Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

"You lowly insect, die! Great Sumeru Hammer!"

Almost having his spirit body destroyed in one move, the evil Tang Chen was furious. His nine spirit rings suddenly shone brightly and then all disappeared into the Clear Sky Hammer spirit in his hand.

As demonic runes appeared, in an instant, the Haotian Hammer in the hands of the evil Tang Chen transformed into a hundred-meter-long blood-red giant hammer, roaring as it crashed down towards the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow.

"snort--"

With a cold snort, Mu Yang hurled another spear of condensed killing ice flames, meeting the crashing crimson giant hammer head-on.

Although this hammer blow was powerful, it was just the Great Sumeru Hammer, without the added power of exploding rings. Mu Yang, in his divine-level martial soul fusion skill state, would not back down.

"boom--"

The moment the spear and hammer collided, a violent roar erupted. Under the powerful blow, the Slaughtering Ice Flame Spear shattered, turning into tiny fragments of ice flame that scattered in all directions.

However, Tang Chen did not gain any advantage either. Although the Slaughtering Ice Flame Spear, which carried overwhelming killing intent, was smashed, the blood-red giant hammer was also covered with fine cracks. There was even a large pit left on the head of the blood-red giant hammer, which was pierced by the Slaughtering Ice Flame Spear.

"call--"

At this moment, the Ice Flame Dragon rushed over and spewed out a breath of ice flame, drenching the evil Tang Chen's Haotian True Body.

"Damn it, smash it!"

The icy blue flames burned fiercely, and the biting cold seeped into Haotian's body through his true form. Realizing that his blood was about to freeze, the evil Tang Chen was furious. He raised his only remaining left arm and swung his hammer down at the Ice Flame Dragon.

Mu Yang was not going to let Tang Chen succeed. While condensing the Killing Ice Flame Spear again, he controlled the Ice Flame Dragon to swing its tail and avoid the hammer, and began to fight back.

Using its strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow throws the Killing Ice Flame Spear from a distance, supplemented by Ice Flame Dragon's close-range melee combat to control the enemy.

That's right, Mu Yang was bullying Tang Chen, who lacked ranged attack methods!

Coincidentally, Mu Yang used a similar "shameless tactic" when he killed Tang Hao.

Even more coincidentally, the place where Tang Hao perished was nearby.

"Aaaaaah—, damn it!"

In the blink of an eye, several more rounds passed. Seeing that he, who was invincible in the world, could not break the deadlock, Tang Chen, who had fallen into evil and whose temperament was far inferior to what it used to be, could no longer hold back. The nine spirit rings that he had injected into his Clear Sky Hammer spirit reappeared.

"Great Sumeru Hammer Ultimate Technique: Ring Explosion!"

The next moment, a furious roar rang out, and the nine spirit rings emanating from the evil Tang Chen suddenly shone with brilliant light before shattering one after another.

In an instant, a terrifying aura emanated from the evil Tang Chen, directly breaking through the level 100 limit and entering a new level.

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for—you'll explode!"

Seeing that the evil Tang Chen's nine rings exploded simultaneously, his momentum rose to a new level, and he entered the god-level, Mu Yang was not surprised but delighted. While recalling the Ice Flame Dragon that had stepped forward to fight, Ice Flame Wings appeared on his back, and his figure retreated rapidly in mid-air.

In Mu Yang's opinion, putting aside Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue for the time being, the reason why Qian Xunji, the "Secret Chamber Douluo," was beaten by Tang Hao was purely because Qian Xunji played to his weaknesses and avoided his strengths, thus asking for trouble.

While the Great Sumeru Hammer's Ring Explosion technique can greatly enhance strength, its side effects are very obvious. Once the duration of the Ring Explosion expires, the user will fall into a weakened state.

Unless there is a huge difference in level, the speed of a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul Master is much faster than that of a Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul Master. By relying on their speed advantage and maintaining a safe distance, and not engaging in direct combat, they can easily take down the Hammer King once the duration of the ring explosion is over.

This tactic may seem somewhat shameless, and in the eyes of others, it may even be seen as an unfair victory, but it's still far better than being ridiculed as "the king of hammers hammers the angels generation after generation," right?

"You despicable insect, have the guts to fight me to the death!"

Seeing Mu Yang run away, the evil Tang Chen was furious. "I used my ultimate move, and you actually ran away? You're a disgrace to the Soul Master world, a coward!"

"Heh~, I hope you still have the courage to say this to me after the ring explosion time is over."

Mu Yang chuckled lightly, not provoked by the evil Tang Chen.

He reached god-level strength with his Martial Soul Fusion Skill, while the evil Tang Chen reached god-level strength with the Great Sumeru Hammer Ring Explosion Technique. Both are god-level combatants, and Mu Yang boasts that his Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow is by no means the one who is simply beaten. Without going into too much detail, it should be a 50/50 match.

But since there is an easier and risk-free way to defeat his opponent, why would he bother to fight head-on?

If you win, it's a thankless task with a small loss; if you lose, you'll suffer a huge loss.

He'd lose either way, so he wasn't going to fight head-on!

He possesses dual soul cores that complement each other's yin and yang, and Shui Bing'er also has a soul core. Both of their soul power can automatically recover, and the recovery speed is quite considerable, enough to make up for the consumption required to maintain the state of the martial soul fusion skill.

In non-high-intensity battles, he can maintain the existence of the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow.

On the other hand, how long can the evil Tang Chen maintain this state?

Once Tang Chen falls into a period of weakness, only death awaits him.

As for the current situation where the evil Tang Chen has directly exited the exploding ring state?

Because the ring-breaking time is still short, the side effects after ring-breaking are not significant.

But the spirit ring has already exploded and cannot be restored in a short time. Evil Tang Chen cannot explode it a second time, and he can't even use the Great Sumeru Hammer.

With the strongest trump card of the evil Tang Chen gone, how could he not be able to handle the situation with the strength of the god-level Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow?

It can be said that from the moment the evil Tang Chen detonated the ring, the outcome of this battle was already predetermined!

While Tang Chen was indeed of extremely poor character, he wasn't entirely stupid. Knowing that he couldn't hit the retreating Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow while in the Exploding Ring state, he decisively ended the Exploding Ring state.

But at this point, Tang Chen's defeat was obvious, and he had no chance of turning the tide.

In fact, Tang Chen's physical condition was worse than Mu Yang had anticipated.

Having been parasitized by the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King for many years, Tang Chen's body was severely depleted. If it weren't for the solid foundation of a demigod, Tang Chen would have long since died.

Moreover, before getting rid of the parasitic presence of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, Evil Tang Chen had his right arm and a small part of his right shoulder blown off by Mu Yang's Slaughtering Ice Flame Spear. His physical condition was so bad that it was not much better than Tang Hao's when he was heavily injured. Even if he did not actively exit the exploding ring state, he could not last long.

As soon as the evil Tang Chen exited the explosive state, Mu Yang, who followed the principle of "when the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy retreats, I advance," immediately followed suit, continuing to control the Ice Flame Dragon to lead the charge, while he himself threw out the Killing Ice Flame Spear one spear after another from a distance.

After another ten or so rounds, a spear of killing ice flames shattered the evil Tang Chen's nearly broken Haotian True Body. Then, the ice flame dragon pounced down, accompanied by the sound of flesh being pierced and body being torn apart. Amidst the blooming of crimson blood, the sharp dragon claws pierced straight through Tang Chen's heart.

Not long after, Tang Chen, who had suffered fatal injuries, completely lost his life.

Tang Chen, the patriarch of the Haotian Sect and invincible on land, is dead! (End of Chapter)
