Chapter 280: Battle with Tang Xiao! First Trial of Ring Explosion!
Seeing this scene before him, Tang Xiao's anger flared to its peak, unleashing a roar that shook the mountains!
The next second, without hesitation, his soul power erupted beneath his feet. His figure shot forward like a meteor tearing through the sky, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, heading straight toward the imposter below at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!
The distance between them closed rapidly!
While still in mid-air, dark light condensed in Tang Xiao's hand. The Clear Sky Hammer, symbolizing the number one weapon spirit in the world, instantly appeared in his grasp. Then, with a terrifying power capable of shattering mountains and splitting seas, without even using any soul skills and relying solely on pure strength and speed, he smashed it down on the imposter's back like Mount Tai pressing down!
This hammer, unleashed in fury, was as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder!
A titled Douluo's furious strike was enough to level a small hill!
However, facing this attack that would annihilate most soul masters, the fake Tang Xiao—who was advancing—seemed to have eyes in the back of his head.
Just as the Clear Sky Hammer was about to strike, his figure swayed slightly like a ghost. The movement was extremely small yet incredibly precise. He sidestepped and turned, then with unbelievable agility and anticipation, he narrowly avoided the edge of the hammer's wind!
"Boom—!!!"
The massive Clear Sky Hammer slammed heavily onto the bluestone-paved mountain path.
Instantly, gravel flew everywhere, dust billowed, and a crater several meters in diameter appeared.
The violent shockwave whipped up the surrounding vegetation.
And the imposter, using the force of this shockwave, glided forward more than ten meters, landing steadily—even having the leisure to brush off non-existent dust from his body.
A moment later, Tang Chuan slowly turned around. Staring at Tang Xiao's imposing face, a mocking smile played on his lips. He said calmly,
"Not bad, Grand Sect Master Tang. You've found me so quickly."
Hearing this, Tang Xiao—seeing the other man with a face identical to his own and speaking in such a flippant tone—felt his anger surge. He shouted sharply,
"You coward! Who are you?!"
In response to Tang Xiao's question,
Tang Chuan also raised his right hand, making a grasping motion.
Surprisingly, a completely black, ancient-looking Clear Sky Hammer—identical to the one in Tang Xiao's hand—appeared in his palm!
However, if someone with extremely keen spiritual power observed carefully, they would notice that the Clear Sky Hammer's texture was slightly peculiar, faintly exuding the vitality of vegetation rather than the heaviness of metal.
It was the Clear Sky Hammer that Tang Chuan had simulated using his soul skill, the Blue Silver Emperor!
Tang Chuan, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, smiled even more broadly. His voice was deep and resonant like Tang Xiao's, yet tinged with a nonchalant arrogance as he replied,
"Who am I? I am naturally the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect—Tang Xiao."
As soon as he finished speaking, he lightly stamped his foot.
"Buzz—!"
An indescribable, overwhelming aura suddenly erupted from his body!
Then, a scene that would be unforgettable for everyone present unfolded.
Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Platinum!
Six deep, blood-red, 100,000-year soul rings—symbolizing the highest dream of a soul master.
And one noble, mysterious, and beyond comprehension platinum soul ring.
A total of seven soul rings, like seven burning divine rings, spiraled upwards from beneath his feet, radiating brilliant light that illuminated the surrounding space!
This soul ring configuration, which completely violated the common sense and ironclad rules of the soul master world, was presented to Tang Xiao with unparalleled visual impact and spiritual shock!
"Wh...what?!"
"Six... six hundred-thousand-year spirit rings?!" "What is that white one?!"
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Exclamations and gasps of shock instantly erupted from all directions. Everyone was stunned by this unbelievable scene, their minds blank.
Even Tang Xiao—a titled Douluo with vast experience—had his pupils shrink to pinpoints the moment he saw the six red and one white-gold spirit rings. His face was filled with extreme shock and disbelief, and he froze for a moment!
What... what kind of monster is this?!
How could anyone possess such a spirit ring configuration?!
However, Tang Xiao was, after all, the leader of a sect, and his willpower far surpassed that of ordinary people.
That extreme shock only made him hesitate for less than a second before being replaced by deeper anger and killing intent. After all, no matter who the other party was, or what strange abilities they possessed, impersonating him, stealing the sect's treasure, and toying with the entire Clear Sky Sect was an unforgivable crime!
"Playing tricks! Take this!"
With a furious roar, Tang Xiao stopped talking nonsense and suppressed his shock. His Clear Sky Hammer erupted with a dazzling dark light once more, while the nine spirit rings beneath his feet shone brightly, instantly unleashing the terrifying power of a level 96 Power Attack Title Douluo.
The next moment, his figure shot toward Tang Chuan like a cannonball. His Clear Sky Hammer swung out with tremendous force, seemingly capable of crushing space itself!
Facing Tang Xiao's furious, all-out attack, Tang Chuan neither dodged nor evaded. Using Tang Xiao's voice—but with a condescending tone—he said,
"Well done, Clear Sky Douluo. Your aura is quite impressive."
"Perfect. I just learned something called Ring Explosion. Today… I'll use you to test it out."
As soon as he finished speaking—just as Tang Xiao's fierce hammer blow was about to strike—
Tang Chuan raised his free left hand, seemingly casually clenching it in the air.
"Buzz—!!!"
A deep buzzing sound suddenly erupted—not a deafening roar, but one that seemed to resonate directly into the depths of everyone's souls!
The sixth spirit ring on his body—a crimson, blood-red 100,000-year spirit ring—shattered instantly with that single grasp!
There was no earth-shattering explosion,
only a chilling sense of energy annihilation and the overwhelming, oppressive feeling of its instantaneous release!
That 100,000-year spirit ring—representing the realm a soul master dreams of—instantly transformed into the purest and most violent primal power.
Then, like a bursting dam, it surged wildly into Tang Chuan's body!
"Boom—!"
A terrifying aura far exceeding Tang Chuan's own Spirit Saint level—even surpassing the level of an ordinary Title Douluo—began to erupt from his body with a deafening roar!
At the same time, the air around him instantly distorted, the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and the Clear Sky Hammer—simulated by the Blue Silver Emperor—emitted a humming sound as if it could not bear the weight under the infusion of this violent power. The black light flowing on its surface became dazzling and unstable!
At this moment, the aura emanating from Tang Chuan briefly formed a balance of power with the enraged Tang Xiao!
