105: Chapter 105 Ring Explosion

"Kid! Give me your life!"

Tang Hao roared, his Soul Power surging wildly around him. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, carrying terrifying momentum, smashed down towards Ji Xuan's head!

Just as the Clear Sky Hammer descended, a flash of light suddenly erupted from Ji Xuan's left lower leg. His Spirit Bone Ability, Teleportation, was activated.

His figure vanished into thin air, and a second later, he appeared a hundred meters away.

Boom—

The Clear Sky Hammer slammed down heavily. The ground shook violently, and a deep pit several meters in diameter instantly appeared, with soil and rocks flying everywhere and dust filling the air.

Tang Hao slowly lifted the giant hammer. He was not angry about missing the strike; instead, a terrifying gleam erupted in his eyes, accompanied by a hint of irrepressible ecstasy.

A Spirit Bone! And it was the extremely rare Teleportation skill!

This was simply an unexpected delight!

As long as he killed this kid, he could not only retrieve the external Spirit Bone that should have belonged to Tang San, but also gain a top-tier left leg bone for free!

This trip was a massive profit!

Greed and killing intent intertwined; Tang Hao no longer held anything back.

He pushed off with his feet, cracking the ground. Like a cannonball fired from a chamber, he charged violently towards Ji Xuan again, his offensive even more ferocious than before!

However, at this moment.

Whoosh—!

An ice crystal arrow tore through the air, aiming straight for Tang Hao's back!

Before the arrow arrived, the chill that could freeze the Soul had already reached him.

Alarm bells rang wildly in Tang Hao's mind. His combat instincts forced him to halt his charge, twisting his body around to forcefully block with the Clear Sky Hammer!

Clang—!

The arrow slammed hard against the hammer, exploding into a shower of ice crystal shards.

The extreme cold spread along the hammer handle, causing Tang Hao's arm to go numb, and his figure was forced back several meters.

His pupils constricted sharply! Someone was lurking nearby! And he hadn't noticed at all?!

The newcomer's strength was definitely far beyond an ordinary Titled Douluo, at least level ninety-eight or higher, and they were skilled in concealment and long-range sniping!

But before he could think it through, three more sounds of air being pierced followed in quick succession!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three more ice crystal arrows shot in from different tricky angles. The penetrating power and cold energy contained in each were even greater than the first, sealing off most of his evasion space!

"Clear Sky Bodyguard!" Tang Hao's Soul Power surged around him, propping up a solid Soul Power barrier.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

All three arrows struck the barrier simultaneously, emitting a piercing screech.

The barrier shook violently, managing to block the arrows' assault, but spiderweb-like cracks had already appeared on its surface.

Crack—!

The barrier finally couldn't bear the load and shattered upon impact!

In the distance behind him, Ji Xuan, who had been hovering on the edge of the battle circle, narrowed his eyes.

The first three spirit rings beneath his feet flashed in succession, and his speed and attack power instantly climbed to their peak.

Immediately after, the fifth deep black spirit ring flashed: "Fifth Spirit Ability, One Sword Freezes All!"

The power of extreme cold surged wildly into the Sword of Order. As Ji Xuan swung his sword, an ice-blue sword light, seemingly capable of freezing time and space, shot straight at Tang Hao's left leg from behind.

That was exactly the spot his line of sight and the Clear Sky Hammer could not cover.

The moment the barrier shattered, Tang Hao sensed the incoming chill from behind. His combat instincts made him turn to defend immediately, but the delay caused by the impact of the three arrows meant he was half a beat too slow!

The ice-blue sword light flashed past...

Crack—

Tang Hao felt a chill in his left leg, followed by a sensation of nothingness.

Immediately after, excruciating pain hit.

His left lower leg, just an inch below the knee, had been severed clean off!

There was no blood spraying; under the extreme cold of One Sword Freezes All, the wound froze instantly, the severed surface smooth as an ice sheet and covered in crystal-clear ice crystals.

"Arghhh—!!!" Tang Hao let out a miserable, painful roar, losing his balance and staggering forward, nearly falling to the ground.

"My leg! You little beast!!" Tang Hao used the Clear Sky Hammer to support his body, glaring with wide, angry eyes at Ji Xuan in the distance.

Enduring the pain of his severed leg, he reached out to grab the frozen severed limb; it contained an important Spirit Bone of his Sect's Legacy! It must not fall into the hands of Spirit Hall!

However—

Whoosh! Whoosh...

Several ice crystal arrows had silently arrived from behind! They forced him to pull back his hand and raise the Clear Sky Hammer to block in a sorry state.

In that split second, Ji Xuan's mind stirred. A gust of wind rolled out, precisely wrapping around the severed leg, lifting it into the air towards him, and then he quickly stored it into his spirit tool.

Seeing the Spirit Bone stolen, himself severely injured, a powerful enemy eyeing him from afar, and Ji Xuan waiting for an opportunity nearby, Tang Hao understood completely: his situation was lost.

He had fought this battle with the utmost frustration!

He possessed earth-shaking Clear Sky Hammer techniques, yet was powerless!

The opponent gave him no chance for a direct confrontation, only hiding in the shadows to release those deadly cold arrows, trapping him in place and forcing him to take hits passively!

"Cowards! A bunch of cowards who only dare to shoot cold arrows from afar! Do you dare to fight me head-on?!" Tang Hao's chest churned with rage, his eyes bloodshot, almost spitting fire.

This humiliation of being toyed with, suppressed, and having his Sect's Legacy Spirit Bone stolen made him far angrier than the pain of his severed leg.

However, his remaining sanity roared frantically in his heart: Escape! Escape immediately! If he didn't escape now, he would surely die!

All his anger, unwillingness, and hatred finally turned into a desperate resolve!

"Ring Explosion—!!!" Tang Hao roared.

Crack—

Several spirit rings shattered with a boom, and his aura climbed once again!

He then pushed off with his feet, turning into a stream of light, shooting towards the sky at extreme speed. Only one roar echoed in the air: "Spirit Hall! Ji Xuan! This hatred is irreconcilable!!"

Ji Xuan did not take Tang Hao's threats to heart; he was merely a clown jumping on a beam.

The storm gradually subsided, and on this devastated battlefield, only the dissipating violent Soul Power remained.

Light Feather Douluo's figure appeared quietly beside Ji Xuan: "Not bad, Xiao Xuan. Your timing was very precise."

Ji Xuan retracted the Sword of Order into his body: "Junior Martial Uncle is too kind. If not for your long-range suppression, creating that momentary opening, I would have had no chance of succeeding."

"Don't be modest, Xiao Xuan. Though I must say, I never expected that one day, the world-renowned Clear Sky Douluo would end up in such a miserable state."

Just as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly tightened: "Xiao Xuan, Chen Xin from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is coming. This place is not suitable for staying. Let's go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the moment Light Feather finished speaking, both their figures vanished from the spot.

A moment later, a sharp sound of air being pierced approached from afar. Chen Xin, the Sword Douluo, arrived riding his sword and landed slowly on the battlefield.

"Still a step too late..." Chen Xin muttered in a low voice.

He had sensed a Titled Douluo-level battle erupting outside the city and had immediately set off to come, but he hadn't expected the battle to end so quickly.

"Spirit Hall... Ji Xuan..."

Although distant, that roar Tang Hao let out before escaping was still faintly heard by Chen Xin.

"This matter must be reported to Fengzhi immediately."

Chen Xin did not linger; stepping on the Seven Kill Sword, he vanished into the distance in an instant.
