A bone-chilling pressure spread through the air.
This—
was the power of a domain.
Serpent Spear Douluo felt as if his spear was being crushed by an invisible force.
His body trembled violently, blood sprayed from his mouth, and he was blasted backward like a kite with its string cut.
After knocking Serpent Spear Douluo aside, the Clear Sky Hammer continued its unstoppable momentum, charging toward Zhu Chen and Qian Renxue.
But in the next instant....
a hand suddenly reached out and caught the Clear Sky Hammer midair.
"I didn't come looking for you," a cold voice said,
"yet you came to me first. Spirit Hall....today, I'll settle everything!"
A man wearing a brown cloak, his face covered with a thick beard, stepped out from the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin–Yang Well.
With every step he took, a dazzling soul ring appeared beneath his feet, sinking into the ground and radiating terrifying pressure.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red—
nine soul rings in total!
When the final red soul ring appeared, the hearts of Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo sank.
A Title Douluo wielding the Clear Sky Hammer.
Nine soul rings.
A hundred-thousand-year final ring.
Only one person in the world fit all three.
Tang Hao.
The Clear Sky Douluo who had slain Qian Xunji, the former Pope of Spirit Hall.
"It's Tang Hao…"
"How can this man be here?!"
Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo exchanged a glance, then immediately rushed back to Qian Renxue, shielding her tightly.
"Young Master," Serpent Spear Douluo said gravely,
"the two of us will hold him back. Find a chance to escape."
Both of them were already prepared to die.
Qian Renxue had not expected Tang Hao to appear here.
Although she had acquired many powerful techniques from the chat group, she had not yet fully mastered them.
She had no idea whether she could defeat Tang Hao.
"I'm in a hurry," a calm voice suddenly said beside her.
"How about I kill him for you?"
Qian Renxue turned her head sharply.
At that moment, she saw Zhu Chen close his fingers....
Crack!
The Clear Sky Hammer shattered in his grasp.
"—Pfft!"
Tang Hao's martial soul collapsed.
He was instantly heavily injured, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
"The Clear Sky Hammer is the number one weapon martial soul in the world…"
Tang Hao stared blankly at the broken hammer at Zhu Chen's feet, now reduced to nothing but its handle.
His eyes were wide open.
His entire body was numb.
His mind—
completely blank.
At this moment, it wasn't only Tang Hao who was stunned....
Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo were equally frozen in shock.
They had known that the mysterious young man before them was powerful.
But they never imagined his strength would be this terrifying.
Crushing the Clear Sky Hammer of a Title Douluo with his bare hands—
Was this really something they could witness with their own eyes?
"So this is the strength of the chat group's leader… so terrifying…"
Qian Renxue stared at Zhu Chen, her eyes flickering violently, her heart filled with shock beyond words.
The power Zhu Chen had displayed completely exceeded her imagination.
Too strong.
Even her level-ninety-nine grandfather had always been extremely wary of Tang Hao.
Yet in Zhu Chen's hands, Tang Hao was nothing more than an ant that could be crushed at will.
The sheer contrast made her feel as if she were trapped in a dream.
She couldn't believe it was real.
But the shattered remains of the Clear Sky Hammer lying on the ground constantly reminded her—
This was reality.
"So the mighty Clear Sky Sect, the supreme Battle Soul Hammer… turns out they're nothing special after all."
Zhu Chen glanced indifferently at Tang Hao, who was kneeling on the ground and coughing up blood.
Then, with a casual flick of his finger, a willow branch shot forward, piercing straight through Tang Hao's body.
Tang Hao's expression froze instantly.
"Y-you… you're from that chat group…"
Tang Hao had once heard his eldest son mention the existence of that chat group.
Seeing that Zhu Chen's methods were not soul skills at all, he immediately guessed the truth.
Unfortunately, he no longer had the strength to say anything more.
His eyes widened in resentment as his body collapsed lifelessly to the ground.
"You can continue with your work. I'm leaving."
Zhu Chen glanced back at Qian Renxue.
In the next instant, his body transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the distance.
"Your Highness… where did you meet such a terrifying expert?"
"Yes, even Tang Hao was killed so easily… Could he be a legendary god?"
Only after Zhu Chen disappeared completely did Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo finally recover from their shock.
