Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 492 The Peerless Evil Spirit Has Arrived!

Tang Xiao channeled his inner energy into the Haotian Hammer and pressed forward without hesitation, smashing the hammer down on one of the spider legs of the Human-Faced Demon Spider King that was embedded in the ground. The seemingly enormous body showed no sign of slowing down.

Like drawing a sword from its sheath, the sharp spider legs instantly sliced ​​through the ground, slashing towards Tang Xiao in a huge arc, colliding with the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Xiao's hand. The enormous spider body, like a ballerina on a stage, lightly touched its toes, turned sharply, and the other spider legs slashed towards Tang Xiao.

"The Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian - Break, The Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian - Empt

Tang Xiao's expression was serious. He used all the techniques he had learned to the fullest. The huge Haotian Hammer in his hand swung around, leaving afterimages as it returned the blows like raindrops. The collisions with the spider legs produced rhythmic clanging sounds, and the force on the Haotian Hammer accumulated with each collision.

"The Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian: The Collapse Technique!"

Like a rainbow piercing the sun, or a meteor falling to earth, the enormous Haotian Hammer suddenly unleashed a speed completely disproportionate to its size. The power it had been holding back burst forth in an instant, instantly knocking back a giant spider leg and leaving a huge crack on its carapace.

Before Tang Xiao could even catch his breath, countless tiny, palm-sized phantoms of human-faced demonic spiders emerged from the cracks in the carapace and pounced on him.

Although they looked unremarkable, the soul power within each of these little spiders was boiling at its peak, and a faint purple mist even appeared on their carapaces. These derivatives created by soul skills charged towards Tang Xiao fearlessly, then detonated close to him.

For a moment, it almost shattered the layer of soul power attached to Tang Xiao's body, which had paused briefly due to the continuous use of the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian. The purple power eroded Tang Xiao's body, instantly turning one of his arms and a large area of ​​his skin into a dark purple color. His life force rapidly drained away, and he even showed signs of decay.

"Martial spirit's true form!"

Tang Xiao didn't know what trick he had fallen into, but he knew for sure that if he didn't react now, he would have no chance to react at all.

The seventh spirit ring lit up, and the Clear Sky Hammer expanded instantly. Tang Xiao wielded the Clear Sky Hammer with his left hand and swept it horizontally, sending the small spiders flying. At the same time, he used the recoil to propel his body backward like a cannonball. Simultaneously, his body flickered slightly, accompanied by a surge of spirit power.

An unknown torso bone soul skill was activated, and Tang Xiao's body was covered with a layer of earthy yellow light. His body was slightly strengthened and his abnormal resistance increased. His right hand, which had been numb, quickly regained its color. Although he still couldn't exert much strength, he managed to regain some mobility.

Tang Xiao was extremely vigilant. His ninth spirit ring faintly lit up, reflecting off the bones in his body, and his aura increased significantly.

Normally, Tang Xiao would have already unleashed his ninth soul skill, and if he was at a disadvantage, he would have responded with his Soul Ring Explosion. But now, because there were many people behind him to protect, Tang Xiao couldn't help but feel a bit hesitant to act rashly.

After unleashing his Martial Soul True Form and Ninth Soul Skill, he will be in a weakened state for several days, which is quite disadvantageous for him in his current state. Although the Ring Explosion can unleash power beyond his limits in an instant, even with the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian, he will still find it difficult to withstand the Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall for a period of time afterward.

In Soul Master battles, a large part depends on information. Tang Xiao had no idea who this Soul Master, whose Martial Soul true form was a Human-Faced Demon Spider, was, nor did he know the opponent's abilities or intentions. This put him in a somewhat passive position, making him more inclined to take a cautious approach.

"Who are you? What business do you have with us?"

While adjusting his state, Tang Xiao spoke cautiously. "Hehehe, I am Wan Gui. I have some connection with your Haotian Sect and originally intended to pay you a visit in the future, but I never expected to meet you all from the Haotian Sect today. It can truly be said to be a mandate from heaven."

The human-faced spider king stared at Tang Xiao with its eight compound eyes, its mouth opening and closing repeatedly, but the sound came from the lifelike human face on its abdomen.

"Ten Thousand Ghosts?" Tang Xiao thought for a moment and immediately remembered something he had heard during a casual chat with Tang San.

That is something that still pains him deeply when he thinks about it, and makes him hate himself for being weak back then.

"You're the one who stole Ah Yin's soul bone and desecrated her soul?! You dare show your face?! You actually dare show your face?!?!"

Tang Xiao's voice rose eight octaves, the caution in his eyes transformed into intense killing intent, his soul power surged as if boiling, his soul rings lit up one after another, and he unleashed a series of enhancement-type soul skills.

"Hey, how can you call it stealing when it comes to Soul Masters? You can only call it taking."

Chen Ming, who was controlling the Human-Faced Spider King, hadn't expected that the usually cautious Tang Xiao would become so agitated upon hearing his name. Because of Ah Yin, Tang Xiao was ready to fight him to the death.

As a kind-hearted person, Chen Ming quickly manipulated the Human-Faced Demon Spider King to spit out a large net, temporarily blocking Tang Xiao's advance and attack. Then, with a turn of his eyes, dark black mist was spewed out from the human face on the abdomen of the Human-Faced Demon Spider King, and one by one, the controlled souls were released.

This collection contains the souls of powerful and evil spirit beasts such as the Scorpion Tiger, the Brain-Eating Ape, and the Corrupting Demon Wolf, which are capable of discerning the situation. It also contains a large number of distorted spirits whose specific appearance and origin are unclear, seemingly created by forcibly piecing together various fragments of souls.

From the depths of the black mist, a young woman with a blue-purple hue slowly emerged. Her originally translucent body appeared incredibly real under the influence of her soul power, and her pink eyes were filled with complex emotions.

At her feet, stalks of dark blue-silver grass, covered in thorns like brambles, grew rapidly, creating a stage-like foothold on the ground. Other twisted or murky spirits prostrated themselves around her, seemingly in obedience.

"A-Yin! A-Yin, is that you?"

The moment Tang Xiao saw that figure, he screamed in terror. His sharp voice even echoed through the cave, reaching the minds of Tang Hao and Tang San. The two, each lost in their own thoughts, quickly looked up, staring in disbelief at the cave entrance.

"Gintoki. Gintoki? Gintoki! Gintoki!"

Inside the prison cart, Tang Hao excitedly raised his head and shouted Ah Yin's name as if he had lost his mind, desperately twisting his body inside, his eyes filled with a desire to live.
