Poison Douluo?!
Watching the scene before him, Tang Xiao felt his eyes split with rage. The last shred of hope in his heart completely shattered. Without the support of Dugu Bo, he had to face Gold Crocodile Douluo all by himself. The pressure on him increased several times over!
However, Gold Crocodile Douluo did not give Tang Xiao any chance to recover or save anyone. The moment he knocked Dugu Bo away, he shifted his attack toward Tang Xiao like a shadow that could not be shaken. A cold light flashed in his eyes. It seemed he was tired of this unequal game and decided to end it right now.
To be able to hold on until now is worthy of the Clear Sky Sect's reputation. End it.
Gold Crocodile Douluo's voice was very calm and cold. Right after he spoke, the seventh deep black Spirit Ring at his feet lit up with a dark light under his control.
Seventh Spirit Ability, Gold Crocodile True Body!
Boom!
A terrifying pressure, many times stronger than before, erupted with his body as the center. Gold Crocodile Douluo's big, muscular body expanded once again. The surface of his skin became completely covered by thick, heavy, dark golden scales.
Sharp bone spurs grew from his joints, and his hands turned into real crocodile claws that shone with a cold light. A thick golden tail covered in ancient patterns swayed behind him. Every time it moved, it brought the low sound of wind and thunder.
His head also changed a bit. His forehead jutted out, his jaw stretched forward, and the cold, fierce look in his vertical pupils reached its highest peak. He looked like a crocodile god walking out of ancient myths. After using his Martial Soul True Body, Gold Crocodile Douluo's aura completely surpassed the human limit. This pure power almost crushed the space around him.
It is bad, I am going to lose too. Is the Clear Sky Sect really going to be destroyed today?
Seeing this situation, Tang Xiao's heart beat fast. The shadow of death had never been so close and clear.
I will fight you to the death! Even if I die today, Brother Hao and Little San are still alive!
With a wild roar, he pushed his Clear Sky Avatar to the absolute limit. He poured all the power from the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method and his own spirit power into the Clear Sky Hammer without holding back anything. He launched his strongest attack.
Ninth Spirit Skill...
However, he could not even finish calling out the name of his Spirit Skill.
Gold Crocodile Douluo moved suddenly. He did not use any extra Spirit Skills. He just threw the purest and most violent straight punch in his True Body form. As he threw the punch, the air seemed to squeeze together and then break apart completely.
Wherever the dark golden fist passed, it left a blank space that stayed for a long time. Before the fist even arrived, the terrible pressure made Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Avatar groan under the heavy strain.
Break for me!
With an angry scream, Tang Xiao's eyes turned completely bloodshot. He smashed down with the hammer that held all the power of his life, meeting that destructive fist head-on.
Dong!
A giant crashing sound that words cannot describe echoed everywhere. Time seemed to stop for a second. In the next moment, the dark light on the Clear Sky Hammer broke apart piece by piece like fragile glass. The image of Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Avatar let out a sad cry and exploded into pieces.
Puff!
Tang Xiao felt like he was hit by a massive lightning bolt. Blood sprayed wildly from his mouth, ears, and nose. All the bones in his body broke, and he flew backward like a kite with a broken string. He moved even faster than before, crashing straight through the last thick wall of the side hall.
Bricks and stones collapsed instantly, burying him completely under the pile. Inside the rising dust, there was no more sound. No one knew if he was alive or dead.
In just a short moment, two top fighters were taken down. One was badly hurt and dying, while the other was buried deep under the ruins. The entire battlefield became totally quiet. Only Gold Crocodile Douluo stood in the air like a demon god. After thinking for a moment, his dark golden True Body slowly disappeared, and he returned to his normal look. He had no expression on his face, as if he had just chased away two flies.
Then, his eyes slowly looked across the whole area. Finally, his gaze landed on Dugu Bo, who was lying at the bottom of a deep hole, breathing with great difficulty. He was the closest one.
Let us start with you. None of the people here today will escape!
Slowly dropping down from the sky, Gold Crocodile Douluo's heavy footsteps stepped on the ruins, making loud thumping sounds. Then, carrying a massive pressure, he walked toward the badly injured Dugu Bo. He looked like he was about to start clearing the entire field.
However, just as Gold Crocodile Douluo walked within ten zhang of the edge of the hole and slowly raised his right hand, which could easily crush mountains, a beautiful snowflake fell from the sky without any warning. It spun gently, landing exactly on Dugu Bo's bloody forehead.
Right away, a cool feeling appeared. It was not a freezing cold, but a clean, pure coolness, like fresh water dropping into a dry mind. Then, this snowflake melted silently. It turned into a small piece of very pure, cold energy that held a strange life force. It quickly entered Dugu Bo's body.
Ugh... What is going on? My internal injuries...?
Dugu Bo let out a soft sound, not because of pain, but because of surprise. He could clearly feel that his broken ribs, damaged organs, and even his spirit foundation that was shaken by Gold Crocodile Douluo's great power were being wrapped gently by this cool energy.
Wherever that energy went, the terrible pain went away quickly. The blocked blood melted, and his damaged body began to fix itself at a speed far faster than normal healing. His weak spirit power also started to rise slowly and steadily.
As if triggered by this single snowflake, more and more snowflakes appeared out of nowhere in the sky and floated down. At first, there were just a few, then dozens, then hundreds. In an instant, a heavy snow of ice crystals covered the entire ruined battlefield. The snow fell faster and faster.
Strangely, these snowflakes seemed to have a mind of their own. They could tell the difference between friends and enemies perfectly. They landed gently on Dugu Bo, on the unconscious Sword Douluo Chen Xin in the nearby ruins, and on Ning Fengzhi, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and even the place where Tang Xiao was buried. Each snowflake acted like a perfect healing Spirit Ability. They entered their bodies, removing pain, fixing wounds, and feeding their spirit power.
A bit of color returned to Ning Fengzhi's pale face. Yang Wudi and Niu Gao felt their tired bodies and spirit power get helpful energy, and Chen Xin's breathing became much smoother.
But when those same beautiful snowflakes landed on Gold Crocodile Douluo, Qian Renxue, Thousand Weight, Jiang Mo, and the other people from Spirit Hall, the result was completely different. The moment the snowflakes touched their bodies, they did not melt. Instead, they stuck to them, releasing a terrifying coldness that went straight to their bones and tried to destroy their life force.
Hiss!
Snake Lance Douluo was the first one to gasp out loud. He felt a freezing cold line drill into his body through his skin. Wherever it went, his blood slowed down quickly. His spirit power became heavy and stuck, as if his energy paths were blocked by hidden ice pieces. His body shook, and his muscles became stiff.
The poison bags on Porcupinefish Douluo's body looked like they were about to freeze, and his big body shrank uncomfortably. The two Super Douluo, Thousand Weight and Jiang Mo, also changed their expressions a bit. Their spirit power rose naturally to fight it off, but they felt the coldness everywhere. It kept eating away at their protective spirit power, making it hard to move quickly.
The black-clothed Spirit Masters with lower levels were in even worse shape. Their teeth clicked together, their faces turned blue, and they felt like their minds were freezing up. Their hands and feet shook non-stop, and they almost lost the ability to fight.
The person who felt it the most was Qian Renxue in the middle of the field. She had the Seraphim Martial Soul, so her fire and light attributes should have stopped the cold. But the cold in these snowflakes was not just a low temperature.
It carried an Ultimate Ice that could wither everything. It did not match her fire and light powers at all, and it even fought against them. The golden light on her body shook, and she felt her angel spirit power being slowly frozen by this strange coldness. A natural feeling of fear and discomfort made her frown deeply.
Gold Crocodile Douluo, who was right at the front, felt it deepest of all. The snowflakes that landed on his dark golden scales did not melt to heal him. Instead, they acted like tiny ice bombs, releasing a freezing cold that tried to stop his spirit power and break his strong defense.
Although he could stop this cold for a while with his rank 98 spirit power, the feeling was like a bug that would not leave. It kept draining his energy and bothering him, which made him very uncomfortable. More than that, it made him feel a sense of danger.
What is going on? This snow can heal people and fix bones, but it can also freeze spirit power and destroy life!
One side felt like heaven, while the other side felt like hell. Life and death seemed to be completely controlled by the falling snow.
Who is it? Come out! Stop playing tricks!
In the next second, Gold Crocodile Douluo pulled his hand away from Dugu Bo. He looked up at the sky, golden light flashing in his eyes as he stared at the place where the snowflakes were coming from, and shouted loudly.
In the sky full of falling snow, a blue figure appeared, looking like he was walking out from a kingdom of ice and snow. His steps landed on the empty air, creating circles of blue ice ripples. Wherever he walked, the snowflakes moved away automatically, as if they were welcoming their king.
