"Do not harm my son!"
A roar like thunderous bellows erupted.
A dense black light, akin to a colossal sun after its conflagration, descended from the heavens as a world-ending catastrophe. Its rampaging power was even more ferocious than the emerald slash that concentrated Bibi Dong's full might. A series of "boom-boom" explosions detonated as the two equally space-twisting, all-consuming heavy blows collided.
With a mournful "ding," Bibi Dong's arms, transformed into emerald scythe blades, shattered amidst the repelled black light.
Where the black light spread, even those locked in combat were sent flying, regardless of side. Even the supporting Douluo Elders who arrived were caught in the backlash.
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Dugu Bo looked up at the figure descending from the sky, a sneer appearing on his face. "I knew it, that mad Tang would never not come for his child."
Tang Hao, clad in simple cloth, held the Haotian Hammer, which flickered with black and white light, steady in one hand. His imposing eyes burned with palpable, chilling killing intent. He stared at Bibi Dong, who had been caught by the Spirit Empire's Second Offering, Golden Crocodile Douluo, at the critical moment. All the hatred he had accumulated transformed into terrifying killing intent, pressing towards Bibi Dong inch by inch within the spontaneously formed white ice shards!
"Crack!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes narrowed. Dense golden light shot from them, shattering the solidified killing intent that had condensed into cold shards, and he looked warily at the tall man who had suddenly appeared.
Even though his Soul Power had reached level 98, he felt a sense of crisis from this man!
Bibi Dong, with blood dripping from her arms, glared with eyes split wide at the obsidian hammer that had smashed down not far from Tang San, not only nullifying her full-powered attack but also shattering her arms. She stared at the towering figure standing beside the black hammer, her eyes bloodshot as she screamed the name that had once again ruined her plans—
"Tang! Hao!"
"Dad!"
Tang San, whose Soul Power and mental strength had been declared depleted, saw his father's tall and broad back reflected in his eyes. His eyes reddened as he looked at Tang Hao, unable to help but call out.
"Dad?"
Even Tang Sui couldn't help but exclaim "Father" in surprise.
Exchanging blows with Tang Xiao, who had also descended from the sky, and then instantly returning to Tang Sui's side through the Twin Spirits Domain, Black Face frowned and shielded Tang Sui, repelling sneak attack Soul Skill attacks. With a flick of his black sleeve, Yang Wudi's corpse was immediately drawn into her Twin Spirits Domain. The moment it entered, Qing Nü Fang's revival passive activated. Yang Wudi's corpse, which had died with his eyes wide open, was instantly encased in a sudden layer of solid ice, and black tendrils extending from the void pushed the solid ice towards a stable floating platform, awaiting the resurrection of the first unlucky soul to experience the ice sealing treatment.
Tang Hao's peripheral vision took in the situation of his children. Without turning his head, the lines of his face appeared even colder and sharper with the growing power emanating from him. He said in a deep voice, "Leave this to me. You help the Heaven Dou soldiers retreat first!"
Before this, taking advantage of the Twin Spirits Domain and amidst the resounding general assault horn, the Heaven Dou soldiers who had charged all the way to Jialing Pass were in quite a predicament.
Following a series of booming sounds, countless mangled corpses were blasted out from the four city gates.
It was known that at least over fifty thousand Heaven Dou Empire troops had entered the fortress, most of them heavy cavalry. Yet, at this moment, the four city gates were like unleashed sluice gates, spewing out countless bodies accompanied by screams. Only over five thousand elite Soul Masters from the Spirit Empire's reinforcements emerged from the city, but few Heaven Dou soldiers were seen.
The situation on the battlefield was constantly changing.
At this, Xue Beng, behind the battle line, as well as Golon and Master in the center, all changed color.
Because the current situation could only mean one thing: the army that had charged into Jialing Pass had been annihilated. Coupled with the troops who had previously attacked the city, the casualties would likely exceed one hundred thousand!
Regret filled Xue Beng's heart, but it was useless to feel pained now. All he could do was pray for the soldiers to quickly transmit the message to sound the retreat.
However, in the current situation, even if Xue Beng did not issue the order to retreat, the soldiers fighting to the death in front of Jialing Pass had already begun to tacitly cover their comrades' retreat. Even though the process was incredibly difficult, perhaps not a single one would escape in the end.
"It seems the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect have also arrived. The rear of the army need not be worried for now." Black Face glanced at the rear of the Heaven Dou army, his gaze bypassing the imposing Golden Crocodile Douluo, and fixed on Bibi Dong, who was preparing to retreat behind him.
"Do you want to pursue?"
Black Face's voice sounded in Tang Sui's mind.
Tang Sui glanced at Tang San, who was shielded behind Tang Hao, and at Bibi Dong, who had lost her arms. A circle of crimson light rippled in her clear blue eyes.
The moment Tang Hao and Golden Crocodile Douluo moved, Tang Sui and Black Face turned into interlacing streams of black and white light, sweeping towards the rapidly retreating Bibi Dong.
"Presumptuous!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo raised his hand and unleashed a Soul Skill attack towards Tang Sui.
Even if he disliked Bibi Dong, he knew that she could not die here.
"Your opponent is here!"
Tang Hao flickered, and the next second he leaped in front of Golden Crocodile Douluo, his hammer intercepting Golden Crocodile Douluo's attack. His seventh black Soul Ring whirred, and the Haotian Hammer in his hand, like a beating heart, grew larger with each beat.
The Twin Spirits Domain followed suit. The blood-red hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring hummed. Two blood-colored Soul Rings were reflected in Bibi Dong's eyes as she turned to look. To her disbelief, two different Eighth Soul Skills were unleashed simultaneously.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Dream Void Realm!"
"Eighth Soul Skill, Samsara's Breath!"
Tang Sui unfurled her obsidian domain. Black Face raised his hand, triple-locking the high-speed moving Bibi Dong. Seven black masks with gold borders trembled and flipped, instantly transforming into dark gold masks as thin as blades. Strangely, the seven masks that surrounded Tang Sui remained the same elegant jade-white masks. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Boom-boom--!!"
Seven swift flashes of light like shooting stars chasing the moon, struck Bibi Dong.
Purple-green Soul Power energy surged from Bibi Dong's bleeding severed arms, forming phantom arms. She instantly entered her Spirit Avatar form, using her last bit of Soul Power to erect a protective shield, but the gravity and anxiety in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Because she knew that she could not withstand Tang Sui's attack in her current state.
Unbelievably, the situation had completely reversed. One moment, it was the Spirit Empire's people intercepting Tang San's reinforcements; now, it was the Spirit Empire's people desperately rushing towards Bibi Dong.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Demon Subduing Coiling Dragon Ring!"
"Eighth Soul Skill, Thousand Jun Throw!"
At the last moment, two golden lights flashed before Bibi Dong.
They looked very similar, and their spirits were identical. In their hands, each held a Coiling Dragon Staff, twelve feet long, with a golden dragon coiled around the upper part.
The Eighth Soul Skills of two Titled Douluo with Soul Power of level 96, with the same spirit, possessed an immensely powerful spiritual connection as if they were one. The roaring Coiling Dragon Staffs clashed with the seven dark gold masks.
A fierce glint flashed in Black Face's eyes. The moment the first mask made contact with the Coiling Dragon Staff, emitting a "clang" and a heavy muffled sound, an even more terrifying aura erupted from Black Face.
