Chapter 605 The Path to Death
"Haotian's Ultimate Technique, Chaotic Cloak!"
In his berserk state, Tang San was extremely fast, and he arrived in front of Hu Yanli in just a few leaps.
The small Clear Sky Hammer was obviously extremely heavy, but in Tang San's left hand it seemed as light as a feather. As it grew larger in the wind, he swung it up and smashed it hard towards Hu Yanli's forehead.
Seeing Tang San use the Clear Sky Hammer, Hu Yanli was not surprised, as if he had expected it.
This illustrates the importance of intelligence.
Fortunately, their Elephant Armor Sect was a vassal of the Spirit Hall, and they had already obtained detailed information about Tang San from the Heaven Dou Spirit Hall. They knew that his spirit was twin, one of which was the Clear Sky Hammer, the inherited spirit of the Clear Sky Sect.
The massive hammerhead of the Haotian Hammer came straight at him, but Hu Yanli remained calm. He instantly raised his two arms, which were covered with an ice-crystal protective layer, and crossed them in front of his face.
boom--
With a deafening roar, the Haotian Hammer swung down fiercely. Hu Yanli felt his body sink, and a surge of immense force came over him. His feet were once again plunged into the ground, all the way up to his ankles.
This demonstrates the immense power of the Haotian Hammer.
Is this the Clear Sky Hammer? No wonder it's hailed as the "Number One Weapon Soul in Douluo Continent." It's truly not to be underestimated.
Hu Yanli's expression changed slightly, somewhat surprised that Tang San's attack power was so great.
However, he simply attributed the powerful force to the special nature of the Clear Sky Hammer, following the habitual thinking of a Soul Master, and did not believe that Tang San himself was particularly powerful, so he did not feel any fear.
So what if it's the Clear Sky Hammer? Their Elephant Armor Sect's ancestral martial soul, the Diamond Mammoth, is no joke. In terms of defensive power, it's one of the best in the entire Douluo Continent. They won't be afraid of the Clear Sky Hammer's attack.
In fact, while the Clear Sky Hammer is powerful, its effectiveness depends on who wields it. If it were wielded by someone like Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao or Howling Sky Douluo Tang Xiao, it would certainly have the power to destroy mountains and rocks. However, Tang San's ability to wield it remains to be seen.
This is the source of Hu Yanli's confidence; he doesn't believe Tang San can break through his defenses when they are at the same level.
According to normal logical reasoning and analysis, Hu Yanli's idea was correct. However, what he did not know was that Tang San was not a native of Douluo Continent, but a visitor from another world.
Tang San's complete memories allowed him to inherit all the abilities from his previous life in the Tang Sect. His soul power, combined with the internal force of the Xuan Tian Gong, was also extraordinary. He was no longer a soul master in the traditional sense.
In addition, after more than half a year of special training from Tang Hao, Tang San has mastered the essence of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
He even combined the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Crane Control and Dragon Capture techniques, gaining new insights, and his Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique was far superior to that of ordinary Haotian Sect disciples.
Once he entered a berserk state, he became even more like a madman. If one blow failed, he would immediately strike again, and each blow was stronger than the last, with the force of each blow increasing exponentially.
Boom boom boom—
Amidst a series of deafening roars, Tang San had already unleashed thirty-six hammer blows in the blink of an eye.
Hu Yanli also tried his best to resist Tang San's thirty-six attacks with his round hammer. Although his defense was not broken, his lower body was completely trapped in the Soul Fighting Arena.
Hu Yanli is a defensive-type Soul Master with exceptional endurance, but he is somewhat unhappy about being constantly beaten.
Especially the relentless hammer blows from Tang San, the force of which wasn't even cumulative, raised a warning sign in his mind.
Hu Yanli realized that he could no longer let Tang San continue swinging his hammer; he had to launch a counterattack and disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
After all, his fighting style is mainly based on defense and counterattack. Defense is the means, and counterattack is the goal. If he doesn't counterattack, then what kind of defense and counterattack is he?
With a thought, Hu Yanli parried Tang San's hammer blow again. Taking advantage of the brief gap in the opponent's charging up, he withdrew his crossed arms to block, clenched his fan-like right hand into a fist the size of a sandbag, and slammed it towards Tang San's chest.
Unfortunately, the counter-punch missed its mark, failing to even touch Tang San's body, let alone injure him.
Tang San spun and leaped, gathering strength to swing his hammer, while his feet occasionally made mysterious footwork. In a swift movement, he easily dodged Hu Yanli's punches.
He even changed the angle, wielding the Haotian Hammer, and smashed it towards Huyan Li's forehead again.
The Haotian Hammer swung wildly, creating a whooshing sound. Hu Yanli's heart skipped a beat, and he had no choice but to abandon his counterattack and reorganize his defense.
Next, whenever Hu Yanli tried to counterattack, Tang San would repeat his old trick, using the unpredictable Ghost Shadow Stalking technique to evade, while simultaneously unleashing a flurry of punches around Hu Yanli's body.
This is Hu Yanli's predicament.
Despite his massive size and strength, he was unable to attack his opponent's body. His weight limited his agility, and his speed couldn't keep up with his opponent's, leaving him no choice but to take a beating.
In just a short while, Tang San's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique had already stacked up to forty-nine strikes, with its attack power increasing stronger and stronger.
Huyanli is finding it increasingly difficult to defend himself.
When the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique reached sixty-four strikes, the ice protective layer provided by Hu Yanli's fourth soul skill on his arm finally cracked again, and then shattered like glass with Tang San's next hammer blow.
Seeing this, Tang San's eyes burned even brighter with red light. He circulated his Xuan Tian Gong at full speed through all his meridians, desperately squeezing out the little soul power he had left and pouring it into the Haotian Hammer in his left hand, which then spun wildly.
This time, he was determined to break through Huyan Li's defenses and kill him to avenge Xiao Wu.
With the sixty-fifth strike, the icy protective layer on Hu Yanli's arm shattered violently.
With the sixty-sixth strike, Hu Yanli's defensive arms were breached, leaving his defenses wide open.
The sixty-seventh blow struck Hu Yanli's chest. The ice shield granted by his fourth soul skill protected him from the attack, but like the ice shield on his arm, it shattered with a bang.
With the eightieth hammer blow, almost all of Hu Yanli's defensive layers were completely shattered, and his entire body sank deep into the ground, with only his head still sticking out. His only defense was the earthen-yellow helmet formed from the head's soul bone.
At this moment, Tang San's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique had finally accumulated to eighty-one strikes.
However, for Tang San now, it is somewhat difficult to swing this final hammer completely.
Sufficient charging time and perfect control are required to deliver this blow without the slightest mistake.
Of course, this time is not very long.
However, for a Soul Master, this brief charging time is enough to allow them to react.
Faced with Tang San's terrifying charged attack, Hu Yanli certainly wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. He had already felt the terrifying pressure and threat emanating from the Clear Sky Hammer.
Moreover, the murderous aura emanating from Tang San constantly reminded him that Tang San truly wanted to kill him.
If he stays put, then death is likely the only outcome awaiting him.
Hu Yanli dared not entrust his life to the official referees of the competition and the committee members supervising the competition on-site. It was unrealistic to expect them to react in time and step onto the stage to stop Tang San, who had clearly gone mad.
Besides, his grandfather, Hu Yanzhen, was watching him from the VIP seats, and the Spirit Hall's Holy Son, Ye Qifeng, who hadn't shown up yet, was definitely also paying attention to this match. He couldn't just be defeated so pathetically.
No matter the outcome, he must not back down.
Since that's the case, why not take a gamble?
With his thoughts racing, Hu Yanli quickly solidified his resolve. The remaining half of his soul power erupted, and he used all four limbs to pull himself off the ground.
Having withstood eighty blows from Tang San, Hu Yanli was now injured in many places. His muscles were covered with small, tearing wounds, and blood was flowing out, almost staining his entire body red. His internal organs were also damaged by the powerful shockwaves from the Clear Sky Hammer.
However, supported by its powerful physique and the earth elemental power provided by the earth, it remained standing and its movements were not significantly affected.
This time, Huyanli no longer chose to defend.
He poured all his soul power into his strongest defense, his head, or rather, the earthen-yellow helmet formed from the soul bone in his head. Then, he lay down on all fours, his muscles expanding and exerting force.
With a sudden stomp, the Soul Arena, spanning several meters in radius, instantly shattered and collapsed. Hu Yanli's massive body surged forward, charging towards Tang San like an enraged mammoth.
Although Diamond Mammoth Soul Masters have few attack skills and their methods of attack are simple, their powerful physique and terrifying weight endow them with strength that is unmatched by ordinary Soul Masters.
Once the charge begins, this force transforms into a terrifying impact force. Even if an ordinary Soul Master is hit by it, the result will be either death or serious injury; broken bones and ruptured tendons are the least of their worries.
At that very moment, just as Hu Yanli launched his full-force charge, Tang San on the opposite side had also completed the final charge of his Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
Under Tang San's precise control of the Crane Control and Dragon Capture technique, the Clear Sky Hammer instantly completed a full rotation, slicing through the air from back to front, creating a piercing whistling sound, demonstrating just how terrifying its attack was.
Tang San's goal was very clear: the Clear Sky Hammer was aimed at the earthen-yellow helmet on Hu Yanli's head, clearly indicating that he intended to confront Hu Yanli head-on.
thump—
In the blink of an eye, the Haotian Hammer and the tan helmet collided.
Perhaps because the attack power of both sides was too terrifying, the sound that erupted when the soul power collided was not the usual loud bang, but rather an extremely muffled sound.
It's the kind of sound that makes your heart skip a beat and your breath catch in your throat.
Suddenly, Hu Yanli felt as if he had crashed into a wall made of deep-sea silver, unable to move forward even an inch.
At the same time, an overwhelming force came, and the earth-yellow helmet formed by the soul bone in his head instantly dimmed and lost its defensive power. The shockwave spread from his head throughout his body, and a pain like an explosion came from all parts of his body.
Huyan Li felt a sudden tightness in his head, vomited blood, and then knew nothing more.
He lost consciousness.
Although Huyan Li lost consciousness, his massive body crashed back at an even faster speed than when he charged forward.
The direction of the attack was precisely where Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng were fighting two Soul Masters from the Elephant Armor Academy.
Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng sensed something and noticed Hu Yanli hurtling towards them like a soul-guided cannonball. Terrified, they quickly dodged.
Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng could dodge, but the two Soul Masters from Elephant Armor Academy could not.
Seeing that it was their captain flying towards them, and that he had obviously lost consciousness, in order to prevent their captain from being injured more seriously, the two of them simultaneously withdrew their defensive soul skills and used their pure physical strength to block and catch Hu Yanli's massive body.
However, Hu Yanli himself weighed over 500 jin, and with Tang San's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique attack, which was the strongest strike with a total of eighty-one hammer blows, even though only a little bit remained after the fierce collision, it was still something that the two of them could not withstand with their physical strength alone.
When the two Soul Masters reached out to catch Hu Yanli's body, Hu Yanli's enormous weight and the impact he carried sent them flying as well.
Their massive bodies caused them to roll like three gourds, crashing heavily onto the competition stage.
Then, there was no further movement.
Not only did Hu Yanli lose consciousness, but the two Soul Masters were also caught in the crossfire and fainted.
By this time, all seven members of the Elephant Armor Academy team had lost their fighting ability, while the Shrek Seven Devils, representing the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, had achieved a well-deserved victory.
Although Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng were a little confused, it was good that they had won in the end. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and showed relaxed smiles.
Then, he withdrew his soul power, retracted his martial soul, and returned to his normal form.
But Tang San seemed unwilling to end it just like that.
After a powerful collision with Hu Yanli, he was also badly hurt, his body flying back and crashing onto the arena, but he looked much better.
Aside from the backlash from the shattered Clear Sky Hammer causing him to vomit several mouthfuls of blood, he only suffered minor superficial injuries.
Tang San struggled to his feet and slowly moved toward the direction where Hu Yanli had fallen. His eyes were bloodshot and he was filled with murderous intent. His eyes were filled with the bright word "hatred," as if he would not rest until he killed Hu Yanli.
"You dare to hurt Xiao Wu? You deserve to die."
Muttering to himself, Tang San once again conjured the Clear Sky Hammer in his left hand, dragging it along the ground as he slowly walked towards Hu Yanli.
The heavy Haotian Hammer scraped against the ground, producing a series of crisp friction sounds.
"Tang San, you..."
Seeing Tang San's appearance, Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng, who had just breathed a sigh of relief and were about to celebrate with him, noticed his unusual behavior and quickly stepped forward to stop him and persuade him to stop.
"Don't be impulsive, the game is over, we've already won."
However, with their soul power almost depleted and their martial souls reclaimed, how could they possibly stop Tang San?
Having lost his mind, Tang San was filled with nothing but the thought of "dying," and he couldn't hear anything anyone said, stubbornly continuing to walk forward.
