The lightning in the garden didn't cause much of a stir. Amon stole the light and sound, ensuring that those around didn't notice anything amiss.
After the rampaging thunder dissipated, the once lush green garden, adorned with flowers, had become a neat flatland. Everything had vanished in the earlier lightning, leaving only a deep blue triangular object where the gazebo once stood.
Amon, the clone whose fate was linked to the one swallowed by lightning, stepped forward, picked up the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and gazed at the sky.
He waited for a long time, but no new lightning struck. After a moment's thought, he probed it again with his mental power.
Subsequently, silver-white electric snakes descended once more, emitting deafening rumbles.
The third Amon clone stepped forward, severing its connection with the main body and the other avatars, retaining only the link to the other isolated clone. He continued to repeat the same process.
Lightning struck again.
This time, Amon didn't appear again, instead hiding within invisible microorganisms in the air, watching the changes in the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
After a long while, a illusory figure floated out from the deep blue triangular object, saying with a gloomy expression, "What the hell is this thing? Pui..."
He spat at the scorched figure on the ground, then gradually became transparent and disappeared.
The fourth Amon clone walked over. He bent down, picked up the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, adjusted his monocle, and his eyes were deep.
From the previous experiments, he had roughly drawn the following conclusions:
The Sea God cannot lock onto the other Amons through fate, otherwise the second and fourth Amon avatars would also be destroyed by lightning along with the first and third.
From this, it can also be inferred that most gods do not have such abilities. Fate, for gods, is also an elusive thing.
The source of the lightning's power is not the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud; it only acts as a beacon. They seem like real lightning, falling from an unknown, distant place in the sky.
The attack power of those lightning strikes is actually not too strong, at least not as strong as the Crimson Lotus Serpent's move that killed the Amon clone who activated "Invincible Golden Body."
Although the lightning contains divine power, it's not much, and it can't completely break the rules. If "Invincible Golden Body" is activated, it can be blocked. This may be due to limitations on the Sea God's actions, or it may simply be to save energy.
The Sea God can observe what happens around the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, but not all the time... otherwise another lightning strike would have fallen by now.
For Amon, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud can only exert its due effect in Tang San's hands. He will have Dai Mubai send it over when he is sent to the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Well, let's just say it's for the friendship between the two countries... As for why the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud fell into the hands of the Star Luo Emperor, let's just say it was a trophy found in Duke Amon's mansion after breaking through the City of Night..."
...
The Azure Bull Python distorted its huge snake body, wandering through the forest.
After all, it was a Soul Beast, and it was inconvenient to live in Heaven Dou City for a long time. Therefore, after Tang San discussed it with Xiao Wu, he decided to let it go to the Clear Sky Sect and stay there as a guardian beast.
Tang San hugged Xiao Wu, sitting on the Azure Bull Python's head.
"Xiao Wu, marry me..." Feeling the soft body in his arms and smelling the fragrance emanating from her, Tang San couldn't help but say.
"Brother San..." Xiao Wu said shyly, nodding slowly, "Okay."
The Azure Bull Python's body stagnated, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Xiao Wu noticed the change in the Azure Bull Python beneath her and couldn't help but ask, "Da Ming, what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing, the wind is picking up... just a little sand."
Tang San suddenly spoke, "Stop, something's not right..."
He felt a dangerous aura coming from ahead, his body tensing up, protecting Xiao Wu behind him.
Tang Hao on the Azure Bull Python's back also changed his expression, looking ahead with a solemn face.
A dozen figures slowly approached, the leader being a cold and beautiful woman. She looked at Tang San and the others, greeting them with a smile, "We meet again, Tang San."
"It's you... Qian Renxue, what are you doing here?"
"Naturally, I'm here to hunt Soul Rings..." Qian Renxue's gaze swept over the Azure Bull Python, finally landing on Xiao Wu.
"So this is your Clear Sky Sect's reason for colluding with Soul Beasts... Sure enough, she's a beauty who can topple kingdoms and cities, but unfortunately, she's not human."
Tang San looked at the four people beside her, his heart slowly sinking.
Thousand Might Douluo, Subduing Demon Douluo, Pufferfish Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo, the Spirit Hall actually sent four Title Douluos, and two of them are Elders!
Although he felt great pressure in his heart, Tang San sarcastically retorted, "Hunting Soul Rings? Aren't there enough Soul Beasts next to Spirit City? If you have the ability, you can hunt that Golden Eyed Black Dragon King..."
Qian Renxue's face darkened slightly. There were many Soul Beasts next to Spirit City, but it was almost impossible to take the opportunity to hunt Soul Rings.
Especially those Soul Beasts with higher age limits, who basically play the role of commanders in the Beast Tide, rarely rushing to the front.
"Compared to the Soul Beasts on the frontal battlefield, I think Soul Beasts that erode people's wills and change people's ideas within the empire are more dangerous."
"Thank you, Grandpa Qian Might, Grandpa Subduing Demon."
"Leave it to us." Subduing Demon took a step forward, a Coiling Dragon Staff appearing in his hand. He looked at Tang Hao and said, "The murderer who killed Xiao Qian, I was careless last time and let you run away."
Subduing Demon coldly continued, "This time we will make up for the mistakes of that time, and we will definitely make you..."
"Pay for your blood!" The two of them said in unison.
The murderer who killed Dad is actually Mom... Qian Renxue muttered in her heart.
Tang Hao snorted coldly, "It's you who should pay for your blood... I haven't settled the score with you for killing my big brother yet!"
With a flip of his wrist, a dark black hammer appeared in his hand, and a powerful aura emanated, causing Qian Might's pupils to shrink.
"Level 97 Super Douluo? You actually improved two levels?"
Subduing Demon frowned slightly, "As expected of the once famous Clear Sky Douluo..."
"But that's not enough."
Tang Hao launched the attack first, "It's more than enough to deal with you two old things."
The Clear Sky Hammer collided with the Coiling Dragon Staff, making a metallic trembling sound.
Qian Might and Subduing Demon joined forces, two Coiling Dragon Staffs flying up and down, carrying a strange rhythm.
Tang Hao swung the Clear Sky Hammer airtight, facing the joint efforts of Qian Might and Subduing Demon, he didn't fall behind at all.
Ci Xue and She Long didn't hesitate, summoning their Martial Souls and facing the Azure Bull Python.
Qian Renxue waved her arm, and more than a dozen Soul Emperors and Soul Sages approached Tang San and Xiao Wu in a semi-encircling formation.
Tang San stared closely at Qian Renxue, knowing that she was the real enemy.
"Xiao Wu, I'll hold them back for a while, you leave first."
"No, Brother San, I want to fight alongside you." Xiao Wu refused, "My Invincible Golden Body and Teleportation skills have returned, I can help you."
"Want to leave? You have to be able to leave." Qian Renxue spread her three pairs of pure white wings behind her, a golden long sword appearing in her hand.
Seeing Tang San in trouble below, Tang Hao knew that Tang San and Xiao Wu alone could definitely not win against Qian Renxue and her subordinates.
So he retreated while fighting, bringing the battle closer to that side.
"I won't let you succeed." Subduing Demon blocked Tang Hao's path with a staff, forcing him to dodge to the other side.
More than a dozen Soul Masters launched attacks at the same time, Xiao Wu activated the Invincible Golden Body, standing in front of Tang San, taking the brunt of this force.
The Invincible Golden Body can block attacks, but it will still be pushed away by the opponent's power.
Taking advantage of this force, the two of them quickly retreated, creating distance from Qian Renxue and the others.
"Chase!" Qian Renxue took the lead, flapping her wings, skimming past at low altitude.
Tang San hugged Xiao Wu, activating the "Flight" skill of his right leg bone, nimbly moving through the forest.
Xiao Wu took out the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, shooting at the pursuing Qian Renxue, trying to slow her down.
With Xiao Wu's interference, Qian Renxue couldn't catch up with Tang San quickly, but the distance between them was still closing little by little.
After more than ten minutes of chasing and fleeing, Qian Renxue finally caught up with the two, slashing down with the long sword in her hand.
Tang San turned his body, summoned the Clear Sky Hammer, and blocked this blow.
Their speed was much faster than the other Soul Emperors and Soul Sages, already leaving them far behind.
Tang San and Xiao Wu together, began to fight with Qian Renxue.
He planned to join forces with Xiao Wu to defeat Qian Renxue, and then deal with the others.
But Qian Renxue, whose Soul Power had already reached level 80, showed extremely strong combat power, making Tang San's situation dangerous.
"How is it possible? How could you be so strong?" After being kicked away and hitting a tree, spitting out a mouthful of blood, Tang San couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Did you think that what you saw last time was my full strength? I was just not in good condition that time." Qian Renxue replied coldly.
Last time, she had just experienced a great battle on the front line, and then rushed to the palace non-stop. By the time she arrived, she was extremely exhausted.
Qian Renxue waved her sword, stabbing towards Tang San.
Xiao Wu teleported in front of him, activating the Invincible Golden Body, facing the long sword, kicking Qian Renxue in the face.
Seeing Qian Renxue's subordinates getting closer and closer, she realized that there was no hope of escape, revealing a sad smile to Tang San: "Brother San, I still want to be your Xiao Wu in the next life..."
A dazzling red light suddenly spread from the center of Xiao Wu's eyebrows, turning into a red halo that spread instantly. Wherever the red light passed, everything was dyed blood-red, and everything was still at this moment.
"Sister Xiao Wu!" The Azure Bull Python let out a low roar, madly smashing away Ci Xue and She Long, running towards the place where the red light emanated.
Tang Hao felt that the spreading Soul Power fluctuations were familiar, and a look of worry appeared in his eyes.
He used his body to resist Qian Might's Coiling Dragon Staff, rushing towards that direction.
"Xiao San!"
Subduing Demon immediately chased after him, "I will never let you hinder Miss."
