"Sui Sui!"
Tang San's pupils contracted. With Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, his body moved like a phantom, rapidly closing in. Before Qian Renxue could turn around to pursue again, his Clear Sky Hammer attack had already arrived.
Qian Renxue, a trace of blood still on the corner of her lips, looked at Tang San blocking her path. Her eyes hardened, and golden light gathered in her hand. In an instant, an Angelic Sword, shimmering with radiance and exuding a sacred aura, was in her grasp.
"Tang San, die!"
Wielding the Angelic Sword, Qian Renxue fiercely slashed down.
Tang San's expression changed drastically. Breaking out in a cold sweat, he dodged Qian Renxue's relentless assault.
His second spirit ability was not yet cooled down, but his spirit power level was already far inferior to Qian Renxue's. Furthermore, with Tang San's Martial Soul True Body slicing through the heavens, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, instantly falling into a disadvantage.
Tang Sui watched anxiously as Tang San's Profound Jade Hand, which had reached its limit with just a slight touch, would surely draw blood if it landed on Tang San again.
No, she couldn't just sit and wait for death!
Tang Sui's gaze flickered to Yang Wudi, who was fighting the Fat Spine Porcupine. She stomped her foot and soared towards them, shouting,
"Elder Yang, go help my brother!"
Yang Wudi paused. In his peripheral vision, he saw Tang Sui flying towards him, the seventh blood-red spirit ring around her body glowing brightly.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Martial Soul True Body!"
With the Martial Soul True Body in its base form, the cooldown of previous spirit abilities was cleared, all spirit abilities were reset, and the sacred aura's suppression on her also retreated significantly.
"Second Spirit Ability, Benevolent Face!"
Another second spirit ability landed on Tang San, granting him a touch of strength amidst his disadvantage, allowing him to engage Qian Renxue in a back-and-forth battle.
Concurrently, Yang Wudi's Soul Breaking Spear vibrated, repelling the monstrously shaped Fat Spine Porcupine. Seizing the moment when its two eyeballs rolled around in brief dizziness, he stomped heavily and shot forward, brushing past Tang Sui as he rushed towards Tang San.
The returning Thorn Blood Douluo watched this scene in extreme anger and let out a sharp cry, "You dare! Fifth Spirit Ability, Thorn Bone Spike!"
Attack Mode, Activate!
Upon reaching Thorn Blood Douluo, Tang Sui immediately activated Attack Mode without hesitation. This time, both the sacred aura and the Angelic Domain's influence were reduced to a mere one-third. Although the suppression was still higher than on Tang San and the others.
The first and fifth spirit rings flashed, and the sixth blood-red ring pulsed, the nullified amplification once again falling upon everyone, and also boosting Tang Sui's own mask attributes to their maximum!
"Sixth Spirit Ability, Forbidden Face!"
With the superposition of Martial Soul True Body and Attack Mode, the power of Tang Sui's attack reached the level of a Titled Douluo!
Sensing danger, Thorn Blood Douluo's eighth spirit ring lit up, and his round body rapidly expanded, entering an absolute defense stance.
"Boom—!!!"
A massive explosion rippled outwards. Within the sleeping quarters, spirit masters with spirit power levels below forty instantly fainted from the impact. Those with slightly higher spirit power had stars in their eyes, blood trickling from their lips, and their legs went weak, only managing to support themselves in a semi-kneeling posture with their weapons.
"Thorn Blood!"
Snake Spear Douluo's expression changed drastically, but Dugu Bo did not let this opportunity slip by.
His ninth spirit ring flashed, and the enormous Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's body became as verdant as jade and as transparent as crystal.
"What?! Dugu Bo, you're despicable!"
Catching a glimpse of this, Snake Spear Douluo's two serpent heads roared towards the sky. His massive body expanded again, and his ninth spirit ring finally lit up. Facing the enemy's strongest attack, he did not hesitate to unleash his ninth spirit ability to confront the enemy!
At this moment, Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer had once again completed its charge. The black flames burning on Yang Wudi's body flared up, his strongest eighth spirit ability, combined with the Clear Sky Hammer, blasted towards Qian Renxue like a shattered rainbow.
"Boom—!!!"
An even more terrifying roar followed, exploding like fireworks.
Under the combined assault of a powerful attacking Spirit Douluo and a control-type, yet possessing the continent's number one attacking spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, large amounts of blood sprayed from Qian Renxue's mouth. Her body, like a kite with a broken string, plummeted from mid-air, crashing heavily onto the ground!
Yang Wudi, who also landed on the ground, had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Tang San's face was ashen, and he couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of churning qi and blood. But this was already the best outcome.
However, in the struggle against Dugu Bo's ninth spirit ability, Snake Spear Douluo, using his spirit power as a slight advantage, fought Dugu Bo to a mutual destruction. Dragging his heavily injured body back to Qian Renxue's side, he picked her up. Sensing that she still had a breath, he felt a slight relief. But when he looked towards Thorn Blood Douluo's direction, his eyes widened.
The five masks, each with armor-piercing properties, had all struck Thorn Blood Douluo without exception. Tang Sui, who had landed, looked as pale as paper, even paler than Tang San. Her aura, however, was rapidly declining, so weak that she might not even be a match for a level fifty Spirit King.
This was because she had gritted her teeth and used her demon power to condense a fox mask clone and an ape mask clone. Including her main body, three masks had been used, multiplying the critical hit multiplier again and again.
As for Thorn Blood Douluo, he had been forced back from his Martial Soul True Body form to human form. His body was firmly embedded in the wall, covered in blood. His face was ashen white, tinged with deathly pallor. If not for Snake Spear Douluo's excellent dynamic vision spotting the barely perceptible rise and fall of his chest, he would have thought the man was dead.
The surrounding spirit master soldiers, whether they were from the Spirit Hall or originally belonged to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, had mostly perished in the aftermath of these continuous clashes of top-tier spirit abilities!
Snake Spear Douluo, the only one who remained conscious despite his severe injuries, watched as Dugu Bo and the others, who were also enduring their own serious injuries, retreated to Tang Sui's side, shielding her. Resentment flashed in his eyes, but he dared not linger. He sent his snake spear towards Thorn Blood Douluo, shattering the wall near his body, digging him out, and then his snake spear condensed into a two-headed long snake, coiling around the unconscious Thorn Blood Douluo.
He himself then stood up with Qian Renxue. Before retreating, he roared, "Kill them!"
Among the twenty to thirty surviving spirit masters, half of those with spirit power levels at the Spirit Emperor stage immediately released their spirit, surrounding Dugu Bo and the others tightly!
In their state of extreme exhaustion, and needing to protect the weakened Tang Sui, Tang San and the others broke out in a cold sweat.
Due to the casting of their strongest spirit abilities, and without Tang Sui's recovery spirit abilities, their spirit power was almost depleted, and their stamina was largely consumed. They were, in effect, incapacitated.
Looking at the approaching Spirit Hall spirit masters, Tang Sui's pale lips moved slightly, her fingertips trembled, wanting to forcefully raise her exhausted arm to summon her domain. The next moment, a golden light descended from the sky, forming a stable three-dimensional triangle, and just as the surrounding spirit masters leaped into the air, they were all enveloped—
"Sun Moon Shine, Golden Wheel—!"
