Dugu Bo's eyes darkened as he watched Tang Hao approach him, step by step, holding the Clear Sky Hammer. Showing no fear, the Snake Douluo stomped his foot, shaking the ground and kicking up dust, instantly completing his Spirit Possession.
Almost immediately, the veins on his body bulged, and a toxic, emerald-green mist emanated from him, spreading a strong stench through the night air. Behind him, a gigantic, emerald-green venomous snake with crimson eyes materialized.
"A mere Rank 92 Titled Douluo, yet you dare to be insolent in front of me!" Dugu Bo spat.
Tang Hao sneered with disdain, replying, "Back then, even the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall died from severe injuries under my hammer." His eyes narrowed, and his figure suddenly exploded forward. He became a black blur, rushing straight at Dugu Bo.
The next second, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand was raised high and brought down with a heavy Aura. The very air seemed to solidify at that moment.
Watching this, Dugu Bo's eyes flashed green. He didn't dare to meet the attack head-on. Frowning, he reached out, grabbed Tang Chen beside him, and took a light step, shifting his figure horizontally to instantly flee his original position.
"Boom—!"
The Clear Sky Hammer slammed squarely into the ground, unleashing a deafening roar. The hard bluestone pavement was instantly smashed into a pit over three meters deep, with cracks spreading out like a spiderweb. Broken stones flew, and dust shot into the sky, shaking the surrounding walls.
The Poisonous Clash
At the same time, as Dugu Bo moved through the air, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and his purple third Spirit Ring instantly lit up.
"Third Spirit Ability, Bi Lin Bewitching Formation!"
The next second, an emerald-green poisonous mist erupted from his body, spreading outwards rapidly like a toxic tide. In the blink of an eye, the entire street was enveloped by the dense mist, obscuring even the moonlight. Tang Hao's figure was swallowed by the poison, and he could no longer see anything in front of him.
"A poisonous formation that can make people lose their sight?" he muttered, deeply frowning. He raised the Clear Sky Hammer in front of him, his body slowly turning. He constantly listened for subtle movements in the air, trying to pinpoint Dugu Bo's exact location.
Suddenly, a faint sound came from behind him. Turning sharply, Tang Hao's pupils slightly contracted. He saw a huge, emerald-green venomous snake with its maw wide open, lunging at him with a chilling, poisonous Qi.
"Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method!"
With an icy look in his eyes, Tang Hao suddenly raised the Clear Sky Hammer and let out a furious roar. The next second, hammer shadows flew through the poisonous mist, and continuous roars echoed. Each strike of the Clear Sky Hammer was as heavy as a mountain falling to the earth, fiercely slamming the emerald-green great snake.
Under the continuous bombardment of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method, the Jade Phosphor Serpent was suppressed and repeatedly forced to retreat. Dugu Bo, within his Spirit Avatar, felt a numb sensation spread throughout his body, which began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Not good! The power of this hammer seems to be constantly stacking. If this keeps up, my Spirit Avatar will eventually be smashed to pieces!" His heart tightened. Dugu Bo's face was grim.
The next second, an eerie green light suddenly lit up on his forehead. Immediately, a strange Aura rapidly spread. Dugu Bo's head Spirit Bone skill, Medusa's Gaze, instantly activated! Two pale white rays of light shot out from the Jade Phosphor Serpent's eyes and flew like sharp arrows straight toward Tang Hao's body.
A Clash of Titans
Watching the pale white light shooting toward him, Tang Hao's face suddenly darkened, and he was secretly startled. He quickly shifted his feet, instantly retreating backward.
"Clear Sky Body Protection!" he shouted deep in his chest, and his spirit power fully erupted.
Immediately, countless phantom Clear Sky Hammers rapidly condensed in front of Tang Hao. In the blink of an eye, they formed a thick, giant shield, firmly protecting him. The next second, the pale white light slammed onto the shield. The foremost phantom Clear Sky Hammers were petrified one by one, turning to ashen gray. But even so, those hammer phantoms continued rotating at high speed, forcibly blocking the subsequent pale white light.
"The Clear Sky Hammer can even be used like this? As expected of the number one Tool Spirit in the world!" Dugu Bo's pupils slightly contracted, astonished as he watched this scene through the poisonous mist.
However, just as he was momentarily stunned, Tang Hao's figure had already soared into the air. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand was raised above his head, once again carrying a monstrous Aura, and slammed down fiercely.
Boom!
Seeing this, Dugu Bo's mind was shaken. He had no time to dodge. He raised his palm forward and hastily activated his fifth Spirit Ability. A huge emerald-green snake scale shield instantly appeared in front of him.
The next moment, the Clear Sky Hammer descended with world-destroying power. With a crack, the shield lasted for only an instant before shattering with a bang.
"Pfft—"
A fierce force swept over. Dugu Bo grunted, a mouthful of fresh blood spraying from his mouth. He was sent flying backward, staggering back over ten meters before he barely regained his balance.
"What? Weren't you having a great time bullying that child just now?" Tang Hao stood in place, the Clear Sky Hammer held horizontally in front of him, his gaze icy. A cold sneer curled at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Dugu Bo, whom he had sent flying with a single hammer strike. "Since that's the case, then next, let me also bully you."
As he finished speaking, he suddenly stomped his foot, and the ground instantly cracked. He transformed into an afterimage, continuously swinging the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, stirring up gusts of Qi waves, and once again smashed toward Dugu Bo.
"Damn it! My spirit power Rank is completely suppressed! I'm no match for this scoundrel." Seeing this situation, Dugu Bo's face instantly darkened.
He thought, "With Tang Hao's strength, the snake venom carried by my first few Spirit Abilities probably won't have any effect. To cause him harm, I would have to use my Ninth Soul Skill. But my Ninth Soul Skill is too overbearing; once released, the entire Heaven Dou City might turn into ruins!"
Thinking of this, he suddenly looked back behind him and cursed angrily through gritted teeth: "Kid! Where did that red-clothed big man who was with you go?!"
A Desperate Plan
However, just as Dugu Bo was in a panic, a low and calm voice suddenly sounded in his ear. Tang Chen, hidden in the poisonous mist, transmitted his voice through spirit power:
"Old Poison, use your Eighth Soul Skill, combined with your head bone skill, Medusa's Gaze, to trap him for a while. I have a way to stimulate the Death Spider Emperor's highly toxic venom within him!"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's heart shook, and he suddenly looked up, slightly disbelieving. With his strength, he had fought Tang Hao for so long without causing the Death Spider Emperor's highly toxic venom within him to spread.
Clearly, the highly toxic venom was suppressed by the latter through his powerful spirit power. With Tang Chen's current Rank 50-plus strength, how could he possibly stimulate the highly toxic venom within him?
Forget it, nothing to lose by trying!
Although there was a hint of doubt in his heart, Dugu Bo didn't hesitate for a moment. Since Tang Chen had already spoken, he gritted his teeth, suddenly raised his hand, and the dark, profound eighth Spirit Ring on his body instantly lit up. Dense spirit power surged and churned around him.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Time Freeze!"
The next second, an emerald-green bead suddenly appeared in Dugu Bo's palm. As he pushed his palm forward, this emerald-green bead immediately burst forth with a dazzling green light, then rapidly spread outwards. The surrounding space seemed to be completely sealed, the air solidified, and time itself seemed to stop at this moment.
At the same time, the Jade Phosphor Serpent's eyes suddenly flashed, and then another pale white ray of light burst forth, shooting directly toward Tang Hao's body.
"Hahahahaha! A mere Eighth Soul Skill, and you think you can trap me? Dream on!"
Facing Dugu Bo's Eighth Soul Skill and head Spirit Bone skill, Tang Hao not only showed no fear but instead let out an arrogant laugh toward the sky.
"Poison Douluo, take this, a Sky-Shattering Strike!" he roared. "Today, I will let you know that some people aren't to be provoked!"
Immediately after, his internal spirit power suddenly boiled, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand flared with black light, and he gripped the giant hammer with both hands. He suddenly leaped up, once again smashing down furiously toward Dugu Bo.
As Tang Hao's furious roar fell, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, carrying a terrifying, destructive force, descended from the sky like a black meteor falling.
