranking was unpredictable, and he wasn't completely confident.
"Forget it, now is not the time to worry about this."
Gui Mei shook off the distracting thoughts, his eyes becoming cold and sharp once more.
"His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff's command is paramount. I must rush to Shrek Academy immediately and capture that Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast!"
According to intelligence, Shrek Academy only had Flender and Zhao Wuji, two Soul Saints, plus Yu Xiaogang, the Theoretical Grandmaster. They were nothing to fear.
He alone was enough to sweep them aside!
Thinking this, Gui Mei increased his speed again, his figure transforming into an almost invisible Phantom Shadow.
Tearing through the air, he sped away... Shrek Academy.
The atmosphere was so heavy it could almost drip water.
After Tang Hao left with Tang San and Xiao Wu, Flender, Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, and those who remained—Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the others—
immediately packed their bags at the fastest possible speed.
"Hurry! Everyone keep up!"
"We must leave the vicinity of Suotuo City immediately!"
Flender's face was ashen, his voice urgent. He spread his Owl Spirit Wings, maintaining vigilance in the air.
Zhao Wuji guarded the front of the team like an iron tower, his expression heavy. Yu Xiaogang kept urging the children, his brows tightly furrowed, his heart filled with worry for the future.
However, just as they stepped out of the academy's dilapidated gate, preparing to make their escape... "Buzz!"
A cold, deathly silent aura, seemingly capable of freezing the Soul, descended without warning.
The surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and the light became dim.
Distorted, blurred ghost shadows appeared out of thin air.
They let out silent howls, instantly surrounding everyone from Shrek Academy, as if they had fallen into the Senluo Ghost Domain!
"Oh? And where might you all be... trying to go?"
A strange, mocking, and chillingly murderous voice seemed to come from all directions.
It was erratic, sending chills down their spines.
"This is bad!"
Yu Xiaogang sensed this familiar and terrifying aura, combined with the omnipresent ghost shadows.
A name instantly surfaced in his mind, and he cried out in alarm, "It's Spirit Hall's Ghost Douluo! Gui Mei!"
Following his exclamation, the pervasive ghost shadows suddenly retracted, converging nearby like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.
A figure completely shrouded in a wide black robe, whose form was illusory and seemed to lack substance, slowly materialized.
He was indeed Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, who had rushed over!
"Hand over Xiao Wu, and I can spare the lives of everyone at Shrek Academy."
Gui Mei's voice was deep and hoarse, carrying undeniable authority.
"Otherwise... today, all of you will become Souls lost to me!"
As he spoke, his vast Spiritual Power, belonging to the Titled Douluo level, spread out like mercury flowing across the ground.
carefully scanning everyone present and every corner of the academy.
"Hmm? Where is she?"
However, after several sweeps of investigation.
He did not detect any unique aura belonging to a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast, nor the figure of Xiao Wu.
Gui Mei's brows furrowed, and his eyes gradually became cold and furious.
He had rushed here at full speed after receiving the news. Could he still have been too late?
Yu Xiaogang suppressed the terrifying pressure exerted by the Titled Douluo, took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said solemnly.
"Your Excellency Ghost Douluo, there's no need to waste your strength."
"Xiao Wu... she is no longer at the academy. She has returned to the Star Dou Great Forest."
"What?"
Gui Mei's aura instantly became violent, and his cold killing intent nearly solidified.
It made Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their bodies stiff, and even breathing became difficult.
"You dared to let her go!"
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!
Nine Soul Rings instantly rose from beneath Gui Mei's feet.
That terrifying Titled Douluo pressure was released without reservation, like a mountain ten thousand zhang high, fiercely pressing down on Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others.
It made their faces pale and the circulation of their Soul Power sluggish.
"Since you let the person His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff specifically requested escape, I can only use your lives to make up for it slightly!"
Gui Mei's voice was filled with violent killing intent.
His gaze swept over everyone, pausing slightly on Yu Xiaogang, a flicker of apprehension crossing his eyes.
He knew about Yu Xiaogang's past with Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong. Today, he could kill Flender, he could kill Zhao Wuji, and he could kill the students.
But Yu Xiaogang... it was best to leave him for the Supreme Pontiff to personally deal with.
"Xiaogang, take the children and go! We'll hold him off!"
Flender's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a roar. Simultaneously, he and Zhao Wuji activated their Spirit Avatars, preparing to fight desperately to secure a slim chance of survival for the students.
Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the others were already terrified out of their minds. Facing the Titled Douluo's killing intent, they couldn't even muster the thought of resistance.
At this critical moment!
"Buzz!"
An incredibly dull sound of rushing air suddenly came from the sky.
An overwhelmingly tyrannical and terrifying aura, as if intending to shatter the firmament, instantly descended!
They saw an immensely massive Black Great Hammer, wrapped in dark red patterns, radiating endless power and an aura of destruction.
Like a meteor falling from the heavens, it carried the momentum of ten thousand jun.
It smashed fiercely towards Gui Mei's location!
At the same time, a cold and domineering voice, like a clap of thunder, resounded through the night sky:
"A mere Young Ghost dares to act wildly here! Get lost!"
"Tang Hao!"
Gui Mei's pupils contracted sharply, and he cried out in surprise.
He felt the familiar and terrifying power emanating from that great hammer.
It was exactly the Clear Sky Hammer of Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao!
