Chapter 212 Spinning the Dragon's Spine
"Take this!"
Tang Hao suddenly shouted and took a step forward with his left foot like a heavy hammer, slamming it hard on the ground. With a loud bang, a hundred-meter radius around his left foot was instantly covered with dense cracks, spreading outwards like a spider web.
Tang Hao swiftly extended his right arm, holding the Clear Sky Hammer, behind his back. At this moment, all the muscles in his body had recovered from the state of the Great Sumeru Hammer and had become even harder and stronger.
In an instant, all his muscles tensed up completely, and a thick, dark red aura, like a surging wave, enveloped his entire body and the hammer in his hand, merging them into one.
He slowly lifted his left heel, supporting himself on his toes, and the pant leg at his left calf instantly ripped open, revealing muscles even more solid than the hardest granite.
In the next instant, the Haotian Hammer had already been swung out silently.
No sound came out; it was as if all sound had been mercilessly sucked away by this hammer blow.
The enormous Haotian Hammer appeared out of nowhere. Although there was no sound to amplify its power, Yu Tianyun knew that this hammer blow was not to be underestimated. He understood that Tang Hao had poured all his essence, energy, and spirit into this single strike. What appeared to be a simple hammer blow actually contained profound power and boundless might.
"Haha, well done!"
Yu Tianyun laughed loudly. At the same time, a thought struck him. Without his soul rings appearing, a blue-gold spear about three meters long, wrapped with countless electric currents, quietly appeared in his right hand. This was his sixth soul skill - Blue Lightning Overlord Spear!
But at that moment, the laughter suddenly stopped. Yu Tianyun suddenly realized that compared with Tang Hao's massive iron hammer, his spear was like a tiny, insignificant toothpick.
"The essence lies in what is concentrated; his is merely a facade," Yu Tianyun thought to himself.
Immediately afterwards, he stomped his left foot forward, and the ground instantly caved in, sending a powerful shockwave rushing into the distance like a wild horse.
Then, he bent his legs like a bow, leaned his body backward, and the Blue Lightning Overlord Spear in his hand had somehow turned behind him. The extremely sharp spearhead was deeply embedded in the ground behind him, and the spear and his body formed a crescent moon.
At this moment, Yu Tianyun's blood and qi, like surging mercury, all converged at the spine, causing his eyes under his helmet to become bloodshot, his cheeks to turn as red as burning flames, and the veins on his hands to bulge out like dragons.
boom--
A sudden gust of wind swept across the flat ground, sending yellow dust billowing into the air and rolling in all directions.
The next instant, countless fragments of stone and soil burst forth from the spearhead that Yu Tianyun had planted in the ground, like cannonballs whistling out. Then, his figure flashed through the air like lightning, instantly creating a vacuum zone. Almost in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of her, raising his three-meter-long spear and thrusting it forward with both hands.
"..."
The spearhead pierced the air, roaring like a dragon, and hurtled towards the Haotian Hammer in the sky. Yet, it did not emit a sonic boom; it was equally silent, eerily quiet! It was like the suffocating calm before a storm.
If Tang Hao had also cultivated the Purple Demon Eye and reached the Vast Realm, he would have discovered that spatial rifts resembling bent lightning bolts appeared at the tip of Yu Tianyun's spear. These rifts were constantly being created and healed as the spear thrust forward rapidly, emanating a chilling aura.
This spear thrust was as powerful as thunder, condensing the full strength of Yu Tianyun's body. It was a perfect fusion of essence, energy, and spirit, and even more exquisite.
……
"Um?"
Yu Yuanzhen, who was chatting with Emperor Xueye, suddenly frowned and looked up at the sky outside Tiandou City with lightning speed.
At the same time, Chen Xin, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, a hint of doubt in his eyes, and then looked in the same direction.
They clearly sensed the energy fluctuation, and their expressions instantly turned serious.
Even from such a great distance, they could deeply feel the powerful force of that energy fluctuation, which was something that no ordinary Title Douluo could create. Even a Title Douluo like Dugu Bo, who was at level 95, could not possibly do it.
After sensing it more closely, they realized that it seemed like two super strong individuals were engaged in a fierce battle.
Yu Yuanzhen was filled with doubt: "These two are stronger than that old poisoner. When did such powerful figures appear on the continent? Could it be Tang Hao? And who is the other one? Could he be from the Spirit Hall?"
Yu Yuanzhen guessed half of it correctly. After all, the number of Title Douluo powerhouses on the continent was limited, almost transparent. Besides him and the Sword and Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, only the Clear Sky School and the Spirit Hall could possess such strength.
The Haotian Sect had long since closed its gates, making it unlikely that anyone would venture out. The only one outside was Tang Hao, who had been hiding in the shadows. Moreover, Yu Yuanzhen knew that Tang Hao happened to be hiding near Tiandou City.
As for the other powerful figure, Yu Yuanzhen naturally suspected the Spirit Hall.
On one hand, the Spirit Hall's strength is unfathomable. Although apart from Yu Tianyun, who knows some inside information, no one else knows the Spirit Hall's true hidden strength, Yu Yuanzhen is quite certain that the Spirit Hall possesses such powerful combat strength.
On the other hand, the Spirit Hall and Tang Hao have a blood feud. Apart from the Spirit Hall, who would want to fight with Tang Hao for no reason?
He wasn't interested in either of these forces; he just wanted to watch the spectacle. After all, a battle between Title Douluos was definitely more exciting and interesting than the current battles between Soul Masters and Soul Sects.
On the other side, Chen Xin didn't have so many thoughts. His eyes were faintly filled with excitement, as if they were burning with blazing flames, and he seemed eager to join the battle.
As one of the two Red Staff members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he was usually very leisurely and did not have to worry about the affairs of the sect. His greatest hobby was sparring and fighting with others.
He was already tired of fighting with Bone Douluo every day.
Although he now has Dugu Bo and Yu Yuanzhen to spar with, Dugu Bo is too weak, which makes him feel bored, and Yu Yuanzhen is too strong. He doesn't want to be beaten for nothing.
Therefore, the appearance of two unknown Title Douluos excited him greatly, and the fluctuations of their battle made him feel that their strength was no weaker than his own, nor much stronger. This was just the right time for him to have a good time.
I don't have to participate, but at least I can enjoy the view and feast my eyes, right?
Then, their eyes met simultaneously, and their gazes seemed to say:
"Want to join in the fun?"
"Then let's go!"
"Leave now?"
"Let's go, let's go!"
"..."
Without a word, Yu Yuanzhen revealed a trace of his aura, and with a surge of soul power, he soared into the air and flew rapidly into the distance.
Immediately afterwards, the Seven Kill Sword appeared out of thin air in front of Sword Douluo. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, gracefully stepped onto the sword, put his hands behind his back, and rode away on the sword like an immortal with a dignified and otherworldly air.
Huh? Uncle Jian, I haven't gotten on the bus yet.
Ning Fengzhi's mouth was slightly open, and he stared blankly at Chen Xin, who had already flown to the horizon.
He had already noticed that his Uncle Jian and Yu Yuanzhen's expressions had suddenly changed for some reason, but before he could ask them, the two flew away in the blink of an eye.
Emperor Xueye and Salas, standing to the side, stared at each other, completely bewildered.
"Ahem!"
"Sect Leader Ning, may I ask what brings you two here?"
Emperor Xueye's light cough brought Ning Fengzhi back to his senses.
"Uncle Jian and Uncle Yu must have found it a bit boring and went to stretch their muscles," Ning Fengzhi said casually and calmly.
"Uh... Your Majesties are really full of energy!" Emperor Xueye's lips twitched slightly, revealing a somewhat helpless smile.
But for some reason, Ning Fengzhi felt a pang of sadness, shook his head without asking any further questions, and turned his attention to the competition field.
On the other side, Salas drooped his eyelids, seemingly indifferent, but in fact he was just as jealous as Emperor Xueye. Emperor Xueye envied the good body of a Title Douluo, while he envied the freedom of a Title Douluo to fly and go wherever he wanted.
Of course, he also had a bit of curiosity in his heart. He felt that Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin were definitely not just sparring with each other as Ning Fengzhi said, but that something important might have happened.
But he could only itch to keep up, because others were flying so fast that he couldn't keep up!
……
boom--
A thunderous roar suddenly exploded, and the enormous iron hammer was incredibly knocked away by the tiny spear in front of it, which looked like a toothpick!
This scene looks very abstract, like a huge elephant being knocked down by a tiny ant, full of incredible fantasy.
"I didn't even lift a finger, yet you've already fallen?" Looking at Tang Hao, who was being dragged away by the Haotian Hammer once again, Yu Tianyun pointed a finger at Tang Hao, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart.
But then, he let out a long sigh and sneered, "Ha~ This is supposed to be a top-tier War Hammer Soul, a mighty Haotian Sect? What a self-praise!"
"Pfft~" Tang Hao, who was spinning and flying backward, heard this and although he did not understand what the last sentence meant, he knew it was definitely not a good thing. Instantly, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Even though he had lost his mind at this point, these words still made the bloodshot in his eyes fade slightly.
Moreover, he managed to stabilize himself.
Boom~
Tang Hao landed several hundred meters away, and then, using his left foot as the center and his body as the axis, he continued to spin like a top.
Gradually, the madness in his eyes completely disappeared.
Yu Tianyun certainly didn't think that Tang Hao had let go of his hatred for him. He could see very clearly that Tang Hao's eyes were radiating an extremely cold light, and he nodded to himself: "As expected of the legendary sect slave! He can still force himself to calm down even after being kicked to pieces."
As everyone knows, Tang Hao is the person who values sect honor the most on the Douluo Continent, even more so than the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, who are proud of their martial soul.
Because he brutally beat Qian Xunji, Tang Hao was expelled from the Haotian Sect, which was forced to close its gates. Therefore, he considered this a lifelong pain and would never allow anyone to insult the Haotian Sect.
Without a doubt, they really will strip away their soul bones to atone for their sins!
Therefore, Yu Tianyun couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration for Tang Hao, who was at least much better than his treacherous second uncle.
Of course, Tang Hao is the only tough guy in the Haotian Sect. The other Haotian Sect members all have flexible bottom lines. They can be really arrogant when they want to be, but when it's time to be cowardly, they are just as timid and will cower back to their hometown.
At this moment, Tang Hao, who was wielding the Clear Sky Hammer and gathering his strength, kept his gaze coldly fixed on Yu Tianyun. He was like a killing machine without any emotion, and the target he wanted to kill was naturally Yu Tianyun.
Suddenly, a flash of understanding crossed his cold face, followed by a chilling voice.
"You're from the Destroyer Clan, aren't you?"
"His martial soul mutated, awakened the lightning attribute, learned the Hidden Ring, and even possesses a soul bone fusion technique. Truly incredible!"
"I admit, your talent is amazing, even far surpassing mine."
"No wonder you harbor such malice towards me and the Haotian Sect. It was indeed because of me that your Po clan was implicated."
At this point, the coldness in Tang Hao's eyes lessened slightly, but in the next instant, it suddenly turned extremely icy again, "But you shouldn't have insulted the Hao...Tian...Song!"
As he uttered the last word, Tang Hao's aura surged once more, and he charged forward like a madman, spinning his massive Clear Sky Hammer. At the same time, his two hundred-year-old spirit rings shattered with a deafening roar.
A massive amount of soul power surged into his body, causing his aura to rise steadily, making it far more intense than the previous attack.
Yu Tianyun: "???"
Hearing Tang Hao's analysis, which was three parts right and seven parts wrong, Yu Tianyun was completely stunned.
Even if his analysis is correct, Yu Tianyun is not a member of the Po clan at all, and he did not use the Yang family spear technique just now. Instead, he used the qi circulation method of some martial arts moves recorded in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, and on a whim, he swung his spear.
But you say his analysis is wrong, yet he was able to recognize the Soul Bone Fusion Technique, and Yu Tianyun can indeed be considered half a member of the Broken Clan.
This left Yu Tianyun somewhat amused and exasperated, wondering why Tang Hao had suddenly developed a brain. Even if it wasn't much, it was still quite remarkable for a Hammer Man.
However, in Tang Hao's eyes, his behavior was seen as a subconscious guilty conscience after his disguise was exposed.
"Prepare to die!"
Tang Hao's eyes flashed, and he thought to himself, "Just as I thought!"
At the same time, he was even more determined to get rid of Yu Tianyun. In fact, what he said earlier was quite conservative. In his mind, Yu Tianyun's talent was higher than his son's twin martial souls and innate full soul power. If Yu Tianyun continued to grow, given his hatred for the Haotian Sect, then the Haotian Sect and his son would inevitably suffer a catastrophic disaster in the future.
Therefore, even at the cost of his life, he would hammer him to death.
The Haotian Hammer in his hand, with its unstoppable and overwhelming power, crashed down on Yu Tianyun like a falling star.
His long golden hair danced wildly in the fierce wind. Seeing the mountain-like hammer bearing down on him, Yu Tianyun finally snapped out of his daze. Even the helmet covering his face couldn't hide his fanatical gaze. "This is more like it! Bring it on!"
He then spun around, his spear poised like a coiled, ferocious dragon, ready to strike.
With his eyes slightly closed, he felt the power within his body slowly flowing from his legs to his spine, then strengthening it before it reached his arms and finally merging perfectly with the spear in his hand.
Instantly, the spear shone with dazzling blue-gold light, and blue lightning surged and crackled like raging thunder serpents. (End of Chapter)
