Although he managed to escape from Tang Hao's hands, Dugu Bo's situation was not good either—the poison backlash was acting up.
Rumble——
With a battle at the Titled Douluo level erupting, all kinds of dazzling soul skills were unleashed, producing deafening roars.
After a quarter of an hour, Tang Hao only felt his injuries worsening. Even the hand wielding the hammer was beginning to weaken.
But that was not the worst part. The most important issue was that his soul power was already less than ten percent remaining and was rapidly running dry.
Sensing his defeat, Tang Hao immediately grew anxious and mocked the people surrounding him: "A bunch of cowards, only knowing how to hide and sneak around! Do you not have the courage to fight me head-on?!"
"You really think we're afraid of you? Ninth Soul Skill, Void Shadow!"
At this moment, seeing Tang Hao on the verge of collapse, Ghost Leopard Douluo—who had a close relationship with Demon Bear Douluo—flashed his eyes coldly. His ninth soul ring lit up, transforming into countless black leopard phantoms that rushed toward Tang Hao.
Under normal circumstances, Ghost Leopard Douluo would never dare to do this, but now Tang Hao was clearly at the end of his rope. He might truly be able to fight him.
And if he could personally kill Tang Hao, the benefits would be immense. Whether it was Bibi Dong or the Great Worship, he would receive enormous rewards.
Simply put—seeing a heavily injured target made him greedy, wanting to steal the kill.
Ghost Leopard Douluo was not the only one thinking this way. Another Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall also charged toward Tang Hao at this moment.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo frowned and inwardly cursed: "Foolish!"
Immediately, Dugu Bo quietly retreated dozens of meters, placing himself behind the Spirit Hall Titled Douluo.
Unlike Ghost Leopard and the others, Dugu Bo deeply understood Tang Hao's terror. In his view, the more desperate the situation, the more dangerous Tang Hao became.
Like a beast at death's door—no one knew when it would unleash its final strike.
As expected, after Ghost Leopard and another Spirit Hall elder moved in, a crazed light flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.
In the next moment, the few remaining soul rings around Tang Hao instantly exploded. A terrifying energy storm erupted from his body.
"Die!"
Tang Hao's expression turned mad. After forcibly using Ring Explosion again, his body was already like a porcelain doll covered in cracks, on the verge of shattering.
Even if he survived afterward, he would be completely crippled. Therefore, he had to make these arrogant Spirit Hall bastards pay.
Although in his eyes, killing however many Spirit Hall members still couldn't compare to his own suffering, given the situation, he could only take what he could.
Rumble——
A thunder-like explosion spread out. Ghost Leopard Douluo and the other Titled Douluo who rushed in first bore the brunt of the attack, struck directly by Tang Hao's giant hammer.
The others, including Chrysanthemum Douluo, were also affected. Only Dugu Bo, who had already anticipated this and retreated, remained unharmed.
Moments later, the dust slowly settled, revealing a massive crater dozens of meters wide and over ten meters deep.
At the edge of the crater, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, and three other Douluo had grim expressions. They could no longer sense Ghost Leopard Douluo and another elder's aura—it had completely vanished in Tang Hao's final desperate strike.
The meaning was obvious, and it filled them with even greater hatred toward Tang Hao.
Demon Bear Douluo clutched his chest and said weakly, "Is he dead?"
Even as he spoke, his voice lacked strength. Because of his injuries, he had not rushed in earlier—thus narrowly escaping death.
Otherwise, with his personality, he would likely have charged in like Ghost Leopard Douluo to finish Tang Hao off.
"Using Ring Explosion in this state… he should be dead. No—!"
Suddenly, Chrysanthemum Douluo looked toward the center of the crater.
There lay a heavily bloodied, nearly shattered middle-aged man, motionless and utterly miserable.
Chrysanthemum Douluo carefully approached and examined him before sighing: "Tang Hao's vitality is truly astonishing. His meridians are completely severed, his body covered in injuries, and barely any bones remain intact—yet he still has a breath left."
"Since he's still alive, I'll finish him off!"
Demon Bear Douluo stepped forward and raised his fist toward Tang Hao's head.
Because of Tang Hao, his friend Ghost Leopard Douluo had died. How could he not be enraged?
But just as his fist was about to land, a slender hand stopped him.
Seeing this, Demon Bear Douluo looked up in confusion. "Lord Yueguan, what do you mean by this?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo calmly explained, "Tang Hao has committed so many crimes. Killing him like this would be too easy. We should bring him back to the Spirit Hall and let the Pope and the Great Worship deal with him—let him experience true suffering worse than death."
Hearing this, Demon Bear Douluo revealed a cruel smile. "As expected of you, Yueguan! Fine, I won't kill him then!"
With that, he withdrew his hand and began collecting the belongings of Ghost Leopard Douluo and the other fallen elder—mainly recovering spirit bones.
At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo turned toward Dugu Bo in the distance.
"Dugu Bo, I will extend my invitation again for you to join the Spirit Hall. You should understand—because of your involvement, Tang Hao has been captured. The current elder of the Clear Sky Sect is Tang Hao's elder brother. He is not as forgiving as we are."
The grievances between Chrysanthemum Douluo and Dugu Bo were not particularly deep or shallow. It was mainly because Bibi Dong valued Dugu Bo's strategic importance and sent Chrysanthemum Douluo to recruit him. However, Dugu Bo refused to be bound and rejected the Spirit Hall, leading to conflict.
Now, with the Spirit Hall losing two elders, they urgently needed to replenish their combat strength. If Dugu Bo was willing to join, it would be ideal—and all previous matters could be written off.
"Hahaha, saying all this, aren't you just trying to recruit me?" Dugu Bo laughed. "But I, Dugu Bo, have never liked being constrained.
Also, let me remind you—Tang Hao is not so simple. Don't end up suffering another reversal."
In the next moment, Dugu Bo's figure disappeared from the spot.
At the same time, inside the Slaughter City, Tang San suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. He muttered in shock: "How could he die? Why does my heart hurt? Could it be that Xiao Wu is in danger?"
...
Above the endless sea, among the clouds, a blue figure streaked forward in a straight line at high speed.
On the back of Articuno, Water Wuhen took out a sea chart and looked at their current location.
"Demon Whale Sea Region. Depth: over a thousand meters. Ruler: a 100,000-year Demon Whale. High danger level. Because it has lost one eye and is rather lazy and dislikes moving, travel via the northern route in spring and autumn, and the southern route in summer and winter to pass safely—otherwise, you will be treated as prey and attacked."
