Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul Tu Shan Su Su, a tangled web of fate.

Chapter 95 Meeting Fellow Villagers! [Please Read On]

"It is said that every generation of Haotian Douluo is the most talented and powerful person in the Haotian Sect."

"Let me see today just how strong you, Haotian Douluo, really are!"

Bibi Dong slammed her scepter on the ground, and rings of spirit energy appeared around her feet.

It illuminated the entire killing field.

The first few spirit rings weren't anything special.

Only the last red spirit ring was truly captivating.

Tang Hao was not to be outdone; he spun the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, adjusting it to its optimal combat stance.

Nine spirit rings appeared beneath his feet, the last one being a dazzling crimson.

"Mistress, run!"

After giving a low instruction, Tang Hao raised the Haotian Hammer and charged out.

His figure, like a black lightning bolt, shattered the deathly silence of the killing field.

"Dad!" Tang San glanced at him reluctantly, then turned and disappeared into the scattering crowd.

He knew he couldn't be a burden to his father.

"Eighth Soul Skill: Wrath of the Heavenly Emperor!"

After more than a decade of silence, Tang Hao unleashed a domineering and unparalleled killing move.

A violent, explosive aura swept across the entire killing field.

The Haotian Hammer shone with a brilliant black light, growing larger as it faced the wind, its surface expanding to three or four meters in size, its imposing presence astonishing.

The moment Tang Hao burst in, the entire killing field descended into chaos.

For the fallen ones present,

This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to escape.

They knew that if they didn't escape now, they would likely be slaughtered like livestock by those madmen.

Under the protection of the black-veiled messenger, Hu Liena was taken to the high platform.

Her eyes were still bloodshot.

He seemed still immersed in the memory of the killing he had just witnessed, unable to extricate himself from it.

"Third Soul Skill: Death Spider Web Binding!"

Bibi Dong parted her lips slightly, and a purple mist shot out.

This fog carries a potent toxin.

It even made a hissing, corrosive sound as it passed through the air.

Even the air seemed to become fragile under the corrosive effects of this toxin.

The purple mist swirled and changed in the air, gradually condensing into huge spider webs.

Bibi Dong's soul skill is extremely rare; the power of this spider web increases as her own strength grows.

Even a titled Douluo would find it difficult to break free easily.

Instead, they will sink deeper and deeper, becoming a nightmare for offensive Soul Masters.

Although Tang Hao didn't seem to care,

But facing Bibi Dong, the former number one genius of the Spirit Hall who possesses twin spirits, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

"The Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian: Pierce!"

"The Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian: Penetrate!"

At this moment, the enormous Haotian Hammer was not as cumbersome as everyone had imagined; instead, it displayed astonishing agility.

It propelled Tang Hao, skillfully dodging one spiderweb after another, straight towards the high platform.

Bibi Dong naturally wouldn't let him succeed so easily.

"Eighth Soul Skill: Spider Queen Clone!"

She was enveloped in purple light, and suddenly, an identical clone of her emerged from behind her.

Two Bibi Dongs stood on the high platform, one on the left and one on the right, blocking Tang Hao's path.

"A clone? To me, it's nothing!"

Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, with immense force, smashed towards the two Bibi Dongs.

His attacks were simple and direct, yet contained unparalleled power.

Fifth Soul Skill: Thousand Edges and Ten Thousand Shields!

Bibi Dong's clone took a firm step.

The spider legs behind him, like shadows stretching out in the night, quickly intertwined to form a huge and sharp shield.

The shield gleamed coldly in the dimly lit killing field, meeting Tang Hao's fierce attack head-on.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Eternal Creation!"

At this critical moment, Bibi Dong's true form swiftly switched martial souls, and the power of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor surged within her.

Behind her, six ferocious spider legs suddenly appeared, the two giant scythes at the foremost point being as sharp as jade carvings.

While Tang Hao was focused on attacking his clone, she slashed diagonally, releasing a huge green fork-shaped light wave.

Tang Hao felt a chill run down his spine the moment Bibi Dong launched her attack.

It was an intuition about death, a warning hidden deep in the blood.

His instincts screamed, telling him he had to retreat immediately.

His body reacted faster than his mind.

Tang Hao suddenly hurled the Haotian Hammer and retreated rapidly.

Even with such a fast reaction time, it was still not possible to completely evade it.

A green light wave swept past,

His left arm and right leg were slashed hard, and blood gushed out immediately, the wounds so deep that bone was visible.

Only by circulating soul power,

Only then could they offer some resistance.

Tang Hao frowned, not expecting Bibi Dong's soul skill to be so domineering and troublesome.

We cannot stay any longer and must evacuate as soon as possible!

"Great Sumeru Hammer: Ring Explosion!"

A hint of madness flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.

The spirit rings beneath his feet shattered one by one.

His momentum was also constantly increasing.

"Bibi Dong, didn't you want to see my true strength?"

"Then let's see if we can take it!"

Tang Hao's eyes were filled with arrogance, as if he were an omnipotent god!

"Take this!"

Bibi Dong's expression was solemn, but not enough to make her give up.

Ninth Soul Skill: Immortality

Bibi Dong's ninth spirit ring flashed beneath her feet, and under the red light, her entire body became illusory.

The mighty Haotian Hammer pierced through her body.

However, it did not cause any harm.

In this state

That means as long as the opponent isn't a god-level being,

Therefore, it would be impossible to truly kill Bibi Dong in this state.

This can be considered the greatest respect she could show Tang Hao.

First Soul Skill: Crescent Moon!

Bibi Dong's voice echoed across the killing field.

The eight spider spears behind her rose upwards as her first spirit ring shone.

The intense dark green light was like a crescent moon suddenly rising in the night sky, carrying a deadly chill.

Eight spears drew a perfect arc in the air, slashing out a crescent-shaped dark green light.

The dark green crescent moon lightly brushed across Tang Hao's left arm.

With a "thud," a blood-soaked arm fell onto the battlefield littered with corpses.

The dark green light seemed alive.

The infection continued to spread along his severed arm.

Tang Hao gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with a crazed light. He gripped the remaining part of his arm with his right hand and tore it apart with force.

With a "crack," his entire arm was torn off at the root.

The elders present were all taken aback by Tang Hao's madness.

"Bibi Dong, is that all you've got?"

Tang Hao looked up at the sky and roared.

"I haven't even used my full strength yet!"

"Explode the ring! Explode! Explode! Explode!"

Tang Hao's last three spirit rings shattered one by one.

A powerful soul force formed a soul force storm around his body.

The Haotian Hammer in his hand was also stained with a layer of blood.

Tang Hao leaped into the air; this time, his target was no longer Bibi Dong.

Instead, it refers to the elders of the Spirit Hall who are unable to use their spirit skills.

Bibi Dong's heart skipped a beat.

It was also her carelessness.

Believing he could suppress everything, he brought them all in!

This is the Spirit Hall's top combat force. If it falls here, Qian Daoliu will definitely go crazy!

And her plan to dominate the entire Douluo Continent was completely ruined!

"True Spirit Body!"

When Bibi Dong became fierce, her entire body was enveloped in purple light, and her upper body was covered with a layer of purplish-black armor.

The abdomen transforms into the shape of a purplish-black spider.

Fourth Soul Skill: Thorn Spider Armor

Long, purplish-black thorns, each over a meter long, covered every part of Bibi Dong's body.

Its purple armor also became exceptionally thick.

"Click—"

Even so, most of Bibi Dong's armor was shattered.

By the time she came to her senses, Tang Hao had already vanished without a trace!

"Chase!"

Bibi Dong's face darkened. If he got away, what face would she, as the Pope, have left?

The turmoil in the killing city remains unknown to anyone.

The "Auction Grand Ceremony" held at the second-hand auction caused quite a stir, and everyone in Tiandou City knew about it.

"Young Master, shall we go and take a look too?" Old Lu said with a grin.

"Go, why don't you go?"

Lin Jiuxuan responded enthusiastically.

He's been quite disturbed these past few days.

Emperor Xueye actually threw that unruly princess into the Heavenly Dou Academy.

Every day, Dugu Yan and he would argue with each other, which even slowed down his cultivation progress.

This is a good opportunity to clear my mind.

"Hehe, I heard that the grand finale of this auction is a soul bone!" Old Lu said with a longing look.

"In my entire life, I've never seen what a soul bone looks like!"

"Oh, it's nothing. When I'm rich someday, I'll give you a few coins!"

Lin Jiuxuan joked,

It's a pity that his few soul bones were absorbed on the spot, otherwise I would definitely have fulfilled Lao Lu's wish.

As the Duke of Tiandou, Lin Jiuxuan naturally received an invitation as well.

But he didn't make a fuss and walked to the auction with Lao Lu and Su Su.

Just consider it a way to relax.

"Have you heard? The grand finale of the secondhand auction is a soul bone!"

"I've heard about it! I can't believe it, those junk collectors are so rich! They don't even care about soul bones!"

"Auction? Don't you understand what an auction is? Who said it was from that secondhand guild? But it looks like they made a lot of money; they've even overshadowed the Heavenly Dou Auction!"

"That's right. I heard that princes, ministers, even members of the Heavenly Dou royal family, and people from the major sects have all come."

Lin Jiuxuan shook her head. She had thought coming out would help her clear her head.

As a result, the streets were filled with talk of the auction.

However, the speed at which this secondhand guild is developing is indeed somewhat strange.

His visit this time was not without the intention of probing the situation.

The three walked and stopped frequently, and soon arrived at the Tiandou Second-hand Auction House.

This auction hall, with a diameter of two to three hundred meters and a height of over one hundred meters, resembles a crouching behemoth.

The crowds coming and going looked like a swarm of ants in front of it.

Before I even reached the main entrance, two uniformed young women with excellent eyesight greeted me with smiles.

"Hello! Which auction are you attending?"

"The main auction tonight!"

Lin Jiuxuan took out a golden invitation card.

The two receptionists widened their eyes in surprise.

They never expected that they, ordinary receptionists, would encounter such high-class VIPs.

Shouldn't such important figures be surrounded by luxury cars, beautiful women, and countless followers?

How could it be so simple?

Could it be fake?

The two accepted the invitation. To their right and slightly in front of them was a silver auction hammer relief, which shone brightly in the sunlight.

That's the logo of a secondhand auction.

There's no mistake!

"This way, please! We'll get the manager right away!"

"No need, just take us to the venue!"

Lin Jiuxuan stopped the two of them.

"Okay, this way please!"

Although the two young ladies looked nervous, they were incredibly excited inside.

They enthusiastically introduced the place along the way.

The secondhand auction market is more like a large marketplace than an auction market.

The vast venue is divided into one main venue and twelve sub-venues.

The twelve sub-venues represent twelve categories, and filming will take place in turn every two hours.

The remaining sub-venues switched to a sales model.

Auctions take many forms, including blind auctions and semi-blind auctions.

This made Lin Jiuxuan even more certain that the person behind this must be someone from his hometown.

"Sir, please come in!"

The two young ladies led Lin Jiuxuan to a luxurious VIP room that was nearly 100 square meters in size.

The interior was adorned with gold and jade carvings, and fully equipped with all necessary amenities.

On the outermost edge was a high platform that was partially hidden, and a large throne.

"Here is your license plate number!"

Seeing that Lin Jiuxuan made no response,

After the handover was completed, the two had no choice but to leave reluctantly, turning back every few steps.

Lin Jiuxuan gently stroked the license plate, which resembled neither gold nor jade.

"Jia Shiyi"

This license plate is like a credit card, with different credit limits depending on the holder's social status.

The VIP lounge, located on the top floor, offers a panoramic view of the entire venue. Sitting on the throne, one feels like an emperor.

It gives people the feeling of being in control of everything and omnipotent.

As night fell, the grand auction officially began.

A 100-meter-high light screen rose in the huge main venue.

Good evening, everyone!

"Welcome everyone to the secondhand auction! I'm your host, Xiao Feifei."

A middle-aged host with white hair appeared on the giant screen, his expression excited and his voice highly infectious.

What's most amazing is that his martial spirit is actually a microphone!

That's right.

Lin Jiuxuan only noticed it when he saw the three yellow spirit rings flashing on the microphone.

It just goes to show that the world is a vast and wondrous place.

This reminded him of the eyepatch-wearing martial spirit.

Could there be a triangular martial soul?

Just as Lin Jiuxuan was lost in thought, the first round of auctions had already begun.

"Please welcome the first treasure of this auction: Millennia-old whale glue!"

"I believe most of the guests are aware of its function: to increase the upper limit of soul ring absorption."

The champion of this year's Soul Master Competition, Duke Lin Jiuxuan of the Black Tiger faction, is the best proof that this duke's free contributions can also improve male companionship.

"Hehe, young master, you're practically becoming a spokesperson for whale glue!" Old Lu joked.

"Now, all my sunflower seeds are cooked with whale gelatin, and even the street food vendors add whale gelatin."

Lin Jiuxuan sighed and smiled wryly, thinking, "Who can blame me when this thing is so powerful?"

We must grasp both aspects firmly!

It directly hit everyone's weak spot.

"Starting bid: 10 Gold Soul Coins! Guests, please press the button next to your seats to increase your bid!"

The announcer's voice rang out again, and the bidding button was prominently displayed next to the armrest of the throne.

Four buttons, adorned with gold crystals, are arranged in order: ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, and ten million.

"This is truly a place of extreme extravagance and depravity; it's not a place for ordinary people!"

Lin Jiuxuan sighed.

The white-clad manager standing nearby was furious. "Have you considered our feelings when you said that?"

Unfortunately, he only dared to mutter it to himself, not daring to make the slightest mistake in the curve of his lips.

"Please welcome the third item for auction: a golden feather jade burial suit. The fourth item for auction: a ten-thousand-year-old golden dragon shark fin."

It was truly a collection of rare and precious treasures, which broadened Lin Jiuxuan's horizons.

"Ninth item for auction: Flowing Cloud Jade Core,"

Made from a mutated ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, the Soul-Suppressing Walnut, and carved by the continent's top master craftsmen, it has the effect of calming the mind and aiding cultivation.

This is a treasured possession of Duke Lin Langtian of Baishan! It was rumored to be a family heirloom, but it accidentally ended up in the world.

Lin Jiuxuan hadn't paid much attention at first, but upon hearing the name Lin Langtian, she instantly perked up.
