Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 318 Xue Qinghe Prepares for His Death

"Old buddy—"

Upon seeing this, Meng Shenji and Zhilin couldn't help but cry out in pain. After decades of getting along, the three of them were not blood brothers but were closer than brothers. Now, seeing each other die in front of them, the two of them felt a pang of pain in their hearts.

"Tang Xiao, I'll kill you!"

Both of them attacked Tang Xiao like madmen, their eighth spirit rings lighting up simultaneously, and two surging attacks heading straight for Tang Xiao.

"How overconfident! Two mere Soul Douluos dare to challenge a Title Douluo!"

Tang Xiao shouted and slammed down with his hammer again, easily deflecting the attacks of the two men. But Tang Xiao's attack was not over yet. The dark hammer enveloped the two men at the same time, like a black dragon swooping down.

"Old buddy, get out of the way!"

Zhilin roared, and his Azure Vine Martial Soul transformed into a long whip, flinging Meng Shenji away, while he himself took the full force of Tang Xiao's hammer blow.

boom!

With a deafening roar, countless plumes of blood rose into the air, and Zhilin's body instantly turned into a pile of minced meat, leaving not even a whole corpse behind.

"Xue Qinghe, prepare to die!"

Tang Xiao did not attack Meng Shenji, who had been thrown away by Zhilin. Instead, he spun around and headed straight for his primary target, Xue Qinghe.

"His Majesty!"

Meng Shenji, who had been flung away by Zhilin, suddenly unleashed an astonishing power from nowhere and rushed back in an instant, using his body as a shield in front of Xue Qinghe.

"Loyal and righteous men!"

Hiding in the shadows, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh. It was a pity that Meng Shenji and the others weren't loyal to him; he would have no choice but to send them underground to serve the Heavenly Dou royal family once more.

Under Xiao Yu's regretful gaze, Tang Xiao struck Meng Shenji's chest with a heavy hammer. The terrifying force shattered Meng Shenji's liver and gallbladder, sending him to the underworld to join his good partners Zhilin and Bai Baoshan.

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qing, was actually unharmed. With her strength, taking a blow from Tang Xiao was not difficult at all, not to mention that she had a tank, Meng Shenji, to share most of the impact for her.

However, in order to shed the identity of Xue Qinghe and return to the Hall of Worship to begin the final two tests of the Angel God and achieve godhood as soon as possible, Qian Renxue secretly circulated her soul power, forcibly spitting out a mouthful of blood, and feigning a severe injury.

Tang Xiao had no suspicion of deception. According to his intelligence, Xue Qinghe was just a Soul Emperor who had just broken through to level 60, and his Martial Soul was a swan that was all show and no substance. Even with Meng Shenji as his meat shield, this hammer blow would be enough to take his life.

However, just to be on the safe side, Tang Xiao decided to deliver another blow to ensure that Xue Qinghe was absolutely dead.

"Tang Xiao, you scoundrel! How dare you act so arrogantly within the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace!"

Just then, Xiao Yu, who had been hiding in the shadows, made his move. The act was almost over, and he had to give Xue Qinghe time to say his last words.

Ding!

A flash of sword light, and the Haotian Hammer instantly flipped 180 degrees in the air, making a big circle and returning to Tang Xiao's hand.

Meanwhile, in the distant night sky, a dozen or so points of light streaked across the sky like shooting stars.

"Damn it, the experts from the Nine Star Palace have arrived!"

Ning Fengzhi's face immediately darkened, and he couldn't help but curse under his breath.

Little did they know that these people had been watching the show outside the palace since early morning, only showing themselves when Xiao Yu gave the signal.

However, apart from a few people who knew the truth, everyone present, whether friend or foe, assumed that they had just arrived, and that Yang Wudi was the titled Douluo powerhouse that the Nine Star Palace had arranged to be stationed in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace long ago.

"Everyone, retreat immediately!"

Both Tang Xiao and Sect Master Ning issued the order to retreat without prior agreement.

"Want to leave? Not so easy! Sect Leader Tang, stay!"

Xiao Yu sneered, his figure flashed and shot out, his long sword swung like lightning, the sharp sword energy mixed with a fierce sound of wind breaking as he swung it fiercely towards Tang Xiao.

Tang San is temporarily untouchable thanks to the protection of the God of Asura, but those around him are not so lucky. The God of Asura cannot use his resurrection skill indiscriminately. Today, he will take the lives of Tang Xiao and the other Title Douluos.

"Xiao Yu, don't get carried away by a few words of praise from the outside world. Today, I'll show you what a true powerhouse is!"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Tang Xiao immediately shouted, his seventh soul ring lit up, and a strong black light surged. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand suddenly magnified nearly a hundred times, and the huge hammer head was like a small mountain. He raised the Clear Sky Hammer high above his head and headed straight for Xiao Yu.

"A true powerhouse? Tang Xiao, you're not qualified!"

Facing Tang Xiao, who had activated his Martial Soul True Form, Xiao Yu merely lit up his fifth spirit ring.

With a single swing of the sword, thousands of sword beams appeared simultaneously, like lightning piercing the night sky, slashing fiercely at the falling Haotian Hammer.

boom!

Another earth-shattering roar resounded, and Tang Xiao's body was thrown backward rapidly. His blood and qi surged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"What?"

Tang Xiao looked on in disbelief. He was a dignified level 97 Title Douluo. Could it be that the rumors outside were true? Could it be that Xiao Yu, a young man in his early twenties, had already reached the level of his grandfather?

"How is it, Master Tang?"

Xiao Yu stood there, looking at Tang Xiao with a mocking expression: "Weren't you going to teach me what a true strongman is? Continue!"

"You little thief, don't be so arrogant!"

Tang Xiao roared and unleashed the Haotian Nine Techniques in a fit of rage. The nine techniques of shaking, emptying, sealing, penetrating, piercing, entangling, breaking, striking, and collapsing were displayed one by one. Because Tang Xiao was not qualified to learn the Exploding Ring and the Great Sumeru Hammer, his mind was focused on the Haotian Nine Techniques. In this aspect, his attainment was far superior to Tang Hao's, second only to Tang Chen.

"Tang Xiao, arrogance requires resources, and I happen to have them!"

Xiao Yu shouted loudly, and the Hades Sword in his hand shone brightly, exuding a terrifying killing intent. The sword light was like a rainbow, and the sword energy crisscrossed, transforming into a sky full of starlight that fell from the sky.

Ding ding ding!!

Sword and hammer clashed, sparks flew, and the enormous recoil reverberated within Tang Xiao's body, causing blood to continuously seep from his skin.

"Oh no!"

The five Title Douluos behind Tang Xiao noticed his decline and rushed forward to offer their support.

Among the five, the Sea Dragon Douluo, whose soul power had broken through level 95, was the fastest and rushed over in the blink of an eye.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Tsunami Destroyer!"

The sixth spirit ring on Hailong Douluo lit up, and the huge blue dragon behind him twisted, causing a large amount of seawater to gush out from the ground and sweep towards Xiao Yu.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Heavenly Thunderstorm!"

Just then, a loud shout rang out in the sky, and a large patch of blue-black thunderclouds suddenly appeared above the Sea Dragon Douluo. Countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, and the seawater released by the Sea Dragon Douluo became the best conductor, giving the Sea Dragon Douluo a tingling sensation from the electric shock.
