...
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Thousands of meters above the sky, under the watchful eyes of the masses, a hundred-meter-long golden-red dragon, carrying terrifying kinetic energy and blood energy bombs that could tear the sky apart, collided with the tens of meters-long blue lightning tyrannical dragon that Yu Yuanzhen had transformed into, just like two meteorites of different colors, without any fancy moves and in a tragic way!
The moment the two made contact, the terrifying blood and qi power compressed to the extreme within Xuan Hao's body exploded completely like a supernova!
"Buzz—!"
There was no violent explosion or flash of light, only a terrifying roar that seemed to shatter even the soul, echoing across the entire Douluo Continent.
A visible ring-shaped sonic boom cloud instantly formed at the center of the collision between the two, and then spread wildly in all directions with overwhelming force.
In the distance, Gu Rong and Dugu Bo's expressions changed drastically.
Faced with the terrifying aftershocks from high above, how could the two Title Douluos dare to hold back even slightly?
The two shouted at the same time, activating their Bone Dragon True Form and Azure Phosphorous Dragon Emperor True Form.
The two massive level 95 soul powers intertwined to form a huge defensive barrier, tightly protecting Ning Fengzhi and the several terrified children within it.
Even so, when that terrifying aftershock swept over, it still shook the defensive barriers of the two Title Douluos violently, and even the surrounding mountains were flattened by several meters under the force of this shockwave!
And in the horrified gazes of everyone, thousands of meters above the ground...
Even if Yu Yuanzhen was a peak level 95 Douluo, and even if the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus's attack power and lightning were extremely domineering, under this completely unreasonable "meteor hits face + close-range nuclear explosion" rogue fighting style...
Yu Yuanzhen's enormous thunder dragon form was like a kite with a broken string. Not only did it fail to knock Xuan Hao away, but it was also smashed down from a height of several thousand meters by Xuan Hao's terrifying impact force amidst a mournful dragon roar!
"boom--!!!"
Yu Yuanzhen's massive body crashed into the back mountain of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan's main peak like a cannonball, triggering another massive earthquake.
However, although Yu Yuanzhen looked extremely disheveled at this moment, his desperate counterattack finally greatly reduced the devastating impact of Xuan Hao's fall in mid-air.
Although he was smashed into the ground, at least... he successfully saved his sect, which was almost razed to the ground today!
If he had hesitated even slightly, or had recklessly chosen to dodge, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would probably have already completely disappeared from the map of Douluo Continent.
After that earth-shattering, terrifying collision, the violent air currents that filled the sky gradually subsided.
A "Golden Dragon Shockwave," comparable to a nuclear bomb, completely depleted the vast and boundless power of blood and qi within Xuan Hao's body.
He hovered thousands of meters above the ground, looking down at the bottomless, enormous meteorite crater behind the main peak, billowing thick smoke, and exhaled a long breath.
Xuan Hao knew very well that although his blood energy bomb had successfully smashed Yu Yuanzhen into the ground due to the kinetic energy of the fall and the element of surprise, it had definitely caused him serious injuries.
But this old dragon was, after all, a genuine level 95 peak Douluo, with a powerful physical body and unfathomable foundation, so it was impossible for him to be instantly killed by this attack.
On the contrary, this smash has absolutely ignited the old dragon Yu Yuanzhen's anger to its limit!
If I continue fighting recklessly like this, facing a level 95 Thunder Douluo who has completely gone berserk and is ready to fight to the death, I, with my depleted health, will definitely only be able to take a beating on my own.
Therefore, Xuanhao, who was well-versed in the principles of "knowing when to quit while you're ahead" and "hitting and running away," made a very sensible choice.
In mid-air, the hundred-meter-long dark gold dragon, which exuded endless ferocity, slowly restrained its violent aura.
With a flash of dazzling dark golden light, the enormous body that blotted out the sky rapidly shrank, and Xuan Hao transformed back into the appearance of a human boy.
He patted the hem of his clothes and stood in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, Xuan Hao mustered the last of his soul power and, in an extremely innocent, even somewhat "admiring" tone, shouted loudly at the bottom of the pit below:
"As expected of the Thunder Douluo who shakes the continent! Sect Master Yu's strength as the number one beast martial soul in the world is indeed well-deserved! My meager skills are nothing but a clumsy attempt in front of you.
I admit defeat! I am completely convinced!"
These words, carried by soul power, resounded throughout the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
And at the bottom of that charred, deep pit.
Yu Yuanzhen, who had just crawled out of the pile of rubble, his dragon scales shattered and a trace of blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth, froze when he heard Xuan Hao say "I admit defeat."
He felt a surge of blood rushing to his chest and was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood on the spot!
"You little bastard! You—you've gone too far!"
Yu Yuanzhen's bloodshot old eyes widened instantly, and he was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
What is this?!
You bastard, you came to the headquarters of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, rubbed my brother into the ground, stole the ancient dragon soul that our clan has guarded for thousands of years, and finally turned into a meteorite and almost razed my sect to the ground!
Now you've taken all the advantages and ruined everything, and you're just going to walk away and say "I give up" and call it quits?!
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
"You brat, don't you dare run away! Today I'll skin you alive!"
Completely losing his mind, Yu Yuanzhen roared and desperately tried to rush into the sky to tear that shameless brat to pieces.
However, just as Yu Yuanzhen was about to go berserk and launch an attack!
"Whoosh—!"
Ning Fengzhi and his group, who had been waiting in the distance, appeared with extreme precision in the high sky between Xuan Hao and Yu Yuanzhen, as if by teleportation, under the guidance of the spatial power of the ancient banyan tree, and forcefully cut off Yu Yuanzhen's attack route.
"Sect Master Yu, you flatter me!"
Without a word, Ning Fengzhi summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
With several dazzling streaks of light flashing by, Ning Fengzhi not only immediately gave Xuan Hao, who was depleted of qi and blood, a comprehensive recovery boost, but also "thoughtfully" separated several beams of healing light, which fell on Yu Yuanzhen in the deep pit.
Without giving Yu Yuanzhen a chance to retaliate, Ning Fengzhi, with a beaming smile and utmost sincerity, began to loudly boast:
"Sect Master Yu is truly a man of noble character and extraordinary strength!
Just now, facing such a world-destroying impact, you actually managed to withstand it to protect the sect, and even showed mercy at the last moment, sparing the life of this junior, Xuan Hao.
I, Ning, am utterly impressed by your magnanimity and cultivation!"
Gu Rong, standing to the side, immediately crossed his arms and chimed in sarcastically, "Yeah, yeah, that really scared this old man to death.
If it weren't for Elder Yu's mercy in deliberately holding back his supernatural powers, that kid Xuan Hao would probably have been struck by lightning and reduced to ashes long ago.
After all, he's an elder; even in a friendly spar, there's a limit!"
Dugu Bo was even more direct, his dark green eyes coldly fixed on Yu Yuanzhen below, adding with a half-smile, "Since the outcome is decided, and this junior has already admitted defeat and yielded, I think that as the dignified sect leader of a sect, Sect Master Yu wouldn't want to continue to entangle with a junior who has already lost his fighting ability and even kill him, would he?"
The three of them, working in unison, effectively put Yu Yuanzhen in a very difficult position.
Seeing the two Title Douluos blocking Xuan Hao's way, and the number one support in the world shimmering with seven-colored light, Yu Yuanzhen clenched his fists tightly in the deep pit, his nails digging deep into the flesh of his palms.
He knew better than anyone that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Dugu Bo's display of force was clearly intended to protect Xuan Hao.
If he insisted on continuing to attack now, even setting aside whether he could break through the combined defenses of these three and kill Xuan Hao, the mere thought of completely breaking ties with these two major forces and starting a war would be a price that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could not afford at present!
They almost got their ancestral hall blown up. In the end, not only could they not fight back, but they were also forced to accept the other party's hypocritical "praise" and excuses!
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has been passed down for a hundred years.
Yu Yuanzhen has dominated the world of Soul Masters for most of his life, but he has never experienced such extreme frustration that makes one's lungs feel like they're going to explode!
"snort--!!!"
Yu Yuanzhen stared intently at Xuan Hao high in the sky for a full five seconds before finally letting out a cold snort filled with boundless anger and resentment.
He abruptly flicked his sleeve, forcefully dispelling the healing light that Ning Fengzhi had bestowed upon him.
He refused to accept this paltry restoration and was unwilling to remain in front of these people for even a second longer.
He transformed into a raging bolt of lightning and flew away without looking back towards the main hall, leaving behind only a back view filled with humiliation and rage.
