Douluo: When the piano sounds, the hidden weapon returns to the factory

Several days later, on a deserted mountain road.

A convoy of vehicles belonging to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was slowly moving forward, its tracks deep, suggesting it was carrying a considerable amount of supplies. However, the escort was not top-tier, consisting of only a few Soul King-level disciples. This was a decoy intelligence report about the "transfer of important sect supplies," cleverly "leaked" to the Tang Sect by the Spirit Hall.

Shadows crept in from the depths of the dense forest on both sides of the mountain path.

Tang San's figure appeared like a ghost on the branches of an ancient tree, his dark red eyes coldly surveying the convoy below. Behind him were several skilled members of the Tang Clan.

"Sect Master, it's confirmed, it's the emblem of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The guards aren't strong, so the intelligence seems to be correct," a disciple of the Power Clan whispered.

Tang San's lips curled into a cruel smile: "Ning Fengzhi... this is the price you pay for your betrayal. Move, leave no one alive, and destroy all the supplies."

He didn't take action himself; he simply waved his hand lightly.

The next moment, countless poisoned crossbow bolts poured out of the dense forest like a torrential downpour! Instantly covering the entire convoy!

"Enemy attack!!" The disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were terrified and released their martial souls to try to defend themselves. However, what was strange was that none of these disciples possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul.

Tang San's expression turned serious upon seeing this scene. After a moment's thought, he overlooked the oddity, thinking it made sense. Who would use their direct bloodline to do the dirty and tiring work of escorting supplies? Besides, who else would dare to target the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the territory of Heaven Dou?

Several skilled members of the Tang Clan were like tigers among sheep. Their attacks were powerful and heavy, and the hidden weapons they carried were specifically designed to break through soul power defenses, while their deadly poisons were lethal upon contact with blood.

The battle was almost entirely a one-sided massacre.

As a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciple lay dying, he stared in terror at Tang San emerging from the shadows and hissed, "It's...it's you! Tang San! The Sect Master won't let this go..."

Before the words were finished, a crisp sound rang out, ending it completely.

In a short time, the entire convoy was wiped out, and the cargo was also corroded and destroyed by the special liquid.

Tang San coldly surveyed the carnage before him, the murderous aura surrounding him seemingly intensifying, giving him a morbid sense of satisfaction. He relished this feeling of controlling life and death, of trampling on the rules.

However, just as he was preparing to lead his men to evacuate—

"Tang San!! How dare you!"

A thunderous roar rolled down from the void! Accompanying it was an incomparably deep and terrifying pressure that seemed capable of suppressing everything!
In the distance, billowing dust rose as a massive figure, as imposing as a mountain, hurtled through the air at terrifying speed! It was none other than the Bone Douluo, Gu Rong, who had been lying in wait in the void for a long time!

Almost simultaneously, from another direction, an incredibly sharp sword intent, seemingly capable of cleaving through space, soared into the sky and locked onto Tang San! Sword Douluo Chen Xin's figure also appeared from another direction, blocking his retreat!
After learning about the Spirit Hall's plan, Ning Fengzhi was also eager to see what kind of strength Tang San possessed. He transported supplies along the usual route, but transferred all the direct disciples of the sects away. He didn't care even if the newly joined disciples were dishonest. He was waiting for Tang San to appear.

Gu Rong stared at the corpses of his sect disciples scattered on the ground, his eyes bloodshot with rage, but he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his sect leader had anticipated the enemy's moves. If the core disciples hadn't been evacuated, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have suffered a severe blow. A massive bone dragon phantom appeared behind him: "You little beast! Today, I will tear you to pieces!"

Although Chen Xin did not speak, he had already obtained the Seven Kill Sword. The cold killing intent was so real that it seemed to cut through the surrounding air.

Tang San's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart sank. He instantly realized he had fallen into a trap! This was a trap set specifically for him!
But then an even more frenzied rage flashed in his eyes, and the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand with a bang, the dark blood-red soul ring shining brightly!

"Two old geezers, you think you can stop me?!"

A great battle erupted!
Gu Rong's bone dragon tore through the earth, Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword light pierced through the void, and Tang San wielded the Clear Sky Hammer. Relying on the strange power brought by the power of the Hypnos God and the pure killing sword intent, he actually fought against two established peak Douluo!

The terrifying collision of soul power completely destroyed the entire mountain path, and the area within several miles was swept away as if by a natural disaster!
The bone dragon of the ancient banyan tree and the sword intent of Chen Xin were like two towering giants, firmly locking Tang San in the center of the destroyed mountain path. Facing two renowned peak Douluo, Tang San showed no fear; instead, his dark red pupils burst forth with an even more frenzied fighting spirit and bloodlust!
"Good timing! Perfect for testing your hammer!" Tang San roared hoarsely, his Clear Sky Hammer swelling in the wind, and his dark blood-red fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up. A powerful killing aura mixed with the ultimate power of the Clear Sky Hammer slammed into Gu Rong, who was charging forward first, without any fancy moves!

"Killing God Domain - Annihilation!"

boom--! ! !
The Haotian Hammer clashed violently with the massive bone dragon form of the Ancient Banyan Tree! A terrifying energy shockwave exploded outwards in a ring, crushing everything in its vicinity—rocks and broken wood—into dust!
Gu Rong grunted, his massive bone dragon body slid back several feet by the impact, and even fine cracks appeared on his bone claws! Incredulous horror flashed in his eyes. The power of Tang San's hammer blow far exceeded that of an ordinary Title Douluo, and it contained a chilling killing intent that corroded the soul, causing his blood to surge!

"Old bones, be careful! His power is strange! Let me deal with him!" Chen Xin shouted coldly, his body moving with his sword! The Seven Kill Sword transformed into a dazzling blue light that tore through the heavens and earth, man and sword becoming one, stabbing straight at Tang San's side! Before the sword even arrived, the extremely sharp sword intent and the vast and magnificent killing aura already made Tang San feel a bone-chilling cold on his skin!
Tang San suddenly turned around, and the Clear Sky Hammer spun around at an extremely strange angle to block, with dark blood-red runes flashing on the hammer!
clang--! ! !
A piercing clang of metal clashing against metal echoed through the sky, sparks flying everywhere! Tang San's arm went numb from Chen Xin's exquisite and fierce sword strike, and he staggered backward, the ground beneath his feet cracking. But a maniacal smile spread across his face. Using the momentum of his retreat, he swung his Clear Sky Hammer again, smashing it back at Chen Xin with even greater ferocity!
"Let's finish this quickly! Seventh Soul Skill - Bone Dragon True Form!"

"The seventh soul skill: Seven Kills True Body!"

Gu Rong and Chen Xin dared not hold back any longer and simultaneously activated their Martial Soul True Forms! A ferocious bone dragon that blotted out the sky and a blue giant sword that reached the heavens and the earth stood between heaven and earth, and the vast soul power pressure made the world lose its color!
When two peak Douluo join forces, their power is extraordinary.
The bone dragon roared, its massive bone tail sweeping across like a mountain range, blocking all of Tang San's escape routes! The Seven Kill Greatsword slashed down from the sky, its sword light condensing into a tangible form, as if it would split the entire world in two!
Tang San found himself in an unprecedentedly difficult battle. Although he possessed the power of the God of Slaughter and the domain of the God of Slaughter, which greatly increased his strength, speed, and the power of his soul skills, he was still a new Title Douluo. Facing two well-coordinated and incredibly experienced level 95 peak Douluos, he immediately found himself overwhelmed.

He swung the Clear Sky Hammer frantically, unleashing his dark, blood-red killing domain at full power, attempting to suppress, erode, and interfere with his opponent. However, Gu Rong's bone dragon defense was extremely formidable, and Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword Intent was incredibly refined, resisting the erosion of killing intent to a certain extent. "Eighth Soul Skill - Bone Prison Cage!" Gu Rong seized an opening and activated his strongest control soul skill! Countless enormous, snow-white bones burst from the ground, instantly forming a massive cage that trapped Tang San within, constantly shrinking and compressing. The strange power attached to the bones frantically consumed Tang San's soul power and killing intent!
"Seven Kills! Break Through Illusion! Sword Dao of Dust and Heart!" Without hesitation, the Seven Kills Greatsword erupted with unprecedented light, and a cross-shaped slash that incorporated all his lifelong sword comprehension tore through space and slashed fiercely toward Tang San, who was trapped in the bone prison! This was a sure-kill blow!
The killing intent contained within the giant sword, under Chen Xin's full-force activation, instantly suppressed the killing intent contained within Tang San. In that critical moment, Tang San's eyes blazed with blood-red light, and the divine power belonging to the God of Slaughter was fully unleashed!
Two completely different killing intents were clashing.

"What a laughable killing intent, all for the sake of protection... You're even more hypocritical than that Shura guy! Your existence has tainted the killing intent!" A mocking voice emanated from Tang San's body.

In the realm of gods, although he was a deity under the Asura, all those who could become gods had their own ideals and pride. Admittedly, although his strength was not as great as that of the killing gods such as Asura and Rakshasa, his killing intent was extremely pure, which was the path he had followed throughout his life!

At this moment, the dark red patterns all over Tang San's body writhed like living things, and his power surged again, forcibly breaking through the bone prison for a moment! He gripped the hammer with both hands, throwing all his power into meeting the cross-shaped slash!
Rumble, rumble—! ! !
An unprecedentedly terrifying explosion illuminated half the sky! An energy storm raged, even temporarily forcing Gu Rong and Chen Xin to retreat!

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

Tang San knelt on one knee, his Clear Sky Hammer supporting his body. Blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his aura was chaotic, clearly indicating that he had suffered serious internal injuries. But he still stared intently at the two Douluo in the air, his eyes like those of a wounded beast, filled with resentment and bitterness.

Gu Rong and Chen Xin hovered in the air, their faces pale and their breathing slightly disordered. Although they held an absolute advantage, the strange divine power that Tang San unleashed at the end still made them tremble with fear.

"Boy, I will take your life today!" Gu Rong roared, about to launch another attack.

But Tang San suddenly raised his head, revealing a sly smile: "Want to keep me here? Not so easy!"

He suddenly spread his hand wide, and several of the most powerful hidden weapons from the Tang Clan—the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles—shot towards Gu Rong and Chen Xin like a shower of flowers from a celestial maiden. The purpose was not to harm the enemy, but only to create a moment of chaos!
At the same time, he pushed off with his feet, his figure retreating rapidly like a ghost, instantly disappearing into the dense forest, his voice carrying far: "Tang San will remember today's favor! He will repay it a hundredfold in the future!"

Gu Rong and Chen Xin deflected the powerful but ultimately harmless hidden weapons with a flick of their sleeves. When they tried to give chase, Tang San's aura had already vanished into the depths of the dense forest, completely concealed by the intense killing aura.

"Damn it! That little beast got away!" Gu Rong angrily slammed his fist against the mountain wall beside him.

Chen Xin sheathed his sword and stood there, his face grave as he looked in the direction Tang San had disappeared: "He's more troublesome than we imagined. That power... is extremely pure and terrifying. Feng Zhi's worries were justified; fortunately, we've learned some of the truth as well."

Looking at the mess on the ground and the corpses of the sect disciples, the two sighed slightly. Although these were newly joined disciples and those who were not very well-behaved, they were still considered members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Of course, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would arrange everything for them.

Although they repelled Tang San, they allowed this extremely dangerous enemy to escape.

This sudden encounter marked a complete escalation of the conflict between Tang San and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from an undercurrent to a head-on confrontation of no return! Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall, hidden deep within, was coldly observing all of this.

Before long, Gu Rong and Chen Xin returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, still radiating killing intent and a heavy atmosphere. The atmosphere within the sect had noticeably become more tense, and the number of patrolling disciples had more than doubled.

Inside the council hall, Ning Fengzhi was already waiting. When he saw the pale faces of the two guardian elders and the lingering heaviness in their eyes, he already guessed what was going on.

"Feng Zhi!" As soon as Gu Rong entered the room, he couldn't help but slam his fist into the jade pillar beside him, making a dull thud. "That little beast got away! Damn it, that kid must have gotten some kind of evil power, he's ridiculously hard!"

Chen Xin remained relatively calm, but his tone was equally grave: "Tang San has indeed been promoted to Title Douluo, and his combat power far surpasses that of ordinary people of the same level. In particular, his strange divine power, which is full of killing intent and corrosiveness, is extremely difficult to deal with. Although the two of us can defeat him by joining forces, he is determined to escape. In addition, his secret domain and many strange hidden weapons also hindered us, so we were unable to stop him."

He paused, looked at Ning Fengzhi, and said with a hint of lingering fear in his eyes, "Fengzhi, your judgment was correct. This boy has completely fallen into the path of killing, his temperament has changed drastically, and he has no bottom line whatsoever. Today, he attacked the convoy with cruel methods, leaving no one alive. His threat far exceeds any of our previous estimates."

Ning Fengzhi listened quietly, his gentle expression replaced by an icy chill. He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and seemed to smell the stench of blood carried by the wind from the distant mountain path.

When he opened his eyes again, all that remained in them was absolute calmness and decisiveness.

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu." Ning Fengzhi's voice was calm and even as he walked to his desk and began to write.

He picked up the letter and handed it to Chen Xin: "Uncle Jian, do you have anything to add? If not, I would like to trouble you to go to the Spirit Hall's secret outpost in a nearby city and give this to their person in charge."

The contents are extremely detailed. Based on the judgment of Tang San's personality, it predicts his next possible retaliatory action against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and even the Heaven Dou Royal Family. It even includes the estimated locations of several possible important secret strongholds of the Tang Sect!

Ning Fengzhi looked at the two guardian elders, his tone as firm as iron: "There may have been room for maneuver before, but after today, it is a fight to the death. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School alone can hardly deal with this fiend. Since we are destined to borrow strength, we might as well do it thoroughly. Only by relying on the power of the Spirit Hall and eradicating it completely with thunderous force can the sect have a glimmer of hope."

He looked out the window, his gaze seemingly piercing through the void, and saw that figure of frenzied killing: "Tang San... since you have sought your own death, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Chen Xin nodded emphatically, saying nothing more. He gripped the dossier tightly, and with a flash, disappeared from the council hall. He would deliver this crucial intelligence, which could determine Tang San's fate, to the Spirit Hall as quickly as possible. (End of Chapter)
