Seeing this, Tang San couldn't care about his injuries. His Blue Silver Grass's fifth soul ring lit up, and with a ferocious expression, he used his fifth soul skill.
"Blue Silver Grass Fifth Soul Skill: Thorn Tree Sea!"
Instantly, a massive amount of soul power was drained. Blue Silver Grass grew wildly on the ground, transforming into an ocean of plants formed by Blue Silver Grass.
Countless Blue Silver Grass with ice thorns carrying chilling cold air gathered together, intercepting Tang Hu outside.
Tang Hu roared. The Clear Sky Hammer's fifth soul skill smashed onto the Blue Silver Grass. Immediately, tremendous force shook, destroying and shattering large swaths of Blue Silver Grass.
Tang Hu wielded the Clear Sky Hammer, using the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method, directly charging into the thorn sea formed by Blue Silver Grass, heading straight for Tang San.
Seeing this, Tang San knew that the quality of Blue Silver Grass was ultimately not as powerful as the Clear Sky Hammer. Plus, he was currently injured. Using only Blue Silver Grass, he definitely wasn't Tang Hu's match.
Tang San quickly switched martial souls, withdrawing the Blue Silver Grass. A Clear Sky Hammer with five soul rings—purple, black, black, black, black—appeared in Tang San's hand.
"Titan's Strength!"
The black soul ring lit up. Tang San struck with one hammer toward Tang Hu.
"Boom!"
A huge muffled sound rang out. Tang San and Tang Hu each retreated several steps.
Both used the Clear Sky Hammer. Tang San's soul ring quality was higher than Tang Hu's, but in cultivation, Tang Hu had the advantage.
Then the two charged at each other again. The Clear Sky Hammers clashed once more. Both used the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method, exchanging several moves in succession, unable to determine a winner.
Blood trickled from the corner of Tang San's mouth. The injury from being hit by Tang Long relapsed, gradually putting him at a disadvantage.
On the other side, Tang Hu wasn't doing well either. Tang San's soul ring quality was extremely high—all powerful, strength-attribute ten-thousand-year soul beasts carefully selected by Tang Hao. With each hammer strike, Tang Hu endured extremely strong rebound force.
If the two fought normally in a direct clash, Tang Hu probably wouldn't be Tang San's match.
However, Tang San was injured.
Overall, Tang San's injuries were currently more severe.
Blood continuously overflowed from the corner of Tang San's mouth. Tang Long's strike had most likely injured Tang San's internal organs. At this moment, when Tang San breathed, he felt waves of piercing pain.
"No good. Continuing like this, defeat is certain."
Tang San knew he had to do something.
In this battle, he couldn't use hidden weapons.
Blue Silver Grass wasn't Tang Hu's match either.
The method of attacking with shattered leaf fragments had already been used once just now. Tang Hu was definitely on guard. Using it again now had slim chances of success.
Although the Clear Sky Hammer could block Tang Hu's attacks and even gain some advantage, in a short time, he simply couldn't take down Tang Hu with it.
And his injuries were gradually worsening. He probably couldn't hold on until defeating Tang Hu before collapsing himself.
Tang Sect secret techniques?
The remaining half of the Eight Spider Lances?
None seemed to have any effect.
What should he do?
Tang San frowned tightly.
He carried his father's expectations and his mother's deep hatred.
He couldn't lose!
Suddenly, while moving and dodging, Tang San spotted a little girl in the crowd.
The little girl looked less than ten years old. She was currently in a forward position in the crowd, clenching her small fists, nervously watching the battle between Tang San and Tang Hu.
Tang San's eyes shifted.
If he remembered correctly, before the match, he seemed to have heard this little girl call Tang Hu... Dad.
Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!
Tang San's footwork changed, switching his body's angle in a way difficult for others to detect.
Tang Hu was completely oblivious to this.
"This move is useless against me. Gravity Pull!"
Tang Hu roared.
Tang San was immediately pulled toward Tang Hu.
Suddenly, Tang San's remaining four Eight Spider Lances all stabbed toward Tang Hu together.
Tang Hu was startled. Knowing the power of Tang San's external spirit bone, he quickly swung his hammer to block, directly using his sixth soul skill.
Tang Hu's Clear Sky Hammer directly doubled in size, carrying incomparable momentum, smashing onto Tang San's Eight Spider Lances with one strike.
At this time, Tang San's Eight Spider Lances hadn't undergone any enhancement. Facing Tang Hu's full-force attack, they naturally couldn't hold on and shattered instantly.
And this was exactly what Tang San wanted—for the Eight Spider Lances to break.
Among the Eight Spider Lance fragments filling the sky, Tang San inconspicuously used the Tang Sect secret technique Dragon Capturing Crane Controlling, changing the flight trajectory of one or two Eight Spider Lance fragments.
Then a fragment was seen flying toward the little girl in the crowd at extremely high speed.
"Tian Tian!"
Tang Hu was greatly alarmed. No longer caring about the duel, he rushed over to protect his daughter.
And this action exposed Tang Hu's back to Tang San's view.
Tang San boldly raised the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Clear Sky Hammer Fifth Soul Skill: Earth Hammer!"
Boom!
One hammer struck Tang Hu's back without mercy.
Tang Hu crashed to the ground.
And that fragment actually didn't fly to Tang Hu's daughter at all.
Under Tang San's exquisite technical control.
That fragment only created the illusion of flying toward the little girl. After Tang Hu took the bait, the fragment, under Tang San's force, like a boomerang, flew a short distance then reversed direction, flew back, and fell to the ground with a clatter.
Most people present couldn't see through this move.
Even if someone happened to see the fragment, they only thought it was a coincidence and wouldn't connect it to Tang San at all.
"I won."
Tang San said, standing firm while leaning on the Clear Sky Hammer.
After saying this, Tang San's body swayed and also fell to the ground.
The Eight Spider Lances had long been fused with Tang San, equivalent to Tang San's spine. With the Eight Spider Lances shattered, Tang San naturally suffered severe injuries too.
Not long after, Tang Hao successfully replaced Tang Xiao, inheriting the position of Clear Sky Sect master.
After becoming Clear Sky Sect master, although Tang Hao didn't immediately lift the sect's closed-mountain state, he had already begun secretly restoring the Clear Sky Sect's original forces and industries in the shadows.
Various disciples under the Clear Sky Sect also began gradually descending the mountain, secretly restoring the Clear Sky Sect's original power.
At the same time, Meng Bei, representing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, issued a soul hunting invitation to the Clear Sky Sect.
"Xiao Bei, have you really thought this through?"
Ning Fengzhi asked with a grave expression.
Meng Bei said firmly:
"Yes, father-in-law. Please believe me. My physical qualities now exceed those of ordinary Title Douluo. Absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring is absolutely no problem for me."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi recalled that battle between Meng Bei and Bibi Dong.
He no longer doubted what Meng Bei said.
"Good. Since that's the case, we'll accompany you on this trip to the Extreme North!"
Not long after, Tang Hao brought Tang Xiao and Scorching Sun Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect, along with several elite disciples, secretly coming to meet with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
Appearing this time were Clear Sky Sect's Haotian Douluo, Howling Heaven Douluo, and Scorching Sun Douluo.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Poison Douluo.
Six of the continent's top Title Douluo gathered together, with only one purpose.
Meng Bei's finger pointed at the map, directly at the Extreme North, the Ice God Mountain Range.
Target: hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Titan Snow Demon King.
Meng Bei explained his battle plan to everyone.
Although Meng Bei was only a Soul King, while everyone present was a Title Douluo, no one dared underestimate Meng Bei.
Meng Bei's strength was evident to all. That battle with Bibi Dong made Meng Bei's name resound before all under heaven. He had now become the number one genius of the Douluo Continent.
With strength comparable to Title Douluo, everyone was naturally willing to listen to Meng Bei's opinions.
Moreover, as someone born and raised in the Extreme North, Meng Bei was extremely familiar with all situations in the Extreme North. It was reasonable and proper for him to create the battle plan.
