Chapter 155 The End

Su Cheng ignored A Yin's question.

He glanced at Tang Hao in the sky.

Well, at least the objective has been achieved. In any case, the opponent's suppressive force field has been broken, and Tang Hao's next target will inevitably be himself.

That's enough.

A 100,000-year soul ring is good, but there's no need to risk everything for it. At worst, we can go find Qian Daoliu and take Xiaoxue to intercept Bibi Dong's.

That old man should at least take action for his granddaughter's schizophrenia.

but……

His gaze shifted to Ah Yin.

This situation is a bit tricky.

Fortunately, she chose to expose herself in advance in order to save Xiao Wu.

Otherwise, if he were to suddenly do something at a critical moment, his life might be in danger.

I need to be more careful in the future; unless absolutely necessary, I really shouldn't keep such a time bomb around me.

As for those secrets...

Su Cheng was thinking quickly in his mind.

The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire...

No problem. The place is empty now, except for some immature common rare treasures. The immortal herbs have already been taken away, so it's fine to give the rest to Tang Hao and the others.

My relationship with Zhu Zhuqing...

The other party was unaware that she was given a chance to experience life at the time, and since she missed the opportunity, it wouldn't be seen as a weakness.

A thousand feet of snow...

It doesn't matter if she finds out, since she's going to join the Spirit Hall soon anyway.

The remaining issue is one's own identity.

While this may seem serious, the impact on an adult's thinking and memory is actually limited.

Even if you spread it around, people close to you won't care; it's just that it's a bit troublesome to explain.

In comparison, Tang San is the one they should be struggling with.

After Ah Yin goes back, the situation may not necessarily develop in a good way.

Fortunately, the existence of the emulator was not detected.

Ah Yin didn't know the specific details of the Nirvana Sutra cultivation method, the secret technique of silver needle acupuncture, the preparation of medicines, or even the method of condensing soul rings on her own, and that didn't bother her.

"But since she was already out of control, why didn't she try to trick me into revealing anything? That's strange."

A flicker of doubt crossed his mind, but he quickly dismissed it; now was not the time to dwell on it.

"Unfortunately, the next time we meet, it will probably be a matter of life and death..."

Su Cheng sighed inwardly.

Actually, he did have feelings for Ah Yin; otherwise, given his personality, he would never have talked so much nonsense with others.

The fact that the other party has been helping him a great deal in recent times is only one part of the reason.

More importantly, he greatly admired the courage that Ah Yin possessed.

However, that's all in the past.

The dazzling sunlight streamed down from the sky, illuminating the various expressions of shock and anger on the faces of the many powerful figures below.

The once majestic Papal Hill is now in chaos.

However, this may have added a touch of legend to this sacred place of the Soul Master world.

Several titled Douluo clashed with each other, among them two rare blood-red 100,000-year soul rings shining brightly.

Unfortunately, most of the audience members were unconscious at the time and missed witnessing this grand occasion.

Ah Yin did not receive a reply from Su Cheng.

She was met only with a cold gaze, which made her slightly startled.

Su Cheng immediately withdrew without lingering in the fight.

The spare strength reserved earlier proved invaluable at this moment.

With a flick of the sword, one can quickly change tactics and retreat.

The next instant, an overwhelming killing intent swept over them.

Tang Hao's Killing God Domain!

In this field, one can greatly suppress the will of an opponent; those with weak wills may even be rendered immobile on the spot.

But this murderous aura had no effect on Su Cheng.

What he fears least is this kind of pressure. Unless it's a divine pressure, his sword intent level is enough to make him face any similar skill.

Is the killing intent in the God of Slaughter's Domain a sublimation of courage?

joke.

What kind of murderous intent is this, derived from slaughter? It doesn't even deserve to be compared to courage.

Seeing Su Cheng's movements were fluid and effortless, as if he were not affected by the Killing God Domain at all, and he disappeared in an instant without any pause in his movements.

Tang Hao was also taken aback for a moment.

Then, a surge of anger welled up inside him, and he was on the verge of losing his mind. Without hesitation, he chose to detonate the ring.

The moment he saw Ah Yin appear, he understood.

The disappearance of the Blue Silver Emperor seedling and the theft of the 100,000-year-old soul bone are inevitably related to Su Cheng.

Moreover, regardless of how the other party resurrected Ah Yin, he is now on their death list.

The next moment, his pitch-black fifth and sixth spirit rings shattered silently beneath his feet.

Haotian Sect's ultimate technique, the Great Sumeru Hammer, ultimate skill: Ring Explosion!

This is also the most domineering ultimate skill among the Great Sumeru Hammer techniques.

Each spirit ring can undergo a ring explosion once. After the explosion, the power of the spirit ring will be fully unleashed, instantly becoming the user's own power and merging into the attack, generating attack power beyond the limit. The higher the quality of the spirit ring at the time of the explosion, the greater the effect.

However, the cost of exploding spirit rings is enormous. After all of a user's spirit rings have undergone this process, the user will be weakened. Furthermore, each time the Great Sumeru Hammer is used to explode a spirit ring, all of the user's spirit rings will disappear within three days, leaving only spirit power. After using the explosion technique once, there must be a minimum interval of thirty-six days before it can be used again, otherwise there is a risk that the spirit rings will be truly destroyed.

But Tang Hao did not hesitate at all, and at the same time destroyed two ten-thousand-year soul rings.

As the spirit ring beneath his feet shattered, the enormous Clear Sky Hammer reappeared.

Moreover, the power of the hammer swinging against the wind this time far surpasses that of the previous ones.

"boom--"

The giant hammer pierced through the air in an instant, its speed so great that it created a brief sonic boom.

"roar--"

As the tiger roared, the soul rings beneath Zhu Zhuqing's feet appeared.

Then, a pair of wind god wings spread out on its back and flew towards Su Cheng.

With the aid of the hurricane wings, she was now moving at an extremely fast speed.

But it was too late.

She was, after all, only a Soul King.

Just as despair was beginning to show in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

A massive, emerald-green snake-like shadow appeared in mid-air, its body enveloped in a thick, dark protective shield, as it met the enormous hammerhead that resembled a small mountain.

Immediately following, a soaring sword beam followed closely behind, surrounded by a large amount of sword energy like a protective shield, and also crashed towards the Haotian Hammer.

Dugu Bo and Chen Xin made their move.

Su Cheng was touched when he saw Zhu Zhuqing's reaction out of the corner of his eye.

The other party was unaware of his backup plan, nor did they understand the attitudes of Dugu Bo and Chen Xin.

Under these circumstances, the fact that he dared to step forward and offer assistance while provoking a peak Douluo was truly beyond his expectations.

Since Zhu Zhuqing remembers everything in the simulated world, it's impossible that she doesn't know how powerful Tang Hao is now.

Even so, she still chose to do it.

Su Cheng himself never expected to receive such favor.

With a change of heart, he knew he wouldn't just sit idly by and wait to die. So he changed his sword formation, and a purely defensive sword aura instantly took shape.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, the massive Haotian Hammer was knocked back, and Su Cheng, Dugu Bo, and Chen Xin were all sent flying.

With Tang Hao's foundation, coupled with the full-force attack of the Clear Sky Hammer after detonating two spirit rings, it was indeed too powerful.

Or rather, Tang Chen's creation of the Clear Sky Technique did indeed elevate the Clear Sky Hammer, a top-tier martial soul, to a new level.

Fortunately, Dugu Bo and Chen Xin were both formidable warriors, peak Douluo with cultivation levels above level 95. Although their auras fluctuated after the attack, they were not injured.

However, Su Cheng, whose level was already far below Tang Hao's and whose soul power was already depleted, was severely injured.

However, for him, as long as the injury is not fatal, it is not a concern and he will recover quickly.

After his journey through the Blue Silver Grass Forest, his Five Elements were perfected, and his life force was incredibly powerful.

At this moment, Su Cheng suddenly looked surprised.

He clearly felt that the life seed within his body, which was formed from the right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor and contained a trace of immortal essence, was showing unusual fluctuations.

It seems that this severe physical injury caused it to be stimulated by external factors, resulting in a further surge of instinctive reactions.

With a thought, Su Cheng did not choose to immediately use the Five Elements Domain to heal his injuries. Instead, he suppressed the self-healing ability brought by his powerful life force, and his aura became increasingly weak.

"Cheng'er?" Chen Xin looked over with a sharp glint in his eyes.

"Kid, are you alright?" Dugu Bo was also shocked.

"It's nothing, I just had some insights. Teacher, senior, don't worry."

After sending telepathic messages to the two, Su Cheng then sent a separate message to Dugu Bo using mental power: "Senior, if Xiaoxue's attack fails later, please be sure to block another attack for me. I will reward you handsomely afterwards!"

This was a rare opportunity, and he wanted to take a few more moments to reflect on it.

If one can grasp the true meaning of this, even if one faces Tang Hao again afterward, there will be no need to worry about the danger to one's life.

"No need for thanks, just don't mess things up!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo gritted his teeth inwardly; this kid was truly audacious.

Seeing that the attack had not been completely effective, Tang Hao roared and immediately prepared to strike again.

However, at that moment, another strange change occurred behind them.

Among the Shrek Academy team members gathered around Tang San and Xiao Wu, one of them suddenly experienced a rapid surge in aura, quickly breaking through to the Soul Emperor level, with his soul power fluctuations approaching those of a Soul Saint.

It is indeed Jiangzhu!

A humanoid figure of light appeared behind her, its features obscured, with three pairs of illusory wings fluttering high in the distance.

At the same time, her clothes tore open on her back, and two pairs of real black wings emerged and unfolded.

Martial Spirit Possession!

The spirit rings shone brightly, a technique to restore vital energy after severing meridians!

Immediately, the longsword materialized in his hand, and he thrust it straight forward.

"No--"

Tang San's painful roars echoed across the huge plaza.

Tang Hao turned around in shock.

A jet-black longsword engulfed in flames had already pierced through Xiao Wu's body.

The next moment, her life was completely extinguished.

The entire square fell silent.

Everyone was stunned.

Only Tang San's desperate wails echoed through the sky.

At this moment, Bibi Dong and the others had already neutralized Tang Hao's previous attack.

Several pairs of eyes simultaneously turned to the figure in the square who was carrying Xiao Wu and retreating rapidly.

The story of what happened here is a long one.

In reality, it was nothing more than two blows from Tang Hao.

Bibi Dong immediately realized what was going on.

He glanced at Xiao Wu's body, where spirit rings were gradually emerging, then at Qian Renxue, who had previously disguised herself as a member of the Shrek Academy team, and then at Su Cheng, whose aura was weak and who was severely injured.

Suddenly, I understood the reason for everything.

"Well done, Qian Renxue! Well done, Su Cheng! So that's how it is!"

Tang Hao was also stunned at this moment.

He never expected that there was such a person hidden among those students.

Just moments before, he hadn't noticed the other person's presence at all, treating him as just an ordinary Soul Master student, posing no threat whatsoever.

But when she revealed her fangs at the last moment, it was astonishing to realize that she was the one who ultimately profited!

Tang Hao's sallow face had turned bright red, and the veins on his forehead were bulging, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.

At that moment, an impulse arose in his heart to desperately destroy everything.

However, amidst his burning anger, a trace of hesitation remained.

Tang Hao gripped the hammer handle tightly, assuming a ready-to-go stance, and looked at the crowd in front of him.

The current situation is very clear.

Su Cheng launched a sudden attack, but failed to achieve anything and gained no benefit. At this time, he was also protected by two peak Douluo.

However, he looked critically injured and was probably seriously wounded.

Moreover, the way he attacked before was definitely not something a Soul King could do; it must have been some kind of stimulation method to break through potential. He probably doesn't have much time left to live.

There's no need to argue with him too much for now.

The Spirit Hall was the ultimate beneficiary.

Although Pope Bibi Dong failed to capture Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu was successfully killed by the Spirit Hall.

Regardless of whether they can absorb the spirit ring, the 100,000-year spirit bone is definitely theirs.

But he has no confidence whatsoever against this opponent.

Every extra moment spent in this place increases the risk.

Of course, he still has the potential to continue breaking rings.

But Bibi Dong over there is no less impressive.

Previously, they had to launch a surprise attack on the Papal Palace to restrain it.

If it were a direct, face-to-face confrontation, he would definitely not be a match for so many people.

If they linger too long, they might even end up being stuck here along with Tang San and his son.

Besides, there's also Gintoki...

Tang San gradually calmed down.

No matter how sad or angry you are now, it's all in vain.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the group of figures in front of the Papal Palace, memorizing the face of each of them.

These people will all pay for their crimes in blood in the future!

His gaze softened slightly when it passed over Zhu Zhuqing.

Tang San was unaware of Zhu Zhuqing's true purpose in attacking him, but he did see her lunge at Su Cheng. He assumed she was acting out of hatred and was even somewhat moved.

Zhu Zhuqing ignored Tang San's gaze. She frowned and lowered her head, carefully considering what had happened that day.

In the end, the one who benefited was actually Qian Renxue.

Was this planned in advance, or was Su Cheng also tricked?

As the atmosphere grew quieter, Tang Hao's anger gradually subsided. Looking at the opposing team's lineup, he suddenly felt the urge to retreat.

He turned his gaze and fixed it on the tall, slender figure with blue hair.

Grudges can be left for later, but she...

"Gin!"

Tang Hao shouted loudly.

Ah Yin didn't look at him, remaining frozen in place without making a move.

She only had a vague understanding of Su Cheng's entire plan, and only knew that Su Cheng seemed to have been coveting Xiao Wu's 100,000-year soul ring.

Despite promising not to kill Xiao Wu, Su Cheng still made a move.

Perhaps it was because of Xiao Wu's identity, or perhaps for other reasons.

For some reason, she impulsively appeared and stopped Su Cheng's offensive.

But then things started to develop in a direction she couldn't understand at all.

First, Su Cheng withdrew without hesitation, his terrifying sword strike appearing as if it were a feint.

He then took a hit from Tang Hao with the protection of two Title Douluos, and his life was in danger.

Immediately afterwards, another person suddenly attacked and successfully killed Xiao Wu.

A series of unexpected events occurred in the blink of an eye.

She then realized what was happening.

So that's what Su Cheng meant back then...

He did not kill Xiao Wu himself.

But this is just a word game.

He concealed the existence of another person.

Does concealing information constitute deception?

If it were Zhu Zhuqing, she would definitely say without hesitation and decisively: Yes!

But Ah Yin's mind is much simpler.

Moreover—

"I've kept this from him for so long, so what does this mean...?"

Looking at Su Cheng's almost lifeless body in the distance, Ah Yin's mind went blank.

They didn't even notice Tang Hao's shouts.

She is now completely disconnected from the Five Elements realm and can no longer sense the other party's specific state.

However, she was extremely perceptive of life force and was quite certain that the other party currently only had a faint ember of life within him.

She couldn't understand how Su Cheng, with his strong vitality, could be injured so badly by a single blow.

However, if he is still the central figure in the Five Elements domain, he will definitely be able to help him resolve and withstand this attack.

"..."

Ah Yin pursed her lips, her gaze gradually calming down.

"No, he became like this because of me, I have to save him."

"...Gin!"

It was only then that she noticed the voice coming from Tang Hao not far away.

"What?" Ah Yin was slightly taken aback.

"Let's hurry up and get out of here first!"

At this moment, Tang San had already stood not far behind Tang Hao, his dim eyes also looking at Ah Yin.

Tang Hao looked somewhat anxious, not understanding what was wrong with her.

A sense of fear crept into her heart; the other person had become somewhat different from the one she remembered.

"Walk?"

Ah Yin was stunned again, seemingly not quite understanding what the other person meant.

"Come leave with us! Delay will only make things worse!"

Tang Hao resisted Bibi Dong's renewed offensive, but dared not fight with all his might.

At this moment, the other elders of the Spirit Hall were still holding the line not far away, and had no intention of joining the attack.

It seems that with Xiao Wu's death, they are no longer in such a hurry.

However, Tang Hao dared not relax in the slightest and was already prepared to continue exploding the rings.

However, Ah Yin remained silent, which made him very uneasy.

Recalling the scene where the other party emerged from Su Cheng's body, she exclaimed in shock and anger, "Ah Yin, what happened? Are you being controlled by that Su Cheng?!"

Hearing this name, Ah Yin snapped out of her daze.

The distracting thoughts in my mind instantly cleared away.

He turned and ran in another direction.

Tang Hao was startled by her actions.

His defensive movements were momentarily slowed, and he was severely injured by Bibi Dong's attack, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He didn't care at all and shouted, "Look at him! He's our son! Aren't you coming to reunite with us?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ah Yin paused in her steps.

"Tang Hao, you should leave. Everything I did in the past was of my own free will; you don't need to wallow in regret. He's not my son."

Tang Hao left with Tang San.

He had to leave.

At this time, the Spirit Hall side was in good condition, while he himself had suffered severe injuries and his ability to continue fighting had also declined significantly after the ring explosion.

In addition, Tang San's safety and mental state are also issues he needs to consider.

As for revenge and Ah Yin's matter, those can only be left for another day.

At least now he knows that Ah Yin is still alive, which is already excellent news for him.

In front of the Spirit Hall plaza, as Tang Hao left, the others quickly began to clean up the mess and started treating the students and Spirit Hall guards who had been knocked unconscious by the aftershocks of the battle between the Title Douluo.

Ignoring everyone else, Ah Yin quickly came to Su Cheng's side.

He then thought of reintegrating into the other party's Five Elements domain to adjust the domain's operation and help Su Cheng recover.

However, she was stunned the next moment.

The soul connection between the Longevity Sword and her had been completely severed.

Even though the other party was right next to her, she couldn't sense that familiar martial spirit aura at all.

That's right.

The moment the incident occurred, Su Cheng swiftly severed all contact between the two.

Such potential uncertainties certainly cannot be allowed to persist.

In fact, even at the very beginning, if it weren't for an unexpected change that helped him control Ah Yin's soul, he wouldn't have been able to let her reside in his martial soul forever.

He would only use this as a bridge for a short period of time, occasionally taking her out to see things, as a reward for his research.

Everyone stared at Ah Yin's dazed figure with somewhat strange expressions.

However, the place was in chaos and few people had time to pay attention to her. After glancing at her, they stopped noticing her.

Only those few titled Douluo exchanged glances, secretly wondering what kind of existence the other was, as their aura was far too strange.

"This person..."

Bibi Dong silently scrutinized A Yin.

She had a vague impression of him; wasn't this the person who caused Qian Xunji to be severely injured by Tang Hao back then?

That Blue Silver Emperor, which is at the level of 100,000 years old.

But the person in front of me is clearly not a transformed soul beast, even if it can hide its true form when it is mature.

The opponent's aura was neither human nor human; no soul beast would look like this at any stage of its transformation.

And if I remember correctly, she initially appeared from Su Cheng, and her spirit rings and spirit bones should all be on Tang Hao.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Su Cheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"What kind of weird and wonderful things has this guy come up with...?"

"what?"

Just then, several Title Douluos near Su Cheng were simultaneously taken aback.

The faint life force within him suddenly began to increase dramatically.

At the same time, his cultivation level was also rapidly rising, and he soon reached level fifty-eight, only one step away from the peak of Soul King.

PS1: The foreshadowing of Ah Yin breaking free from control was extensive. Initially, she was controlled in her soul form, and the protagonist himself didn't understand why. This was hinted at in every scene after she left the Blue Silver Grass Forest, but it had to be written very subtly, otherwise the protagonist wouldn't notice the inconsistency.

PS2: Why Qian Renxue needs this spirit ring has already been clearly explained in the previous text, so if you skipped ahead, disregard what I said. But I think that since you're skipping the plot, it's probably just to see some character interactions, so there's really no need to overthink the plot...

PS3, I simply don't have time to manage the group. I consulted some experienced authors, and the answer I got was that struggling authors don't deserve to create groups (they didn't create any themselves), so I'm disbanding it for now. There will be an extra chapter at the end of this volume, we'll see how things go then.
