Chapter 229: Burst of the Exquisite Ring, Escape to the Haotian Sect!
Outside the battlefield.
Seeing that his efforts had caused his "cheap" Uncle Bai He and Yang Wudi to be forced into the battlefield, significantly relieving the pressure on his father, Tang Hao, Tang San couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, even though Uncle Bai He had joined the battle and entangled a Title Douluo whose martial soul was like a Flame Eagle, and Yang Wudi had done the same with a Title Douluo whose martial soul was a Porcupine, his father was still facing five Title Douluos.
Among them were the Title Douluo Ju Dou Luo Yue Guan, whose martial soul was a rare and powerful Chrysanthemum, Gui Dou Luo Gui Mei, and two other Title Douluos whose martial souls were staffs. Additionally, there was another Title Douluo with the martial soul of a Ghost Leopard.
On the side, there was also Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, whose martial soul seemed to be a Spider, watching with an ominous intent. Tang San couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.
But he was only a Soul Sovereign and really had no good solutions.
All he could do now was watch and hope his father, Tang Hao, could hold on…
However, after Bai He and Yang Wudi had each occupied one of the ranged fighters—the Flame Eagle Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo—there were fewer difficult opponents.
Now, of the five remaining Title Douluos his father faced, only Ju Dou Luo Yue Guan remained a ranged attacker. The rest—Gui Dou Luo Gui Mei, Qiao Jun Dou Luo, Xiang Long Dou Luo, and Gui Bao Dou Luo—were all melee combat-focused.
This gave Tang Hao an opportunity to turn the tide.
With the Flame Eagle and Porcupine Douluos now occupied, Tang Hao, facing the remaining five Title Douluos, still appeared to be struggling, trying his best to defend.
Despite the momentum of exchanging injuries and even risking his life, he continued to take damage. But thanks to the recovery effect of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, his Soul Skill "Wildfire Cannot Be Extinguished, Spring Breeze Brings It Back to Life," he managed to recover.
But when Ju Dou Luo Yue Guan began his ranged harassment, and Gui Dou Luo Gui Mei, Gui Bao Dou Luo, Qiao Jun Dou Luo, and Xiang Long Dou Luo all launched another round of deadly attacks, things took a dramatic turn.
At that moment, Tang Hao, whose clothes were already tattered, no longer hesitated. He decided to use his final trump card. His eyes, hidden under messy hair like a bird's nest, suddenly glinted with a fierce, killing intent. He silently shouted in his heart,
"Great Sumi Hammer—Explosion Ring!"
Previously, during the battle, Tang Hao had relied on the Haotian Sect's Nine Ultimate Techniques and the chaotic cloak hammer method.
The chaotic cloak hammer method could indeed continuously amplify the force, and after 81 strikes, it was even powerful enough to wound a peak Title Douluo.
But with nine Title Douluos, there was always someone who interrupted his chaotic cloak hammer technique, preventing him from unleashing the full strength of the Haotian Hammer Soul Master!
But now, he wasn't relying on the chaotic cloak hammer technique. He was going straight for the explosion ring!
In an instant, with a fierce shout, Tang Hao's first and second soul rings flared, their blinding yellow light bursting into the air. A surge of soul power flooded into his Haotian Hammer martial soul true body, releasing a tremendous force.
Wielding the Haotian Hammer true body enhanced by the Explosion Ring power, Tang Hao, his eyes wide in fury, swung the massive hammer with all his might, aiming it at the first approaching Gui Bao Dou Luo and Gui Dou Luo Gui Mei.
"This is the Explosion Ring, not good!!"
Seeing Tang Hao suddenly erupting and using the Haotian Sect's secret technique, Explosion Ring, Gui Dou Luo Gui Mei couldn't help but be horrified. She quickly retreated.
Due to the special nature of Gui Dou Luo Gui Mei's martial soul, she could immune physical attacks while in her martial soul true body. Therefore, Tang Hao's Explosion Ring had little effect on her.
But for Gui Bao Dou Luo, the damage was devastating!
After taking the full force of the Explosion Ring from Tang Hao's first and second soul rings, Gui Bao Dou Luo coughed up a mouthful of blood. His cruel grin faded as his hand, which was about to claw at Tang Hao, was shattered by the blow. His ribs were broken, and his chest caved in. With a scream, he was sent flying backward.
After knocking back Gui Dou Luo Gui Mei and sending Gui Bao Dou Luo flying, Tang Hao continued to roar. His third, fourth, and fifth soul rings exploded in quick succession.
In a flash of blinding light, the violent soul power from the three soul rings surged into the Haotian Hammer true body, making it grow even larger and bursting with overwhelming power.
With a shrill scream, Tang Hao, still howling in anger, swung the hammer again in the chaotic cloak hammer style and struck at Qiao Jun Dou Luo and Xiang Long Dou Luo.
"Boom!!!"
The huge Haotian Hammer true body collided with the true bodies of Qiao Jun Dou Luo and Xiang Long Dou Luo, creating a massive explosion.
A powerful, unstoppable force erupted from the Haotian Hammer true body, sending Qiao Jun Dou Luo and Xiang Long Dou Luo flying through the air.
And it wasn't over yet.
After sending Qiao Jun Dou Luo and Xiang Long Dou Luo flying, Tang Hao, still howling, spun around and used the chaotic cloak hammer style again to amplify the recoil force, adding it to his third hammer.
Tang Hao's sixth soul ring exploded, once again releasing a burst of dazzling black light and sending violent soul power into the Haotian Hammer true body.
With a roar, Tang Hao swung the hammer with all his might, throwing it toward Bibi Dong.
Then, Tang Hao quickly changed direction, rushing toward Tang San.
"Tang Hao!!"
Though Tang Hao had unleashed three mighty blows, his speed was terrifying. Bibi Dong, who had no time to react, only saw a massive Haotian Hammer true body hurtling toward her like a shooting star with a terrifying roar. She immediately screamed in fury.
Facing the Haotian Hammer true body, filled with the destructive force of nature, Bibi Dong activated her 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit's right leg soul bone's teleportation technique and instantly teleported to the side.
The enormous Haotian Hammer true body crashed into the ground with a deafening "Boom!", creating a massive pit over 20 meters long and more than 10 meters deep.
After Bibi Dong avoided the Haotian Hammer, Tang Hao had already taken Tang San and Yu Xiaogang and fled. Watching them retreat, Bibi Dong couldn't help but let out an angry scream.
"Everyone, chase after them!"
With that, Bibi Dong immediately moved, soaring through the air toward Tang Hao's escape route.
Behind her, Ju Dou Luo Yue Guan, Gui Dou Luo Gui Mei, Qiao Jun Dou Luo, and Xiang Long Dou Luo followed closely, chasing after Tang Hao.
Only Gui Bao Dou Luo, heavily injured, struggled on the ground, still working to heal himself.
Meanwhile, the other three—Snake Spear Douluo, Porcupine Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, and Flame Eagle Douluo—were all held off by Niu Gao, Yang Wudi, Tai Tan, and Bai He.
As Bibi Dong led the chase, enraged, the battle shifted.
On the other side, after using six soul rings to break through the encirclement of the Title Douluos, Tang Hao, carrying his son Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, was rapidly flying through the air while using the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone's "Wildfire Cannot Be Extinguished, Spring Breeze Brings It Back to Life" to heal himself.
"Dad, where are we going now? The Spirit Hall people seem to be catching up. What should we do?"
In the air, holding Tang San in his arms, Tang Hao noticed four Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall, led by Bibi Dong, catching up faster than him and his group. Tang San grew anxious.
Hearing his son's words, Tang Hao's heart became heavy. He replied in a low voice,
"Spirit Hall has both agility and flying Title Douluos. Your uncle and the others won't be able to hold them for much longer. With my soul power running low, we'll be caught soon."
"So, we have to head to the Haotian Sect. Only there can we hope to stall the Spirit Hall's Title Douluos and get to a safer place."
"Haotian Sect... But, Dad, at our current speed, we might not make it to Haotian Sect in time! They'll catch up!"
Listening to his father's words and looking back at the approaching Bibi Dong and the Title Douluos, Tang San couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Hearing Tang San's concern, Tang Hao looked back, his pupils shrinking in shock.
How could this happen!!
