Chapter 203: Seven Treasures Intervenes, Mysterious Ice Douluo VS Sword Douluo

~8 min read 1,571 words

"Hmph, you Tang Hao have plenty of combat experience, but that doesn't mean I, Lan Xue, am lacking. Second form, Blue Sea Tide Rises!"

Lan Xue's Blue Sea Tide Rises, based on the endless cycle of the Five Elements, draws its meaning from nature and is known for the saying, "The divine dragon shows its head but not its tail." Its intent is vast, boundless like the sea, and surging like the tides.

This move combines offense and defense, with dense halberd momentum. The Clear Sky Hammer seemed to strike into the middle of the ocean, instantly rendering the power of the Clear Sky Hammer invisible. Then, the surging waves swept over everything, crashing back toward Tang Hao with immense force.

The Mysterious Ice Halberd slammed heavily onto the body of the Clear Sky Hammer, knocking Tang Hao back dozens of meters.

"Fifth Soul Skill: Profound Ice Break!" Lan Xue seized the opportunity to pursue, a giant Mysterious Ice dragon roaring as it emerged.

"Sky-Surpassing Strike!" Tang Hao had broken this move before and did not take it to heart, using Sky-Surpassing Strike to strike the dragon's vital seven-inch point again.

But unlike that year, the phenomenon of the dragon shattering did not happen again.

Tang Hao's hammer only managed to leave a mark on the dragon's neck; this was the hardness of Extreme Ice.

The giant dragon whipped its tail, striking Tang Hao square in the face. Tang Hao was sent flying, his entire body embedded into the rock wall. He wanted to vomit blood, but he couldn't.

"Tang Hao, I don't care who stands behind you. Even if Tang Xiao comes to find me, I am not afraid. As long as you dare to hurt my son, then go to hell. Eighth form, Swing Qi Return Dream." Lan Xue skipped directly over the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth forms, unleashing the eighth form of the Heavenly Queen Halberd Technique.

"Seven Treasures has a name: the first is Power, the second is Speed, the third is Soul, and the fifth is Attack!"

Their timely appearance saved the dying Tang Hao.

Because he only felt as if his blood were about to freeze into ice cubes, and this strike had caused his hidden injuries to flare up once again; at this moment, he couldn't muster much soul power at all.

Just as Lan Xue was about to succeed, five Seven Kill Swords descended from the sky, under the assistance of the seven-ringed Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

The person he was most grateful to right now was Long Gong. What Long Gong blocked was his Eighth Soul Skill, Might Shakes All Directions, and what he saved was not actually Nan Feihuang, but him.

Even Lan Xue's Extreme Ice was temporarily shaken away by this strike.

Power, speed, soul power, and attack were all increased by eighty percent.

"Fifth Soul Skill: Might Shakes All Directions!"

This halberd move had a lofty intent, as distant as a dream and as majestic as Qi; it was the strongest single-target attack.

That Tang Hao, who had schemed against him, was beaten like this certainly made him happy, but mainly because he hadn't actually harmed Nan Feihuang just now; otherwise, if Lan Xue settled scores with him later, he would definitely have no way to survive.

After all, Lan Xue was only at the mid-stage of Level 95, while Sword Douluo possessed peak Level 96 soul power. With Ning Fengzhi's full assistance, he was comparable to a late-stage Level 97. The gap of one level for a Super Douluo was incomparably huge, not to mention the dual bonuses of power and attack.

"Beautifully fought. I didn't expect Mysterious Ice Crown to be so powerful; even that Tang Hao is no match for her." Huang Zhenshan felt both excited and relieved.

She truly had killing intent; at worst, after slaughtering Tang Hao, she would just have to fight Tang Xiao once.

Actually, this was still Lan Xue's own fault. If her Extreme Ice hadn't affected Lingyuan Douluo's fire, Lingyuan Douluo wouldn't have been easily defeated by Sword Douluo.

Ju and Gui also had psychological trauma regarding Tang Hao. Upon learning that Tang Hao was nearby, and with Ning Fengzhi and Sword Dao Chenxin in front of them, if things went poorly, not only would they fail to kill Tang San, but they might also be surrounded by the Upper Three Sects.

Thus, they decisively ordered a retreat.

It was precisely because of this that Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were able to free themselves to rescue Tang Hao.

"Sect Master Ning, Sword Douluo Crown, what is the meaning of this?" Lan Xue asked angrily.

"Mysterious Ice Crown, please temporarily extinguish your Thunder's Fury. Fengzhi does not know what deep hatred you have with Tang Hao, but I hope you can give me face today and let Tang Hao go once. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be most grateful," Ning Fengzhi requested.

His rescue of Tang San today was already equivalent to standing completely on the opposite side of the Spirit Hall. Facing the behemoth that was the Spirit Hall, helpers were of course welcome one by one. Tang Hao was such a powerful combatant and also had a deep hatred for the Spirit Hall; even if it wasn't for the saying that the Upper Three Sects share the same breath, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

Therefore, he had to protect Tang Hao.

"Let him go?" Lan Xue questioned, "Does Sect Master Ning know what he did? Impersonating a Title Douluo from over there, attempting to kill my son, and framing it on that side. How do you expect me to let him go?"

Although Lan Xue was angry, she still had her reason. Even if everyone knew it in their hearts, the three words "Spirit Hall" could not be spoken easily.

"This..." Ning Fengzhi was also speechless regarding Tang Hao. He did not know the grievances between the two, but no matter what hatred Tang Hao had with Lan Xue, he shouldn't have taken revenge on someone else's child.

Who didn't know that Nan Feihuang was Lan Xue's reverse scale?

But today, no matter what, he could not let Tang Hao die here.

Ning Fengzhi had actually long since sensed the ambition of the Spirit Hall. He believed that relying solely on the Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they were absolutely no match for them.

Therefore, he had to find a way to pull the Clear Sky Sect out as well; the Tang father and son were the breakthrough point.

"Clear Sky Crown, you go first. We will block Lan Xue," Ning Fengzhi quietly used Soul Transmission.

"Many thanks, Sect Master Ning. I, Tang Hao, will definitely repay this kindness in the future!" Tang Hao struggled out of the rock wall and flew toward the horizon.

"Want to escape? Sixth Soul Skill: Ice Prison!" How could Lan Xue watch Tang Hao escape? Cold air, like a frozen hell, spread toward him.

Sword Douluo flew to the path of Tang Hao's escape, filling the sky with Seven Kill Swords, "Sixth Soul Skill: Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!"

The Seven Kill Sword, known for its strongest attack, under the assistance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, shot into the cold air created by Lan Xue like a torrential rain.

Although each sword was frozen and blown into powder, it truly blocked the cold air from continuing to invade forward.

By the time both sides finished clashing this move, Tang Hao's aura had already completely vanished, and his whereabouts were unknown.

"Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, you go too far. If you don't give me an explanation today, from now on, my Gu Lei Kingdom and your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are enemies." Lan Xue was furious. She now had the confidence to say these words; she did not fear either Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo in the slightest.

Moreover, the Gu Lei Kingdom still had Poison Douluo. Both sides had two Title Douluo; why should I fear you!

"Mysterious Ice Crown, Fengzhi is also helpless. The Upper Three Sects share the same breath; please forgive Fengzhi for not being able to watch Clear Sky Crown die in front of me just like that. Furthermore, your son has not suffered any harm. Fengzhi promises that one day my Upper Three Sects will surely bring generous gifts to the Gu Lei Kingdom to apologize, so as to soothe the heart of Crown Prince Feihuang. In fact, we are all friends of the Heaven Dou Empire. I am the teacher of Crown Prince Qing He, and your son is the husband of Princess Xue Ke; we should have been on the same path. If we fight each other, wouldn't that make our loved ones suffer and our enemies rejoice? Therefore, I ask Mysterious Ice Crown to endure this moment of anger," Ning Fengzhi hinted.

It was not just his relationship with Xue Qinghe, but also that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was an ally of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Gu Lei Kingdom was even a vassal kingdom of the Heaven Dou Empire.

What is meant by "loved ones suffer and enemies rejoice" if not that the two sides, both supporting Heaven Dou, fight a civil war and let the Spirit Hall reap the benefits?
