Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 493 - Caw, no! Caw!

Ever since the Spirit Hall crippled his limbs and severed four fingers, Tang Hao had maintained a depressed state of mind. In his heart, he believed that no healing-type spirit master in the world could cure him. Even the Nine-Hearted Begonia, the only one capable of healing him, would never offer assistance.

Ah Yin's appearance was like offering a cup of water to a thirsty traveler. Tang Hao immediately recalled the inexhaustible vitality that Ah Yin had once displayed.

Although Ah Yin's healing abilities were far from sufficient to heal Tang Hao in his current state, who had the time or inclination to care?

Tang Hao wasn't even thinking about why Ah Yin was here or how she was doing; his only thought was to get Ah Yin to completely cure him. Everything else was unimportant.

Outside the cave, Chen Ming, who had released Ah Yin, shrank his now enormous body, a hint of mockery in his eyes, clearly deciding to leave the situation to Ah Yin to handle.

Facing his former older brother, Ah Yin was filled with mixed emotions.

Ah Yin used to genuinely regard Tang Xiao as her elder brother, but with Tang Hao's repeated betrayals and shameless behavior, Ah Yin has completely lost faith in the Clear Sky Sect, and her goodwill towards Tang Xiao has also diminished slightly.

Although Tang Xiao had never done anything to wrong A Yin, their relationship could never truly return to what it once was. A Yin harbored no ill will towards Tang Xiao, but a distant look had crept into her eyes.

"Big brother, it's been a long time." Ah Yin's voice was filled with intense anger and malevolence, almost completely different from her gentle voice back then. But at this moment, Tang Xiao still felt as if he had returned to the past and met that innocent girl who was once unaware of the ways of the world.

"Ah Yin, is it really you? You can still think? It was my fault for not saving you back then. I'll save you from that Ten Thousand Ghosts Douluo right now!"

Tang Xiao's voice was excited, and his eyes were glistening with tears.

"I'm doing fine now. You don't need to worry about me anymore," Ah Yin sighed, waving her hand. Immediately, thick blue silver grass vines, as thick as a normal person's thigh, pierced through the ground, like crossbow bolts, heading towards Tang Xiao. However, their power was not much, and for Tang Xiao, they were not even as dangerous as the little spider.

"Ah Yin, I will definitely free you from this control!"

Hearing Ah Yin's "painful" voice, Tang Xiao felt as if dozens of Tang Sans were constantly drilling holes in his heart with their pointed heads, causing waves of excruciating pain.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, he was panting heavily, and the veins on his neck bulged with rage, making him look like an enraged bull charging desperately toward the giant human-faced spider king.

The Clear Sky Hammer swung rapidly, instantly pulverizing the thick Blue Silver Grass vines under the powerful metal-attribute soul force. Although the Blue Silver Grass in Ah Yin's hands was now also affected by evil power, its inherent attributes remained quite orthodox, with its life-giving effects being exceptionally strong.

The shattered vine fragments, under the influence of soul power, rapidly regenerated into even smaller vines, tightly coiling around Tang Xiao from all angles. Some Blue Silver Grass that landed on Tang Xiao's protective soul power quickly took root, their roots piercing through his soul power barrier, using it as nourishment to grow and spread into his flesh. Tang Xiao, after all, was a Super Douluo; he wasn't completely brainless. Although his mind was incredibly complex, his counterattack didn't stop. He swung the Clear Sky Hammer fiercely, uprooting the Blue Silver Grass that had either coiled around him or parasitized him, creating a powerful barrier in front of him with the air currents.

Tang Xiao suddenly lunged forward, breaking free from the Blue Silver Grass's restraints with a dash, and swung his hammer at Ah Yin. Under Ah Yin's control, strands of Blue Silver Grass rapidly grew, condensing into a spiderweb-like structure in front of her.

While disarming Tang Xiao of the power of the Clear Sky Hammer, the Blue Silver Grass spread in the opposite direction, growing rapidly along the Clear Sky Hammer in an attempt to control Tang Xiao.

"The Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian: Emptiness!"

Tang Xiao's soul power surged, and as if shedding its shell, he used the barrier formed by his soul power to break free from the Blue Silver Grass's entanglement, and continued to advance towards Ah Yin with strange steps.

Chen Ming could see clearly that the step Tang Xiao was taking was four or five parts similar to Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step. Excluding the fact that there were still some flaws in the internal soul power circulation, it could already achieve seven or eight tenths of the effect of Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step.

Clearly, Tang Xiao had learned this technique from Tang San without Tang San's knowledge by observing him daily. His sudden use of it at this moment caused Ah Yin considerable trouble. However, Ah Yin was ultimately not Tang San; her control over the Blue Silver Grass was far beyond Tang San's capabilities.

A vast expanse of blue silver grass vines sprouted, rapidly and indiscriminately lashing the ground in front of Ah Yin. While slowing Tang Xiao's advance with a covering attack, they quickly wove together in all directions, transforming into several huge vine nets that enveloped Tang Xiao without leaving any blind spots.

The vine netting on one or two sides was instantly torn to shreds by Tang Xiao, but it did indeed slow his advance. Taking advantage of this opportunity, more vine netting was woven and spread towards Tang Xiao as if it were free. Many corners also contained hidden barbs and poison, making Tang Xiao dare not be careless in the slightest.

"Ninth Soul Skill - Haotian Invincible!"

A deep black spirit ring flashed, and the phantom of a white tiger emerged from it before disappearing into the Clear Sky Hammer. With the enhancement of this spirit skill, Tang Xiao's spirit power surged to its peak, even breaking through the conventional limits of attributes for a short period, stepping into the threshold of ultimate gold.

As the Clear Sky Hammer was swung, a series of tiger roars echoed in the void. With various buffs, Tang Xiao reached the peak of his combat power and prepared to tear apart all obstacles in front of him except for Ah Yin's soul with the most ferocious attack.

But at that moment, Ah Yin also moved. She closed her eyes, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and the foothold made of blue silver grass beneath her suddenly burst up, forming a small forest on the ground.

The strands of blue silver grass intertwined, forming the shape of a gigantic arm, and the purple palm slammed down towards Tang Xiao. Even the air seemed to become heavy with the power contained within.
