Although Tang Hao's combat power skyrocketed after Ring Explosion, he was still just a Spirit Douluo at the end of the day.
Although Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo and the other three white-haired Douluo didn't know who had injured Tang Hao to such an extent, if they didn't want to affect the ordinary people in Spirit City, they could only use the Two-Level Stillness Domain to control Tang Hao first, and then kill him.
However, although Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had already unleashed their Spirit Fusion Ability at the first possible moment, it was a follow-up move, so they were naturally a step slower than Tang Hao.
The other three white-haired elders also reacted quickly, releasing their Spirit Abilities immediately in an attempt to block Tang Hao's attack.
As long as they held him back for a moment, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo would be able to use the Two-Level Stillness Domain to immobilize Tang Hao.
With Tang Hao's current strength, he definitely wouldn't be able to break through the Two-Level Stillness Domain.
However, in doing so, countless ordinary Spirit Masters would die due to that momentary collision.
However, at that critical moment, a handsome and tall figure suddenly flashed from a distance, appearing beneath Tang Hao's giant hammer.
The person who arrived was none other than Qian Daoliu!
The moment Qian Daoliu appeared, Tang Hao's pupils constricted sharply, and only one thought remained in his mind.
How was this old immortal also alerted?
This is bad!
Although he had escaped Qian Daoliu's pursuit several times, he had now fallen to the Spirit Douluo level. How could he possibly escape from Qian Daoliu's hands again?
As Tang Hao's thoughts raced, a brilliant golden light erupted from the top of Qian Daoliu's head. The light enveloped him, making him appear like a deity.
Qian Daoliu slowly raised his hand, yet his surroundings seemed to freeze, including the Clear Sky Hammer above his head, which was as massive as a mountain, and did not descend despite his slow movement.
Qian Daoliu's palm faced upwards, and the moment the golden light in his palm touched the Clear Sky Hammer, the pressure, power, and spirit power on the Clear Sky Hammer began to strangely dissipate.
This was the Seraphim Spirit's power of dissolution.
Tang Hao couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva at this sight.
What terrifying pressure!
He looked at Qian Daoliu in front of him, a cold sweat already breaking out on his back.
Back then, after he "killed" Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu had pursued him several times, but only managed to heavily injure him.
The pressure Qian Daoliu had given him back then was nowhere near as terrifying as it was now.
Had his strength advanced further in these years?
But wasn't he already a ninety-ninth-level, why could his strength still advance further?
Seeing that Qian Daoliu had effortlessly blocked his attack, which involved exploding a 100,000-year spirit ring, Tang Hao's heart was already in turmoil.
He knew he was doomed today!
Qian Daoliu blocked Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer with one hand, making it seem as if it was suspended in mid-air, unable to move an inch.
Qian Daoliu's expression remained unperturbed, showing neither joy nor anger.
As for Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo and the other three white-haired Douluo, they were all pleasantly surprised.
Excellent, the High Priest has personally made his move.
One must know that the High Priests of the Hall of Enshrinement had barely made a move in all these years due to their disagreement with the Supreme Pontiff.
As they rejoiced, Qian Daoliu looked at Tang Hao and suddenly spoke, "Tang Chen pushed the Clear Sky Hammer to a position that didn't belong to it, causing the Clear Sky Sect to produce too many fools like you over the years, who arrogantly believe that the Clear Sky Hammer can rival my Spirit Hall's Seraphim Spirit."
"Out of respect for Tang Chen, I spared your life several times, but today you actually intend to make a move in Spirit City. How can I tolerate you?"
Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen could be said to be both enemies and friends, respecting each other.
It was precisely for this reason that even though Qian Xunji was indirectly killed by Tang Hao, he still spared Tang Hao's life back then.
But today, he would definitely kill Tang Hao!
In Qian Daoliu's eyes, even if Tang Hao made a move against the Douluo Hall, he would at most heavily injure him and drive him away.
Because Qian Daoliu knew that Tang Hao couldn't destroy the Douluo Hall under his nose. For the sake of an old friend, a little leniency was acceptable.
But Tang Hao making a move in the densely populated Spirit City clearly showed no regard for the lives of the thousands of ordinary people here.
What kind of evil Spirit Master behavior was this?
However, Tang Hao's first reaction upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words was...
"Hmph, nonsense, Grandpa once said that on land, you were nothing more than his defeated opponent. What right do you have to say that my Clear Sky Hammer is inferior to your Seraphim Spirit?"
Qian Daoliu scoffed at the remark, not taking Tang Hao's words to heart.
He was nothing more than an ignorant, arrogant clown.
He only knew that he was not Tang Chen's match on land, but how could Tang Chen be his match in the air?
Moreover, if it weren't for his lifelong arrogance, insisting on stubbornly taking Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer head-on, even on land, Tang Chen might not have been his match.
Thinking of his long-lost old friend, Qian Daoliu sighed softly, and then the killing intent in his eyes gradually intensified.
"Today, I shall, for Tang Chen…"
"Cleanse the sect!"
Each word was enunciated, and as his voice fell, a brilliant light suddenly burst forth from Qian Daoliu's body, and his figure vanished from his original spot.
When he reappeared, he was already standing behind Tang Hao.
Although he was already one hundred and forty to fifty years old, his physique was even taller and more imposing than Tang Hao's.
He struck out with a palm, landing heavily on Tang Hao's skull.
In an instant, golden light erupted, and Tang Hao's pupils suddenly lost their final color.
He died incredibly peacefully!
At this moment, Qian Daoliu truly displayed the real strength of his ninety-ninth level Limit Douluo.
Perhaps, at the last moment before Tang Hao lost consciousness, he finally realized.
It turned out that Qian Daoliu had always held back against him!
What a joke, Qian Daoliu could fight Tang Chen, who also possessed the Clear Sky Hammer and also mastered the Ring Explosion technique, to a draw, yet he couldn't kill Tang Hao, who had just broken through to the ninetieth level.
Most importantly, Tang Hao actually believed it, truly thinking that Qian Daoliu couldn't kill him because of his own powerful strength.
On the other side, Tang San, who witnessed this scene firsthand, felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
His father…
Was dead!
In an instant, Tang San's eyes nearly burst, turning crimson, gasping for breath like an ox, his face like a malevolent Asura, filled with murderous intent.
If there was anyone he cared about most in this World, it was undoubtedly his father.
Although Tang Hao as a father had been irresponsible towards him since childhood, Tang San had lacked paternal love in his previous life, so he naturally held him in high regard.
"Spirit Hall…"
Tang San gnashed his teeth, muttering the three words "Spirit Hall," his gaze venomous.
"You forced my mother to her death, and now you've killed my father. Your demise is at hand."
A crimson light flashed in Tang San's eyes.
For an evil organization like Spirit Hall, even if he used the Spirit Masters within it for his cultivation, it would still count as eliminating harm for the people.
Thinking of this, a fierce look flashed across Tang San's face, and then he carefully blended into the crowd.
