However, just as Chrysanthemum Douluo's attack was about to land on Tang San, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was Tang Hao, who had finally broken free. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand erupted with dazzling light, transforming into a towering mountain that blocked the attack for Tang San.
Tang Hao coldly swept his gaze over Bibi Dong and the other two, as well as Qian Renxue in the distance, and said, "As titled Douluo, attacking a child barely over ten years old—aren't you ashamed? Is this the so-called demeanor of the Spirit Hall?"
"Hmph! Tang Hao, no matter how sharp your tongue is today, you won't escape," Chrysanthemum Douluo said as he returned to Bibi Dong's side. Looking at Xiao Wu, who was being held by Chrysanthemum Douluo, Bibi Dong nodded in approval. "Well done!"
As long as this 100,000-year human-form spirit beast, Xiao Wu, was obtained, everything afterward would be easy.
"I have failed the Pope's expectations. I request punishment," Ghost Douluo said guiltily after having just destroyed the Golden Sacred Dragon and breaking free from its restraints, returning to Bibi Dong's side.
However, Bibi Dong merely waved her hand. "No need. None of them will escape today!"
Without Xiao Wu restraining them, she could go all out—even Tang Hao would not be her opponent.
"Bibi Dong, do you really think you can stop me today?"
Suddenly, Tang Hao laughed. Turning to Tang San beside him, he said, "Xiao San, watch carefully. This is the true ultimate technique of the Clear Sky Sect!"
The next moment, Tang Hao's seventh spirit ring lit up. The massive Clear Sky Hammer behind him erupted with even more intense black light, rapidly expanding until it exceeded a hundred meters in an instant.
Then, the spirit rings surrounding Tang Hao began to shatter one by one, their fragments merging into the enormous black hammer.
When even the 100,000-year spirit ring exploded and fused into it, the originally black hammer turned a blazing red. At the same time, Tang Hao's aura surged to a level capable of contending with Bibi Dong.
"Ring Explosion!"
Seeing this, Bibi Dong's expression also turned serious. As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, she naturally knew this was the Clear Sky Hammer's ultimate self-created soul skill—the essence of the Great Sumeru Hammer technique.
With this move, the ancestor of the Clear Sky Hammer had once been known as the strongest on land, faintly surpassing even the Spirit Hall's Grand Elder, Qian Daoliu.
"Hahaha, Bibi Dong, go to hell!"
With wild laughter, Tang Hao moved. The hundred-meter-long red giant hammer in the sky suddenly fell, forcing multiple spirit rings around Bibi Dong to light up.
Immediately, Bibi Dong split into a clone identical to herself. The two Bibi Dongs unleashed countless attacks toward the falling Clear Sky Hammer.
However, what she did not expect was that after her attacks were released, the direction of the Clear Sky Hammer suddenly shifted.
Its target was Qian Renxue, who was watching nearby!
"Not good! His target is the Holy Maiden!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo shouted in shock. Even they, both titled Douluo, felt their hearts tremble from this strike. If Qian Renxue were hit, she would undoubtedly be reduced to nothing.
Thus, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo immediately joined their hands and shouted, "Two Polar Static Domain!"
Although they knew the chances were slim, they had to try—because even a one-in-ten-thousand chance was better than doing nothing.
As for stepping in directly, that was impossible. Not to mention whether they could make it in time, just Tang Hao's Nine Rings Exploding Together attack would turn them into pulp instantly.
On the other side, the moment Bibi Dong realized Tang Hao's target was Qian Renxue, her body turned into a streak of dark purple light, instantly appearing in front of her.
At this moment, Qian Renxue was immobilized by the overwhelming pressure of the Clear Sky Hammer. After Bibi Dong arrived and blocked the pressure for her, she could move—but it was already too late.
The mountain-like hammer had already descended, striking both Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.
BOOM——
A massive explosion echoed upon impact, shaking the entire Spirit City violently.
Even spirit masters within hundreds of meters fell into blank consciousness upon hearing the sound, collapsing instantly.
An attack of Titled Douluo level—just its sound wave alone was not something ordinary spirit masters could withstand.
At the same time, Shui Wuhen, who was studying in his room, was also drawn by the deafening sound.
"What happened outside?"
Shui Wuhen frowned. Then, a pair of ice wings appeared behind him, and together with Articuno, he flew out through the window.
However, when he arrived outside and saw the source of the sound, his pupils shrank sharply. "That is…"
...
"Go! Hurry and go!"
Seeing his plan succeed, Tang Hao did not hesitate and immediately grabbed Tang San, disappearing from the spot.
"Spirit Hall, what you owe me, Tang Hao—I will eventually take it back. That day will not be far."
The next moment, golden and silver light spread out, covering the area where Tang Hao and Tang San had been. But Tang Hao had already escaped with Tang San.
Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were filled with frustration. If their martial soul fusion technique had activated just a bit faster, they could have stopped Tang Hao and Tang San.
After a moment, Bibi Dong walked out from the crater formed by the Clear Sky Hammer, her face as cold as frost. "Despicable coward!"
At this time, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo ended their martial soul fusion and approached Bibi Dong, exhausted. "Your Holiness, what should we do next?"
"Pursue them! Summon the other elders. Tang Hao has used Ring Explosion on all nine rings and cannot use spirit skills anymore—his strength has greatly fallen. If you are careful, he cannot do anything to you!"
Bibi Dong immediately ordered.
She did not believe it. Tang Hao and Tang San's lives were that hard to take—she had so many titled Douluo, yet still could not kill them!
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo immediately went to summon the other titled Douluo elders.
"Mother, I…"
At this moment, Qian Renxue looked ashamed. If not for her insistence on staying to watch her father's murderer Tang Hao die, this situation would not have happened, and Tang Hao would not have escaped.
"It has nothing to do with you."
However, to Qian Renxue's surprise, Bibi Dong showed no intention of blaming her.
"It was my miscalculation. I did not expect Tang Hao to be so shameless. If I had known, I would have had you leave earlier.
Besides, even without you, Tang Hao might still have attacked the Pope's Hall. The result would have been the same."
