In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

"You brat, how dare you hurt my son?" A deep voice suddenly rang out, as if it exploded in the air. Although the voice was not loud, it exuded an aura of dominance.

Upon hearing this voice, Tang San, who had been on the verge of despair, suddenly raised his head, his eyes gleaming with hope. Lan Si, on the other hand, showed no surprise whatsoever, as if she had expected it all along.

A massive black iron hammer, as thick as a water vat, descended from the sky. The hundreds of sharp blades, wreathed in orange-red flames, were instantly deflected, spun a few times in the air, and finally scattered neatly around Tang San and Dugu Bo, without harming them in the slightest.

A black figure appeared silently at the top of the hammer handle, as if he had always been there.

This was a burly old man with white hair, one arm, and sallow skin. Coupled with his beard that hadn't been groomed for who knows how many days, he was incredibly slovenly.

Upon seeing the white-haired old man appear, Tang San's mind and body instantly collapsed. Tears welled in his eyes, and he managed to utter two words with difficulty, "Dad..."

Yes, this one-armed old man is Tang Ritian. Five years have passed, and due to the loss of his arm, his cultivation has greatly decreased. With only eighty-one levels of soul power, he has completely aged.

Ever since Tang San left Sunset Forest, he had been secretly following him out of concern. Even when he witnessed Tang San being framed at the gathering of the four major single-attribute sects, he didn't intervene. He knew that if he did, things would only get worse.

After all, he had seen the resentment that the other three single-attribute sects harbored towards him, apart from the Power Clan.

He wouldn't have shown up if Tang San hadn't been in dire straits.

Chapter 316 Lan Si vs. Tang Ritian

"Tang Ritian, you've finally shown up. It's been five years. I didn't expect you to have become such a decrepit old man. If it weren't for this piece of junk hammer, I almost wouldn't have recognized you." Lan Si stared at Tang Ritian calmly.

"You knew I would show up?" Tang Hao's lips twitched. Now he finally understood why Lan Si had used the alias Tang Ritian. It turned out that he had just randomly chosen the last character of his name.

Lan Si smiled calmly, "Of course, you're just a mere 81st Soul Douluo. Do you really think you're still the Haotian Douluo with a Soul Power of 95? You've been secretly following Tang San all this time. I think, apart from that disgraceful Title Douluo, Old Poison, anyone with Title Douluo strength should be able to find you."

"What a sharp-tongued brat! I should have finished you off five years ago. Otherwise, you wouldn't have become such a major threat today." Tang Ritian jumped off the Clear Sky Hammer, and with a wave of his left hand, the Clear Sky Hammer instantly shrank and was grasped in his hand.

Purple, black, black, black, black, red—six incredibly bizarre spirit rings rose slowly from beneath Tang Hao's feet one after another. He held up the Clear Sky Hammer and slowly walked towards Lan Si. The Clear Sky Hammer touched the ground, carving out furrows.

"It's a pity you don't have one, isn't it?" Lan Si's expression suddenly turned cold as she slowly walked towards Tang Ritian.

The two stopped simultaneously, about five meters apart. Lan Si said calmly, "Before we make a move, I have a question for you. I wonder if you can answer it?"

"Is this considered a last message?" Tang Ritian frowned and answered coldly.

Lan Si said calmly, "Say what you will, but I don't think you can kill me. I'm asking you, why did you drag your soul beast wife around when your soul power was about to reach level ninety, and even openly bring her back to the sect? It was as if you were afraid that she wouldn't be discovered by the other titled Douluo."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ritian flashed forward and swung his Haotian Hammer at Lan Si.

Lan Si did not dodge; a thought flashed through his mind, and the orange-red flame giant's fist swung out.

Clang—A violent impact resounded throughout the heavens and earth. Tang Ritian's Haotian Hammer strike was easily blocked by the Azure Lotus True Body.

Inside the Azure Lotus True Body, Lan Si continued, "What, are you feeling guilty? Afraid that I'll reveal your secret? Fine, I'll ask you again. Why didn't you let Tang San go to the Star Dou Great Forest to find Xiao Wu earlier, or later? Why did you wait until he reached level 60 before letting him set off? And there just happened to be a group of people going to capture Xiao Wu? Speaking of which, I should thank you. At that time, my soul power had just reached level 70. If those people hadn't held back the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, I really wouldn't have been able to put on Tang San's human skin mask and trick Xiao Wu into sacrificing herself."

"Disgraceful!" Tang Ritian roared in fury, leaping into the sky. His fourth black soul ring lit up, and the Clear Sky Hammer suddenly blazed forth, unleashing a burst of intense black light. The Clear Sky Hammer swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into a hammer head over thirty meters long, resembling a small hill.

Its overall size was no less than that of Lan Si's Martial Soul True Body.

"Are you angry? But being angry won't help. I still have to say it. Tang San over there, listen up. The group of people you know wasn't brought by me. It was your father who tipped off the Spirit Hall before you went to the Star Dou Great Forest, with the aim of forcing Xiao Wu to sacrifice herself for you so that you could obtain an unprecedented 100,000-year sixth ring. Unfortunately... I stumbled upon all of this. In the end, it all benefited me for nothing."

As he spoke, Lan Si's fourth soul ring lit up instantly, and the Azure Lotus Sword appeared in his hand out of thin air.

The moment the Azure Lotus Sword appeared, the orange-red flame giant surrounding it also conjured a huge flame sword in its hand.

"Dad...is what he said true?" Tang San's eyes were vacant as he looked at Tang Ritian with disbelief. Dugu Bo was equally shocked. He never imagined that dating a 100,000-year-old soul beast could be done this way, tricking it into sacrificing itself.

A dazzling golden light suddenly emerged from the massive Clear Sky Hammer, and Tang Ritian's fifth black spirit ring suddenly lit up, instantly transforming the black hammer into gold. Originally, he intended to unleash a 100,000-year spirit skill, but because his spirit power had dropped to the Soul Douluo level, he was unable to use that 100,000-year red spirit ring, rendering it useless.

"Lan Si, what a sharp-tongued brat, haha... Today I'll make you pay a bloody price..." Tang Ritian laughed angrily, and his only remaining left hand moved.

The massive Haotian Hammer, thirty meters long, suddenly descended, smashing down furiously towards Lan Si's location.

"Then you can give it a try." Lan Si also moved, and the Azure Lotus Longsword in his hand slowly floated out and merged into the huge flaming longsword.

The seven spirit rings on the two yellow, one purple, three black, and one red spirit rings lit up simultaneously, and finally, the energy of all the spirit rings merged into the fourth black spirit ring.

Lan Si slightly bent his palm and suddenly thrust out. The orange-red flame giant suddenly stabbed out, and a beam of orange-red light as thick as a bucket suddenly erupted, covering the Haotian Hammer in Tang Ritian's hand.

Four hundred and twenty-year-old Crimson Feather Eagle, nine hundred-year-old Shadow-Splitting Beast, two thousand five hundred-year-old Soul-Devouring Demon Spider, ten-headed Blazing Sun Serpent, sixty-eight thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, one hundred thousand-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit.

In the Martial Soul True Body state, use the Fusion Ring to simultaneously enhance the soul power released by the soul rings produced by these six soul beasts when using their output skills onto the Azure Lotus Sword soul skill derived from the Blue Silver Emperor's natal soul ring.

Its power is unimaginable; it must be incredibly strong.

The Azure Lotus Sword is a soul skill that concentrates all of Lan Si's power into a single point to break through the surface; it is Lan Si's strongest single-target killing move.

Furthermore, with the Blue Silver Emperor natal spirit ring continuously increasing as Lan Si's body's limits were raised, it had already reached a level close to a 100,000-year spirit ring. All it needed was a trigger to break through and become a true 100,000-year spirit ring.

At this moment, facing Tang Ritian, whose soul power was only at level 81, the outcome was predictable.

The moment the orange-red flame beam collided with Haotian's true form, Haotian's true form was instantly at a disadvantage. Tang Ritian, who was holding the Haotian Hammer, was also affected. The man and the hammer were impacted and, like cannonballs, were pushed back at an unbelievable speed.

In the blink of an eye, a terrifying, massive trench was carved out of the palace square. Finally, a violent explosion occurred at the edge of the square.

A deafening explosion, shaking the entire Heavenly Dou City, erupted from the plaza, followed by a massive mushroom cloud of fire rising into the sky...

"Dad..." Tang San cried out urgently as he watched Tang Ritian being engulfed in the explosion. Dugu Bo, on the other hand, broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that if he had been hit by Lan Si's attack, even without the suppression of the orange-red flames, he would have been doomed.

"You should worry about yourselves first." Lan Si's voice suddenly rang in their ears, and in the next instant, he appeared beside them, his hands suddenly reaching out. By the time they reacted, Lan Si had already firmly grabbed their necks.

The two felt their bodies go limp and instantly lost all strength.

Chapter 317 Finally Seeing the Great Sumeru Hammer

...In front of the Emperor's palace on a snowy night.

The four titled Douluo—Chrysanthemum Pass, Ghostly Demon, Porcupine, and Serpent Spear—are currently observing from the shadows.

The four of them stared in disbelief at the rising cloud of flames, their eyes wide and mouths agape in an "O" shape.

"Hey... Old Ghost, I didn't see wrong, did I? That Tang Hao was defeated so easily by Lan Si... Speaking of which, does a Martial Soul True Body created by a 100,000-year-old Soul Ring really have such great power?" Chrysanthemum Pass asked Ghost in disbelief.

"Although Tang Hao's cultivation has dropped to the Soul Douluo level, there is no doubt that Lan Si already possesses strength comparable to a Title Douluo. Once he becomes a Title Douluo, I'm afraid that across the entire continent, apart from His Holiness the Pope and the Grand Elder, there will be very few who can rival him." Ghost swallowed hard.

"That's true, but that old poison master is far too trashy. He was so careless that he was easily grabbed by the neck by a junior. I'm afraid that after today, his title of Poison Douluo will become a joke." Chrysanthemum Pass said gloatingly.

Upon hearing the commotion, Qian Renxue, Marshal Gange, and others, who had just confirmed the death of Emperor Xueye, also hurriedly emerged from the blood-soaked palace.

Looking at the slowly dissipating mushroom cloud in the distance, and then at Lan Si who was holding Tang San and Dugu Bo by the neck, his expression was indescribably interesting.

Even Qian Renxue, Xiao Maomi, and Ye Lingling showed expressions of shock, gaining a deeper understanding of their young man's strength.

"Your Highness... oh no, Your Majesty, was that Mr. Lan Si who was grabbing Dugu Bo's neck?" Ge Long swallowed hard. Since he had confirmed that Xue Ye, Xue Xing, and Xue Beng were dead, and that only Crown Prince Xue Qinghe remained as a direct male descendant of the Tian Dou royal family, Ge Long directly addressed him as "Your Majesty."

Qian Renxue nodded slowly, outwardly appearing bitter and resentful, but inwardly she was overjoyed. "A-Si's strength is evident to all. We just need to wait for him to capture Dugu Bo and Tang San, those two traitors who murdered the emperor and usurped the throne. Marshal Ge Long, Tang San is the leader of the Tang Sect, and the Power Clan has already pledged allegiance to him. I now, as the future emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, order you to mobilize the three members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's teaching committee and three thousand royal soul masters to go to the Power Clan and capture the Tang Sect traitors. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy... In addition, Tang San was once a student of Shrek Academy, so Shrek Academy should not let him go either."

"Yes." Golong nodded respectfully, mustered his men, and headed towards the Power Clan's residence.

..............

Lan Si slowly raised his hands above his head, leaving spatial teleportation marks on Dugu Bo and Tang San's necks, while lifting their bodies up and then slamming them to the ground. With a loud bang, the ground instantly shattered.

*Pfft*—The two men, whose necks were being held down, spat out mouthfuls of blood.

Lan Si sneered, "I say, old poisoner, it's one thing that Tang San is such a piece of trash with weak strength, but you, as a Title Douluo, are far too careless, actually letting a junior like me grab your neck and make you unable to move..."

"Hiccup..." Dugu Bo and Tang San were gripped tightly by Lan Si's neck, their eyes bloodshot, veins bulging in their necks, almost suffocating, and unable to speak. They could only subconsciously grab Lan Si's elbows with both hands, trying to pry them off, but found it impossible.

Just as the two were about to suffocate, at this critical moment, a giant black hammer suddenly swung out from the direction of the explosion, heading straight for Lan Si to smash down.

Lan Si's lips curled slightly, and without the slightest hesitation, she flung Dugu Bo's body away, sending him flying towards the black giant hammer.

Unexpectedly, the giant black hammer did not strike Dugu Bo. Instead, it bypassed his body, circled in the air, and, as if drawn by some force, returned along the same path, finally landing in front of a disheveled black figure.

Meanwhile, Dugu Bo was caught by the black figure at some point.

"Hao...Haotian Douluo..." Having just narrowly escaped death, Dugu Bo was still panting heavily when he saw the giant black hammer in front of the figure and immediately cried out in horror.

"Dugu Bo, I'll leave Xiao San to you later... Today I'm going to kill this brat..." Tang Ritian didn't hesitate for a moment, bypassing Dugu Bo's figure and suddenly rushing towards Lan Si's direction. On his body, purple, black, black, black, black, and red—his first three soul rings—shattered simultaneously, transforming into streaks of blue-gold light that enveloped his entire body, making him appear almost transparent. A surging black light erupted from the Clear Sky Hammer, transforming into a gigantic phantom fifty meters long, appearing behind Tang Ritian. That gigantic phantom was none other than the Clear Sky Hammer itself.

"Exploding the rings?" Seeing Tang Ritian's strength surge, Lan Si murmured, his expression instantly hardening, but there was no panic in his eyes. He grabbed Tang San's neck with his left hand, and with his right hand, he took out a jade bottle containing the power of blood ginseng from his Qiankun bag at his waist, crushed it, and then struck Tang San's body with a palm.

Before the giant Clear Sky Hammer phantom could fall, he threw Tang San directly at it.

Tang Ritian naturally wouldn't harm Tang San. He put away the Clear Sky Hammer phantom, caught Tang San, and threw him to Dugu Bo. At the same time, he released the Clear Sky Hammer phantom again, heading straight for Lan Si.

Boom! The earth shook violently. Centered on the illusory image of the Haotian Hammer, the entire plaza began to crack in a spiderweb pattern, and the surrounding buildings collapsed into ruins.

"Clap clap clap..." The sound of applause suddenly rang out from the sky. Tang Ritian looked up and saw Lan Si standing on a green lotus, inside the green lotus body, clapping.

"As expected of Haotian Douluo, if I had taken that attack head-on, I'm afraid even I wouldn't have survived. But that's enough. If you were at your peak, I would have turned around and left immediately, but now, it's different."

As he spoke, Lan Si raised both hands above his head. Lightning flashed in his left hand, releasing the Haotian Bamboo Shoot, while orange-red flames rose in his right hand, and the Chaotic Green Lotus appeared out of thin air. Behind him, purple light pulsed, and the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Spears unfurled.

Seven spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, and red—soared into the sky, floated high above, overlapped together, and descended a huge orange-red pillar of light, enveloping Qinglian's true form and Lan Si within it.

The orange-red pillar of light slowly dissipated, and Lan Si's figure disappeared. In its place was a figure that no one except Qian Renxue, Ye Lingling, Xiao Maomi, and the four Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall had ever seen before.

This was a young man completely shrouded in magnificent, ice-blue armor. His build was identical to Lan Si's, and he had long, flowing hair, also ice-blue in color. Because his face was covered by armor, his features were obscured.

What's even stranger is his back; the original Eight Spider Lances of Soul Devouring are gone, replaced by eight purple-gold wings, closely connected to his ice-blue armor.

Chapter 318 The Battle Ends

"The Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Spears have actually fused with two great martial souls? That's quite an unexpected surprise." The young man murmured, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He slightly raised his hand, and a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, landing in his palm and transforming into a dark gold cone-shaped hammer with a surface covered with brilliant gold spiral patterns, just like the one Lan Si had before.

The moment the hammer was gripped in his hand, lightning crackled around his ice-blue armor. He abruptly opened his eyes, and an aura comparable to that of a Title Douluo burst forth from his body, transforming into a ring of ice-blue energy waves mixed with wisps of lightning. Wherever it passed, a fierce wind arose, and a thick layer of frost formed on the ground.

The orange-red giant, resembling Xiao Wu, was now wearing a set of ice-blue armor that was completely different from the young man's. He also wielded a dark gold, cone-shaped hammer.

More than three years have passed since he slew the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and his self-fusion martial soul skill has erupted once again.

Lan Si raised the Haotian Bamboo Shoot high, and a thunderclap shot straight into the sky. Suddenly, dark clouds covered the entire square, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
