At that moment, a powerful gust of wind suddenly erupted outside the tavern, kicking up a storm of dust.
Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan, was sent flying backward. His body traced a wide arc through the air, and his feet dragged deep furrows into the ground before he finally managed to stop himself.
"Tang Hao!" he shouted coldly, raising a hand to wipe the crimson streak from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were like ice, fixed on the massive figure of the man who stood before him, holding a gigantic hammer, unmoving as a mountain.
"Hahahaha—" Tang Hao roared with laughter, his expression grim and his gaze as sharp as lightning. He sneered, "A mere Chrysanthemum. You alone think you can capture my son? You must be dreaming!"
However, the instant he finished speaking, the air solidified behind Chrysanthemum Douluo. A noble, alluring purple shadow silently materialized. The newcomer's aura was an icy abyss, instantly causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.
"What if… I join in?" Bibi Dong smiled faintly. Her voice was clear but carried a crushing sense of oppression.
A total of nine Spirit Rings slowly ascended from beneath her feet, like nine divine lights, illuminating the entire street. The pressure they released was enough to instantly suffocate everyone in Soto City.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.
The formation of her nine Spirit Rings was the classic two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red, with the last being a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring.
"Tang Hao, you seek death!" Bibi Dong shouted coldly, a flash of icy resolve in her eyes. She ignored his taunt about her teacher. She suddenly shot into the air, her figure cutting across the night sky like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for the whistling giant hammer.
The moment Bibi Dong soared up, her legs vanished. From her abdomen downwards, her body became a huge sphere, from which eight thick spider legs grew. Not only that, but her upper body was also covered in a layer of purplish-black armor, and even her face was obscured by a carapace. Below her eyes, four small eyes had grown out, making her look like a terrifying giant venomous spider. Bibi Dong had always been reluctant to reveal her Spirit in front of others precisely because her appearance after transforming was so hideous.
At the same time, her seventh and eighth Spirit Rings lit up simultaneously.
This was a transformation using her first Spirit, the Death Spider Emperor.
Her body trembled, and the purplish-black carapace on her form suddenly shone with purple light. A phantom of the Death Spider Emperor, identical to her main body, condensed and split from her back.
"Eighth Spirit Ring skill, Spider Emperor Clone!"
The effect of the Spider Emperor Clone was to create a clone that possessed one hundred percent of the main body's power from the first seven Spirit Ring skills, though it lacked intelligence and required the main body's control. This was precisely the eighth Spirit Ring skill of her first Spirit.
The purple light instantly intensified. Amidst the flickering light and shadow, a Death Spider Emperor identical to her main body slowly split from within her.
In an instant, the air vibrated violently from her speed and aura. Purple light tore from her body, bringing with it a strong sense of oppression, as if the very heavens and earth were suffocated.
The Spider Emperor Clone and Bibi Dong's main body stood side-by-side, both enveloped in swirling purple light. They stepped forward, soaring into the air, moving to directly meet the furiously smashing giant hammer that faced them like a mountain.
Seeing the mountain-like giant hammer whistling toward him, Chrysanthemum Douluo's face instantly paled. The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in his hand trembled slightly, and he asked with a shaky voice, "Pope… Your Holiness, what should we do?"
Tang Hao smiled indifferently, a unique temperament radiating from him, as if facing an army of thousands was a trivial matter.
"Hahahaha, Bibi Dong, take this Sky-Shattering Strike!"
Amidst his arrogant laughter, Tang Hao moved. The hundred-meter-long super giant hammer in his hand suddenly descended, smashing directly towards Bibi Dong and Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Following his words, his entire body instantly surged with blood-red light. One by one, Spirit Rings slowly rose from beneath his feet. The speed of the Spirit Rings rising was not fast, but with the appearance of each one, his aura became increasingly heavy.
Immediately after, Tang Hao's seventh Spirit Ring lit up.
"Seventh Spirit Ring skill, Haotian True Body!"
In an instant, a massive blood-red figure suddenly condensed behind him. Its outline was identical to Tang Hao himself. Its aura was as sharp as a colossal beast devouring the heavens and earth, and the colossal blood-red phantom stood in the sky. The giant hammer in his hand was like a suspended mountain, exuding a heart-palpitating sense of oppression.
Then, nine Spirit Rings slowly rose from under Tang Hao's feet. They were two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red, meaning his final Spirit Ring was also a hundred-thousand-year existence, identical to Bibi Dong's.
Although their Spirit Rings were the same, the aura Tang Hao displayed at this moment was completely incomparable to Bibi Dong's.
His Clear Sky Hammer expanded against the wind, its entire body slowly swelling under the cover of blood-red light. In an instant, it became a hundred meters long, with a hammerhead like a small mountain.
"Killing God Domain, activate!"
As Bibi Dong's main body and the Spider Emperor Clone simultaneously met the giant hammer, a massive surge of energy suddenly collided in the air.
Immediately, a deafening roar tore through the night sky of Soto City, as if heaven and earth trembled, and the shockwave swept out like a tide in all directions.
Spirit Masters below rank seventy all had their minds go blank, and many fainted on the ground amidst the indescribable violent roar.
At this moment, the Shrek Academy group had fled to the East Gate of Soto City.
"Little San, stop looking! Hurry out of the city!" Yu Xiaogang's urgent voice startled Tang San, yanking him back to reality from his shock.
Tang San suddenly raised his head. Purple light flashed in his eyes as his Purple Demon Eye instantly activated, and his sharp gaze pierced through the night to look into the distance. However, the enormous explosion they had just heard still echoed in their ears.
Just as Tang San was wondering what was happening, he saw the giant hammer in the blood-red phantom's hand. He was startled, and the purple light in his eyes flickered slightly. "This hammer, how can it be exactly like my second Spirit?"
"Mm," Tang San nodded slightly, temporarily suppressing the doubts in his heart, and no longer hesitated, continuing to follow Yu Xiaogang as they rapidly moved toward outside the city.
At the same time, under an ancient tree outside Soto City, there stood an extremely burly middle-aged man with a head of fiery red hair, dressed in red, and an imprint of a three-headed mastiff on the center of his forehead.
Slowly raising his eyes, the man's gaze pierced through the air, looking directly at Soto City, where a loud noise was coming from not far away. His brows instantly furrowed, and he muttered in a low voice, "Not good, I feel that little granny is in the city… nothing happened to her, did it?"
"Could it be…?"
After speaking, the middle-aged man dared not show any slack. His entire body suddenly shook, and he transformed into a crimson ray of light, rapidly flying towards Soto City.
