Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong.

In the arena of life and death, the Asura Blood Sword and the Trident of the Sea God clashed repeatedly.

After unleashing the Exploding Ring, Tang Chen was as if divinely aided. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his strength had reached the god level, and he was already infinitely close to the god level.

Su Mo was the same, even with the support of various states.

In terms of combat skills, Su Mo had also been tempered in the City of Slaughter and was not much inferior to Tang Chen.

With the addition of the unpredictable power of time and space, Su Mo was not able to turn the tide against Tang Chen after the ring was blown up.

The battle between the two sides has escalated into a truly fierce and intense conflict.

This was the first time Su Mo had encountered such an evenly matched opponent, and they fought a very enjoyable and exhilarating battle.

Only after seeing Tang Chen's aura begin to wane, and it seemed that the effect of the exploding rings was about to disappear, did Su Mo deliver the final blow to Tang Chen.

"The Light of Poseidon!"

hum-

A powerful light of the sea god emanated from Su Mo, instantly illuminating the entire arena of life and death. Tang Chen had nowhere to hide and was instantly engulfed by Su Mo's golden light of the sea god.

"snort--"

Tang Chen, who was engulfed by the light of the sea god, let out a muffled groan.

Tang Chen felt completely paralyzed under the golden light, his body felt like it was collapsing, and even his own body seemed to be screaming in agony. The pain was indescribable.

"Damn it, what kind of soul skill is that...?"

Tang Chen gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly, but found that there was nothing he could do but grit his teeth and endure it.

"ah--"

"don't want--"

After a while, Tang Chen realized with a start that it wasn't his own body screaming, but rather something else within his body.

That damned blood-red nine-headed bat king that has been parasitizing him for decades!

Tang Chen found that his body was no longer in so much pain until the blood-red nine-headed bat king's screams completely disappeared.

Tang Chen instantly understood that everything was caused by the demise of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King.

The Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King that was parasitizing his body had already been destroyed by the enemy's soul skill.

Upon learning that the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, who had caused him so much trouble, had been eliminated, Tang Chen felt a sense of relief, but also a bitter smile.

The death of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King was fine, but his death implicated him.

Because his body had been parasitized for a long time, his internal organs and tissues had almost become one with the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, almost indistinguishable from each other.

Therefore, the Blood Nine-Headed Bat King's body was on the verge of collapse after his death.

He's dead.

Even if he defeats Su Mo, he won't live for many more days.

Moreover, given his current physical condition, there is absolutely no way he could defeat his opponent!

"You've won. Can you tell me your name?"

"I want to know who killed me, Tang Chen, in the end!"

After Su Mo's Sea God's Light disappeared, Tang Chen completely gave up resisting and looked at Su Mo, slowly speaking.

"You said you're Tang Chen?"

Upon hearing Tang Chen's words, Su Mo on the other side immediately feigned surprise and widened her eyes.

"That's right, I am Tang Chen!"

Tang Chen wasn't surprised by Su Mo's words. Wasn't it normal to have heard of his name?

"Impossible! Tang Chen was once the Clear Sky Douluo, and his martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer. What you just used was clearly not the Clear Sky Hammer!"

Su Mo immediately questioned.

"snort!"

hum-

Upon hearing Su Mo's question, Tang Chen snorted arrogantly, offered no explanation, and simply summoned his Clear Sky Hammer with a wave of his hand.

Of course, he did summon his Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, but Tang Chen's Soul Rings did not appear at the same time.

After using the Soul Ring Explosion, Tang Chen temporarily lost his Soul Rings and it would take several days for them to regenerate.

This was only because his mastery of exploding spirit rings was already superb; otherwise, if things went wrong, the exploded spirit rings might never be able to be regenerated.

"Haotian Hammer!"

"Then you really are the Senior Tang Chen that Senior Poseidon is looking for!"

When Su Mo saw Tang Chen summon the Clear Sky Hammer, he finally revealed that he knew Poseidon.

"Who are you talking about?"

Upon hearing Poseidon's name, Tang Chen's expression immediately changed.

"Poseidon-senpai from Poseidon Island!"

Su Mo spoke again.

"Is she...is she alright now?"

After confirming that the person Su Mo was referring to was indeed Poseidon, Tang Chen's expression became complicated.

"Senior Poseidon has always been the high priestess of Poseidon Island..."

Su Mo simply answered, then put away the Trident of Poseidon: "Senior Tang Chen, the previous King of Slaughter wasn't you, was it?"

Su Mo pretended to see that Tang Chen was clearly different from the previous King of Slaughter.

"That's right. Because of an ambush, I was possessed by a blood-red nine-headed bat king. The previous King of Slaughter wasn't me..."

"If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to wake up!"

"Because of your previous attack, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King that was parasitizing my body is dead, and I have regained my freedom!"

Seeing that Su Mo had figured it out, Tang Chen didn't hide it and readily admitted it.

His tone was somewhat complicated, though he himself hadn't expected that he would be ambushed by a soul beast and have his body occupied for decades.

"In this arena of life and death, must someone die before we can leave?"

Finally, Tang Chen glanced at the arena of life and death before him and asked a question.

If someone has to die, then that person certainly can't survive.

So he prepared to instruct Su Mo on some matters and have Su Mo transmit some information back to Poseidon.

If it weren't absolutely necessary for someone to die, that would be ideal.

His physical condition is as bad as it gets, but he might be able to hold on and see Poseidon one last time before he dies.

Therefore, Tang Chen unconsciously became somewhat nervous when he looked at Su Mo.

He certainly didn't want to die here.

"No, that's not it. Anyone I bring in who wants to leave must have one of them die!"

"If I were to directly cancel the Arena of Life and Death, then naturally it wouldn't be necessary!"

Su Mo smiled faintly upon hearing this.

hum-

With a thought, Su Mo and Tang Chen vanished from the arena of life and death.

Su Mo and Tang Chen quickly arrived outside the City of Slaughter.

"Senior Tang Chen, if you don't mind, I'll use my spacetime soul skill to take you to Seagod Island!"

As Su Mo spoke, she put her hand on Tang Chen's shoulder.

Tang Chen's shoulders stiffened slightly as a reflex, before relaxing without any resistance.

He felt it was unnecessary; if Su Mo wanted to kill him, she could have done so just now.

Moreover, Su Mo knew Poseidon and even helped him eliminate the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, so Tang Chen was still willing to believe Su Mo.
