Douluo Continent: I Have No Thieves Under Heaven, the Explosive King Returns

Chapter 184 Battle of Tang Lie

"Explosive King, return to your throne!"

This time, no scroll was needed to summon it; the Burst King mech appeared centered around the theme of "No Thieves Under Heaven".

In the blink of an eye, a colossal blue steel beast, several meters tall, appeared.

The steam spewing from the joints condensed into white mist on the battlefield, like the breath of an ancient mythical beast awakening.

Faced with the overwhelming Haotian Hammer that blotted out the sky, Tianxia Wuzei did not retreat but advanced.

The moment the Burst King mech's foot crushed the ground, the hard, blood-red surface shattered like a biscuit.

A circular crater, tens of meters wide, exploded outwards from the center of a foot, sending debris flying like a meteor shower.

"Overlord Chasing Wind Fist!"

A blue afterimage ripped through the void, and the mecha appeared ghost-like directly beneath the Haotian Hammer.

The hydraulic system on the right arm emitted a piercing hum, and the fist surface gleamed with a ghostly blue light as it fiercely met the giant hammer burning with raging flames.

boom--

The heavens and earth seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, and then suddenly released, with visible shockwaves spreading out in a ring from the point of impact.

The clouds were instantly shredded into dust wherever it passed, and even the trees on the mountainside of the distant mountain range were uprooted as if hit by a gale.

The Haotian Hammer, which seemed to suppress the void, was actually frozen in mid-air by this punch.

A large burst of sparks erupted at the point where the hammerhead collided with the iron fist.

"what?!"

Tang Lie felt the immense force from the Haotian Hammer in his arms, and his pupils contracted sharply in shock.

He, a level 93 Title Douluo specializing in offensive attacks, actually possesses power comparable to Tianxia Wuzei, a Soul Saint?!

"Impossible! How dare a mere Soul Saint challenge the might of the Heavenly Emperor! Shatter!"

His face was contorted like a demon, and his level 93 soul power erupted without reservation.

The fiery red Haotian Hammer expanded wildly under the infusion of soul power, and the flames rising from the hammer body shot straight into the sky, dyeing half of the sky a purgatory-like crimson.

Seeing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei prepared to step in to help.

However, they were stopped by Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo.

"He's confident, don't go up and sway him. Our Martial Soul Empire's Pope is no weakling!"

The western battlefield fell into a deathly silence in an instant. Everyone's breath seemed to stop, and their eyes were fixed on the two figures in the sky.

The confrontation between the cyan mecha and the crimson giant hammer was like the struggle between yin and yang at the beginning of the world, so intense that even the wind held its breath.

The high temperature of the Haotian Hammer is enough to melt fine steel, yet it cannot even leave a scorch mark on the cyan armor of the Burst King Mech.

For Tianxia Wuzei, who possesses the Fire Dragon King Martial Soul, this level of popularity is like fireflies compared to the bright moon.

Feeling the change in force transmitted through the hammer, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Didn't you eat?" His slightly metallic mockery came through the mecha's built-in loudspeaker. "Where's the power of the Clear Sky Hammer to break through all laws? In your hands, it's like an embroidery needle in an embroidery room!"

Before the words were even finished, the Burst King mech slammed its right leg heavily into the void.

An eerie ripple spread beneath their feet, and the space seemed to shatter like glass beneath their feet, making a faint cracking sound.

Its fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up, and a red halo swept over the entire mecha like a tide, with the faint phantom of the Titan Giant Ape roaring behind it.

"Give me flight!"

His left fist, accompanied by a whistling blue wind, shot out. Before the wind even arrived, several jagged cracks had already been torn open in the void.

The fiery red Haotian Hammer, as large as a small mountain, was sent flying backwards like a kite with a broken string. The flames on the hammer body were violently extinguished in the gale, revealing its charred black body.

"what?!"

Tang Lie was struck as if by lightning, and his entire body was lifted into the sky by the Haotian Hammer.

The sound of wind breaking was sharp and piercing, and seven sonic booms exploded behind them, leaving long white trails in the air.

He spun like a top hundreds of times while flying backwards at high speed, until he crashed through three layers of clouds and barely managed to stabilize himself.

It felt as if my brain had been flung out of my skull, and I was seeing stars and couldn't tell which way was which.

"Seventh Brother, watch out behind you!" The Third Elder of Haotian Sect roared like a thunderclap, but it was already half a step too late.

The Burst King mech had appeared a hundred meters behind Tang Lie at some point, its thrusters spewing out ten-meter-long blue flames.

The fourth spirit ring lit up again, this time radiating an even deeper crimson light.

"Overlord Chasing Wind Fist - Explosive Style!"

The mountain-sized cyan iron fist, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that tore through space, rapidly magnified in Tang Lie's pupils at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The wind pressure condensed on the fist had torn Tang Lie's robes, revealing the bleeding skin underneath.

Tang Lie's pupils contracted sharply. At the critical moment of life and death, he held the Clear Sky Hammer horizontally in front of him and poured his soul power into the hammer without reservation.

"The Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian - The Void Technique!"

Embracing diversity and resonating in the empty valley, the "emptiness" principle emphasizes leveraging and deflecting external forces.

Tang Lie wanted to use this to block the attack from "No Thieves Under Heaven".

But how could the Overlord Chasing Wind's punches, empowered by Titan's Wrath, be easily blocked?
The moment the steel fist made contact with the Haotian Hammer, the jade-colored aura around Tang Lie shattered like glass.

boom!
With a muffled thud and the cracking sound of bones breaking, Tang Lie, like a boulder struck by a battering ram, crashed down like a red meteor.

Rumble!
The earth exploded at the point of impact, unleashing a circular shockwave hundreds of meters in diameter. Smoke and dust rose like mushroom clouds, and debris mixed with broken weapons shot into the sky.

The Allied Soul Masters, who were unable to dodge in time, were sent flying, their screams and the sound of bones breaking echoing around them.

"Old Seven!"

The other elders of the Haotian Sect wanted to provide assistance, but they were stopped by Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo.

The thief-free eagle stood high above, overlooking the epicenter of the explosion.

The smoke and dust settled slowly like boiling mud, revealing a circular crater with a diameter of 100 meters.

Tang Lie lay sprawled at the bottom of the pit, as if all the bones in his body were broken.

Blood gushed from the collapse site, forming winding streams on the ground and staining large scorched areas of land red.

His prized Haotian Hammer was stuck diagonally in the ground more than ten meters away.

The flames on the hammer had long since died out, and it was covered with tiny, spiderweb-like cracks.

"Cough...cough..."

With both his body and martial spirit damaged, Tang Lie coughed up a mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs with each cough.

Each breath pulled at his broken ribs, producing a sickening grinding sound.

Her once neatly combed long hair was now disheveled, covered in dust and blood.

The once magnificent elders' robes had been reduced to tattered rags, revealing glimpses of their charred thighs.

Tang Lie's bloodshot eyes were fixed on the blue mecha in the sky.

"No...impossible..."

His voice was as hoarse as a broken gong, and every word he uttered sounded like a razor blade being pulled from his throat.

"I am the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect... a Level 93 Title Douluo... how could I lose to... a Soul Saint..."

Tang Lie tried to prop himself up, but all the bones in his body were already shattered, so how could he possibly stand up?

Upon seeing this scene, the Clear Sky Sect Soul Masters who had originally clamored to crush the Spirit Empire were all speechless, as if an invisible hand had gripped their necks.

"No Thief Under Heaven" sneered at Tang Lie, making a mocking sound.

"You don't really think that relying on others to break through to the Title Douluo level is without any flaws, do you? Your body has already been corroded, but you've been blinded by power and haven't noticed."

They were all elevated to Title Douluo by Tang Chen using the methods of those fallen soul masters in the City of Slaughter; it's impossible for them to be without any flaws.

After all, not everything is like the magic herb, without any side effects.

The Wind Domain of the World Without Thieves is capable of meticulous observation, and discovered Tang Lie's weakness right at the start of the battle.

He slowly raised the giant lion cannon towards Tang Lie at the bottom of the pit, his voice like the pronouncement of death.

"Tang Lie, you are honored to be the first Title Douluo I have killed with my own strength!"
