Chapter 307: The Gu Lei Melon-Eating Group: Azure Bull Python VS Tang Hao
"Break Absolute!"
Tang Hao's angry hammer strike was not a soul skill, yet its power was even greater than the Sky-Surpassing Strike from just a moment ago.
He had unleashed the true ultimate technique of the Clear Sky Sect, the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes.
The so-called Clear Sky Nine Absolutes are actually nine special methods of exerting force; the Azure Bull Python's physical strength is formidable, impervious to blades and spears, and unafraid of blunt weapon strikes, so even Tang Hao could not gain any advantage by clashing head-on.
Therefore, he intended to rely on this Break Absolute move to first shatter the Azure Bull Python's defense.
When this hammer strike landed on the Azure Bull Python, the beast felt as if the scales on its body were on the verge of shattering; it immediately understood that Tang Hao's previous hammer strike possessed a defense-breaking effect.
It could not be hit consecutively, otherwise the defense in one area of its body would gradually collapse, and at that point, a single random hammer strike would be enough to severely injure it.
"Slow Domain!"
Following a roar from the Azure Bull Python, its innate domain, the Slow Domain, was activated.
At this moment, Tang Hao clearly felt that both his movement speed and the speed at which he condensed his soul power had been slowed by thirty to forty percent.
To be able to weaken even a Super Douluo to such an extent, this domain could certainly be called powerful.
But how could Tang Hao be willing to show weakness? While he did not have an innate domain, the one he had acquired later was no less inferior: "Killing God Domain!"
A cold killing intent spread out, and bathed under the Killing God Domain, even a powerhouse like the Azure Bull Python felt a chill throughout its entire body; Xiao Wu was even worse off, her hair standing on end and her long legs trembling.
After all, she did not have the cultivation of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast right now; she was merely a Soul Ancestor who had broken through not long ago.
After years of cultivation, the degree to which Tang Hao's Killing God Domain weakened his opponents was no longer the initial ten percent; even for a monster like the Azure Bull Python, it was around thirty percent.
It could be said that it exactly offset the slowing effect of the Slow Domain.
Since everyone was reduced by so much, rounding it off, didn't that mean neither was reduced at all?
"Quake Absolute!" Tang Hao struck the Azure Bull Python's ox head with another hammer blow; this strike contained immense vibrating power and was a move specifically unleashed against opponents with high physical defense.
The vibrating power of the Clear Sky Hammer could pass through the body surface and into the opponent's internal organs, shattering all of the enemy's organs.
No matter how strong one trained their external defense, very few people could train their internal organs as well.
Internal organs are the weakness of the vast majority of living creatures, and even as strong as the Azure Bull Python was, blood seeped from the corner of its mouth under this strike.
Yet it was no simple character; that hammer strike from Tang Hao, while fatal to others, was merely a minor injury to it. It didn't care at all; in fact, the opening from earlier was intentionally revealed to Tang Hao, with the very purpose of seizing that opportunity to counterattack.
Only a 'swish' sound was heard.
A massive snake tail coiled around Tang Hao and his Clear Sky Avatar with lightning speed.
One of the strongest attack methods of a snake is binding; up until now, no prey caught by the Azure Bull Python had ever been able to escape.
"What?" Tang Hao realized he actually couldn't keep up with the Azure Bull Python's speed; despite having such a massive body, it moved faster than anyone else.
Even Qian Xunji, who possessed a god-level martial soul back in the day, likely did not have the Azure Bull Python's ability to be as immovable as a mountain and move like thunder.
Not only that, the Azure Bull Python also possessed heaven-and-earth-shaking strength; no matter how Tang Hao struggled, he could not break free from its binding.
Today, the Azure Bull Python intended to use its snake tail to crush every bone in Tang Hao's body into powder while he was still alive.
Unless Tang Hao performed a Ring Detonation—and it would have to be six rings or more—even he, the Clear Sky Douluo, did not have strength equal to an ancient exotic beast like the Azure Bull Python. But the problem was that, let alone six rings, detonating even three rings now would be like taking his life.
"Tang Hao, today, you will undoubtedly die. Azure Silence Thunder!" The Azure Bull Python once again used its thunder power, covering its entire body in lightning.
Tang Hao, both bound and having his body invaded by thunder, felt as if he had fallen into the torture of a thousand cuts.
"Ah!!!"
Tang Hao's painful wails echoed through the valley; that shrill cry scared away all the Spirit Beasts and wild beasts in the valley.
In truth, if the Azure Bull Python had unleashed its full electrical power, Tang Hao would likely have already exploded, but it did not want him to die so quickly; it had to make him taste every torture in the world before sending him down to see his second brother and apologize.
"How miserable, how miserable. This is my first time seeing the Clear Sky Douluo beaten so miserably. Even my mother isn't as ruthless as the Azure Bull Python. If only there were melon seeds right now; otherwise, watching a show always feels like something is missing," said Nan Feihuang.
Upon hearing this, Lv Lingqi tapped the gemstone on her hairpin with her finger and immediately took out a large bag of melon seeds. "Husband, I brought some."
"Truly worthy of my precious Lingqi, well-prepared," Nan Feihuang laughed. "E Lai, Wenruo, you two have some as well."
Further behind the four, the hidden Poison Douluo stood together with the Profound Ice Douluo. Dugu Bo said to Lan Xue, "Your Excellency Profound Ice, your son is a bit unscrupulous."
It was clearly he who had schemed to put Tang Hao in this state, yet he could still so brazenly act as a spectator.
Lan Xue nodded. "Indeed, too unscrupulous. An unfilial son; he didn't even know to send some melon seeds over to his mother."
Dugu Bo was stunned. Was that what he meant?
Why are the two of you equally unscrupulous? Oh, mother and son, that explains it; if the upper beam is crooked, the lower ones will be askew.
Before long, Tang Hao felt his bones beginning to crack and his skin and flesh becoming crispy from the electricity. If he didn't break free, he would, as the Azure Bull Python said, be crushed into a pile of powder.
Tang Hao suddenly thought of something: the Ice Continuation Pill spirit medicine that Tang Yuehua had given him, which she said could suppress his hidden injuries.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Tang Yuehua, but it had been so many years, and he had sought many methods, yet he remained helpless against his hidden injuries.
He did not believe that the pill Tang Yuehua found would be of any use to him, so he had not taken it immediately.
Now, he could only treat a dead horse as a living one; if this medicine were truly effective, perhaps he could perform a Ring Detonation and turn defeat into victory.
Tang Hao continued to circulate his soul power with his left hand to resist the Azure Bull Python's attack, while his right hand reached into his robe.
The Azure Bull Python seemed to notice his movement and increased its force once again.
Just at this moment, Xiao Wu could no longer bear to watch. "Daming, stop!"
She still couldn't bring herself to kill Tang Hao; after all, if Tang Hao died at Daming's hands, what would happen to her and Tang San?
"Sister Xiao Wu, why?" Daming looked at Xiao Wu with confusion and disappointment. Could it be that even at a time like this, she still wanted to plead for the murderer who killed its brother?
In the moment of the Azure Bull Python's slight distraction, Tang Hao seized the opportunity; he pulled the bottle of Ice Continuation Pill from his robe and crushed it. The emerald-green pill was drawn by Tang Hao's soul power and flew straight into his mouth.
