Chapter 520 Senior, help me!
The Sky-Piercing Strike is a unique skill passed down by the Haotian Sect. It is an extremely powerful single-target burst skill and can be considered an advanced hammer technique of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, but it does not require continuous charging like the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
When using this skill, one only needs to concentrate one's soul power on one point and then strike out with a hammer. The speed is extremely fast, and it is difficult for ordinary people to dodge. Its power is also extremely strong, even surpassing the ninth soul skill of most Title Douluos.
When Tang Hao had just been promoted to Title Douluo, he once used the Sky-Piercing Strike to clash with the ten-thousand-year soul skill - Angel Light Blade - of Qian Xunji, the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, whose cultivation had reached level ninety-five Super Douluo, and was even slightly superior.
The Sky-Piercing Strike can be considered the strongest attack Tang Hao could unleash, aside from the Ring-Exploding Secret Technique of the Great Sumeru Hammer.
The Divine and Demonic Slash is Sword Douluo's ninth soul ring skill, and it is also one of his strongest attack soul skills, second only to his self-created soul skill - Man and Sword as One.
When the Divine and Demonic Slash is unleashed, it can unleash a sword strike that cleaves through space and time. If one's cultivation level is high enough, the power of this soul skill can even reach the realm of gods, making it comparable to a divine skill.
Tang Hao's Sky-Piercing Strike and Sword Douluo's Divine Demonic Slash were unleashed simultaneously, attacking from both sides. Dugu Bo had nowhere to dodge or escape; he was locked on.
Faced with powerful soul skill attacks from two opponents of equal strength, Dugu Bo, whose soul power was almost depleted, had few choices: either fight back with all his might or close his eyes and obediently wait for death.
Of course, he had a third option, which was—
"Senior, help me!"
Without hesitation, Dugu Bo decisively chose to call for help.
His eyes flashed with a green light, as if he was ready to fight to the death, but unexpectedly, he shouted for help.
Tang Hao and Sword Douluo were both taken aback.
Fortunately, both of them were determined individuals. Although their minds were slightly shaken, their soul skills were not affected in any way, and they showed no mercy when they attacked.
Just as the Haotian Hammer and the Seven Kill Sword were about to strike, a golden figure suddenly descended from the sky, landing above the head of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, which Dugu Bo had transformed into, and blocked the hammer blow and sword slash with one hand on each side.
The Haotian Hammer, carrying terrifying power, slammed down, and the Seven Kill Sword, tearing through space and time, cleaved against the golden figure's left and right palms respectively, but could not advance an inch further, nor even cause the slightest damage.
The sudden turn of events caught Tang Hao and Sword Douluo completely off guard.
At that moment, under the horrified gazes of the two, the golden figure that had blocked their attack suddenly clenched its fists.
The hundred-meter-long Haotian Hammer head and the tip of the Seven Kill Sword were crushed by him in one fell swoop, and the cracks spread rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Haotian Hammer and Seven Kill Sword were reduced to fragments and vanished as soul light.
Broken, broken?
Stunned by this incredible scene, Tang Hao and Sword Douluo were speechless and both let out a muffled groan.
A martial spirit is essentially an extension of a soul master's physical body; any severe damage or injury received will be reflected back to the physical body.
The Clear Sky Hammer and the Seven Kill Sword were crushed by the golden figure, and Tang Hao and Sword Douluo were immediately injured, both spitting out blood.
The suddenly appearing old stranger was dressed in golden armor, tall and strong, with a rugged face and white hair and beard, but he was incredibly vigorous. He was none other than Golden Crocodile Douluo who had come from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
He has been here for quite some time.
It should be said that he arrived the moment Tang Hao and Sword Douluo joined forces, but he remained hidden in the shadows and did not make a move.
Tang Hao frowned deeply upon seeing the Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly appear in the arena. He did not recognize the Golden Crocodile Douluo, but this did not prevent him from feeling a strong sense of apprehension.
Because he couldn't see through the old man's strength, and his sixth sense kept sending out alarms.
This indicates that the old man is extremely dangerous, and his strength is probably far above his own. This can be seen from the fact that the old man easily caught his Lingtian Strike and crushed his Haotian Hammer just now.
At this moment, he finally understood that the sense of danger he had felt earlier was not unfounded, but rather came from the old man in front of him.
Thinking of this, Tang Hao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He subconsciously took a step back, feeling a sense of fear rising in his heart. He wanted to turn around and use his best skill—escape.
It's him? How did he end up here?
Unlike Tang Hao, who was timid and wanted to flee, Sword Douluo's eyes widened instantly when he saw Golden Crocodile Douluo appear before him. He was stunned and, while surprised, he also felt a strange excitement.
That's right, Sword Douluo actually knows Golden Crocodile Douluo.
He had seen Golden Crocodile Douluo once before, decades ago, when his father challenged Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall. At that time, the only Spirit Hall expert present was Golden Crocodile Douluo.
His father once told him that Golden Crocodile Douluo was a top expert in the Spirit Hall, second only to Qian Daoliu in strength, and even older than Qian Daoliu, belonging to the generation of experts of his grandfather.
Sword Douluo originally thought that this Golden Crocodile Douluo, like Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, was no longer alive.
Unexpectedly, when he re-emerged fourteen years ago, he led the Spirit Hall's army of Soul Masters to crush the Clear Sky Sect and drive them into the barren land deep in the snowy mountains.
Fourteen years have passed, and Golden Crocodile Douluo is still alive and well, and has even appeared here.
Sword Douluo inherited his father's will. When he encountered a peerless powerhouse like Golden Crocodile Douluo, his first reaction was not fear, but excitement.
The special feature of the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul is that, in order to improve, in addition to one's own comprehension, one must fight against strong opponents. One must become stronger when facing stronger opponents in order to advance further and reach a higher realm.
"Senior, thank goodness you intervened, otherwise I might have perished here."
Seeing Golden Crocodile Douluo appear and block the attacks from Tang Hao and Sword Douluo for him, Dugu Bo felt relieved. He immediately deactivated his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor true form, reverted to his original form, and bowed to Golden Crocodile Douluo.
His tone carried a hint of flattery and ingratiation.
Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded slightly, but then glanced at him indifferently:
"Don't give me that. I know your own limitations. Even if I don't make a move, you won't die. At most, you'll just get a minor injury."
Golden Crocodile Douluo knew perfectly well that if someone could fight back and forth with Yue Guan, who was already at level 97, how weak could that guy be? This kid was just faking it.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo awkwardly scratched the back of his head.
Indeed, as Golden Crocodile Douluo said, he had a way to withstand the combined attack of Tang Hao and Sword Douluo, after all, his poison skills were not learned for nothing.
However, getting injured is inevitable, and it will also expose your trump card.
With a peerless expert like Golden Crocodile Douluo around, why should I risk getting injured to fight him head-on?
Without thinking twice, Dugu Bo shouted loudly and shook out the Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Trying to leave? Hmph—"
Just then, Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly let out a cold snort.
At the same time, his soul power surged violently, and his aura suddenly surged. The terrifying soul power pressure, which was many times stronger than that of Dugu Bo, instantly enveloped the entire area within a thousand meters, like an abyss or a prison.
However, his target was not Dugu Bo, but Tang Hao and Sword Douluo.
Or rather, the main target was Tang Hao, with Sword Douluo being just a side effect.
The reason why Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly acted this way was because he realized that Tang Hao was actually trying to turn around and run away right in front of him.
How could he possibly allow it?
An extremely terrifying pressure of soul power suddenly descended upon him. Tang Hao had just taken a step back when he was forced back down, and even his back was bent slightly by the pressure.
If it weren't for the Clear Sky Hammer, his martial soul, suddenly appearing in his hand and supporting his body, Tang Hao would probably have knelt down directly.
Sword Douluo also knelt on one knee at this moment.
His aura and will were no less than Tang Hao's, and even more fierce, but in terms of soul power, he was not as profound as Tang Hao, who possessed a 100,000-year soul ring.
Therefore, when faced with the sudden burst of pressure from the Golden Crocodile Douluo's level 98 peak Super Douluo aura, the Sword Douluo was not as able to withstand it as Tang Hao, and was directly suppressed to kneel on one knee.
However, it is true that neither Tang Hao nor Sword Douluo could withstand the pressure of Golden Crocodile Douluo's soul power, even though they had activated their Martial Soul True Body at this time, it was to no avail.
Both were titled Douluo, but one side completely suppressed the other with the pressure of its own soul power, and it was one against two.
This is almost unheard of in the world of Title Douluo, yet the Golden Crocodile Douluo before us has accomplished it.
Like Tang Hao, his spirit rings consisted of two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red ring. The presence of the red 100,000-year spirit ring made Golden Crocodile Douluo incredibly powerful in terms of aura.
In addition, his strength and soul power level far surpassed those of Tang Hao and Sword Douluo.
Therefore, the moment Golden Crocodile Douluo appeared, he completely overwhelmed the two of them.
Feeling the sudden burst of soul power emanating from the golden-armored elder, Tang Hao was utterly shocked and terrified.
This, this pressure of soul power, is from a level 98 peak Super Douluo, almost as powerful as my grandfather Tang Chen. It is definitely not something I can withstand.
Having been personally taught by his grandfather Tang Chen, a level 99 Limit Douluo, Tang Hao naturally understood what a level 98 peak Super Douluo meant. It was an existence that he, a level 95 Super Douluo, could not even dream of reaching.
Even if he used the Haotian Sect's ultimate technique, the Great Sumeru Hammer, to blast away all nine of his soul rings, he might not be able to harm him in the slightest.
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, the number of Title Douluos is extremely small, no more than twenty, and those above level ninety-five are even fewer.
The old man in golden armor in front of me has a strength of level 98 peak, and he has one foot already stepped into the level 99 Limit Douluo realm. Where did this old monster come from?
Damn it, how could such a top-level existence appear here, and even hang out with a bastard like Dugu Bo?
Under the terrifying pressure of soul power, Tang Hao's face was slightly distorted, his heart filled with confusion.
"Trying to sneak away right under my nose? Impossible."
Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes shone brightly as he looked down at Tang Hao and Sword Douluo, who had transformed into their weapon spirit forms.
His gaze was majestic, sharp, and incredibly oppressive, as if it could penetrate the true form of the weapon spirit manifested by soul power and land directly on Tang Hao and Sword Douluo's physical bodies, making the two feel immense pressure.
Golden Crocodile Douluo first glanced at Tang Hao, then at Sword Douluo, and finally his gaze returned to Tang Hao as he asked with a cryptic expression:
"Your name is Tang Hao, right?"
Enduring the terrifying pressure of soul power, Tang Hao's eyes glowed red as he looked up at Golden Crocodile Douluo, gritting his teeth as he responded and questioned:
"It's me, and who are you?"
"That's right, you're exactly the one I've been looking for!" Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly chuckled coldly, his eyes blazing with killing intent.
"Who am I? You don't even know?"
At this moment, the Sword Douluo, who was kneeling on one knee beside Tang Hao and using the Seven Kill Sword for support, answered Tang Hao's question:
"If I remember correctly, the senior in front of me should be the second elder of the Spirit Hall, whose strength is second only to the Spirit Hall's Grand Elder Qian Daoliu. He is a super Douluo powerhouse at the peak of level ninety-eight, the Golden Crocodile Douluo."
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao's face immediately darkened:
"What?! They're actually lackeys of the Spirit Hall?! Damn it!"
After saying that, he muttered to himself, seemingly lost in memories:
"Golden Crocodile Douluo, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Golden Crocodile."
Golden Crocodile Douluo ignored him and shifted his gaze slightly to Sword Douluo, seemingly somewhat surprised:
Do you know me?
Sword Douluo clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and bowed to Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Junior Chen Xin pays respects to Senior Golden Crocodile Douluo. I was fortunate enough to meet you once, during the life-and-death sparring battle between my father and Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall."
"Chen Xin? His surname is Chen, a member of the Chen family of the Seven Kill Swords?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo paused for a moment, as if recalling something, and then said in realization:
"Ah, I remember now, you were that young lad back then."
"So you're that guy's son. It's been decades. I didn't expect you to have cultivated to the level of a Super Douluo. Not bad, you're not much different from your father."
Jin'e Douluo had a deep impression of Chen Xin's father. He was a prodigy of the same generation as the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu, a swordsman with extraordinary talent and unparalleled skill.
Unfortunately, his eagerness for quick success and his rash challenge to the High Priest led to his defeat and death, a truly regrettable loss.
If it weren't for that challenge back then, Chen Xin's father would definitely have reached his current level, and might even have had the chance to reach the Limit Douluo realm like the Grand Elder.
It's a pity he died so young.
Golden Crocodile Douluo sighed inwardly.
"You flatter me, senior."
Sword Douluo was unaware of Golden Crocodile Douluo's thoughts. Although pleased to receive Golden Crocodile Douluo's praise, he humbly replied with a word of praise.
"Let's get down to business. Why are you here with Tang Hao? Are you together?"
Jin E snapped out of his reverie, his expression hardening once more, and asked the Sword Douluo in a cold tone.
"Senior, it's like this..."
Before Sword Douluo could reply, Dugu Bo spoke first, recounting in detail what had just happened, including Tang Hao's cooperation with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to covet the so-called super-limit absorption method of soul rings, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and the immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
