Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as Buyer, Creating the Terrifying Sumeru

"Tang Long!?"

Tang Hu cried out in disbelief.

The person before him was none other than Tang Long, the stepson of Tang Xiao, the sect leader and his biggest rival within the sect!

"Tang Long, what are you doing?"

Alarm bells rang in Tang Hu's mind.

He clearly remembered that he had entered Sunset Forest with the Seventh Elder.

and so……

The Tang Long before us, and this martial arts arena, are most likely an illusion created by that strange enemy!

"Tang Hu".

"Today, right here and now, we will settle this score!"

"I am the sect's chief disciple!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Tang Long instantly unleashed his martial spirit, and his spirit rings also appeared one after another.

Two yellow, two purple, and three black!

next moment.

The Haotian Hammer in his hand swelled with the wind, carrying a fierce momentum as it hurtled straight toward Tang Hu!

"If you were the real Tang Long, I might be a little afraid of you, but this is just an illusion. Why would I be afraid of you?"

"Are you kidding me!"

Tang Hu snorted coldly, instantly acquiring his Martial Soul Clear Sky Hammer, with seven Soul Rings shining brightly as he charged forward without showing any weakness!

however!

After a fight...

Tang Hu was completely stunned!

because……

The Tang Long before him was not exactly the same as the Tang Long he knew; in fact, there was absolutely no difference between them!

Even if it's an illusion, it could never be so realistic and consistent, right?

In other words...

Is this really Tang Long?

But this isn't right!

What is he doing here?!

As if a certain possibility had occurred to him, Tang Hu felt a chill run down his spine. 'Could it be... that he wants to take this opportunity to get rid of me?'

"How dare he?!"

Tang Hu was both shocked and furious, but Tang Long had already charged forward again, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer. "Again!"

"when!"

Another clash of the two hammers, swaying precariously.

A terrifying shockwave exploded outwards from the two of them, causing the flags at the edge of the training ground to flutter wildly.

Tang Hu felt a tremendous force coming from the hammer handle, his tiger's mouth went numb, and he uncontrollably took three steps back.

"Impossible!" Tang Hu was shocked.

The power, the fluctuations of soul force, the details of the battle, even Tang Long's signature habit of slightly stepping forward half an inch with his left foot when he strikes with his hammer, are exactly the same!

An illusion... can it really go this far?

"Tang Hu, you're distracted while fighting me? You underestimate me that much?!"

Seeing that Tang Hu dared to be distracted, Tang Long's expression turned cold. "Since that's the case, then you can die!"

Tang Hu's heart skipped a beat. "How could this be?"

He knew very well that, in Tang Long's eyes, he was his lifelong enemy and his greatest rival!

The two people admire each other, but they also represent their respective factions and fight against each other.

But to be fair...

No matter who it is, no one should underestimate their opponent.

Anyone would be furious if they saw such disrespectful behavior towards the other party.

For example, Tang Hu was certain that if Tang Long dared to lose focus while fighting him, he might just as easily become enraged.

Similarly, Tang Long is the same!

"Seventh Soul Skill, Haotian True Body!" (This is not a typo on my part, but rather a problem with Tang Long's understanding.)

Tang Hu roared angrily.

Faced with Tang Long's all-out attack, he dared not be distracted in the slightest.

However... he seemed to have forgotten that he didn't have a seventh soul skill yet?

But ironically, the true form of the Clear Sky Hammer was indeed used!

And this appearance is exactly the same as the Martial Soul True Form of the Seventh Elder Tang Qi in his memory?

pity.

Tang Long was unaware of this at the moment.

"True Spirit Body!"

Similarly, Tang Long on the opposite side also activated his Martial Soul True Form.

The two enormous Haotian hammers collided with a deafening roar.

One hammer blow, two hammer blows, three hammer blows...

The hammer flashed and the energy surged.

Tang Hu became increasingly alarmed as he fought, because... he increasingly felt that the Tang Long before him was no longer some illusion, but real!

But this...

and many more!

Why did he think this was an illusion?

"Is it because...me?"

Tang Hu was somewhat bewildered. "Wait, what's this?"

"Did I have a nightmare?"

He had a vague feeling that he shouldn't be in the Haotian Sect, but rather in the Sunset Forest... Wait, why did he feel that he should be in the Sunset Forest?

It was because… Tang Hu was stunned for a long time, and couldn’t remember.

"Bang!"

Tang Hu was distracted and his Martial Soul True Body was broken, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough..."

He clutched his chest; the excruciating pain was very clear and obvious.

Can……

This floor...

These are indeed unique bluestone slabs found only by the Haotian Sect, and the air also carries a unique scent that belongs only to the high mountains of the Haotian Sect...

All of this left Tang Hu feeling as if he were in a dream, and he murmured, "Could it be... that I never went down the mountain with the Seventh Elder at all?"

"Was everything before just a nightmare?"

"I'm actually still sparring with Tang Long within the sect right now?"

Once this thought arises, it grows like wild grass, impossible to contain.

"No...no!"

Tang Hu bit his tongue sharply, the sharp pain bringing him to a moment of clarity. "I was with the Seventh Elder in Sunset Forest..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Tang Long, sitting opposite Tang Hu, frowned, seemingly displeased with Tang Hu's repeated lapses in concentration. Hearing his words, he immediately scoffed, "Tang Hu, you lost, so what's the point of making excuses?"

"The Seventh Elder is in a meeting; he doesn't have time to accompany you down the mountain!"

"I thought you'd become so powerful that you no longer took me seriously?"

What? What?

These words struck Tang Hu's mind like a heavy hammer.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the castle-like building in the distance, and seemed to vaguely see the hot-tempered Seventh Elder looking at him with resentment.

yes……

That... it really seems to be the Seventh Elder...

late at night.

At the edge of the forest at sunset, all was quiet.

But amidst this silence, four figures could be seen pushing two different wooden carts, walking from the eastern outskirts into the forest.

but.

Tonight is a little different.

The four people did not go in immediately, but stopped at the entrance of the eastern suburbs. With solemn expressions and respect, they took out three incense sticks from their soul guide storage bags and lit them.

Three for each person, twelve for a total.

then.

In this forest and grassland, there is a very inconspicuous, tiny stone statue that is even hidden by the grass.

Look closely.

This appears to be a chibi-style figurine of the statue located in the center of the Botanical Garden.

It wasn't even as tall as a blade of grass.

Very inconspicuous.

"Little Lucky Grass King, please protect us!"

But the four of them were extremely devout.

With synchronized movements, they clasped their hands together and respectfully performed the three kowtows and nine prostrations before the statue.

After doing all this.

The four of them carefully pushed two carts into the Sunset Forest.

And just after they left, the little chibi-style statue began to glow with faint blue light, as if in response...
