"Pfft~"
As soon as Tang Chen finished speaking, Qian Daoliu spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression extremely desolate.
He was now completely inferior to Tang Chen. Although he had not used his final trump card, divine power, Tang Chen had likewise not used the Ring Explosion technique of the Great Sumeru Hammer.
If they truly went all out, he would likely die even more miserably.
Tang Chen glanced at Qian Daoliu, then waved his hand toward Tang San and the others behind him. "Xiao San, let's go!"
Seeing this, Tang San and the others immediately moved, quickly following Tang Chen as they left the place.
Not long after Tang San and the others had left, Bibi Dong's figure appeared from the side. Looking at the dejected Qian Daoliu, she sneered, "I didn't expect even you to lose. It seems that after obtaining the divine trial, Tang Chen has already become the strongest peerless Douluo in the world."
In fact, Bibi Dong had arrived long ago. She had been watching from the side during the battle between Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen.
She had originally thought that Qian Daoliu, as Tang Chen's long-standing rival, even if he was not a match for Tang Chen, would not be too far behind. But what had just happened proved she had miscalculated.
"I may not be good enough, but are you?"
Qian Daoliu snorted coldly. "Bibi Dong, although your talent is indeed terrifying—reaching rank 99 Peerless Douluo at just over thirty years old, truly the first in history—
don't forget, both I and Bo Saixi can borrow divine power. Now Tang Chen has also obtained the inheritance of the God of Asura. Among all current rank 99 Peerless Douluo, your strength is the weakest."
Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Bibi Dong's expression turned somewhat ugly. After a moment, she turned away and said, "Then Tang Chen's Asura God inheritance must have been obtained in the Killing City. It seems my decision not to go there was correct. The Asura God inheritance is already gone. If I had gone, not only would I not have obtained a godly inheritance, I might have even been killed by Tang Chen with my talent."
"Tang Chen isn't that bored. With his arrogance, he probably doesn't even regard you as worth his attention."
Qian Daoliu said after regaining his composure.
Then he recalled what Tang Chen had said earlier and asked Bibi Dong, "Bibi Dong, do you know what Tang Chen meant by Spirit Fusion Skill? From what he said, it seems someone using a Spirit Fusion Skill has already surpassed me in combat power."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong also fell into thought. After a while, she shook her head and said, "I don't know either. To contend with Tang Chen, even with a Spirit Fusion Skill, the two people involved would at least need to be rank 97 or 98. I have not heard of anyone reaching that level recently."
"True."
Qian Daoliu nodded as well. Although Qianjun and Jiangmo Douluo, both peak rank 96, together could make even him expend some effort to defeat, Tang Chen's meaning clearly referred to something beyond their level.
If it was not simple resistance, but surpassing his combat power—even only his non-divine state—then it was not something ordinary Spirit Masters could achieve. At least both sides would need to be rank 97, or even rank 98!
If such experts appeared, even one would cause a huge uproar, let alone two—and even possessing a Spirit Fusion Skill?
The probability was simply too low.
However, Tang Chen had no reason to lie, so this matter was likely true.
Then Qian Daoliu spoke again, "Bibi Dong, after you return, send people to investigate whether there have been any traces of powerful battles on the continent recently, and also who has entered the Killing City in this period."
"Hmph! You don't need to tell me that. Also, address me as 'Pope'!
Although I can let go of what happened back then for Xue'er's sake, that doesn't mean you can order me around."
After speaking, Bibi Dong immediately left with a flick of her sleeve.
Tang Chen's appearance had made her feel a sense of crisis, and there were things she definitely needed to do.
"Sigh~"
Listening to Bibi Dong's departing voice, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but sigh.
What Qian Xunji had done back then was truly absurd. If Qian Xunji had not died early at the hands of Tang Hao, he even suspected that Bibi Dong, whose strength had already increased, might not have been able to hold back from killing him personally.
Fortunately, things did not reach the worst outcome. When a person dies, like a lamp extinguished, many things also come to an end after Qian Xunji's death. It could only be said that although Qian Xunji's death was a disaster for Qian Daoliu, it was not entirely a bad thing.
Qian Daoliu said in a low voice, "It seems I am truly old. Tang Chen has broken through his limits once again, and there are those two god-inheritors as well. It seems it is time for Xiao Xue to inherit the God of Angels' position, otherwise in this increasingly turbulent era, Spirit Hall may not be able to remain stable."
On the other side, Tang San closely followed behind Tang Chen and asked in confusion, "Ancestor, that was such a good opportunity just now. Why didn't you kill him directly? That would have greatly weakened Spirit Hall's power!"
Hearing this, Tang Hao also looked up at Tang Chen. He too wanted to know why his grandfather had not acted.
"Killing Qian Daoliu? You think too simply."
Tang Chen said without turning his head, "Qian Daoliu's Six-Winged Angel martial soul has one of the fastest speeds among all martial souls, not inferior even to same-level pure agility-type Spirit Masters!"
"Moreover, the Six-Winged Angel is the absolute king of the skies. The higher you fly, the greater the amplification you receive. I once fought Qian Daoliu at ten thousand meters in the air, and in an instant I fell into a disadvantage."
"If the battlefield is in the sky, even if I can win, it would not be an easy victory."
At this point, Tang Chen stopped and turned to look at Tang San and the others. "He knew I wouldn't truly kill him, so he didn't run. If I had really shown killing intent, the moment he sensed it, he would have escaped. With the speed and agility of the Six-Winged Angel martial soul, I would not be able to stop him at all."
"And if I chased him into the sky, I would be in his domain, and the one at a disadvantage would be me."
"Never underestimate the Six-Winged Angel. Their martial soul strength ranks in the top three in the entire world. The only ones comparable are the Sea God martial soul of the Sea God Island High Priestess Bo Saixi, and the Articuno I saw in the Killing City a few days ago, a separated martial soul."
"Ancestor, what about the Clear Sky Hammer? Since you were able to suppress Qian Daoliu, shouldn't it be the strongest martial soul? And that water Wuhen's Articuno—can it really be that powerful?"
Hearing this, Tang San immediately asked.
Tang Hao, behind Tang San, also had a flash of sharp light in his eyes. In his view, the Clear Sky Hammer was the strongest martial soul, which was also one of the reasons he had ignored his son's Blue Silver Grass, even though it could evolve into Blue Silver Emperor, and instead chose to fully cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer.
"The Clear Sky Hammer?"
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha~ You think the Clear Sky Hammer is the strongest martial soul?"
