Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 268 Ninth Soul Skill Unveiled

After rescuing Tang Ya and giving her instructions, Huo Yuhao came to investigate.

……

In the clash between the two world's number one weapon spirits, Tang Hao ultimately gained the upper hand. This wasn't to say that Lin Chen's Nine Kill Sword was inferior to Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, but rather that the difference in their cultivation levels was too great.

The difference between those at the god level and those below the god level is like heaven and earth.

Even if Lin Chen used the Exploding Ring, he only briefly reached the god level, which was not enough to contend with Tang Hao's true godhood.

Lin Chen was knocked away and landed on the ground, creating a deep crater.

Tang Hao had no intention of giving Lin Chen a chance to breathe. The Haotian Hammer in his hand grew larger again, and he smashed it down on Lin Chen.

"The Great Sumeru Hammer!"

Lin Chen is incredibly strong to have forced Tang Hao to use the Great Sumeru Hammer.

Gazing at the enormous Haotian Hammer in the sky, Lin Chen's right arm emitted a dazzling light, and a huge dark gold dinosaur phantom appeared, its right arm radiating a dazzling dark gold light.

The first six hundred-thousand-year soul rings of the second martial soul exploded, and the phantom of the dark gold dinosaur behind Lin Chen became as real as a physical entity. Five dark gold claw blades, each tens of meters long, shot out from his right palm, and his aura soared to the god level once again.

Lin Chen slapped the giant Haotian Hammer with his right hand, and the phantom behind him moved in sync. The five claws of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear collided with the Haotian Hammer, producing a loud metallic scraping sound.

However, this time, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear actually managed to smash the Haotian Hammer into several fragments, causing a chip in the otherwise smooth and intact hammerhead.

Without hesitation, Lin Chen once again urged the dark gold dinosaur on his back to strike Tang Hao with one claw.

Tang Hao had no time to worry about the Clear Sky Hammer at this moment. He spun around in the air a few times and swung the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand to meet the dark gold claw that was coming down.

"Bang!"

With another loud bang, the Dark Gold Terror Claw was sent flying, its body staggering backward until it finally gave way, turning into specks of dark gold light and disappearing into the night sky.

Using the exploding ring continuously put a tremendous strain on Lin Chen's body. If it weren't for his strong physique, he would probably have been the one to die first.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and looking at Tang Hao who was coming towards him, the Nine Kill Sword reappeared in Lin Chen's hand.

On the Nine Kill Sword, the ninth soul ring flickered, and a strange inscription appeared between Lin Chen's eyebrows, emitting a pale blue light.

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to use our trump cards.

"This is... a divine position?!" Tang Hao exclaimed in surprise as he swooped down and saw the faintly glowing patterns on Lin Chen's body.

No wonder the mistress wanted him to kill her; she never expected him to have such a powerful divine position.

"One sword pierces the heavens, nine strikes shake the clouds!"

A surge of immense divine power rushed in, and Lin Chen hurled the Nine Kill Sword in his hand at Tang Hao above.

Tang Hao himself was a god-level being, so he could naturally feel the power of that sword, and his hair stood on end.

"May the Heavenly Guardian protect you!"

In a moment of desperation, Tang Hao immediately stopped his dive, and four beams of light materialized from his Clear Sky Hammer, circling around him.

"Bang!"

The Nine Kill Sword clashed with Tang Hao's soul skill.

"Below the God-King, all are but ants." Lin Chen's eyes shone with blue light as he slowly spoke.

The next moment, the Nine Kill Sword broke through Tang Hao's defenses without any resistance and went straight for his chest.

At the critical moment, the blue-gold light that Lin Chen had seen before appeared on Tang Hao's body, blocking his attack.

However, it wasn't completely blocked. Half of Lin Chen's attack still landed on Tang Hao, and the Nine Kill Sword pierced through Tang Hao's chest.

"Pfft!" Tang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood, staring in disbelief at his blood-stained chest as his body rapidly fell to the ground.

This blow was fatal for Tang Hao; his life was rapidly slipping away.

Lin Chen had less than 10% of his soul power left, but he could still kill Tang Hao.

Tang Hao also landed on the ground, creating a huge crater.

Holding the Nine Kill Sword, Lin Chen walked step by step toward Tang Hao.

Reaching the edge of the pit, Lin Chen said contemptuously, "Didn't Tang San want to kill me? Today, I'll kill you first!"

"Kill me or torture me, it's up to you." Tang Hao hadn't expected to lose, but since he had lost, he wouldn't say anything.

"You're a real man, I'll give you a quick death!"

Just as he was about to make a move, a voice rang out behind Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen!"

Looking back, I saw that it was Huo Yuhao who had come.

"Lin Chen, it really is you!"

Huo Yuhao quickly walked to Lin Chen's side.

"Is something the matter?" Lin Chen asked, his voice weak. He quickly took out a few pieces of spiritual herbs from his storage bag and put them in his mouth.

"What was that explosion?" Huo Yuhao asked, having walked to the edge of the pit and seen the man inside.

Lin Chen pointed at him and said, "He is Tang San's father. Tang San sent him to kill me."

Huo Yuhao was shocked. "Tang San? Why would he come to kill you?"

Lin Chen sneered and said, "Speaking of which, class monitor, you're now Tang San's prospective son-in-law, and Tang Wutong is Tang San's daughter."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Huo Yuhao's face turned deathly pale, and he staggered backward. "This is impossible! How could Wu Tong possibly be Tang San's daughter?"

He had considered that Tang Wutong's parents would be peerless experts, but he never imagined that they would be Tang San, the Sea God from ten thousand years ago!

Lin Chen ignored him, his gaze returning to Tang Hao, and he slashed down with his sword.

Just as Tang Hao's life was about to be taken, a bolt of azure lightning blocked Lin Chen's Nine Kill Sword, and then two figures that Huo Yuhao knew all too well appeared.

"Uncle Niu, Uncle Tai, what are you doing here?" Huo Yuhao asked, his tone accusatory.

Lin Chen's words had indeed affected him a lot, and he was completely baffled as to why Tang San, the dignified Sea God, would send his father, Tang Hao, who was also a god, to the mortal realm to kill a Soul Master.

Neither of them expected Huo Yuhao to come, and for a moment they were speechless.

Seeing the two of them looking unsure how to explain to Huo Yuhao, Lin Chen sneered again.

"What? Do the two sect leaders wish to spar with me?"

Although Lin Chen's strength was now less than one-tenth of his peak, he showed no sign of backing down. At this moment, showing weakness would only expose his opponent's weakness.

"Boy, don't try to provoke me with your words. Today, for Yuhao's sake, we will spare your life."

After saying that, the three of them disappeared.

Lin Chen plopped down on the ground, his life domain activating automatically, frantically absorbing the surrounding life energy and converting the surrounding soul power.

Sensing such abundant life force, Huo Yuhao was taken aback and quickly asked, "Lin Chen, what kind of domain is this?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly, "Class monitor, if someone wanted to find out some of your hidden Soul Master abilities, would you tell them?"

Huo Yuhao immediately lost his temper, but quickly changed the subject.

"Is it really Tang San who wants to kill you?"
