Douluo Continent: Kunxu Descends, Second-Player Players Are Stunned

Chapter 60 Offering Help? Charged by the Hour!

"Who are you?"

Sensing a powerful aura approaching him, Tang Xiao quickly dodged, but how could a mere Soul King possibly withstand the attack of a Title Douluo!

Even though the Clear Sky Hammer is a top-tier martial soul in the Douluo Continent with extremely strong attack power, the Sea Maiden Douluo's strength lies in mental power. In the face of an absolute difference in soul power, all resistance seems futile.

The Sea Maiden Douluo scoffed, "The mighty Twin Stars of Haotian have actually fallen to this state!"

"What do you mean?" After sensing that familiar energy fluctuation, Tang Xiao simply gave up resisting. Trying to play tricks in front of a Title Douluo was tantamount to showing off one's skills in front of an expert.

If you anger someone, they might not even be able to save their life.

He must stay calm!

He wanted to stall for time and wait for his father to come to his rescue!

Her powerful mental strength grants the Sea Maiden Douluo a special ability: she can sense human emotional fluctuations and thus guess what they are thinking.

"It seems you are unaware that your father and your people have already left this place!"

Tang Xiao's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously retorted to the witch's words, "That's impossible!"

"Is that so?" The female diver smiled.

When disaster strikes, everyone flees for their lives.

The scheming and intrigue among humans truly opened the eyes of this mermaid!

"Why would I, a titled Douluo, need to lie to a mere brat like you?"

"Don't even think about disrupting the morale of my Haotian Sect!" Tang Xiao retorted defiantly, fearing that the people on the battlefield would be bewitched by this enchantress. He quickly amplified his voice with his soul power so that all the Haotian Sect disciples could hear him, "Haotian Sect will not abandon anyone who joins us!"

"Today, I stand with you all!"

"Even if I die in battle, we will never surrender to Devil's Island!"

Just as Tang Xiao was delivering his impassioned speech, several powerful voices descended upon the Haotian Sect.

"It seems I've come at the wrong time!" Golden Crocodile Douluo scratched his head.

He came here for no other purpose than to make a quick buck.

Although those who are enshrined in the Spirit Hall receive a fixed salary, their situation is quite awkward.

If the salary is too high, subordinates will question whether the employee is taking the money but not delivering results.

If I actually go and do something, I'll get criticized. People will say, "You're so strong, why are you competing with us weaklings for tasks?"

Often, they can only use their power to secure good jobs for their families and then take a cut of the headhunting fees.

Orders like this, which specifically request the participation of a Title Douluo-level powerhouse, are extremely rare, occurring only once every few centuries!

Sensing the arrival of several Title Douluos from the outside world, the strongest person from Seagod Island hurriedly came out of the Haotian Palace, with Hailong leading the way.

Because all the titled Douluo from Seagod Island had appeared, the Soul Masters below stopped attacking.

They knew that the outcome of this battle was no longer in their hands!

Tang Xiao's expression changed slightly. He suddenly felt like a clown just a second ago. He had been abandoned by the sect, yet he firmly defended the Haotian Sect and his father's image.

"Why? Why would Father lie to me? Does he really want me to die?"

The Sea Maiden Douluo was very close to him. Sensing this unusual emotion, she immediately leaned forward and whispered a seductive message in his ear.

"You and your brother are hailed as the Twin Stars of Haotian," but you are older and have cultivated for longer. Although Tang Hao has been appointed as the young sect leader, who knows if you harbor any rebellious intentions? No one can guarantee that the Haotian Sect won't see fratricide in the future!"

"If you die here today, you will become a hero of the Haotian Sect, and a role model for your younger brother. The Haotian Sect will also give the world an explanation because of your death: they did not desert in the face of battle, but you voluntarily sacrificed yourself to preserve the main force of the Haotian Sect!"

"At this point, you are merely a dead man, unable to defend your actions. Only the Haotian Sect can explain your motives!"

"And Tang Hao, your younger brother who is even more talented than you, will hate Seagod Island. This hatred will drive him to cultivate like a madman, making him the most dazzling genius of this era!"

Tang Xiao was shocked. On one hand, he kept trying to convince himself that it was all the Sea Maiden Douluo's doing, but reason forced him to analyze it along this line of thought!

The Sea Maiden Douluo did not bewitch him!

She was simply stating the most stark facts!

"No, Father must have his reasons! I must not be bewitched by this witch!"

"The support from all the sects has arrived, and the Spirit Hall has even sent a high-ranking official. It must be Father. Father still cares about me; he has a backup plan!"

Seeing Tang Xiao stubbornly refusing to listen, the Sea Maiden Douluo rolled her eyes and decided to ignore him.

According to the intelligence she had gathered, everyone on this continent was the type who "wouldn't get up early for nothing," and their presence here now was probably not to help the Haotian Sect, but rather to kick them while they were down.

Hailong and Jin'e Douluo were quite familiar with each other, and because they had made a grand vow to the God of Wealth, they were also quite familiar with the ways of the mainland, and they could tell at a glance that the other party was there to make money.

"You're too late. The direct disciples of the Clear Sky Sect have already evacuated!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo opened his mouth, and after a long while, he finally found his voice: "It's only been a few hours? You haven't even fought for three hours, and they've already slipped away right under your noses?"

"There's nothing I can do. Those brutes who snatched the hammers are a bit crazy, and I'm afraid of getting into their trap," Hailong explained expressionlessly.

Seeing that Jin E was puzzled, Hai Xing Douluo explained the details of the battle at Luo Ying Jian to him.

"That day, the Grand Elder of the Clear Sky Sect chose to burn himself to fight us to the death. The power of that explosion was terrifying. Even though several of us Title Douluos joined forces to resist, we were still slightly injured."

"Later, we learned that the Grand Elder of the Clear Sky Sect used the Exploding Rings Secret Technique to unleash power close to that of a Super Douluo."

"My elder brother feared that the Clear Sky Sect had set an ambush and would use the lives of Soul Douluos to injure us after we entered the main peak to search for someone, so—"

"So you set up positions within the Haotian Sect, giving them time to escape?" Qingluan Douluo asked with a strange expression.

Seahorse Douluo nodded.

"What a blunder!" Golden Crocodile Douluo slapped his forehead, somewhat amused and exasperated by the decision made by the people of Seagod Island.

Isn't this being overly cautious?

"As far as I know, currently, only the past sect leaders and the deceased Grand Elder have mastered the secret technique of exploding rings within the Haotian Sect."

"Ah, this—" The six titled Douluo fell silent.

Is this the strength of the number one sect in the world?

The food was almost horribly bad.

If Seagod Island could master the secret technique of exploding rings, they would definitely make all Soul Masters learn it.

Gu Rong wasn't familiar with the people on Poseidon Island; he came here purely to make money.

Seeing that the group was chatting, he secretly used his martial spirit to steal Tang Xiao away.

Tang Xiao's face lit up with joy, and he quickly asked, "Are you the helper my father invited?"

"Pay protection money? If you don't, I absolutely won't help you!"

Tang Xiao blinked: "How much?"

"Pay me 10,000 gold soul coins, and I won't attack you. Pay me 100,000 gold soul coins—"

Before Gu Rong could finish speaking, the retainers of the Spirit Hall swarmed him and gave him a good beating.

"You filthy scab, prepare to die!"

While beating people up, Golden Crocodile Douluo didn't forget to put up a price list.

The first line is in large characters—

Hourly rate!
